Comic Relief – SNL News
SNL is reviving again, and I am grateful. These two bits made my whole week.
Really!?! – Seth Myers and Amy Poehler
This new segment is fantastic. I was laughing so hard that I almost fell off the couch. Worth staying up to watch.
Hardball – Amy Poehler (as Hillary Clinton) and Darryl Hammond (as Chris Matthews)
This was brilliant. I like the court jester approach, and there are some grains of truth in the exaggerations here. However, as with Hammond’s portrayal of Bill Clinton years ago, I am actually getting attached to the character. Great script, even better delivery. Some people will be upset, but I believe in the freedom of laughter. And I did laugh.
Now, I want to see McCain, Giuliani and Brownback characters! Can anybody do a credible Obama?
I enjoyed those clips, too. SNL has been very hot and cold for the past five seasons or so. Every time I’m ready to write it off, they pull something brilliant out of the hat.
I’m still humming “Dick in a Box” and watching it on my Zune.
I liked the “Really?” segment, too, and had basically had a conversation based on that script with a friend, before the show aired.
I said to my friend Sherman on Saturday morning: “Dude, you’re Michael Vick! You’re rich! Throw the damn water bottle away and buy more weed later!”
