I caught it from Knights of the Realm onward and thought Elton was hilarious
Hanks on SNL reminds me of why I used to like him

NBC's parent company Xfinity
what
― jaymc, Tuesday, April 5, 2011 10:10 AM (4 minutes ago) Bookmark
i guess i phrased that poorly; Comcast is the parent company and Xfinity is Comcast's rebranded name for their cable service

OK.
Re Forte, I definitely thought, "Man, I wonder how guys like Paul Brittain feel when the show puts on sketches where more than half the performers are neither cast members nor the host." (Had to do a Twitter search to figure out that was Carmelo Anthony.)

He seems like such a decent dude w/a good sense of humor. But his movies suck. It's all been downhill since Bachelor Party.

I wish he'd do more comedy that showed his natural style, the way he is on SNL or the way he is with Conan
― VegemiteGrrl, Wednesday, 6 April 2011 05:21 (thirteen years ago) link
yeah it's such a waste that Hanks has made like 2 non-animated comedies in the last decade and one of them was The Ladykillers. he's so ready to be hilarious at any given moment but so rarely takes the opportunity. almost a shame he's too big a star to ever star in a TV series.

the juggalo thing is always great -- i esp loved "mrs. potato dick" for some reason
also died @ kenan as teddy roosevelt

Made me pretty happy that he worked "arrondissement" into it.

Kenan as Teddy Roosevelt was pretty awesome
― curmudgeon, Monday, 11 April 2011 11:40 (thirteen years ago) link
Maybe I'm too close to the theater world (or too easily amused) but I thought the Hugh Jackman sketch was hilarious, especially Kenan as Ice Cube.

Kenan had Cube's inflection down...and jumping up with Julie Andrews and putting two in the dude was LOL
I loved that sketch, and the Roosevelts the most

As long as Target Lady lives on, I'm happy.

I miss Gilly already ;_;
― Dreaded Burrito Gang (DJP), Tuesday, 3 May 2011 17:24 (thirteen years ago) link
Yeah, I'd only recently come around on Gilly, so now I'm a little sad there will be no more sketches.
Penelope, good riddance.
― Johnny Fever, Tuesday, 3 May 2011 17:27 (thirteen years ago) link
I'm prob in the minority, but Penelope and Gilly were actually two of my fave Wiig characters. Target Lady not so much.

maybe we should just have this convo on this thread to avoid everyone repeating their preferences: worst recurring Kristen Wiig character on SNL

work on the tweet is that Madonna and Gaga were filming some video together, possibly for SNL.
― Gukbe, Tuesday, 3 May 2011 17:57 (thirteen years ago) link
This is the list of the last 3 eps this year, with Gaga being the musical performer on the finale. SNL usually goes big to end a season, so a Madonna cameo thing wouldn't surprise me (especially with Justin being there too).
May 7, 2011 Tina Fey/Ellie Goulding (36.20, live) [13][14]May 14, 2011 Ed Helms/Paul Simon (36.21, live)[14]May 21, 2011 Justin Timberlake/Lady Gaga (36.22, live) [15]
(Ellie Goulding seems like a stretch for a US audience, amirite?)

they made us watch Fleet Foxes, I wouldn't put anything past them at this point

After watching that performance, I was convinced Jessie J was going to be HUGE in the U.S.! Oh well.
― jaymc, Tuesday, 3 May 2011 18:20 (thirteen years ago) link
Jessie J at least has some radio presence here, though. Ellie Goulding is a blog star, and a UK blog star at that.

Lykke Li might've been a good idea. "I Follow Rivers" was even briefly on Glee.
― jaymc, Tuesday, 3 May 2011 18:23 (thirteen years ago) link
I would've signed on for that 100%. She's awesome in performance.

Also -- does this thread load mega-slowly for everyone, or just me?
― jaymc, Tuesday, 3 May 2011 18:24 (thirteen years ago) link
SNL did kind of break Adele in the US, though, so who knows what will happen. Tina Fey's a good lure to get people watching a particular episode.
