there's that sketch in the peter sarsgaard ep taking place in a hotel room that fails from just about every angle iirc
― Western® with Bacon Flavor, Monday, 10 November 2014 05:25 (nine years ago) link
But that episode had Peter Saarsgaard's SARS Guards so everything else was forgiven.
I'm old and have been watching since the early/mid 80s and I'm on the side of thinking the Rock episode might be one of the worst of all time.

I liked the Rockbama sketch though.

Jones turned 47 just before the season began, which does make her the oldest person ever to join the cast:http://www.allamericanspeakers.com/celebritytalentbios/Leslie-Joneshttps://www.facebook.com/LeslieJonesComedy/info

what the fuck series of events transpired in 2006 that resulted in peter sarsgaard hosting snl
― linda cardellini (zachlyon), Monday, 10 November 2014 18:03 (nine years ago) link
am i forgetting a period of time in which peter sarsgaard was popular enough for that
― linda cardellini (zachlyon), Monday, 10 November 2014 18:04 (nine years ago) link
dude didn't even have a movie coming out. like edward norton last year i think sometimes they just get a new york based actor who likely attends their after parties.
― da croupier, Monday, 10 November 2014 18:20 (nine years ago) link
He hosted in 2010, and I think he was coasting off An Education and Orphan and was ramping up for Knight and Day.
― Johnny Fever, Monday, 10 November 2014 18:49 (nine years ago) link
Oh wait, y'all are right. Wikipedia says 2010, but imdb says 2006. So fuck if I know.
― Johnny Fever, Monday, 10 November 2014 18:50 (nine years ago) link
Jarhead I guess? Came out in late 2005 and he hosted in January 2006.
― Johnny Fever, Monday, 10 November 2014 18:51 (nine years ago) link
I remember the sketch where he was an invited guest at a pirate convention. "saaaARRRRRsgARRRRRd"
― things lose meaning over time (Dr Morbius), Monday, 10 November 2014 18:52 (nine years ago) link
i remember the Peter Sarsgaard SARS guard. they probably asked him to host just for that and the pirate thing.
― mizzell, Monday, 10 November 2014 19:32 (nine years ago) link
he'd won a few awards and been in a bunch of 'big' films -- Jarhead, Kinsey, Shattered Glass etc -- plus he can also act and be funny, so yeah, why the fuck wd SNL need that in a host?
― things lose meaning over time (Dr Morbius), Monday, 10 November 2014 19:40 (nine years ago) link
Seriously. I heard Guy Fieri's interested.
― i only wanted freidn (Old Lunch), Monday, 10 November 2014 19:43 (nine years ago) link
That reminds me, it's been too long since Moynihan has played Guy Fieri.
― Johnny Fever, Monday, 10 November 2014 19:44 (nine years ago) link
even for their "love that guy - he's got a week off, doesn't need a hotel room" slow week choices like malkovich, norton, buscemi etc saars is pretty low profile, though
― da croupier, Monday, 10 November 2014 19:48 (nine years ago) link
prob most audience knew him (if they did) as the guy who turns around slowly while squinting at the twist of The Skeleton Key and Flightplan
― da croupier, Monday, 10 November 2014 19:50 (nine years ago) link
srsly dude is really good at the "actually i'm the bad guy" face
he's no Josh Hutcherson-level superstar, it's true
― things lose meaning over time (Dr Morbius), Monday, 10 November 2014 19:58 (nine years ago) link
"he's exactly a Josh Hutcherson-level superstar" seems to be the point everyone is making

John Malkovich lives in France, I believe
let's get you back in time to '77 to produce SNL so Jan-Michael Vincent can host instead of Broderick Crawford.

had supporting roles in several movies everyone forgot existed and had two talents lorne's never cared about
hutcherson's got a billion dollar franchise behind him u nerd
― linda cardellini (zachlyon), Monday, 10 November 2014 20:18 (nine years ago) link
I dunno Lorne musta signed off on Maureen Stapleton hosting in spring '79 (and she hadn't even won her Oscar yet)
― things lose meaning over time (Dr Morbius), Monday, 10 November 2014 20:23 (nine years ago) link
Yeah, but she was already pretty famous from All In The Family.

Buck Henry hosted eight times in the first five seasons; I think SNL's hosting criteria were a bit looser in the 70s (unless Henry, as a performer, was box-office gold in those days and its been erased from history).

(Buck Henry was Oscar nominated for co-directing Heaven Can Wait in that period, but yes, that had nothing to do with anything. Also he was willing to play the "funny uncle" in the recurring pedophile sketch.)
― things lose meaning over time (Dr Morbius), Monday, 10 November 2014 20:34 (nine years ago) link
You're never gonna see a Josh Hutcherson displaying that level of commitment to the show.
― i only wanted freidn (Old Lunch), Monday, 10 November 2014 20:38 (nine years ago) link
oh i dunno, i could see creepy sketches and character acting in his future

"thanks to mystikal" -- cameron diaz on SNL in 2014
― J0rdan S., Sunday, 23 November 2014 06:02 (nine years ago) link
Decent episode. I'm as surprised as anyone else, but the Mick Ronson performances were my favorite parts. I'd see that concert.
Also, "Bill Cosby, pull YOUR pants up."
― Johnny Fever, Sunday, 23 November 2014 06:24 (nine years ago) link
kenan was so much funnier than anyone else on this episode, that bizaroo brian fellows skit was great
― J0rdan S., Sunday, 23 November 2014 06:33 (nine years ago) link
kenan's deadpanning has been so on point this season
My favorite Kenan face tonight was when Diaz was reading her UPS Man poem.

Also, Pete Davidson is going to waste while Kyle Mooney gets to do his 4,619th awkward teen bro filmed bit.

i thought that bit was funny tonight but when davidson was in that one sketch i was like "oh right he's on this show"

This first Mars/Ronson song is sounding like leftover Morris Day & The Time, which I actually mean as a compliment.
