xp Belushi and Joe trying to out-Cocker each other on 'Feelin Alright'

I always like it when the celebrity shows up. The one where DeNiro and Pesci show up and threaten Jim Breur and whomever with bats was good.
And the more recent Walken family skit was pretty good, especially Amy Poehler.

Best digital short in a while. Minaj was great in Bride of Blackenstein as well.

My favorite of these was when Al Sharpton was hosting and Kenan came out as Al Sharpton circa 1980s, with the purple tracksuit and full-on James Brown hair, calling his current incarnation a sellout and accusing him of not even being able to dance anymore - then they had a dance-off. It was great.
lol never heard of this - sounds awesome

psshhh, I love early SNL, but the show has never "mattered." Of all the people to swaddle themselves in nostalgia, Morbs, really...

Old man me kinda thought it "mattered" during those Belushi - Cocker years that Morbs mentioned. Now you darn kids get off of my lawn.

If Lorne Michaels had gotten his way, Jennifer Aniston would have spent the nineties on a very different long-running NBC comedy. Aniston and her Just Go With It co-star Adam Sandler appeared on Oprah yesterday, and Sandler revealed that he had pushed a pre-fame Aniston to join the cast of Saturday Night Live, and even got her a meeting with Michaels. "I had this show Friends coming up," Aniston said, explaining her decision to reject the SNL offer. "They thought I was making a huge mistake." Hopefully Michaels didn't hold a grudge, though Aniston was the fifth Friends cast member eventually asked to host the show. (Yup, they even went to David Schwimmer first.)

Moment of stark terror when I thought the second Linkin Park song was gonna be a cover of "The Word" by the Junkyard Band.

was this funny? I dv-red it. although carvey was far from my favorite snl cast member, I personally really like and respect him so I hope it went well.
― akm, Sunday, 6 February 2011 15:24 (thirteen years ago) link
When I heard that Carvey was hosting, I groaned -- I liked him on SNL when I was a kid, but whenever I've seen him on talk shows since, he comes across as unattractively desperate to please. But I actually thought it was a pretty good episode.

was very bittersweet to hear the canned Phil Hartman intro to the Wayne's World sketch
― some dude, Monday, 7 February 2011 14:03 (thirteen years ago) link
It was a pretty solid early Depeche homage, too bad the sketch around it was pretty flat.

between this and Portlandia i think Armisen is starting to show he's got a higher batting average than Samberg w/ comedic songs
― some dude, Monday, 7 February 2011 15:42 (thirteen years ago) link
I don't know who their music director is or how they came up with it, but a few years ago remember the episode where somebody's at an italian restaurant and taking acid and they look at their pasta and the meatballs are new wave dancing to some synth pop? It was Heaven 17's cover of Are Everything by the Buzzcocks. Who's idea was that and how can I get their job?
― dan selzer, Monday, 7 February 2011 17:48 (thirteen years ago) link
It was probably Armisen's idea.
― polyphonic, Monday, 7 February 2011 17:52 (thirteen years ago) link
the opening where armison is in a record store bothers me cuz he's looking through records and the jam divider card is next to the sex pistols divider card
― pajamagram sam (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Monday, 7 February 2011 18:26 (thirteen years ago) link
if that store is filing "the" bands under "T" fuck them
It's Bleeker Bobs. They have everything mixed up by a loosely defined genre system. Like there's an industrial section and behind that is a Wax Trax section and behind that is a section called "Throbbing Gristle/Psychic TV/Coil/Chris & Cosey" etc. He was probably in the UK punk section.
― dan selzer, Monday, 7 February 2011 18:58 (thirteen years ago) link
ah ok. i was thinking some SNL staffer moved the cards around so there would be two "cool" bands together

Oh come on. Fwiw, I wasn't happy to see him host either, but yer schtick is wearing a bit thin tbh.
