I do miss Casey Wilson, thought she had more potential than Elliott tbh.

it must be tough for Michaela who had a bit of traction and who had a recurring role as Hoda Kotb to see one of the other new girls take that role so effortlessly. Not that it was a bravura performance or anything, playing the straight man for Kristen' s Kathie Lee...

yeah for half the Obama sketch I was trying to figure out if the translator was Jenny or Nasim (and when she was funny I figured out it was the latter)
Al Gore's Update bit was pretty next level imo

to be honest i'm pretty tired of "wacky game show" as an SNL trope in general, it's right up there with "uncomfortable dinner party with one normal couple and one CRAZY couple" and "fake talk show" as played-out sketch boilerplates

this show is at the point where if someone was like "andy samberg is gonna write a show about fucking a black, male reba mcentire" i would be like "alright sure why not" & the sketch ended up being amazing - one of the first time samberg ever exceeded my expectations

i guess i should go outside and play in the wilderness, though, that would definitely help me memorize the faces of television personalities, for sure.

gotta admit that reba digital short had me rolling. saw the JGL monologue clip, gotta give it to him for sheer effort
― Nhex, Tuesday, 24 November 2009 00:21 (fourteen years ago) link
what really put that over the top for me was that Kenan's Reba impression was kinda spot-on. i didn't even see the 'twist' coming since the Lonely Island album has E-40 playing Carlos Santana on a track, I thought it was just gonna be like that.
JGL's voice sounded weird all night to me, it occurred to me that the only grown up roles I've seen him in (Brick and The Lookout) was doing these mannered monotone voices and even when he wasn't doing some character on SNL I was like wait is that what he actually sounds like or what?

What's crazy is that he didn't get into comedy at all until he was in his mid-30s. Just played drums before that.

finally watched the JGL episode, and dude sang in EVERY sketch he appeared in before Weekend Update (monologue, password, jack johnson show, t-giving dinner, what's up with that?). was he just singing at the offices all week and they decided to use it?

He sang "Make 'Em Laugh," from Singin' in the Rain. But yeah, I think NBC strips out for Hulu any musical performance for which they'd have to pay additional royalties.
