i'm sorta confused about this "sex over 50 sketch"... are we supposed to pretend that we don't remember when this skit was about pubescent kids or what?

Yeah, NBC buys any url they use on the air. Conan used to have fun with that.

That's part of the thing with that sketch, they've done it a bunch of times now and each time its the set of a different talk show. Doesn't really make it any funnier, just sayin'.

I hate Seth MacFarlane but I thought he did a pretty good job.

I'm tentatively calling bullshit on Hiddleston. I can't find any news about it anywhere, and his name in particular was jokingly mentioned in some article about the hosts we were likely to end up with when Lorne started soliciting suggestions from the audience. But then again, maybe this is the power of the people at work!

also they haven't had a chance to do any avengers impersonations yet so
just now watched the opening Obama/Romney sketch, good stuff
― wtf where's my chapbook (DJP), Monday, 17 September 2012 12:19 (eleven years ago) link
Hiddleston has a lot of batshit fans on twitter and tumblr, so either option could be a possibility.
― controversial cabaret roommate (Nicole), Monday, 17 September 2012 12:24 (eleven years ago) link
pharoah's obama wasn't bad but understandably tentative. i just hope he gets more comfortable with the role before the debate sketches - you can't have romney being more smooth than obama

A little inside baseball here, but it made me really happy to see Vanessa Bayer working with puppets again (as she used to be a performer for iO's hilarious improv puppet show, Felt). And that sketch was the highlight of the night, imo.
I was also pleasantly surprised with MacFarlane. Especially since his monologue seemed like a harbinger of intolerable punchability.

no joke, this was one of the main stories of the Olympics in the US

Don't know shit about Loki, prefer to think of him as the guy from The Deep Blue Sea (not the idiot shark movie) and War Horse.
I guess we are in our last months of Michael Shannon being anything but General Zod? Fuck eternal teenagerdom.

It's not like there isn't precedent. Who can even remember the name of that dude who played Lex Luthor in the '70s Superman films?!

not really comparable stages of their careers, bro. So Old Lunch is the really unfunny ex-improv guy from the comedy film poll?

It would make more sense for Shannon to play Non.

for some reason i remembered that one week they had nancy kerrigan hosting. when's the most recent example of this kind of thing?(blatant ratings stunt grab)
― Philip Nunez, Monday, 17 September 2012 19:52 (eleven years ago) link
i suppose one could make an argument for lindsay lohan last year, though she hosted in happier times as well

Betty White? Michael Phelps?
And yes, Morbs, one and the same. I'm working on a silent film, though, so maybe you'll come around to my comedic stylings.
― Old Lunch, Monday, 17 September 2012 19:57 (eleven years ago) link
the problem with saying which hosts are "rating stunts grab" is that they rarely pick hosts they don't HOPE will bring some ratings - i mean does eli manning count?
