That was most certainly Madonna. But I'll agree she looked way younger than she usually does. And that whoe Madge/Gaga thing was pretty lame.
Morbs, Downey has the ability, despite his political leanings, to tackle different sides of an issue. He's written a lot of GOP-skewering sketches, as well. If you could just re-read that post of mine real quick, you'll see that I didn't say that the sketch was written from a right-wing persepective. Rather, I'm guessing it was written by right-winger Downey because my understanding is that most political sketches that are critical of the Democrats are written by Downey.

I had no idea that Jim Downey was related to RDJ. Is that how RDJ ended up on Saturday Night Live in the first place?

...bu then, by current standards, that really doesn't make him sound like a right-winger.
I was at this radio interview, and they mostly talked about Fey's Sarah Palin:

Very possibly, Nicole. I mean, most of the cast that season consisted of semi-famous actors (RDJ, Anthony Michael Hall, Joan Cusack), but that would've been right after Downey returned to SNL, so it was probably a factor.

oh wow, that is kind of sad that it was really Madonna. My boyfriend & I were mesmerized by the "incredible makeup work" they'd done on what we presumed was an SNL actress but I agree, she's a bit too old to do something that ridiculous.. Good for her for looking so good though! I fell asleep on the couch before the ending credits, as I always do..this time I missed weekend update too though :(

Bill Hader as James Carville has become my new favorite thing of all time.
Also, I've grown to appreciate Gilly.

I have a lot more patience for SNL during its crap years than a lot of people, but god, this season has been horrific. I guess amy poehler had been holding this on her shoulders for a long time.
wiig has some comedic sense to her and I could like her in the right situation...but all of her characters make me want to turn off the tv.
― iatee, Sunday, 11 October 2009 07:14 (fourteen years ago) link
her *i am making faces and acting socially unaware* schtick works really well in 'adventureland' imo, and pretty infrequently on snl

that was the first funny carville sketch though xps
― alex b. skeaton (tremendoid), Sunday, 11 October 2009 07:35 (fourteen years ago) link
Not a fan of Wiig on SNL. At times she seems so redundant of improv comedy formulas for how to be funny or create a character. xpost
