Saturday Night Live

As everyone else is saying: the skit would've been better if it was not just flatulence that ruined Grace Kelly's pristine image.

Imagine how funny it'd be if they had Grace, when the camera wasn't rolling, talking about how her own experiences with voyeurism help her get into character each day. She could start going into these lurid college stories and Hitchcock would have to stop her (as well as yank Jimmy Stewarts' hand from his pants).

And why stop at debasing Grace Kelly? The second the movie camera stops they should've had Jimmy Stewart telling off-color jokes and joking about wheel chair sex with Grace Kelly. Just hearing a Jimmy Stewart impersonator be vulgar would be worth a few chuckles.

Then you'd have the pompous Alfred Hitchcock being the voice of moral authority etc. As it is it's Grace Kelly farting while Alfred Hitchcock and Jimmy Stewart watch - which is a letdown.

Just hearing a Jimmy Stewart impersonator be vulgar would be worth a few chuckles.

dana carvey did this like 20 years ago, and your ideas are terrible

how about if grace kelly dropped a deuce into hitch's jowly mouth while stewart rubbed one out

would that be funny

I'd subscribe to their videos.

why not save time and post straight into the o_O thread

dana carvey did this like 20 years ago, and your ideas are terrible

Dana Carvey did everyone about twenty years ago, so that doesn't surprise me. My quickly thought-of suggestions probably are lame, but it's hard to convey the humor of farce in cold print.

I love all the SNL fanfic in this thread. Would the masturbating Jimmy Stewart sketch be intended as a part of the official SNL universe or is this a multiverse spin-off?

it's in one of the seasons never released on dvd

ok guys you got me, my mom was married and named Shipley in 1980

Well, look. If you do improv or write sketch stuff at all, you learn pretty quickly (even at a beginner level) that fart jokes and gay jokes are really easy and rarely good and are to be avoided as much as possible. This week's episode suggests that the SNL writers haven't quite reached that point in their comedy education.

ugh remember the Paul Rudd episode last year that felt like 80% gay jokes?

that is not shocking considering the general genre of paul rudd's humor

So the next three hosts are Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Derek Jeter, and Jon Bon Jovi.

I guess the last ten years just didn't happen or something...?

god that is an awful string there

How hard up are they for hosts?

man how do they waste the jon bovi sketch last week, they should do it when he's hosting imo

Oh, and Jake Gyllenhaal in there somewhere, too. My general point still stands.

I don't know why exactly, but that host list makes me really sad. Like seriously sad.

January Jones, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Jake Gyllenhaal, Derek Jeter, Jon Bon Jovi = point is that your first or last name has to start with a J in order to host

u r next

*exchanges knowing glances with Jon Williams*

man how do they waste the jon bovi sketch last week, they should do it when he's hosting imo

Hello this is SNL, they won't be afraid to continue beating that "joke" into the ground. Guarantee it will be on that episode.

forks?

Jake Gyllenhaal

His first time was classic for the "Law & Order Acting School" sketch alone.

I think JG-L should be pretty decent too. Granted, he was only a kid on 3rd Rock, but he could probably be a funny adult too.

Yeah. There's just no part of me that understands Bon Jovi or Jeter, though.

They are incredibly popular people who are charming and outgoing

If memory serves, this will be an encore performance for Jeter. I don't remember his first time being funny, though. In fact, I barely remember it at all.

Yeah, this is Jeter's second go-round.

First SNL host of the new year!:

I don't know about the other guys here but I send all my SNL Skit Remixes to Lorne Michaels when the season is over. Like any good remix they are supposed to make him think "what if?"

This show sucks

lol

Joseph Gordon-Leavitt is awesome and I bet he'll be a great host.

My inner-frat child wants to see a skit about "Angels in the Outfield."

My name begins with J if you spell it wrong.

2nd snl host of next year:

Jeter was decent for an athlete. But really, doing better than the likes of Michael Phelps or Tom Brady is saying much. I kind of wish they were going with A-Rod instead because it would be such a fantastic trainwreck.

D'oh, should be "isn't saying much".

Yeah, I surprised anyone is up in arms over January Jones considering that they'll even let athletes host this show.

the rock was a radical host as i recall

yeah, dude. He did it twice! Once as the Rock and once as Dwayne Whatever The Fuck His Real Name Is

sometimes the non-actors can be good if they just go for it and don't mind looking silly. i don't see jeter going this way though.

peyton manning was pretty funny

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L42C7wphzVY

peyton manning is funny in commercials too

iirc most of the athletes that host tend to bring in huge ratings no matter how bad they are -- wasn't Nancy Kerrigan one of their highest rated episodes ever? i can at least see the rationale for that more than getting the 3rd or 4th most famous person from an award winning but not massively popular cable drama.

If memory serves, this will be an encore performance for Jeter. I don't remember his first time being funny, though. In fact, I barely remember it at all.

derek jeter's taco hole was great

<3 peyton manning's comedy.

Part of the allure of athletes on the show is watching highly successful people fail, imo.
