Comparing Sudeikis to Piscopo is f'in weird.
Horrible Bosses made 200 mil ww. I don't think Joe Piscopo's combined filmography made that much money.

Okay, maybe Dana Carvey, then. And yes, I know there were extenuating circumstances for his career's nosedive, but still.
Again, I feel the need to point out that I like Sudeikis a lot and wish him the best, but if he's quitting SNL to pursue a film career, I'm not sure that he fully recognizes his own strengths/weaknesses. I think he'd do really well in an ensemble sitcom cast, though.

Yeah, they need to stop doing 'What Up With That?' full stop if he isn't around to contribute.

i wonder if the other lonely island guys will continue to write for the show if samberg leaves?

taccone already left a couple years ago and i kinda wonder if schaffer even does much besides the digital shorts. samberg has been seemingly doing more live sketches lately but half of them are practically overtly making fun of how shitty samberg's impressions are.

damn I was really hoping Sudeikis would get a full movie for his 'What Up With That?' character

Anyone else get the impression Drunk Uncle went on a little bit longer than scripted this time? Moynihan was in the zone.
― Johnny Fever, Monday, 9 April 2012 18:30 (twelve years ago) link
For the second time, when Drunk Uncle started I thought I'd hate it, but both times he killed it. "Is this wi-fi organic?" Was that the line? Something like that.
And Almost Pizza was SNL at it's best.
― dan selzer, Monday, 9 April 2012 18:35 (twelve years ago) link
Laughed out loud at almost pizza and drunk uncle. I'm such a hypocrite.
― pplains, Monday, 9 April 2012 18:39 (twelve years ago) link
Lotta consensus here. Weekend Update winds up being a high point of the show more often than not these days, thanks largely to Hader and Moynihan. Another sure-fire high point being whatever Killam's doing in a given week. His star is on the rise, for sure.
Looks like the Zooey Deschanel Show is the new sketch they're going to suck all of the laughs and charm from through endless reiteration. This one was fine, but Lorne's predictable writing is on the wall.

Kristen Wiig does a really good Drew Barrymore impression, but ruins it by not even resembling her in the slightest. Armisen looks more like Barack Obama than she does Drew Barrymore.

Didn't love new girl in the Bravo skit but thought she was great as Penelope Cruz trying to read the complicated words.

Jay Pharaoh should be doing shit like the school principal all the damn time and Will Smith and Jay-Z impressions very little of the time. Let the man breathe!
Moynihan's dancing during the Empire State of Mind sketch was great. Gotye seems like a chill bro. Loved the open with all the GOP hopefuls at the bar. Laser Cats 7. Josh Brolin was pretty great each time he was on screen, especially in the aforementioned high school dance sketch.
― Johnny Fever, Sunday, 15 April 2012 05:53 (twelve years ago) link
Californians was pretty amazing.
Seconding Jay Pharaoh expanding out. I will say that I thought his impressions tonight were more comedically heightened. Like he added little tics so it was less straight forward. I hope he doesn't get the boot.

I fell asleep after the second Gotye performance (btw that dude owns) but that stupid Empire State of Nind skit had no business being as funny as it was
Also loved The Californians and the slow hallway. Actually I really enjoyed most of what I saw.

You'll need to watch the final high school dance sketch on hulu or something. Even better than the last time they did it.

Uh, no. No, it wasn't.
And, yeah, she seems like she's gonna be pretty good for the show. She might make for a decent Wiig replacement. Lorne's probably gonna start trawling failed sketch shows for more performers like her and Killam.

Great show tonight. Eli was stiff, but was at least given funny things to do. Court room sketch had me laughing out loud.
Loved "What Is This?" and "Helga Lately" too. And Eli's "Little Brothers" bit was on par with Peyton's "United Way" thing from a few seasons ago.
― Johnny Fever, Sunday, 6 May 2012 05:23 (twelve years ago) link
I don't love Abby Elliott.
I thought it started strong but the last few skits were clunkers.
Was impressed with Eli. I usually get bummed when they have sportsfigures on, sometimes they're suprisingly great, but most of the time they're terrible. He was stiff, but he didn't constantly fuck up his lines and had some good moments.
― dan selzer, Sunday, 6 May 2012 07:06 (twelve years ago) link
Yeah, they definitely gave him some decent material and he was game and not distractingly stiff.
In the Cheech & Chong bit, the line "Let's just call NASA and explain what happened" cracked me up for some reason.

I watched for maybe the first time in months, since I was waiting for the cat to come back inside. Seemed OK. The court room sketch took forever to get going, for an erratic pay-off, but once it was just Eli making faces it was funny. Also, his big brother protection agency bit was good.
News sucked. Lots of "wait for it ..." pauses on Seth's part for laughs that never came, and the Dictator bit was a bust.
