OK, Tim Robinson is also in Cook Co. Social Club at iO? Weird that I don't recognize him at all ... though I don't think I ever seen CCSC perform with all five members.

sounds about right. probably a better use for him than having him to denzel once a month.

If anything, this means less Fred Armisen. I really liked that guy once upon a time, but it seems like he's in every sketch.
― Johnny Fever, Wednesday, 12 September 2012 22:49 (eleven years ago) link
well lorne did call him "the backbone" of the show, so

The thinking was probably along the lines of, "Obama's likely to be in office for another four years, Armisen's unlikely to stick around that long, we need to give Pharaoh a reason to be on the show, this seems like a decent time to make the switch."

Taran Killam will likely take on the part of Romney running mate Paul Ryan.
I just assumed that would go to Hader, but Taran Killam? Speaking as one doughy guy to another, you're too doughy to play Paul Ryan.
― Johnny Fever, Thursday, 13 September 2012 05:28 (eleven years ago) link
yeah seriously -- Hader would be a good call
― some dude, Thursday, 13 September 2012 10:43 (eleven years ago) link
already said it upthread, but they shouldn't have gotten rid of Paul Brittain as long as Ryan could have made VPhttp://i47.tinypic.com/302p1t1.jpg

not crazy about Sudeikis's Mitt Romney but glad that will keep him on the show for at least half the season
― some dude, Thursday, 13 September 2012 11:26 (eleven years ago) link
I love his Romney. He gets at the the utter lack of empathy thing pretty well. I just think they haven't learned to write Romney in an interesting way yet.
― Clay, Thursday, 13 September 2012 23:13 (eleven years ago) link
yeah that's probably true. there's so much more fuel for jokes now, i could see him pulling off some great Romney sketches this fall.

his biden > his romney

anyway, jay is kinda good as obama! i'm sorta impressed
i mean i know he's solely an impressionist but so much better than armisen
hes better than i thought hed be but i def still prefer armisten

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'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

Hiddleston has a lot of batshit fans on twitter and tumblr, so either option could be a possibility.

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
