Saturday Night Live

Saturday Night Live knocked one out of the park last night. Part of it was related to the news this week (an Eliot Spitzer skit opened the show) and part of it was related to guest host Jonah Hill, who seems as good a fit to host as Alec Baldwin. Look for Jonah to host the show next year whether he has a movie out or not. I thought Hill was the weakest of the main 3 (5 including Bill Hader and Seth Rogen) in Superbad and appeared to be riding the coattails of close friend Rogen in Knocked Up. But he did well last night out on his own. Check out multiple skits here. My favorites included Six Year Old and the Andy’s Dad. The Spitzer, Really?!?, and Tracy Morgan skits are first-rate political commentary, too. Every skit was worth watching (though I fast forwarded through musical guest Mariah Carey’s 2 songs). Look for a rerun soon. A-

Agreed. Weekend Update was particularly great, and seemed to go on about 3 or 4 minutes longer than usual, which was a good thing.
Six Year Old was great, and it was all Jonah. Tracy is funny and I think they wanted to balance the show back after the perception was they were favoring Hillary.

The Spitzer sketch didn't have much to it and went on about 3 or 4 minutes too long, though.
