SNL - Neil Patrick Harris 1/10/09

There were 2 great moments from last night's episode, both involving songs. Neil Patrick Harris playing the Doogie Howser theme song on the keyboard (which ended with a hilarious crocodile tear) is not available online, so we'll have to settle for Will Forte's BCS song, which has moments of greatness before the predictable Bush-bashing. It begins after Seth Myers tells a couple of jokes, the best of which involves Michael Jackson.
The BCS is a disaster (Utah and Texas both deserve title consideration) and Forte's delivery is great. NPH was game the whole night, but the writing was otherwise lacking.

Maddow/Burris was pretty weak.

I thought the Broadway sketch was well written and funny.

Wiig was great (as usual) as Kathie Lee Gifford and Penelope.

I also liked the Lucille Austero cameo and Andy Samberg-as Mark Wahlberg: "Say hello to the cast of How I Met Your Mother for me, OK?".
