SNL - Will Ferrell - 5/16/09

After yet another lazy cheapshot at George W. Bush, Ferrell gave a terrible monologue. Things picked up with Lawrence Welk and Jeopardy skits. Both have been done better before, but were still pretty good here. A lame TNT basketball skit followed. Weekend Update was OK (with Will Ferrell being the best part). Then a funeral skit with lots of inappropriate speakers (done in another show at a wedding earlier this year). The last skit was best and had the entire cast singing Billy Joel's "Goodnight Saigon". I can't remember an SNL season finale ending so well (but it's not available online, of course). There were some strong hints that this was Darrell Hammond's last show and he did well. Also, coming up huge was Green Day with 2 pretty good songs ("Know Your Enemy" and "21 Guns") off of their new album (21st Century Breakdown). B
