Megan Fox hosted the season premiere and U2 played 3 songs. The last was "Ultraviolet (Light My Way)" which played over the closing credits. It was the best moment of the show, but unfortunately was cut just before the great chorus. The show was filled with other memorable moments, not least of which was new cast member Jenny Slate dropping the F-bomb during a biker chick skit. I can't decide if I should erase my DVR recording or not since it didn't play on the West Coast version of the show and this video has a short half-life on youtube . . . 
The other new cast member is Nasim Pedram who didn't make quite the impact. Those 2 ladies replaced Casey Wilson and Michaela Watkins. Abby Elliott stayed - probably some nepotism involved since she didn't really stand out from the 2 departed. Most of the skits were about Megan Fox's looks. My laugh out loud moment occurred during the SNL Digital Short which had Will Forte and Fox on a date. Forte's break down is hilarious. As always, the great Kristen Wiig owned the show both with new (the flight attendant) and recurring (Judy Grimes) characters. Weekend Update's best joke involved Jews and Palenstinians cohabiting Queens. See the available skits here.

I'm back and catching up on everything. This was a weak show - they seemed to be catering to Fox too much.
They had three months to write material and that's what they came up with? Weekend Update was the lone high point. U2 very marginal, except for Ultraviolet.
