Am I the only one who liked A Night at the Roxbury?
Gee. It’s not as if he’s Tim Kasurinsky, Charles Rocket, or Robert Downey Jr. Those were people who BLEW on SNL.
Evil is Doug and Wendy Whiner.
It makes everything Kattan did look Oscar™ caliber.
Man, he’s been in every skit so far tonight, I think. Last hurrah?
Tracy Morgan is hilarious in his Brian Fellows skit.
A parrot that can talk? Thats cwwrraazzy.
Nope, I’ve always thought he had a lot of talent as well, and I have enjoyed his work.
Liked it? You were the only one who saw it!
I will admit to having some small affection for A Night at the Roxbury. I’ve found SNL movies are great for weekend mornings when you want to watch TV but don’t want to think too hard over your morning coffee.
I’ll miss Chris Kattan, if only for his old Goth Talk sketches.
I wonder how funny Tracy Morgan would have been if they’d ever given him anything but Bryan Fellows and bit parts to do.
Goth Talk always cracked me up. The Prom of Doom with Steve Buscemi was CLASSIC.
He’s done some great characters in the show that will definitely be missed. Goth Talk is probably the best. I never really cared for the club gowers sketch, but I do like the way they kept consistancy going from when they had Martin Short on and his mustache fell off. The fact they made the waving of the fingers in front of their face a part of the bit was an interesting cover. Consistancy’s just something you don’t see much of in sketch comedy.
As for his movie carreer, although Corky Romano was shit, he did do an absolutely fantastic job in Monkey Bone and was the only real enjoyable actor in House on Haunted Hill, so I think given the right material, he can do very well. Of course, we’ve all seen what’s happened to Rob Shnider’s carreer after he left SNL, so who knows?
Unless I’m mistaken, they stopped doing the Goth sketches when Jim Breuer (who played “Azrael’s” brother) left the show.
I always thought Morgan wasn’t used enough. Brian Fellow, Astronaut Jones, Woodrow the homeless guy, Star Jones, and Fat Albert were all funny characters.
I for one am THRILLED to see him go: more than being untalented, he was simply BAD. He obviously had talent, but he was such a bad judge of what was funny and what was not. He was more obnoxious than funny. I will enjoy continuing to speak of him in the past tense.
Here’s a more direct link to the Andy Dick lyrics:
I’m really going to miss the sketch where he’s a third-(or fourth-) rate nightclub host. With the bad drummer and the various waitresses who walk by and look directly at the audience as they pass. I think those are completely hilarious.
The rest I can do without, though.
Kattan leaves…I yawn. He probably should have left much earlier. He seemed out of place, SNL-generation wise, for the past few seasons.
Tracey Morgan leaves…I celebrate! I wish him a very Kevin Nealon or Melanie Hudsell-like post-SNL career. Brian Fellows was cute as a one-off sketch, but it was the same damn sketch everytime, all built around a catchphrase and run into the ground. The Astronaut Jones theme song was cool but the skits were always the same, waiting for him to say something sleazy to the hot space chick of the week. I always found him a distracting ham, without being funny enough to justify it.
