THEN THEY BROUGHT THE DAMNED THING BACK AGAIN… **TWICE!** I wonder how long before we see TIME TRAVELLIN’ SCOTT JOPLIN: THE MOVIE. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Sampiro \* > \*\*For that matter, has there been a QUEER EYE sketch? (Of course Carson is funnier than any member of the cast other than perhaps Tina Fey.) \*\* There was a QEftSG sketch when Elijah Wood hosted a few weeks ago. They made over Santa. It was absolutely horrible. The best part was when Jai (played by Elijah Wood) was practicing making eye contact with Santa, and Santa’s like, “Do you have any other advice for me?” and Jai’s like “Nope, that’s about all I do.” Saying that that’s the best part certainly ain’t saying much. I hate SNL these days. ---

Did anyone else notice how cold it was in the studio during Jennifer Aniston’s monologue?? ---

“Sanz/Fallon gigglefest”, that’s a good name for it. This has gotten so annoying I have to turn the channel when they come on. If anyone actually watches them in a skit and thinks “I wonder if they’ll be able to get through without laughing?” your an idiot. Of course they’ll start giggling! It’s their schtick! Even if it’s not funny they’ll start fake laughing to make it look like they can’t stop laughing. Pretty pathetic. ---

The scene with the non-Dean DEMS was pretty decent sharp. Hammond is always on with his impressions (Gephardt), but I also thought the guy playing Lieberman was pretty good. I probably haven’t watched since the 2000 election debacle so this was a severe let down. Will Farrell is sorely missed. He could make a bad sketch funny.
