a little while …

i can’t remember how long it’s been since i sat down and watched a full episode of saturday night live. closer to my heart a show never there was. but it’s become an hour and a half of dumbass skits with zero comic timing that have no idea how they should end … it’s the era of jimmy fallon-esque comedy, and if jimmy fallon were ever good at anything on that show it was making other people seem funnier by virtue of his inability to not laugh while they tore shit up on screen. the blue oyster cult parody being the greatest example of that. carrot top is funnier than jimmy fallon.
conclusion: the cast lacks good superstars.

what about hosting?
that’s gone to shit too. the current crop of hollywood performers have no idea how to carry a show the way the legendary hosts could. take alec baldwin: a guy with a movie career so prolific that i can’t even name a single fucking movie he’s been in, yet i can name at least 3 legendary skits he’s done as a host on snl (schweddy balls, canteen boy and bill brasky immediately come to mind).
conclusion: today’s episode was funny because of the host.

what about the music?
christina aguilera, though her voice was great and her performance equally so, looks fucking hideous; as if a HIStory era michael jackson, dee snyder hair-do and jack nicholson playing joker from batman 1 all got together and made a dwarf baby with big breasts.
tony bennett was on there too, doing his best not to look like rizzo the rat. he was funny when he wasn’t singing.
conclusion: christina aguilera is loud and tony bennett looks like rizzo the rat.

to wrap things up, those 4 pictures acting as the preface to this entry are totally unecessary.
