Julia Stiles / Aerosmith
March 17, 2001


Opening Statements
Julia Stiles hmmm, never seen any of her work. I've heard of her work, but never seen it. Never really wanted to. I've heard some bad reviews about the Conan episode last week, but I liked it. I thought that it was some fresh comedy. I don't know for sure about Julia, but I guess I'll give her a chance. I also saw the previews for David Spade's new movie Joe Dirt, and it looks so funny, I have to see it.

Martha Stewart Opening
FINALLY, a non-President opening (major points for that). The joke that she said about the Irish and the penis "doublin" was great. The sketch sort of went downhill from there, but it was a relief to see a non-President sketch.
Grade: B

Monologue
She does look good, I'll tell you that. I am so glad that they are using Tracy to his full potential. When I saw him doing his little dance, I just cracked the F up. Tracy and Julia would make an okay couple, I think. I liked this opening.
Grade: A-

Homocil Commercial
We've seen it before, but the second time I saw it, was still as good as the first time.
Grade: A

Wake Up Wakefield
This started off kind of bad, but it did get better. I am starting to respect Rachel's acting ability. She really pulled off that character. Horatio's character was really funny too. Also, it is so cool how Jimmy can just come in and do nothing, and still be really really funny. This was definitely a bearable sketch.
Grade: B-

Black Ditz at the Post Office
What a horrible character. She is so annoying, in a bad way. The funny parts in this sketch, were when Chris Kattan imitated the black girl's laugh, and when Tracy was the security guard, but that was not enough to save this sketch. STOP DOING THESE!
Grade: C+

Aerosmith Performing Jaded
I never give grades to bands, but this is an exception. Aerosmith did and performed a great song. I have to give them a grade to help the episode. (THEY ROCKED) By the way, all their songs are good, anyway.
Grade: A+

 

 

Weekend Update
What was going on with the tech crew on the update tonight? I don't really know. Anyway, the Arnold impression was on the dot, and so funny. Darrell is really so talented. The David Copperfield trick was cool, and worth watching again, I would think. An okay, update.
Grade: A-

Chris Kattan as the Director Who Can't Talk
I LOVE this character so much. It is so hard to explain this character in words, but he is really funny. How he got action to sound like erection was classic. The best one of these that Chris did was in the Neve Campbell episode. This was the best sketch of the night for me, and I wonder why they didn't put it in earlier in the night.
Grade: A+

Two Maids at Work
Well, Will is on the show tonight. This was okay. Rachel's accent was funny, and that was about it. I don't like Maya at all, though. This again, was okay.
Grade: C

Doberman Short
This again, was okay. Too mediocre for me. It was the best digital short I've ever seen though, but that is not saying a lot. At least it made sense this time.
Grade: C+

Showtime At The Apollo
Julia shows back up again! Kidding. Tracy was good, and the black audience was funny, but nothing else in this sketch was.
Grade: C- (just barely escaped a D)

Eye Poppers Infomercial
WHAT THE HELL WAS THIS? This was so bad and so not funny, I can't even go into it, but I'll try. There were no jokes, and it was just a bunch of bad fake magic tricks. It sucked.
Grade: F

Aerosmith Performing
Again, a great performance. See my comments above!

German Nickelodeon Show
I like this kind of weird stuff. It was better than the last sketch. Horatio was good, and I like how they tied the whole thing in with Nickelodeon and stuff. It was pretty good. A little disturbing though.
Grade: B-

 

 

Happy St. Patrick's Day from Van Morrison and Guinness
Jimmy has so much talent, and he hasn't been on the show too much tonight. The way he was chugging those beers was so funny. A good way to end the show and St. Patrick's Day!
Grade: A

Closing Statements
Wow, I am surprised, it actually was a good show. Julia wasn't on it that much though. I am glad that the other members picked up the show. It looks like repeats for the next couple weeks, but Alec Baldwin is hosting next, so I like him a lot (Canteen Boy especially).
