Mena Suvari / Lenny Kravitz
January 20, 2001


Well the season is half over and so far it has been alright.
The only really bad shows were Lowe's, Green's and sadly Mena's.
She was great.But a beautiful person don't make it funny.

Read this week that MOLLY SHANNON is leaving SNL.And not in May,
but in Febuary.Sad to see her go.But SNL is in that phase again.
It has been five or six years of basically the same cast, but
now its time to bring in fresh blood.Hopefully Dratch will no
longer be a featured player.

10:30 p.m.

CLINTON'S LAST RIDE
Grade -A

Very funny.I hope they continue the rest of the season with political
openings. "I bought this off a guy for 1000 dollars." Sad to see Clinton
go.

MENA'S MONO
Grade -A
Will in a Spartan uniforn?Then you knew what was happening.The funniest part
was with Lorne."Nice."The show had promise here.

LOVE GATORADE
Grade B
I'd buy this.Not funny, but original.

LAST EPISODE OF JANET RENO'S DANCE PARTY
Grade B

"Just cool it!" I think they thought this sketch would get lot of laughs.
Kinda spoiled it, 'cause I read on this site that Reno herself
would guest star.Clinton again?I have a feeling we haven't saw the last of
him this season."Its RENO TIME!"

MOST LIKEY WILL BE RUDOLPH'S REACURRING CHARACTER
Grade -A
Mean and Mya were funny. "Dammit!" Funny when Mena said, "Thats Lenny
Kravitz." Or when Parnell gets taking away by Tracy and then that big black
guy is going to search him.

RAP STREET
Grade A

This sketch wouldn't have been as funny if it wasn't for Sanz's moustache
falling off all time. Mena was looked just like Arron Carter.
Which she said was scary, on Leno last night. I think theses guys are trying
to be the next Wayne's World. Then there was Jerry's flub:"On your
CBDS.Thats what they call them." "CBDs."

X PRESIDENTS
Grade +A

"Kiss Ass." I hope Clinton stays, 'cause it makes it even funnier. "You can
have sex with it and it has five holes." Just an allaround great production
of X Presidents.

WAKE UP SUSIE
Grade +B

Uuugh! "Shes in a comma." "If you love me, then you'll let your hand fall to
the bed when I let go." I wouldn't see this movie.

WEEKEND UPDATE WITH JIMMY AND THE SEXY TINA FEY
Grade A

Another medicore WU. What happend? They were good at the news before.
Sharpton and Jackson made this sketch! Wasn't funny as there first
appearence. Jerry's wig didn't look quite on. "Rollin, rollin, rollin."
"I did it all for the nookie.The nookie.So you can stick it up your.Stick it
up your." Then Darrell, "The nookie!Nookie!"

VERONICA & COMPANY
Grade +B

Even 'KevinAquaris'couldn't save this. Mena as a pre-teen model from Serbia
was the only funny thing.

DE MARCOS
Grade -A

Mena was just miss used in this one.Funny stuff.American Woman was actually
written by some Winnipeggers ~ The Guess Who. These sketches
are funny, but too predicatable. "Well they are amateurish." [i can't spell]

OVERALL SHOW RATING
Grade +B

Like other shows two great sketches, a good WU and then just ugh!
I've re done my ratings.

Lowe -B, Hudson -A, Cavey -A, Theron -A, Flockhart +A, Green C, Kilmer A,
Liu A, Sheen +B, Suravri -B.

NEXT WEEK - JENNIFER LOPEZ
IN THE FUTURE - CONAN

ROWDY 5000! KEEP IT SLEAZY!
