Sorry I am always late. I just seem to be busy a lot lately.

1=hey that's funny stuff .5=i dunno, kinda got boring 0=oh
deary, that sucked

Foxworthy: Very clever idea. I bet I was like everyone else thinking "This
is a lot like Foxworthy." Then they went out and said. Good stuff.
1

Foul Balls: This monologue was so absurd and crazy that I almost died
laughing. It's not even that funny of an idea, but it was still great. I
liked the bat in the chest. 1

Preparation H: rerun, blah blah blah 1

Iglesias: I really enjoyed Jimmy's impression. Evev if the rest of the
sketch wasn't that creative, I still liked it thanks to Jimmy. 1

Baseball Wives: I think its cool they got all those baseball players to
dress up as women. It was kind of a cheap shot to make a sketch around a
man dressing as a woman, something done way too many times. I'll be lenient
though. 1

Massage: This was kind of weird and strange, but still funny. It all made
sense in the end, but I think it Kattan was really dreaming, he would've
done many more things with Jeter. 1

Dog Dissing: This was one of the show's highlights. I have to relate. I
feel like an idiot dissing my dog thinking it understands me. 1

Taco Hole: Eh? Kind of funny, nothing special though. .5

Baseball Kid: I liked this was funny. His special way to help the kid play
baseball was to smash the other kids with baseball bats. 1

WU: Not as good as a WU as others, but of course the bar is set much
higher. This would've been an A for past anchors, so I won't take off
credit. Seth Meyers seems to be getting comfortable doing WU bits. Is this
his 2nd? Seems like he has done more. 1

Osama: FINALLY! It's about time they did an Osama sketch. They waited too
long though. I think it would've more effective for the premiere or second
episode. The Harry Potter part was funny. 1

Perm: I think this is the type of sketch that is funny if you are close
with or you are Jeter. You put on a wig in front of your friends and it is
hilarious. Someone on TV does and the effect isn't as great. However, the
dialogue rescued this sketch though. "That's not a hair-do, that's a
hair-don't!" 1

Holiday: I had a feeling this would've been brought back again. In the
past I've expressed desire for Chris to leave, but now he has to sign a
contract to come back and hold the keyboard every X-Mas. I think this is
still funny even though it has been run into the ground (according to
others). The best part: the Tracy dance of course! 1

Handey: Suprise, suprise, this bit sucked again. 0/.5

Overall: I don't know if this season if funnier or its just that Molly
Shannon left or I am just easier on the show, but I this season has been
more successful than the previous (which was an improvement over 99-00).
Poor Jeff and Dean are still getting nothing, while Seth is emerging quite
well. Ana's airtime has been improving too. Well, that's it for now. Now
for the numbers....

Score: 12.5/13.5
