Preshow thoughts: I'm not expecting much from this episode; I mean,
Derek Jeter's a baseball player, not a comedian. I'm not saying you
gotta be a comedian to act, but still...

OPENING: Ashcroft and Bush
This wasn't such a bad opening. Darrell and Will are always the best at
opening the show. The whole, "you should look into the chance of being a
terrorist," was pretty funny
A-

MONOLOGUE
This wasn't too funny. Jeter could have done a little better. But it was
ok.
B-

PREPARATION H
This was in the Reese Witherspoon episode but it was still funny enough
for a few laughs. Jimmy, Chris, Dean, Seth, and Jeff was a good group of
guys for this sketch. Jimmy was great in it.
"I got to get my H on." Jimmy
A-

IGLESIAS BROTHERS
This was hilarious. The whole older brother with the irregular mole
thing was funny, but Jeter didn't do too good at it. But Jimmy and Chris
made up for it. This again shows that Jimmy is amazing at impressions
(loved the mole!), and Chris was just weird and funny at the same time
with the hair.
A-

YANKEES' WIVES
This wasn't the best it could have been. Jeter wasn't very convincing as
a woman, but hey, at least it looked like he was trying. It was just the
hair; what was with the hair?! Whatever. Amy Poehler was great in this
sketch with all her bickering 'bout the other women going after their
husbands. I would have liked to seen her take down one of the women.
"Derek Jeter is what would happen if the Rock had sex with a muppet."
Jeter
B

NEXT WEEK
Why did the announcer dude say Ralph Jackman instead of Hugh Jackman? Am
I the only one that noticed? He was pretty good in X-Men; not too
excited back Mick Jagger, not a big fan.

THE MASSAGE
This sketch was planned to be in the Sean William Scott episode, but
they canceled it (I saw it at the dress rehearsal). I guess you could
say it was funnier with Derek Jeter in it, just because Chris had the
chance of climbing all over him. The whole thing about Chris saying one
of 'em was gonna get naked in a few minutes was pretty funny. Oh, and
Chris singing to the Enya music was great.

DISSING YOUR DOG
This sketch was great. Will's great at portraying parts like that. The
insults to the dogs were great.
"I've locked them in closets for days on end and beat them with no
mercy" ferrell
A-

DEREK JETER'S TACO HOLE
I loved the song!! Haha. The costumes were disturbing though. Horatio
was great in it, but Jeter just made it BORING. With someone else in
that slot, it would have been a whole lot more interesting.
"We're of the top five mexican resturants in all of northern New Jersey"
B

DEALING WITH MOM AND DAD
This was the exact portrait of those family sitcoms. You know those
stupid ones, except SNL made it 100 times funnier. They always have
those kinds of problems where the kid can't play some kind of sport and
he's getting made fun of. Amy Poehler did the exact portrayal of the
bratty little sister with the clever mind. I liked the beating of Jimmy
and Jeff with no mercy...
"If I was fifteen I would so have sex with you!"
B+

SHAKIRA
I don't hate her although I hate people like britney spears. She's the
best out of those pop (latin, whatever) princesses. What's impressive is
that she produced her whole album, while britney spears can't even
bother to write a whole song
B

WEEKEND UPDATE
Naked weather was funny and "Sorry we yelled at you for touching stuff
Jimmy Fallon" was great. Can I just say Jimmy Fallon is the best? I am
such a big fan. HE ROCKS!! Tina Fey is great too. Her Pee-Wee and
masturbation
story was great, and Jimmy's response "Very little, if so ever" was
funny. Seth Meyers is great, i was cracking up... "YOU SUCK!!" "Will
come play for Boston?"
"Derek Jeter sucks in 3 very specific ways. So hard, so bad, and wicked
bad."
A+

OSAMA'S PEP TALK
Just seeing them all dressed up made me laugh. Will wuz a great Osama
and how they were throwing around the conversation about how Osama was
worth 25 million (American) dollars. "No, it's 25 million dollars!!
C'mon, don't sell my man bin Laden short!!" The fight about how Batman
lived in a mansion about a cave was hilarious. "I know the show, I'm not
stupid!"
A-

MAN PERM
This shows Derek Jeter isn't a very good actor. The whole thing about
the "dream hair" could have been done better by someone else... anyone
else! Ana Gasteyer did really well with "saving" the sketch. She saved
the whole story line cuz it really wuzn't the most exciting out of all
the sketches.
B-

BUBBA SPARXXX
Ugh, I'm not a big fan.
F

MUSICAL GUYS
This was the best!! These guys rock!! That's all I can say, it was just
as good as last year's.
A

OVERALL
This was definetly one of those down hill episodes. Derek Jeter can't
act, but the cast saved the show.
