COLD OPENING:
-Well, I had a feeling this week would have a CP impression of
Bush during cold opening, but this was really bad. I mean, I
think Chris should definately work more on this impression than
anything else. Either that, or get someone else to do it, because
its not even funny. I hate to say it, because CP is supposed
to be one of the nicest guys on SNL, but his impression of Bush
doesn't really do it for me. Its like a watered down version
of Ferrell's. Well, hopefully he'll get the hang of it, sooner
or later..

MONOLOGUE: JENNIFER GARNER
Wow. Jennifer Garner is really
hot. Yeah, this wasn't too bad. At first I thought it was gonna
be a "Bachlorette" spoof, but i'm glad it wasn't. Tracy
was hilarious.
B
Clappin'
-It was good. Fred and Will's expressions were so serious, it
was really funny. I liked it.
B
Date with a Two-Face
Wow. I thought this was hilarious.
I mean one of the best of the seasons. It reminded me A LOT of
a certain Seinfeld episode, because the same joke was played,
but thats a good thing. The best thing about this skit was that
they didn't drag it out. It seemed short and to the point and
a good, solid ending.
A-
Wake Up Wakefield-
I'm glad they decided to change the format of the show. It made
it more interesting. This in my opinion, is Rachel's best character.
If it wasn't for Sheldon, this skit would pretty much suck, also
Horatio's Mr. Banglian stole the show and was really good in
it. Jennifer Garner was also good as the hyper gymnist friend
of Megans.
B+
Saddam and Bin Laden-
This had some funny parts, but wasn't the best. I enjoy Horatio's
impression of Saddam a lot better than Darrell's. A lot of it
seemed to be improvised, but i'm not 100% sure about that, it
just seemed like they were making stuff up, but I doubt it.
Pretty good skit. C+
Soap Opera with a Gay Dude..
-Pretty funny on a second viewing. On an interview I once heard
Kattan say : "I dont know why everyone thinks i'm gay.."
Well, this and Mango and Gay Hitler might be the reasons..hmmm.
But yeah, it was pretty funny.
B-
TWINS
-Hilarious. Jennifer looked really hot with Blonde Hair, which
made Rachel Dratch look 1000 times worse even with the fake teeth
and baby doll arm. Kattan was great as the guy stuck with the
ugly twin. I really liked this skit. Very good.
A-
WEEKEND UPDATE:
-I LOVED the Atari Joke and the Smart Bra jokes. Those were highlights.
Jeff's Burt Bacharach was great also. Tracy's bit was funny and
Chris Parnell's bit was so predictable and I know he's a good
rapper, but its getting kinda old. I loved his rap during the
Kristen Dunst episode (SOmething about killing clowns was kinda
funny, I remember..) but this one wasn't as good. Oh well..
B-
BECK: Beck Rules. His style is
really cool and most of his songs are good. I liked "Lost
Cause", but I wasn't too keen on the other song, it was
alright, but kinda dull.
Michael Jackson's Tree.
I was VERY surprised we didn't see Dean playing MJ, instead it
was Amy, who was good. For some reason, I LOVE when they use
those miniatures, its so corny and cheesy, its awesome. This
skit could have been more insane and Dean does a great impression
of Michael Jackson..
C+
Wal-Mart
-Very bad. Not much else to add here..
D
JACK HANDEY'S: Big Thick Novel
-Same as above.
D
OVERALL SHOW RATING: B+
-I really enjoyed the show. I thought there were some hits and
some misses, but most of all, it was a good show. I think Chris
Parnell should either quit doing the Bush impression and give
someone else a try or practice more. Jennifer Garner was a great
host, very cute and a very good actress. Beck was a good Musical
Guest.
Best Sketch of the Night: Tie:
