EPISODE REVIEWS

Alec Baldwin / Luciano Pavarotti
December 12, 1998

[OPENING]Good opening, I'm just glad they didn't have Monica Lewinsky. A-

[MONOLAUGE]One of the best monolauges I've seen in awhile. John Goodman being a cast member in the future was the best. A

[NBA ON NBC]Reminds me too much of the commercial back in '94 with the baseball players on a cruise. C-

[MORNING LATTE]Is anybody else sick of this? D+

[CLOWN KATIE & CASSIDY]The best of the night. Best line was Abby needs satin sheets and silk pajams. A-

[TV FUNHOUSE]Kinda funny. Last year's was better. B

[10-10-1776-5-28-1830-242-3-316-68-22]It's about time somebody made fun of those commericials. A-

[SONG]A

[NEWS]Tonight, I have realized that after 1 year of not being good, Colin Quinn has finally gotten as good as Norm MacDonald's worst Weekend Update, but better than Kevin Nealon. Kwanzza Timmy was funny. Especially the song, with the backup singers. Do you wanna come Colin? YES!!!!! A

[THE DELICIOUS DISH]I can't believe people actually liked this. It was stupid and something Mad TV would do. Nice balls, I'll whip 'em out. That's not funny. TV Guide even liked it. C+

[IMPEACHMENT HEARINGS]Funny, but it gets old when they use the same character(even if it is the president) more than once in the same show. B+

[CHANAKAH HYMNS]This was supposed to be in the Vince Vaughn episode, but I wish they would have never had it at all. C

[BILL BRASKY]Gets better every time. A-

OVERALL-Alec Baldwin is one of the best host on SNL, but tonight just wasn't funny. Christmas shows are suppossed to be the best, but this one sucked. B-
