(host) makes many quick changes during one-man show about Charles Dickens, Yet another sketch with an inherently silly vibe that works for me. A hilarious look and voice from Jon as a boy band manager. I absolutely LOVE this absurd, random setting of Neil Diamond and Bigfoot advertising a duet album of theirs. an idiot spacewoman in chapter 1234. STARS: ***, MUSIC INTERNATIONAL STARS: *, MY BIG THICK NOVEL BY JACK HANDEY
Terrible ending. host does stand-up about late-night wars, NYC, gay rights, sexuality, I like how Jon Stewart immediately addresses the Letterman/ABC rumors and if Jon himself will be willing to take any of the open talk show spots at CBS or ABC, which Jon answers here by desperately saying Yes, I would, and goes on about how he would gladly replace ANYONE whos willing to leave. Okay, I do like Lorne and Senator Moynihan both saying Bear got boobies! when seeing the Anatominals on the TV monitor. Thankfully, we have Ian now making an entrance, and we know hes gonna give this a boost. Not gonna happen? Interesting how that line takes place in what ends up being the final regular Culps installment. WILLS FINAL SHOW A solid Jimmy Carter voice from Darrell, and his make-up and facial expressions are amusing me. No idea what to say about Chris overall VERY random Amelie segment. "He literally crawls across the room to attack my mouth if I'm eating. without one of Flendersons huge bows, a gift car is sure to disappoint, Seth, to Amy, regarding the new car she got him as a gift: It doesnt have one of those huge oversized bows on it so I hate it. Ha, a Beavis and Butthead cameo! Interesting gimmick with Jonny making his entrance onto the front of the stage via ski ramp. (Come to think of it, the Brittany Murphy episode also contains two other recurring sketches from tonights episode: Jarrets Room and Astronaut Jones, though regarding the former, Tom Davis obviously has nothing to do with the writing of those, and I certainly cant see him writing the latter, either.) Even just the odd way Tracy pronounced genitals is hilarious in itself. a fairly big step up. A hilarious portion of the sketch with Seth as an average joe testifying how violated he was by finding out that pictures he masturbated to were NOT of Anna Kournikova. I looked like a cross between that chick from the Indigo Girls and the other chick from the Indigo Girls. TOMORROW
I like the mentions of the various famous dolls and action figures who are going to be at the party that Skipper wants to go to. Hmm, figures that tonights usually-dead audience would actually chuckle at this Kattan crap. A lot of odd and interesting things have been going on with the cast lately, between Will Ferrell having to miss certain weeks due to his movie schedule, Darrell Hammond missing this week due to rehab, Ana Gasteyer being pregnant while still an active cast member, and the rehiring of Parnell, plus you could add in Don Pardos absence tonight too. ", Another report from September 2011 concluded "Education should include advice to avoid premastication and to seek health advice for oral conditions in the caregiver and child. Hilarious part with the bear following orders to kill Ana, but doing so by unexpectedly picking up a gun and shooting her. Even in her second appearance, Drunk Girl already has a way-too-recognizable pattern of bits that she follows every time in the exact same order. I think the only future example that would compare to the huge deal SNLs making about Wills departure is Kristen Wiigs farewell piece 10 years later. At this point, I dont know whether to roll my eyes at that or just feel sorry for Kattan for getting so typecast and making the already-long-existing gay rumors about himself grow. domesticated Ozzy Osbourne (HOS) is only intelligible while singing, After we got a sample of Horatios imitation of Ozzy Osbornes singing in the Just Enjoy The Ozzy sketch from season 24, we get the debut of Horatio actually playing Ozzy himself in a regular SNL episode, that is.
Bloater brothers dad (host) comes to rescue them from airport security, The Bloater Brothers make their first appearance since Parnells return to the cast, and they are welcomed warmly byyyyyyyy. Otherwise, this sketch is washing right over me. Like the previous sketch featuring this character, Amber is getting laughs from me with her bragging about undesirable things about herself. However, Jimmy following up Does this mean Im knighted? with Or did I get queened? was an actual ad-lib. ), this had a solid quality to it, and a few great standout sketches. Funny ending visual of Letterman and Koppel tenderly slow-dancing together. Boy, if Kattan doesnt see that as enough of a sign that its beyond time for him to FINALLY get the heck off of this show I like Parnells puzzled delivery of his ending line Is there someone else I can talk to? while looking around. And the Hilton Sisters segment is now already over, with no semblance of a premise to be found anywhere. I particularly like the silent, obedient way Rock nods his head when Brian Fellow asks him if he saw that loudmouth bird. A very funny line with Amys rumor about how Kirsten once put a frozen hot dog in her nooners. Come to think of it, its been a good while since she last had a rant that was up to the same standard of her best rants. Boy, Eminems delivery here is terrible.
2022 CBS Broadcasting Inc. All Rights Reserved. Aaaaaand theres our unnecessary Ow, my back ending that these Luvahs sketches traditionally end with. Jacks distinct delivery of the words elvin cloak in that Luvahs-esque voice was great. Funny visual of Ana chomping into a huge hoagie when she thinks shes off-camera. (Actually, Im not 100% sure about Rachel. I like Parnells laid-back performance as a celebrity scandal expert. (host)s gothic rock opera serves as a Happy Birthday Song alternative. IMMEDIATE POST-SHOW THOUGHTS STARS: ***, TALES OF VALOUR STARS: ***, MUSICAL PERFORMANCE
Im guessing there was an audio glitch and we werent supposed to hear what Amy, Rachel, and Parnell were really yelling under the bleeping, and Amy apparently wasnt aware that her yells of MOTHERFUCKER! were going out on the air. The Mormons telling Amy Good luck in hell as their parting message when Amy lets them know she doesnt want to be a Mormon is pretty funny. LAMAZE CLASS Geez, what the hell is going ON??? socialites Nicky (host) & Paris (MAR) Hilton visit Weekend Update, in a terrible re-enactment, Queen Elizabeth (CHK) sees a streaker (CHK), CHP performs a rap about his gangsta life & relationship with host, I see that, after experimenting with many different hairstyles this season, Jimmy has returned to the trademark hairstyle he had in his first three seasons. He will gangbang us! You know, its too bad the dance portions of this sketch are so painfully unfunny and unwatchable, and Eminems delivery is so terrible and sluggish, because there is some good dialogue among the DeMarcos here. Wow, two Darrell Hammond impressions in one sketch, with both impressions being performed live. Ehh, after the initial laughs from the aforementioned Mormon interruption, this doesnt seem to have anywhere else to go, though its still passable enough. Very sweet ending between Will and Tracy. And at least its a break from all the endless Ferrell/Hammond LFNYs weve been getting lately. Youd figure theyd have Will deliver a solo LFNY for his final episode.
Ha, now Bigfoot is singing beautifully. a big step up, PRESIDENTIAL ADDRESS The first time that happened was the Christopher Walken episode from season 21 (as seen towards the end of my review here). Funny bit with Jack playing back an audio tape that he secretly recorded of the mayor, only for it to turn out to be a tape of the conversation that Jack literally just had with his stoner friends when setting up his playing of the tape. A solid inclusion of Kyle Gass towards the end. Oof. Seems to be quite a lot of unexplained breaking throughout tonights episode. host performs Im Not A Girl, Not Yet A Woman, WEEKEND UPDATE Maya continues to kill in this sketch, with yet another great line, in which she tells one-legged Amber Shut up, pogo stick! STARS: ***, ON THE SUBWAY years of his SNL tenure, his relevancy on the show sadly drops off more and more with each passing season, and he gradually comes off more and more unenthusiastic in his performances, to the degree that I remember sometimes actually being kinda bothered watching this man who visibly didnt seem to give a shit anymore about being on SNL.
TIF gives her thoughts on the absurdly awful Enron scandal, shy & adorable Amelie (CHK) visits Weekend Update, I Have An Opinion- JIF thinks Camp X-Ray living conditions are just fine, Tenacious D performs Hornets Nest to comment on world politics, Tinas long-winded Enron rant, while having a few dead spots, was okay as a whole, but wasnt as strong as her usual rants. When NBC would rerun this episode a few months later, the ending of this sketch would still get cut off prematurely (though it lasts a little longer than it does in the live airing), but that may be because right before the goodnights, that rerun inserts a tribute to former SNL director Dave Wilson, who had recently passed away. Saturday Night Live's "I Drink Your Milkshake" seems to have been an excuse for Bill Hader to do his impression but on that front, it was totally worth it. TOMORROW Him playing women has become about as tired as him playing gay roles all the time lately. A laugh from the title of Geminis Twins movie: Damn, My Dixies On Fire. a very slight step up, My full set of screencaps for this episode is here, TOMORROW Skipper, to Barbie, after being told her father is a Han Solo action figure: Hes not even our scale! Alec Baldwin. STARS: ***, HOT AIR BALLOON MYSTERY THEATER
So many hilarious lines from Tracy dishing dirt on Will, despite 30% of Tracys dialogue here being an unintelligible garblefest. Lynn & Margaret Jo learn of (host)s Irish dishes ties to dead relatives, Theyre STILL doing the post-Molly Shannon era of these Delicious Dish sketches? Some pretty good laughs from how the color coding choices for the terror alerts are all variations of white. Funny part with Kirstens character explaining she used to go out with Bob Saget, spoofing Alanis Morissettes relationship with Dave Coulier. Maya delivers her very first Live from New York. Some SNL fans have had a theory that the (male) Assface character is actually played by a woman, perhaps Tina or Maya, due to Assfaces body supposedly looking somewhat feminine under that outfit when hes dancing. David Spade voice cameo! (host) is perplexed that he sounds gay on his voicemail greeting, I admit to getting a laugh from the first lispy-sounding voicemail, though Im aware of the direction this sketch is going. I like Jimmy and Tinas random-but-funny Oh, snap! During his spiel right now, Will seems to be intentionally milking his characters usually odd inflections of syllables in some words, with the way hes now saying Su-BAH-ru and tow-TRUCK. (And no, Kattans unfortunately not leaving with Will. That really takes me back to the Nintendo-playing days of my childhood. After Chris comically bad dancing demonstration, I actually got an unintentional bigger laugh from Britneys attempt to show Chris how its done. I love all of Rachels flustered reactions to Tracy. Tracy, after Britneys speech ends: Well, why dont you jump outta that green jumpsuit and show me that fat ass?! Priceless ending with Brian Fellow growling Im gonna kill that motherf when getting up to run after the parrot. I love Anas accent as Wills wife, as well as the unexplained detail of her wearing a neck brace. This is a riot. rabbit & donkey dont cut their own hair, After making its debut in the 10-to-1 slot several seasons prior, Brian Fellows Safari Planet has slowly made its way to the big post-monologue slot, where it would stay for most (if not all) of its subsequent installments during Tracys SNL tenure. STARS: ****, UNCLE MIKE & UNCLE DANNY Steve Higgins can be heard stifling laughter during his ending voice-over. Dean Edwards with a LEAD ROLE??? I really hope THIS isnt the sketch he guest wrote, but I think it is, as Tom is also credited as a guest writer in the following seasons Brittany Murphy episode, which just so happens to contain another Leather Man sketch. STARS: ****, DEMILON Dr. Who impersonator (host), ANOTHER talk show sketch tonight hosted by Horatio? After Sharon, Kelly, and Jack walk off after the aforementioned bleeped-out shoutfest between them, I love the camera panning over to Horatios Ozzy silently staring at the camera with a deadpan look on his face. STARS: ****, THE CARDINALS [ADDENDUM: According to commenter Matt Vandermast, this was actually written by Paula Pell, though Tina helped advocate for it.] international critics misjudge edenic Camp X-Ray, says Dick Cheney (DAH), The premise of Camp X-Ray being glowingly advertised in the style of a tourism commercial is pretty funny, and the execution is okay, though nothing special. Jons doing an accurate imitation of the Bloater Brothers. Good understated frustration from Maya and Kattans actor characters, who are trying to keep the scene going despite the background antics.
musical guest performs I Get Wet, A MESSAGE FROM SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE Bill Hader made his SNL debut in 2005 and while he had a regular habit of corpsing during sketches - especially as his most popular character Stefon - he was still one of the bestcast members to emerge from the show. Tracys one-word utterances in between each sentence of Britneys long speech are hilarious. Ugh, our inevitable post-Parnells-rehiring return of these insufferable DeMarco Brothers. Pope John Paul II (host) summons The Cardinals for a chastening, A pretty fun badass intro sequence with various crime-fighting cardinals.
Very funny line from Wills Dick Armey about taking over West Bank and naming it America 2 and using it for storage. Funny reveal that Jack is Chris stepfather. The first two or so minutes of these Jarrets Room sketches are always kind of a write-off, as they just feature Horatio and Jimmy hamming it up, mugging straight into the camera, and cracking each other up (in other words, the usual nonsense whenever those two performers are paired together). Pretty funny use of the old Spider-Man theme song when an upside-down Horatio in a Spider-Man costume makes his entrance. The tense silence among the party when its announced that David Letterman is outside the door is hilarious, as is Darrells Ted Koppel dramatically saying a bold Let im in. But now, actress Alicia Silverstone has released a video that may make people wonder if she's really clueless when it comes to feeding her children. an odd Mel Gibson (host) film, A funny hybrid of two completely different Mel Gibson movies. Arthur Andersen now offers shady accounting to individual taxpayers, A good laugh from Rachels foreign cleaning lady asking Que? with a clueless big smile on her face. STARS: ***, THE DELICIOUS DISH The audience is pretty quiet throughout this sketch. Wow, TWO lead roles for Dean tonight? His voice does sound slightly more frail than usual here. childless TIF, RAD, AMP, MAR are sick of biological clock reminders, Neil Diamond (WIF) & friends sing Cherry, Cherry; Neil Diamond cameo, Jimmys Luciano Pavarotti joke received a very bizarre-sounding laugh from a male audience member, which Tina physically acknowledged by shooting a funny look towards that audience members direction. I certainly hope tonights installment is better than the underwhelming one from earlier this season. in a terrible re-enactment, John McEnroe (CHK) reacts to cancellation, host almost gets his chance to be an anchor on network television, Drunk Girl sloppily relates Spring Break safety tips to TIF, Man, these Terrible Reenactment bits of Kattans, which I found funny the first 1 or 2 times they appeared, need to freakin STOP. At least SNLs showing some continuity, with Darrells Geraldo making a passing mention of his Tour of Terror, a reference to something established in the last Weekend Update commentary that Darrells Geraldo did. Very funny visual of Jeff being impaled with a ski pole. Good premise of Jack as an investigative reporter for High Times magazine, complete with his own opening title sequence. Overall, such a great sketch. musical guest performs Sweetness, MY BIG THICK NOVEL BY JACK HANDEY Akira Yoshimura! During the long, bleeped-out argument between Sharon, Kelly, and Jack Osborne (the latter two played by Rachel and Parnell, respectively), audio of Amy, Rachel, and Parnells actual yelling can be heard under the bleeping. Very interesting and bold how Parnell is openly addressing his firing and eventual rehiring, and how Will made that rehiring happen. George W. Bush (WIF) tries to trump suicide bombers martyrdom rewards, Pretty funny turn with Will-as-President-Bushs sex chatline infomercial-esque offer to suicide bombers. Some good details in the oddities of Jons genetically-engineered boy band members, such as the member played by Dean being named Chadddd, the member played by Parnell being allergic to light. Reminds me so much of how online SNL boards always heavily speculate which cast members may possibly be leaving whenever we head towards the end of a season. I like how the HBO First Look format is changing up a lot of things in the Geminis Twin formula. A funny twist on Jimmy and Tinas Oh, snap! Goddammit, I thought the only Jared Fogel SNL cameo I ever had to worry about covering is in the Michael Phelps episode from much later in this decade. Odd how this is the third sketch lately that was one cast member short of being a full-cast sketch. Something else that unintentionally makes that line of Tracys even funnier is the aforementioned fact that Dean replaced Tracy as Boyd Tinsley in the live version of the Celebrity Jeopardy sketch earlier tonight. Im getting my usual amusement from the Luvahs here, though theres nothing new so far. What do you make of the practice of pre-chewing food for toddlers? Will was also probably eager to be there this week for a certain rehired cast members first week back (more on that in a little while), especially considering that Will (along with Kattan) played a crucial part in said cast members rehiring. As usual in Fun With Real Audio, a lot of pretty funny little actions happening all throughout this in rapid succession. I think Im in the very small minority in loving this dumb, silly sketch, as I remember a lot of my fellow SNL reviewers back in 2002 dismissing this sketch as a real dud. An overall pretty funny Jasper Hahn commentary, ignoring Horatios usual obnoxious attempts to crack Jimmy and himself up. Heh, why did Ian completely lose his fake Turkish accent during his rant to Darrell just now? A good laugh from Amy handing The Rock a tree branch as a stick that she peed on to see if shes pregnant or not. musical guest performs Cant Get You Out Of My Head, WEEKEND UPDATE Damn, that was a good, long tender song from Horatio just now. (*groan*) Kattan playing yet another woman. Ana is reduced to a much smaller role here than the rest of the female cast, but thats probably because of her pregnancy.
Also, this role of his feels like a precursor to a bit that he and Vince Vaughn would later do at the 2003 MTV Movie Awards, in which they both play butt make-up artists (or something like that) on the set of Charlies Angels 2: Full Throttle, getting Cameron, Lucy Liu, and Drew Barrymores butts prepared for a sexy burlesque scene theyre filming.
Report Reveals HBO Cancelled Game of Thrones Show On Key Westeros Era, SNL "I Drink Your Milkshake" Displays Bill Hader's Daniel Day-Lewis Impression, SNLs Black Widow Sketch Was A VERY Different Avengers Story For Natasha, Star Trek Into Darkness Bill Hader Cameo Explained, Why Better Call Saul Skipped So Much Of Jimmy & Kim, Why Stranger Things' Joe Keery Didn't Think Steve Would Survive Season 1, Yu Yu Hakusho Posters Reveal Live-Action Cast, Why Chronicles Of Narnia Adaptations Fail (& How Netflix's Won't), House Of The Dragon Lets Fans Visit Dragonstone & Hatch Eggs At SDCC, Scott Kreamer - Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous Season 5 Interview, National Treasure Show Video Reveals Movie Easter Eggs, 1 Dustin Line Makes Eddie's Sacrifice In Stranger Things Worse. Some pretty solid lines from Anas Martha towards the end of this sketch, but overall, this sketch was merely average, a step down from the usual strong sketches starring Anas Martha. Not counting Darrell, the ONLY cast member missing from this overall sketch was Jeff, which is ironic, considering this sketch was an impression showcase and Jeff has a knack for doing impressions. after not medalling at Olympics, host settled for fourth-place ceremonies, Ah, Jonny Moseley. After the first two minutes, Ive pretty much lost interest in this sketch. TOMORROW Its just that, even with all of the decent sketches, something about the show as a whole felt a little on the meh side.
Overall, not bad, though this didnt quite measure up to a typical Molly Shannon-era Delicious Dish installment, in my eyes. Outstanding. Tracys distinct Tracy-speak all throughout this sketch, and the juxtaposition of it and Rachels professional speak, are priceless. I wonder if that falcon puppet(seen in the last of the above group of screencaps for this sketch, above the stray screencap of Amy being lifted in the air) is the same one that SNL would end up regularly using in the Falconer sketches that star the soon-to-join-the-cast Will Forte.
Commenters on Silverstone's site seemed to not make much of an issue of it. Some pretty funny vocalizations from Roger when he and Virginia recognize Jimmys character, Dave, from the Luvahs sketch from this seasons Drew Barrymore episode. As shocking as this rehiring move on SNLs part seems, its not unprecedented (despite Parnell himself later claiming it was, in Will Ferrells farewell piece from this seasons finale). Of course, Jimmy IMMEDIATELY starts smirking when Horatio first comes waddling onscreen. STARS: ***, MONOLOGUE I personally say theres a 50/50 chance between SNL having stolen the joke and it just being a coincidence. There were still a few strong highlights tonight, though. STARS: ***, JARRETS ROOM Good character from Alec. Pretty funny how hes confirming all of the awful things Tracy said about him.
STARS: ****, LAST CALL WITH CARSON DALY Updates over ALREADY? Ah, and heres the man of the hour, Will. All of Jons material about gays is working for me, and what helps most of it age well (I say most of it because I dont know how people today would react to the whole part with Jon implying the boy scouts are gay, though *I* laughed, due to Jons solid delivery) is the fact that Jon is taking a pro-gay stance here. Yeah, this has GOTTA be a James Anderson-written sketch. STARS: ***, TV FUNHOUSE Odd but entertaining bit with Jimmy repeatedly getting prematurely hit with a pie before he can get to the punchline of a clown joke hes doing. Maya in particular is great here, and I remember this being a very popular performance of hers among online SNL fans back at this time. 2012 CBS Broadcasting Inc. All Rights Reserved. I absolutely LOVE Parnell briefly breaking out into a hard, fast-paced rap, before suddenly cowering away from a shining light in his face.
This overall sketch was sadly kinda forgettable. Alec now doing a cartoonishly deep, macho voice into the voicemail in an attempt make it avoid sound gay in the playback is pretty funny. IMMEDIATE POST-SHOW THOUGHTS stoner journalist (host) hazily investigates federal marijuana conspiracy, Odd usage of Darrell throughout tonights episode so far. In fact, I surprisingly didnt even notice his absence in any of the sketches while watching the episode, which goes to show how solid this episode was. (*groan*) Figures that Kattan would be the one who gets cast as a catty, effeminate Ken doll. Considering SNL announced in the Julia Stiles episode in March a year prior that it was their 500th episode that night (which it indeed was), I doubt theyd already be at 530 episodes just a year and a month later. Rachels Paula Jones saying her occupation is a stay-at-home actress is very funny. Discord Where You Can Discuss New SNL Episodes (and SNL In General) On, May 18, 2002 Winona Ryder / Moby (S27 E20), May 11, 2002 Kirsten Dunst / Eminem (S27 E19), April 20, 2002 Alec Baldwin / P.O.D. Kirsten eventually getting into the act is pretty funny as well. A pretty good laugh from the Mormons interrupting a skiier in the middle of an Olympic competition. anything that irks George W. Bush (WIF) earns membership in Axis Of Evil, Tonights episode was actually originally scheduled to be one of the episodes this season that Will misses so he can film the movie Old School, but he ended up having to alter his movie-filming schedule this week due to Darrells absence. I love Maya saying This is MY underground railroad while gesturing towards her crotch. I like the detail of the new Robot Tina entering with a plastic bag over her head. A laugh from Amy casually revealing I just got punched in the face last night. Also, after Ive been particularly salty towards Kattan in my last few episode reviews (and rightfully so, as Im sure quite a number of you readers feel), Id like to say something positive about him for a change by pointing out that he made me laugh throughout tonights America Undercover installment. Overall, a poor way for The Luvahs to go out (not counting their future appearance in the following seasons Christopher Walken episode that Will cameos in). George Plimpton [real] pitches fun way to raise gourmets, George Plimpton makes another funny random SNL appearance, after the Just Enjoy The Ozzy sketch from season 24. Bono (CHK) & Yves St. Laurent (host) shmooze, This sketch has suddenly gone from always appearing towards the end of the show to now being the post-monologue lead-off sketch. What the hell?!? Despite that, this has still always been a funny recurring sketch, even in its lesser installments. Wills line about how he climaxes very loudly at exactly 7 AM each morning is hilarious. Very broad stereotypical Asian accents from Maya and Ana, though something about the goofy, dumb, somewhat-fun nature of this general sketch makes those Asian stereotypes come off a little passable, even if this sketch in general isnt quite as hilarious as I had remembered it being. Mormons (DAA) & (WIF) proselytize during Olympians (AMP) downhill run, Ha, we get a random Dan Aykroyd appearance (whos apparently there tonight to help tonights host, Britney Spears, promote her new movie Crossroads, as he plays her dad in it), being paired with Will as Mormons. Even the bird squawk sound effect is the same.
Part of the reason for that meh feel could be the host. Gee, way for Jonny Moseley to INSTANTLY stretch as a performer. I wouldve assumed they only resurrected this sketch once after Mollys departure just as an excuse to do an (unnecessary) sequel to Schwetty Balls. (For anyone curious, the tribute showed behind-the-scenes footage of Wilson in the SNL control room getting things ready for the X-Files cold opening of the about-to-go-on-the-air David Duchovny-hosted season 20 finale, which was Wilsons final episode as SNLs director.) STARS: **, BRIAN FELLOWS SAFARI PLANET ? I also love how, immediately after that line, this episode of Astronaut Jones ends, and you then realize that the opening title sequence was humorously longer than the episode itself was. STARS: ****, GIRL NEXT DOOR Very funny rant from Tina so far, regarding the pressure put on women to have children. Funny segment with Will and Amy as famous Canadian pair skaters trying to host SNL. Jonny Moseley. Thats always been one of my favorite side bits that Jimmy and Tina ever did together on Update. IIRC, SNL would later move this sketch up to a much earlier spot in this episode in reruns. When noticing this, Ian makes yet another hilarious ad-lib by jokingly slapping Darrells face a few times. Also, unlike the Josh Hartnett episode earlier this season, Will Ferrells absence did not negatively affect the show. Tom Davis is credited during the goodnights of tonights episode as guest writing a sketch. The constant cutaways to Kattan and Rachels put-off facial reactions to the singing are getting very old. The sides of his hair are cut in a weird way. "Oh, for goodness sakes people, Alicia is feeding her child, not shooting up," posted Jacqueline Pascarl. For some reason, Will starts breaking while hes chewing on food. Great bit about having a sexual attraction to pumpkins. Seth: How did you get in here? Drunk Girl: Tracy Morgan. Seth: Yeah, it figures. Theres one brief point where Maya looked like she was about to come very close to helplessly busting out laughing in reaction to the faces that Will, Amy, and Kirsten are making right next to her, but shes doing a good job of pulling through and keeping a straight face. Not only do we FINALLY, for the first time all damn season, have someone in the cast whos NOT Darrell or Will say Live from New York (I just mean among the cast members, in case anyone wants to point out that Rudy Giuliani said LFNY in the season premiere), but its Jimmy, of all people, who delivers it.
