SNL

So when Mel and I found out that Jonah Hill was hosting Saturday Night Live, we decided to tune in. You have to understand that growing up I was a huge SNL fan, up until probably about the time Will Ferrell left. I had only watched 1 episode in the last few years, when Peyton Manning hosted which actually was a very funny installment.

SNL seems to go through cycles. The actors become stars, the show peaks, then the actors leave. The show then stinks for a little while until they start building up the new crop. Like I said I stopped when Will Ferrell left with the intention of coming back when the show was good again. It has been so long, so what better time to come back to SNL than with Jonah Hill hosting?

It was awful. It was like a bad episode of Mad TV, and that's bad! The skits were horribly written and terribly executed. The only saving grace whatsoever was the news spot, minus the 2 minute plug for Barack Obama. It really shouldn't be this bad. The show has talent in Poehler, Samberg, Hader and Armisen. I will give it another chance when Christopher Walken hosts next month. I just don't know if I can handle the disappointment.
