Looks like McCain is angling for a regular slot on SNL! The dark horse in tomorrow’s election kicks off SNL’s Presidential bash with a solo cold open… and totally rocks it, kicking the night off on the right foot. (And by the way, future candidates: When it comes to using your TV airtime, I totally vote for multiple SNL appearances over ½ hour infomercials)
Next: New Mom Amy Poehler as Hillary Clinton hosts the special – using her time to announce her candidacy in 012 among other assertions. I will always love this caricature of HRC… and with Poehler packing up at 30 Rock, this is nice closure.
Solid clips from this election season take up the next 20 minutes – with a quick, unfunny interruption from Jason Sudeikis as Joe Biden… and a Poehler punctuated bit at the end of a past Clinton monologue… love Present Clinton getting more unhinged as the night goes on – you know Real Hillary is telling everyone how fine she is with supporting Obama, but back in Chappaqua, candy-colored pantsuits and copies of Bill’s memoir are flying!
Not enough new content tonight – 90% of the show is highlights from the past month (most of which is posted on this site)
Real Palin! When is this from? And what is she doing? That was just the weirdest thing I ever heard…hold on –I have to watch this again.
Okay, yup, she made a few “jokes” about NBC’s shitty ratings and then a joke about being sworn in on January 20th as VP and revoking NBC’s broadcast license –I think the part about her being sworn in was the joke, but who knows. You know, I think the new perfect post-election job for her would be the Elisabeth Hasselback on a View-spinoff with Rosie O’Donnell, a few filler pundettes, and a Barbara Walters-style referee.
Old, old, old… seriously, what was up with that Palin monologue? Her pitbull/hockey mom riddle was funnier than this pointless bit. Her kids’ names are funnier than this… Am I missing something?
By the way, if you’ve been living under a rock, Oprah is going to be 30 Rock this week.
2nd Rev Wright commercial during this show… no Obama ads to counter.
Amy Poehler RAPS up the show --- Oh okay… Sarah Palin wore the black suit on SNL when she appeared a few weeks ago, which is when she must have taped the earlier bit that has baffled me for half of this broadcast. So since she filmed this three weeks ago, she needed to do something that wasn't time sensitive at all… so that whole NBC thing was safe. But it wasn’t funny. This rap on the other hand --- still awesome!!!
Okay, that’s all. Time to watch The Hills.
VOTE TOMORROW!
