[pmoney316]

Wow, who knew Andy Samberg did a great impression of Danny doing BabyGirl?

[TheMojoPin]

Oh my God, I had to turn it off after 45 minutes or so. Phelps is easily one of the worst hosts they've ever had, and all the sketches were painfully unfunny.

[TooLowBrow]

i'll never understand how the openings shows can have bad sketches. they have the whole summer to write something decent.

[mikeyboy]

I'm a little behind because I'm watching this on a DVR, but Phelps is awful. Did anyone notice that the locker room sketch was recycled from when Peyton Manning was on, except Peyton was much better. Not too enthused about what I've seen so far, but I did think the opening sketch was funny.

[CousinDave]

Watching it now on Tivo, I'm about 30 minutes behind, some awful rapper is on.

So far not very impressed, and the host, the guy that won the swimming in the Olympics is just awful. I heard Obama was going to be on, but Aint it Cool News said he canceled - dumb on his part if you ask me, when he was on before I thought he did pretty good, it was just a bad part they wrote for him. McCain was fantastic when he hosted a few years ago, especially when he sang the Barbra Streisand songs.

[PapaBear]

The T Mobile one is pretty good. But yeah... Phelps sucks at sketch comedy.

[JerseySean]

This show is just unwatchable. Im a little behind right now as well. Who could possibly laugh at this?

[GreatAmericanZero]

i came home at 12:30 last night to discover my dvr wasn't recording it. Ugggh some kind of conflict or something i guess

I started watching at 12:30. That skit with the fat waiter who kept smelling pepper was one of the worst things ever. It was as bad as a MadTv skit.

Anyway, i found a few skits from last night on nbc.com. The opening with Palin and Hillary was pretty good.

Any new cast member besides the fat "pepper" waiter? Still Poehler and Myers doing the news? Anything else exciting of note? I need to know!

That's the only new addition, although that one chick (Casey something) is still a featured performer). Other than that, not much of note. Michael Phelps may be the dregs of the athletes hosting the show (and that's saying a lot).

from what ive seen on the few skits on nbc.com he is still a better actor than Nancy Kerrigan was (but the material isn't as funny)

[WampusCrandle]

i felt really bad and uncomfortable. its like watching a school play where the lead doesnt know his lines, and is going through puberty, and only got it 'cause he's a jock

[Reephdweller]

I totally agree, Phelps was awful. The intro was good but that was really all I enjoyed I got about halfway through before giving up, I was into it at all. I wish I had seen weekend update though.

[pennington]

Awful. Really.

One of the good things about recording it is you can fast-forward. The bad thing is you can see the whole show in 15 minutes. Even Weekend Update, usually good for a couple of laughs, was dreary. Every other joke/comment was a put-down of Sarah Palin. Nothing about Obama, Biden or even McCain.

As TooLowBrow stated, why are the opening shows always so bad? They have 3-4 months to come up with something. It's like they come in on Monday, catch up with everybody for a couple of days, slap something together by Friday and put it on the air Saturday.

[RAAMONE]

i havnt watched in years but for some reason i caught this show and was glad i did

phelps was so bad it was entertaining

also lil wayne needs to pull up his pants...his belt was tied like below his ass and balls

[Enabler]

I liked the new guy...the "pepper waiter" sketch. I also liked "Alaska Pete." Other than that, same unfunny shit as last year. Have I mentioned before that Amy Poehler is in WAY too many sketches? :wallbash:

[CousinDave]

I think it might be a good idea to make SNL just an hour long instead of 90 minutes. That or add a couple of classic skits to each new episode.


Doing so would make the writers and cast compete harder for air time, resulting in a much more entertaining show.

[DolaMight]

how predictable was the Palin/Fey opening. She's not even a part of the show but they couldn't resist the youtube appeal.

I didn't see the show, but caught the opener on nbc.com. I'm not a fey fan but she pulled off a good palin aka marge accent. Too bad she's not with the show anymore, she'd have a nice gig for herself.

She must been sitting in front of a mirror with a tape recorder and voice coach every day since the VP pick.

[RAAMONE]

speaking of Fey...and pohler...anyone see Baby Mama?

i rented it but didnt watch it yet...it seems like it would be stupid but i heard it was actually pretty good

[Sue_Bender]

I had the hardest time staying awake for it.


I watched the entire show...unfortunately/barely.



It was worse than the George Steinbrenner episode...



although, at least there was Farley.




and he stunk at the time.










Yuckers.





(Farley stinks more now...I realize this...CHRIST!)

[pennington]

Have I mentioned before that Amy Poehler is in WAY too many sketches? :wallbash:
I agree. Maybe it's just me but her mugging for the camera with each character isn't that hilarious.

Also, what's up with Darrell Hammond? He's still in the opening credits but I don't remember seeing him. He wasn't on much last season either. Those Bill Clinton/Al Gore/Jessie Jackson/Sean Connery impressions aren't much in demand; he needs to learn some new ones or move on.

O&A are playin back the SNL opener. I forgot to mention why did they choose Poehler to do Hillary? I can't blame her for not looking anything like Hillary but she doesn't even attempt to sound like Hillary. It's as if she was telling a story and she said you be Palin and imagine I'm Hillary. A stark contrast to the work Fey put in on Palin.

She talked, sounded, and looked like Amy. If they cared about impressions why didn't they just slap a wig on Darrell Hammond.

It was alright. Few funny scenes from Pohler and Dax. Should have been better.

[Slumbag]

That was just as terrible as I thought it would be.

The Digital Short knocked it out of the park again, though. I think without Andy Samberg, SNL would be one of my least favorite shows.

[CambriaBurning]

I think at this point they should only let Andy and his buddies who write the Digital Shorts just write most of the sketches.

They are the only highlight of SNL these days. i thought the game show with the creepy home-school mormons had a lot of potential to be funny, but missed the mark, and widely.

The T-Mobile commercial spoof was great though.

yeah, it was ok. i bought it, which i shouldnt have. i feel like its a good movie to rent or see on tv with awful, greasey chinese food . . . i say its B-

[Enabler]

Bobby Moynihan was good again this week. I liked the "of mice and Men" sketch. And did I catch him on a TV commercial for 1050 ESPN Radio? Asking Michael Kay for his pin# at an ATM. I really dont understand how they pick which sketches go where within the show. It seems like the only stuff I like is the last, or second to last sketch of the night. I guess its seniority.
Last thing, what happened to Kings of Leon? I thought hey were a southern rock band. Their look and sound seemed way different to me.

[Fallon]

I gotta say tonights SNL was probably top to bottom the best episode they've done in years.

They kept the sketches short,The Killers were fantastic and Ann Hathaway was a great host. She seemed to be into the show and actually learned her lines.

They had some pretty boring skits, but some good ones, too. Once again, the digital short was funny, and the weekly Palin thing was fucking hilarious.

[AKA]

That clocked in at about 12 minutes, which is really only 10 minutes shy of being the length for a sit-com. If McCain/Palin get in there, maybe Tina Fey should think about taking on a second prime time show, and just do 30 minutes of Sarah Palin being interviewed, debating, lecturing, etc. It would be bold, interesting and mavericky.

[Reephdweller]

I agree, last nights show was very strong compared to other shows this season. Anna Hatheway was great as were the Killers. I haven't been too crazy about the musical guests they've picked lately, but I like the Killers a lot.

One thing that I wish they would do is make sketches that are solid from start to finish. For example, the sketch with the guys and the girls in the club, and the guys trying to pick them up, it was funny at first but then after Bobby Moynihan picked up Anne Hatheway it just fell apart. It just seems like they write to a point and then have no idea how to close it or what to do next. It was good but just fell flat to me.

[FezsAssistant]

I feel that SNL has given up. As a result, I've given up on them. I sit there in amazement that someone gets paid to write such boring hack predictable crap. I guess almost all of TV is the same way. I suggest replacing SNL with reruns of Arrested Development.

[GreatAmericanZero]

Bobby Moynihan is the worst thing ever

I have to agree. I laughed more than once or twice which is rare. Ive never seen an Anne Hathaway movie but she did amazingly well. Seems like she is a really good actress and singer. I even enjoyed Kristen Wiig in that tiny-handed sketch.

[Aqualad]

Even when it's good they have no idea how to end a sketch.

And it's been that way since 1975.

[ChrisTheCop]

I only watched the last half hour, but I gotta agree with the above statements.
Last night's show was like the Sarah Palin debate; the bar had been set so low, I was amazed when it could actually do it's job, make me laugh.

Again, I didnt see the whole show, but that Mary Poppins thing was classic SNL.

[CambriaBurning]

If they would have ended right before the ending Katy Perry sketch... the episode would have been 50% better. That sketch ruined my good mood the whole episode gave me. Just terrible.

[Slumbag]

They had some pretty boring skits, but some good ones, too. Once again, the digital short was funny, and the weekly Palin thing was fucking hilarious.

I may be the only one, but I don't like the Sarah Palin/Tina Fey sketches.
They're just simple. Like, I get it, it's just not that funny.

[KnoxHarrington]

I may be the only one, but I don't like the Sarah Palin/Tina Fey sketches.

I think it's just too direct a parody to really be clever or funny. I prefer a degree of absurdity in an impression, not a simple attempt to copy.

I mean, I actually like Ronnie's Biden better than Fey's Palin.

[pennington]

I may be the only one, but I don't like the Sarah Palin/Tina Fey sketches. They're just simple. Like, I get it, it's just not that funny.

I feel that way too. It's just mocking all the time.

[mikeyboy]

It was such a one-note sketch and it was so bizarre, but the "Mark Wahlberg talks to animals" sketch made me laugh.

[CambriaBurning]

Yeah, I'd love to see more stuff like that. Too many of the sketches are like mini-sitcoms with wacky characters. The off the wall stuff can totally die, but when it hits, it's the best.

[CambriaBurning]

They should just end any sketch where they cant think of an ending the same way they ended the Wahlberg one... just end it abruptly. Makes it funnier than droning on after already reaching its peak.

[fezident]

Dang.
I'm soooo damn busy with career stuff, I honestly haven't had the time to sit and watch SNL.
This is a first.
I'm two weeks behind.

I've only really seen the Phelps episode and that su-diddly-ucked, Flanders.

[FezsAssistant]

The latest SNL was the best of the season by far, but that's not saying much. Wahlberg talking to animals was funny. There was some funny stuff this week. Anne Hathaway's hotness doesn't hurt.
For me, the Palin thing is hack and unwatchable.

[Badinia]

I even enjoyed Kristen Wiig in that tiny-handed sketch.

I am just watching this on TIVO and the tiny-hand sketch made me laugh until my stomach hurt. I nearly threw up.

And why wasn't Will Forte George W.? I think his Bush is better than Jason Sudeakis.

[boonanas]

I'd like to also say that I think this last episode was one of the funniest in a while. Anne Hathaway was actually able to deliver.

[fezident]

MARK WAHLBERG wasn't flattered by ANDY SAMBERG's impersonation of him in a recent skit on Saturday Night Live. Samberg imitated Wahlberg in a sketch in which he randomly chats with farm animals; for example, he tells a donkey, "You eat apples, right? I produce Entourage." The real Wahlberg told the New York Post, quote, "Someone showed it to me on YouTube. It wasn't like TINA FEY doing SARAH PALIN, that's for sure. And Saturday Night Live hasn't been funny for a long time. They've asked me to do the show a ton of times." Wahlberg added that he watched SNL in the early 1980s, but is unfamiliar with the current cast -- aside from Samberg, that is.

im glad someone brought this up

Mark Wahlberg has to be one of the least humorous people in the world (he does produce "entourage")

He refuses to talk about being "Marky Mark" and just pouts and looks angry when mentions. Just no sense of humor whatsoever.

He probably doesn't even make fun of that awful Planet of the Apes movie he was in

Fuck Marky Mark

And Saturday Night Live hasn't been funny for a long time. They've asked me to do the show a ton of times." Wahlberg added that he watched SNL in the early 1980s, but is unfamiliar with the current cast -- aside from Samberg, that is.

I would only accept that response if it came from Sergeant Dignam

[PapaBear]

I was listening to call ins on Headline News this morning about Palin being on SNL. Some guy called in and said (have redneck voice in you head), I'm glad she's gonna be on SNL. She's a real smart and purdy lady. She's going to run circles around Tina Fey.

It's a scripted show, you ass! Do you think she's going on there to debate Fey?:wallbash:

[Ritalin]

I honestly believe that Tina Fey would make a better vice president than Sarah Palin.

Anywho.. I predict itll be a "dignified" appearance on update, ala mike huckabee.
Youve gotta admit, it takes alotta guts to go on a show that so obviously and blatantly hates you. Next stop...Daily Show???

Josh Brolin is a good Live actor

I've noticed that on SNL, actresses usually do better LIVE acting than actors but Brolin is good all around.

People like Amy Adams, Anna Faris and Anne Athaway were good actors, the fat kid from Superbad and James Franco weren't. But Brolin is def acting here. I like the guy

I've loved Forte since his very first appearance on the show. I think he's just naturally funny.

Sudekis is, in my opinion, the best "actor" the show's ever had. He's definitely on his way to hollywood, if ya ask me.

[GreatAmericanZero]

he was doing the bit that he was in the media complaining about

i have to admit...i thought it was hilarious

i was ready to apologize for calling him a humorless douchebag a few posts earlier in this thread. hes funny tonight!

[GreatAmericanZero]

Sudekis is, in my opinion, the best "actor" the show's ever had. He's definitely on his way to hollywood, if ya ask me.

i know its sacrilege to compare him to Phil Hartman

Jason Sudekis is great, I just saw the Rainn Wilson movie The Rocker last week and Sudekis was in it and was very funny throughout it.

[Reephdweller]

I agree. I think I lot of people and even producers of SNL try to make it that Darrell Hammond is the next Phil Hartman but I don't even think he comes close at all.

[GreatAmericanZero]

Josh Brolin is doing a great acting job tonight


i'm a big fan of him... i never saw him before "grindhouse" (i obviously saw the goonies but he didn't stick out for me) and with last year and this year...he is now in the "i'll pay to see him act" category. He's been on fire recently

by the way..they said "next week the host is Josh Hamm" or someone..who the fuck is that? a sports star or something? Never heard of him

[GreatAmericanZero]

i also love Kristen Wiig. Think shes way talented


Not too big on this Casey Wilson. They should've gotten Casey Elan instead..shes way funnier. I'm a bigger fan of Casey Elan than Casey Wilson

[KatPw]

This is one of my favorite songs. Adele rules. The video is great also.

[Crippler]

by the way..they said "next week the host is Josh Hamm" or someone..who the fuck is that? a sports star or something? Never heard of him

I think that was probably Jon Hamm, star of the AMC show Mad Men about Madison Ave Advertising industry in the early 60s.

It was John Hamm. TV's Don Draper from "Mad Men". Fantastic actor, don't know how good of a host he'll be.

Thank you for noting that. I keep bitching about lip-synching, but nobody seems to care anymore. I guess it's just accepted to not have any vocal talent or personality these days.

before the ashlee simpson thing i heard "Triumph the Insult Comic Dog" as a guest on Loveline (adam carolla and dr. drew sex radio show). Since Robert Smigel (who does triumph) is a long time SNL contributer, he totally..as Triumph..outed how so many musical guests aren't singing live (he used britney spears and J.Lo as examples).

[Reephdweller]

Also gotta add that I'm a huge fan of Bill Hader

[GreatAmericanZero]

the "Fart Face" skit was way funny

Even worse than the lip-synchers are those that don't even really contribute to their own songs. A couple of weeks ago Lil Wayne (or was it T.I? Is there a difference) was on, and the backup guy sang the entire song with Lil Wayne doing little more than shouting the catch phrase.

[fezident]

I feelin' ya on the Bill Hader.
He's yet another talented cast member. I seriously think this cast is gonna kick ass. It's strong all around.
Last year and this year almost feel like a rebuilding period for the show. This cast is f'ing talented and I think they're gonna bring that show to a new level eventually. They seem to be taking it very seriously. They all seem to really WANT TO be there. They grew up watching SNL... and it shows in their performances.

and after the ashlee shit, Lorne Michaels was saying they only use lip sync when its a big dance number as well (like what britney or Janet Jackson does..when they have a dozen people on stage dancing and doing a show) but its clearly more than that

that year they added Jason Seduikis, Andy Sanberg, Kirsten Wiig and Bill Hader, i can't think of a year where they added stronger castmates

all of those are probably stronger than most of the cast

im just saying as an instant "we are adding these actors this year" it was a pretty strong year..especially one where they didn't change the principal players (if there is an argument it has to be from a year where they cleaned house and added all new people)

[TheMojoPin]

I guess. I do think the show is like 99% dogshit right now, so I'm probably skewed by that.

Hell, '86 added Phil Hartman and Dana Carvey. To me, that alone right there blows away the four you named.

was that not the changeover from that jean dominique (or whatever his name) back to Lorne Michaels?

[TheMojoPin]

What about '90 being the year Farley, Sandler, Spade and Rock were added?

hold on though,who was on the cast already relative to the new folks' talent?


the 4 i mentioned were way funnier than most of the cast. in 90 they already had Carvey, Hartman, Meyers and i'm sure a few others where the addition of more funny people didn't seem as noticeable.

[TheMojoPin]

Heh, you're getting too picky here.

So you're basically saying it can only be cast members added to a really shitty cast?

The question of the night has to be whether the Palin appearance will make any difference. Forget about the tv news analysts, as anything she did would result in the same opinion. Republicans will say she nailed it and was perfect, and Democrats will say the opposite. But what about the others? I don't mean just the undecided, but those who are leaning one way or another but don't have a real political affiliation?

Also, I noticed this on the NBC/SNL "comments" section:

Sarah Palin may not be perfect...But she is better than Barrack HUSSEIN Obama and Michelle "PLANET OF THE APES" "Jungle Bunny" Obama.

I am not a religious person. And I guess we have to take Senator Obama at his word...when he states that he is a Christian...and not a Muslim. But I believe...that deep down...Senator Obama is sympathetic to the Muslim cause. And when you add the fact that he wants to "Redistribute Wealth"...you have to wonder if he has FannieMae FreddieMac type intentions

I recently re-watched the "Action" series with Jay Mohr. I was surprised to see Will Forte wrote some of those episodes.

I'm also a fan of Bill Hader. Who else is doing a drunken Peter O'Toole impression (that's redundant, isn't it)? He was also good in Super Bad as one of the cops.

well Palin didnt do anything funny on SNL. The people around her did stuff but that she wasn't the star. Alec Baldwin and Tina Fey were the funny ones

I would think it would hurt Palin cuz this skit is getting a lot of attention in the media and people will go "She didn't do anything" at it will be seen as overrated

[Reephdweller]

I recently re-watched the "Action" series with Jay Mohr. I was surprised to see Will Forte wrote some of those episodes.

Same here, I recently started watching them again and when I saw his name as writer on the shows I had to check IMDB to make sure it was him, sure enough it was. It just added a new level of respect on top of what I already had for him.

The one segment I wish Will Forte would do again is the Falconer, I love it.

Here's the Falconer - Time Traveler with Kevin Spacey...it is one of my favorites ever.

http://www.hulu.com/watch/1590/saturday-night-live-the-falconer---time-travel


Also, someone mentioned how all of SNL was taken off YouTube, it was but TONS of stuff is on Hulu.com and also NBC's website. Hulu has it much more organized and intuitive.

This show was absolutely horrible. The previous one (Anne Hathaway) was pretty good (best of the year by far), but this one was complete shit. They led off the show with the sushi/proposal thing? There wasn't a single laugh in that entire skit. The foliage thing was horrible. Bad show.

[angrymissy]

That sushi/proposal stuff was shit, as well as that macguyer crap.

I am surprised Alec Baldwin was willing to even stand NEXT to Palin.

[GreatAmericanZero]

yeah the rap was funny, but its amy poehler being funny. Palin just bopped her head along to the bit. Anyone could do that

I'm suggesting Lorne hires Crazed. Lorne already fucked up by firing AJ Dynamite but how sweet would Crazed's rapping be on that show?

LOVE THE FALCONER! Especially that particular sketch.
I always thought that they should've gone so far back in time that ex-members of the SNL cast should've also particpated. It'd be great if they kept it goin' until, say, Dan Aykroyd was in full Falconer gear.

[PapaBear]

That was a sweet tribute to Amy after Weekend Update just now!

[fezident]

Was Amy on tonight's show?
I heard that she had a baby boy so, I'm assuming she's in the hospital or... was the birth of her son just a rumor?

If Amy wasn't there tonight.... who co-anchored the news with Seth?
And how'd the pay tribute to Amy? The only other time I've seen that done was with Will Ferrell. It was quite special.

At the end of Weekend Update, they sang (to the tune of "Cant Take My Eyes Off of You") "We love you Amy".

To be honest, I can't remember if she was on tonight. I was drinking, and before watching the live show, I watched the replay stuff they did in prime time. It's a bit of a blur.

[fezident]

She will be missed.
She was such a tremendous presence on that show. I'd definitely call her a "legendary" member.

[Reephdweller]

She wasn't on the show lastnight, Seth said she couldn't be on because she was in the hospital having a baby. It was established in the news hours before the show started that she had a baby boy so I don't know why they didn't just say it.

The tribute was very nice. It was Maya Rudolph and Keenan Thompson singing "Can't take my eyes off of you"

That would have been great, they could have gone back to the beginning and gotten Aykroyd, Garrett Morris, and probably even Steve Martin to do it.

[fezident]

I just listened to the Jeanene Garafolo episode of UNMASKED.
She spends quite a few mins talking about (read: bashing) SNL. It's a lot of the same stuff she talks about in the book LIVE FROM NEW YORK by Tom Shayles but, it's worth checking out if you're a fan of the show.

Great interview.

[Slumbag]

I think last night's episode may have been the first of the season that I really liked.
I didn't know who the host was originally, but he was fantastic.


And Rasta Man fucking rules.

I thought last night's episode was atrocious, which makes it average for this season since they're all terrible. Only the Anne Hathaway episode was watchable this year.
The Joe Biden thing went on about 4 minutes too long.
I have nothing against the host. The writing on SNL is just plain horrible.
They even let Coldplay do 3+ songs. I guess they couldn't even come up with a full show's worth of material.

[ChrisTheCop]

White Rasta Boy was hilarious! I also liked the Halloween Sex Offender.

Youve gotta give Lorne credit though; he gave coldplay more airtime instead of trying to force lame comedy down our throats.

During that Amy tribute, just as they were cutting away, Maya and Keenan both pointed to their crotches and said something like "comin out your pussy!" Anyone else catch that?

[Reephdweller]

I didn't watch SNL all the way through, but I just saw this one from this past weeks show Jon Hamm's John Ham and thought it was pretty funny...

Senator John McCain making an appearance tonight!

This I HAVE to see!

[Reephdweller]

I did not like that Keith Olberman bit at all. It was just not that funny and went on way too long.

Dito. Total crap.

[fezident]

Did they show Poehler's face (and name) during the opening credits?

[PapaBear]

I've never heard of David Cook, but I hated him after the first line of the song.

[TheGameHHH]

McCain is getting booed on Weekend Update, thats pretty funny

[TheGameHHH]

Kristen Wiig has no range as an actress, she literally plays 300 versions of the same character.

[epo]

McCain is getting booed on Weekend Update, thats pretty funny

I'll give the man credit for walking into hostile territory.

[Reephdweller]

A classic political bit, one of my favorites with Phil Hartman

McCain was good.

Kings of Leon - is the singer an American Idol grad? The drummer is a neo-head banger! They're generic elevator rock.

oops is that who that is? he's nondescript and forgettable.

[GreatAmericanZero]

Ben Affleck was a great host. He did some great impersonations!

and McCain was very funny in his bits. Too bad i already sent my absentee ballot out as a vote for Obama. Darn.

[fezident]

Nice!
Asked n' answered yer honor.


Thank you.

[GreatAmericanZero]

Nice!

Thank you.

yeah i'll double confirm..Poehler in opening credits and opening for SNL Weekend update

[FezsAssistant]

Another horrible episode. I'm an idiot for continuing to watch the show.

[King Imp]

Is this show fighting for it's life or something? It seems like every day I check the listings, they are showing this show in primetime.

They are trying to get as much out of the political stuff as they can while it's hot.

[GreatAmericanZero]

so i looked up what Chris Elliot's daughter Abby looks like (cuz they mentioned her on Ron & Fez today joining the cast)...dudes, shes a fucking 10. Shes hot as hell

if shes really funny too (cuz her father is hilarious) I may be completely in love. Shes apparently only 21 too

I call dibs Paulisded! Heed to the bro code

[Enabler]

Wow, she is hot. She will instantly surpass Ellen Cleghorn as all-time hottest female cast member...by far.

[WampusCrandle]

she is def. hot - i dont know how the genetics worked out, but they did.

even though she is hot, im having that JD from scrubs moment (where he finds hot Mandy Moore perfect, but the only thing wrong is she says "that's so funny" instead of laughing). after every line she said, and every sentence, she gives this little "huh", a wisp of breathe ... i dont like it.

you do realize that she was imitating Kirsten Dunst, right?

She's not a hideous snagglemouth hack therefore... I give her Dunst impression a D minus.

As a biography, the young comedic actress is only 21 years old, the daughter of comedic actor Chris Elliott and granddaughter of Bob from the Bob & Ray Show. She currently lives in Los Angeles but claims New York City as her hometown. Her name is sometimes misspelled “Abby Elliot” with one-T instead of two.

Her voice has been heard on King of the Hill as a “hipster girl,” while she has appeared in bit parts on other TV shows. David Letterman, Conan O’Brien, and Jimmy Kimmel have hosted her as a guest.

But like most comedian’s of SNL her start has been on stage. Abby has done improv theater around the country, particularly in the Los Angeles area where she recently performed with “The Midnight Show” in Hollywood.

She is a celebrity impersonator, which is a talent on high premium at Saturday Night Live given Tina Fey’s recent success. Much of Abby’s media work has been developed with the help of her own YouTube channel, which includes video impersonations of Angelina Jolie and Kirsten Dunst.

She can also impersonate hair, as our Abby seems to like flipping from blond to redhead. We like her either way.

Obviously the good people at SNL decided that chicks are good for ratings. Having come to their senses, they hired Abby Elliott along with new cast member Michaela Watkins. Good luck to both of the new funny ladies of Saturday Night Live.

Photos and video follow.

i wish!

it's called "Tilt-a-wheel" so its one of their "we're clowns, get it?" type songs

Haven't seen her audition tape posted so here it is. A few more impressions and characters. Love the Joan Cusack.

[Slumbag]

Man, I tend to dig funny chicks.
I've had a mad Kristen Wiig boner for like, three years now.
I'm positive I am going to love this girl.:wub:

[mikeyboy]

I'm going to break ranks. Her impressions are decent, but certainly not spot on. Sometimes someone will do an impression of someone who hasn't really been imitated before and just nail it by picking up mannerisms and speech phrasing that no one else got. Ones that come to mind are Jay Mohr's Walken and Andy Samberg's Mark Wahlberg. Her impressions really don't have that. In fact, at least two of the three impressions on her audition tape I wouldn't have known who she was imitating if I wasn't told. Also, none of the stuff she was saying seemed all that funny. I guess that's up to the writers to give her stuff to work with though (no idea if she's been hired as a writer as well).

She is cute though.

[fezident]

I don't think there's even a HINT of similarity in her impressions. I don't get.

I usually hate all impressionists but, this chick doesn't appear to be copping the timbre or cadence of anyone she's imitdating.

Her talent remains to be seen but, daaaamn if she ain't fine. If she's at all funny, she follow the Aniston path to Hollywood.

[TheMojoPin]

Hopefully she'll be as good as her dad was on SNL...OHHHHH, SORRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE.

Chris Elliot is often a funny motherfucker, but he sucked hard on SNL, and comes across as a complete dick talking about it in Shales' book.

[hammersavage]

Her Dunst impression reminded me of Andy Samberg's Wahlberg impression in that I didn't realize an impression was possible until I heard it. I thought she nailed it and Joan Cusack. Drew Barrymore is easy.

But her talent isn't about her impressions. That's why they use in their audition reel but she won't be doing a ton of impressions every week. I can see other skills coming through. And she makes me want to visit Bonertown.

dude shes HOT!

the writers can do alot with her. Some skit ideas can be

"My pussy is so wet I have to touch it"

"I need a cock in my mouth"

and the girl who came to casual friday completely naked with her tits out. Thats a card


such great comedic possibilities

[Reephdweller]

Why did she close her account? All her videos are gone??? weird.

[Enabler]

Why did she close her account? All her videos are gone??? weird.

Yeah. wtf? Too much pub? weird. I blame mikeyboy's harsh comments.

[CambriaBurning]

Producers probably don't want her impressions all out there for everyone to look at... that way they can be unveiled slowly on the show over a few episodes.

Yeah, I had the show on in the background and that was the only sketch that made me laugh. Everything else was weak. I actually think they have a strong core of performers, but the writing is just so shitty right now.

every week's episode is pretty unwatchable...

Paul Rudd, Justin Timberlake, Beyonce.

My exact thoughts.

Blizzard Man was one of the only watchable parts of Saturdays program.

[pennington]

The skit with Tim McGraw as a redneck in Monte Carlo playing cards in the middle of a James Bond plot was pretty good.

That's about it for me, 4 minutes out of 90...

[PapaBear]

I totally had no clue what that new investigation show parody was all about until I saw the guy he was pretending to be on Dateline Investigation this morning. Now that I know, I think the skit was a good concept, but like everything else on SNL, it just went on too long. I think a lot of their skit ideas would work a lot better if they did rapid fire 20-30 second clips (Robot Chicken style).

I don't think that would work for SNL you have to remember it's Live, so 20-30 seconds would be almost impossible. I don't think the studio would have room for that many sets. Maybe do a tape thing for a couple of minutes like a digital short that might work. The week before was alot better than the McGraw episode.
