SNL: No Mo Po

I was deeply saddened to learn that Saturday night's SNL was Amy Pohler's last. She said a touching and still comedic good-bye at the end of Weekend Update. Who will replace her? Please, dear Lord (who I don't believe in) let it be Kristin Wiig! Is there a Facebook petition for this purpose yet? Wiig was once again in a majority of the show's sketches: 5 out of 7! (Yay!) In other SNL news, Kanye West sounded awful on the show, but his presentation was outstanding! He incorporated two enormous LCD screens (or sumthin) and video and animation to a level never before seen on SNL. Pretty much everyone sounds crappy on SNL. It's either nerves, being rushed, or just crappy sound. OMG, the dead-cat Christmas letter sketch was upsetting and hilarious! Also, unfunny Fred Armisen was unusually brilliant as NY Governor Paterson on Weekend Update. I hate watching a show knowing that there won't be a new episode for weeks and weeks. They deserve a break, but what about MY needs?! British actor Stephen Fry Twittered about being backstage. He has a great Twitter feed. He leads a fabulous life and has a brilliant way of boiling it down to a few lines. Speaking of brilliant! Bronx Beat was back and was possibly the best episode yet. Clips!


Sniff sniff.
