Tonight was Saturday night, which means Saturday Night Live was on. This episode was actually pretty good. Tonight's host was Jon Hamm of "Mad Men" fame. I don't watch that show, the most I hear about that show is Stephen Fishbach always complaining on Twitter about how much he hates that show. Tonight's musical guest was Michael Buble. I have liked Michael Buble since I was 16 years old, right about the time I finished up my sophomore year of high school. Lately I've grown to love him even more, and wanna show y'all some funny videos of him when I'm done.
Like always, the sketches will appear in chronological order as best as I can remember them, and will include the cold open and Jon's monologue.
Cold Open: a nice way to handle Obama's State of the Union address, but the one thing I will never understand is why all the SNL cold opens are politically themed.
Monologue: this was funny. As I said, I wasn't familiar with Jon Hamm before I watched this, and I enjoyed seeing all his "claims to fame" before Mad Men.
The 1920's party: Kristen Wiig is funny, but her characters seem a bit too similar to each other. She did have some good lines and I loved the alley cats that appeared at the end. But then again I am a cat person.
Digital Short: this was a bit strange, but Andy Samberg is always freaking hilarious. And he's gorgeous too. The ending was kind of gross, but still good.
Jon Hamm appearing in daydreams during a congress meeting: strange, but mildly entertaining.
Weekend Update: Seth Meyers is amazing, and not too rough on the eyes either. I enjoyed seeing Bobby Moynihan as Snooki from "Jersey Shore", altho I think he should lay off the self-tanner JUST a smidge. Because he looked very orange. Nasim Pedrad had some nice moments too, but some of the voices she does are really irritating.
Hamm and Buble: my favorite sketch of the night. Michael Buble proved that not only is he a very talented singer, but he's also a whole bunch of awesome. He knows how to work a room and to make fun of himself.
Game Time With Randy and Greg: I remember seeing this on Joseph Gordon-Levitt's episode, where Bill Hader played an alien that co-hosts a sports show with Kenan Thompson, and Kenan keeps saying he's not alien. This edition featured Greg duplicating into more Gregs. Nice job once again.
The crazy, forgetful court reporter: Fred Armisen had some good lines in this, but it got weary after awhile.
The founders of Barnes and Noble: this one was hilarious. So random too! Nice job to Jon and Bill Hader.
Tonight's episode was good, and Michael Buble did a good job performing on it too. I have some awesome videos of him I want to share, since I've really grown to love him these past few days.
Here's one where he addresses how funny it is when people mispronounce his name (the embedding option was disabled).
Another one my best friend showed me about the worry he felt about possibly being a one hit wonder (again, the embedding option was disabled).
And finally:
a video from one of his concerts where he and Josh Groban make fun of each other's songs.
I hope you enjoy the videos, and my review of the latest SNL episode! I'll try to blog more sometime this week.
Love y'all,
