Today is Saturday, which means Saturday Night Live is on. Tonight's host is Ashton Kutcher, and the musical guest is Them Crooked Vultures.
I will do the commentary as the skits go on. I will write my reviews after the skits air. This will include Ashton's monologue and the cold open.
Cold Open: talking about the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy. I never really followed it. Kristen Wiig always does well in these cold opens.
Monologue: Very very funny. I almost spit out my dinner laughing (yes, I ate dinner at 10:30 pm. I needed something do to besides blog). Ashton held his composure together until the end and it was hilarious to see him try. But it was VERY unexpected to see him rip his pants off at the end.
Last Will and Testament: Ashton, Jason Sudeikis, and Jenny Slate had some good lines in this. It was kind of nasty because of all the STDs listed.
The View: I like Kristen Wiig as Elisabeth Hasselbeck and Nasim Pedrad as Barbara Walters. Ashton was good as Mel Gibson too.
The emperor that keeps eating grapes: Ashton's high-pitched voice was annoying, but Andy Samberg, who I love dearly, did very well in this.
Weekend Update: Seth Meyers is one of my heroes. He makes me laugh and smile, and he's not too rough on the eyes. I loved seeing my Andy turn up as "Liam, the teenager who just woke up." Bill Hader had some good lines, altho a lot of them made me roll my eyes. His laugh was annoying too. "Bon to the jour", as stated by Kenan Thompson, may be my new catchphrase. Nice to see Seth gettin' down too. Fred Armisen and Kristen Wiig's characters Garth and Kat made me irritated the first time the first time I saw them, and didn't impress me the second time either. I just shook my head in disbelief.
What Is Burn Notice?: Having not being familiar with this show, I didn't really understand it. Ashton and Will Forte both had some nice moments.
Access Hollywood: I love Nasim Pedrad with all my heart, but she does some voices that irritate me. Ashton's Billy Bush was funny and spastic, like he is. And it was funny seeing some popular movies that actually weren't nominated for Best Picture get nominated.
An Even-Tempered Apology from Rahm Emanuel: Andy is amazing and hysterical. I love him. That's all I will say.
Cadena-Norton Wedding: this sketch was awesome. Not the typical wedding band. Nice to see Them Crooked Vultures' drummer Dave Grohl appear in this one.
SNL will not have any more live shows until February 27th due to the 2010 Vancouver Olympics. As of now, I am not sure if they will be showing reruns during that time, but I will keep you posted as I find things out. Nice to see Ashton Kutcher ringing in his 32nd birthday by hosting SNL, he did a fabulous job. He was representing my home state of Iowa (he grew up here), and he was awesome. Happy birthday Ashton!
That's all for tonight. This Thursday is the season premiere of "Survivor: Heroes vs. Villains" so I will be writing about that. If anything else worth writing about comes up, I'll let you know!
Love y'all,
