It goes like this the fourth, the fifth, the minor falls and the major lift

Tonight is a new Saturday Night Live episode, with host Jude Law and musical guest Pearl Jam. As always, skits will be in chronological order.

Cold Open: A nice way to handle a congressman's recent resignation from office. Bobby Moynihan was awesome, and Andy Samberg, as always, had some good moments.

Monologue: a good taste in the day in the life of Jude Law on Broadway. Very dramatic and fun.

Ford Hybrid Out of Control: nice to see the dynamic duo of Abby Elliott (a sweetheart <3) and Kenan Thompson (who is always awesome) acting together. Funny.

Secret Word: I believe this skit was in Joseph Gordon-Levitt's episode. Kristen Wiig had some good lines in this, and Jude did a good job in it as well.

Broadview Security: Reminds me of the Brinks commercials from awhile ago. Very good. Nasim was effective as a scared girl.

Spanish Assasin: Abby played a dumb blonde well, and Jude was sexy and funny.

Digital Short: I was wondering when this song from The Lonely Island was gonna be on SNL, since I had heard a lot about it. Andy Samberg is a freakin' genius when it comes to these things.

Weekend Update: Seth Meyers, like Andy Samberg, is a freakin' comedic genius. Kenan was nice as Whoopi Goldberg on something outisde of The View parodies. Seth looked effectively uncomfortable during that bit. Nice to see Jerry Seinfeld pop up too! "Really!? With Seth and Jerry" made me crack up.

The Twilight Zone: Jude did a good job, and Abby was a nice foil to his spastic character. Bobby was creepy and funny at the same time.

Hamlet auditions: Always nice to see Andy Samberg as Nicolas Cage. Bill Hader as Al Pacino and Jason Sudeikis as Sam Elliott were good as well.

Kickspit Underground Rock Festival: this was in Blake Lively's episode, and it was awesome then, and still awesome now.

Court Reporter: this was in Jon Hamm's episode. Fred Armisen had good lines in that episode, and he had some good ones in this one too.

Talk Show With Ravish: Nasim did a nice job in this, and it was a nice parody of late night talk shows. I hope this becomes a recurring sketch.

That's a wrap! Next week's episode is a rebroadcast, but it is one I have not reviewed, so I will write about it on this blog. Also, I will write about the last episode of Survivor, since it is not on next Thursday. And of course I will write about 16 and Pregnant and any other things I feel the need to share.

Love y'all,
