xpost It's really not that complicated: Sudeikis is pretending someone is pulling him by his ear.

I thought Psychic Awards was funny, but man everything involving Lohan is just a travesty.

Yeah, maybe you don't want the first time you've acted/performed in years to be on live tv?

I liked the "Real Housewives of Disney" skit with Lohan in it

Yeah, that was prob best of the night. Of course, it was prerecorded.

I kept wondering why Jimmy Fallon was there -- usually cameos in the monologue are a bit more purposeful than "hey, it's an ex-cast member w/no relationship to the host" -- and then I watched Thursday's episode of Late Night, in which LiLo begged Jimmy to drop by. He was like, "OK, sure, whatever."

all i saw was the scared straight bit. it wasn't very good. the best part was sudeikis and the rest of them breaking at the end. did i miss anything?

does jon hamm have some relationship with lohan? think the purpose of cameos is to reninforce the anything can happen vibe in order to get people to watch.

The only sketch that really made me laugh was the 'weird guy by a fire' bit at the end.

Backups in case she didn't show up, or passed out backstage or something.

She was so awful in that Scared Straight skit.

She was bad...but she wasn't any worse than Channing Tatum, for example.

otm, this was a better than average episode with an average (ie pretty bad) host.

John Hamm is also in a new movie written and directed by his wife that also stars Kristen Wiig and Maya Rudolph. So no doubt promoting that.
I thought the episode was OK, had some good moments, but LL didn't add anything, had very few good lines and was mostly a straight-man.

so to speak.
tl dr ! ! !
but i was glad to see that lindsay lohan seemed to be in good shape. the snl writers i can only assume are in far worse shape than is she. laughed more during the blood-soaked local news preceding it

Also, his appearance was a joke about the fact that he is a frequent and well-loved host.

Synergy, mang! They ran the ad for the film about 10 times on Saturday night.

thought this was going to be a discussion of the Neil Young / Springsteen thing. that was pretty hilar. or was that web-only or something? (I watched it on Hulu.) Fallon does a p amazing Neil impression.

That was on Fallon's show a long time ago, assuming you are talking about their cover of Willow Smith's "Whip My Hair".

Have they always cracked up so much at the end of the 'Scared Straight' skit when Sudeikis jumps on the desk? I feel like I've seen that happen before.
― boxall, Monday, 5 March 2012 17:48 (1 year ago) Permalink
It's usually Kenan's mission to crack up Bill Hader, but this time Sudeikis was the spoiler.
― Johnny Fever, Monday, 5 March 2012 17:49 (1 year ago) Permalink
It looked/sounded like Sudeikis knocked something over when he jump-sat on the desk; that's what I thought broke everyone up.
― Tarfumes The Escape Goat, Monday, 5 March 2012 18:31 (1 year ago) Permalink
they were just happy to laugh at something imo

The last episode that had a skit where everyone couldn't stop corpsing was another Lohan-hosted one:

Bill Hader as James Carville on the news segment was the best bit.

i only made it through the first 30 minutes of this, but i still feel hungover from it. isn't the show supposed to be front-loaded with the best bits? whatshisname's shepard smith bit was indistinguishable from his keith morrison

they really need to ditch the obligatory political cold open

Hader's done Shepard Smith before, but that's the first time I can recall them adding the "Psycho" element to it.

Holy shit, Scared Straight was so utterly awful and embarassing. Rape jokes really creepy and nagl in any context tbh
― Joan Cusack clumsily running into a water fountain (Stevie D(eux)), Wednesday, 7 March 2012 14:33 (1 year ago) Permalink
Yeah, but that skit is nothing new, its been around for a couple seasons now and really the only funny part is waiting to see when Hader breaks.

I've been disappointed that Lorne Michaels has relented and allowed his program to turn into "The Carol Burnett Show".

Most television should strive to be even half as good as The Carol Burnett Show, ffs.
― Johnny Fever, Wednesday, 7 March 2012 15:05 (1 year ago) Permalink
the orig point of 'scared straight' wasn't really the rape jokes in and of themselves, but to see how far from scary the movies they riffed on would be and how dumb the puns were in consequence. just busting out "you'll get aids" is uh taking the low road with it. not that they weren't prison rape jokes all along, idk why i'm defending this really.
― goole, Wednesday, 7 March 2012 15:48 (1 year ago) Permalink
I love how SNL writers think that prison rape is somehow different than "regular" rape and therefore totally OK to make jokes abt, especially if they throw in a character who mildly chastises them
― Joan Cusack clumsily running into a water fountain (Stevie D(eux)), Wednesday, 7 March 2012 15:52 (1 year ago) Permalink
It's not just SNL, tbh. Prison rape is considered funny throughout much of comedic tv for some reason.
