I kinda liked it actually, but I can't remember SNL ever doing anything like that before

pretty sure i made that video at Six Flags Georgia on my 8th grade trip back in 1996, but the song was by Offspring and there might have been a rocket ship.

Kanye had a weird set up for her performance last time too, but iirc it wasn't green screen.
My wish for a whole 'Ellen' sketch came true!

the impersonation is good, but they really don't know what to do with it.

Was I the only one nervously anticipating Chris Brown walking out during that second performance? I just know that douche is backstage somewhere.
― Johnny Fever, Sunday, 11 November 2012 05:55 (eleven years ago) link
So when they run a pre-recorded fake ad as the final sketch, does that mean they ran out of time?

The featured ladies are sure getting a lot of screen time lately. Show needs a bit more Nasim and Vanessa.

Not having ever watched Homeland, that sketch was pretty much the impression I have of the show. It wasn't all that far off, was it?

Can't wait for Rhianna's star turn in Tron 2: Ancient Greek Adventure.
― 5-Hour Enmity (Tarfumes The Escape Goat), Sunday, 11 November 2012 06:47 (eleven years ago) link
Rhianna worked the greenscreen well, but she can't match Insane Clown Posse.

i had just watched homeland s1e1 earlier today and understood 98% of that parody & im not worried abt spoilers

Really sad Tim Calhoun wasn't running for election this year.
― dan selzer, Sunday, 11 November 2012 15:34 (eleven years ago) link
Tim Calhoun: [ meekly ] I'm Tim Calhoun. And I'm running for the office of Senator. A lot of people don't know who Tim Calhoun is. So I'm going to tell you who Tim Calhoun is, and why I think Tim Calhoun should be the next senator.
I, Tim Calhoun, am.. nice.. [ flips index card ] ..trustworthy.. genuine.. likes music.. dances.. [ very quietly ] ..aggressive. [ flips index card ] I have used a lot of some drugs, and some not at all. Mainly pot and beer. But a little bit of cocaine. I'm real sorry about that cocaine. But there are times when I feel like partying and staying up realy late.. and cocaine can relaly help you do that. [ flips index card ] I am not married. So muy sexual history is not relevant. But, if you must know, I had some babies. Mainly by black ladies. But some by white. And a China baby. [ flips index card ] I love whales. But they have to go. So I'm going to organize a whaling party that will not stop until all whales are dead. [ flips index card ] America needs another big lake.
In conclusion, and in summary, you can't spell "America" without "Tim Calhoun". And the letters R, E, and A. The End.
― dan selzer, Sunday, 11 November 2012 15:35 (eleven years ago) link
I am Tim Calhoun, and I am running for candidate for president for America. My candidacy is based on honesty, so there are a few things about me you should know.
(pauses to look at his cards)
I've been in jail. It's not important how many times, but if you must know, let's see, one….two…thirty-one times.
(pauses again to change cards)
There are times when I'm not gay at all. But then, there are other times, I'm so gay, it more than makes up for it.
(pauses to change cards)
Here's where I stand on the issues: I'm glad that drunk driving is illegal. When I'm drunk, I drive like crap!
I propose, that for scientific testing purposes, we breed a type of midget even smaller than the normal midget. We can call them, “Shetland Midgets”.
(pauses to switch cards. Much longer hesitation)
There's nothing on this card.
(pauses again to switch cards)
In conclusion, and in summary, read my lips: (lip-synchs a few sentences quickly) I think that says it all. Vote for me, Tim Calhoun, for candidate for president for America for goodbye!

the new women are all pretty good imo, love the spotlight really getting shared in the post-wiig era, i imagine one of them will break away from the pack at some point but it could be practically any of them.

It'll be McKinnon

you may be right. Cecily Strong is great too, though.

I don't like Anne Hathaway much, but her Katie Holmes and her Claire Danes were both pretty amazing. Especially that Holmes - she had it down perfectly.

I was on the fence about Jeremy Renner, but these are pretty fucking great

Why is the Ellen skit not on Hulu then?
― boxall, Thursday, 15 November 2012 03:39 (eleven years ago) link
music clearances, maybe?

The "your childhood home" ad was pretty spot-on writing.

I'm so short my sneakers are in my drivers license photo.

yeah excellent williams impersonation. not actually funnier or different than williams himself, just dead-on.

How did Taran Killam not break in that final sketch when Hader had his hands all over him?
― Johnny Fever, Sunday, 18 November 2012 06:07 (eleven years ago) link
He just thought about the previous 90 minutes
― Panaïs Pnin (The Yellow Kid), Sunday, 18 November 2012 06:22 (eleven years ago) link
Kind of shocked there was no Bobby Moynihan/Guy Fieri bit. And other than "your childhood home" and the drones cartoon, fucking dud.
― 5-Hour Enmity (Tarfumes The Escape Goat), Sunday, 18 November 2012 06:37 (eleven years ago) link
did not like the drones cartoon.
I liked the Stand Off.
― dan selzer, Sunday, 18 November 2012 06:37 (eleven years ago) link
Yeah, I thought The Stand Off was pretty funny. Your Childhood Home was too. Drones was lame.
Kenan was in the promos with Renner, but only made one appearance in The Californians tonight, right? What a waste.
― Johnny Fever, Sunday, 18 November 2012 06:40 (eleven years ago) link
I really wish The Californians didn't exist.
― 5-Hour Enmity (Tarfumes The Escape Goat), Sunday, 18 November 2012 06:42 (eleven years ago) link
almost died during the first californians but yeah it's done
― Gukbe, Sunday, 18 November 2012 06:48 (eleven years ago) link
I would stan for The Californians. Before the last two.
Until the morgue sketch I think the comedic high point was Tim Robinson in drag during the Petraeus sketch. I feel like everyone's timing was a little bit off tonight or something.
― Metal Archies (GOTT PUNCH II HAWKWINDZ), Sunday, 18 November 2012 11:56 (eleven years ago) link
Killam is a total pro.
― Jake Roo (jaymc), Sunday, 18 November 2012 16:04 (eleven years ago) link
I think Hader must've made a bet with Killam or something, because he also tried to get him to break in The Californians (the drawn-out "yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyou").
― 5-Hour Enmity (Tarfumes The Escape Goat), Sunday, 18 November 2012 17:54 (eleven years ago) link
