The Little Brothers skit last night was brilliant.

REALLY disappointed there was no Shy Ronnie.
Everyone is aware that "Sutton Ross" used to go by "Sue Storm". Right?

I'm surprised no one is on here flipping out that Eli Manning referred to the Cats soundtrack.

Well it was mocking that he knew nothing about New York or anything to do with it ( Broadway, restaurants,etc.).

I thought he was awkward and cute. I loved the courtroom sketch and "What Is This?".

But seriously, SNL, enough with the damn celebrity "surprise guests". It's a cheap way to get a false reaction from the audience and is exactly the kind of Carol Burnett-type stunt that SNL was originally reacting against. Stop!

I agree it was what they originally were reacting against, but then they found the value in returning sketches, the occasional crack-up, and now celeb cameos. I don't mind them, because they remind the world that SNL is an institution.
It's a little creepy but it would be worse if you knew what you were talking about.

The cameos would be more effective if they were rarer, I think. Like Barbara Streisand's appearance in Coffee Talk. A true surprise.

"But seriously, SNL, enough with the damn celebrity "surprise guests". It's a cheap way to get a false reaction from the audience and is exactly the kind of Carol Burnett-type stunt that SNL was originally reacting against. Stop"

Ironically when I was making a drive back from New York, I went back into Julie Klausner's podcast with Mike Sacks about pet peeves and this came up because for Sacks, SNL was established as above that and how it is so PR coordinated. The Streisand walk-on holds up well imo, since I still get a chuckle out of it despite just knowing about it than actually watching it when it happened.

I thought Eli did good. Little Brothers sketch may go over the head of non-football fans, but there is still this issue with him vs. Peyton in the eyes of football talking heads that at this point is exhausting, grasping at straws.

Glad people now know how goofy-awkward he truly is and that he is also game for anything. Surprised they did not play up Taran Killam as Tebow beyond the motion capture stuff. Since he's new to New York it felt like it could have been monologue material.

I enjoyed Eli as a host. This was definitely not one of the best episodes, but I liked it. Plus, I re-watched the Channing Tatum episode the week prior and his Matthew McConaughy impression was very funny.

I really enjoyed having Ferrell back as host last week and it was also great to see Ana Gasteyer again. However, I was disappointed that they did not do 'Celebrity Jeopardy'. I'm looking forward to seeing how Mick Jagger does as host tomorrow.

The Ferrell episode started off so strong but decline FAST. For what's been a particularly strong season, this was one of the worst episodes in recent memory.

What?! I did not know this was Kristen's last show. Damn! Although, I am not surprised. She has been on the show for years and can easily do film and move on to other projects. Still, I hate seeing cast members I have grown to love leave the show.

Anyone know where I can get the sheet music to "Dammit, Pam"?

Aww, I loved Bill Hader. Jason Sudeikis is my other favorite. Hopefully some new and fresh talent will be coming in and be great.

Loved Mick in the Game Show skit and the karaoke thing too. He is really funny. I'm sure he's looking at cue cards- it's just not as obvious as some of the hosts have been- like Lindsay Lohan.
