Re: Saturday Night Live
I think the LDR album is easily worth $7.99
Yeah it's true Abby Elliot would get more screentime next season but she's suppose to be the main star in the Fox show. I think she's looking at Zooey Deschanel as a blueprint (Fox is also doing it since they signed Mindy Kaling from The Office as a main star on another show). She can become a much bigger star by leaving SNL right now if everything pans out.Comment

Re: Saturday Night Live
Took the ($8) plunge on LDR...so far so good. Really liking "Blue Jeans" and "Off to the Races".
This chance for Abby Elliott hinges totally on Fox's ability to both develop a comedy and give it a legitimate chance to succeed, both things they're obviously had issues with. If it were NBC or ABC I could see it being a good risk, but Fox is so knee-jerk on pulling things that I don't think it's worth it.
(Everything I said assumes Kristen Wiig leaves. If she somehow stays, I'd ditch if I were Abby.

Re: Saturday Night Live
I get it with Zooey. She had a following and was going to have both men and women follow her to New Girl.
Abby Elliot isn't Zooey Deschanel. She's hardly even recognizable unless you watch SNL, and even then, she's in so few skits I wonder if casual viewers could identify her.
That show needs to be seriously good for it to survive because she's not going to have people watch just because she's starring in it.
Minda Kaling will. She's all over the place. Once they put her face on something, people will instantly say, "Oh yea, I know her. She's adorable. I'll watch."
Not seeing it with Abby. But, you always take the role over the sketch show. More money, easier schedule, opens more doors."It may well be that we spectators, who are not divinely gifted as athletes, are the only ones able to truly see, articulate and animate the experience of the gift we are denied.

Agreed.
Lindsay is talented. She had great potential and threw it away with personal issues.
You give her a script and she will work it.
I think it's easy to lose sight of her talent (or what it could have been) because her personal drama is at the forefront of her image.

Re: Saturday Night Live
Lohan hasn't been relevant in years but I'm very interested in this week's episode. She has a good track record on the show and there's a lot of material to work with.
She should be counting her lucky stars that Lorne Michaels really likes her and is hoping she turns her career around.Comment

Re: Saturday Night Live
Wow Lohan was terrible. She was a complete trainwreck in the Scared Straight sketch flubbing a lot of her lines, reading almost everything off the cue cards, and not making eye contact with the other cast members.
They must have removed one of her sketches because they re-aired the Verizon commercial fairly late in the show.
She's only 25 but she looks at least 30 years old with a lot of bad facial surgery.
We also had another very unfunny Mitt Romney cold open.Last edited by VanCitySportsGuy; 03-04-2012, 12:32 PM.Comment

Re: Saturday Night Live
They also re-aired the Chantix ad. Combine that with the Verizon and yeah, there's probably enough time there that they cut a sketch.
When she had the red wig on in a later sketch it was easy to compare to her previous cuteness.She's only 25 but she looks at least 30 years old with a lot of bad facial surgery.
But don't you get it? He can't relate to people! LMAO!We also had another very unfunny Mitt Romney cold open.

Re: Saturday Night Live
I was rootin' for the Lohan, but that was a disaster...
Bad enough to be glued to the cue cards, worse when you can't even read them out loud fluidly...
Gots to be a tough day in her camp...trying to put a positive spin on that mess would be quite the stretch for any agent / manager to pull off...Comment
