    Re: Saturday Night Live

    Eli doesn't have comedic delivery like Peyton does, but he tried, and that's worth something.

      He made a play on Peyton's United Way sketch from 2007, did a Farve'esqu sexting fiasco skit, and a Madden motion cap skit amoung others. He wasn't bad but SNL in general has been pretty weak for years.
      I really liked those two.

        I thought Eli did great. I really wasn't expecting much though, so I was pleasantly surprised.

          I loved the part when he threw the grenade during the madden skit.

            The courtroom skit was hilarious.

              Aside from the last two sketches (Drag queen & Essentials), I thought the show was pretty good. Eli was obviously terrible at reacting with a live crowd (in terms of pausing for applause/laughter), but his enthusiasm for everything covered up a lot of his nervousness. Definitely better than some of the people who act for a living that have hosted recently.

              Honestly surprised that we didn't get another Kristen Wiig regular character as part of her (apparent) final episodes. I could see the Will Ferrell episode having Target Lady one more time. What else does she have left to do? ...Penelope? I wouldn't mind an Aunt Linda/Judy Grimes on Weekend Update. Would actually love to see Virgania Horsen - thought that was hilarious.

              With Sudeikis also probably gone, can we PLEASE get one more A-Holes sketch?

                Was it just me or did the show really crap out after Update? Strong first hour though.

                  Gotta say I'm looking forward to next season without Wiig. For every good skit she is in she has 3 that are horribly unfunny and drag on forever.


                  I wish Armisen were leaving too.

                  I wish Abby Elliot were staying.

                    Wait, Elliot's not staying? That sucks. Missed everything last night except the last sketch.

                      I think Elliott's staying because she got kicked off whatever pilot she was attached to.

                      Still seems that the leaving rumors only extend to Wiig, Sudeikis, and Samberg.

                      I think everything should be on NBC.com/Hulu - except this, obviously with the rights for music playing.

                        She is going to be in a sitcom on Fox. Sounds like career suicide to me but I hope it works out for her.

                          Thought the exact same thing. Usher's last performance, the broadway skit, and the funkytown skit all were bad IMO

                            For a Will Ferrel episode I was disappointed. More proof the writers don't know how to use a host anymore.

                            How in the world is Ferrel there and the only character we get is W?

                            Huge waste of opportunity. What I don't understand is why the writers don't use old nostalgic characters to introduce new ones.

                            Also how in the bleeping heck do you use the W character and do everything to avoid having him speak to Obama. Really?!

                              Yeah, this election cycle has been pretty crazy, surprised there wasn't a Romney-Bush-Obama sketch of some kind. Guess they'll lay into all of that when they return.

                                Really disappointed in the episode for all the reasons CMH said.

                                That said, once again "Get in the Cage" was absolutely hilarious.
