Mr. Rob, which lead to one of the greatest stand up comedy bits of all time. <iframe width="420" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/5lVYQYcPDH0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>Comment

Re: Saturday Night Live
Started off slow tonight. Monologue was decent, but the Seahawks talk show and the Miss Trash competition sucked. After that, I thought it really good.
I hate when the show runs short and they fill the time with a long commercial at the end so it was cool to see the longer goodnights tonight instead.Comment

Re: Saturday Night Live
Has anyone else been watching the marathon on VH1 Classic?
Catching up on a lot of the 80's/early 90's episodes I'd never seen and noticing the jokes are as hit-or-miss as any other time, but the talent level of the cast is good enough to bring it up. There is a huge reliance on recurring characters, which could be good or bad depending on your prerogative. Stuart Smalley and Hans and Franz drag on more than I remember, but I hadn't seen Pat in a while and still think that's funny.
One of the things I most notice (now that I'm older while watching) is how free-flowing the older stuff is. In comparison, the new stuff seems too scripted or trying to be too perfect. Obviously the old stuff was scripted, but the delivery is more natural. I don't know if that's a talent thing, or a rewriting thing where the cast doesn't have time to memorize new lines, or whatever.
You also get a feel from watching the old stuff that they were probably not as worried about offending people. Sign of the times, I guess.
Not liking Kevin Nealon on Update. Awkward delivery and rushes through a lot of jokes.Comment

Re: Saturday Night Live
Last night's rerun of the Carlin episode form 1975 (run in it's original entirety) was a nice reminder of how counterculture the show truly was and felt at the time...
And yes, I saw it the first time...
Two musical guests doing two songs each, two stand ups and a few "opening monologue" style segments with Carlin, in addition to a much more "live theater" (as opposed to live TV) vibe, was a welcome change of pace from the formula they eventually ended up with, IMHO...Comment
