So, I am of the opinion that much of SNL lately has not been that funny...in fact, it has been pretty damn bad! A few skits here and there usually starring Kristin Wiig (Canandaigua native, woot! woot!)seem to be providing us viewers with the hope of something funny yet to come, so we keep faithfully watching week after week. And yet, week after week, the show seems to disappoint...they are in a real slump. This past week, however, I have to say the show was pretty damn funny (if you were able to watch on fast forward and skip the not so funny stuff..ah hem bidet...)....mostly due to Zach G...who seemed to be somewhere out in left field, operating on another plane, reading the teleprompter way too much and sill stumbling over his lines. He looked like he was kind of stinky and at times really uncomfortable, but I think that is his appeal, he is kind of that awkward, creepy guy who might be harmless, but might also be the perv next door, you really can't tell...he comes across as being raw (as in unpolished) and he was really, really funny. The opening monologue was so oddly funny, it was refreshing in a way (oh your out of that? how about Wolf Blitzer at Burning Man; I have just returned from Canada opening for Miles Davis, I mean, Kilometer Davis--funny stuff!) and definitely funnier than Ashton in his undies, which, clue phone!, was not funny. The rest of the show had its moments...the kissing family skit was hard to watch, but really funny (some suggest they are loosely based on my family--we are very huggy lovey!). The 30 years of Zach on NBC was creative and hysterical--especially the Law and Order scene (pew...pew)...and then there was the flute player in that creepy beige jumpsuit...definitely laugh out loud funny all the while maintaining that slightly gross, creepy factor!! So writing this, I am realizing that perhaps I have just been surrounded by 6 year old boy humor for far too long and that may have been the appeal to me this weekend, it was familiar...silly, goofy, little boy, stink humor.
Things I Like...In my opinion, Zach and JT should alternate hosting from here on out!
