Yeah, that's her.Is she the hot one with the glasses who has the misfortune of doing Weekend Update opposite of Jimmy Fallon?
What are you talking about? I'm familiar with most of his SNL repertoire and I don't remember him doing anything like that on the show; the only thing I can recall was the "very badly burned" bit from the first Austin Powers movie, which I thought worked very well (I was in 8th grade when I saw it, and was laughing uproariously). And his exchange with Jon Stewart in J&SB was priceless. Have you seen any of the sketches I mentioned?He works in small doses. I thought Anchorman was terrible save for a few parts, and he was totally worthless in Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back. He does the exact same jokes over and over. If it's not some ridiculous slap-stick thing, it's him dragging on about something obvious like, "Oh my head hurts, it really hurts, oh my god it's hurting, someone help me, oh my god my head hurts, I'm losing blood," (this sequence will continue for 15 minutes).
Nonsense. Take a look at the lists of special guests during the early years - comedians made up a minority then, just as they make up a minority now. And the monologue has always been hit-and-miss - if you go back and watch 70's episodes, you'll find that the bad ones are just as bad if not worse than the bad ones they have today. The problem with SNL now isn't bad monologues, it's the fact that virtually every goddamn sketch they do falls flat on its face.The problem now is that their hosts suck, their writers suck and they take no chances. When the show first started out, there were actually talented comedians hosting it, and their monologues were worth watching. Now, every "monologue" by some actor promoting his or her latest movie turns into some stupid affair involving the cast. When Chris Rock hosted it, it was like a breath of fresh air.
Oh, come on, Sandler is a bit more divisive, but you gotta give David Spade credit for Hollywood Minute at the very least. I mean, he coined the phrase "I liked it better the first time, when it was called <insert movie being ripped off>"And I honestly don't credit Sandler or Spade with anything good in SNL. Sandler is comedy for 15 year-olds, and Spade is now carrying around a giant void of humor about the size of Chris Farly everywhere he goes.
Chevy Chase has made some truly bad movies, but his ratio is a little better than that. Vacation, Fletch, Caddyshack, Christmas Vacation, and Spies Like Us are all funny movies. And Aykroyd's greatest accomplishment is The Blues Brothers, don't forget about that!Sure. Chevy Chase, Dan Akroyd, Bill Murray and all those guys were all writers for SNL, if memory serves. Of course, Chevy Chase became an embittered asshole who went on to make 1 good movie out of about 50,000, but Akroyd and Murray went on to make Ghostbusters.
Dave Chappelle was also a writer for SNL. The Daily Show has also picked up some talent from SNL - A. Whitney Brown, a Kilborn-era man, was a writer, and Steven Colbert wrote for SNL too.
