Could be the greatest ever, Mick Jagger doing a great job hosting with Arcade Fire, Foo Fighters and Jeff Beck, with a great sendoff to Kristen Wiig via "Ruby Tuesday", hope you guys saw it.
Yup, VERY good ep. They always pull off the season finales well. On top of all that Bonnaroo got mentioned as well in the "So You Think You Can Dance at an Outdoor Music Festival" sketch....
-When I Hear My Name -Dead Leaves and the Dirty Ground -Blue Orchid -Passive Manipulation -Red Rain -Death Letter -My Doorbell -Hotel Yorba -Same Boy You've Always Known -Lovesick -Little Ghost -We're Going to Be Friends -The Hardest Button to Button -Black Math -The Nurse -I Just Don't Know What to Do With Myself
Encore: -Ball and Biscuit -Seven Nation Army -Screwdriver
WHAT?! The Californians is one of the funniest sketches they've had in years....the cameo by Jeff Beck was great too
That was Steve Martin.
The premise of the sketch is that they wear blonde wigs, give directions and look into a mirror. The only saving grace is that Wiig is adorable in a blonde wig. I think once was enough for that sketch.
I enjoy that sketch, but I'm a sucker for Fred Armisen doing weird accents. It's mocking Californians constant need to use street directions. Works for me.

I guess for me once was enough. I didn't find it terribly funny the first time they did it but I get that everything isn't tailor made for me. I don't know what was added by a second go-round other than thirty seconds of Steve Martin.
At least it's better than Armisen's Nicholas Fehn. That one has never been funny and they had to have dragged down Weekend Update three or four times with that schtick.

my bad, it was Steve Martin, had quite a few last night and things were a little hazy lol. Stefon did make a phenomenal appearance, much to the enjoyment of your avatar I'm sure.
Haha I love that one too. I can see how people would absolutely hate it though. It's all in the decisions he makes to be able to keep it going, not in how funny the actual premise is. The Kat and Garth thing was kinda the same way, the weird musical choices.

That sketch had me absolutely cracking up.
Willow Vance. Spliff Sanders. And best of all, Groove Willy wooking it with a trash bag to a Phish tune. ;D (I feel like I've actually seen Groove Willy at the Farm a few times before.)
Kristen Wiig leaving is gonna leave a HUGE hole it that cast. Am I to understand that Sudeikis and Samburg are leaving too? Bummer, big-time, if so.

Yeah, that's the expectation. They haven't made an official announcement on it yet. Samburg and Wiig are pretty certain. There may be a chance that they keep Sudeikis on an on-call basis through election season since he plays Romney and Biden.
I was, like, a freshman in high school when SNL first came on the air, and I've just managed to stay with it down through all the years. I remember thinking when Ackroyd and Belushi, then Bill Murray left, that it was just gonna go in the tank. (Actually, it pretty much did for a while. There were a few pretty unfunny years -- the Mary Gross and Tim Kazerinsky epoch, as I recall...)
I probably thought the same when Will Ferrell, Sherri Oteri, Jimmy Fallon, Tina Fey, and then Amy Poehler all split. Somehow, they always manage to piecemeal add several new players, and the show regains legs and rights itself. But it always takes a new cast a while to gel and hit their stride as writers, moreso even than as sketch comedians.
I had really come to like the cast they wrapped this season with, and will miss watching the ones who are leaving. Kristin Wiig, more than any. I just think she's flippin' hilarious.
I'm fairly certain that the Mary Gross/Tim Kazurinski years were my introduction to SNL. Actually, my earliest SNL memory is Buckwheat's assassination which is right around then.
The show ebbs and flows and there were some great shows this year. (Jason Segel, Jimmy Fallon & Maya Rudolph come to mind.) I'm sure next year will be interesting if nothing else.
Have you read "Live From New York"? It's pretty interesting and really well done. (There's no reason that I should read about something that I've known about for most of my adult life like Gilda Radner's death and still manage to tear up over it!)
I dunno. Some folk (i.e., you and me, apparently) seem to stick with it and always find something to howl over. Others who used to enjoy it kind of slide away after a while.
For me, it's just generally been a part of my own Saturday evening, and I've always considered it an interesting part of our cultural landscape.
