Cold Opening – Fox and Friends
More “funny ha-ha” than “funny, OHMYGODICAN’TTAKEITANYMORE!” But, hey, I’ll take it. The digs on Romney could have cut a little deeper, but they did cut, and you know, I don’t think SNL necessarily needs to go the “cutting” route. Case in point: my favorite hidden camera moment was the Cash Cab segment: a show ripe for parody, and quite frankly, it is a little surprising that SNL hasn’t tackled it yet. Tim Robinson got the look and the feel of the Cash Cab host just right. Bobby’s Brian Kilmeade is perhaps SNL‘s currently most underappreciated impression. And thank you to the author of this comment on the AV Club for listing all the corrections: http://www.avclub.com/articles/september-20-2012,85085/#comment-657416064. B+
Convention Cutaways
Every cutaway killed, especially, of course, Joe Biden. Also, Fred is great with props. B+
Weekend Update
-The Jokes: Seth showed a bit of improvement compared to his material for the premiere. But, once again, alarmingly so this time, there were stories that were themselves so much funnier than Seth’s punchlines, especially the one about the moose and the bear. C
-The Segments: -James Carville: I never get that excited about Bill as James Carville, and then he is always excellent. I particularly appreciated the imaginary drumstick flying through the air. B+
-Drunk Uncle: This was mostly a rehash of Drunk Uncle’s previous ramblings. So: still funny, but I felt already familiar with these cracks. B
Okay, here’s a best sketch of the night for ya:
