As usual, the show blows. The sexual harrasment skit was mildly amusing, but that's it. Thank god for Beck.

So far, I've only seen the end of a Beck song and then weekend update.. and yeah, weekend update blew for the most part. I liked the "What happens in Atlantic City, dies in Atlantic City" part, but that's about it.. and Jiminy Glick is usually pretty funny, but not this time.. (he was alright)..
Dan said:Glick was on Weekend Update? As in, Martin Short, or some impersonation?
I've completely given up on the show. I used to always tune in, but not any longer. It's not even a consideration.
It was Marty.
As long as they keep hiring sports stars, STAY FAR AWAY.

Yep, it was actually Martin Short. And like I said, he was alright. Usually much funnier..
Yeah, the sports stars always suck. Andy Roddick? Jeff Gordon? Pathetic.
Anywho, I'll download Weekend Update for the Glick bit. On that note, I hear Jiminy Glick in La La Wood might finally get a theatrical release this summer. Hopefully that's true, I could really go for a good comedy in between all the big action films this year.

If you havent seen it, just picture any Kotex or Always commercial from the 90s but replace the grownup woman talking to the teenage girl with Michael Jordan.

I'm a huge Jordan fan and a somewhat big SNL fan, and I don't think I've ever seen that episode! At least not all of it.. I saw a "Da Bears" skit with him on it though.. is that from that episode or was that a special appearance?
That's the episode where he hosted.Biglesworth23 said:I'm a huge Jordan fan and a somewhat big SNL fan, and I don't think I've ever seen that episode! At least not all of it.. I saw a "Da Bears" skit with him on it though.. is that from that episode or was that a special appearance?

Yeah, that was from Jordan's night hosting. Go see that episode!

Did you guys know that Beck is a Scientologist?:
Link
After years of ducking the issue of his participation in Scientology, Beck slowly began making his affiliation public. In early 2003, under his original name, Campbell, Beck was listed in the COS's Impact magazine as a "Sponsor for Total Freedom," signifying that he had made a $5,000 donation. This money goes into the so-called "IAS War Chest," the bulk of which is used to fund litigation, dirty tricks, and Scientology's most vicious and anti-social behavior. In March 2004, Beck played at a "benefit" at the Knitting Factory in LA, which was advertised as a fund raiser for the Los Feliz Mission "which helps fight illiteracy and substance abuse," though it was not announced that the Los Feliz Mission was a Scientology mission and the funds were being raised for its establishment. Beck also performed for fellow Scientologists at a Celebrity Centre event in August '04. As of the July 2004 issue the Celebrity magazine, Beck's name appeared in bold type ----official recognition that he is a member.
Preparing yourself for the Beck interview
If you interview Beck Hansen you will probably be monitored and may have to agree not to discuss his controversial personal life. Keep the following in mind.
1. Beck is relatively uneducated. He has just an eighth grade education, and most of this education seems to have been in Scientology schools. He most likely has never had conventional education in science or health. This is by cult design, because lack of education makes a victim easier to manipulate.
2. Beck is likely unaware of much of the "wog" world around him. Hardcore Scientologists are typically discouraged from watching television or reading the newspaper, and are told that the media stories about Scientology "Are all lies" Many have installed on their computers supposedly innocent software provided to them by the COS that blocks a long list of key words, including the name of this website, names, and websites. Beck will most likely not be able to discuss the elections, the war, or the economy. He may never even have voted. A cult member is told that his primary purpose in life is to cross the bridge to "Total Freedom" and "Clear the Planet" - which means turn everyone into Scientologists. Hubbard states in Dianetics that only those who have attained "Clear" should be able to vote.
The offices of the Church of Scientology are highly compartmentalized. Individual members are rarely aware of what is going on within the Church. By keeping the compartments of Scientology separate, Hubbard ensured that no one would have a complete and true picture. So Scientologists generally have little accurate information. Scientologists are convinced that they belong to the only group who can save Mankind. (1) Beck is probably not aware of any of the abusive practices of the cult. The news he receives about Scientology from his handlers consists of carefully sanitized updates that offer only positive news and dismiss media reports as total lies.

The Jordan one didn't have a skit as good as Barkley going one on one with Barney though.

As I'm now watching this classic episode of SNL, I remember how hilarious Ferrel is on here.. hahahaa.. septuplets in a well..
Wow, talk about an article with an agenda.Maxwell House said:

If the article's agenda is getting across the idea that "Scientologists are fucking dumb," I'd have to say it's an agenda I agree with.

That about wraps it up for Beck. His new album is so good, too.
Apple Jax said:As far as "sports" stars go... you can't get much better than The Rock's episodes on SNL... actually had me surprised and enjoying the show.
The Rock = Actor, now, and there is a big difference between football and wrestling when it comes to charisma.

DrLazy said:Its amazing how much a good/bad host can effect an episode. Stick to actors. And good actors preferably.
For about the past two seasons or so, it hasn't mattered who the host is. The talent left on screen is weak (save for maybe Hammond) and the writing team is suffering.
I always considered the Charlton Heston episode one of the all-time worst ever. Anyone who's seen this one will know what i'm talking about. It was like he tried to have somewhat developed characters but just ended up reading the cue cards the ENTIRE time. I can understand that from a sports celebrity or something, but this was freaking Moses/Ben Hur...I mean come on.
I can't believe they asked him back. He sucked ass both times. He couldn't emote, his pacing was off on nearly every line, and yeah, his eyes never left the cue cards. Honestly, one of the worst I've seen. I was very surprised.Guzim said:Watch a recent episode with Robert De Niro. The entire time he was looking at the cue cards.

SNL has gotten so horrible. It is almost a satire of its former self. I agree that watching the skits actually makes you cringe. I am not sure why they haven't been able to find some new talented cast members.
They should go and hire some of the more underrated stand up comics on the circuit..like:
Brian Regan
Dane Cook
Dave Attell
etc. I am not sure all would agree to join the cast but I bet some would. The current crew is just not very talented. The black guy who played in the Fat Albert movie last year is probably the least talented of the bunch.

Incognito said:Terrible fucking show. Does Tom Brady have a lisp, or does he just naturally sound that effiminate? What a damn poofter. I switched channels after the first skit because it was so goddamn embarrassing.
A side effect of his evil gives him a severe speech impediment.
After hearing about this SNL show I am going to finally agree with the Republicans for a change. This Bradyvision is indecent and innappropriate for families. I mean, little kids are impressionable and when they see someone glorifying evil, it might encourage them to be evil too. I am generally for free speech, but not if that speech includes 'Brady talk'.

as much as i hate him and the Yankees, derek jeter did a pretty good job on SNL as far as athletes go. They really need to get Mike Tyson to host already. That would be fucking CLASSIC one way or the other.
