Yea, I don't know who Jessie J is either, and who really cares? Nobody right?! Woo! Let's get on with it. Cold Open was March Madness themed, as in, crazy people! not bad, but let's get to the monologue:
I think this is, hands down, the funniest monologue I've ever seen.(at least of the last decade) I mean, there have definitely been some solid ones in the past, but I can't remember the last one that had me laughing as much as I did...especially when Zach started dancing across the stage, in bobby socks!!! Not to mention the underwear, the whole thing is just, amazing. (and the Annie bit made me think of Andy Kaufman, and since it did here's a clip of him on SNL in the 70s!)
Also, I have to say God Bless Funny or Die, because NBC/Hulu couldn't put the entire monologue up due to royalties for the Annie song. The youtube vids were awful, and it took a tiny bit of searching, but I found it!!!! (Not to beat a dead horse or anything, buuuut if I've said it once, I'll say it a million times: THERE ARE REASONS YOU WATCH THE FUCKING SHOW LIVE ON TV!!!!!!! kthx!)
There was a View-like tv show, called "the talk" which was heavily reliant on Abby Elliott, sooo needless to say, I wasn't that impressed. Zach was great in it, as was Nasim but, didn't save it.
This next one I appreciated immediately, and just got funnier the more times I watch it:
Love the clothes they're all wearing, and I think my favorites are the friends they bring along. Yay! Welcome Seth back to the world of sketches!!!! Boston Powers, yes!
Then we had one of my personal favorite recurring sketches, Scared Straight:
"Watch Yourself Punk! You won't be Home Alone, you'll be in Prison, Getting Boned!" and that's not even the best line.
Digital Short: Zach looks for a New Assistant:
Kids say the darndest things!!! I love the tired looking kid: "Not funny, Not funny, Not funny, Kinda funny"
Jessie J, featuring B.O.B (so great there's no video from NBC)....So on to Update!
As usual, it was just a little taste of some jokes from the show.
Kristen Wiig came on as Julie Taymor, the newly fired director of Spiderman: Turn out the Lights.
Then Liam, the teenager who just woke up visited the Update desk:
I wish everyone hawk/person singing dreams!!! "Brohawk Obama" awesome.
After update, there was a fun sketch that had Zach as a dad trying to tell his kids that their dachshund Noodles died, without having to explain that it was due to auto-erotic asphyxiation...but of course he has to, and it's funny. aaaaaand of course it's not online, unless you want to see it literally taped off someone's television.
There was a Canadian Entertainment Show that was alright, but too long. Then we got a new commercial for Corn Syrup!
Nasim! Love her! Plus, I love Bobby Moynihan as a kid!
Finally we got a quick little show ender which put Zach in a dress and had him yelling at people. I'll take it!
Hader was great as the "baby" in this one too. Just a fun quick sketch, nothin fancy.
During the Goodnights Zach came out with a crazy Mr. T head shave. Last time he hosted, he shaved his beard during the show, hopefully it's becoming a super funny tradition!! Here's the behind the scenes:
So that's that. I hope that Zach continues to host every year, like Jon Hamm, he's just got great chemistry with the cast. He's not afraid to take risks on weird sketches either, which makes for a fun show to watch. Plus, isn't it about time we got some new blood in the 5 timers club? Justin Timberlake's only 2 episodes away!
SNL back on April 2nd all new, with Host AND Musical guest: Elton John!!! Maybe Horatio will make an appearance??? I know he's lost like a bajillion lbs...buuut....I'm not getting my hopes up
