Well, everyone said it, All Miley had to do was not suck as much as January Jones.....and she didn't! Yay!! Good job Miley!!!! There were even a couple sketches that she wasn't that bad in!! *GASP* I know, I couldn't believe I actually typed those words either, but you'll see.
Honestly, I'm glad they got it in and over with at the top. Bill Hader did a great job, especially since he was going up against the only person to do a better Sheen this week, than Sheen himself: Jimmy Fallon. Fred as Moammar Gadhafi was perfect and he had my favorite line of the sketch: "I have the courage of a lion, the heart of a monster, and I dress like Humpty Hump from Digital Underground" Also, Taran Killam was great as John Galliano!! (If you haven't noticed, he's quickly becoming my favorite newbie!!! He's gonna be a star I tell ya!)
A lot of the sketches, including the monologue, had Miley singing...soooo....I don't have a lot of sketches to share with you!! Although, if you're bored: Our Time with Taboo and apl.de.ap has silly dancing by Keenan & Andy, and Miley's singing is kept at a minimum.
Check out a quick Disney Channel Acting School commercial, which mostly I appreciate because Loudness is one of the lessons. But, it's great if you've ever actually watched a Disney Channel show. (RIP Kids Incorporated, Flash Forward, Mickey Mouse Club and more!*)
Then Finally, worlds collided (kinda?) when Miley met Miley...it was Pretty Cool:
I really do love Vanessa Bayer's Miley, and believe me, I especially love Sudeikis' Billy Ray Cyrus, just look at him:
Anyway, I love it, but Bayer's only a featured cast member, and I'm worried that the Miley Cyrus Show is going to be overdone by the time she makes the cast. She's obviously talented though, so maybe I shouldn't be worried and just excited about what other funny she's going to bring! Also, how spot on was Miley's Justin Bieber? creepy! Wait, has anyone ever seen them in the same room? Seriously, is this a real life Hanna Montana /Just One of the Guys situation?..... Just. Saying.
Moving right along to The Strokes: Under Cover of Darkness!
As I've told everyone, a million times over, there's something you get out of watching it live and not online later...like hearing Julian Casablancas say "Fuck it" on network television. While that's something I say, almost hourly, in my every day life, and who really cares because it was after midnight? I still get totally charged when someone drops a "Fuck" or when cast members break, just proves that it's 100% LIVE! and that's really fucking exciting. Also, Jules can get it.
Like always, Weekend Update brings the most laughs, and I wish I could just post the entire segment, but alas, it is only in clips. First, here's the highlights, including Winners & Losers c/o Charlie Sheen.
"I myself was a cute kid, and I look normal now, but everything in between was just knobby joints and patchy body hair"
We got some secondhand news from Anthony Crispino
"There's a wizard over there causin' all sorts o' trouble, Gandalfy"
And my favorite visitor: the Devil, who is surprisingly adorable. (I think it's the hair.)
"You just got Damned!"
The last few seasons have generally saved a lot of great sketches for the last half of the show. This was not the case for this episode. The last half was pretty low key, but it did bring us another Les Jeunes de Paris sketch....
I don't know why NBC doesn't have this one on their site (yes, I checked Hulu too). But, clearly the best part about these sketches are Nasim's dance moves. Pretty much everyone's dancing is great, and it's so silly and weird! Love it.
The last clip (from this ep) I got is The Strokes: Life is Simple in the Moonlight
I want those shades, big time. Also, have I mentioned Jules can get it? (P.S. The Strokes' new album Angles, drops March 22. Get pumped)
So, there you have it, wasn't a total catastrophe, pretty much what I expected. I would've liked to see a Strokes/Lonely Island collab. but Jules was on the last album, so probably not this year! (BTW, new Lonely Album drops...April-ish....or at least sometime this year! Woo!)
Finally, I leave you with the promos for this weeks all new episode: Zach Galifianakis with Musical guest Jessie J.
No, I don't know who Jessie J. is, but you can be damn sure the episode will be great.
*After listing 3 of many original Disney Channel Shows, I realize they probably warrant their own blog post, so BOLO** for that.
**BOLO = Be On the Look Out
