I have been digging SNL so hard this year. Everyone was so quick to write it off, but the show has always gone through highs and lows and now it looks like we're beginning to see another high period. They've definitely benefited from the election and how much Tina Fey looks like Sarah Palin. That stuff made them somewhat relevant again. And they are going to be in a bit of trouble now that Amy Poehler's gone. But I'm confident they'll recover. This past weekend's show with Mad Men's Jon Hamm was the best in a long time. Vincent Price's Halloween Spectacular and The Finger Guy and John Hamm's John Ham were all priceless bits of funny.
The cast needs some work, there's some dead weight hanging around. But in terms of just making me laugh, SNL has been doing a pretty good job of it lately. Saturday Night Live throughout the nineties was always very hit-or-miss, but I still loved it. And now I think I'm ready to love it again.
So is anybody else watching the current incarnation of SNL? What do you think of the cast? Does the show make you laugh?
