I know most people will have heard of Saturday Night Live, the venerable weekly American comedy variety show, mostly in reference to it's famous alumni. It has a truly immense list of people who have been a part of the show, and gone on to do great things. John Belushi, Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd(His batteries have gone a bit funny over the last decade or so, but he's had a good run.). It's also produced some people I could really do without. John Lovitz. Adam Sandler. Rob Schneider. So, to me, it has a hit-and-miss record. The same is true of the show, which is sometimes capable of making me laugh pretty hard, but a lot of it makes me wish they had a script editor to cut out the not funny. Surprisingly, one of the people who usually makes me laugh most out of the current cast, is former kids tv star Keenan Thompson, of "Keenan and Kel". Man I hated that show. Except the terrifying dad, who I remembered from the original version of "Dawn of the Dead". Hit or miss, without fail so far since I started watching it, the funniest part for me is the "Weekend Update" section, featuring Seth Myers behind a desk, going along the same lines as Jon Stewart on "The Daily Show". Aaaaaand I was hoping to provide a clip of said segment, but NBC hate you, so I can't. Look, that's the NBC webplayer below. See? Hate you.
