Thread: SNL with Host Betty White

Didn't watch all of it last night, but It did get some laughs... the "Muffin" skit was funny...

Was better than I thought it would be. Not because of her...but rather the poor writing that has prevailed this year.

I think the guest host make a huge difference. One that can pull off stuff successfully makes a huge difference. It lets the writers do more. Some hosts I think hamper the writers too much. Plus the guest host can have their own suggestions, and if they are an experience comic they can really help.

Funny clips up...
Saturday Night Live - Census - Video - NBC.com

A terrible show. Bad Writing and the worst cast since the 1980's. And did you see all of the screw ups during the Census Skit? Tina Fey wasn't even making eye contact with Betty White. She's reading from cue cards the whole time. No rehearsal anymore? Then at the end you see the cue cards when the door opens . The ratings must be in the toilet most of the time for SNL

Somehow, I'm not surprised you would take that stance, since you find Jay Leno funny. Unless you're lying again, of course...

Best show of the season, not just because of Ms. White, but having the female alumni members there allowed them to reprise some funny sketches from the past. NPR was good and Maya Rudolph's Whitney Houston was spot on....

...hey, that's because Jay Leno is indeed much more talented than Angry David Letterman and Conan O'Whinen.

I no longer watch SNL due to the poor writing and god awful cast, but I did watch the Betty White episode and thought the episode was pretty good. It's too bad they'll be back to the stinkfest next week.

I thought Saturdays show was the best edition in YEARS.

When are they having Abe Bagoda on?

You need to stop the personal attacks and stick to the subject of the thread. If you found the show funny that's ok, but most find SNL to be hitting rock bottom.
