Now I’ll be honest. I don’t watch Saturday Night Live often, but I do try to catch about one episode or so every year, just to see what I’m missing.
We’ll I did my yearly ritual last weekend….
Chris Rock opened the show with an antagonistic skit about George Bush. Chris Rock is always funny and he was worth the price of admission. Unfortunately, Rock was only a cameo guest. Then Julia Louis Dreyfus did her monologue (she was hosting), which was actually pretty funny, too. That took up a good half hour.
Then, SNL pumped out one stupid, unfunny skit after another. And it reminded me of why I don’t watch SNL any more, and haven’t for the past 20 years: they just don’t have 90 minutes of material. I found myself waiting for the musical guest, Snow Patrol, to play, so I could get my cross country skis and slit my wrists with them.
