SNL 40th Anniv. Special - anyone else watching tonight?

If you're really good at the accent, then I love it. If you're not… It's just stupid… Cough cough… Taylor Swift.

I was sad to hear Tracy Morgan is still recovering from his car accident. Chevy Chase did not look good.

Anyone remember years ago, there was a black lady who was a cast member (Ellen Cleghorne)? She played an NBC page? She was so funny! I think that was her in the audience that was asking where all the black ladies were.

I loved her.  She had the best eyes.

the californians being made fun of are socal malibu types....but it is funny for us norcal gals...

Yeah he was rough but so was Paul McCartney. Jimmy did the opening with Timberlake.

I loved Jeopardy the most. It seemed to me toward the end that it was a TON of commercials. One shortish skit, then 5 minutes of commercials.

Eddie Murphy was a huge letdown.

Wayne's World - was great also.

Loved the Jeopardy bits last night! Who reads = whore ads and Let it Snow = le tits now (it's French! ) 

The Californians does make me laugh as long as they get the accents right. Sadly we do spend too much time talking about how to get from point A to B. DH is in LA a couple of times a week and when he is on his way home, he almost always tells me the route (110 or 710 to the 405, etc.) and if traffic is really bad, will phone and ask me to look at the traffic on his alternates.

There was some discussion online about Eddie Murphy. The question was why the big intro by Chris Rock only to have Eddie talk for 75 seconds. The answer being either he wasn't paid enough to be on the show or he feels his comedic career was 25 years ago and he doesn't want to ruin his "legend" by doing a skit that may not be seen as funny.

I was totally shocked by seeing Bradly Cooper kiss Betty White. lol Otherwise the California skit wasn't funny. I recognized some of the places they talked about so it would only be funny to people who know LA, but also their accents were dumb.

I also realized that I just don't find SNL that funny in general. 

Okay, I really don't get The Californians. I was thinking they were parodying the telenovellas? I no longer watch SNL because after watching it for 3 decades, through good and bad, I realized there was just too much that I didn't find funny.

I agree that some of the clips needed to be sloowwwed down!!!     I wonder if Chevy Chase has emphysema---it was sad that it seemed difficult for him to get enough air ...! When Paul McCartney sang, it was a bummer not to be able to hear his voice very well over the instruments....wondered if it was  because their mics were off---just like the Grammys? 

Did anyone else fear that Kanye would rush up to the stage and say something horrible to Maya Rudolph about her imitation of his "Queen B" (is that what he calls Beyonce?)
Just think---this was a LIVE show---he could've REALLY had a MOMENT....(said sarcastically).



Will Ferrelll--LOVE him!!!!!!!....Cowbell and Jeopardy and the music teachers with Anna Gasteyer!!!     I like "The Californians"; but this one went on wayyy too long.....it cracks me up the way they talk about the routes they take, etc...and some of you have confirmed that it's based on reality....funny!!!    Oh, and Taylor Swift's accent---it made me nervous for her....you could tell she was trying sooo hard!

Would've LOVED to see more Adam Sandler----his Opera Man song was wayy too short.  Also hoped David Spade would do his skit where he was a snobby receptionist ...."and you are.....?"
