WHAT UP WITH THAT? Questions spurred by last night's SNL:
  • Who knew Joseph Gordon-Levitt was THAT good a dancer? Seriously, the back flip was damn impressive.
  • Was anyone really asking for the return of the sketch referenced in the title? (Though one cannot deny the theme song's catchiness, or the enjoyable ridiculous randomness of Bill Hader's wordless Lindsay Buckingham in the sketch.)
  • Better random celebrity cameo in that sketch--Al Gore or Mindy Kaling?
  • Update started much later than usual in the show--not kicking off until the 53 minute mark, rather than around 40 minutes in (it also seemed considerably shorter than usual).
  • The show went pretty rapidly downhill after Update--the Thanksgiving sketch didn't work at all, and the "Woman To Woman" sketch seemed to me a painful effort to create a recurring character for Armisen. (Though the "Say Anything" sketch was awesome.)
  • How many sketches will expressly or impliedly be about Blake Lively's breasts or cleavage when she hosts in a couple of weeks? (Also, safe assumption we're going to see at least a Leighton Meester cameo, right?)
