IT MADE ME SAY "OHHHHH!": Last night's SNL had a couple of distinguishing characteristics beyond its general awfulness (though "People Getting Punched Just Before Eating" had its moments):
  • The host did almost no comic material. In fact, Bon Jovi wasn't even in almost half of the sketches, and of the ones he was in, he only twice played someone other than "Jon Bon Jovi." There were also a disproportionate amount of material that involved only one performer, like the Al Gore and Dane Cook bits.
  • Musical Guest? One song. Host? Two songs. Why not just make JBJ host and the band the musical guest, rather than waste the Foo Fighters?
  • Jack Nicholson breaking his "I don't do TV" rule to say goodnight. Why? Who knows?

Show goes into reruns until November sweeps, when we will, for reasons unbeknownst to man or beast, get Brian Williams to say "Ladies and Gentlemen, Feist!" In more interesting news, to promote Superbad on DVD, Jonah Hill will host on November 17. I'd prefer a Hill/Cera co-hosting, but that still could be amusing.
