The show was stolen by Martin Short, as he is wont to do. I'm an unabashed SNL apologist and still don't miss an episode, and I was thrilled that the current cast was so well represented. They've got some real talent out there right now.

People complain too much about SNL. That was a quality show on sunday.
I have read online that my least favorite moment of the night, The Californians, is loved by people on the west coast and hated by people on the east coast.
I think that makes sense, and it made me think about how much people on the west coast have probably hated all those skits throughout the years about the east coast.

I've spent a good part of my life in California. I find that skit hilarious. Part of it is how often they discuss directions or locations. It's a characteristic of Californians (especially Southern Californians) that I never noticed before they made fun of it. It's very accurate, though.

I enjoyed the show. It was everything SNL is supposed to be: funny, messy, irreverent, sometimes not funny, and uneven. Great TV, in other words.

I'm a lifelong East Coaster who thinks "The Californians" is great. It almost always goes on too long, but it never fails to make me laugh, even though I'm usually thinking, "Why am I laughing at this ridiculousness?" Sometimes things just hit the old funny bone the right way.

NBC is showing this again Friday night at 8 pm. I missed it the first time around. I have the DVR set this time.

I can remember when SNL started. I didn't watch at first but did after hearing others talk about it. That first cast is still the best, IMO. If you have the 1975 World Series videos they mention this new show on Saturday nights. The show has ebbed and flowed over the years. Some casts weren't very good at all while some where terrific. Its amazing how its endured and stood the test of time.

Norm Macdonald gives a really cool behind the scenes look at the week at SNL. Explains the Eddie Murphy thing.

Yep, I read that too. Great stuff.
Murphy would have brought the house down if he did his Cosby impression. Keenan Thompson took it as far as he could, which of course, wasn't very far. Norm said it best. Eddie just doesn't need the laughs anymore, and didn't want to kick Cosby when he is down.
