SNL doing election fraud now!! :-)

[The Witch]

Al Gore: "For the record I didn't lose to him."

John Kerry: "There's some evidence that I didn't either."

Al Gore: "No, you definitely did."

:rofl:

[helderheid]

1. OMG OMG OMG THANK YOU!

THIS IS HUGH!!!!!!!!!! SERIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111!!!!

No seriously, thank you and thank God for Tivo! My husband is playing on the PS2 so I have to wait but I have it recording!

[Catch22Dem]

2. I seriously love Tina Fey

I mean, who doesn't?

[thebigidea]

8. I don't. Blegh, terrible. Awful. Presiding over the worst period of SNL

with all the great material they've had to work with over these past few years, their satire has been total shit. Nothing edgy or even funny.

[Adenoid_Hynkel]

19. agreed-yet why doesn't criticism make it to print?

other eras of the show were reviled by the press, yet this version (which no one i know likes) seems to always get a free pass

is it fey's celebrity? has a head wrier so mediocre ever had so much power on the show before?

word is lorne may be leaving at the end of the year and fey wants his job. i hope it's not true

[KakistocracyHater]

38. have you tried mad tv?

nt

[robbedvoter]

44. They are even worse (although they have much better comedians)

Their writing stinks to high heavens. What an insult to MAD!

[Common Sense Party]

42. She is not funny. I haven't been able to stomach SNL

for a few years now. The writers should be given pink slips.

It got pretty bad when MadTV was funnier than SNL.

[mwb970]

67. I check it out now and then.

I tune in. I watch 2 minutes of unfunny, embarrassing "comedy". I tune out.

Sheesh. I'd rather watch Tucker Carlson.

[iconoclastNYC]

50. If you don't think that SNL is edgy you haven't been watching.

Seriously. It sucked a lot worse in the past where every sketch was made around the hopes it could be spun off into some lame ass movie. SNL is nowhere near it's lowest point.

[TabulaRasa]

59. I prefer that to what we have now

At least they knew their place ... recurring sketches about androgynous co-workers. It's a lot better than them pretending they're cutting edge, when they're really sucking the balls of power. And the political sketches were a lot funnier throughout their tenure, than they are now. I still find the Clinton/Bush/Perot debates funny ... especially Bush's rant about being in the backwoods of Arkansas, with a guy who thought Dan Quayle "sure had a purdy mouth." "If that's the kind of progress BC's brought to Arkansas, I DON'T THINK WE NEED IT IN THE WHITE HOUSE." That still cracks me up. And BC's response. "That's just not fair. Under my governorship, Arkansas has gone from being 50th to 49th in the prevention of Rickets."

[thebigidea]

72. or gasp, maybe I have slightly different comedy standards than you!

I know, hard to believe.

[iconoclastNYC]

73. Look up the word edgy in the Dictionary and we can talk

[thebigidea]

76. there sure as hell isn't a picture of Darrell Hammond next to it.

SNL is a satirical butterknife.

[iconoclastNYC]

79. I think they do a good job

considering that they are owned by one of the world's biggest defense contractors.

[TayTay]

3. I thought it was pretty funny.

They did highlight that Gore and Kerry spoke out against Bush. That much has gotten out into the media. That's nice.

They are very tough on Dems tonight. I didn't care for the opening number, but tastes vary.

[FreedomAngel82]

4. LOL

Cute. I hope there's a video of it. Their skits on politics and other national items are hilarious. I love the guy who does John Kerry. I have one of him talking about Springesteen changing his song to "Kerry Days" or something like that. LOL

[rusty charly]

5. i think this show

is horrible. everything is going after democrats. hillary, gore, kerry. just "hysterical". there's nothing about bush to do this week? nothing about rove? tina fey actually asked "gore" if he was making his statements because he was jealous of bush? puh-leeze. this show blows. this writing staff blows (and i didn't even mention the completely meaningless not-one-laugh skit about cat fancy magazine)

[robbedvoter]

7. Thank you for the sanity. One person awake.

Not watching that myself. Satire- weapon of the powerless against the powerful. The reverse is bad taste.

[LA lady]

10. One!

Well, I did laugh at the "Purrlitzer" prize!

[Orangepeel]

13. I agree the Cat Fancy skit was completely unfunny...BUT it wasn't

completely meaningless. Peter Sarsgaard was in a movie about a reporter for the New Republic that was caught making up stories.

Of course, since I'm probably one of 100 people who saw it and I can't remember the title, it was ALMOST completely meaningless. ;-)

[tblue37]

48. _Shattered Glass_

I didn't see the movie, but I used to read Stephen Glass's articles in The New Republic. It was so evident they were inventions--I couldn't believe no one was calling him on it. But they were great good fun anyway.

[Orangepeel]

70. that's it!

I did see the movie. It wasn't good, but it wasn't bad (it WAS better than SNL!)

[robbedvoter]

6. What's funny in Gore's reply? Kerry won (but rolled over)

Am I supposed to celebrate the perpetuation of this lie? Is DU? FUCK!

[helderheid]

15. no. You're supposed to celebrate MILLIONS THINKING ABOUT IT.

[robbedvoter]

29. THINKING THAT KERRY LOST? celebrate? Are you nuts?

[rusty charly]

9. oy. regurgitating

"gays in space".

lovely.

[Mr_King]

11. I liked it...

Yeah they were making jokes about Dems mostly tonight, but we (unlike Repunklicans) can take a joke. Al Gore even made fun of himself when he hosted SNL back in 2002, remember the "West Wing" sketch?

I thought the Hillary joke was not a swipe at her unlike many other Hillary jokes. I think Hillary would have laughed at seeing her hair in braids.

SNL and other TV shows need to make jokes about Democrats. Because you know if they didn't the Repunks would just bitch and complain about the "liberal media"...like always.

[FreedomAngel82]

12. Sometimes you do have to laugh at yourself

I have the Al Gore on the "West Wing" set and that's one of my favorite video's! I love that one!

[robbedvoter]

14. Yeah, but Fey&comp are NOT US. They laugh AT US, there's no"ourselves"

Gore's show in 2002 was hysterical - mostly scripted by Franken. But this is shit and I am amazed how well you take to being insulted and being lied about. I am starting to understand our reps rolling over if you have such battered wives attitudes.

[FreedomAngel82]

16. If you don't like it turn the channel

:shrug: And Franken wrote the one with Gore on the "West Wing"? He did a good job with that.

[robbedvoter]

18. SNL is never on in my house - except for that Gore show in 2002.

I am commenting on what you enjoy - being smeared with feces by sophomoric little media airheads. Pathetic!

[Mr_King]

21. What about...

all the Bush jokes they tell? All the Condelezza jokes? What about having a young boy play Dan Quayle in the early 90's. All the Reagan jokes they told while and after he was in office.

They are showing a wire tapping skit right now. SNL is being fair tonight.

[rusty charly]

23. the NSA

skit actually ended up supporting the spying.

[robbedvoter]

30. Thank you. So much for "fairness". Satire should be pointed, not fair.

Pointed at power that is.

[Mr_King]

34. If that...

is the way you want to see it.

Yeah I'm sure there are many old ladies that really plan on blowing up the White House. That's the whole point of the joke!

I better not post this with the words "blow up" and "White House" in the same sentence, the FBI and NSA may break down my door tomorrow morning.

Learn how to take a joke. This is SNL not something on Faux News Channel.

[robbedvoter]

26. "Fair"? is this like "Bipartisanship"? or "electable"?

[Mr_King]

36. Oh my God

You are just determined to make this into something big.

[iconoclastNYC]

52. Best Condoleza Joke

Was in the Family Guy movie-the one about Stewey...he goes back in time to catch Condaleeza at college, with a huge 'fro and she's on this drunken rant about "the man" and she grabs this white chick and makes out with her.

[helderheid]

17. People who may not have thought about a stolen election ARE tonight.

YEAH SNL!

[robbedvoter]

20. Why? because "Gore" told "Kerry" - "You lost"?

WYF is the matter with you?

[helderheid]

22. Are you kidding??? MSM has BRAINWASHED AMERICA!!!

Not everyone is as informed as we are - this is a BIG DEAL.

edited to add I've yet to see this.

[robbedvoter]

24. You are the proof of it. You enjoy being insulted. Call it

"poking fun at ourselves" when it's tools ridiculing you into irrelevance.
There's nothing worth celebrating in this.
I am old enough to remember when SNL made fun of Gingrich, Raygun, Dole, Nixon - not the powerless.

[NaturalHigh]

31. Being pissed about SNL...

makes about as much sense as being pissed about Southpark. It's comedy! Can't people just take a break and laugh once in a while without looking for something to get pissed about?

[robbedvoter]

33. Actually, i am pissed about DU-ers enjoying being abused by SNL

I don't watch it. Just happened on this thread and hit the ceiling.
Humor can be a powerful weapon. It is used here against us - and most don't even notice.

[NaturalHigh]

35. I didn't feel "abused" by it at all.

The guy who does Al Gore is great, but the Kerry guy needs work. He does okay, but he just doesn't look enough like him to make it work.

I didn't get to see the opening skit.

[Common Sense Party]

45. I haven't watched the new stuff. But "looking like" the person

being satirized isn't, in my opinion, a prerequisite for being funny.

Chevy Chase looked NOTHING like Gerald Ford, but he made it work.

Hell, Dan Ackroyd had a moustache when he imitated Jimmy Carter, and he was still funny.

I think the problem today is that the writers just aren't funny.

[NaturalHigh]

53. I have to disagree with you on the Ford skits.

Chevy Chase has done a great job in some really funny movies, but I personally think he was awful as Ford.

[Mr_King]

56. The only thing

that bothered me about that was that he didn't even look or sounded like Ford. I mean Dan Akroyd wasn't that good as playing Jimmy Carter either but atleast he had a gray wig on and talked in a southern accent.

[Common Sense Party]

57. Did he look like Ford? No. Sound like Ford? No.

But he was funny as hell, just bumbling around, exaggerating Ford's awkward clumsiness.

[TabulaRasa]

37. Thanks for such a refreshing perspective, robbedvoter

I agree with you on your points. I think SNL is one of the worst things on TV. Every time I turn it on, I think to myself, "It has to have bottomed out. Could it possibly be worse this time?" And it always is. It's so bad it gives me a headache. I remember I tuned in one week there was a slew of Republican scandals, and I thought, at least this week they'll drop the Clinton Lewinsky jokes. Then a sketch came on with Delay and Frist a la Thelma and Louise. They pull over to pick up a hitchhiker. I was like, "No, they wouldn't. They couldn't" Sure enough ... Bill Clinton, telling Delay and Frist how their scandals are small potatoes in comparison to his. After all, he had a semen-soaked dress, and he still got off (no pun intended). I almost had a melt down. I mean, it's been 8 years you demented morons! Get over it. I've actually heard these hacks, like Tina Fey, Amy Poehler, etc., whining about how good it was during the Clinton years ... how under Bush, there's just nothing to make fun of. That was only topped by Lorne Michaels suggesting that Bush was a really difficult person to satirize, because he's so genuine. Are you fucking kidding me? Who are these people?

[robbedvoter]

39. "We've been castrated" - journalists said when W was installed

They, like Lorne Michaels knew: while during Clinton they were paid to attack the guy in office, now they are supposed to kiss up. Less fun. Same master, same project. Just less fun. Of course the illusion that attacking Clinton took balls merits an analysis of its own.
Thanks for the great info on Michaels & new team. I kept away from this so I lacked ammunition.

[TabulaRasa]

40. Oh and by the way

SNL has been mercilessly cruel to Al Gore. It's beyond reprehensible. It seems like every week they trot him out as the loser, dork that nobody wants around. He calls up Kerry to offer him advice, and is shunned. He tries to call the Bush squad to give them advice on how to run the country, and they're like, "Later, loser." It's infantile, and unfunny ... and incredibly mean.

I'm also convinced SNL is the reason Al Gore's not in the White House. While most people thought that Gore had won his first debate, the media spin machine was able to morph Gore's rather tame performance into the performance of a pathological liar and asshole. However, it wouldn't have stuck unless SNL had cemented this impression in the mind of the popular culture.

I also agree, the Gore SNL episode was brilliant. Expectedly, though, the funny sketches were the ones that the SNL writing crew had nothing to do with. The Bachelor sketch was written by his daughter (who also wrote for Futurama), and, as was mentioned, Franken also had a big role to play.

[robbedvoter]

43. Doris Kearns Goodman: "Gore is more fun to attack than W"

"Sure, she admitted, there were plenty of serious problems with W, but the "Inventing the internet" was irresistible"
Gore's and Kerry's caricatures - SNL did plenty to create a misperception of them.
And the fact that they are insidious enough that many DU-ers miss the point makes them more effective than Faux or so called news in general.

[TabulaRasa]

46. Very well put!!

It's the liberals (or rather wishy-washy hipsters) who are the target of their nonsense. And the whole idea of "fairness" fuels the process. You've heard the arguments here. "They're equal opportunity satirists." "It's not Fox News." First of all, they're not equal opportunity. They're much harder on the Democrats (and not for things they should be hard on them for, like their spinelessness). And second, they shouldn't be equal opportunity. If we were in Nazi Germany, would people want equal opportunity satire? One side is infinitely worse than the other. Suggesting that they're both equally ridiculous helps the Republicans. Look at their talking points about Abramoff(Democrats do it too). I've been having similar issues with the Daily Show. (Though that is infinitely better, as they actually do go after the Busheviks perceptively.) Btw, I have a slew of lame SNL political sketch stories, that would make you cringe for days on end. Just ask if you want to hear any of them. I must be a masochist for watching so much of this crap, but I am curious about what such a culturally powerful show is up to.

[robbedvoter]

47. Stewart attacked Belafonte for calling W a terrorist.

He had a whole skit ridiculing him ('stick to entertaining" - a la Colon Bowell.
I brought it on DU and I was stoned - unanimously. Stewart (who of course is way better than SNL) is worshipped here - and god forbid I criticize him!
I still watch the Daily Show, but SNL - ever since making fun of Gore AFTER THE THEFT - is banned from my home.

[TabulaRasa]

55. With Stewart

I think his entire thing is that he wants to make a show of being fair. It's quite annoying when he does it, but I guess you have to put up with it to get any good stuff. (Colbert's usually on mark, and I think the Daily Show is suffering from his absence.) In these people's minds, having a passionate political opinion puts you in the same league as Republican party apparatchiks. It doesn't. They're repugnant because they lie, cheat and steal to support powerful interests, not because they have strongly held beliefs. Having strong opinions and going to bat for them makes you a human being, as oppose to a spineless turd. But I don't think some people understand this fine distinction. And Democrats too love to make a big show of being objective. ("We're laughing at ourselves.") Well if you're laughing at yourselves justifiably, that's admirable. However, if you're laughing at lame, dishonest jokes about Al Gore being an asshole and a liar, who can't get over the fact that he lost the election "fair and square", to demonstrate that you're fair-minded, then you are anything but fair, honest, or intelligent. You're a weak-minded fool who shouldn't be trusted to carry the progressive/left banner.

P.S. You're a better man than I am for boycotting SNL. It's like a train-wreck I just can't turn away from. The Stewart moment that got me the angriest was when he had an entire segment ridiculing the Cindy Sheehan anti-war protests, for such reasons as Jesse Jackson wiping his nose during the protest, and Cindy Sheehan announcing that they were gonna meet up later at a different location. It wasn't funny, and it was offensive because it seemed to express the ethos that if you care about the world and the direction it's taking, you're intrinsically ridiculous, unlike hipsters like Stewart and his crew. Dennis Miller used to have a similar schtick before he became a right-wing blowhard. I haven't caught TDS much since then.

[jbnow]

62. Really I thought Stewart was making fun of

our ignorance. He showed Belafonte calling Bush "the greatest terrorist in the world" on Sunday and said millions of Americans support the socialist revolution of Venezuelan leader Hugo Chavez.

Then Stewart went on to say something like "really? really?" and noted that he doubted there were a million Americans who knew where Venezuela was.
I felt he was mocking Americans and rightly so. We are not too knowledgeable about the geography, culture or politics of other nations.

They did have fun with his songs, but it is impossible not to.

[robbedvoter]

64. No, he was clearly attacking Belafonte "over the top for a good will

ambasador". I like Stewart but don't worship at his altar. Neither should you. That one was ugly.

[Mr_King]

49. You know...

I'm just sorry that some of us DUers found it funny. I mean we just aren't as smart as you, I know. I mean you're just so smart and we who thought it was funny are like a flock of sheep, I know.

I must remember to start taking SNL (and MadTV) seriously and forget they are comedy shows and are suppose to make fun of people in the news.

We should all be as smart as you.

[NaturalHigh]

51. You aren't allowed to have fun.

Don't you know that you're supposed to be pissed off all the time? x(

[Mr_King]

54. Oh yeah...

I forgot.

I thought I was a memebr if the "Democratic Party" I guess it's the "Hate George W. Bush 24/7 Party" now. Or I guess it's suppose to be.

[TabulaRasa]

58. These responses are silly

They completely miss the points of our posts. Anyone who would accuse me of being humorless doesn't know me very well. I spend roughly half of my day cracking up at the ridiculous things that are going on. Hell, I find SNL hilarious, often. Unintentionally hilarious, of course, because it's so bad. My friend told me about an SNL sketch where they parodied Wes Clark by having him be like, "Ten Hut!" over and over. That's just hilarious for its mind-blowing stupidity. I laughed for like an hour; I could just picture it too. If you think that's actually funny as they intended it, God help you. Though, pretending to find something that stupid funny, so you won't be accused of being overly partisan or humorless, is even more pathetic. Democrats are often ridiculous. In fact, there are few on this planet more worthy of ridicule than John Kerry, the politician. But the hacks at SNL would never be able to understand why these people are so ridiculous. So they spew out their talking points, culled from the equally insipid corporate media.

[Mr_King]

60. Well...

fisrt of all I wasn't talking about you. Though I must admit like Letterman & O'Reilly (and I bet this little remark will get a reply), but I'm just not smart enough to argue with you. I know you are the one that should know what I'm suppose to like and not like. I'm not smart enough to be angry at this SNL skit.

I mean there are people (some children) that at this very moment are sleeping in the cold winter air within this very country because heating cost are to high, some don't even have homes to sleep in. There are (like myself) millions of people in theis country without health insurence. Some can't find jobs because the ones they had were shipped to Mexico, China, or India. There are more black youths in prison then in college. Universities are raising tuition costs and are public schools are under funded, and people still displaced and homeless because of Hurricane Katrina.

So excuse me if I'm not outraged and angry that a comedy show made some jokes about John Kerry, Al Gore, and Hillary Clinton. I like to think Democrats are more worried about these things then how some comedy show or the media in general portray Gore, Kerry, the Clintons.

Maybe we should be upset about more important things, don't you?

[TabulaRasa]

63. Sorry, I didn't mean to be rude with my post

I just get infuriated with a show that should be going after powerful interests who are the causes of the problems you itemized, instead chooses to make jokes about blowjobs and semen stains, and complains that there's nothing else to ridicule. And making fun of people who are trying to make the world a better place, because they're too passionate ... they're not sitting behind a desk cracking wise ... that infuriates me too. And then, bland, insipid humor doesn't really infuriate me. It just makes me cringe. That's what the likes of SNL, Jay Leno, etc. do for me. If you find them funny, I'm glad that you can take some enjoyment. :) Best wishes.

Btw, I didn't see the episode today and didn't even read the descriptions. I was more ranting about SNL generally.

[robbedvoter]

68. My handle tells you what upsets me most

I came to this thread because I thought: finally! A break! In fact, I confess, I even turned on the TV only to see that I had blinked and the "election fraud" theme vanished already.
When I read here what they actually said (Kerry lost) and that this statement made all of you feel warm and fuzzy I exploded - and still think my priorities are right.
I wish yours priorities and the Democrats in general would be as right as mine.
WHAT'S THE POINT TO SPEECHIFY ABOUT HEALTH INSURANCE AND JOBS WHEN YOU ARE PUSHED INTO IRELEVANCE BY A BROKEN DEMOCRACY?
Nothing is more important than stolen elections - NOTHING. WHY? because all the abuses and inequities - war, spying, civil rights abises stem from the dictatorial power lack of elections insure.
So, while I laugh at many things in my life, "kerry lost" jokes fail to amuse me.
And the fact that they amuse you is telling me that their insidious manipulation of the zeitgeist is working.

[Mr_King]

75. Oh I see...

So YOU are the one that gets to decide what I should laugh at. My bad I forgot. It won't happen again. I'm watching the movie "Life" with Eddie Murphy and Martin Lawrence right now, am I allowed to laugh at this your highness. Then again it is about two black men falsely accused of a murder so I guess I shouldn't laugh at this movie then either.

It amazes me we attack Republicans when they complain about all the sex and violence on TV. And what do liberals tell them "Turn the channel" or "Read a book and learn something." And that is what somebody should do when they don't like something on TV. That is why I blocked Fox News Channel off my TV so I wouldn't even see it when I flip through the channels. But yet you didn't even watch the whole sketch last night but yet you feel the need to talk about something you didn't see or just missed seeing. You're criticizing something you know nothing about...who does that sound like?

I was heartbroken when Kerry "didn't get the Presidency." We all know he won. We all knew Gore won in 2000. THAT WAS THE WHOLE DAMN POINT OF THE SKIT!!! You are the one that missed the point (or would have had you even saw the skit).

"WHAT'S THE POINT TO SPEECHIFY ABOUT HEALTH INSURANCE AND JOBS WHEN YOU ARE PUSHED INTO IRELEVANCE BY A BROKEN DEMOCRACY?"

If you think the Democratic Party has been pushed into irrelevance that's YOUR opinion. Bush didn't get his Social Security reform last year did he? Scooter Libby is out of the White House, the majority of America is against the War in Iraq, Bush's approval ratings are at the lowest they have ever been, America would rather see the Democrats in control of Congress, and Tom DeLay is no long leader of the Republican House. So I wouldn't say just because the Democrats are the minority party in Washington at the present time that we don't have a voice and can't get our message out. No we don't have the microphone right now but we still have the power to yell, and that is what we are doing. If we are so powerless and unimportant then "Democratic Underground" wouldn't even exist. The Democratic Party has better things to worry about then to be pissed off at Bush ALL THE TIME.

Myself, I need a break from hating Bush. I don't have the will power to hate Bush 24/7 for what he did in 2000 and 2004. We have an election THIS YEAR to worry about. Focus on that instead of being pissed off about 2000 and 2004. Where did hating Bush for stealing the 2000 election get us in 2004?

And remember this, what makes Democrats so different from Republicans is unlike them we have all kinds of different people in our party. And that means that you may come across somebody in the Democratic party that does not ALWAYS agree with you. That is what makes us Democrats! We actually have minds of our own....remember?

[SledDriver]

27. Brainwashed Americans won't get it...

and even if they did, they'd all say the same thing: "That couldn't happen here"

[MatrixEscape]

25. Heheh!

Oh, you are still paying attention to mass media like it da bomb?

WTF? It plays you with entertainment. You know, like that GREAT movie that just knocked you off your ass ... well, until tomorrow when your boss got on your case and you went home to the divorce your wife wants.

Back in the "good old days" SNL had some strong and meaningful political commentary that might have mattered. Now it is just the liquid stuff in your soup that might taste good but it does not manage to compete with the chunky stuff you chew on.

Get with it! We are a society swimming in a corporately-owned medium of entertainment, (that equals DISTRACTION) and your ears perking up on a cool spot are not going to do a thing at all because you cannot influence the money behind it all, at all.

Seriously, when was the last time a vbry good or appropriate SNL or even Daily Show skit ever did anything but amuse in your own base? When will they manage to change your world? I don't imagine ever. Oh, but you feel good, don't you?

[thebigidea]

32. isn't it a bit unreasonable to expect satire to change someone's world?

granted, SNL is absolute total shit which makes me change the channel.

Satire is lovely, but as Peter Cook put it when starting a satirical nightclub inspired by German cabaret: "those wonderful Berlin cabarets which did so much to stop the rise of Hitler and prevent the outbreak of the Second World War"

[derby378]

28. The only thing saving this episode from the toilet is The Strokes

This has been a pretty unmemorable episode. More effective than Ambien.

[Nutmegger]

41. Sad that the only outlet that will even mention election fraud is SNL. n-t

[Steve A Play]

61. I hate his scrunched up face!

I need to be President! :rofl: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

[Fox Mulder]

65. I watched it last week...

but that's because my girl was hosting it.

/dream

[0007]

66. Watch the freepers do back flips to get this program taken

off the air.

[Kurovski]

69. All the product placement has become annoying.

They have an entire recurring sketch set in a TARGET store? WTF?

The Kia Spectra and Rumplemintz were two other products mentioned. There might have been a couple I missed, and I'll end up buying that shit next time I'm in a store without really wanting it...

Blecchhh...

The bit about the hotel room/lost remote was fairly inspired.

The ads placed in SNL are driving me away, and I catch only 5-6 shows a year as it is.

[rusty charly]

71. they only DO

5 or 6 shows a year

[Kurovski]

74. They do around twenty a year,

but you were joking, right? :-)

[rusty charly]

77. yes

i was joking- just because it usually seems to be a repeat.

:)

[Kurovski]

78. Thas' exactly what I thought.

:-)

[Edward Copeland]

80. Remember when Dennis Miller was funny?

This is a little off topic, but since he is an SNL alum, I thought I'd post this here. I've written a short post on my site about his HBO special Saturday night, if anyone is interested.

http://edwardcopeland.blogspot.com/2006/01/remember-when-dennis-miller-was-funny.html

[Mr_King]

81. Dennis Miller will always be...

just a wanna be. He wanted to be the next Johnny Carson, wanted to take Johnny's thrown as King of Late Night. And like Merv Griffin, Joan Rivers, and Pat Sajak, Johnny squashed Dennis Miller and showed everybody Miller couldn't live up to the hype.


Hey Dennis, "ARE YOU READY FOR SOME FOOTBALL?"
