![]() ![]() Interesting idea of a Cagney and Lacey/Police Woman crossover. Mary Beth Lacey (NOD) goes undercover a la Pepper (host) Tonight’s overall Update was marginally better than the disappointing outing in the last episode, but that’s not saying much. Whitney’s overall Big Picture commentary from tonight was decent, though no particular comment really stood out to me, besides maybe the “history repeats itself” bit towards the end. The very brief writer’s block part of Jon’s commentary was funny. I like the visual of Jon as Stephen King. Some jokes have been working tonight, though. Like last week, some of Dennis’ jokes have been surprisingly weak and are getting tepid audience reactions. I liked the audience’s negative reaction to Dennis’ lame “Three Wise Men and a Baby” joke, followed by Dennis ad-libbing “settttlllleeee” to the crowd. Wait, that’s it? Victoria’s whole commentary is over already? That was short as hell and, while I got laughs from the rating system, it felt like this commentary was supposed to go further. Victoria’s confusing rating system is pretty funny. Stephen King (JOL) types rapid-fire while DEM interviews himĪWB draws parallels between deals with the Soviets & Native Americans VIJ’s star-rating system complicates her review of Three Men & A Baby However, while it’s probably unfair for me to compare the quality of this to a sketch that hadn’t even aired yet at the time, this pales in comparison to the aforementioned Baldwin/Wiig sketch. However, I can’t help but notice the similarities to a certain classic Carpool sketch the show would later do with Alec Baldwin and Kristen Wiig (the “Bobby McFerrin raped my grandmother” sketch). Pretty funny premise of every innocent comment somebody makes turning out to remind somebody else of a traumatic incident in their life. Why is this the first sketch Angie Dickinson is appearing in all night? I had almost forgotten about tonight’s host until now. I’ll try to see if I can spot her when reviewing that episode. However, I’m told that Brynn DOES appear as an extra in a close-up during a Sweeney Sisters sketch in the very next episode. This sketch opens with a shot of the same blonde female extra who I erroneously thought may have possibly been Brynn Hartman in the Wall Street Week sketch from this season’s Sean Penn episode. Guests at a party accidentally bring up each other’s traumatic memories Funny part with the Donahue audience’s disappointed “Aww”s when Raisa announces “We have no intention to take over your country.” Donahue listing off unpleasant things about Nancy Reagan has some laughs. Raisa Gorbachev’s (NOD) popularity bugs Nancy Reagan (JAH) I can especially picture this sketch appearing in season 9. Makes sense that Andy Breckman wrote it, as it’s reminiscent of the type of conceptual gameshow/talk show sketches he often wrote for the show in seasons 9 and 10. I like it gradually being revealed that Jon is losing on purpose. Jon’s repeated, increasingly-higher-pitched yells of “Ooooklahoooma!” are priceless. Funny walk-on from Kevin as last week’s winner, especially the line about there no longer being a chance of him having children. There’s the name Dale Butterworth, making it obvious who wrote this. Masochist contestant (JOL) gives wrong answers on purpose I really liked the randomness of this concept. The “constitution odor” voice-over cracked me up. Still, Angie at least came off likable and showed good enthusiasm for doing the show.ĭocu-Fresh rids your historical documents of constitution odor An extremely short monologue, where nothing noteworthy was said. Whitney Brown’s picture constantly changing this season? He’s had a different one in almost every episode this season. Great “Live from New York” variation, with Kevin’s translation of one Gorbachev statement being “Live out of New York, it’s night, this Saturday!” Phil’s response to Kevin’s long-winded, absurd, convoluted explanation was very funny, with him simply uttering a taken-aback order to “…….Get out.” He also had another fantastic line right afterwards, with his offended “Not ONLY have you disgraced the Fox Network…” Ha, now he’s making up stuff in his translations to cover the fact that he messed up. A lot of laughs from Kevin’s bad translations, especially him pulling out a language translation book at one point. Incompetent translator (KEN) covers his mistakes during Gorbachev speech Segments are rated on a scale of 1-5 stars ![]()
