Dane Cook hosts Saturday Night Live

Cold Opening: The cold opening was a politically correct when it comes to the holidays and it seems like it was the first to feature the whole cast say "Live from New York, it's Saturday Night!" Jason Sudeikis played Harry Connick, Jr. Kenan Thompson was NBC weatherman Al Rokeer. Newcomer Kristen Wiig played Megan Mullaly.

Monologue: Dane Cook seems rather long in the monologue. Usually, they go 5 minutes tops but he's gone like ten minutes right now. Sure, he is a stand-up comedian. Hey, I used to be one! It seemed like he wouldn't stop.

West Bedford High School: Chris Parnell has the Drama Club perform the morning announcements. This sketch features Amy Poehler, Dane Cook, Seth Meyers, Kenan Thompson, Rachel Dratch, Kristen Wiig, Fred Armisen. This sketch was not that funny.

Taco Town Commercial: Is awesomer a word? That's a big taco! However, it's not kosher.

The Long Ride Home: The Jay Feely Story. Dane Cook plays Jay Feely. Kenan Thompson, Finesse Mitchell, Chris Parnell, Rachel Dratch and Jason Sudeikis are also in this sketch. Chris Parnell's character said wind doesn't help. Cook tries singing, and is forced to shut up. Gets interesting now, the pilot passes out. Safe landing for Jay Feely. Scratch that, the landing was bad.

(Next week: Alec Baldwin with MG Shakira)

Wool Sweater: The next sketch features Dane Cook, Seth Meyers, Rachel Dratch, and Amy Poehler. One of the new guys is in the sketch in a supporting role...Samberg.

Digital Short: Will has a beard in this one. Andy Samberg is the other guy. Lots of lettuce in this one. This was sponsored by the lettuce growers association.

Target Graceland: Rachel, Dane, Kristen, and Bill Hader are in this one. I don't get the point of this sketch at all.

Weekend Update: Bush speech on Iraq. Victory By 2047? Thirty-five pages on victory in Iraq. The Pentagon paid for stories in Iraqi newspapers? Rachel wore an obesity suit. World Aids Day was observed with some terms I missed. The tree in Boston was renamed a Holiday tree. A joke about the Xbox 3260. Ronald McDonald was charged with hamburgularly at Wendy's. A British man made a jazz record to chase away teens. The most literate city: Seattle. Michael Irvin (Kenan) talks about the latest incident. Wal-Mart poll: 56% think it is bad. The other 44% work there. Tree lighting joke.

Good Samaritan Hospital (44 Hour Coma): Dane, Chris, Amy. Dane woke up from a coma from a karaoke accident after 24 hours. Amy's character married Will Forte's character. She sold his car for $1. Oy, I'd hate to be that guy.

“Fight Back with Victor Ramos: Horatio Sanz, Amy and Dane in a sketch that I missed the name of. I completely missed that sketch as my mind was over at Long Way Home reading about Erin and Ben (Congrats, you two.)

Commercial: Rerun.
