Hugh Laurie of House fame hosts Saturday Night Live with musical guest, Beck. SNL has had an interesting selection of hosts this season. Next week, it's The Best of Darrell Hammond, the first TBO for a cast member who is still in the cast.
Cold Open - Lorne Michaels (real) comes in to talk about the cuts and sacrifices, yet he drinks anyway. He has sold the first five minutes to a foreign government saying times are tough. Enjoy the paid address by the Kazakhstan ministry of information. Borat (Sascha Baron Cohen) appears and says how they like Saturday Night Live. He promotes Kazakhstan and their culture. Talking about selling kids to Madonna. Live from New York, home of the Jew, it's Sascha Baron Cohen.
Monologue - Hugh Laurie is excited to be hosting the show. He's calling the audience "sweet cheeks." It looks like he is going to start a song...or a lengthy monologue with a musical background. He says he is everything (lithium). He's explaining that English is also a nationality, not just a language. "Overly elaborate puns that may take you days to understand." The forecast calls for rain and sketches served with peas.
Most Haunted - Hugh Laurie is at Chillingham Castle, and is Derek A., a pyschic. Bill Hader (Stuart), Amy Poehler (Yvette), and Fred Armisen (Jon) are in this sketch. Lots of gas being passed in the room on playback of the tape. This sketch is in black and white, by the way. Once the light is turned on, they realize that the noise was Hugh Laurie passing gas. They upset Hugh Laurie with their over-investigation and he leaves.
TV Funhouse (Address from the President) - This is not fun with real audio. It shows a RNC ad. The ads are related to October 31st. Hillary Clinton scared even the president! Al Franken helped write this cartoon.
Wold Series on FOX - Joe Buck is played Jason Sudeikis. Tim McCarver is played by a dark haired Bill Hader. Pamela Bell (Maya) sings the national anthem. She's the Schnuck's National Anthem Winner. Nice to see some love for my St. Louis Cardinals and new Busch Stadium. Buck and McCarver look stunned. We go from the national anthem to "Take Me Out to the Ball Game." This sketch, as much as I love the Cards, went down hill very fast.
The Queen's Demands - Hugh Laurie is an assistant to the Queen. The Hotel manager is Kristen Wiig. Hugh Laurie starts listing demands of the Queen. He will not be there when she arrives.
Hardball - Darrell Hammond is Chris Matthews. Joining him is Ken Mehlman (Andy Samberg). Mehlman is not worried about a Democratic takeover, and then starts asking about incumbent senators. Matthews follows up with another poll result. Nevada Rep. Gleen Beasley is the "TCBY" strangler, and shows a picture with him. TCBY means Torture, Cut, Bind, Yolk. They keep showing other pictures, one with Jack Abramoff. John Wayne Gasy, Jr. is his replacement. Howard Dean (Suds) joins in the conversation. Dean says we can't be trusted on defense. Dean says GOP leadership will go down to Guantanomo. Dean wants to fight Mehlman.
Hugh Laurie sings a protest song - He mumbled something which is barely audible.
Beck sings "Nausea"
Weekend Update - Bush no longer using "Stay the Course" on Iraq, he's using think outside the bun. Border fence approved, downside is frisbees. There is now a time table for establishing a time table in Iraq. HRC has said that it's great that Obama is considering running in 2008. London is now the world's undisputed financial capital. Elections. Discussing his campaign is senate candidate Tim Calhoun, running for Senator of America. He's happy with Pluto being a dwarf planet and proposes Jupiter to be a Mexico planet. He does not approve this message. Freshman 15 is closer to 5-7 pounds. Seattle is now Welcome to Metronational/Metronatural (one of the two), formerly drummer wanted. Panama Canal widening is approved. Meth was found in Colorado, hidden in Elmo, who shot them 30 something times. NewScientist showed a new sex study where people had sex while asleep. Shaq botched a raid in Virginia. Vendy Awards for Best Food Court, last place is Mario's Undercooked Chicken. Commenting on Jersey's new law is a couple from Jersey, Bill Hader and Fred Armisen. Britney named her kid. New Jersey ruling was celebrated across the country including St. Louis (shows picture of Yadier and Adam after the Game 5 winner. Something about a bionic dolphin.
Emergency Hospital - Hugh Laurie is in drag. Kenan Thompson has a broken leg. Will Forte is a doctor. Maya comes in, looks like she's the nurse. Kenan refuses to be x-ray'd. Hugh Laurie makes a PSA says that medicine is noble science and that people deny medical care. This is supposed to be a PSA by the American Medical Association.
The Curse of Frankenstein - Frankenstein's monster is Bill Hader. Hugh Laurie is looking for Frankenstein. Hader tells them to go across the moore. They do and find Dracula (Suds). Suds asks them for a description. Back across the moore again. Hader then calls Suds again. Hader says the bolts are from a spinal injury. He says that he's a cobbler. A hand falls off and they stampede Hader.
Beck sings "Clap Hands."
Linder and Balls - Fred Armisen and Hugh Laurie are lawyers. Amy Poehler a person named Rebecca and is applying for a job. She was a legal assistant at a firm in Schaumberg, Illinois. Okay, the "woo" is getting out of hand. Phone rings, noise continues, she's hired and reacts like them. They reconsider the application and ask her to leave.
