Even though there has been numerous bad episodes of Saturday Night Live, I seem to find myself sitting in front of my tv at 11:30 p.m. every Saturday night.
There's not one host and episode that can live up to the nostalgic show Jimmy Fallon put on on December 17, 2011 (besides Justin Timberlake). When they first announced that Charles Barkley was going to host the first SNL episode of 2012, I knew that it was going to be disappointing. I don't understand why the producers of SNL think that Charles Barkley is such a good host. I know the players and hosts read off of cue cards but most don't make it obvious. He stares at them!! I noticed it even in the promos. Really, you can't memorize "Hi I'm Charles Barkley and I'm hosting SNL this week with musical guest Kelly Clarkson"? Really?
Here are the highlights from this episode......
From the TNT sketch:
- Kenan Thompson's impression of Charles Barkley
- "I'd rather be watching Free Willy 2 than Kazaam 1"
- When Bill Hader broke up Kenan Thompson and Jay Pharoah when he said "We're all black friends!"
From Bowl Names:
All of it! I swear Bill Hader's Stefon came up with all of the names!
Watch it here....
From The Charles Barkely Post-Game Translator app sketch:
All of it! Even though it was just a way to make fun of all of the non-answers from coaches and athletes it was still funny.
Watch here....
Kelly Clarkson sang Stronger (What Doesn't Kill You) and Mr. Know It All. Both were excellent performances. She's good live!
I hate that when you ondemand the shows after, you don't get to see the live performances. Why is that?
ReplyDeletei know it suck but they cut out a lot of the sketches when they put it ondemand
