Live From New York, An Unforgettable Show


Maya Rudolf gave the world an unforgettable show this past Saturday! She is the best host since Jimmy! I wish she never left SNL... 

The cold open for those who know about Linsanity that is taking over New York. This sketch captured all of the Linsanity puns as well as the media's decision that it's ok to use Asian stereotypes. It turned out to be a great cold open, something we haven't seen in a while. The two black anchors run with the Asian jokes until Taran Killam's character makes a black joke and Kenan's and Jay's characters give him hell.

Watch Here:

I love when people sing in their monolouge! Maya serenaded with an original song, "Do You Want To Funk?" She sung while walking through the backstage where who else but STEFON appears!!

(It's not on youtube but you can find it on NBC.com)

When Maya was on Late Night Thursday and told Jimmy that Amy was going to be on the show I knew there had to be a Bronx Beat sketch!! What made it even better was a suprise appearence by Justin Timberlake!!!!!!!!!! Him and Andy played crew members who were guests. They turned the tables and bantered to Maya and Amy and said how much they loved them. No one can banter as well as Maya and
Amy but hey, they were pretty good! 

Watch Here: 


The Jay-Z and Beyonce's baby sketch was the best of the night by far! Everybody hit their impressions spot on. I loved when Brad and Angelina (Taran and Abby) tried to steal Baby Blue! The best part of the sketch was when Justin Timberlake as Bon Iver sang and then fell asleep and Maya said, "Oh no, Bon Iver sang himself to sleep." I couldn't stop laughing throughout this whole sketch!

(This sketch isn't on youtube but you should def find it because it is a must see)

Weekend Update was at its best because none other than Amy dropped by for "Really!?! With Seth & Amy! They discussed Congress's all male meeting to discuss birth control.

(Again, not on youtube)

The Super Money Showcase sketch made me laugh, not because of the content, but becaus Bill and Kristen were cracking up! They pulled a classic Jimmy. The sketch was Maya and Kristen talking in weird voices and doing weird things as showcase models.

(not on youtube. DAMN them!)

The Obama Show sketch was a a parody of The Cosby Show. Fred brought back his Barack Obama impression while Maya introduced her Michelle Obama impression.

(not on youtube)

Sleigh Bells was the musical guest. I thought they weren't good at all. You couldn't even hear what the lead singer was singing. If that's their style, well it's not for me.
