REPUBLICAN CONGRESSIONAL LEADERSHIP MEETING
John Boehner (DAA) & fellow GOP lawmakers misread the political landscape
— This cold opening immediately opens on a random Dan Aykroyd cameo as John Boehner. Reportedly, Dan was thrown into this role after dress rehearsal, because a dress rehearsal sketch he was in (a Jeff Montgomery sketch) didn’t make it to the live show. (Not sure if there were any other cut-after-dress sketches that Dan was in for this episode.) I think I recall hearing host Alec Baldwin played Boehner in the dress rehearsal version of this.
— Some good laughs from the republicans’ overconfidence in how “well” they’re doing and how “badly” President Obama is doing.
— I like Jason getting VERY worked up over Andy’s mere opinion that Sean Hannity is as smart as Rush Limbaugh.
STARS: ***
MONOLOGUE
host is upstaged by his 30 Rock co-star Jack McBrayer [real]
— I remember a few online SNL fans back at this time in 2009 were bothered by Alec’s “Thank you, Christian Bale” bit at the beginning of this monologue (in which Alec expresses relief that Christian Bale replaced him as the celebrity infamous for a recorded meltdown that was leaked online), because those SNL fans felt Bale chewing out some crew member (or whoever he was yelling at, I can’t remember) does not compare to how awful it was that Alec harshly berated his own then-pre-teen daughter on a voicemail message.
— I love the look of Fred’s character.
— Pretty funny reveal that Bobby’s character wants Alec to take a picture of him with Jack McBrayer, when Alec initially assumed Bobby wanted a photo of himself and Alec.
— A laugh from Alec’s guilty facial reaction to McBrayer saying he doesn’t want to seem desperate by hosting SNL more than once or twice.
STARS: ***
THE OLDEST JONAS
host tries to convince musical guest that he’s the oldest Jonas brother
— Uh-oh. A sketch opening with just the Jonas Brothers alone, with nobody else onscreen, is very worrisome.
— Thankfully, Alec has shown up. Not too crazy, though, about this premise of him playing a Jonas Brother.
— Turns out Alec’s characterization here is pretty funny, but this sketch itself still isn’t doing much for me.
— The bit with the purity ring is decent.
— WTF was with that ending with Alec’s character revealing he’s Alec Baldwin, “but not the Alec Baldwin from 30 Rock”? I just found that baffling and unfunny.
STARS: **
THE COUGAR DEN
cougay (host) has written a book on nabbing younger men
— Amy Poehler’s co-host character from this recurring sketch has been replaced with a new co-host character played by Michaela. I’m sure the intention at this time was to have Michaela’s new character become a regular part of these sketches, but that plan would end up falling through, because 1) this ends up being the final aired installment of this sketch, 2) SNL would attempt an installment of this sketch the following season (I can’t remember which episode), AFTER not just Michaela’s firing, but also Casey’s firing, but the sketch would get cut after dress rehearsal, and 3) that cut-after-dress attempt had Michaela and Casey’s roles replaced with characters played by Abby and, IIRC, then-cast member Jenny Slate (if not the latter, then it was the also-then-cast member Nasim Pedrad). The fact that SNL had to keep frequently replacing the roles of the co-host characters in this recurring sketch in such a short time span perfectly illustrates the unfortunate insane turnover most of SNL’s female cast frequently went through during these Wiig Dominance years. (Another thing that perfectly illustrates that are the Lawrence Welk Show sketches, because the lineup of female cast members who play Dooneese’s sisters changes EVERY DAMN TIME.) Also, it’s very hard for me to picture a 22-year-old Abby Elliott being even REMOTELY believable in the role of a middle-aged cougar.
— With the departure of Amy Poehler, who previously played the leader of the three co-hosts of this recurring sketch, Kristen’s character has now taken over as the leader of the co-hosts. And I guess Casey’s character has now taken Kristen’s character’s former place as the second-in-command.
— Meh at Alec playing a lispy “Cou-gay”.
— Here’s Cameron Diaz making her obligatory Cougar Den appearance. Speaking of which, the aforementioned cut-after-dress-rehearsal installment of this sketch from the following season didn’t have Cameron, IIRC.
— Kristen’s McDonalds story made me laugh.
— In dress rehearsal, Bill, Will, and Andy’s roles were played by the Jonas Brothers. I wonder if the reason SNL recast the roles was because they perhaps felt it was too inappropriate to have them in a sketch with Cameron Diaz’s cougar character “pouncing” on them.
— I hate to say it, but the running bit with Kenan insulting the cougars is getting old for me. And tonight’s Cougar Den installment is relying WAY too heavily on the bug-eyed “Kenan Reacts” cutaway shots each time after he insults the cougars. Between that lame “Issues” sketch from the then-recent Steve Martin episode and now this, SNL is really abusing the “Kenan Reacts” trope lately.
— Has Michaela said a single word in the entire last two-thirds of this sketch? It’s like, after her intro statement when she was introduced at the beginning of this, the writers forgot to write her ANY lines for the remainder of this sketch. It seems as if she’s been sitting there silently almost the entire time.
— Overall, it’s a good thing this ends up being the final aired installment of this sketch. I liked this sketch quite a lot in its first installment, but I’ve come to realize that I don’t care for it as a recurring sketch.
STARS: **
PROPERTY OF THE QUEEN
a 1983 hair band video is ANS’s proof of musical guest’s sorcerous youth
— A good believable 80s look and visual quality to the old music videos of the Jonas Brothers. Can’t say I’m laughing much, though.
— Bill is hilarious as the wizard in the last music video.
— Overall, pretty meh for Lonely Island standards.
STARS: **
SIR MIX-A-LOT’S PHOTO SHOP
Sir Mix-A-Lot’s (KET) Photo Shop enhances butts on customers’ snapshots
— Random premise, but I’m not dismissing it.
— I like Casey’s vocal imitation of the “Oh…mah…gawd” girl from the “Baby Got Back” music video (who always kinda reminded me of SNL’s own Melanie Hutsell, by the way).
— This sketch isn’t all that funny, but Kenan’s energy is fun.
STARS: **½
MUSICAL PERFORMANCE
musical guest performs “Tonight”
WEEKEND UPDATE
Oscar Rogers says it’s time to “do it” now that the economy is “fixed”
Angelina Jolie (ABE) is disappointed to find no babies on Weekend Update
snarky blogger Angie Tempura (MIW) hates on celebs with “bitch, pleeze”
uncommunicative Joaquin Phoenix (JAS) now wants to be a stand-up comic
— Kenan’s “Fix It!” character, Oscar Rogers, makes his first and ONLY appearance in a regular SNL episode, but he actually previously appeared in two Weekend Update Thursday specials earlier this season.
— I love Kenan’s pronunciation of his “Do It!” exclamations (sounds like “Duurrr It!”).
— Another random, abrupt walk-on from Abby’s Angelina Jolie, just two episodes after her first one.
— I laughed at Abby’s brief Angelina Jolie bit tonight, but it tread the exact same ground from her previous Update walk-on.
— The debut of the “Bitch, Pleeze” blogger character, Angie Tempura, who Michaela would be most remembered for from her short-lived SNL tenure.
— Michaela’s commentary so far is…….odd. I can’t say it’s working for me so far, despite how much I really want to like it.
— Feels odd seeing a Taraji P. Henson mention on SNL in 2009. I thought she didn’t start to become well-known until years later around 2014/2015, when Empire was the hot new show.
— I guess I get what Michaela’s bit is going for, spoofing then-current bloggers who’s whole thing is snarking on celebrities, but I’m not caring for Michaela’s execution of it, nor her constant exaggerated utterances of “Bitch, pleeze”. I recall this character being well-liked by a lot of online SNL fans back in 2009, including myself, so I’m not sure why this character isn’t working for me anymore 11 years later. I gotta say, between Michaela’s meh Barbara Walters impression in the View sketches and now this, I’ve been disheartened to discover that some of the things Michaela did during her short-lived SNL tenure aren’t anywhere near as good as I had remembered.
— Ha, an appearance from Jason as a heavily-bearded, sunglasses-wearing Joaquin Phoenix, spoofing his infamous then-recent Letterman interview.
— Throughout the Joaquin Phoenix commentary, I love the uncomfortable, drawn-out, awkward gaps of silence (again, accurately spoofing the Letterman interview).
— After Jason’s Phoenix leaves, I like how Seth says in an ad-lib(?) “We need better security out here!”, referring to how both Angelina Jolie AND Joaquin Phoenix abruptly popped up on him on separate occasions tonight.
— Wait, did this overall Update seriously have FOUR separate guests? Very unusual, though Abby’s bit wasn’t an outright commentary as much as it was just a quick walk-on.
STARS: ***
VINCENT PRICE’S VALENTINE’S DAY SPECIAL
romance is elusive on Vincent Price’s (BIH) Valentine’s Day Special
— Good to see this sketch back again, and it seems fitting that it’s appearing in an Alec Baldwin episode, given how reliable he is at emulating the Old Hollywood style.
— Very amusing Carol Channing voice from Kristen.
— Though it’s yet another gay Liberace joke in these Vincent Price sketches, I admit to getting a good laugh from Fred-as-Liberace’s “The fleet shipped out yesterday” response when asked where his valentine is.
— Another gay Liberace joke gave me a laugh just now, with him gleefully responding “Plenty!” when Bill’s Vincent Price asks what’s so great about a strange hand sticking out of a hole. I kinda hate to say it, but I may have to deem the gay Liberace jokes from these Vincent Price sketches to be a guilty pleasure of mine (maybe there’s just something about the fun atmosphere of these Vincent Price sketches that make those gay jokes work better than they would’ve in any other sketch), but we’ll see if I eventually get tired of the gay jokes in subsequent installments of this sketch.
— A huge laugh from Kristen’s Carol Channing sitting on the disembodied hand.
STARS: ****
SCHEDULING
businessmen Carl, Jerry, Troy (host) fail to schedule a meeting time
— Ha, the return of the Fart Face characters, Carl and Jerry. As one of seemingly VERY few people back in 2008/2009 who loved (and still does to this day) the original Fart Face sketch, it’s good to see these characters back. Given how notoriously poorly-received their first sketch was, I’m glad SNL is taking a chance by bringing them back anyway.
— A big laugh from the visual of Will in that ridiculously small toupee on the middle of his head, and him eventually mentioning that it doesn’t give him the coverage he wants.
— I rarely, if ever, criticize Bill Hader, but his delivery of his line about his aunt weighing 400 pounds was very weak, and caused that line to bomb with the audience.
— Another gloryhole reference tonight?
— I love Will constantly saying a gruffly-delivered “Carol, hold my caaaallllss!” throughout this sketch. That line really sticks with you (or at least me) over the years.
— An overall decent sketch, but to me, this paled badly in comparison to the original Fart Face sketch.
STARS: ***
MUSICAL GUEST INTRO
host & nieces Alia & Hailey Baldwin [real] introduce musical guest
MUSICAL PERFORMANCE
musical guest performs “Video Girl”
WII GUYS
(host)’s masturbatory experience makes him an instant Wii expert
— A sketch that sticks in your memory.
— A very juvenile conceit to this sketch, but I’m definitely laughing, and Alec is good at selling dumb humor like this.
— I found the “I’m gonna empty my sack before you do!” line to be particularly funny.
— Amusing turn with Alec suggestively shaking both his and Jason’s Wii controls simultaneously.
— While SNL’s certainly had better “unintentionally dirty” sketches, even just Alec Baldwin-involved ones (Schwetty Balls, anyone?), I’m still enjoying this sketch.
— A good line with Alec saying “Oh, trust me, your mother’s gonna be a natural” in regards to shaking the Wii control.
STARS: ***½
CHEWABLE PAMPERS
Rerun from 1/31/09
VIRGANIA HORSEN’S HOT AIR BALLOON RIDES
WTF? Two repeated ads IN A ROW??? (A commercial break separated these two repeated ads, but still…) This just may be an unprecedented move in SNL history. And this particular repeated ad isn’t even from this season, it’s from the preceding season’s Tina Fey-hosted episode. Not only is it very strange that we’re getting TWO consecutive repeated commercials tonight, but 1) both of these repeated commercials happen to star Kristen, adding further fuel to the “SNL is starting to focus way too heavily on Kristen Wiig” complaints on SNL message boards back then, and 2) this Virgania Horsen bit is an odd choice to rerun, given the fact that it doesn’t follow the structure or format of a traditional pre-taped SNL commercial.
FIRST COUGHS: MASTERING THE ART OF FORESHADOWING YOUR CHARACTER’S DEATH
host’s acting techniques DVD shows how to foreshadow death with a cough
— Decent premise, and Alec is a perfect spokesman for this.
— Great execution from Bill during his bit about reacting to blood he coughs onto a handkerchief.

GOODNIGHTS
IMMEDIATE POST-SHOW THOUGHTS
— A meh episode for Alec Baldwin standards. The first half of the episode was very mediocre, though there was a boost in quality in the post-Weekend Update half of the show. Even with that boost, though, there was almost nothing all night that stood out as particularly strong.

You could perhaps be forgiven for thinking the Jonas Brothers were the host the way this episode starts–which makes sense, as I assume you want to throw them out first to grab your target audience so they don’t tune out or go to sleep. As cynical as that is, it also makes sense–Baldwin’s a reliable enough host to run support or not always be the center of attention in sketches. That said, most of the Jonas Brothers material isn’t particularly great (and yeah, they seem like the obvious casting choice for that Cougar’s Den sketch).
The Sir Mix-a-Lot sketch is a guilty pleasure of mine–the premise is stupid, but Kenan delivers a really strong performance, and having come of age in an era when that song played all the time, there’s an aspect of nostalgia there (the audience really gets into it, too, especially during the anaconda portion of the song).
I thought the “bitch please” character was pretty good, if one-note, although that’s the way many Update characters go. She actually might have been interesting to see as a character fleshed out and put in a (non cookie cutter/TV show) sketch.
I was turned off by the presence of The Jonas Brothers. It seemed as if they should have hosted instead of Baldwin. I guess he must have been added for the older viewers. The first sketch after the monologue and the digital short were a bit much for those who are not fans of the Jonas. (I will say that their newer music is a lot better than when they first came out. “Sucker” has become their best work in my opinion.)
Speaking of the monologue, I wasn’t crazy about Jack’s appearance. I guess that was for “30 Rock” fans, and even that show I wasn’t too crazy about. I had to change the channel a few times just to see if the monologue was over.
Now that you mention it, for years I could’ve sworn that was Melanie Hutsell in the Sir Mix A Lot music video, that girl did seem to be channeling Melanie’s Delta Delta Delta character big time.
The sketch Stooge mentioned was cut is described as Jeff Montgomery (Forte) and Canadian doppelganger Geoff Montgomery (Dan Aykroyd) serenade a couple (Baldwin, Wiig) on Valentine’s Day. That certainly sounds funnier than the sketch that made it to air in the Tim McGraw episode earlier in the season.
From a friend who is a huge Jonas Brothers fan and attended dress rehearsal, they received an extended applause break (almost a minute long) when they appeared in The Cougar Den sketch. So, I assume replacing them with Bill, Andy & Forte for the live show was done in the interest of timing.
Speaking of timing, a sketch where a business traveler’s (Baldwin) tv continuously plays Sarah McLachlan’s ASPCA infomercial got cut on air leading to the back to back rerun taped pieces, lingering band shots going to commercial and the good nights lasting two full minutes. The McLachlan sketch gets reworked into an Update piece that airs in next season’s Taylor Swift episode.
Thank you for the extra details, @Jack. I don’t think Jeff Montgomery needed a return but I wish we could see that sketch. It annoys me how many times Dan’s later cameos were wasted on such thin, generic material.
I thought this was a really off episode. Based on your descriptions and the whole flow of the episode, it comes off like it was changed significantly between dress and air. It’s not an outright bad show but it just has that classically SNL ‘off’ vibe.
Having the cold open be an Aykroyd cameo, the monologue be a Jack McBrayer cameo, and the first sketch only having the Jonas Brothers in it starts the episode off weird and it doesn’t really get better from there. I’ve always thought the Vincent Price sketches were just okay, and I feel bad for being amused by Wii Guys (but you’re right: Alec shaking those Wii remotes definitely sticks in your memory.) I could’ve sworn that there was a bit with Michaela in that where she’s suggestively shaking the Wii remote in front of her face, but that must be some kind of Mandela effect thing. It does feel like she probably had a longer bit in dress because it ends very abruptly after she shows up.
I want to know what the deal was with rerunning two ads in a row. There was still one sketch left so I’m not sure why they didn’t run the ad afterwards or something. Also, did it feel like there were way more bandshots than normal? I don’t recall this era even having bandshots unless something gets cut.
I am very happy to see the band. It was and is rare that they get air time.
Yeah I’ve always enjoyed Michaela as an actress so I feel bad (since it’s probably the biggest thing she did during her short stay at SNL) saying I never really “got” that blogger character. They gave her such a short time to make an impression, it almost seems unfair to let someone go after less than a full season. With Kristen in full domination mode, you had people like Michaela, Casey, Jenny, Nasim all misused during their tenures with SNL trying to have them fill the Nora Dunn/Ana Gasteyer mostly playing straightwomen roles, while they were all more Cheri Oteri/Molly Shannon zany character actresses. All of them totally misused. But I guess that was the problem, SNL didn’t wanna have 2 Kristen Wiigs in the cast at the same time.
Michaela was great on ‘SNL,’ though her blogger character was not that great. She should have gotten at least another season.
At least she and Abby each got to appear on Update. Casey didn’t even make at least one appearance during her time on the show.
Wasn’t there a rumor that Kristen attended ‘SNL’ auditions when she was still in the cast during her later years on the show?
I actually remember Casey saying that on a podcast when talking about why her SNL stint didn’t go better (wanna say it was You Made It Weird, the Pete Holmes podcast?) mentioned that was one of her regrets looking back, not doing a piece on Weekend Update spot earlier on, since thats probably the best way to introduce yourself to the audience. I think the piece that bombed that her and Bobby Moynihan were seen doing at the table read during the James Franco documentary was some kind of Weekend Update musical guest segment with her as Liza Minnelli or a Liza Minnelli type character anyway.
Pretty sure I don’t remember Jenny Slate ever appearing on Weekend Update either. The ones that surprise me the most are longtimers who never did WU, like Phil Hartman and Julia Sweeney.
I remember some people accusing SNL of jacking (haaa! didnt even intend that, too late not changing it) that idea for the Wii sketch from MAD TV who did a similar skit months earlier but with cops trying to get their flashlights to work.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pz3SBY8zj8w
Probably not intentional, but its the same basic idea.
Ironically, this would be the last season for MAD TV during its run on Fox. (The brief revival on The CW might be forgotten by now) After MAD ended, ‘SNL’ had the Saturday sketch comedy audience to itself.
That clip of Hailey Baldwin introducing the Jonas Brothers got a lot of play when she married Bieber last year.
I think one of the reasons “Bitch, Please!” doesn’t wear well is because this type of depressing, sneering commentary has remained commonplace over the last decade. I can credit Michaela for her performance, and I think the idea was clever, but I felt drained watching her because she is the embodiment of social media and much of Youtube as well (just without the fast cuts and the screaming). I also don’t have much use for her Baba Wawa. However, as someone who had no real experience of her in the cast, I’m still enjoying her work – just mostly in other roles.
Boy, Casey really has faded away, hasn’t she?
The best part of this episode for me, by a pretty long way, is Kristen’s Carol Channing impression. Easily one of the BEST impressions I have ever seen on SNL. Just perfect. The Liz and Richard Burton stuff hurts this Vincent Price sketch (Alec phones it in, and there’s nothing funny in their scenes), but Kristen is so good, Bill has some fine moments too (especially the gag at the start with the revolving panel) and the cheap gay jokes with Fred are put in a more minimal role than usual.
For the most part this feels like a half-hearted episode to me, possibly another part of NBC and SNL trying to shift to a younger demographic at this time. We get plenty of Jonas Brothers showcases early in the show (when they know more viewers are watching), and the rest is thrown together. Alec Baldwin is in full John Goodman mode here, which isn’t a compliment. The closest he comes to being amusing is in the game controller sketch, which suffers from being too clunky in its obviousness (they even have Jason yelling some variation of “I’m coming!” at one point as Alec’s hand is on his controller at crotch-level…normally I can enjoy a goofy sketch like this but you don’t need to try so hard).
Honestly I hate this cold open. Not only is it a huge waste of Dan Aykroyd, it also suggests how out of touch Jim Downey (if he wrote this) was becoming. The whole premise is just lousy – even if they didn’t realize at the time that this approach would work (the Republicans would regain the house in 2010), it wouldn’t have taken much to know there was a very vocal backlash against Obama and the Democrats in Congress even at this point. The ‘joke’ at the end about how they are going to insult Obama’s daughters over having sleepovers seems even more out of touch, because at this time there were many incredibly ugly racial attacks against them all over the Internet. I know that Obama was still very popular at this time, but if you are going to be so heavily political, you should try to dig deeper. This cold open is not as “wacky” as many today, but the absolute DEATH (in spite of having a number of the best cast members in the show’s history) reminds me far too much of current cold opens. Not good.
Alec’s monologue feels like something from 5-10 years earlier. It’s out of place and just plain odd. Were they trying to promote 30 Rock? The only time I was amused was when Jason and Jack McBrayer bonded over Jack appearing in the local production of Glengarry Glen Ross.
This Cougar’s Den pretty much made me zone out, but one thing I did notice was how out of proportion Kenan’s reactions to the ladies were to what they were saying or doing. He’s viciously tearing into them, over and over, then popping his eyes and looking terrified, while they…barely react. When they did the Dakota Fanning sketches, Amy would constantly undercut him so his reactions made sense (and they were much more restrained). This sketch increasingly seemed to revolve around just him being angry and hurling insults, especially once the cougar idea ran out of steam. That they almost brought this back one more time tells you just how much these years over-relied on recurring characters.
I did enjoy the “Baby Got Back” sketch. A dumb idea but one that was executed well, with a very infectious performance by Kenan.
Kenan is also great on Update. They ruin Abby’s bit by having her repeat the same lines at the end and the same exit, but I did laugh when she asked if the cameraman was holding a baby. Jason’s segment feels a bit boilerplate for his talents. Seth has a very feisty delivery in this Update, which is a nice change of pace.
I was somewhat thrown this past season (19-20) with the increase in crude sex jokes over various weeks, including shock value stuff about taboo subjects, etc. I didn’t realize this period of the show doubled down even more on such content. I’m not sure if this was another attempt at getting younger viewers, or just laziness, but when you have so many sketches in a row about cheap sex material it loses all impact. Seeing the fart face sketch, which was a genuinely unique and crazy piece the first time around, return mostly just for yet more jokes about glory holes, is such a waste.
At least there were a lot of band shots this episode. It was almost 1994 again!
Next episode has one of my all time favorite sketches! I’m not going to say what it is, but it involves aliens.
Way to gooooo, Chuck!
It’s mentioned in Colin Jost’s book that Forte didn’t like giving up on characters and would submit and re-submit sketches for read through. Bringing him back gives Montgomery a bit of a Stan Hooper vibe as someone who has no narrative arc, he’s just a character that gets put in situations.
Wiig proctored at least one SNL cast audition, yes. She was at the table with some combination of Lorne, Higgins, Seth, and a longtime writer.
I’ll keep it short. Outside of “Property of the Queen” and Vincent Price, very little about this episode did anything for me.
I mainly remember Jack McBrayer’s appearance during Alec’s monologue…
