Pre Emptively Disheveled

Dennis Miller and Jimmy Fallon

In an interview with Time, Dennis Miller gives this take on the current Weekend Update team:

Tina Fey might be the best "Weekend Update" anchor who ever did it. She writes the funniest jokes. Jimmy Fallon's forte is the sketches. He's got the pre-emptively disheveled haircut. There's too much artifice happening there.

Of course when Dennis Miller was doing Update, and had disheveled hair, that was the style, right? But it's true, Jimmy Fallon has been sporting the bedhead (Josh Hartnett called and he wants his coif back) for a little too long.

Fallon is all form and no function, as is Fey to a degree, though she does have very good delivery. It's strange that the best Update anchors were not great in the sketches.

Tina Fey is THE best . . .though i may be bias because after reading a profile of her in the new yorker i decided if i were a little bit smarter i might be her. she walks around dreaming up arguments in her head - that's my life!
