"I actually enjoyed kenyan thompson's skit as the french def comedy jam comedian. incredible." I think what you meant to say was "incre-i-ble!" Mark Wahlberg was great if you saw the sketch last week that it was referencing; if not it probably made no sense. And Tim Calhoun is always funny.

Oh my god it was just painful. I still can't figure out why one would show up to a set where they're just being hilariously grilled and imitated.

Palin's cameo sucked ass. Anyone who says otherwise must have thought Tina Fey was Palin!

The moose shooting was my favorite, aas others have said. Just the way he/she (the moose) comesout dancing, all innocent, and the gets capped. I dunno, i rearely, literally, laugh out loud aat SNL, but I was loudly laughing last night. Laughing at the moose, and also the lines: "All the mavericks in the house put your hands All the plumbers in the house PULL YOUR PANTS UP!" Amy Poehler will be sorely missed, she is by far the most naturally funny cast member currently and in a long time. And I thin k it's Andy Smaberg who writes all these rap skits, even when he collaborated with Chris Parnell on the viral giant "Lazy Sunday". The rap skits are the best parts of the show for the last ten years, all the way back to Parlin rapping to Kiersten Dunst "Naked like a statue, the goddess of fun Then she removed my shorts, my shoes, and my gun... I apologized to Kiersten for all the blood shed she just smiled and pulled back in bed"

This is so goddamn freaky. It's like a serial killer who murdered your mom and ate her eyeballs is on SNL and is funny,irreverant and hilarious but at the same time your thinking to yourself "Bastard ate my mom's eyes!"

You stay classy, redwhite&brooklyn. The only skit that made me laugh out loud was the fartface businessmen sketch, but I'm incredibly immature. Oh, and McGruber. I don't know why it's so damn funny, but it is.

SNL is actually trending up, I hope they can keep the momentum going. The opening skit was pretty funny, especially with Baldwin's involvement. And Poehler's Palin rap was a homerun.

Hey, Sarah Palin: you can't act, even when it come to acting like yourself! Stick to standing behind a podium and lying to the knuckledraggers who show up at your rallies. Lorne Michaels: WTF happened to you? You actually allowed this crap on your show? Oh, that's right... your show was in the crapper for the past 15 years. I started watching again because of the few new routines that were intelligent & funny. Back to business as usual. Oh... and Palin... if you insist on using Barack Obama's middle name, we want to use yours: Sarah Dumbf__kingc__t Palin. OK? OK!

TKaisen telling us he/she is hip is reminiscent of McCain declaring he isn't Bush. If you have to tell us... The truth is SNL's political humor is right on the mark, and always has been. Baldwin referring to Palin as Tina was subtle but cleverly funny. Palin isn't a comedic performer but she came of well by participating in those skits. I wonder if McCain was really responsible for her doing it. Poehler was great on the Palin rap.

Thanks for the recap, missed the show last night.

Why rehash it here? Everyone tuned in.

Also, the McGruber's skit was a good one too!

it was pretty awkward, I bet lorne forced them to do it. no interaction at all. pretty bad.

I though it was pretty good. Agreed that the opening skit should have been better, but it wasn't bad either. I've seen worse in SNL. The best was by far the rap, and the Moose shooting was hilarious. Thumbs up to Palin for playing along in perhaps the best politician cameo I've seen in that show... the first, and probably only, thumbs up I'll ever give her.

I'm hip and ironic and never find SNL funny. I have to watch obscure shows from the BBC to crack a smile... but then I think that the man wants me to laugh so I don't.

Oh Come on, especially you thenebula. Last night's SNL was appalling. Palin managed to make it unfunny.

I like that Palin looks pretty clueless staring out while Amy calls out the Bridge to Nowhere, yet she is visibly mouthing along during 'When I say Obama, you say Ayers.'

The fake commercial for the online stock trading company - in which the only option is to sell your stocks - was pretty good too.

It was pretty good last night. Nice to see Palin can take a few jabs at herself and still have a good time. I wonder if McCain or Obama will show up in any of the following shows before the election, just for fun.

For some reason, Jason Sudekis as Todd Palin--in his snowmobile outfit--really really cracked me up. Also, the moose killing was pretty great.
