Presidents on SNL
There's a video compilation of SNL's Clinton-Lewinsky scandal sketches, with Hammond as Clinton, Molly Shannon as Monica, Ana Gasteyer as Hillary, and in a brilliant stroke of casting, John Goodman as Linda Tripp. Other SNL takes on presidental types (and wannabes): Chevy Chase as Gerald Ford, Dana Carvey as George Bush, Darrell Hammond as Al Gore, Norm MacDonald as Bob Dole, and Dan Ackroyd as Nixon and Jimmy Carter, not to mention The X-Presidents. Also, there's the book Live From New York, the extremely comprehensive (just no Eddie Murphy) look at SNL.
Will & Grace, with special guest Madonna
Madonna is going on be on Will & Grace, and Hilton and I discussed how Will & Grace pretty much sucks, except for Megan Mullally, aka Karen, and Sean Hayes, aka Jack. Gay joke, straight joke, sex joke, Grace-ugly-clothes joke, lather, rinse, repeat. And we hate it when they get too emotional - keep the comedy, folks, light, fizzy, silly, bawdy - no marriage or baby crap. Okay, sometimes Jack's kid is funny, but not as funny as Karen and Jack together.
