This week's SNL was a season finale episode extraordinare that pulled out all the stops: Mick Jagger hosting and singing with TWO different bands (more on that in a moment), John Hamm and an SNL Digital Short: Lazy Sunday 2.
Some thoughts:
- The departure of Kristen Wiig, Jason Sudekis and Andy Samberg after this season will be a devastating loss as all three are integral and wildly funny.
- Win Butler of the Arcade Fire is a ballsy dude. He wore the red badge associated with the protesters in Montreal - who are loathed by many Quebecers.
- I have no idea why Mick Jagger was there and he wasn't particularly funny, but looks pretty good for a one million year old (conversation in my house; Me: Mick Jagger is starting to look the same as David Bowie. Matt: "They BOTH look like old lizards.")
- Lazy Sunday 2 was missing the hook that Lazy Sunday had, but Chris Parnell is an intense rapper. I wonder if the shorts will continue without Andy?
- Next week's repeat is the episode featuring Gotye again. I will watch because he's amazing and I am still not sick of Somebody that I Used to Know.
- The Foo Fighters are a great band and I love Dave Ghrol.
So spill it: What did YOU think of the SNL finale?
