Saturday Night Live season premiere

[AlexH.]

Michael Phelps is hosting. Barack Obama is making an appearance. But most importantly...

Tina Fey is in talks to play Sarah Palin. Which is perfect:

Discuss.

[sewbr0]

would did

[Guest baseball]

Hah, they really do look alike.

The difference is one is on a kickass sitcom and the other thinks we're living in End Times.

[mediocore]

I didn't know Sarah Palin had a mysterious scar, too.

[benchwarmer]

love tina fey, loathe sarah palin

[bankrupt5]

I love SNL, but I'm pretty sure I'll be way too drunk to watch. First college football game this weekend.

[mclz]

[Snaggle Von Swift]

love tina fey, loathe sarah palin

[rtw88]

I haven't seen an episode that had consistently good sketches in a couple years. Hopefully this has changed.

[bouncinsouldier]

lil weezy is the musical guest

[Snaggle Von Swift]

couldn't tell ya the last time i watched SNL

but this has really gone downhill

[divaface]

i should have stopped watching after the opening skit. tina fey is perfect.

[tanukichu]

I has no cable television so I couldn't watch it. As much as I like Michael Phelps and want to bang him, I generally think it's a bad idea to center your show around an athlete because usually they can't act. Was it bad?

The last time I watched a more recent SNL was when Justin Timberlake hosted...and that was actually ridiculously amazing.

[andrew13]

SNL is on basic tv, you don't need cable.

but i saw like the last 5-10 mins... and phelps sucked i though. he was stumbling over almost all his lines, at least in the diet thing.

[tanukichu]

we have no television capabilities whatsoever due to lack of cable and lack of co-ax cord to plug into the wall. All my TV is good for is hooking up the video game consoles.

}

document.write('');

}

[hickey]

It wasn't all bad. Yeah, Phelps was out of his element, but he did better than I expected, despite visibly reading his lines throughout most of it.

[counterfiction]

damn, that was funny

[suburbanargyle]

I was disappointed. Especially with the digital short which usually has me rolling. I was thinking "it took all summer to come up with that?"

[vinylme]

[andrew13]

love real time.

[Duff]

the charles barkley show was the only thing i thought was some what funny. weekend update use to be on of my favorite sketches but even that has gone dramatically downhill in recent years. am i the only one who thinks andy samberg has worn out his welcome?

[biggiesized]

Epic fail last night.

The only saving grace was Kristen Wiig. She had me laughing on her sketches. The short was terrible and so was Lil Wayne

SNL should just stay away from athletes in general. They suck.

[samlesous]

love tina fey, loathe sarah palin
