The Lord Windamere sketch, while completely predictable, has me rolling every time.

NOW GO GET HIM SOME SWEETS!!!

I haven't watched a whole episode in years but got sucked in following the DET @ NO game. I was really impressed, and I liked Charles Barkley.

The TNT sketch made me LOL - I think Jay Pharoah is underrated but Kenan was allowed to act and he killed as Charles.

Jay Pharoah is a good impressionist, and that's it. He's not particularly funny. (I use his appearances on talk shows as evidence.)

Pains me to say it, but he's only used as "token black celebrity." Really can't do anything else.

they just basically did a big FU sketch where Pharoah just did his impressions.

They basically just told us flat out "this is what he does, this is who he does, shut up."

i dont know if i liked it or not.

I'll tell ya who I dont like... the musical act. worst I've ever seen on the show. terrible singer.

What you don't like lounge singers singing about video games? Seriously I don't know wtf that was but I couldn't look away.

The Pharoah bit could have been funny, if it were just the least bit funny.

I was pleasantly surprised by Radcliffe, but the sketches sucked even more than usual. The Romney opening was particularly cringe worthy.

Should I just delete it from my DVR and catch a couple highlight skits on NBC.com tomorrow?

It's been pretty bad lately. The Tebow sketch and the Batman one were pretty good but other than that nothing I can't remember laughing much at anything else.

Jay Pharoah needs to add more to his game. I think he's probably destined to go back to standup, sketch comedy doesn't seem to be for him. Every time I see him or Keenan I appreciate Tim Meadows so much more.

Lana Del Rey has been a rising star thanks to the internet, but this was her first live US TV appearance and she seemed really nervous and uncomfortable. It was pretty brutal.

Thought most of the show sucked but I actually really loved the last 10 minutes. The Wiig survey sketch was really well done (along with being a reminder of how good Wiig can be if she's not doing an awful recurring character like Target lady) and the fake texting ad thing after it was also better than anything else on the show imo.

Wiig isn't always on point and doesn't rank among the elite in that show's history, but she's definitely the workhorse of the current cast. She's pretty good at everything (a few irritating characters aside). I think she's put in every skit they possibly can.

I turned off after Weekend Update. I liked the YouTube talk show 'you can do anything' but little else. I'm sorry I missed the last half hour because that's all you guys are talking about.

the musical guest was like an extention of that sketch, i honestly think they heard her (this is embarassing, i cannot for the life of me think of what this word is right now. Ya know, the practice round before a live show. wtf? lol my mind is blank.) and wrote that sketch in late.

rehearse? lol

yeah I didn't care for her either. Oh yeah I laughed pretty hard at Sudekis' Gervais impression. Sudekis jumped to the top of the ranks with that.

There have been approximately 14 million think pieces written about Lana Del Rey on the internet, if anyone wants to find out more about her particular brand of insipid pop. Thought there were some good sketches and really liked Radcliffe, though I probably tend to overrate some episodes because I instantly skip sketches once I realize I will hate them and forget about them when reviewing the show.

Lana del Rey is fantastic. Unfortunately, she choked on SNL. Check out the videos I posted in the video directory...especially the live performances. She really is something special.

I can't think of many skits from the last show, Sudakis doing Gervais was pretty funny though. I thought Radcliffe was pretty good but the writing wasn't funny.

Jeez, really?

I actually really liked the Pharoah sketch. It showed that he and the writers have a sense of humour about Pharoah's weird place on the show. Hopefully it's a signal that he wants to grow as a performer.

Didn't care for the episode too much, but really enjoyed Radcliffe. I'm not a Harry Potter guy so I don't know too much about him, but was pleasantly surprised at how natural he was in this format. Wish I could've got to see him in How to succeed........

lol, god no. If anything to me it seemed like a signal that SNL realized he has no place on the show, and this was pretty much his farewell ode.

It was painful to watch.
