Does anyone know who the dark haired chick was in the Fallon clip? She was also in the game show clip as Wig's partner.

She is gorgeous.

Haha, thanks. She was super good looking in that game show bit. How did Chris Elliot pull that one off?

Anyone know how long it usually takes for things like SNL to hit torrent? Missed it last night and want to watch it. Can't find any seeders at the time of this post.

Pretty good episode. Gaga was creepy as ever, but the episode was pretty funny overall. Liked the bit with Bill Hader as the old news reporter. :D

without even thinking that was easily one of the best three of the season, and with both of them doing so many funny skits together, could be an all timer. can't believe a couple of reviews I read that didn't like it.

pretty funny skits

I think her latest song Judas absolutely blows, but I can't deny when she performs she owns the stage. one of the most significant reasons for why she is the biggest pop act in the world right now.

Good finale - Most of the skits seemed to be..underwhelming simply because they put Gaga in them rather than the other cast members [WTF did she show up at the end of the beer/tea skit?]

I'd have to agree about this comment regarding the 3 way video:

http://www.salon.com/entertainment/tv/feature/2011/05/23/justin_timberlake_andy_samberg_three_way/

"Unfortunately, not even Lady Gaga's presence could save the underwhelming reunion of JT. .and A.S. in "3-Way," a song that wasn't only musically boring (if Justin Timberlake and Gaga can't some interesting harmonies going in your song, there's a problem), but about as tepid as a number about having sex with Lady Gaga could be. "

Gaga's latest work [music] is nothing more than sampled tracks from other music - does she really do anything original or just rip off other people and call it her own mutation? [I'm not the only one who noticed this in her song last night]. I just don't understand the hype for her...

I wasn't aware that any of her stuff was sampled...

A lot of people point out that her songs are similar to other songs - Alejandro & Ace of Base, Born This Way & Ray of Light.

But which of her songs sample other artists?

I think if you're downplaying that skit because you don't like the harmony of the song, then you're missing the point.

I accidentally watched the first few skits of SNL the other night. I didn't laugh once. I can't believe that show is still on the air.

ALways! Timberlake and Alec Baldwin typically have WIN episodes when they host. At least comparatively to the rest of the season.

I'm Barry F*cking Gibb!



Also, for some reason, I love the "What's Up With That?" skits. Love the white guy in track suit dancing in the background.

Ya, some people hate that sketch. I find it hilarious. Especially when the guest is talking and all of a sudden the high hat cymbal starts tapping and the "host" starts rhyming. Plus the track suit dancer is awesome.

I don't know if's it all improv or not, but the Good Burger kid is good at keeping it going..

I just don't understand what people see in Lady Gaga? I don't think I can name one song from her.

Then again I am kind of in my own world when it comes to music, been listening to Journey's "look into the future" nonstop. So who the hell am I to judge

I don't think I ever told you that Ron Swanson is a perfect avatar for you.

:D

Justin Timberlake is awesome on SNL (him and Zach Galifanasomething are my favorites), but I didn't care for this episode. Very meh.

SNL always pulls from the relative cream of the Improv pool. You can hack it on there if you can't do improv.

But contrary to semi-popular belief, the show is heavily scripted.

Also, every time you use the word "skit" a baby seal is dropped into a woodchipper.
