I never though Fallen was that funny, i did dig that time that Horatio Sanz and Fallen did the whole Saddam Huseein/bin laden skit...that was some funny stuff.
Tracey morgan always did a great job as Tyson and it was always great to have im tell Lorne Micheals to "get me a Pepsi bitch!".

Chris Kattan was alright, I hated the monkey crap..just stupid. Mango was pretty decent!

I guess this is all part of the up and down cycle of SNL. They also need to ban Ashton Kutcher from hosting the show because he really isn't very funny. Not in a SNL way anyway.

You do know she's a writer for SNL, not an actor, right?

She's been in skits and lots of SNL staff have written for the show as well as appeared on the show. Dan Ackroyd and Norm McDonald are two that spring to mind although I know there have been many more.

The fact that she is a writer for the show is an even better reason to roll her head out the door. Oh how I will miss the Bush jokes... Iraqi documents of mass destruction, get it?

I hope it does end. I'm tired of hearing people talk about it...

I hate when people talk about TV or try and describe parts of movies.

I liked it when Fallon would do solo paradies of songs. Yeah, that was great. And then Chris Parnell would rap, yeah. Great.

Forget these guys. This show has been on a downslide since Will Ferrell left. The best episode of the season was the Christopher Walken episode, and guess who cameoed in that one, Will Ferrell, along with Britney Spears and Steve Martin of course. Kattan does not have a consistently funny character period, Mango got old about 15 seconds into the first sketch. Fallon can't tell a joke without cracking up. Morgan was better back when he had a character like Dominican Lou, but nowadays it's like his heart isn't in it. He's just going through the motions.

The only guy SNL has left is Darrell Hammond, who also seems to not be putting much into the show anymore. At least he can do some good impersonations every once in a while. None of the new guys can really be anywhere near as funny as Will Ferrell could, this show is going to be in an in-between time now, as there are periods between all of the great casts and seasons. There was the original cast, then the Dana Carvey, Phil Hartman, Adam Sandler, Chris Rock, Chris Farley, Mike Myers era, and then there was the Norm MacDonald, Will Ferrell, Darrell Hammond, Tim Meadows(who carried over from the end of the previous golden age) era. Instead of a Chris Farley, we get a Horatio Sanz. Instead of a Mike Myers, we get a Jimmy Fallon. Instead of a Kevin Nealon, we get a Chris Parnell. SNL sucks at the moment. However, losing these 3 guys isn't an issue in my eyes as they are all way past their primes anyway, if they've ever had one.

I should check back in about 4-5 years when the show has a chance at realizing good comedy again.

I agree with a lot of that. I'm too young to remember the original cast but I"m sure it was great as Akroyd, Murray, and Chase are all incredibly witty and funny guys. After that the high points would be Carvey, Hartman, Sandler, Myers, FArley, Ferrell. Now there really is no one that is "the man" there. If you saw one of these people in a sketch you knew it would be funny, now it is just a bunch of random people and it is hard to get to know their personalities. I think Fallon was funny but his time is up, it is good for him to go. Same thing with Kattan, funny little man but nothing new from him lately. And for Morgan, I think that guy is funny and will miss him (esp Brian Fellow) but he played a lot of the same characters (the angry black dude in the sketch), although I did like the shout-out sketch too.

Hey it's drunk girl everybody!

Who's that big guy that partners up with Fallon in most of the skits? That guy's funny.

Everyone HAS to admit that Celebrity Jeapordy was freakin hilarious.

Connery: I'll take "SWORDS" for $400.

Alex Trebek: It's actually not "swords" sir (shows the category "S" Words). These are words that begin with the letter "S".
The answer is "Popeye is this sort of man." Remember these are words that begin with the letter "S".

Burt Reynolds: uhhh, what is Popeye?

My personal fav:

Alex Trebek: Mr Connery why don't you pick a category.

Connery: (Points at the "Therapists" category) I'll take "The Rapists" for $200.
