MICHAEL'S EPISODE REVIEW
JANUARY
20, 2001
Mena
Suvari/ Lenny Kravitz
BILL
CLINTON & GEORGE W. BUSH COLD OPEN
This was a great way to start
off the show. I loved how Bill Clinton was telling everyone what
George W. Bush did back in 1973. That was histarical. I also
loved how Will came out as George W. Bush and he was talking
about the Big Talking Bill Mouth Bass and how he said "Some
guy sold it to me for 1,000 dollars." That was classic.
A+
MONOLOGUE
This monologue was histarical. At first, when I saw Will
dressed in his Spartans uniform, I thought that they were going
to do a Spartan Cheerleaders sketch with a cameo by Cheri Oteri.
However, I was dissapointed because the Airport sketch was next.
Anyway, this was a great monlogue and it was so funny to see
Lorne thinking about Tracy Morgan naked. Haha!!
A+
GATORADE
LOVE BUCKET COMMERCIAL
Everyone that I talk to online seems to love this
commercial, with the exception of a few people. But I personally
thought it was stupid. The only funny part was when Jimmy and
Horatio dumped the bucket of Gatorade onto the old lady.
C+
La Gaurdia
Airport Security
This sketch was great. I bet that they will make it one of Maya's
new recurring characters. For those of you who didn't laugh, you
probably don't know that much about La Gaurdia and neither did I
until I went back to school on Monday and my teacher told me that
at La Gaurdia people had to wait in line for the airplane at
least 2 hours. So, SNL was trying to mock the line and their
security. I loved it when Chris Parnell said "I will not be
searched by this man." Then Tracy Morgan said "That's
right you're gonna be searched by this man." Then the big
black guy grabs Chris Parnell and pulls him away. Hahaha. That
was also classic.

JANET RENO
DANCE PARTY
SNL hasn't done this sketch in such a long time and it was great
to see it return to the show. However, I didn't think that this
sketch was that funny. The only good part was when Will was
pretending that he was crying and then he showed the onion in the
camera and threw it off stage. That and the part where the real
Janet Reno came out. I realized that Will really does do a great
job impersonating her.
B
RAP STREET
I really do not enjoy these characters. I think that
they are quite annoying even though I do like Horatio and Jerry.
However, this perticular sketch was funny because Horatio's
mustache kept falling off. They covered it up pretty good too
just by carrying on the sketch. It was also histarical when Jerry
mistakingly called a CD a CBD.
B
X-PRESIDENTS
CARTOON
This was the best X-Presidents cartoon that I've ever
seen. I'm not saying that it was amazing, but it was better than
the rest of them. It's funny how Clinton tried to join the rest
of them.
B-
WAKE UP
LITTLE SUSIE MOVIE PARODY
This was great. Tracy is starting to get a lot more air
time and I thought that was great. It was amazingly funny when
Tracy Morgan told Will that if Susie's arm drops onto the bed
then that means that she really loves him. Even funnier than
that, Will believed him.
A
WEEKEND
UPDATE with JIMMY FALLON & TINA FEY
There is really nothing that stands out in this WU that
I can remember of liking a lot. It was pretty funny with a few
exceptions. The part when Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton came on
was great too. I loved how Sharpton sang "I'm Sorry Ms
Jackson".
B+
LENNY
KRAVITZ
I really don't like Lenny Kravitz but he gave a good
performance.
B
VERONICA
& COMPANY
This sketch was okay. I think that they should stop with
Veronica and come back with Mary Katherine Galligher. Molly
Shannon's older recurring characters/ impressions were funnier.
However, this one was okay.
B-
DeMARCO
BROTHERS AUDITIONS
Chris Kattan is back. These characters are really funny
and they do a great job but this perticular sketch was upsetting.
Why did Chris Kattan and Chris Parnell act so gay together? I
know that they really aren't gay but I mean this is the start of
a bad reputation for both of them.
B-
LENNY
KRAVITZ
This song is okay. It was funny how he got cut off because the
song was too long and they had to go to commercial brake.
B
OVERALL
This show was not that good. I really didn't like it
that much. I did give each show a higher rating than I should
have though. I don't know why I did that, but I did. I say that
we give the writers a 3 week vacation and then they can come back
and do some hardcore funny skits.
