MICHAEL'S EPISODE REVIEW

Hayes/ Shaggy
A
MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES: GEORGE W. BUSH
Yet again, Will did a great job as President George W. Bush. I
thought that this was a pretty funny sketch. It wasn't as funny
as they usually are but I loved how he said that the only reason
we bombed Iraq was to get Clinton off the front pages. That was
classic. I also loved how he kept messing up the introduction to
the show.
A
MONOLOGUE
Sean Hayes acted kind of strange when he first came out.
I thought that his jumping around all over the stage was quite
annoying though. He did a great job playing the paino also! He
was excellent. I loved the interruptions that he kept getting
well he was playing and the call on the cell phone.

NPR
DELICIOUS DISH
Oh jeez! Now, I love Molly Shannon and I know that it
was her last show but I thought that they should have had a
better script for this sketch. I thought that the content was
very boring but the special effects were really good. The only
part where I laughed histarically was when Sean said that the
mushrooms were only Portabella mushrooms. Haha.
C-
HOMOCIL
COMMERCIAL PARODY
I would have preferred to have seen this commercial
parody after the monologue but that's okay. This was the funniest
commercial parody that I have ever seen on SNL and I
think that it was the best one yet!

MSNBC:
HARDBALL WITH CHRIS MATTHEWS
This sketch was OK. I thought that the
"Hardball" sketch from the Tom Green episode was a lot
funnier. Kudos to the makeup artists though for changing Molly
Shannon within less than 2 minutes.
B+
JEFFREY'S
This sketch was pretty funny. I figured that they'd do a
gay sketch sooner or later because of the huge popularity of
"Will & Grace". I think that Sean and Jimmy did a
great job and I also loved it when Will answered the little cell
phone that was from like a Barbie doll house.

SHAGGY
- "IT WASN'T ME"
I really am sick of this song but I thought that Shaggy
had a great performance.
A
WEEKEND
UPDATE with JIMMY FALLON & TINA FEY
Weekend Update hasn't been as good as it was in the
beginning of the season. I thought that they jokes were a lot
funnier earlier in the season but they did have some good jokes.
By the way, I love Tina!!!

HOME
SHOPPING NETWORK: HELLO DOLLY
Ugh. I don't understand why they keep showing this sketch. I
really don't think that it's that funny. The only parts that I
laughed at were the parts where they talked about the names of
the dolls.
C
SALLY
O'MALLEY
I love this character!! I thought that it was histarical and
Molly's camel-toe was the funniest part of the sketch. Also, when
Molly sang, I realized what a great voice she has!
A-
SHAGGY
- "ANGEL"
I love this song. I think that it is a lot better than "It
Wasn't Me". I have a lot more interest in Shaggy now.

NEWS
CHANNEL 4: 495 ACCIDENT
Well, this sketch was okay. The only funny part was when 23 clows
fit into that little VW. I thought that the writting could have
been a little bit better.
B-
MARY
KATHERINE GALLAGHER: LAST SHOW
"School's out for summer. School's out
forever!" Molly singing Alice Cooper was classic. I loved
how she smashed the guitar and said "Last show!!" I'll
truly miss her.

BRIAN
FELLOW'S SAFARI PLANET
I've always liked this sketch. I think that Tracy does a great
job and his lines are histarical.
A
CORN
CHIP NAIL TIPS COMMERCIAL
Another commercial that has been repeated over and over. I like
this commercial parody but they have to get a better end-of-the
show filler.
A
TALKIN'
'BOUT 'GINAS
Hahaha! This sketch had me rolling on the floor. Will
Ferrell's Chyna impression and Molly Shannon's Anna Nicole Smith
impression were classic. I loved this sketch. By the way, Ana did
a great impression of Joan Rivers!
A
OVERALL
This was a pretty good show but I can't wait until I
attend next week's!!
