Fred Armisen Must Die! - Page 6

So the last few weeks I've been watching Dr. Who, but I'll have to watch tomorrow night when Betty White hosts.

Some thoughts on last night:
Other than the cold open, very little Armisen.

Betty White was hilarious, but had a few flat spots, notably the Scared Straight sketch with Kenan.
I could have done without Jay-Z's extended "greatest hits" medley. And who was the Sting Mini-Me that came out for his second performance?
It was nice to see all the former cast members who haven't done anything since leaving SNL (except Tina Fey).

I thought the Betty White / Tina Fey Census sketch was the funniest thing SNL has done all year.

Definitely a highlight. The digital short was pretty funny too: "Happy Mother's Day, motherf***ers!"

And when she asked McGruber "Are you out of your f***ing mind?"

And I still think Maya Rudolph is hot.

It was cool to see her on WU as Whitney Houston. I always thought that was one of her best characters.

I think my favorite was Delicious Dish, aka the Dusty Muffin.

Other than playing Beer Pong with Jimmy Fallon and grabbing Sandra Bullocks boobs, exactly why is everyone on the Betty White bandwagon these days? I surely missed something.

Because she is almost 90 and is still relevant and funny?

Well, she did do a few things before that.

Seriously, I think a lot of her appeal is that she can play a role as saccharine as the dim-witted Rose from the Golden Girls, and then do something like the digital short from last night's SNL.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not hatin on Betty, I just find it odd that *now* she is the toast of the town. A couple years ago she was just another old actress. Now she is an A-lister with some sort of cult-like following.

Just wondering where it all changed.

Someone had to replace Bea Arthur as the ultimate Cougar.

I think it's a combination of the fact that she's still taking on new projects, and the ubiquity of social networking tools. Ten years ago, you might talk about something like last night's SNL with a half dozen people around the proverbial water cooler. Now, any moron with a blog or Facebook account can post up "OMG!!1! Betty White talks about her dusty muffin!!!!" complete with embedded video and reach hundreds of people.

Watched Dr. Who last night (Daleks FTW!), then switched over to SNL at midnight. Caught Tom Petty, a bit of WU, then Armisen and Wiig came on doing that stupid sketch where they adlib nonsense songs. Click.

After a one week respite, SNL was back to sucking, even with Baldwin hosting. I laughed once in 90 minutes, near the end of the "Hooker with a Heart" sketch.
