    Thought the same thing.

    Timberlake as Bon Iver is spot-on.

    Timberlake single-handedly saved Bronx Beat, but why does he look like Ryan Gosling in The Notebook?

    Also, train wreck alert: LiLo hosting on March 3.
     
  4. Agreed, Timberlake as Bon Iver worked great. It also continued in the vein of spoofing past underwhelming musical guests, like they did with Lana Del Rey.

    Bill O'Reilly and Kate Upton on "What's Up With That?"
     
  6. Maybe I'm being nostalgic, but I enjoy seeing Amy Poehler on Weekend Update.

    Paul Simon, Jason Timberlake, Bill O'Reilly, Kate Upton. They have no trouble getting some pretty high-powered cameos. Even though we rip on the show, it apparently is still the place to be.

    "The Obama Show" may be an instant classic. I laughed my ass off all the way through the sketch.

    That was a very entertaining 90 minutes, from start to finish.

    Absolutely agree ... well, I skipped the musical acts, but I really thought they were on their game. i wonder how much it had to do with two of the stars from when the show was sharper.

    I've also noticed that at least tonight they wrote some slightly different characters for Kristin Wiig. I liked her as the Super Showcase hostess. Much funnier than her normal irritating characters.

    Something had Maya, Bill Hader and Kristin laughing during that sketch.

    It must have been something other than the pathetic cue cards they were reading.
