Armisen really does a terrific Obama. What they oughta do is cancel SNL and just have TNL, where they only have to write one or two sketches and fill the rest with crappy Update jokes.

Tom Brokaw: We're running out of time, so I'll ask the two remaining questioners to ask their questions simultaneously.

But I think the physicality was OK. Armisen's Obama is getting a lot better.

(Might be just 2)

Holy crap me too. I had to keep rewinding because I would start laughing again and missed the next bits.

Are the writers running out of ideas? When Peyton Manning was on, they had a locker room skit that, at the time, was hilarious. Last weekend, they ran the skit again only with Michael Phelps in place of Manning. Dude, it just didn't work this time. Do they rehash a lot of their skits with each new host? If they do, that's lame.

They have started doing that sort of thing more. A good example is Armisen's Nicholas Fehn, the political comedian who reads and reacts to headlines on weekend update (I Mean, c'mon!)....it was a great skit once, but to do it any more than one time is ridiculous cos it's just the same thing. They even had him on with only one or two shows between appearances.

They all have the exact same "talk fast" gimmick, and it's just tired at this point.
