Quote: Hear hear - can someone say "Robert De Niro"? How stiff and awful was his appearance on SNL last season? It was one of the worst in recent history... as much as I love him as an actor, I didn't laugh once at any of the skits on that particular episode (nor did I during a screening of "Analyze That"). |

Agreed, KOM. His show totally blew. He was great when he'd do the odd cameo on Jim Brewer's The Joe Pesci Show years back, but he can't carry his own show in the least.
lokisaab - I've read a few excerpts from that SNL book. Good read? I love dishy stuff like that - I gotta pick it up. I'm definitely interested in the early years....since I was old enough to watch it when it began ![0]](http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/alien.gif)

Oh yeah, if you like that kind of backstage info. It's also a very easy read because it's just quotes from everyone the authors interviewed. Did you know Adam Sandler was fired? Steve Martin, Tom Hanks, they were favorite guests with the writers and cast. Robert Blake also worst guest |

I LOVED LOVED LOVED Justin Timberlake!!! Funniest episode since Cameron Diaz a couple of years ago (interestingly enough).
I also loved the Ashton Kucher sketch. "I'm Ashton Kucher and I love Justin Timberlake!!!" as he runs off stage.

Why was Adam fired?
I love backstage gossip/secrets as well. |

SNL is all time favorite show ever...it's sad to see it falling down into the shithole.
This past show was fairly good. I also loved the Punk'D skit and the Jessica Simpson thing. But I LOVED the Sharon Osbourne show skit. That one was right on target, especially the little dog shitting on the guest and then getting a prize for it!!

Why cant they use Amy Pholer (Sp?) More? Shes HELLA-FUNNY and i mean she realllllly is funny, I have NEVER not laughed at something she did. She really should be the Sheri Oteri or Will Ferrell of this cast but shes used like a featured player.

Amy is funny - she does the best accents/characterizations. I loved her "English" take when Ian McKellan guest-starred and they did "Hot Air Balloon Mystery Theatre". Her British imitation was fucking hilarious... she had it pinned down perfectly.

This week: Halle Berry/Britney Spears.
In weeks to come: Kelly Ripa/Outkast; and Andy Roddick/Dave Matthews. Should be interesting. |

Quote: Don Ohlmeyer was an NBC executive at the time and he forced Lorne Micheals to fire Adam Sandler and Chris Farley. He is the guy responsible for putting Friends on the air and he just didn't like the SNL humor at the time. Alot of conflict between NBC execs and SNL staff over the years. |

I can see him now "Y'know I just don't think people find Chris Farley or Adam Sandler very funny, I think we can get rid of them" "Tim Meadows now thier is a funny guy" |

I was shocked that Timberlake turned out as well as he did. That Jessica Simpson shit killed.

I absolutly love Amy as Kelly Ripa.
"Who is that Reg? No one knows who that is!" And Andy Roddick hosting? OMG!!! I adore him, but expect a lot of strung out, and boring tennis themed skits. They did it when that one girl hosted, forgot her name now. |

They should do Live with Regis and Kelly but with the real Kelly instead of Amy.
