[OLS]

Well Armisen torqued me off Sat nite with that show-ending sketch where he was the "teen-psychiatrist"
show producer. The premise was good, some of the banter was good, but in classic style, Fred rode the
pony to a lather and killed it.

I have to somewhat disagree with the death of SNL, if only for the presence of two superstars,
the McGruber dude Will Forte and Bill Hader, the guy that does Vincent Price so well. In fact, it
was this week's show that made me remember how versatile Bill Hader is. His impression of
James Carrville is hilarious and does not wear thin from start to finish. I used to think he was
no Darrell Hammond, but when you think about it, Hammond's characters can really 'run together' in
terms of their efficacy. Bill Hader's impressions are all unique and fully fleshed out. He does
a perfect Dateline reporter Keith Morrison. As I mentioned, he does a great Vincent Price, too.
Most people could care less and don't know Vincent Price. What I like about Bill Hader is he does
impressions AND writes funny material to go with the impression. It makes the impression work
alot longer. He is useful in recurring characters as well. Sorry to run on and on, and while two cast
members can't really save the whole show, these guys work really hard and do a great job.
