How can Saturday Night Live translate its brilliance in viral video to the live show?
As someone who loyally records and watches Saturday Night Live, I think that the show has really been improving this season. With the noted exception of January Jones, who I believe was voted worst host in the last 20 years or something like this, the season this year has been pretty solid.
I was reasonably impressed with Joseph Gordon Levitt, though there was a bit too much singing for me, and Taylor Swift did nothing to make me like her less, so that's not too bad. Ryan Reynolds and Drew Barrymore both did well, with a great cameo by Scarlett Johannson in a solid "Porcelain Fountains" redux. And who the hell is Blake Lively? Shit, I would have been happy watching that ep on mute.Anyhow, I really laughed hard at the video they did for the KICKSPIT UNDERGROUND MUSIC FESTIVAL. This was Twittered about by more than a few people, and I guess that it was based on a real video for the 10th annual Gathering of the Juggalos. This is like OzFest or Lillith Fair for Insane Clown Posse aficionados. Ha, I am sure there are few ICP fans who would use that terminology. I have attached both videos for your viewing pleasure. I do think that with Andy Samberg and the rest of these guys that they have a ton of great ideas for funny TV, but I am not sure if the live aspect is really getting in the way of their success. Are you watching the show? Do you like it? Aren't the videos the best part? Holler back.SNL's Video:Original Video:
