Spot on, and one of the funniest things they’ve done in years…Not that that is a high bar.
I also thought it was excellent though the rest of the show was worthless.
Very funny and spot-on. Would have been better if it included a tirade against Bill O’Reilly.
Not that that is a high bar.
I actually disagree. While SNL has definitely fallen from its peak, there are a few classic skits in relatively recent years…my personal favorites being “more cowbell,” “strategery,” and “Christmas balls.”

Those skits were during the Will Ferrell days. Snl went through a renaissance starting when Chris Farley, Mike Myers, Tim Medows first came on and ending when Will Ferrell left. The show hasn’t been the same since.
…“Christmas balls.”
Don’t you mean, Schwetty Balls? :dough:
Pretty funny stuff. “Up with which we no longer put!”

I preferred the bit about George Orwell. Olbermann constantly makes obscure references to 1984, in an attempt to make himself sound smarter and more intellectual than he really is.

Yeah, I confess that the show has fallen on hard times. Another one I should have mentioned is the “junk in a box” skit that Justin Timberlake did.

haha, that’s the one
Affleck on SNL transformed Ben Affleck, for me, into an acting God. I saw so many possibilities. There were many flaws in his Olbermann (though I’ve never seen Olbermann), but there were flaws because very often Affleck messed up the lines–though made up for it quickly-and then, messed them up again, but again so subtely. Overall, he triumphed. And in that triumph I saw that Ben could do a strong, heroic, British accent–and that it was natural. In a movie, Mr. Affleck, would never ever ever be seen making those mistakes. Thus, in that moment, he became the next James Bond for me. He has the looks, and the tall, robust, body. As you can see, Jude Law is too skinny and may never live up to the part.
And then—and then:
Ben Affleck was the UPS delivery boy. Oh my god! It was not an attractive persona. However, Affleck pulled it off with masterful skill. I did not know that his acting repertoire had that in him, in addition!
I am convinced that the boy can do anything, and by virtue of best-friend-association, so could Matt Damon.
I love Ben Affleck again. No, no, not in the James Franco way–but as an actor and as a human being, who added to the transforming of my life with his Good Will Hunting so many important years ago.
Ben Affleck: thank you for existing …
