WOOOOOOOOO!~ Very happy with the results so far

Gotta feel bad for Heather Graham, especially since the show got tons of press.

A show called Teachers is going to replace The Office. They could always burn off Joey in the summer, that would be like the ultimate insult.

You should star in the sequel to Cinderella Man. Cinderella Niskie!

Why don't they just start the game from when he collasped? How is Fisher doing anyway?

What did you expect? It's the sun! Know what kind of shoes they wear? Flip-flops! I hope me reading this thread doesn't get me fired. :-) The Sun is behind Quinn though, it's Ferguson they hate.

I have to play that asshole?? Well at least I know kkk is going to rig it for me!

I think Ferguson will get fired before Quinn, but I don't think Quinn will get fired unless things get really bad. In the Sun a couple weeks ago someone wrote a column on how this might be Quinn's best season as Maple Leafs coach. So much for that! Everyone hates Ferguson, so I just don't think they'd let him stay and axe Quinn

Dama rooted for Texas and now he roots for Pittsburgh? He should kill himself

My bad- So of these three, who I was talking about? Nick Valensi- guitar (rhythm and lead) Albert Hammond, Jr.- guitar (rhythm and lead) Nikolai Fraiture- bass guitar

The last show to avg. less then ** was Hilary Swank/50 Cent, which was like watching paint dry. He was in Garden State, Flightplan and Jarhead.

Gretzky's stiffness was part of his charm I think. Yea, in every movie I've seen Sarsgaard in, he always comes off as very homosexual. I think he was just nervous, but yea, he was horrible. He's dating Maggie Gyenhaal.

James Blunt

"The Office" will go off the air at the end of March so star Steve Carell can film a movie, Reilly said. He said he also hasn't figured out what to do with the ill-fated "Friends" spinoff "Joey," which has 12 new episodes done but no place on the schedule. "NBC is stable and our vital signs are encouraging," Reilly said. "Most predictions were that we were going to go from bad to worse this year, and that hasn't happened."

PRINCE!~ on Feb 4th

While watching this show I was like: Wait, I have to review this show? I guess Sarsgaard won the Paul Giamatti Memorial Award for host a lot of people will not have heard of.

They've almost cancelled it a few times. The show is $$ to produce, but I think they do well in advertising. I could see it being cancelled if Lorne steps down for god and the new people just can't produce a profitable show.

Sarsgaard creeps a lot of people out.

SNL Review- Peter Sarsgaard/The Strokes Sports Report- Maple Leafs- Well we knew it was going to be bad, but after Eddie was insane through parts of the first period, I was semi-hopeful. Ron Maclean talking about how Danny Heatley always kills the Leafs was the highlight of the night. Canucks- It’s the tale of two hockey teams!! A great game against the Habs tonight and this team seems to have found its touch and Auld is coming into his house. Nets- They had that bad road trip without R-Jeff, and lost to freaking Boston, but won again tonight. It looks like they’re starting to take control of the Atlantic, so #2 seed here we come! Mailbag!!!!!- [email protected] writes- Hi Bob, I was searching the net trying to find suggestions on how to better my chances of getting standby tickets for SNL. I came across your website, and am wondering (if you still access this email), if you can give me ANY bit of advice about getting tickets. I will be in New York for four days from Minnesota (my first time ever in NYC) and would KILL for tickets to the show. Thanks for any help you can give! Sincerely, Tim "Desperate for tickets" Campbell The best way to get tickets is to wait outside NBC Studios at 30 Rock on 49th st. If you wait overnight for a standby ticket, depending on the host and mg, you might get to see the show! Wanna be in the mailbag???? Email me at [email protected] And now the review… Cold Opening Cast- Seth Meyers, Darrell Hammond, Finesse Mitchell, Amy Poehler Thoughts- Wow, good to see Seth in the cold open. Given the quality of this show he probably didn’t have that much writing to supervise. Darrell’s Jesse Jackson was nice to see and Amy’s Hillary Clinton is always very funny. The Ray Nagin stuff was whatever but this was a good way to kick off the show, and it’s interesting they didn’t just Hardball this. ***1/2 Monologue Cast- Peter Sarsgaard, Fred Armisen, Rachel Dratch, Poehler, Tina Fey, Kenan Thompson, Jason Sudeikis Thoughts- Wow, Peter Sarsgaard sure is not funny. This was alright. The bit with Tina and Amy was pretty funny and the thing with Kenan was random at best. I wonder if the naked thing was supposed to be a rib at Kinsey where we saw Peter’s dick. Hey, I didn’t know that going in, I swear! **1/4 Bald Babies Cast- Bill Hader Thoughts- This was pretty random but it had its moment. It didn’t work at the beginning but the ending with Hader holding his son and the Baby Beards is what clinched it for me. **1/2 Target Cast- Sarsgaard, Poehler, Chris Parnell, Thompson, Kristin Wiig Thoughts- And….why did they bring this back? I still haven’t really formed an opinion on the Wiigster but this skit is horrible and her voice is just grating and not funny at all. Poor Parnell, being wasted in a skit like this. Sarsgaard constantly talking about his break was funny at first, but soon grew old and forced. *1/2 Pirates Cast- SARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRsgaard, Will FoRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRte, PaRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRnell, ARRRRRRmisen, Horatio Sanz, SambeRRRRRRRRRRg, Sudeikis, HadeRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR Thoughts- Talk about a lame joke for a skit. I mean seriously, that’s the best they could do? Forte was pretty funny, as was Fred’s name, but the rest was killed dead by the lame joke. I laughed at a few of them, I’ll admit it, but is the best they can do? ** Carol Cast- Sarsgaard, Sanz, Poehler, Sudeikis Thoughts- Flipped over to the Canucks game. When I flipped back, I got lame double entendres that would be out of place in Boat Trip, so yea, I don’t think I missed anything. DUD Chuck Norris Cast- Poehler, Armisen, Samberg, Sudekis Thoughts- Man, SNL must’ve really loved those facts. Too bad they’re already getting old and the fad is over. Plus, Chuck Norris’ response to the whole thing was funnier then the facts themselves. That said, this was actually quite funny. The fact that Samberg looked nothing like Chuck Norris added to it. I loved him beating up those people in the fights or them showing his various poses. The skit took a bit too long to get going, but once it did I really enjoyed it. Pretentious songs rule! ***1/2 Cat Fancy Cast- Sarsgaard, Meyers Thoughts- I hate cats and prefer Dog Fancy so 0 for 2 right off the bat. I have no idea what they were going for, but it was horrible, and skits like this need someone like Will Forte to truly work. This skit was not the cats meow! A-hem. The cats meows and Sarsgaard tripping over his lines also brought down this skit. What a waste of Seth. DUD Strokes ‘Juicebox’ Thoughts- What happened to the loveable Strokes who were the Gods of NYC rock and all that? This song wasn’t too fun, and in fact was too slow and boring for me. I do love the guy Fab plays the guitar. **1/2 Weekend Update Cast- Drew Barrymore, Fey, Poehler, Hammond, Meyers Thoughts- Good to see Darrell back as Gore, even though his impression was not what it was. And I love Seth’s John Kerry. So yay for that commentary. Tina and Amy were really awful tonight, moreso then usual. Amy especially had a horrible night. I mean, ouch. Tina had a few good ones towards the end, but she was bad as well. I don’t get why they wasted Drew with such an awful cameo, put her in a skit or something. Not one of Fey/Poehler’s best that’s for sure. ** Gays in Space Cast- Sarsgaard, Parnell, Dratch, Armisen, Thompson, Fey, Mitchell, Forte, Hader, Paula Pell Thoughts- I hate this show. DUD The Hotel Where Things Go Wacky Cast- Sarsgaard, Dratch Thoughts- You know, if Sarsgaard was so unhappy with the TV, why didn’t he just go downstairs and either chill at the bar, or complain to the front desk personally. I mean he had his options! The screwups didn’t do much for me, even though they were amusing. It was more distracting then anything else, and Sarsgaard’s inability to get his lines right was again a distraction. This was whatever, but the ending was horrible. *1/2 Tap Those Phones Cast- Sarsgaard, Poehler, Dratch, Sudeikis Thoughts- This was a funny little skit, and I enjoyed the performances of Sarsgaard and Sudeikis. Amy talking about the kids being 9 and 11 was the highlight of the skit, as was Sarsgaard being excited about the stock tip. The ending killed it a bit for me, but I liked it for the most part. ***1/4 The Strokes Thoughts- I liked this a lot better then the first song. It was more fun to listen to and watching Fab play the guitar is always enjoyable. ***1/4 Sarsgaard SARS Guard Thoughts- People in Toronto still remember SARS, you insensitive bugger. This was another uninspiring skit in a series of them. I mean, they do TWO skits about the dude’s last name. Come on!! I laughed at a few lines, but Peter Sarsgaard is just not funny. I’m sure he’s really unpopular at parties. *1/2 The Bottom Line- Avg. skit was *.97 making this a horrible show. I think with Steve Martin coming and with this guy hosting, SNL decided to take the week off and just phone it in. As long as Martin’s show is good, that’s okay and I have no problem with that. Peter Sarsgaard was awful and they weren’t going to get anything out of him if they tried. The two best skits didn’t even involve him! The next show is so key though. They got good shows with Baldwin and Black, but they need to make the Steve Martin one count. All eyes will be on SNL and they cannot screw it up. No more disappointments like Jason Bateman, this one must live up to expectations. I hope they’re up to it. Thumbs Down

You can't spell Rando.

Where do you see the answers? I got 20/33

The Leafs get their usual embarassment tonight. But Montreal....wtf?

Wow, you're a dick, eh? Considering there's already a thread about this and the guy is just plugging some BS, he's in the right

The triple threat match wasn't that good, and no, the matches were not all carry jobs.

We have Anaheim v. Ottawa on at the Sun, it's a good game.
