Mik 0 Report post Posted April 18, 2005 I thought Tom Brady was a good host. None of the skits had me rolling on the floor in laughter, but they were mostly entertaining. Seth's Peyton Manning was pretty funny too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheBostonStrangler 0 Report post Posted April 18, 2005 Yeah, I'm wondering where it is too. It's a nice staple of my Sunday night. Damn you for not providing me free entertainment! I enjoyed it thoroughly, although there were a couple weak sketches (notably the jazz singer one). They should have done the Manning/McNabb one earlier in the night too. Overall, I enjoyed the show a lot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
smh810 0 Report post Posted April 18, 2005 Barron is going back to NY tomorrow and doesnt have computer access right now. I thought it was surprisingly one of their best shows this year. Tom Brady did an admirable job as host (and wasnt overly reliant on cue cards), Dr. Phil and the Smigel cartoon were tremendous and the Jiminy Glick commentary was the best WU segment in YEARS (and I say that with all due respect to the commentaries in recent years).

Vern Gagne 0 Report post Posted April 18, 2005 When Horatio for the one millionth time started giggling during the Restaurant sketch, i turned the station. Also, why was Martin Short playing Jimminy Glick? He should of gone old school, and broken out Ed Grimley. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Evolution Report post Posted April 18, 2005 I think Short is getting a movie based on his Jiminy Glick character, which kinda surprised me as to why he didn't even mention it during that commentary. Dr. Phil and TV Funhouse were my two favorites of the night, as Hammond's Dr. Phil impersonation is dead on. I fast-forwarded through another celebrity food chain thing, and I agree the McNabb/Peyton/Brady thing should've been done earlier in the night: I get the feeling it was going to be his monologue but perhaps they felt it wouldn't reach enough people.

Jericholic82 0 Report post Posted April 18, 2005 saw most of it. Brady seemed comfortable doing live tv. He also comes across as very likable. Horatio sure screwed up that indian restaurant skit. I like how they always have the celebrity restaurants in northern new jersey. and they always mention them as being next to Derek Jeters taco hole (a kit they did when DJ hosted in Dec 01, which was a much funnier skit than this one sadly) I missed lots of parts so I cant give a full rating myself. I did enjoye the carnival skit when brady kept missing the football target, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Probably because that's what everyone expects... It's been over twenty years since Grimley's been around. Do you really think the younger viewers, even know who that is? Besides, I don't find Jiminy Glick the least bit funny. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chazz 0 Report post Posted April 19, 2005 Guess I'm In The minority because I thought It sucked big time. Brady did the best he could, but the writing was just horrible as It has been for the majority of this season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Probably because that's what everyone expects... It's been over twenty years since Grimley's been around. Do you really think the younger viewers, even know who that is? Point. So how about this then - viewers have a faint idea of who Jiminy Glick is, so SNL used him instead of Grimley, since they were afraid that viewers might look and go "who the fuck is that?" Anyone know where I can get bittorrents or the like of past SNL episodes I may have missed? I would've loved to see this. Still haven't found anything. Sorry.

That likely was the case. SNL could of introduced Ed Grimley to a new audience. It's a small thing, but Grimley imo is a hundred times funnier than Jiminy Glick couuld hope to be.

Mik 0 Report post Posted May 13, 2005 Show was so bad he didn't want to do it? It was a pretty bad episode. Now that's it's nearly a week later I don't even remember anything except the Jackass style opening. But Will Ferell is on tomorrow - bob should save his energy for that one.
