SNL gets it right....

Last night, Will Ferrell stopped by the last prime-time “Saturday Night Live” of the election cycle to reprise his wonderful impression of our sitting President George W. Bush. Honestly, the dude is the best W. that I have seen! Anyways, Ferrell’s W. visited with Tina Fey’s Sarah Palin and gave her some advice for “important job”. Some mockery oh John McCain, Dick Cheney and others followed. Here’s the video so you can see the faux awkwardness between Bush and the new Republican candidates.



And word is that Maya Rudolph will be reuniting with her onetime fellow cast mates to embody Michelle Obama this weekend on “SNL”, which will be hosted by the insanely hot John Hamm from “Mad Men”. Rudolph will also be appearing in probably the show’s last “Bronx Beat” with Amy Poehler who is set to depart from the show after the election in preparation for the birth of her first child.

SNL and Real Time hits politics on its head....

How would we get through election cycles without the media mocking our politicians and SHOCKINGLY talking straight to Americans? On Friday night, Real Time with Bill Maher has Alec Baldwin, Christiane Amanpour and Gary Shandling sat down with Maher to discuss the bailout, the VP debate and the course of politics at this point. And in their own jocking manner, they ripped on the state of gov't in the United States. And oddly enough, Baldwin had the most concise and true point of view - everyone is to blame for this mess. Below is a clip of him and the other panel members debating the role of Republicans and Democrats in the economic downturn and our "rescue bailout" plan.



On top of that, SNL this week's only high points were the political skewerings delivered by the cast. And it seems that it could be the only strong attribute of the show continuing to pull in an audience nowadays. This weekend's was actually full of political satire. The below sketch on the bailout plan is a perfect example of what Baldwin was discussing in the above Real Time clip. While it goes on about two minutes too long, it just illustrates the nonsense that is partisanship within government right now and the lack of owning the mistakes from EITHER side. Enjoy!

SNL revisits the Katie Couric interview with Governor Sarah Palin

Oh Project Runway...when will the fun end.

This weekend Amy Adams hosted Saturday Night Live and frankly, she was gosh darn funny! She has quite good comedic timing, which you will see if you rent Drop Dead Gorgeous and her uncanny resemblance to Kristen Wiig was enough to create multiple sketches celebrating it. But, my personal favorite was Amy Poehler as Project Runway's fierce winner Christian Siriano. SNL mocked the reality format Bravo uses so well and here is the end product.


I said it last week that this kid is TV gold and I am pretty sure out of any of the PR winners, he is the one most of us want to see again and again. As long as he increases his vocabulary past the word "fierce" and "I want to die".

And here is some more news for you Project Runway fans:

* Apparently Tim Gunn does does not like Victorya Hong. He lets us know this and other juicy things about Season 4 of Project Runway in an interview with The Chicago Tribune.

* And Victorya responded to Blogging Project Runway. And by responds, I mean talks shit on Tim Gunn. Can't we all just be friends?
