Saturday Night Live

How hard is it to use Google translate or something for that opening sketch for Hu Jintao speech. Mandarin is the easiest to learn and fake. I know Will was supposed to talk underneath the translation by Nasim and that was the whole premise of the bit, but ugh it just felt all so "Step N Fetchit" without the makeup. SNL is starting to feel redundant with the same old sketch patterns : Game show, talk show. The only thing refreshing and new is Andy Samberg and his Digital shorts. He might not hit a homerun every time on each video, but I give him props for showcasing something new.Joseph -Levitt was ok. Too much emphasis on his musical background. Opening musical was enough, but it just got overbearing later. Whoever kept pitching him musical character bits shoulda stayed quiet. Yeah, yeah, you gotta cater to their interests and strengths but realize that live musical numbers are largely hard to watch unless they are shot/edited on video prior."What up with that" sketch is played out. Waaay played out. Funny the first time, now I turn the channel.Better than January Jones last week. She was more stale than week old bread.
