Jason's "surprise take" after Hader delivers the his line about the worst thing he ever did was priceless...I don't know if that was a live tv directorial genius shot call, or a one of comedic timing, or both...but it still holds up after repetitive viewings...it's been over a week, and it still makes me laugh out loud.And yes you're right...the character's name was Jame Gumm...I totally shot the pooch on that...it's been awhile since I saw Silence of The Lambs.Samberg's Rickman impression was weak, but in the context of the last gag in the sketch, it actually worked to the advantage of the gag...it made Hader's line all the more impactfully shocking, which was the intent of the gag.....his bad impression of Rickman as Gruber set it up perfectlyAndy's really inspired when he's working either in the Lonely Island context (D in a B, J in my Ptz, Space Olympics, etc, are...genius) or in the more controlled environment of "Digital Shorts" but he always seems to be weak in the live broadcast sketches. Maybe he just hasn't found the right character to really let his talents shine in the "Live" setting.SNL has always been driven by the invention of memorable characters...Kristen W. is old school in that regard, but perhaps those days are starting to be over.... fragmented content is so more readily available via online portals, recurring characters maybe aren't as necessary to stick into the pop culture consciousness as they were during the pre-historic days of broadcast TV, VHS best of tapes, and DVDs.....It's more of an "Instant Classic" world, and Samberg's talents seem to be more suited to that reality than the old SNL model.   See 4 other replies

Bill Hader was very good (although his name is pronounced Jame, not Jamie)... and the rest sucked actually. We can't get a better Alan Rickman impersonator?Even Sensei John Crease, which is less about voice and more about pattern, was bad.   See 4 other replies
