    I think I'm going on SNL strike. Their writing has been so (SO) bad lately. They are in dire need to hire a more diverse cast.

    Also, it would behoove SNL to realize that pretty ladies can be funny and not just the "heehee! I'm pretty" girl standing in the corner (I say this in anticipation to Blake Lively).

    One last thing: I've lost all patience for Andy Sandberg. The Digital Shorts have been the opposite of funny this season. I know I'll get a lot of hate for this, but I haven't seen anything lately from him that proves him to be a good actor/comedian/person.

    @JessickerFletcher: I have gotten so much flack for my dislike of Andy Sandberg, but I really think that his shtick is more or less this:

    "Hi. I'm Andy Sandberg. I am attractive in that way that hipsters in their mid-twenties to early thirties find attractive. "

    @JessickerFletcher: I'll make the protest signs. What a dog, and with such talent, too. The first 3/4 of the opening credits are like 'Here's one doughy white guy... here's another.'

    And the opening bit, while funny (the first time they made the joke, at least), really made me realize – why the fuck can they not get an East Asian cast member? Or a redhead? Or a black woman? Or at least a non-whip thin brunette woman? Or good writers?

    @ApolloDampyre: The sad thing? I can see him actually saying that and then seeing hordes of "hipsters in their mid-twenties to early thirties" throwing themselves at him. It's also nice to hear I've got some allies out there.

    @Pizza!Pizza!Pizza!: It's like their key demographic was moronic, caucasian fratboys... oh wait. And if that is true, which I suspect it is, they could at least hire some hot diversity chicks (I'll even excuse the sexism if they can finally find some funny women).

    Oh, and um, Earth to SNL writers, if we all liked what moronic, caucasian fratboys liked, we'd be watching Dane Cook (and I'd be killing myself because Dane Cook and humor go together like water and oil).

    Also: You've both just earned yaselves hearts!

    My conclusions...

    SNL = meh
    JGL = awesome
    JGL's tailor = bravo on the package-hugging pants. Bravo indeed....

    I think if JGL were a puppy, I'd consider him too hyper to adopt. I would worry about him chewing all of my books and woodwork and destroying furnishings in fits of ecstatic joy.

    But as a host, gosh he's sort of charming.

    @JessickerFletcher: Agreed -- and he was a little awkward, but I prefer a host who's so committed he's insane to the ones who hang back.

    The writers thing, preach on. I'd love it if they'd hire a few of the British sketch show writers, just to break the East Coast Ivies club they've got going on and really shake things up. Like bring in some of the "Smack the Pony"-type girls. Brits: how to go wittily filthy without talking about shit or rape.

    JGL is so high-energy, I keep thinking, "He must be great in bed."

    And so we're back to where we were at the start.

    I liked the Say Anything sketch, even if it may have been 20 years too late. But the anachronistic nature of it kinda made it funnier, with the cassette tapes and such.

    Overall, better than last week. But that wouldn't have taken much. I loved JGL's dedication to this, even though some of the sketches were still just awful. Reba as Keenan? Really? Really?

    Oh, JGL is in a perfect position for me to tackle him and have my way with him. I would even try not to cough on him.

    I have never seen Say Anything. Partly because I am lazy, partly because high school movies give me bad flashbacks.

    I do love "In Your Eyes," though. It's my go-to 80s song.
