By now you’ve seen the infamous (and extraordinarily well done) clip of Tina Fey nailing a brilliant impersonation of Sarah Palin on SNL on Saturday Night. But what got overshadowed was Michael Phelps HORRIFIC performance on SNL. I’m not saying it was terrible, but the sketches he was in are making Vin Diesel look robbed for not taking home an Oscar.
Most appalling was how they basically stuck Phelps in the locker room for the same damn sketch Peyton Manning was in. Something tells me that little weasel of a head writer, Seth Myers, was behind that. I gotta wait months for a new SNL and I essentially get a rerun sketch.
Phelps had a short monologue and read of the cue cards worse than Christopher Walken. Lets just this fish, was out of water! (That would be my snobby, NYT-esque one liner!)
But on a good note there was a bizarre SNL Digital Short featuring Adam Sandler lite: Andy Samberg. Here it is. Pretty good. Video Below…

13SepA Big Ole Update
Sorry for the lack of updates, but life has been busy lately! So let’s get started!
*Season 2 of Mad Men is absolutely fantastic! Who wouldn’t love to be Don Draper? Actually, if I had to be anybody from the show it would be his white hair, slick boss (I believe it’s Roger Sterling, but it could be Cooper). Needless to say, its quality television and the type of show that the big networks should focus on making.
*If you have an iphone, the world’s best application is Photoswap. Basically, you snap a picture and it automatically swaps it with another picture taken somewhere in the world. You’re then given the option of replying to that picture. I’ve actually had some pretty funny conversations with it and was even introduced to a rather “voyerific” couple. It is really addicting and has become the hit of lunch time at my school.
*I’ve watched 3 movies today. First was Cable Guy, which I swear is funnier every time I see it. I hated it at first, but its really grown on me. Then I watched No Country For Old Men. Absolutely brilliant, but I hated the ending. But its a Cohen Bros. film so I expect that! Finally, I watched Own The Night. I loved this movie, it was a great cop flick. Plus Phoenix and Walhberg are the two biggest badasses in Hollywood. I think I would most want to be Walhberg, maybe its because of the “good vibrations” or the fact that he’s small and doesn’t take shit from anyone!
*Tina Fey is going to play Sarah Palin on SNL. Good call, but something tells me that Kristen Wiig must have really sucked big time at playing her if they’re going back to Fey to play her.
*Has anyone used the Comcast Tivo? I’m dying to know if its worth the upgrade.
*I’m reading a book right now called “Lies My History Teacher Told Me.” It’s been very fascinating, like did you know that Helen Keller was a socialist? Also, she once lost her hand while driving. She tried to read the Stop sign while going 50 mph!!! Hi-Ohhhh!!!!!
It’s been a while, so lets rack the brain for a few thoughts on all sorts of things:
*Started watching Season 2 of Mad Men. Absolutely a fantastically creative and well put together show. There is really nothing not to like about this show and if you haven’t watched, turn off House of Payne and go and catch up. One of the best dramas on TV.
*There will only be one more season of Flight of the Conchords. THIS SUCKS!!!! I’d rather wait 2 years so that they can get top notch songs than have them rush for every year. Is that so much to ask?? But as Jermaine might say “2 minutes in Heaven is better than 1 minute”
*I downloaded Google’s new web browser: Chrome. Good, but not great. I don’t really see the need to abandon Firefox….yet!
*Big ups to the McCain clan for truly vetting VP Palin. Gees cause apparently conservatives truly embrace teenage Moms. I personally know a ton of white collar people that supported Jaime Lynn Spears.
*Let me preface this with “I usually vote Republican” but Obama’s speech was truly amazing. I also think that Michelle Obama may be more impressive than him.
*The White Plains, NY train station is a straight up dump. This has nothing to do with TV, but everything to do with the smell of emissions and stagnant water penetrating your soul.
*If you have an iphone, the program “Simplicity” is a MUST download.
*We’re just a few weeks away from the start of a new TV season!!! I think this will be 30 Rock’s prime year.
*The guy that does all the movie voice overs died today. James Earl Jones would seem to be a fitting replacement.
*Is there a better store than Costco or Borders? If so, I haven’t found it!
