Ditto.

I think her last two or three years she took away from the other female performers because she was in EVERY frickING SKETCH. I think she was responsible for the firing of Abby Elliott, Michaela Watkins, and Casey Wilson. Elliott was a very solid performer, Watkins was easily as creative and funny as Wiig. Wilson needed a bit more work, but I enjoyed it when she had her few sketches. Luckily for Wilson, she has made a career in sitcoms. Not sure what Watkins or Elliott are doing.

I'm sure tonight's show will be funny because of the writing and lots of "special guest stars". Vanessa Bayer, Nasim Pedrad, and Kate McKinnon will be but bit players tonight, I bet.

Cold Opening: CSPAN Benghazi hearings; Jodi Arias as witness. Not funny. Poorly rehearsed.

D

Monologue: Typical--Wiig running around backstage and singing a song. Not very funny.

C

The Californians: I HATE The Californians

F

Commercial: Disney Channel--"Aw Nuts! Mom's a Ghost"

Great concept. Kind of short on laughs.

Lawrence Welk Show w/The Merrill Sisters

I love this skit. This isn't one of the best ones, but it's still great.

OVERALL GRADE: C

I don't understand the Californians skit. Is this supposed to parody some show?

you know how Maine Justice was kinda a parody of court room shows but nobody outside of LA really cared for it?

pretty much the same thing. it's a parody of a generic soap opera, but nobody outside of California is going to get it
