it was simply bad.
The old guy--I think he did a much better impersonation of Obama.

I am very disappointed in this weeks Thursday SNL show and last weeks too.
Seems to me that back in 2008 the extra Thursday shows were much better,
but I do not really remember what they did in those two any more.

a few okay moments, but not much beyond a very few.

(1,488 posts)7. You're right!
The show's in 2008 were much better. Happily, these are the only two they are planning to air on Thursdays.

was the mock advertisement for the "replacement refs" TV series.
It came on at the very end of the show.
Otherwise, terrible.
