    I just encountered a perhaps-impersonator whilst walking my dogs. A cute Asian girl with big, red-bowed pigtails and grey polyester plaid pants, talking loudly into her cell phone...


    wait for it...


    ...in front of a restaurant *hula-hooping*.

    That sounds about right. Smelling vaguely of cased meat?

    Armisen's Lou Reed = Brilliant; Armisen's Obama = so awful it was almost funny, only not the way Armisen intended. Would love to see a black woman on the show if only to redeem Ellen Cleghorn's unremarkable tenure. And a gay. SNL needs a gay.


    And if you don't like it call the PC-police on my caraml ass. Bleh.

    I'd like to see Jordan Peele on SNL. The most hilarious (and ridiculous) thing I've seen is the fact that they didn't sign him up earlier. I guess his Snagglepuss wasn't "spot-on."

    My vote is for Donald Glover, his Obama impression is spot-on.

    I don't see why they can't just have Kristin Wiig play him.

    @Colonel Mustard: Precisely! The show is satire, not the West Wing. Put Kristin Wiig with the Obama ears and a suit and let her be freakin' Obama.

    @cinema13: Seconded. No. Playing against race or gender in other skits is fine, but they've never hired anyone other than a white male to play the US Pres. Doing so now suggests that because Obama is black he's Other, so anything's fair game.


    Goddamn it, did the weekend start yet?

    What are they going to do about Michelle? They just hired two new girls neither or them black. I really hope they hire someone else besides Mya Rudolph to do it.

    @usepenandpaper: I know... first off, Mya doesn't even work there anymore, so they have to lure her back each time. Also, as talented as Mya is, she looks nothing like Michelle.

    Black men aren't unusual on that show, black women, a rarity.

    Yeah, not this guy. Just, no. Better than Armisen, but that's not saying much.

    Yes, please, hire a black guy. But don't hire this one to do this impersonation. It's not working for me.
