Uh, what's up with the awful suit, Jim? As the editor for the world's primary men's fashion magazine, why did you dress like you want to sell me a 2004 Honda?
@easternsike: One correct guess, one fail. Please try again! OK, I'll make it a bit easier: The correct guess plays a smart-mouthed sister to a serial killer in a very popular Showtime series.
I have that same bamboo-patterned shower curtain. Some of the leaves form a pattern that looks like the face of Ursula the Sea Witch. #saturdaynightlive
I think JJ's performance was a combination of awful writing and her limitations as an actress. I was hoping to see some kind of range, since I've only seen her as Betty Draper and always thought she was very convincing.
To me, the problems were evident in the opening monologue. The writers didn't showcase her at all; they diverted our attention by focusing on three die-hard Mad Men fans. That should have been a hint right there. For most of the show, she just stood around with this vacant thousand-yard stare. I really wonder whether the show planned to use her more, but dialed back her contribution because she was so bad during rehearsal.
The writing shares much of the blame. It was worse than usual, and that's saying something. It's really bizzare that with some hosts, SNL can be hilarious (Alec Baldwin, Justin Timberlake, Jim Carrey) and others, not so much.
I can't say this performance will spell the end of JJ's career, as she'll get by on her looks. For me it answered the question of whether she can pull off any role aside from BD: no, not really. #madmen
Am I the only one that wants to see her return to Mad Men? I don't really want to see Don whore it up and not have to face any reperecussions from an angry wife. And it was just SNL! The material she had to work with wasn't great and the show doesn't provide a good platform for everyone. She may not have a career as a comedic actress but you guys are acting like this is the death knell for her career. #madmen
@heywhat: I think she's great in Mad Men and have never understood this notion that she's a terrible actress. She had me in tears more than once, and I totally bought her as a miserable housewife who desperately hoped there was more to life than tolerating a cheating husband and dreaming of an actual real marriage with someone who loved her back. #madmen
