    I love Rob Thomas, and I really want to get excited about everything he does, but why does it sound like they all suck?

    Or maybe I'm just bitter that we never got a Veronica Mars movie. #thecw

    The Casey Wilson anecdote is absurd--first of all, the woman is far from fat. There was nothing about her size that made her unpleasant to watch. There was, however, something about her acting, so I'm not really sure why her axing needs an excuse.

    If it's true, it's ridiculous that Casey Wilson got canned because someone thought she was "overweight." She has a nice body, I wouldn't put it past Lorne Michaels.

    Come to think of it, Lorne probably gave Michaela Watkins the boot because she was slightly older than the majority of the cast. You know Lorne's stupid saying when he's not feeling sure about the show, "When in doubt, go young..."

    @Smitros: I mourn the day that hot-and-curvy Jennifer Connelly got the Hollywood message that "serious" actresses have to be wafer thin and uber-emo. (And then won an Oscar after she did it. Sigh.)

    Is NBC so desperate that it needs its top news anchor to enlist the President to tout Conan and SNL? And why wasn't Obama asked to rate the comedic style of Jimmy Fallon? Oh, I see.

    In reply to Obama Disappointed By Fred Armisen's SNL Impersonations
    If you read Doonesbury, the recent comics of the Obama White House emphasize the same point: he's not make-fun-able! Admittedly, it's very early in his term, but he hasn't yet shown any clear character traits that would allow him to be made fun of well in a four panel or two minute increment.


    Disclaimer: I'm not an Obama fangirl, and he's disappointed me many times in his term, he just doesn't seem to have many hilarious personality quirks.

    @spitneybeers: I agree that's the issue. The writers room must be like, "His ears are big!" "He like french mustard on his burgers!" "He likes to act, uhm, like a gentleman and takes his wife out to romantic evenings in the City!"


    A skit on how he's gone back on some of his early (and late) campaign promises would be even less entertaining. For my money, Armisen does a fairly accurate, if thoroughly boring, impression.

    Phil Hartman was such a star, and Clinton and Bush were much better fodder for comedy. One of my favorites: Bill Clinton Visits McDonalds:

    Well, Obama, there's always "Mad Tv"....Keegan Michael Key does a decent job, and I LOVE when Debra Wilson does Oprah and Michael McDonald does (did? he left I think) Dr. Phil.

    In reply to Actually, You Would Like Obama When He's Angry
    Originally, I hated The Rock for ruining "Escape To Witch Mountain", which I have some very fond memories of. Why a childrens' movie would have the word "pimp" in it ("Don't go in the pimped out fridge") just shows how terrible childrens' movies are nowadays. (Cf. "Coraline", the first childrens' movie in years to not have a single poop/fart joke.)


    But The Rock's opening monologue/dance number got me to watch and every sketch was pretty decent.


    Personally, I think The Rock should be a regular cast member - possibly replacing Kristen Wiig.
