    In reply to Saturday Night Special
    By the way, #SNL has some seriously horrendous hosts lined up for the next few weeks, so I expect lots of liveblogging in #SNS. Next week is Blake Lively, followed by Taylor Lautner(!!), followed by James Franco (who I respect for the whole soap thing, but seriously?), followed by Jay Baruchel, who I'm not sure has ever had more than four lines in any given movie. WTF?

    @DahlELama: One thing to remember about SNL. It's not about the quality but the PR. SNL is the equivalent to an appearance on The Rachel Ray Show now.

    @fatmonalisa: I think you're undervaluing it immensely, actually. I've never seen as many articles about Taylor Swift as I did after she hosted SNL, not even after she swept award show after award show. Not to mention how popular and even arguably influential it was during campaign season. People talk about how irrelevant it is, and yet they managed to get Obama, McCain and his wife, Clinton, and Palin all on air. That's a hop, skip, and enormous jump away from Rachael Ray.

    @DahlELama: James Franco, heh, his GH stint is surreal. He'll probably be good on SNL. Why Taylor Lautner was even asked to host SNL is embarrassing. Jay Baruchel?

    @DahlELama: Since you opened up the topic, can we briefly discuss the fact that the SNL rerun tonight with Gerard Butler (which is definitely from the current season since those two new women are in this episode) contained a sketch about '300', which came out close to three years ago? WTeffingF is going on with this show? Seriously. (I'm also fairly agog about Baruchel. Whoever manages him is either a very intimidating mafioso type, or, like, a warlock. [Oh my God, now there's a sketch on about 'Braveheart'. I CAN'T.])

    @JohntheCraptist: Yeah, basically Butler will be living off 300 forever because it's the only remotely memorable thing he's done. And I say this having never even seen it, but assuming it must be because otherwise I can neither justify this SNL appearance nor his cover feature in Esquire. I actually thought his episode was OK, especially in a particularly bad season, but I wouldn't like to see him host again.

    As for Baruchel, I'd put twenty bucks on the warlock. Just the fact that his name looks familiar to me is astonishing and clearly the work of the devil and some potion featuring eye of newt. The truth is, he may have comedic chops and therefore not be so bad at SNL, but I find the show a lot less enjoyable when I'm not familiar with the host's work.

    @jasonelias: Have you been watching it? I keep forgetting to check it out but I'm dying to see it. Taylor Lautner is the most embarrassing of all, but yeah, Franco will probably be OK, plus I'm pretty sure he's done it before.

    @fatmonalisa: You're right. It's as if SNL has abandoned any attempt to be funny and is now simply about the "gets", as if the mere presence of a novel or high-profile guest host or a cameo by a politico makes the show good. Last night I watched an episode from the second season. In Update, Jane Curtin made a vicious comment about the Tonight Show with Carson being dead after 15 years on the air. Well, SNL has become that Tonight Show.

    @croush1211: don't feel bad I am pretty anal about knowing who's who in the films i watch, and I usually win games of 6 degrees amongst my friends, but I didn't know who this kid was either. At least he's a comedic actor, maybe he'll have the best show yet.

    This is too funny, because this is PRECISELY the type of behavior one finds at The Tides, the beachfront family pub and restaurant in K's home city of Nahant, MA, where instead of like, champagne, it's Sam Lager, and you steal the pint while the real estate agent originally-from-working-class-neighbor-Lynn-but-now-from-tony-Nahant-by-way-of-association is pissing the first third of the Sam in the toilets with urinal cakes that are actually O-Cello sponges. Only to return to find you lickin' your lips over the taste 'o Koch hops. And PROPERLY kicks you out, you Nahant rich-boy cheapskate.

    Quel Messy Mary. Get thee to Betty Ford, tout de suite. Spectacles are glasses one puts on one's face, not something one should make of one's self. Thieving booze, causing a scene, making your ancestors' portraits weep supernatural tears- really, is it worth it?

    All Hamptons nightclubs, every single one, are flooded with the trashiest people one can imagine, and that is a fact. They're wealthy , or pretending to be, but seriously horrid and shallow people, flashing their bucks, paying like suckers to sit in some dive at $700 for a bottle of vodka minimum- frankly, they deserve every bit of the ambience people like this one supply. It's ghastly.

    So he's ending his career as an assy social-wiener to begin a new one as an advocate of social justice and equality for everyone, correct? Or is this stamping out of hatred only for times when its target is a be-bow-tied fellow in a Hamptons club (with what I'll assume is a totally egalitarian door policy) who has suddenly realized he's not at the top of kyriarchy pyramid?
