Tonight was a great episode. We saw the returns of not only Dana Carvey, but Mike Myers and Jon Lovitz in cameos. Mike Myers appeared in the opening sketch, in which they did, what else, but Wayne's World. Wayne and Garth listed their Oscar predictions, and still couldn't get over the fact that a movie called "Winter's Bone" came out, and handled it in true Wayne and Garth fashion.
In the opening monologue, Dana Carvey sang about how his cast was the greatest cast ever, and Jon Lovitz made his appearance, joining in a duet.
We saw the return of several of Dana's characters, including Garth, the Church Lady, Mickey Rooney, and Regis Philbin. I would have loved to see his Paul McCartney impersonation though.
We also saw great performances from featured cast member, Paul Brittain, when he played James Franco during weekend update, lampooning on the fact that Franco does a lot of stuff (a lot of movies, General Hospital, hosting the Oscars, directing, etc). And he proceeded to to the next joke on update. Then, minutes later, Seth Meyers asked, "James, what are you doing?" Then cut to James Franco holding up cue cards. "I'm doing cue cards now!" Man, James Franco is busy.
Abby Elliot gave a great performance as Chloe Kardashian, and Anna Faris. As well, we saw a great performance from Jay Pharoah as Eddie Murphy (spot-on!) and Bobby Moynihan as Snooki. Bobby's Snooki always makes me laugh. However, I do think that Lorne Michaels is relying a lot on Kristin Wigg, and needs to put more attention on the new featured castmembers, as well as the newly promoted castmembers (Abby Elliot and Bobby Moynihan). All in all, great show. Russell Brand is hosting next week. I called my mom while in between commercials, my mom is a huge Dana Carvey fan, and I had to explain who Russell Brand is. Chris Brown is the musical guest--what the hell?
Oh, and Just Bieber appeared for some reason.. but he did do a funny parody of the movie "The Roomate" with Andy Sandberg, and was funny in the Church Lady sketch.
ISN'T THAT SPECIAL?
