UPDATE: Well, that didn’t take long — Erica scored with the correct answer (and probably deserves a prize!): “I’ve got a fever, and the only prescription is more cowbell!” I am not a fan of modern-day SNL, nor do I think that Will Ferrell is funny, but that Cowbell skit is truly inspired.

Most of you know that I am a life-long atheist. I reject all assertions that there is a Superior Being, or Supreme Being, or God, or Gods, or anything else of that nature (so to speak). No God, no Jesus, no Allah, no Zeus, no Loki, no Juno, whatever they happen to be called. However…this headline almost - ALMOST - makes me second-guess my lack of belief. Getting rid of Tina Fey is sure to improve the quality of SNL. Maybe there really is a God.

Preliminary Review of the opening 25 minutes:
Opening Skit with Al Gore: LAME. No way around it. His non-stop poking fun at his loss of the 2000 election has turned into a complete and utter joke, except that it’s not funny, and no one has told him. Come on - it’s been more than five years, Al - GET. OVER. IT.
Monologue with Julie Dreyfus: Pretty good. A bit un-nerving to notice that Julia looked an awful lot like Molly Shannon. Great to see Jason Alexander, but it’s too bad that Jerry’s bit couldn’t have been a bit more involved. And where was Michael Richards??
Fake Commercial for the TechPack: a few years behind the curve — just a rip-off of the very real Scott-E-Vest.
“The Morning Show” skit: very funny! Everything went wrong, and it just got funnier! I actually laughed out loud when they cut to the “traffic report” and the entire crew was wishing Stan a happy birthday. Yes, I actually laughed out loud during an SNL skit…can’t remember the last time that happened!
