Hilton on SNL
 

Did anyone just see Paris Hilton ~ham~ it up with Jimmy Fallon on Weekend Update?

Brilliant. To me that was one of the crowning moment of SNL over the past twenty years. Extremely well written and fantastically executed. Jimmy Fallon as good as they come, as always, Tina looking dashing in her scarred lesbian beauty, as usual, and hosted by the brother of brothers, the rev, the big AS, the next President of the United States, Al Sharpton.

Paris just answered alot of questions, after being asked none, essentially ending all discussion about any alledged scandal, and presenting herself as a beautiful, hieress. Exactly what she is.

The skit with all those white boy pres candidates was exceptional as well. Never figured Edwards to be ~the eye~ for the straight guys. It works.

PR, top shelf. Entertainment value, amusing. Longevity, assured.

over,

very funny did any one get a rip of it?

Don't you talk about Tina that way!!!! :D

They showed the Best of Steve Martin here in Iowa.

haha ya some citys refused to show it and then got insulted
because al sharpnin is runin for prez
take that

am i the only one that hates jimmy fallon?

yea I kinda hate Jimmy Fallon also. Go figure!

Chevy Chase was the best Weekend Update newsman with Dennis Miller in second place on my list. The Recent people (~past 10-12 years) haven't really impressed me for the most part.

Kevin Nealon was the worst thing that ever happened to Weekend Update... except for Colin Quinn. The guy practically had to beg the audience for laughs. "C'mon! That was a joke! Laugh, it's funny!"

You'd think charisma was necessary for Weekend Update. Colin Quinn sure disproved that theory.

Chevy Chase is before my time. I would put Miller number one, and Norm McDonald (shout out to me hoser brethern) second.

I have no problem with Fallon. I especially like Tina Fey. She is apparently a long time (10 year) writing staff alum who got the nod from Lorne of a life time. This is the first time SNL has offered a dual host format. It's actually the first women as well I believe.

I think Tina and Jimmy play well together. I have really enjoyed WU of late.

Paris' cameo this Saturday was spectacular. Al Shaprton's hosting and participation was pretty good too.

out,

OK, now I feel old.
Chevy Chase and Jane Curtain were the first hosts. (duo and with a woman...I was happy to see them return to that format)
"Jane, you ignorant slut"

Fallon/Fey even close with the same line from Chase/Curtain: "Good night and have a pleasant tomorrow." I knew about Chase and Curtain and I don't feel old, so I don't see any reason for you to. :)

I stand corrected. I always thought that Jane was just a frequent contributor to Chevy's weekend update. Was he solo before or after Jane? I remember his sign off of "I'm Chevy Chase....and your not."

BTW...When I offered that Chevy was before my time, in the 70's I was but a single digit aged youngster (born in 70), so I wasn't a frequent viewer. Obviously I remember him, and have even seen the reruns, but WU is very topical and current affairs based. Miller came along when I was a regular SNL viewer, I had a little more then a sophmores grasp of the worlds going ons, and had the most impact on my experience.

I thought it was hilarious! I don't normally watch anymore, but I turned it on just in time for this segment. "so there is a Paris Hilton", "I'm a star, and I'll need to access the rear entrance". My 10 year old was laughing with me, and of course he didn't get the jokes, but I laughed out loud!

HAHA!!! I never watch SNL any more, but i turned the TV on just as it was ending, when everyone was together waving goodbye. I saw someone who looked alot like Paris Hilton, and kept thinking "Wow, I didn't know there was a Paris Hilton look-a-like on the the cast. She REALLY looks like her!"

I'm apparently a dumbass who can't tell one pop culture celebrity from a hole in the ground... :lol:

I gotta go with Norm MacDonald as favorite SNL anchor..... I could definitely see why you might not like Fallon, I don't mind him most of the time, but he does get on my nerves....

Fallon's okay on Weekend Update. But he ruins almost every decent sketch he's in by cracking up. Tina Fey's the real star of Weekend Update.

If you want to see the sketch, just go over to www.fallonfey.com

They've got every Weekend Update segmant with Fallon/Fey ever. Usually I don't bother watching SNL anymore and instead just watch these whenever they get uploaded.

I didnt see it, but I read the IMDB newsblurb about it, and it sounds pretty daggon funny. If anyone has a link to it, please enlighten us.

I loved Chase and Curtain, they will always be the benchmark for SNL news. But Fallon and Fey are also great. It's true that Fallon can't always keep a straight face, but that just makes it even funnier! Fey is also a senior writer for the show. She's funny and cute!

Thought Paris was a hell of a good sport about the whole thing, considering the subject. She held her own very well, even though it was obviously scripted.

PH: There are Hiltons in New York, London, Paris..
JF: Wait, there is a 'Paris Hilton'?
PH: Yes.
JF: Is it hard to get into the Paris Hilton?
PH: Actually, it's a very exclusive hotel, no matter what you've heard.
JF: Do they allow double occupancy at the Paris Hilton?
PH: No!
JF: Is the Paris Hilton roomy?
PH: It might be for you, but most people find it very comfortable.
JF: I'm a VIP. I may need to go in the back entrance.
PH: It doesn't matter who you are. It's not gonna happen.

"ya'll come back now, ya' queer!"

I loved last week's WU.

That was Dan Akroyd and Jane Curtain.

I thought that was horrible. I turned off SNL after that because I'm pretty sure staring at the wall would have been funnier. I didn't find the jokes very funny, impersonations very good, and the same jokes were drilled over and over (ok, Edwards isn't assertive, we get it).

i though it was a great skit but eh some do and some dont i did =D

that skit was one of the best lately. I miss the old casts :(

I was looking forward to this episode and we got Best of Steve also in OKC.

Man I always miss those good SNL moments. But I refuse to watch it regularly.

SNL has been horribly bad for quite a while. They need some new blood. I liked Tina Fey and Jimmy Fallon when they first started Weekend Update, but now realize that their jokes have kid gloves on (they're just too PC) and their self-concious delivery ("look at us, we're telling news jokes, and if they bomb at least WE get it and still have each other") sucks.

Weekend Update= Norm Mcdonald. Hands down the best for that job ever...

Awesome, been looking for the Will Forte sex tape

WU Norm and Dennis were my favorites. I still use the "Jane you ignorant slut" line occasionally. Classic. But McDonald and Miller were my favorites as I grew up.
