Posted on January 27, 2013 by ilmozart

Adam Levine admitted it himself — this is him overreaching and trying acting. But there was some funny last night. Not much, but some… First off, Adam’s monolog. Sure the Voice spoof was a given, but it was cute – … Continue reading →

The Kyle Maclachlan SNL episode from 1990 is really the gift that keeps on giving. I previously posted “All Things Scottish” and now for the sketch that I can’t remember anyone else ever referring to – outside of my own … Continue reading →

Posted on October 3, 2012 by ilmozart

Tonight will be the first of the 2012 Presidential debate between Barack Obama and Mitt Romney.  Rather than watch Mitt and Barack go at each other, especially now that Mitt’s got his “zingers” I thought this debate might be more … Continue reading →

SNL Classics: Red Ships of Spain

Posted on August 15, 2012 by ilmozart

For so so many tangible reasons and many that are intangible, this is one of my absolute favorite SNL sketches. It has all the necessary components: Will Ferrell, Chris Parnell, Alec Baldwin, and wonderful, terrible songs. But yet, I feel … Continue reading →

SNL Classic: Middle-Aged Man

Posted on July 24, 2012 by ilmozart

Yet another Mike Myers classic. There’s just something wonderful about the opening sequence, with the old man shoes, the shuffle/run down the street, the hunch, and the slowing down to catch his breath. Without saying a word in that opening, … Continue reading →
