I simply adore Kristen Wiig. She's a chameleon and although I could do without the Gilly sketches, I really like Penelope. I also think her impression of Kathie Lee Gifford is spot-on.

I make sure to PVR every new episode, but I won't lie, I find myself doing a lot of fast forwarding. The show churned out some great talent and I find that they are missing a step since Maya Rudolf, Tina Fey and Amy Poehler left (IMO).

The Weekend Update is funny sometimes, but Seth is always smiling and it's distracting. Not that I'm complaining...I like seeing his cute face. I like to search YouTube for old Weekend Updates and it's interesting to see how the feature has evolved throughout the years. Norm MacDonald put an interesting spin on things, while Jane Curtin is probably my favorite female anchor to do Weekend Update: "Jane, you sult!"

It's hit and miss these days. I think that has a lot to do with personal tastes. A lot of friends told me they loved Jim Carrey's Black Swan skit, while I hated it. On the other hand, I thought Dana Carvey's recent hosting gig was outstanding, and some friends commented on how weak that episode was.
