I liked the episode too, one of the better ones for sure, and Kerry played her roles perfectly. Funny, energetic, smart and sexy.

I'm at a loss on how Huff thinks the Edward Norton episode was the best. Don't get me wrong, Edward is one of my favorite actors and I was excited to see him on for the first time. It's just that I don't think the show, or even he, was that funny.

He's definitely a method type actor, and while he can be funny in the right roles, I think it takes him a lot more than a week (or a few hours per skit role) to get into it and make it work. I think that was part of what we were seeing.

More impressions may have helped, if they had had a skit where he coulda played someone else famous it may have been real funny, instead of just a few of the top of the monologue. Like the way Bruno Mars did all those different artists for the radio skit last year. That was hilarious.

I also think the writing let him down on most of the skits.

And how was the sketch of the night 'Ice Cream'? WTF Huff? The first few parts were funny, but it fell into that ultra-repetitive trap very quickly.

Also a little over the top on the 'travesty' (my word) of not having a black female cast member. I agree that they should get one, and that there may even be a little shame in the fact that they don't have one, but that the 'season is tarnished'? Yikes. Find something important to get worked up about.

Who knows, maybe they have tried and haven't had any good try-outs.
