I thought Lady Gaga did the best she could with fairly weak set-ups.
I really enjoyed the bad cover version CD, that was great. I loved Taran Killam's 19th century speech reviewer. That had me cracking up, particularly when he said he has reviewed "all the speeches".
Gaga's final ski as an obscure senior citizen was funny but, to me, rather strange. Something very cynical at play there about her position in contemporary culture, particularly in relation to Empress Beyonce. Kind of neat to see SNL trying something different or dark with that one.
Again, all in all a pretty bland episode. Their Rob Ford skit was pretty weak. It is telling of the quality of the writers that that is the best they can come up with a week's preparation, when Jon Stewart and the Daily Show can do something way funnier with just one night.
