Host: Christopher Walken
Musical Guest: Panic! at the Disco
10:31 — I just actually thought Amy Poehler and Darrell Hammond were the Clintons. Holy shit.
10:34 — Christopher Walken has hosted “one hundred” times — this show is his centennial, he joked — yet still has an opening monologue that is simple, funny and not boring. You don’t always need someone singing and dancing to distract from the host in the beginning.
10:39 — Ugh, I forgot Panic at the Disco is playing.
10:41 — I still think that Annuale commercial is hilarious. ( But I can’t find it online, its deleted everywhere)
10:43 — I never realized how inappropriate Grease was. Ew.
10:55 — Walken plays a psycho freak really well.
10:59 —Lasercats Three!!!
11:00 — Christopher Walken in Laser Cats. Wonderful.
11:02 — Next week’s guests are Ashton Kutcher and Gnarls Barkley…ah, like a throwback episode to things that used to be cool!
11:04 — Kristin Wiig seems to have the same bizarre intensity in each role she plays, and it’s amusing, until she takes it too far. If she reeled it back just a bit, she’d be fantastic.
11:13 — The lead singer of Panic! at the Disco is playing an acoustic guitar, not exactly the right accessory for his black pants-vest-button down shirt pop punk look.
11:14 — Actually, he has a great voice. I wish he was using it on better songs than this radio pop, hook-heavy piece of crap.
11:20 — “After Gov. Bill Richardson switched his support from Hillary Clinton to Barack Obama last weekend, an angry Bill Clinton said, ‘five times to my face he said he would never do that.’ Wow, so he looked you right in the face and he lied to you. What’s that like?!” — Seth Meyers on Weekend Update
11:30 — Bill Hader and Amy Poehler do fantastic Christopher Walken impressions.
11:31 — Especially Amy Poehler.
11:32 — Haha, it’s a Walken family reunion. I get it. This is awesome. How have they not done this before?!
11:34 — On getting a drink: “You drivin’? “Drivin’? No, I’m Walken!”
11:37 — Walken is playing a man who is scared of plants and puts googly eyes on all of them. My money’s on this being an Andy Samberg-writting sketch, but who cares. Plants with google eyes are so fucking cute.
11:41 — I don’t know how I feel about this Amy Poehler/Tina Fey surrogate mother movie. It seems watered down to appeal to the high school boy audience in order to make more money, but when I view it as an excuse for Amy and Tina to hang out and work together, I’ll gladly contribute $5-$9 to it.
11:48 — TV is coming back this Thursday!
11:50 — The lead singer of Panic! at the Disco’s mic was practically off. Didn’t SNL learn their lesson with Ashlee Simpson’s sound debacle?
11:58 — Wow, the rest of Panic at the Disco is hideous.
