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.

10:49 — My (skinny) comedian friend Arthur and I were joking around about him gaining weight, and I mentioned that if he put on the pounds, people would only take him to be one of those curly-haired, jewish, chubby comedians, meaning he’d have to be over-the-top and yell everything he said. By the looks of the second sketch, this is exactly what Jonah Hill is.

10:53 — Christopher Walken and Panic at the Disco hosting the next episode? I’m already nostalgic about wonderous pairings like Wilco and Ellen Page.

10:58 — This Suze Orman impression is really funny.

11:03 — I can believe Jonah Hill just made out with a guy, but I can’t believe he just made out with a really old one.

11:14 — I have a mega crush on Seth Meyers.

11:16 — I have a mega crush on Amy Poehler.

11:19 — Tracy Morgan! In a Lacoste sweatshirt!

11:23 — I forgot it was Pi Day! Damn!

11:37 — Darrell Hammond makes a precious McCain.

11:47 — This country bumpkin album skit blows.
11:49 — March 22: Tina Fey and Carrie Underwood? You’re rerunning already? What, was months off of work for the strike not a good enough vacation?

11:50 — There’s no way Mariah Carey is actually singing the whole song. Her voice sounds exactly like the notes of a synthesizer, and when she’s separate from the track, it sounds weak and pathetic. And T-Pain is fake rapping and mouthing the words along with the track? And Mariah put on sunglasses to sing alongside him?

11:51 — Oh, and now she’s actually singing. What was going on before? Can she only sing super high notes? Blech. I don’t like her.

11:52 — Haha, that McDonald’s commercial would have made a great SNL short. I totally thought it was until the end.

11:56 — The last skit lately has been a confusing throw-away. Just because it’s near the end of the show shouldn’t mean its okay to have no ending.

11:07 — OK, so Vampire Weekend’s first song “A-Punk” wasn’t as horrible as I was expecting and hoping, but it sounded…weird. I’m not quite sure why, but something was muffled, and you can tell that the lead singers’ vocal range isn’t as high as their disc would make you assume. We’ll have to see the second song.

11:11 — Weekend Update. If my funny friend Arthur likes Tim Calhoun, I like Tim Calhoun. How is Will Forte’s hair so shiny? Best line: “Super Tuesday. If I was forced to make a choice, I’d choose soup. No offense, Tuesday.”

11:18 — This show would be lost without Amy Poehler.

11:20 — “Ugh. Kenan Thompson only has ‘Kenan Thompson man and Kenan Thompson woman.” — Arthur

11:27 — Amy Adams easily could have been cast as Pam on “The Office.” She even looks like Jenna Fisher, too.

Which one’s which?

11:46 — Zip Zop Zoogie? Zip Zop Zawful.

11:48 — Amy Adams’ dress to introduce Vampire Weekends second song? Just as zawful.

11:49 — I find it to be NO coincidence that they picked songs with such low vocals like “M79″.

11:55 — How the hell did Casey Williams get on this show? She’s so bad that she not only can’t hold her own, but distracts from every sketch.
