SNL Scorecard: Did Jim Carrey Save a Lackluster Show?

There was something odd about last night’s Jim Carrey-hosted installment of SNL . Between the promos featuring Carrey hitting on Kristen Wiig, his monologue proposal and the good-nights where Carrey emotionally thanked pretty much the entire world, it felt like the episode might have been one big Jim Carrey therapy session. The last time Carrey hosted, May 18, 1996, Carrey wasn’t too far removed from being the guy walking down the street wearing an oversized cowboy hat looking for a copy of the Rhode Island Slut . Now, we have a more mature, certainly a more damaged Carrey hosting for a second time — complicated by hosting on, well, a day that, due to current events, people did not find particularly funny. How did he do? On to the scorecard…

Who Scored Big in Week Ten of SNL’s Not-Ready-for-Prime-Time-Player Relevancy Poll?

So… is it safe to talk about SNL again? While I was trying to get as much sleep as possible in the foxhole that I embedded myself in last night , I got the feeling that a few of you were not quite as happy with Saturday night’s show as I seemed to be. But here’s the thing: In the scorecard I did mention that (the now polarizing) Jeff Bridges was far from the best host of the season and that Saturday was also not the laugh-out-loud funniest show of the season. I’ll admit, perhaps this is a flaw with the scoring system used, but what the Bridges installment had was a plethora of sketches that received a score between six and seven. Bridges had eight “good” sketches and only four “bad.” Put it this way: if every sketch had been given a score of 6.5, it would be the top rated show of the season. Having said all of that, I still very much liked Saturday’s installment. OK, let’s get to the poll.
