30 Rock Puts Will Forte in a Dress

There has been a not-so-quiet bit of backlash surrounding 30 Rock this season, as its status as the funniest show ever has worn off. This is partially NBC’ s fault — and really what isn’t? — since by putting 30 Rock fourth on a schedule of four comedies, they have created a situation where the audience is facing laughter fatigue by the time it airs. But the blame also rests at the feet of Tina Fey. Too often this year, the narrative plotting has been forgotten from episode to episode. Like, remember Jack’s “have to make a decision!” love triangle from last week? Well good, because you were the only one, since the show made nary a mention of this big decision last night. But then Will Forte showed up in drag and all was forgiven.

Gabourey Sidibe Hosts Saturday Night Live: Precious

The most satisfying part of last year’s endlessly endless Oscar season? Watching Precious star Gabourey Sidibe turn into “Gabby,” the bubbly and energetic girl that killed on talk shows and made everyone — but Howard Stern — fall in love. So it should be no surprise that her appearance on Saturday Night Live followed suit. Sidibe charmed, delighted and elevated even the lamest skits to laugh-worthy heights — see: the should-have-been-bad-but-was-really-funny Mrs. Johnson sketch — and, unlike last week’s host Ryan Phillippe, she seemed genuinely happy to be there. As a result, this turned out to be one of the best episodes of the season. Check out the Mrs. Johnson skit and more highlights — including a bit from Will Forte that basically reinvents awesomeness — after the jump.
