Last night's Saturday Night Live episode was sadly disappointing. Christopher Walken is usually a great host (probably the third-best SNL host ever behind Steve Martin and Alec Baldwin), but this time he seemed like he was trying too hard to be himself (killingly deadpan), so he ended up coming off as someone doing a bad Christopher Walken impression. Walken's acting was also terrible - he made no effort to hide that he was reading from a teleprompter the entire episode. And in his introduction to Panic at the Disco's second song, he almost forgot their name (which was actually pretty funny, though it wasn't supposed to be).
There were a few high points to the episode: the "Laser Cats" digital short, the opening Clintons sketch, and the Walken family reunion sketch. Otherwise, it was an unsatisfactory show, certainly not one worth looking forward to all week long as I did.
