I gotta admit, every time I see this skit on "Saturday Night Live" (SNL), I crack up. I'm literally cackling like a hyena -- hysterically, most times in the fetal position.
Introducing Grady Wilson, with special guest co-host Costas, better known as Alec Baldwin.
SNL has been on something of an upswing of late. Last week, Hollywood's latest "it" girl -- Betty White, wowed everyone, including those Facebook fans who got the attention of both NBC and SNL brass to get her booked on the show. It was the highest rated episode in 18 months. Looks like the fans knew what they were doing. And might I add, women rule. This was their special Mother's Day episode, and with vets Maya Rudolph, Tina Fey, Molly Shannon, Ana Gasteyer, Amy Poehler, Rachel Dratch and Betty, they rocked the house!
And as a personal aside, I LOVE MAYA RUDOLPH!! The woman is one of the funniest comedienne's I've ever seen. Her Whitney Houston impersonation -- hy-sterical!
Here's an old one --
This week's iteration with Alec Baldwin is the 2009-2010 season finale. Baldwin's appearance ties the other record holder Steve Martin, with 15 guest host appearances. Where are the women who can match that?
I love SNL -- which turned 35 this year, but this tired mothership needs a huge re-infusion of women both before and behind the camera to get it back on track to relevancy and hysterical laughter.
