I hardly watch the show but specifically Tivo'd this weekend's because of Timberlake. I squealed when I saw that Jimmy Fallon returned to do Barry Gibb since that was my all-time favorite skit from the past few years.<BR/><BR/>The only total bomb of a skit from this episode was Amy Poehler's extremely UNfunny Nancy Grace bit towards the end of the show. Just appallingly bad and I can't believe Lorne let it go on for as long as it did (it felt like an eternity but was probably only three minutes or so). Other than that, and Justin's singing (gag), it was a nearly perfect episode.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17517257.post-1166484645571642602006-12-18T18:30:00.000-05:002006-12-18T18:30:00.000-05:00My only disappointment (well, I've never liked the...My only disappointment (well, I've never liked the Target Lady) is that there wasn't a Smigel Christmas cartoon this year.Machttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03092217234287469255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17517257.post-1166480737431041272006-12-18T17:25:00.000-05:002006-12-18T17:25:00.000-05:00My only gripe: I assumed they were saying "c*ck in...<I>My only gripe: I assumed they were saying "c*ck in a box" in the bleeped version, and I find that even a little bit funnier. </I><BR/><BR/>Aw, that's what I thought they were saying, too!

Halfway in, I was thinking how much I liked him, and then he sang and I recalled why I don't own any of his albums. Still, he seems to throw himself in and have a lot of fun with the cast. I think being willing to really integrate with the cast goes a long way in making an episode great.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
