I haven't laughed at the cold opening of 'Saturday Night Live' for years now. That Debbie with her tiny hands and retard behavior is the best.
And how cool was it to see Betty White get all that applause at her entrance? It may be trendy to say it but she's the best and I always thought so. She often was on 'Match Game' in the 70s and I LOVED that game show. It's my favorite one ever.
Her monologue was very sweet and funny.
ONLY time that McGrubber was ever funny.
I loved that they brought back some of the girls from SNL past. Only Betty could talk about her 'muffin' and get HUGE laughs. "My muffin hasn't had a cherry since 1939." Sure, hearing an old woman say 'lesbian' is pandering to the lowest levels of comedy but I laughed like a ticklish monkey.
I also didn't mind Jay-Z one little bit. Have I been missing out? That rap of his was TIGHT! You can see all the care put into the rhymes and the beat. He actually tried to do something I hadn't heard before with all the interrupted cadence. Again my people, its all about the EFFORT! His first set was LONG but I loved it all. Somebody tell me what the song is called.
SNL, you WOWED me with that first half. Why can't you be this good every week? Now you have NO excuse because I know you can do better. You proved to me that you CAN be relevant and 'appointment television' once again.
Mya Rudolph did the most awesome Whitney Houston imitation I have ever seen. "Bobby Brown!!!"
I love that 'scared straight' sketch every time because those three in the chairs, I think, have no idea what is coming. They can never keep a straight face. Next to the Taylor Swift version this one was tops.
Very sweet to do 'Forever Young' as the last song.
Best SNL in a long long time. Betty is the best.

I agree - an episode of SNL hasn't been that consistently funny for a long time!
It was the best so far .
Metal Betty was my favorite.
"There was a worm in my hair, then I slept on the worm, then it fell in my soup..."
That is the first time I have watched SNL at all for a long, long time. I think I gave up on it when Dana Carvey's annoying ass was still on it.
As for Jay Z, I don't really listen to him, but def appreciate his stuff. Someone, maybe Ice T, on a VH1 special said he never rights out his songs. It is all composed in his head.
I love that Denise character with the tiny doll hands that Christian Whig does. That character and Gilly send me into hysteric. It was that line you quoted but especially at the end of that speach when she started to go all 'do do bedo bedo'. So funny and so retarded.
I've started saying "they're only allowed upstairs" as code for someone acting like a retard.
Possibly the best SNL ever! That Betty is one sexy minx....
She is AsBlack...like William Shatner she GETS THE JOKE and is totally game to do anything and not worry about how it affects her IMAGE.
That Betty is alright.
