Saturday Night Live Andy Samberg / St. Vincent Episode Discussion

learned:

* when the crowd screamed, we all thought it was gonna be the real Beyonce. it was Maya Rudolph. still deserving of screams.

* this is the first time in history where i found out the breaking news from the SNL monologue rather than CNN. Casey Kasem is found, and i really need to reduce my busywork and get out more.

* camp skit: loved Kate's affected kid voice, it was pitch perfect. funny how the ones you find cool at that age are really only the ones who happen to be 14 and have windswept hair.

* all hail the return of the digital shorts: there is something communist about raves but in a good way, it brings people of all stripes together under one dominating beat. we are not in control of our destinies, we are all slaves to dance.

* St. Vincent: offbeat, off-rhythm funky electronica, i'm a sucker for that. i hear she's a private person. that's a beautiful trick to pull off in this internet age.

* i never went to prom. i'm a blogger.

* Kristen Wiig came back just to make out with everyone. that's dirty.

* it's like Fred Armisen never left, he comes back onstage and resumes corpsing and everything.

* LOSE: Noel? Milhiser? Brooks?
KEEP: Stefon and the rest of the cast.
MARRY: Nasim.......and Kate, wink wink.

* weird at the end there with the goodnights and at the end of Weekend Update how there was no indication that this was a finale of any sort, that this would be the last show for 3 months. no "have a nice summer.". it was just the end of another SNL episode...
