Jimmy Fallon-Hosted ‘SNL’ Hits Season High

• Is this a surprise? Everyone’s home on break watching TV late on Saturday night instead of their usual bar-hopping binge-drinking, and Jimmy Fallon’s funnier than any host they’ve had this season. Plus Michael Buble is good with the Christmas music.

  • Am I the only person who notices that SNL now routinely uses white actors in ‘tan-face’ to perform African American characters (Obama, Hota Kotb, others)?
    You are telling me that Mya Rudolph was the last funny black woman Lorn Micheals could find?

• i wonder if the regular cast gets upset when old SNL cast members come back and 90% of the skits they do are with former cast members instead of the current ones.

• This show was pretty funny with Fallon. Much better than last week with Katy Perry.

• The show was good, the ratings terrific. NBC,I have an offer for you. Bump Fallon into The Tonight Show host’s seat and myself (36, income in the low six figures) and many more like me will resume watching The Tonight Show again. Or, you can stick with Leno and the dwindling number of home-bound 80-year-olds who watch him.

• Anyone notice Michael b sad or choked up on second song, was odd as if he’s never sang on live television b4 perhaps camera direction looking right into America’s living room was throwing him off. just watched it bck I don’t know his back story. Sans looks different and katan was under performing though perhaps there is a story there too. Actually enjoyed Fallon. Tonight show calls…. In 20 years.

• I thought Tracy Morgan hated Chris Katan? Didn’t he write a bunch of stuff in his book about hating Cheri O’Terri and Katan and that they were a couple of dicks that did nothing after SNL?

• Tv101, watch the original performance of the song in Meet Me in St Louis. Garland gets choked up. Perhaps this was Buble’s homage.
