SNL’s Lance Armstrong Cold Open

• Lance is the model celeb for our time. He just had the misfortune of not having as good a PR and support cartel as the rest of the phonies.

  • Armstrong is a bent cheating narcissistic bullying monster who should be brought up on charges.

    he is a nightmare and a disgrace. he isn’t really sorry either: either for trying to destroy the people who spoke up against him, or for cheating his way through sport all his life.

    he should be pilloried and mocked and ignored for the rest of his life as a useful social signal and lesson to other would be cheats.

    He is simply scum – narcissistic scum.

• Why can’t Saturday Night Live mock the Alex Jones Piers Morgan debate? Who would play Alex Jones?
  The only person I can think of is Ty Olsson (who is not on SNL) who played Deputy Andy 1 on Eureka season 4 for two episodes.

• That was the only descent, half-funny sketch of the night. They were at spot when they made Te’o look like he is brain damaged idiot. And he can’t even complain. After all he wants us all to believe he is

  Armstrong non-apology was correct. And joke about “not finding OWN channel”.

  And Jodie’s coming out, when she was “GAYmed on”, is “LESlie Nielsen fan” was spot on. That’s how it looked in her speech.

• The only person who can get away with a terrible British dialect is Dick Van Dyke. Everyone else needs to hire a dialect coach and do some actual work for their paycheck.

• You know, I’ve seen people question Jodie Foster’s speech all week. It’s not complicated people. Every time you question what she meant, it pains me as I see our nation becoming dumber and dumber. Is your attention span that short that you cannot follow a line of thought through a speech?

  Here it is, plain and simple. Jodie Foster acknowledged that she was gay years and years ago. What she was trying to do was show people that it didn’t matter though. She thinks a private life should be just that, private. She was using this very public platform to spoof the idea that a celebrity has to make every bit of personal information available and known to the public.

• The one difference is that some celebs/sports stars just lie for their own survival- Armstrong destroyed people. He’s just a dick who deserves to have all his awards pulled from him and I hope lose many more millions!

• Armstrong goes to prison.
  If foster doesn’t get privacy keep it to herself instead of using an honor award for politics,;
  millions of people e chat fakers every day for years.

• Best skit of night.
  Armstrong didn’t have good PR or strong damage control because no reputable firm would take him on. His attempted mea culpa was in vain, he still danced over questions minus the first y/n’s. The world saw him come across as a man minus a soul. He destroyed countless people along his way. let’s hope somehow he can turn it around – pay monies back, have monies really go to cancer research and not these ‘yellow’ banners.
