Jonas Brothers May Act On SNL.
From MTV:
Saturday night, the Jonas Brothers will make their big "Saturday Night Live" debut. The boys have the distinguished honor of being the night's musical guest, and Joe Jonas admitted that getting the chance to be on the show is a dream come true.
"I think you get a little nervous with different things," Joe told MTV News earlier this week. "But I think it's gonna be cool to be on 'SNL.' I mean, I've always wanted to be on 'SNL' and I think it's going to be awesome."
Joe, who has previously shared with the world his desire to be a stand-up comic, hopes that he'll have the opportunity to show off his comic chops on the show. "We hope to do that. That would be a lot of fun!" he said.
Kevin added that he too would love the chance to get in on one of the sketches, but has yet to see what sorts of characters they'll be playing. "Who knows, we have a couple of rehearsals this week," he said. "So we'll definitely get to see what happens."
If the guys get the chance to act on "SNL" this weekend, it will be a good preview of what fans can expect from their upcoming Disney sitcom, "JONAS" The guys just wrapped up 18 episodes and are nearly through with production.
"We are loving the show, we are having a blast doing it, and we are really excited for people to see it," Kevin said. He recalled his favorite episode, the plot of which sounds a bit like the Michel Gondry film "Be Kind Rewind." "[There's one episode where] we destroy all of our home videos and we have to remake all of them, and it is really fun. It's really cool."
YAY.

Samberg, Meyers and Armisen on 50 Hottest Bachelors
Andy Samberg, Fred Armisen and Seth Meyers made Six Mag's 50 Hottest Bachelors.
The list is odd to say the least, and features a lot of literary guys like Salman Rushdie who, despite his purported literary genius, looks like a creepy goblin.
Also, Fred Armisen can't be classified as a bachelor anymore. And what's with the absence of Will Forte from the list?

Incredibad? More like Incrediboss!
I'm talking about Jorma Taccone, one third of the Lonely Island, who kindly sent me a signed index card complete with advice on how to become a writer (it's my little dream, get over it!) and a miniature drawing of a giraffe.
And! Yes there's more!
It only took one week to get from Ireland to New York back to Ireland.
That's what I call efficient.
Jorma, if you ever stumble upon my fangirl blog, you are totally boss. Incrediboss, even.

Bradley Cooper/TV On The Radio
Cold Open: Decent opener, made me smile a few times, but I feel like they really could have ran with the Pelosi thing, and just as it seemed they were getting into it Kristen screamed "Live From New York, It's Saturday Night!"
6/10
Monologue: Bradley Cooper got off to a good start with the monologue. His energy and enthusiasm was infectious, and I liked the How To Act Like A Bully Tutorial, and the montage of his various appearances on Inside the Actor's Studio. And James Lipton was there!
8/10
Today Show: I have to say I'm really enjoying the Today Show sketches. I loved the banter at the start of it, though it didn't seem to play well with the audience (then again nothing did, but more on that later). Cooper's appearance was amusing also, but a little too brief for my liking.
8/10
Gonna Have Sex w/ Your Wife: We hadn't seen a gameshow sketch for a while, so it was time to bring it back. This had a fairly tihn premise, and Bill's expressionless face was all that kept me laughing. One of the weaker ones.
5/10
I'm On A Boat: I heard the song the other day, and I didn't see what was funny. But I will swallow my words, and say I rather enjoyed this short. The song itself isn't on par with Jizzed in my Pants or Dick In A Box, but the video was funny, and I liked that Akiva was featured. Also, T-Pain needs to host Saturday Night Live or something.
7.5/10
Funeral: I'm growing a little weary of these sketches, but I can't argue that they're actually some of the best-written recurring sketches on SNL. They literally never fail to make me open my mouth in disbelief and laugh. This one had a great finale also, that I won't ruin for anyone that didn't see it.
9/10
TV On The Radio 1: I literally don't know how they did it. SNL always finds a way to make the best bands in the world "sound like ass". (That's a quote I found earlier that I thought was suitable.) Golden Age is one of my favourite TV on the Radio songs, and this live version was actually hard to listen to without grimacing. The acoustics and amplification were just weird. I urge anyone who didn't know TV on the Radio before the show, and has decided they suck, to download Golden Age. You won't be sorry.
Weekend Update: Weekend Update has become the most consistently funny segment on the show, aided in no small part by Seth Meyers and his assuredness and precision. This week was no different, with solid jokes, a fantastic Really?!? about Michael Phelps, and great guests. Bjork was my favourite, as we hadn't seen her in a while. (Don't bring her back again too soon!) Her zany questions kept me giggling throughout, particularly "How is your skeleton?"
10/10
Hockey Players: I didn't really like this sketch, and I think it was because of Bobby. I thought the others did a good job, but I would have preferred to see Andy play the kid. Bobby made the kid sound a little slow and it just didn't work for me. The "Is it okay?" joke wore thin, and did not become any funnier when repeatedly yelled.
5/10
Bad Guys, Good Conversation: I enjoy impression-oriented sketches, so while this was not one of the better ones, I liked it. I thought everyone did a great job, particularly Andy who I wouldn't credit with being good with impressions, but did an awesome job here. Bill was hilarious also;
"You're barking up the all-time wrongest tree!"
7/10
Drinking Problem: This kinda seemed like something thought up in the early morning hours that may have seemed really funny at 4.00am while drunk with exhaustion, but it didn't translate here, and I thought it was the worst of the night.
4/10
TV On The Radio 2: I didn't want anymore TV on the Radio songs ruined for me, so I skipped forward.
No Bruce! Let Me Finish! - Loved it! Unsure as to why this wasn't featured earlier, but I loved Cooper's impression fo Christian Bale, and the other impressions particularly Abby Elliott's impression of Joan Cusack which I have been dying to see since seeing her reel. I loved Hammond's Jim Kramer impression also, and Bale's disillusionment with the clip they showed.
9/10
Overall:
Bradley Cooper was an energetic, fun host who surpassed my expectations. His dedication to every sketch, and his comic timing brought the show up a notch, and I think that under a lot of other hosts, this show would have been quite mediocre. The show wasn't the best of the season, but nearly all of the sketches were funny and Weekend Update in particular was fantastic. I was disappointed with the virtual absences of Abby Elliott and Fred Armisen, the latter of which wasn't given anything substantial tonight. But I suppose with the recent influx of new cast members, its hard to feature everyone.
7.5/10
Stray Observations:
-Joan Cusack! Joan Cusack!
-T-Pain is ridiculously blinged-up. Like, he's the ultimate stereotype rapper/robot.
-Alec Baldwin next week!
-Why did Drew Barrymore stand on the stage at the goodbyes? Fair enough if she was there, but why hog the camera for the sake of it?

Zac Efron to Host SNL April 11th
Word on the blogosphere is that High School Musical star, and might I mention star of the Lori Loughlin vehicle Summerland, Zac Efron is to host SNL April 11th.
Well, that's cool I guess.
But for reals, Efron seems like a good guy, so I'm sure he'll do fine.

Seth Meyers and Bill Hader Join Forces with Marvel To Create Spiderman Issue.
SNL's resident comic book nerds Seth Meyers and Bill Hader are to team up with Marvel to come up with a one-off Spiderman issue entitled "The Short Hallowe'en."
That's apparently a play on words that only comic book nerdz would understand.
Read all about it!

The above has buddy icons and desktops galore all featuring the Lonely Island dudes.
They are dressed in flairs, pink suits and Renaissance gear. Not all at once, of course.
"I want to go to there."
I know, I know.

I'm On A Boat
No, it's not the actual video. Just the audio for all the die-hard Lonely Island fans out there.
I literally couldn't tell this apart from T-Pain's other music, and the song itself doesn't even make me smile. It just makes me wanna crunk.
Is the music video funny?
Bradley Cooper/TV On The Radio
I haven't gotten a chance to see the episode, but post a comment and say what you thought! Best of the night/worst of the night/how were the musical guest?
P.S: Sorry about lack of posts this week, SNL wasn't featured in the news particularly. :)
