Courtesy of Hulu, here is a video of the spoof of the recent Democratic Party Presidential Primary debate between Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton. It makes fun of how some members of the mainstream press fawn over Obama. This skit churned up a bit of debate over having Latino-Asian actor Fred Armisen portray Obama. If you miss

In this recent Saturday Night Live, also known as SNL, skit, Senator Clinton and Senator Obama were debating on CNN. The 1st question of the night went to Senator Obama, asking if the reporters could get anything for Senator Obama, a pillow perhaps? Senator Clinton got several questions that made her look bad, but Senator Oba

Once again Saturday Night Live presents a skit spoofing the current US Presidential Primary campaign between Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama. This time they went after the infamous 3 AM call during a crisis. This humorous clip has a few good lines in it but it also raises serious questions about Presidential crisis management

One of the funniest things I've seen all day is the video of Brian Williams on SNL. In all honestly, a Brian Williams SNL appearance is about the last thing in the world that I would think would be funny, but they did a great job with it.

I still watch Saturday Night Live every week, mostly for a few skits and to see Weekend Update. The newer SNL Digital Shorts are always fun as well, from the “‘**** in a Box” to “Lazy Sunday“.

Since the show is done live and most of the sketches are written in the week or two preceding a performance, the WGA Strike killed any new episodes

Vic's Million Dollars and One Pencil post today reminded me of this famous Saturday Night Live skit. I found it on Hulu. It's Chris Farley at his physical comedic best playing the dysfunctionally negative motivational speaker Matt Foley. This clip is the first time Farley performed the character of Matt Foley. Foley's catch phrase is that

I had applied to be on the Hulu Beta back in October but I didn't get an invite until a couple of days ago. This is a new online video service that's being offered by NBC, Universal and some other TV studios. To demo it, I've used their clip embed service to place two classic Saturday Night Live skits in this post. Check them out and let m

You caught me. I admit it. I've been goofing off watching Saturday Night Live video clips on Hulu rather than writing serious blog posts. Here's one about Eych, the hairball remedy for cats. If you're a cat owner you'll find this one hilarious. I know our cats have asked for 'Eych' by name quite often. Also, let me know how the video cl

In Hollywood we're used to seeing stars go to great lengths to deny parenting a child until DNA tests are ordered. Or until the kid comes out with the exact same hair color and features as the mom's suspected lover (Hello, Prince Harry.)

But Tracy Morgan likes to get these things out in the open. While presenting an awar

1. Don't get down and dirty with Hillary. Your entire campaign is based on not being that kind of politician. I am not saying you shouldn't fight back. Stay with what has worked for you so far (you're ahead, remember) and imitate the greatest boxer of all time, Mohammad Ali.

Ali was a great counter-puncher. He danced like

Tina Fey comes off as so absolutely down-to-earth and normal that I've been waiting for some freaky secrets to come out about her. Like maybe she brews batches of meth in her coffeepot, or forbids all of her co-stars on 30 Rock from making eye contact with her unless they spank her first.

But everything I read about her ma

I hope Saturday Night Live will have Ron Paul host their show. I'd bet that would be one of the highest rating shows in the last decade. Traditional media is absolutely, positively, one hundred percent biased against him. (This is not an endorsement for Ron Paul. I'm still undecided but I do believe democracy should be based

I never thought overexposure was a bad thing. But after this week, I'm convinced that it can work against you. Obama is leading Hillary. The momentum is in his favor, but the thing working against him is overexposure in the "non-biased" media.

Everywhere, I hear Obama this and Obama that.

Once the media picks a horse

Two music videos from indie rock darlings "Vampire Weekend", performing live on this past weekend's Saturday Night Live. There's an enormous buzz surrounding this NYC outfit that amazingly combine the sound of "The Strokes" and seminal singer/songwriter Paul Simon. If you're a fan of either, then I'm sure these music
