Cold Open: McCain Approves
Summary: John McCain (Darrell Hammond) approves of various semi-truthed Barack Obama negative attack ads.
I still want Darrell to do McCain, Tina Fey to do Palin, and Amy Poehler to do Cindy McCain in one skit. Kristen might be able to do a good Palin if they can't get Tina.

Digital Short: Hey. (Murray Hill)
Summary: While at a party at "Murray Hill", Sean (James Franco) deliberately tells women about his small ding-dong in hopes of impressing them.
Lonely Island got its start mocking TV teen dramas (The Bu) and has continued to do that on SNL (The Shooting / Dear Sister). This is a natural extension, but I didn't find it very funny.
The second woman is Blake Lively from Gossip Girl (thanks Anony, for the comment). Does she know James Franco, or perhaps she's just a fan of SNL and agreed to cameo?

-------------------
Overall, Andy Samberg was in the OJ Jury Selection, The Looker, and James & Willem DeFoe (no video). It's interesting in the last skit that Bill Hader played Willem asking James Franco to kill Andy Samberg for the portrayal Andy did of Willem.
I wish Andy got his own skit, but there were a few funny bits there that Andy added to.
Enjoy!

By the way, Andy Samberg has a cameo in the new movie Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist as a druggie.
