Check out this week's episode with The Rock (Dwayne Johnson) & Ray LaMontagne. It was off to a good start with some great promos from Andy Samberg...
The Rock & Andy Samberg Promo
There are so many hilarious bits these two did that they showed them all. I like the "Dwayne Wayne" bit at the beginning (from A Different World; just random) and the smiles bit at the end. The weight lifting bits were amusing but not as funny.
Kenan & The Rock Promo
Not only is Kenan not funny here, but I don't even understand what the joke is supposed to be for the first bit. Stuff like this makes me wonder when Kenan's time will be up.

That waitress at the end looked like she was watching the screen to see when she was on camera. Then she was like, "Oh I'm on!" You could totally see it in her expression.

The GOP leader drops by the Update desk.
Hmm. Why won't they show Andy Samberg's Cathy or Jessica Biel's Rabbit? That's the stuff we really want to see!
The good thing about Justin Timberlake is whoever he's dating he brings to SNL. First he got Cameron hooked on SNL, and now Jessica? Sweet! Keep coming back you two!!!
Update: Jon Bovi
The world's first opposite tribute band.
These guys are amazing singers! Will Forte shows it off frequently, but Jason hasn't shown it since Young Chuck Norris and the Sloths/Giraffes bits.
Will Forte's facial expression are hilarious.
Update: Cathy & Jessica Rabbit
This time Justin Timberlake appears as Irvin and Jessica Biel (Justin's babe) appears as Jessica Rabbit.
Wow. Andy's Cathy impression is hilarious!!! This is his second go with the character.
Jessica Biel absolutely nailed the Jessica Rabbit impression! Wow!!!
Keep it up Justin and Andy! You guys are hilarious together!!!

Hahahaha. They saved one of the best for last. This is my favorite skit of the episode. What do you think?
I thought it was funny that Jason Sudeikis was wiping the water off his eyes after he was already impaled. I suppose it was best to do this skit last because it must have been more time consuming to dry off after this skit.
Overall, this was one of the best episodes of this season. Every skit was amusing, and a few were hilarious. Even thought there wasn't a digital short, Andy Samberg appeared 5 times, and there were some very funny skits. Great job SNL!!! I also noticed that they used Abby a lot more than usual (5 times) and Casey less than usual (only 1 time).
Enjoy!
