Saturday Night Live: No Al Sharpton, Boston gets Chris Farley and Phil Hartman.

I was surprised to see Steve Martin on Saturday Night Live this week, and was even more surprised to see Chris Farley and Phil Hartman!

All four NBC affiliates in Iowa, where the Jan. 19 caucus represents the first major test of the Democratic nomination battle, said last week they wouldn't air the show. NBC's Boston station -- seen in much of New Hampshire, site of the first presidential primary -- also didn't show it.

Did the Boston station make thier decision at the last minute? I never heard anything about it before or after the show.

Doesn't anyone care?

At least show us Weekend Update. I love that.


I just found a transcript of Jimmy Fallon's interview with Paris Hilton:

JIMMY FALLON: "Is it hard to get into the Paris Hilton?"
PARIS HILTON: "Actually, it's a very exclusive hotel, no matter what you've heard."

And I love when Tina Fey does Arnold. Classic! I suppose that will end up on a 'Best of Tina Fey' episode some year.

The opening was amazing. After realizing that we were not being shown the live show, I started looking at all the people who were in the cast back then. Mike Myers and Chris Rock too. Good cast.

Can you believe that we used to think that Steve Martin saying, "Well, Excuuuuuuse Meeeee!" was funny?
