I haven't written about "Saturday Night Live" this season because I tend not to get to the show for a day or two, and very little of it is good enough to be worth writing about. ("SNL" can be funny during non-election seasons; this one just hasn't been.) I did watch a little of the January Jones episode last night, though, and other than noticing how much trouble she was having...

Some people are polite enough to not comment but I am not. Saturday Night Live has sucked this season. After all of my favorite ladies such as Tina Fey, Amy Poehler, Maya Rudolph, and Rachel Dratch left SNL the suckitude began. It just goes to show you that women are just as important to good sketch comedy! Anyway, last night's episode was hosted by one of my favorite giant crossover country singers...

While it lacks the visceral intensity of the San Francisco bus fight video masterpiece , in some ways this audio recording of a nasty argument on the D train is even more enthralling, because it leaves something to the imagination. (We're picturing Edith Bunker vs. Rachel Dratch.) Commuter Joellen Nicholson, who published the video on YouTube, calls it "just another night on the D train comin'...

Last week's season premiere of Saturday Night Live may have had America's Most Overhyped Sexpot Megan Fox as host, but this week's second episode ended up being the true Ladies Night, with divas in full force. Host Ryan Reynolds did that thing you do when your spouse is an even bigger star than you and brought along his wife (and soon-to-be Broadway actress ) Scarlett Johansson, who reprised her role...

BOTTOM LINE: There is nothing more ridiculous than reading a celebrity memoir. There is nothing more entertaining than having Rachel Dratch read it to you. Long live the comedians of the world. And long live the people who provide fantastic fodder for their jokes. Celebrity Autobiography: In Their Own Words is a hilarious 75 minute show, [...]
