Least Valuable Player



Bobby Moynihan (unfortunately pictured) is the least talented cast member that "Saturday Night Live" has ever had.

I don't say that for hyperbole's sake.

I've been watching the show for over 20 years.

He's the worst.

He's supposed to be the funny fat guy: He is neither fat nor funny.

He's literally done nothing funny in his time with the show.

Considering this is a show that has given us John Belushi and Chris Farley, that *THIS* is the only zaftig comedian that they can find, is disgraceful.

Last night, his "Snookie" impression was the height of non-hilarity.

The only reason I like this guy, he gives me practice in using the fast-forward button on my new tivo.

Despite one clear waste of space, I think SNL has had its moments lately.

The Betty White/Jay-Z show was the highlight of the season.

It's a shame that wasn't the season finale.

The Alec Baldwin/Tom Petty show was tough to watch.

It's as if the crew wasted ALL of their good writing the previous week.

The skits weren't just bad, most of them were TOO long.

If a joke takes NINE minutes to develop, it had damn well better be funny.

There were a FEW moments worth mentioning on the positive side.

I really like Bill Hader's bit on Weekend Update where he recommends 'hot spots' in town. Still, it wasn't as funny as the first time he did it.

The microwave time machine skit was decent (albeit painfully long).

Alec Baldwin is a great SNL host.

He's a gifted actor and has comic chops.

Next time, perhaps you don't spend the whole week reading press clippings about the Betty White show, and instead, you know, do some actual writing.

Oh and Tom Petty, don't be afraid to play one of your hits.

A fellow SNL fan, will retort to this breakdown.

His comments will be posted in the comments section.

I eager to hear what "Diss Bank' has to say.

Please read it.

The worst part?

Next week they're airing the repeat with Justin Bieber (wish I were kidding).
