Everything with Fey-as-Palin was great, the Jon Hamm and Neil Patrick Harris episodes were grand slams, but SNL's been slumping lately. Isaac of ALOTT5MA agrees:
Has any SNL performer ever dominated the show as much as Kristen Wiig does this season? I happen to agree with the writers that Wiig is the best thing about the cast right now, and her Bjork (Iceland tourism jingle: "There is no sun/You are on fire/Demons take your face/Come to Iceland!") was the highlight last night. Still, it can't be good for the show to rely so much on one performer. She was the featured player in all but one sketch through the news, and she does something like 80% of the recurring characters the show has right now. She's going to get burned out or the audience will get used to her, and then what?And yes, the McGruber bit is starting to get a little old. Posted by Stephen Silver at February 10, 2009 12:33 PM
He legally had it changed to Pepsuber, remember?
