Earlier today, as I was once again watching
the
SNL skit for
"Taco Town", it
hit me:
Why the hell hasn't anyone tried to make this taco yet? So, I set the Squad (and Slashfood folks) to
task: Someone try to make the pizza crepe taco pancake chili bag ...
for real. And eat it (or at least try
it).
Sarah of TV Squad and Slashfood has said she'll attempt this crazy creation, though
she could use some
cheering on. Let's get this puppy made, people!

After the unbelievable buzz that the "Lazy Sunday" video created, SNL
had a lot riding on this, the first new episode of 2006. Save for the few mediocre sketches that we've come to expect,
this was pretty good episode. Scarlett
Johansson hosted (while she didn't mention it in her monologue, she's obviously promoting her new film Match Point) and she had some extremely funny

that's good because like anything on this show, if they overuse it then it gets old fast.

with the audience duties at SNL. He was there last night and in case you couldn't figure it out, that Pat
Robertson thing (while funny) wasn't supposed to open the show. He said there was a Hardball sketch which
included Sudeikis as Tom Delay and Forte as Zell Miller but it died during the dress rehearsal so they cut it. The
Robertson cartoon was supposed to be part of the "Darwin" bit that aired later but they squeezed it out and
put it at the front of the show. Hard to believe that Hardball was that unfunny, but Pat Robertson
claiming that Fred The
Baker was killed because he desecrated bread and filled it with Bavarian creme was hilarious.
