Ehhh...
I've seen worse. There was some really good stuff here. It was great to see Maya Rudolph back full-time, even if it was
in two recurring roles that I don't really like. Although I think she officially rejoined the cast a few weeks ago,
right?
I've said before that I don't mind if they reuse old commercials, as long as they're good ones. They
repeated "Baby Toupees" and "The Totally Rad Smoke Detector 3000" in this episode. Except for Fred

After a three-week hiatus because of the Olympics,
Saturday Night Live is back this weekend. The gorgeous (seriously, just look at the picture of her with a
shaved head) Natalie Portman will host and the musical guest will be Fall Out Boy. It's the first appearance on the
show for both Natalie and the band. Natalie will be sporting a short hairdo and will hopefully be making fun of the
fact that everyone is freaking out over her shaved head in her upcoming movie,
V is for Vendetta.
Then, on March 11, Matt Dillon will host while Arctic Monkeys, the band that everyone is talking about these days,
will be the musical guest.
