So, there's Dane Cook, who I'm not a big fan of. And I don't know what's going to happen to the show without Tina Fey as head writer... how long has that been?

Anyone else here planning on seeing it? Or am I the only person who still watches SNL?

I like Dane Cook, he does good stand-up. I'll probably watch the first 1/2 hour. I have to get up early, and SNL always goes downhill after that anyway.

Dane's kinda hit and miss in my book. A little too weird to be consistently funny.

Dane Cook confuses being hyper-active with being funny. A handsome face will get you far though.

That's what I've always thought. He doesn't really tell jokes. He just spazzes out and makes crazy faces and screams and that's supposed to be enough.

Maybe it's just me.

Dane Cook is amazing. By far the best comedian I've seen. Instead of just standing there perfectly still, he actually GETS INTO his sketches, which are funny because they're so true; most of 'em anyways [Wink] .

I'm half way through Weekend Update. Man, I think this season is gonna suck. [Frown]

Yeah, I miss Tina already.

I hope her new show is worth it. She picked a crappy time to come up with that idea, though, what with Aaron Sorkin, Matthew Perry, Amanda Peet and the like.

I thought the thing with Condi and Clinton was hysterical.

But then, that's probably because I think Darryl Hammond is the only really good cast member left.

I kind of feel sorry for people who're young enough to believe that SNL has been funny even once in the last decade.
