james franco was our last hope of the year to help pull off an excellent saturday night live. he proved funniest early on, in his opening monologue, sport of his career choices including his current stint on general hospital.
after that, i’m afraid, the smart charmer spent the night playing mostly secondary roles, or talking to christmas trees. (that was the entire joke of one sketch — a tree salesman talking to the trees: sheesh.)
remember last week, when i wrote that snl should he worked up a jersey shore sketch? well, last night during “weekend update,” bobby moynihan dressed up as snookie complete with “poof” and did a pretty funny version of the shore floozy (“guido is not a deroga-tony word!”).
the “digital short,” featuring the tizzle wizzle show, a parody of the current rash of hip-to-be-square children’s shows, was mildly amusing, with franco joining cast members dressed in their jammies, singing kiddie melodies while wielding knives and popping pills.
i also laughed at a
halogen bulb fraternity-hazing sketch. samberg was the pledge, and franco, jason sudeikis, and moynihan were so dumb, samberg’s hazing included showing them how to tie their shoes and explaining where babies came from.
