Really and Oh My God is always a funny bit(even when the show is going bad) My favorite joke of the night: OJ Simpson broke up with his girlfriend of ten years, not OJ breaking up but regular people breaking up.

Originally Posted By SingleParkPassholder I think the letdown was no Tina Fey, but that can be quickly overdone. Overall, the show was ok. The opening debate was hilarious. The fix it guy was not funny, and the Hall and Oates thing left me cold.
Originally Posted By mele Yeah...I didn't think the show was too funny. And while I'm always up for a Hall & Oates joke...("I'm Oates") it went on a little long.

Originally Posted By SoThisIsLove With my post here, you guys can now talk with the next five.......fire away! So, for Sunday, DH and I will be working a concession stand at the Cowboys vs Cardinals game. I'll be seeing one of my close friends from high school. She just divorced her husband of 35 years. They're my age and he had been seeing a 62 year old lady on the side for the last three years! Wow.....that's just plain weird, huh? xoxo

Originally Posted By Inspector 57 <<OJ Simpson broke up with his girlfriend of ten years, not OJ breaking up but regular people breaking up.>> LOL! I forgot about that. That line did make me laugh out loud. <<Asking the simultaneous questions was pretty clever.>> That was a very funny concept, but not great as parody. In the real debate, all Brokaw did about the length of the candidates' answers was whine. <<I think the letdown was no Tina Fey>> You nailed my reaction, SPP. I had been so amazed by SNL's recent Palin-based skits that this episode sort of disappointed me. But, in retrospect, it did have its moments, as pointed out on this thread.
