Thursday Update: Show Open - Debate
Obama and McCain debate the issues; Featuring Bill Murray and Chris Parnell
Chris Parnell and Bill Murray makes alumni appearance. Current SNL players include Casey Wilson, Fred Armisen, Darrell Hammond, Bill Hader, Bobby Moynihan (Kenan Thompson and Andy Samberg in the background), Jason Sudeikis (Andy in the background again), Kristen Wiig, Andy Samberg! (as David Kip), Kenan Thompson.
Chris Parnell looks pleased that the audience remembers and appreciates him.
So some people have said that they don't think Fred's Obama impression is funny. I think the reason is that Fred concentrates so hard on getting the mannerism, that his Obama becomes the "straight man" that everyone else plays off of. He only makes fun of his stammering and the time it takes for him to answer anything and get anything out. It's a dry character that relies on the other characters to build any comedic moments. (The alien story gets close, but it's still about serious meandering.)
Andy Samberg in the background!!!
The wandering McCain is hilarious!!!
Nice Bill Murray appearance. It looks like they just handed him the card two minutes prior and said, "Here. Read this."
That ended hilarious with the simultaneous questions from Andy Samberg and Kenan and the simultaneous answers (and more hilarious wandering). Great opening to the show!!!
