SNL Report

Posted on Sunday, October 24, 2004 at 11:56 AM

From a friend who works at NBC in New York… What happened last night on SNL was that Ashlee Simpson got caught using pretaped vocals. Like you said, singers do pretape and then lip-sync on the air. Usually the show frowns on this but sometimes during rehearsal it becomes apparent that the performer needs it. […]

We are, I suspect, long past the point where any opinion piece is going to sway anyone's vote for Bush over Kerry or Kerry over Bush. Still, I can't help but link to articles that I think make good points. The Orlando Sentinel is hardly a Democratic newspaper. They endorsed Bush four years ago but […]

Saturday Night Looped

Posted on Sunday, October 24, 2004 at 10:11 AM

What the heck happened with Ashlee Simpson's second musical number last night on Saturday Night Live? If you watched the live, East Coast feed you saw her introduced by host Jude Law…then the music started and her voice, obviously pre-taped, was heard but it wasn't coming out of her mouth. Instead of carrying on, she […]

Jann Wenner, publisher of Rolling Stone, writes a good endorsement of John Kerry. I'm not as sold on the Senator from Massachusetts as I'd like to be…but I agree with the negative assessment of Bush, and think Kerry could be a pretty lousy president and still be better than what we have now. […]

Plugging the Pussycat

Posted on Saturday, October 23, 2004 at 1:32 AM (Saturday, March 29, 2014 at 1:02 PM)

By now, you've probably watched Garfield and Friends, Volume 1 to the point of wearing grooves in the DVDs. You're just dying to get another two dozen episodes of the popular cartoon series that got me nominated for a couple of Emmy Awards I didn't win. Well, you've still got about six weeks to wait […]

Here's the kind of thing that drives up my cynicism about politics in this country, especially when it works. (The fact that the folks surrounding the President of the United States think it will work is bad enough.) It's the new TV commercial in which the Bush folks claim that John Kerry voted to slash […]

That Was Fast

Posted on Friday, October 22, 2004 at 12:47 AM

Corey Klemow (Corey, your tape is in the mail) comes through with a link to a site that has the Triumph "Spin Alley" segment up. I can't help but notice that a couple of the lines uttered by Triumph (Robert Smigel) sound like they were dubbed-in later. I would like to believe this was done […]

Funniest Thing on TV So Far This Week

Posted on Thursday, October 21, 2004 at 11:47 PM

Triumph the Insult Comic Dog in "Spin Alley" after the third Bush-Kerry debate…a segment shown tonight on Late Night with Conan O'Brien. I think they should forget about having Conan replace Jay and just give the job to Triumph. Someone will probably post a clip online. If you see one before I do, let me […]

Recycled SNL

Posted on Thursday, October 21, 2004 at 10:32 PM

If you're interested in seeing old episodes of Saturday Night Live that haven't been rerun to death, you'll want to set your TiVo or VCR next week. Very late Saturday night (aka very early Sunday morning), NBC is rerunning in full the 12/12/81 episode hosted by Bill Murray. This is from the season where Eddie […]

Promises, Promises

Posted on Thursday, October 21, 2004 at 8:43 AM

This checklist by the Knight-Ridder news agency lists 178 campaign promises made four years ago by George W. Bush. Despite his party's control of Congress for most of that period, they estimate he has kept 46% of these promises. By contrast, Bill Clinton — though saddled with an opposition Congress — achieved about 66% of […]

Bye Bye, Miss American Pie

Posted on Wednesday, October 20, 2004 at 2:35 PM

ABC has dropped their option to air the Miss America contest, dealing a severe blow to the pageant's pocketbook and prestige. Barring some major renovation that brings in Johnny Carson to host and has the contestants compete nude, I can't imagine any of the other networks picking up this brontosaurus. The pageant operators will probably […]
