Tonight, Paul Rudd (“The Object of My Affection”, 1998) hosted Saturday Night Live, and the show lived up to expectations – as one of the gayest ever.
The funniest sequence occurred early. Paul and Andy Samberg took turns drawing nudes of one another, with a blurring in one necessary place. Funny, Samberg kept his shirt on, but Paul would have pleased any connoisseurs of masculinity. Then, Paul and Andy took their pictures to Christie’s for an auction. The drawings were never shown, but the catastrophic effects on the audience were. Essentially everyone in the audience, as well as Paul and Andy, needed an exorcism.
Then, after head writer Seth Meyers started his usual routine (with the lavender Snaglepuss), Justin Timberlake intervened and became a second “host”. Now, Timberlake looks a bit restored to his former glory in the ‘Nsync days. (He hasn’t been that convincing on the golf tournament on “Ellen”. I winced at how he looked in “Alpha Dog” and “Southland Tales”.). Then he and Andy Samberg put on leotards and pantyhose (at least I think the smooth skin was artificial) and did some drag-show dancing, fit for a talent contest at the Town-DC. Rudd watched.
There was a “gay” dramatic short “Clearing the Air,” like what you see at Reel Affirmations.
Here is a short list for future hosts for SNL – that I would want to see. Everyone must go through “pledge week” Tribunals:
. Anderson Cooper
. Zac Efron
. Lance Bass
. Mark Zuckerberg
. Nate Berkus
. Blake Berris
. Matt Dallas
. Patrick Flueger
. Gregory Smith
. Chris Pratt
. Dillon Brooks
. Tom Welling
. Jared Padalecki
. Aaron Ashmore
. Chace Crawford
. Jonathan Chase
. Jim Sturgess
. Zachary Levi Pugh
. Blake Lively
I know a lot of people want Sarah Palin. How about libertarian Ron Paul?
They say, if you're an "entertainer" you can't get an ordinary umbrella rider on your auto insurance policy. SNL has plenty of "entertainers." I'm not sure that Michael Phelps was a real entertainer, however, when he hosted.
