It's a little after 1 here and SNL just went off and I had to log in before bed to post that we (Bob and me, Victoria and Nick) thought Jake was wonderful. He was poised and charming and very funny right from the moment he took the stage. He gets it. SNL is satire and he picked up that ball and ran with it. He was clearly having a darn good time with it all. It could have been really cringeworthy as SNL often is but it was a very pleasant surprise.
Loved him saying that he had always wanted to host SNL and wanted to jump at the chance but that he only agreed if there were NO brokeback jokes, then loved his interaction with those cute cowboys in the audience, acknowledgeing his new fan base, He was brillant as the Diva Dreamgirl in drag...boy is he looking hot these days must be all that working out and bicycling. He was very cute in the Bronx interview and as the swedish rocker wearing "polar bear" and we all laughed through the Law and Order acting class...but my biggest chuckle of the evening came in the skit about fixing up the couple in the wheelchairs...everytime Jake delivered his exaggerated No I could not help but smile. Even the meatball skit was OK.
Anyway we all really enjoyed it.
