All right, last chance, “Saturday Night Live.” If you can’t pull your shit together with Jon Hamm as your host, then I will stop wa … well, no. I’ll keep watching, because the recaps are very weirdly popular on the site for reasons I don’t quite understand, except that our readers must really love to rubberneck live television trainwrecks, or be the 1,993,785,345th person to ever say, “This show is still on?” or the 9,342,856,325,428th person to say, “‘SNL’ hasn’t been funny in years.”

But I will stop watching in my heart, “SNL.” Don’t you screw this up for the best “SNL” host you’ve had since Justin Timberlake’s masterful multi-year run.

Here’s a promo for this weekend’s show, and if it’s anything like what we can expect from the episode, it will be bad writing that’s completely obscured by the dashing good looks and goofy charm of Mr. Hamm.


Oh, and here’s the cover of Russia’s GQ magazine. We get the “Glee” kids. Russia gets Jon Hamm. Communism doesn’t sound so bad now, does it?*

* Yes. I know, Russia is not technically Communist anymore. Shut the fuck up; it’s a joke.

This show is still on? SNL hasn't been funny in years.

Also:

FIRST!

and/or:

I'll be in my bunk.

He's pulling off the white tie very well. But I do not condone putting on a tie without shaving. Yet it happens on red carpets, without my permission, all the damn time.

Tacky!

The hair looks good too.

Given those promos, things aren't looking good.

Jay, I'd be happy to shave Jon Hamm to keep up to your lofty standards.

VERY happy.

Yes, AXOH XEMM is one handsome comrade.

I'm thinking maybe just running the still image of that cover for 1.5 hours might be their best choice for success.

I also read it as: "Here’s a porno for this weekend’s show..." and I was completely on board with that too.

Every time I see or hear his name, I just think of Ponyo yelling "HAAAAMM!"

Distracting. And I don't mind.

you know whats funny? i can already tell you that your suspicions of them fucking up with john hamm are already correct. they put him in the preview with keenan thompson, who is one of the least funny people on the show. thats almost as bad as putting andy samberg next to emma stone.

Lemme get this straight, I just had to watch a commercial to watch...commercials. Okay.

That being said, I for one will be watching this episode (and keeping it permanently on the DVR to the dismay of my husband) solely for the "dashing good looks and goofy charm". Oh, and the promos need more shirtlessness (just from Jon "my future husband" Hamm).

i've been experiencing some hardcore mad men withdrawals this week; must...bring... old...school...sexy...back.
i hate to say it, but some Jon Hamm is better than no Jon Hamm...even if said fix causes optical hemorrhaging. damn your unfunny shenanigans, SNL, and damn you for sucking me in with the promise of some much needed Hamm(and Bubbly).

30 Rock + Hamm = Win...

SNL = Fail...every time.

Glee ruins everything. It sucks.

SNL will never be able to top Scott Brown saying "I'm about to filibust outta these jean shorts."

Posted by: 2HB at October 28, 2010 5:12 PM

Very nice, Dustin! It's catching on. Now let me do it:

HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMM!

That is all.

Also: No one does stubble like that man. Jeebus.

Well it was decent the last time they let him do the Halloween episode. I can still remember it like it was yesterday.

"My Jolly Roger was at full mast the whole ride over."

Those NBC clips never work for me. Actually, the advertisement always play perfectly, just not the content I actually want to see.

Do you want to know why the SNL recaps are so popular?

It's because that show is of such poor quality that nobody thinks it is worth their time to watch on TV (or even on DVR or HULU) but we still believe that somewhere in that 90 minute broadcast there may be a few funny and worthwhile bits. Your recaps let us get the highlights and skip the filler. It's a very efficient way to keep up.
