A Very Tasty SNL Digital Short

I will always love SNL. Maybe because it's a dream of mine to be on the show, but does that make me biased? Probably. Nonetheless, I still root for SNL everyday. And I am very much in love with this cast. I would say to those not digging SNL right now, to at least give this season a chance. It's been Very Tasty thus far, even the season premiere hosted by Megan Fox was not a disappointment like I thought it might be with said host. I'm not a fan of Megan, but was surprisingly impressed with her performance duties as host. It's as if she took it seriously and tried to learn her lines rather than read off a cue card as most hosts, (and even cast members sadly) have been doing a lot more of in recent years. It upsets me. But Megan Fox will probably only hear a compliment from me once in her life and here it is... She was both funny and impressive hosting SNL this season. I still dislike her exploiting herself and body. But welcome to Earth, right?

Anyway, the Oct. 3rd episode of SNL was full of Very Tasty surprises and clever skits, with the obvious hit and misses, (mainly hits), with host Ryan Reynolds who was slightly underused but Tasty in all his roles. The highlight of the show for me however was the ever popular Digital Short that genius Andy Samberg puts together. He has done many of these, one that won him an Emmy even called, "D**K in a Box" with Justin Timberlake. This video is very filthy and annoyingly catchy. And freaking Justin Timberlake, I've never really been a fan, but he is one hilarious dude. Maybe it's jealousy, I don't know. But he impressed me every time he visited the SNL set last season and also when he hosted. Check that episode out... I beg you. Justin Timberlake hosting SNL last season, one of my all time favorite episodes. But back to the Digital Short from last nights episode. Quite the treat for me. I've already re-watched it a few times now and still laugh. Congrats Andy Samberg, you've created another great video worth sharing. I applaud your triumphs.

Please enjoy and start watching SNL again. Mainly so the viewership goes back up and they don't cancel the show before I can land a spot on the cast... That's not selfish right?

TV Tastes

I've been thinking a lot about what I wanted to share next and I decided on TV Tastes. There's a lot of shows out there these days, and the over abundance is very, overwhelming. My focus today is on a new comedy that is 'fo sho" worth checking out called

"Community" airing Thursdays at 8pm on NBC

Now obvious comedy choices are the ever popular "The Office" (which for me is really struggling this season...) and "30 Rock" (the Emmy award winning show Starring Tina Fey and Alec Baldwin with season 4 premiering Thursday Oct. 15th at 9:30pm. I CANNOT WAIT!) I'm partial to NBC shows right now apparently. There's another hit or miss show called "Parks and Recreation" starring the very funny Amy Poehler. But I'm afraid that she alone along with one other incredibly funny man, Aziz Ansari, can't save that show. I know it was created by Greg Daniels, the same guy who brought us "The Office", but "P&R" feels like a cheap rip off of "The Office". I do wish that show the best, but so far I'm no convinced.

Back to "Community". This delightful "diamond in the rough" has proven itself with each new episode. This show stars the quirky and funny Joel Mchale from E!'s "The Soup" playing a lovable douchebag and he pulls it off...um... easily. I don't want to sound mean with that statement. He's hilarious. With him are a lot of unknown actors who are all cast well and bring a lot to their "community" study group. And then there's Chevy Chase. I thought he was a goner. But thank God for "Community" because he is back playing a delightful idiot who you can't help but laugh at. Perfection. But the highlight of the show for me is from actor and comedian Danny Pudi. This guy makes the show. He plays a dry and honest character who is the glue to the group. Also, during the finally credits in episode 2 and 3, he single-handedly hooked me on the show. I laughed out loud at both moments.

So, are you interested but missed the first three episodes? Have no fear. There's an amazing site you can go to called Hulu.com and from here, you can watch all your favorite shows. With "Community", let the pilot slide. It's not the best episode but it sets up the story nicely. Episode 2 is funny and guest stars Ken Jeong as an over the top Spanish teacher. Not convinced by the episode, then watch the final scene during the credits. Episode 3 is fantastic with many moments that I laughed out loud at. Especially the final credits scene.

This show has a lot going for it. And I wish it the best. Very Tasty!
