SNL - Ellen Page Videos

Juno herself hosted SNL this past week. What's weird is I thought the writer's strike was over but you couldn't tell that from this SNL which seemed to just rehashed several elements from last week's show into this week's episode (ie: Hillary endorsement, GOP politician on Weekend Update, Democratic Debate).

Here are the sketches that have been released on the internet for that episode:

The open was very similar to last week's in that it mocked the latest Democratic debate between Obama and Hillary. And then to further show SNL's endorsement of Hillary, like last week (again) when Tina Fey gushed over Hillary, SNL took it a step further and had Hillary on and let her open the show...




The digital short this week (The Mirror), I think was fairly weak...they also seem to become increasingly nonsensical...which sometimes is funny but because it is becoming a reoccurring theme in these digital shorts make them less funny...


The TV Funhouse video was something I thought the show could have actually done as a sketch and be even more funny... Obama pulls out all the stops to keep Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton from 'helping' his campaign...


Guiliani gets a cameo appearance on Weekend Update, like last week with Huckabee, a politician sits in on Weekend Update to make fun of themselves a little bit somewhat humorious...


And Viginiaca, like the Dakota Fanning show, is a reocurring sketch that was never funny, imo, to start out with and yet is continues to be a regular occurring sketch...


Other sketches were The Dakota Fanning Show where Amy Poehler plays Dakota Fanning and basically 'disses' her band leader "Reggie". Page played Hannah Montana and my 12 year old daughter is constantly playing Hannah Montana songs and I couldn't recognize the song "Best Of Both Worlds" that Page sang very badly at the end of this sketch.

College of Excellence sketch was a pretty poor fake late night television commercial in which it will educate you on the best business terms which was basically phrases that involved the word 'file' and ways to redirect blame and questions to someone's assistant.

The Other Boleyn Girls was just a bad sketch that even Jason Sudekis couldn't save...basically starts out with Page as a Boleyn girl trying to get it on with the king (Sudekis) and then being interrupted by another Boleyn girl and repeat with each Boleyn girl becoming more homely until Keenen Thomas is flatly rejected and the sketch basically ends there...

Weekend Update had some moments...along with the Guiliani appearance they had Fred Arminson as a political comedian Nicolas Fehn in which he just rambles off disjointed, incomplete thoughts...mildy amusing but far from funny.


A Peter Pan sketch might have been the best one of the show, imo. Page plays Peter Pan and Captain Hook becomes upset with his crew because instead of killing Peter Pan his crew becomes mesmerized with Peter Pan.

The final sketch was Page returning from a Melissa Ethridge concert where she revels in all the lesbians and their activities rattling off all the classic lesbian stereo-types yet, denying that she has 'turned gay'.
