"Explosively funny and running riot from start to finish, "Weekend Update Thursday" -- (SNIP) At any rate, last night's 30-minute "SNL" seemed to have 90 minutes of sure-fire comedy crammed into it, the regulars drawing energy from their own luster. (SNIP) The "Update" segment, longer than it is on a normal edition of the show, was handled with their usual cheerful brilliance by Amy Poehler and "SNL" head writer Seth Meyers, with a guest appearance from cast member Kenan Thompson as a venerable economist whose prescription for a madly malfunctioning Wall Street was a simple, shouted "Fix it!" Did the political jokes have a little less bite than usual? Maybe, possibly, perhaps -- but they were funny, that's the issue, and funnier than Comedy Central's overpraised Jon Stewart or Stephen Colbert even on their best nights." I know some people here read Shales regularly - I do not. I can't believe he is serious in saying that tonight's SNL mini-sode was better than TDS or CR on their best nights.
