It's on Hulu, but I think you need to watch it in segments (both from a technical and comedic perspective).

Still not sure why he has the mega-hate for the best fake news and fake pundit on television (intentionally fake, that is). The recent article suggest that Shales thinks critical and funny are mutually exclusive. But then where would we put his Kathie Lee Christmas special columns? David Bruggeman ----- Original Message ---- From: PGage <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Well, somebody up there liked it: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/10/09/AR2008100903615.html?hpid=topnews "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.
