Enjoyed the perversity of the "Warrior Shake" and Vincent Price skits (I laughed - sue me) and the digital short, and Update and the monologue were okay, but I expect a little more from a Baldwin-hosted show. And only one Abby Elliott bit - a reprise of her (admittedly terrific) Angelina Jolie impression? Damn! As for the season so far, the Jon Hamm and Anne Hathaway shows were pretty good, the NPH ep wasn't too bad, and Tina Fey's Palin stuff was magnifico - but the rest was generally substandard. A few more to go. Maybe they'll right the ship.
