It was obvious that Beth McCarthy Miller was using hand-helds whenever possible--the only times she was using pedestals and jibs were for the "TGS" segments and the closing. I was hoping that the warm-up guy was apprised of the situation and was telling the audience not to start cheering every time characters came on--I was dreading that the first thing we'd hear at the top was the cheers for Tina and Baldwin. The audience was only obeying (if they were obeying) in the first act--by the time Matt Damon and Jon Hamm came on they'd forgot. But from the use of 8H and the "SNL" crew (and the laziness of using a lot of the "SNL" crawl without changing the font), it seemed to be more like "SNL Thursday Weekend Update" instead of "30 Rock." -- TV or Not TV ....
