Personally, I thought it was the best ep of the year, hands down (the Restoration Hardware sketch notwithstanding. Comedy pro-tip: If your skit needs an elaborate set-up intro, you may want to go through another draft). I -never- laugh at SNL, and had to stop the DVR frequently during this one to not miss anything.
And, despite your inexplicable antipathy toward Mr. Baldwin, The Tony Bennett Show was laugh-out-loud funny in Pacifica. --Dave Sikula On Sunday, December 16, 2012 1:27:27 PM UTC-8, Kevin M.
