This week, on The Prince Variety Special...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ViY_FxcvyYg

Say what you will about Chris Rock, the man can deliver a standup set like nobody's business. The third former SNL cast member to host out of only five episodes so far this season, Chris brings with him... well, a couple of characters. His run wasn't all that higher caliber than Sarah Silverman's, owing in large part to the fact that he was pretty blatantly a token hire to combat the then-popular In Living Color, which he ended up leaving SNL to do. His film career and HBO standup specials have kept him going since then, leaving him firmly in that category of celebrity where everyone knows who he is, even if most of them (myself included) probably would have to look him up to see what, specifically, he's done recently.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M9R1E4y7_Js

Prince makes whatever the gently caress he wants. He made it when he was super big in the 80s, he continued to make it even when everyone's taste refused to move over to his... unique, to put it mildly, phase in the 90s, and then in the last 8 or so years, he moved squarely into the realm of very listenable music that's still undeniably him. I don't see him lighting up mainstream radio on fire anytime soon, but the benefit of the fracturing of the music industry lately is that he doesn't have to. He can make Prince-Style Music and fans of Prince-Style Music (can you tell I'm one?) can get it and the world is good.

Coming soon...

We get to find out together this week! I wouldn't be surprised if we have to wait a few weeks before the next new episode, though. We're about due for a long break.

:pwn: :pwn: :pwn: :pwn: :pwn:
Yeah, next week is off, then back for two live shows, another week off at Thanksgiving, then three more live shows before the holiday break.



Tonight, a moldy oldie, from 6 years ago: Josh Brolin with Adele.

http://snltranscripts.jt.org/08/08e.phtml

The most well-remembered bit from this was when Tina Fey portrayed Sarah Palin in the cold open, followed by an appearance by Sarah Palin. And that is, in my opinion, why the show was submitted for the Emmy that year. The rest of it doesn't really have a lot to stack up for it, though there is good stuff- MacGruber, Tim Calhoun, Jean K. Jean, Narc School (School Full of Narcs.) It's a good show but not the best of the year. Top-heavy with Wiig, featuring both Overexcited Sue and Suze Orman. Lots to cut here, but may not be what I want.

If it had happened two days ago and had a chance to go viral I'd expect it to show up, but it may not be known enough yet to make the cut. Look for it to be on @Midnight, however.

It depends on whether the man will finally give him any time.

Edit: I forgot how funny that sketch was.

Alright, y'all. It's about time for the Top Five! Why five? Because the man would never give me ten of anything! I' lucky to get five! Tonight: The Top Five Reasons White People Can't Dance.

Reason #5: Too busy counting their money.
Reason #4: Too busy counting my money.
Reason #3: Small thighs make it too hard to dip.
Reason #2: They're inferior.
And the #1 Reason White People Cannot Dance: Well, they can, they just waiting for the Waltz to come back.

And that's the Top Five - that's all I could get from Whitey right now!

Well I mean he opened with talking about the boston marathon bombing as though it happened last week and not like a year and a half ago, so I think that threw a lot of people.
