I have a brilliant idea.
Let’s get a guy known for his ability to ad-lib and 5th grade reading level to read from a teleprompter for two hours. Live. Yeah, that’s the ticket.
This, my friends, is why SNL is in the crapper. I love Chuck but Auburn paid him to rebound, not read. This episode looked like SNL ran a contest where a fan could host the show. I mean, for real, I bet Sir Charles would lose to Muhammad Ali in a freestyle battle. Too soon?
Actually this golf skit was the funniest of the night, which isn’t saying much.
Don’t worry, Baby Huey, I’ll still faithfully watch you roast athletes on TNT all season.
The saving grace of the night, though, came in the form of Miss Alicia Keys and her “Booty Call” skit. I know this is supposed to be funny…but I’m going to splice the audio and keep her voice and hold my own conversations with the recordings. Things may get weird.

Some cats are never satisfied…
Chuck did a decent job, given his limitations. ROFL.
I thought Chuck did an excellent job also. He is not an actor but that is not the point. The general consensus seems to be favorable too.
lol, i’ve read way too many spots that I like saying he bombed.
awful! absolutely awful! SNL ducks sick!
Stop embracing mediocrity. Disgusting.
Sir Charles is my dude, but that episode was just painful. Thank God I only watched part of the episode and not the entire thing.
ooo alicia keys. *puts in smokin aces dvd*
i sure do miss MAD TV. =(
When I watched this i thought he was hilarious. He was one of the best hosts I’ve seen in years. Not because he was good at acting, but because his staged appearance was pulled off perfectly. McGruger was great too b/c of barks for the first time in awhile.
like I said on twitter..I was laughin at his failure. We all laugh at Charles but remember, he’s the joke not the comedian.
Deen & Ragga must’ve been zooted; laughing at even the commercials because it was so bad, I was embarrassed. He was always 5 seconds behind the teleprompter, missing lines and cues–oh and what about how they pulled that last skit all early?
Turrible indeed
It was painful to watch. The game show skit seemed to be the one he was most comfortable with. In the others he was just reading the entire time. Pretty bad.
I watch SNL like once a year anyway. All the skits are hit or miss. The presidental debates/Sarah Palin were the only consistenly funny joints.
Who has been the best (non-actor/actress) host in recent memory?
It was painful to watch
=============================
Word. One of the worst episodes of SNL I’ve ever seen. Chuck’s fuck up’s were contagious cause other castmembers were flubbing lines more then usual.
Plus, no rear shots of Alicia Keys. No catsuit? WTF?
An embarrassing effort overall.
Again, Samberg’s digital shorts are the only reason to watch SNL. And with hulu, you don’t really need to watch the entire ep.
Infomercials > SNL
Personally, is complete lack of style as an actor and monotone delivery made it funny to me. I mean, Barkley in high top wig was enough to make me chuckle, but that’s possibly because I’m immature.
Barkley was Turrible; Chevy Chase, Garrett Morris, and Tim Meadows are rolling in their graves. lol
LOL @ Bigga
Ain’t none of them dudes dead
spot on… love you Chuck-E-Cheese, but this was no good.
TC:
I know that’s what CHarles Barkley does to teams in the NBA that suck. He’ll say Patrick Ewing and Bernard King is rolling in their graves when talking about the Knicks. lol On TNT he is at his best, leave SNL alone. Damn shame taking all the skits away from Keenan. That boy barely gets burn as is. lol
“Reel Quotes” was funny tho
Some cats are never satisfied…
Chuck did a decent job, given his limitations. ROFL.

I thought it was good
i’m a faithful watcher and I thought it was decent for a Barkley episode. FUNNY: Golf Skit, Gameshow skit, The inmate skit w/Keenan is always hilarious, and Macgruber plus Ms. Keyes had the best performances on there all year. It wasn’t great but good for sir charles
TURRIBLE! TURRIBLE! ASS A TURRIBLE EYE DUH
