SNL: Just The Funny Parts: At Least We Have GIRAFFES

Well, that was a half-assed episode, wasn't it? Ben Affleck was there even though he wasn't promoting anything (did he just call Lorne and tell him he had a Keith Olbermann impression?), and they gave air time to a desperate...  CONTINUE READING SNL: JUST THE FUNNY PARTS: AT LEAST WE HAVE GIRAFFES»

The Killers On SNL: Are They "Human" Or Are They "Spaceman"

Both. But Whatever you think of the Killers, one thing is inarguable: Brandon Flowers despises conventional torso-wear.
