1. That was much better than the awful Keith Olbermann impersonation they did. n/t

[shireen]

2. LOL!

i love the way she exaggerated Rachel's speaking style.
:rofl:

[Hulk]

3. Damn....was that Rachel?

Too much truthiness. How can the American public be so damned stupid? Even the comedy shows know how to get the message out. Unfortunately, it flies right over the heads of the ignorant masses; and the geriatrics go to bed at 8 pm, so they don't get a chance to even see it (after bor, vannity and beck are done with their circus).

17. Hey, boy, I'm a geriatric and my bedtime is 2 or 3 am. You certainly

paint with a broad brush!

4. SNL & Rachel Maddow...

~Goes without saying for SNL to start adding
Maddow as a continued presence in their sketch work...
Duh. And at this already late date ---is this it??
Work it up people! Maddow is character laden (and
not in all the usual sophomoric ways (which is an
annoying & unfortunate tendency of SNL's)
Don't like to put down creative effort--
but the Maddow impersonation in itself
needs work...there is absolutely something missing--
Keep at it

11. the Pelosi impression was the only one that didn't blow

[DemocraticPilgrim]

Not so sure about some jokes but Pelosi was awesome. n/t

5. ...

[Frisbee]

6. Should have made Boner more orange.

Hell, they could have just made him his normal color and it would have been comical.

[wordpix]

8. the actor didn't work---try someone else for Boner

[Webster Green]

13. Totally!

They even had a line about his face color, but his face looked fairly normal.

They were phoning it in. The show was great in '78.

[NuclearDem]

7. 'Nothing bothers me Rachel'

'That's why I've always had the same expression'

'Nancy Pelosi, who looks like she's always watching someone not use a coaster' :rofl:

[ooglymoogly]

9. Not so funny....Nancy was pretty good and Charlie was funny

Rachel not so much; not even close.

[Botany]

10. Boy that was really bad

Not funny at all.

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

12. Bleh...all sizzle and no steak

She did none of the quirky ticks that makes Rachel worth lampooning. And I know I could do a better Boner impression than Bill Hader.

[AsahinaKimi]

14. wonders if

They have ever done Glenn Beck?

[Grassy Knoll]

15. yes indeed.....

16. that shit with Rangle stealinG Palosi's pearls is TOTALLY FUCKED UP!

[Enthusiast]

18. Poor

[florida08]

19. yuck

[NuttyFluffers]

20. well that was painfully weak.

just confirms my suspicion that SNL has ceased being funny ages ago and needs to be put out to pasture already.

[vanbean]

21. Well, I thought the Rachel impersonation was talented. I thought it was excellent.

I'm sure Rachel will love it. The great thing is that she comes off well
even while she is being impersonated. I loved the skit.

[paulkienitz]

22. there's some value to defend there....

but still, that sketch is so much less than it could have been.
