Yeah, I wanted to come up with a clever title, but I didn't have anything. Regardless, here's the rundown of my opinions.

Family Feud: I've never seen an episode of the latest Feud, but I would watch it if it was as funny as this. John O'Hurley's character was a hilarious blending of refinement and insanity, and he had some great lines and obscure references (any comedy sketch that mentions Bella Abzug is a winner in my book) His banter with the contestants over the prize money was very funny, and the gun was a nice touch.

Monologue: A little too heavy on movie and celebrity references, and the dialogue wasn't that good in my opinion. I thought the bubble boy audience member was a nice touch, though.

Nazi Poker after Dark: Good premise, but a little too short. It should have shown clips of the poker game and comments from some of the players (maybe Louis Farrakhan, Ahmadinejad and David Duke could have been in the game and had some humorous banter.)

The Apprentice: Los Angeles: Not really a fan of Trump or Apprentice parodies, plus this didn't really have a lot of funny lines in my opinion. Also, the whole Rosie-Donald feud never appealed to me, and I think it's lost its bite now as a source of comedy. Sorry.

All-Star Telethon for Children with Photosensitivity (whoof, that's a long title): So-so piece. Christopher Walken and Vin Deisel didn't really have too many good lines, but the idea of a new sun to help the kids that ends up damaging them was pretty funny.

A Tribute to James Brown: Nice to memorialize the guy, but perhaps instead of just describing a montage, you could have posted his lyrics.
