What? A review. I have to liven up this board with my nonsensical, incoherent drivel that I will call my review of the show.

STATE OF THE UNION ADDRESS 2006: George W. Bush gives his state of the union address, riddled with movie and pop culture. I think what this cold opening was missing was political humor, which I would've preferred.

MONOLOGUE: Way too many SNL references just ruins it for me. Casual viewers of the show would have no idea what you're talking about with Janeane Garofalo or Dean Edwards.

LOVE SMART: I think only having one of these would have been good. Maybe lengthen it into one two-minute commercial.

THE DIAMOND DUMP: As much as I love your writing, Jim, this seemed too lengthy for a commercial parody, clocking at close to five (or more) minutes. Some good tips though, in case I want to smuggle jewelry.

SEXY TEACHER: Disturbing, but very amusing. I think only Steve Martin would have made this sketch watchable. Yes, I know I didn't watch it, it's a script. I know.

MOTEL LOBBY: Not too bad. Kind of reminded me of "Frequent Flyer" with the constant badgering and overuse of special amenities.

EULOGY: Very enjoyable sketch. It may have been much funnier if the mourner didn't continue to interrupt, as if to go on and on about the sitcoms and looking like a total fool. Great ending of the service.

100 MINUTES OF MIND-BLOWING AIRLINE FUN: I actually loved this sketch. I feel that constant arguing is hilarious and makes something much funnier, like "Curb Your Enthusiasm." I couldn't really tell which flight attendant was who, though.

OSAMA IN PRODUCTION: Some corny one-liners by the gay directors were a little much, but a rather interesting piece. Osama Bin Laden talking celebrity gossip made me chuckle a bit.

THE ANTIQUE LIFE OF TWEETERSON ANDREW: This sketch confused me. Some of the moments with the guy named Barnes and his son (who I thought he hadn't seen in years) just messed up my mind. Sorry, I think I may have ADD. Also, again, I didn't like the SNL reference.

YOU FINISH?: Subtle comedy that I liked. Fred Armisen could play this creepy waiter to a tee.

WEEKEND UPDATE coming soon. Or not.
