I thought Pat did a pretty good job. Although, I feel I can really tell when he is reading the script and when he was ad-libbing. The adlibbing part you actuallygot a sense of personality and being alive, yet when he was reading the script, it was just like a "ho hum, I am now disconnected from what is going on" feeling I got from him with the show. I really feel like if he continues to guest host they should let HIS writers write for him or he write the show himself....being if he has time or they have time and would like to of course.
