  A Completely Unbiased Review of SNL

It's hard putting on a show every week -- I perform practically every night when I'm on tour, so I know -- but SNL is showing major signs of fatigue. When the funniest sketch of the night is a pre-recorded parody of The OC (hasn't that been cancelled for months now?), you know you're in trouble. BIG trouble. Like, MadTV trouble.

I used to love SNL during its heyday in the late-90's, when Chris Kattan was on, but now it's completely unwatchable. Some of you might think my review is less than objective, because of this sketch they did:



I assure you, however, that I've completely put that sketch out of my mind when writing this review. This is just one objective viewer's opinion. I mean, was I upset that after I gave them an earth-shattering, soul searching performance in 2003, that only four years later they went after myself and innocent Jessica with demented ferocity and spread poisonous lies?

No, I wasn't.

Anyway, SNL is terrible. Maybe if they brought back Mr. Peepers... but the magic is probably gone now. For your actual amusement, here's something I made in 1999 that's not funny, but at least it's interesting:



(Maybe I should ghost write for SNL. Lord knows, they need all the help they can get.)
 
Comments:
I agree SNL blows but this was funny. Shiny highlights, your "note squeezer" facial expressions, her singing! I enjoyed it. As for your shaving, I guess you could say it was "interesting" but I just can't get over how young you look! You were 20 right? Not to sound like an ass but you features have matured quite a bit from then. You remind me of Topher Grace when you were young. So the question is, if you could would you go back to your youth? -m
 
You are NOT John Mayer. Get a fucking life you retard.
 
BOTH videos were funny...and John Mayer writing for SNL is an interesting idea.
 
m - I assume by "matured" you mean, "became even more handsome somehow." No, I wouldn't go back to my youth, unless I could bring a book of sports results with me from the future. That'd be great.

anonymous - You spend your time anonymously spreading hate on blogs. WHO should get a fucking life?

shelley - Both videos were funny, but neither one intentionally. Next time I do SNL (hopefully not soon), I'll talk to Lorne. Could be fun.
