SNL Skewers FOX "News"

Saturday Night Live is as uneven as it ever was, comedy wise. Even the glory days of the "Not Ready for Prime-Time Players" had spotty episodes more often than not, we've just colored them with heavy doses of nostalgia. But the rule that still holds from the early days, is if they have a strong cold opening, monologue, first skit and Weekend Update, the episode feels more solid. Last night, the cold opening skewering of FOX "News" was hilarious. Weekend Update was strong, with a surprise appearance by Amy Poehler, and the other two bits were above average. So, great show, SNL!
