SNL Does Rachel Maddow Show Again

This week's Saturday Night Live, with host Anne Hathaway got off to a strong start, but kind of petered out after Weekend Update. Someone needs to tell them that Penelope--Kristin Wiig's mentally unbalanced character--is past her sell-by date. But the cold open, a riff on MSNBC's The Rachel Maddow Show was pretty funny. SNL is incapable of skipping the obvious gay jokes, but we're used to that. Abby Elliott's Rachel impression is still missing something. . .maybe it's that the voice isn't quite there. And they didn't make John Boehner orange enough, nor did they get his mouth twitch in there. Dan Aykroyd does Boehner better. And it should be noted that Boehner would never, ever appear on TRMS.
