Kenan can do Cee Lo all he wants, but how about next to someone making fun of Adam Levine, Abby Elliot oversinging and throwing up on herself as Xtina and then someone behaving like a drunk hillbilly or Blake Shelton? How hard is that?
That’s the other thing – NBC is trying so hard to force The Voice and Smash on us, why aren’t they pushing crazy cameos? I mean, Adam Levine was the F-ing musical guest a few weeks back and they did nothing with it. But for the sake of this episode, give me C-Tates as Levine. Or have him be a terrible performer with a ridiculous sad story.
Okay it’s time to come clean. Is this show really still on or is this a hilarious weekly Monday fake post that gets me going every week? Because the former is just sad, and the latter is classic.
I actually think it would be lazier writing to spoof the voice…at least they’re reaching a little higher than parody for laughs. That said, the sketch, like most Keenan sketches, are one not and boring. He affects the same accent for every impression he does, it’s such a train wreck.
Bill Hader is fucking carrying SNL on his back right now. Dude is unstoppable. He made the Moon President sketch AND the Cee Lo sketch not complete wastes of time.

Sudekis could be Blake Shelton, but I’m not sure who would be Adam Levine. Maybe Taran?
Hell, it would be a better sketch no matter who played them.
I’m surprised they just didn’t get Adam Levine himself to do it considering their trying to launch thier new Monday night line-up tonight.

C-Tates was surprisingly competent. There’s something to be said for that.
Agreed- the writing wasn’t there for this one. They went to the ‘c-tates used to be a stripper’ well way too many times.
If by “surprisingly comptetent” you mean he didn’t freeze up and piss himself in front of the camera… then yes, he was.
Can you file copyright infringement on yourself, SNL, because how is the Cee-Lo show any different than What’s Up With That?
The Downton Abbey promo was great. It probably helps that I watched the entire first season this weekend, but yeah, best bit of the night.
Lana Del Wiig. Mmmmmmmmmmm.

You can’t go wrong with a good “Matthew McConaughey playing the bongos naked” joke… can you?
Double microphone, what does it mean?
Kristen Wiig pulled off Lana Del Rey better than Lana Del Rey…I’m just sayin’

That Guy Fieri costume is awesome.
It was terrible. But it did it’s part in making me like Bon Iver and finding out that I’ve been calling Downton Abbey “Downtown Abbey” for weeks.
I’m shamed.
