I also liked his “This isn't an election year, so we're all getting by with a little less” comment.
It was okay, and it was good that Franco was able to carry this by himself and do a true monologue, with no interruptions from cast/audience members or anything. This opening contained two rarities: non-political content and the host being in it. It was kinda nice to see Franco in the cold opening, though.Just try to open with an actual FUNNY non-political sketch next time, SNL. I disliked this sketch, it was also yet another lazy rewrite with nothing new, and Wiig annoyed me as usual, but this still may be a small step in the right direction as far as going outside of the box of political openings, because it at least shows SNL realizes how stale and tired their political openings have been as of late. I did say in my last review that I would try to cut back on my anti-Kristen Wiig rants, so I'll keep this short and sweet. While I'm happy to see SNL finally listen to our pleas to take a break from political openings, having Wiig do her wacky character shtick isn't much better.I can't even remember who exactly played the other three sisters the very first time they did this sketch, since they keep having to replace them every time this sketch appears. and with almost all the original actresses who played the other three sisters being replaced by the two new girls. I barely liked this the first time with Anne Hathaway (I think it was the only sketch I wasn't crazy about from that otherwise-great show), was upset when they wasted Will Ferrell in this the second time, and here they go trotting it out an unnecessary third time. Okay, first the good news: A non-political cold opening! For the very first time since Steve Carrell/Usher in May '08! Finally! But the bad news? It's another Lawrence Welk/singing sisters/baby hands sketch.***** = Excellent, a possible future classic
