Bobby Moynihan - Is Turtle from Entourage (Neil Patrick Harris monologue)

Monologue

Neil Patrick Harris opens the show.

Neil Patrick Harris
Fred Armisen ... An other guy (audience member)
Bill Hader ... An other guy (audience member)
Bobby Moynihan ... Turtle (audience member)
Andy Samberg ... Mark Wahlberg



Neil masterfully reminds everyone that he was Doogie Howser, and really makes it memorable that he's on "How I Met Your Mother." Nice job!

Hahahaha!!! Andy Samberg pulls out his Mark Wahlberg! Neil shows great comedic timing.

Here's a non-gay Bobby. Not quite as funny, but Bobby also does "dumb" really well!

Enjoy!

Andy Samberg was in 4 skits tonight. Darrell Hammond was in more than usual (he's usually just busting out the impressions in 1-3 skits). Bobby Moynihan is doing well and a bit above average (at 5). Abby's starting to break out tonight with 4, she led her first skit (Rachel Maddow Show), and she got to say "Live from..." for the first time. Michaela's breaking out with 5 as well. They needed women, and Michaela is proving to have the best comic timing of the three new ladies.


Overall...

1. Job Security goes to...
Kenan Thompson - 7
Kristen Wiig - 7

2. Team Player goes to...
Fred Armisen - 6
Will Forte - 6
Bill Hader - 6

3. Well Rounded goes to...
Bobby Moynihan - 5
Jason Sudeikis - 5
Michaela Watkins - 5

4. Honorable Mentions goes to...
Abby Elliott - 4
Darrell Hammond - 4
Andy Samberg - 4

5. Skating By goes to...
Casey Wilson - 3

There are no "On Thin Ice" awards (2) or "In Big Trouble" awards (1) this week. Seth only does Weekend Update, so I don't think he's in danger of losing his job unless he wants to leave. And I don't think he has any reason to leave.


Predictions for next season: Amy Poehler already left mid this season, so she'll remain gone.

1. They let Will Forte go (he's one of the longest-running, which means he's going to go soon). Or they let Darrell Hammond go (he's broken records, he can't stay on forever, and they don't need him now that Hilary isn't in the spotlight as much).

2. Michaela steps up to the Weekend Update anchor spot to accompany Seth Meyers.

3. Michaela, Bobby Moynihan, and Casey Wilson all become regular players.

4. They keep Abby as a featured player, and they add another one or two more new guys as featured players.


What do you think?

If Casey replaced Maya and Michaela replaced Amy, then who are Abby and Bobby replacing? That's why I think they lose one guy (my guess is Will Forte or Darrell Hammond), and they keep Abby as a featured player, to see if she gets funnier.



Who do you think is going to leave next?

Darrell Hammond has been on for 14 years now (wow; he's done 103 impressions).

Seth Meyers has had 8 years (but I don't think he wants to leave Weekend Update, and I don't think they want to lose him yet).

Will Forte has been on for 7 years.

Fred Armisen has had 7 years. They still rely on him, and he's still the only Obama impression they have.

Kenan Thompson has had 6 years. He's the only black person. (That might sound racist, but historically, SNL has usually had a black person, including Garette, Eddie Murphy, Chris Rock, and more.)

Jason Sudeikis has had 6 seasons, but I think they rely on him a lot.

Bill Hader, Andy Samberg, and Kristen Wiig have had 4 years. They rely on all three of them way too much to drop any of them (although Andy isn't in as many skits, his are arguably the most popular). Plus they're all very popular.



And of course, Bobby Moynihan is pure awesome. So I think/hope he'll be a regular player next year!


Enjoy!

Bobby Moynihan - Is Magical Mr. Mestophiles from Cats (Save Broadway)

Save Broadway

The show must go on...

Neil Patrick Harris. Mark from Rent
Taylor Swift ... Annie
Fred Armisen ... Blue Man
Abby Elliott ... Peppeteer
Will Forte ... Blue Man
Bill Hader ... Music Man
Darrell Hammond ... Dude from Stomp
Bobby Moynihan ... Magical Mr. Mestophiles (from Cats)
Andy Samberg ... Blue Man
Jason Sudeikis ... Phantom
Kenan Thompson ... Miss Siagon writer
Michaela Watkins ... Wicked Witch (from Wicked)
Kristen Wiig ... Chicago performer
Casey Wilson ... Chicago performer



This is my favorite skit of the show. Bobby Moynihan is hilarious, as well as Bill Hader, and the Blue Man Group (Andy, Fred, and Will).

Bobby shows how he loves the bizarre characters and whips his tail around.

This is another Bobby character with his gay voice, so it only helps prove a case for the question...

Does Bobby Moynihan have any non-gay characters?


Time will tell.

Enjoy!
