Charles Barkley hosting SNL

[ed bell]

Why was he hosting? Was it because he's the new weight watchers pitch-man? Is that how this works now?

Why is anyone hosting? Hes a celebrity.

BTW, I did fall asleep. All I remember was Post game app & inside the NBA skit, and I thought both were funny. The rest, I have no clue

You didn't miss much. I swear they have to play laugh tracks over the live crowd...I can't see how some people would laugh at those skits. Those really were the only ones that got a laugh from me and the Mayan skit at the end was horrible.

The worst part about some people that host is that you can tell that are reading. Hell a lot of the folks that are cast members do it. that isn't funny.

Betty White had those moments when she hosted, but she was hilarious regardless.

Yeah that's true, it almost seems picky but really does take away from it. I don't know if you saw the "White People Problems" one but Charles had his head turned to the side of the screen reading the whole time and was really the thing I was focusing on.

All in all the best parts were what he's good at, the outspoken sports commentary. The rest for the most part can be chalked up to the writers for having a crappy show.

I wish SNL would push to get a big name from one of the older cast back because it's going nowhere right now.

Barkley was almost as bad as Obama at reading the teleprompter last night...almost.
