The only reason I watched SNL was because of Steve. But no one can save that show, SNL is that bad. His monologue was cute and the Japanese Office was great. Other than that, it was painful to watch and a total waste of Steve’s talent. I feel bad for him because he really wasn’t given anything good from the writers to work with.

This may sound weird but isn’t parodying The Office when a cast member hosts a little obvious?

Why haven’t they cancelled it already? I loved seeing Steve on there but SNL has gone down the crapper and is no longer funny.

John McCain’s Weekend Update appearance brought a refreshing ray of sunlight to a dead segment. The Weekend Updates were my favorite part, but none of their punchlines are funny (at least Amy’s, Seth had some good ones)

I was really looking forward to this show but was disappointed. I liked the parody they did of The Office when Rainn hosted much better.

SNL has gone down the toilet, but this short was funny just because the imitations were so dead on, especially Dwight.

Well the opening sketch was funny… but in a 7th grade kinda funny way… not exactly opening sketch material. More like last sketch material.

The best parts of the episode were John McCain (never thought I’d say that,) the monologue and Ricky Gervais.

I love you, Ricky.

Steve was great on SNL. Anyone else remember his other sketch gig on The Dana Carvey Show?

Unfortunately, SNL is way past its golden years. It hasn’t been good since Tina Fey left and even then it was losing steam.

It wouldn’t matter if SNL got the whole cast of The Office to host, the writing just isn’t good anymore.

Yessh, amusing digital short. That guy who plays Jim is great. Overall SNL was disappointing. Steve did well though with the skits he was given.

Steve is great but I must say overall that was a pretty bad episode. It really shows how much SNL has declined when John McCain was the funniest guy on the show.

I watched the show on Saturday and I thoroughly enjoyed the commencement opening. I was laughing hyterically because it reminded me of something similar I had done with my friends.

…and I still laugh at Haywood Jablowmee. Probably not so mature for a 43 year old but (shrug)

Man, Ricky is so great. There was a tiny bit of David Brent in his monologue.

I give Steve an “A” for effort but SNL’s writers just cannot measure up to the team behind the Office. It’s weird how far SNL has fallen.

Japanese office was the best part of SNL! Also, it was nice to see “Carol” (Steve’s wife).

Steve Carell looked so goooddd!!

Oh man, SNL was at its best last night. I think the best hosts really amp up the show. That SNL in Japanese sketch is an instant classic. I loved Bill Heder as Dwight.

Loved the Japanese Office. I’m all in for a new series. I felt there was a lot of office influence, like in the karaoke sketch. the gum reminded me of performance review and the suggestion box, and the guy saying “get my karaoke on” (or close to that) reminded me of the return, with andy.

Aside from this digital short, it was pretty awful. The SNL writers are terrible right now.
