i taped the show, as it was aired past my bed time (yeh, rite!)...just viewed it.
IMHO, he aquitted himself well. just like justin timberlake, his is clearly not afraid to make fun of himself or his "image". it takes a big man (mentally, not physically) to do this in front of millions of often critical SNL viewers. the locker room dance scene had me spilling my community dark roast coffee on the sofa, i was chortling so intensely.
the underwood gal's mini skirt wudda done daisy duke proud...and she sounded as good live doing her current single as she does on the radio.
having a guy and a gal doing the news again is a good move....still not as good as when Dennis Miller did the news, but who can top him??
all in all, an enjoyable SNL.....quite a change from some of thier recent bombs.
