Live from New York

I think that maybe if they weren't super-wholesome Disney shills, the awesomeness of the Jonas Brothers might be too much for the world to handle.



Beyond that, SNL was mad underwhelming last night. I've been a "still funny" apologist for a while, but when an episode hosted by Alec Baldwin is not life-affirmingly awesome, that's clear evidence of something going wrong in the creative process.  The combination of the end of the Bush administration, the end of the election, and Amy Poehler's departure created some kind of humor vacuum on the show.  If Incredibad does well and the Lonely Island guys leave, then they're really screwed.  I keep watching, and I stay hopeful for a resurgence, but it's not looking good right now.
