Christopher’s backup dancers are being played by extras instead of the female cast this time? Just now, Christopher said “crazy mix-em-ups”, a variation of his legendary “crazy make-em-ups” line. Funny how he IMMEDIATELY goes into casually speaking to us as soon as his song-and-dance number abruptly stops. Wow, he dives right into his obligatory song-and-dance number this time, with no set up.

Well-deserved extended applause for Christopher at the beginning. Host sings “Exactly Like You” & brings on some dancing girls I can’t remember if he does the creepy-looking camera staredown afterwards in that version or not. SNL would later replace this “Live from New York…” with the dress rehearsal version in reruns. We also get this epic creepy Walken stare into the camera immediately afterwards: Christopher delivers his very first and, I think, only “Live from New York…”, which he, of course, does in his trademark slow and awkward style. A lot of Parnell’s lines in this have been forgettable (which is unusual, as he used to always get the funniest lines in Hardball sketches, before he got fired in 2001), but I did like his bit right now about attacking countries in alphabetical order. Very funny reveal from Christopher’s French foreign minister that France is only being pro-war “just to be, how you say, douchebag.” Chris Matthews, to the French foreign minister: “That’s big talk from a country who’s only contributions to world culture in the last 50 years are Gerard Depardieu and that horny skunk!” Darrell’s Chris Matthews almost slipped into Dennis Miller territory with his “I haven’t seen a group of people this crazy for blood since the Cobra Kai chased Daniel-San out of the Halloween dance in Karate Kid.” All he needed was a more obscure reference and either a “Cha-cha” or a “Ha-HAAAA!” at the end. Good to see Christopher Walken not only appearing right at top of the show, but in a Hardball sketch to boot. This is especially needed at this point, considering how terrible a lot of cold openings have been in the second half of this season so far.

Nice to see that the reliability and popularity of these Hardball sketches has gotten to the point where SNL is now using them as a cold opening. Segments are rated on a scale of 1-5 starsįrench foreign minister (host) enjoys nettling USA over Iraq
