Saturday Night Live: 29 going on what?
Published Sunday, October 03, 2004 by seanlmccarthy | E-mail this post
As NBC's late-night wonder blundered into its 30th season, Saturday Night Live's season premiere tonight reminded me of my life as a 29-year-old: desperately lacking starpower, celebrity cameos by James Gandolfini and Alec Baldwin, outdated premises, skits without punchlines, and a "newscast" that makes you realize why the Daily Show has won two straight Emmys, and complete adoration of Maya Rudolph. Just kidding. My year wasn't quite that bad. But SNL's year is shaping up to be a woozy doozy. Yikes!
