This weeks Saturday Night Live featured two smart men ready to play dumb.
Host Josh Brolin made it known that after doing films such as No Country for Old Men and True Grit, he was happy to be on SNL, a place where he could be dumb. Really, really dumb. To tease his less serious side, Brolin brought out Jay Pharoah to play Will Smith. The two previewed Brolins upcoming Men in Black 3, with Pharoah likely correctly foreseeinga few lines that will be in the sequel.

Steven Spielberg, too, was ready to dumb things down and made a cameo to pitch a project to SNL creator Lorne Michaels. Spielbergs homemade looking Laser Cats 7stars Andy Samberg and Bill Hader, and is set in a post-apocalyptic world in which radiation has allowed cats to shoot lasers out of their mouths. Or something. Michaels hates the idea, but Spielberg isnt deterred.

Musical guest Gotye not only gave perhaps the strongest musical performance of the season, he also starred in one of the evenings better sketches. Samberg and Taran Killam invade Gotyes room to profess their fandom. Things get creepy when the pair refuse to leave and begin imitating the living paintings in the video for Gotyes Somebody That I Used to Know.
The episode also saw Samberg playing a 13-year-old consultant for HBOs A Game of Thronesin a sketch which, once and for all, explains why there is so much nudity in a show ostensibly about swordplay and political intrigue.

SNL is new May 5 with host Eli Manning and musical guest Rihanna.
I was excited to see Josh Brolin host SNL last week, but was a bit disappointed when saw it. He wasn’t the focus in many sketches! Other than that, he was pretty good, especially in skits such as Slow Motion Hallway. One of the skits that my co-workers at DISH and I liked most was the Californians because the cast kept breaking character. I was too tired to watch the show when it aired, but I was able to catch it on DISH Online for free. I am looking forward to seeing who hosts next!
