Saturday Night Live Returns Tonight

Just a reminder: SNL is starting their season early this year to take advantage of the election fun. I hope they do something great with Mitt's foreign policy debacle. They've also got someone new playing President Obama.

SNL is at its best when taking on politics. Can't wait to see how they go after Mitt.

They were a little tough on Obama but they skewered Mitt and Ryan. I can live with that.

Maybe he will grow into the part as he plays it more?
He also needs singing lessons.

It could have been funnier, but the whole premise was very clever.

I was playing Plants Vs Zombies and I thought I caught everything but I completely missed that. What did they do with Eastwood?
