I did. I watched the whole thing. I hoped throughout it that there were not many FReepers watching whose sensibilities would be shocked by such a display.

If and it is a big if, we can disregard the public display of that which is distasteful, I was impressed on one level. He is a higher caliber of actor than most by a long shot. Most guest performers on SNL give such shallow performances on SNL due to the unrehearsed and live nature of it. Yet in that environment HE was able to instantly become completely new characters believably. He did look like a pro among amatuers. I was particularly impressed with the Dickens wig-changing skit near the end. The characters he switched into were not just new wigs, but new characters.

There. Can I just say something positive or do I have to make a value statement about the eeeewwww part? The kiss (when he was playing the Oscar-predictor woman) was quite funny, and I believe, surprised the other actor quite a bit. Do you think that was planned?

Well, Jimmy Fallon certainly seemed surprised.:)

You are right; I was totally impressed with his acting ability; head and shoulders above most of the "talent" normally hosting the show. The "Charles Dickens" skit was incredible.

Yes. Let's just leave it at that.:)

Just one more thing: I was a little disappointed they didn't do some kind of a LOTR spoof..........would've loved to see the SNL cast portraying Frodo, Aragorn, Galadriel, and all the rest........
