What Are Your Thoughts on the Joan Rivers ‘SNL’ Bit?

If I can, I make a date with NBC Saturday nights at 11:30 and watch ‘Saturday Night Live’. This weekend was no exception. I think the best part, aside from the Maroon 5 performances, was this skit where Sarah Silverman, the guest host, played Joan Rivers. I said it was probably the best in the show, but no means was it great.

I do want to say that I think Sarah Silverman is extremely funny doing stand up and usually funny interacting with others in the talk show circuit. The Joan Rivers segment had a few funny lines, but the one thing I couldn’t get past was what I counted were four screw-ups in the script from Silverman herself. I know I wouldn’t be able to do any better and would do much worse but I’m not on the show.

Was it funny? Not really. Was the bit “too soon?” Maybe for those people who are close to Joan Rivers, but I wasn't offended.

It’s just another example of something on 'SNL' that could have been funny but wasn’t.

What are your thoughts after watching the video?
