Featured review
Good luck Cecily
I'd like to start by saying as a performer I think Cecily shows a lot of promise. With better non-SNL writers I think she could become a sitcom star or film star. Good luck to her.
To the episode itself, I mentioned to my wife while watching this evening that as weak as last season was, for the most part, it feels like last season was a far cry better in writing and execution compared to this one.
For one thing, this episode (like the last few) was so sloppy. The missed camera cues are actually throwing off the performers. I thought I was watching a high school play at times.
Unfortunately Cecily's final episode also was just generally not funny. Again I found myself confused (as I often have this season) as to what the joke even was in some of these skits. The Wheel of Fortune "joke" was that the guy guessed stuff too fast? Really?
It's all just so sterile and lame.
The night really finished with a thud though closing out with a bizarre (but I guess arbitrary) Elvis song delivered by the host to Cecily as a final send off...why? Did she have some weird love of Elvis we don't know about or was this just "Hey we don't know how to end this but this dude can do Elvis karaoke so how bout that?"
