Jimmy Fallon and Andy Samberg were in an odd little sketch a third of the way through the show, which opened with Fallon giving himself a pep talk backstage while taking a break from hosting the “Saturday Night Live” Christmas episode…see what they did there? Trés meta! Samberg showcased his best Fallon impression, and the pair also did a few impressions together — Jerry Seinfeld, Barry Gibb (which they cut short when one Fallon informed the other Fallon that co-host Justin Timberlake couldn’t make it), and Kermit the Frog among them.

Though the sketch initially was a little navel-gazing for my taste, it was certainly more experimental than the usual fare from “Saturday Night Live,” and also required Fallon and Samberg to sync their impressions so they matched up in the “mirror, which is no easy feat.

It is not experimental – Jimmy did the same thing a decade ago with Mick Jagger

Why are we subjected to so many SNL and Jimmy Fallon clips here? Ugh.

Exactly. Not experimental at all- a tribute to history, much like fallon in the bumble bee outfit at the show’s closing was a tribute to belushi.

And the I Love Lucy episode featuring Harpo and Lucy doing the same thing…

This can’t get cancelled quick enough.

It
was great seeing Jimmy Fallon, Amy Poehler and Tina Fey back on SNL. I love
seeing all of their skits. My favorite skit was where Fallon was acting as
Justin Bieber. I was dying! I am glad that I was able to find Saturday Night
Live on DISH Online because I wasn’t able to watch it since I was on a flight
to California.
To add to the disappointment, I didn’t set my DVR to record the show either.
Since working for DISH, I have had a lot of time to play with DISH Online, and
I know that there are many shows like Saturday Night Live that are available
even if you don’t subscribe to DISH. If you are a subscriber like me, you have
access to even more! It is awesome. I am definitely looking forward to future
episodes and I hope to see these people entertain more!
