As a big GB fan, loved the portrayal! Dead on comedic approach. Jason Sudeikis is the cast member on the male side to watch. Haven’t seen this good since the days of Phil Hartman and Chris Farley. Let some time go by, and it would behoove SNL to have Glenn host! He’s freakin’ hilarious…and smart (mixed with a little crazy..but who isn’t these days?) Great Job, Jason and get well Glenn!

I enjoyed the Beck bit emmensly. That said, I have to ask, have the writers ever watched FNC other than the Glenn Beck show? Greta doesn’t anchor election coverage. Shep Smith is nothing like the character portrayed. The rest, gratuitous and stereotypical.

Kristen’s Greta was pretty good, but it was almost cruel especially when she switched her lip clench.
Bobby’s Karl Rove was good. Ugly and funny and go ahead and be as harsh as Rove is in person.

Shep Smith is the only actual reporter on Fox and I don’t think he should have received a bad rap, although Hader did portray his look/mannerisms well. I think in the next sketch like this, show Shep saying “I don’t think we were fair and balanced on this one.” (one of Shep’s actual quotes)

Jason Sudeikis was phenomenal. He captured “the Beck look”. Is he a genius or is he insane? He laughs. He cries. He misspells. Jason caught it all, including the shoulders and the walk. Beautiful!

Not a big fan of Stewart snark. I can’t wait for the inevitable Saturday Night Live “Glenn Beck” sketch. Jason Sudeikis ( does the Biden impersonation) looks exactly like him.

Yup. The only bad thing about the sketch was Shep Smith. That’s how I felt too.

I have to say though the most accurate portrayal of all was the composition of the panel (of any 4 person panel, at least 3 are conservative).
