These days, Saturday Night Live is a total grab bag.  Chances are, most of what you’ll see will be too long and not really funny, but every once in a while, they figure out how to make a sketch reminiscent of SNL in it’s early 90′s heyday.

Tonight, SNL is back with it’s first episode of the season, and all fingers are crossed that they’ll come back with a bang.  I mean, they’ve got Michael Phelps hosting (who’s sure to be stiff and awkward), Tina Fey might just make our dreams come true with a Sarah Palin impression, and sources are saying that Obama will indeed make an appearance (probably also acting stiff and awkward).

In case you don’t have a rager to go to tonight — or it’s so lame you come home early, check out SNL and report back to us.  Let us know if it was funny, or Jimmy Fallen stupid.

    Lord I hope they write that whole skit for Phelps and don't leave anything up for ad libbing. I don't think he's too good at thinking on his toes.

    I thought the overall episode was funny.

    & Yes, Phelps was awkward…but we knew that was going to happen. . I mean…just look at him guys..

    And it was his first SNL–his little reading errors were cute even if he was staring blankly at the teleprompter..awww!

    The episode was not that great. The only thing that actually made me laugh out loud was the opening sketch and the musical guest was awful. :(

Tell us what you're thinking...
