Last night's SNL show was a veritable smorgasbord of surprise guests. While host Ed Helms (The Hangover 2) was hilarious, and musical guest Paul Simon was great as usual, it was the unscheduled guest appearances that made the show a must-watch program.
First, Bill Hader's Lindsey Buckingham character was upstaged by the REAL Lindsey Buckingham in the "What Up With That?" segment. Pity poor, adorable Chris Colfer (Glee), who did not get to say a single word in the segment. Why Lorne Michaels chose Paul Simon's week to showcase Lindsey Buckingham's guitar expertise was not the best idea. It seemed a little belittling to Simon.
The highlight of the program was Robert Smigel's animated "Ambiguously Gay Duo" come to life with John Hamm and Jimmy Fallon in the title roles. Stephen Colbert as a two-brained scientist was surprising and gut-busting. Rounding out the hilariously vulgar bit was Steve Carrell, Ed Helms and Fred Armison. It was one of the best shorts in months. You can watch it below, courtesy of NBC.
Next week's SNL season finale is sure to end the season on a memorable note. Guest host Justin Timberlake and musical guest Lady GaGa promises to be funny. Put Andy Samberg and Timberlake in some digital short is almost certain gold. They have done it twice before, and with Lady GaGa hanging about, it could be their best. Just a suggestion, mind you.
