That was funny when the guy interjected "Fleetwood!" when Lindsey was playing.

Paul actually did a nice job with his acting, as he heard the music playing and knew he was about to get interrupted.

It was cool to see Lindsey bad acting and all (unless he was trying to look stoned cause that looked believable) SNL these days is painful to watch, I did like the high frucose corn syrup skit though. Was it just me or did his voice seem deeper?

Stoned? No, it was past his bed time.

I thought it was funny they inserted a "John Stewart" banjo player into the skit with a girl duo partner too.

The Good

“What’s Up With That?” (Thompson, Sudeikis, Hader, Simon, Colfer, Helms, Ensemble): I have mixed feelings about the appearance of Lindsey Buckingham. On one hand, I’m never a fan of when the real-life version confronts the parody onstage. Then again, Bill Hader’s Lindsey Buckingham was never really a parody. It was always more of a “Who is the most random person we can have as a recurring guest?” type situation. So, in the case of Buckingham, why not? His appearance actually kind of fit into the manic jumble of “What’s Up With That?” And, as always, these are a delight just to see Jason Sudeikis dancing in a track suit.

Score: 8.5

SNL Ambiguously Gay Duo Goes Live Action With Jon Hamm
May 15, 2011 01:50 PM EDT

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.

I wonder if having Paul in the same skit made it a bit more fun for Lindsey.

I was going to say this. Paul Simon has better comic timing than the current SNL cast.

Lindsey must think pursed face while picking = comedy.

Paul Simon practically is an original SNL cast member, so it makes sense he was so natural in the sketch!

I went to bed early last night and was awakened by texts that this was happening, I can only imagine my reaction if I hadn't known Lindsey was going to be there! I've loved this sketch since the beginning and I love that "real" Lindsey was finally on it! I also loved his "Hader as Lindsey" face that he kept making, even though he seemed a bit nervous, he still pulled it off and Kenan's commentary during his guitar solo was hilarious.
