It's a ridiculously irrelevant mess now, but I remember how great old-school SNL was...*sigh* I just wasn't cut out for this new generation I think. lol! I sound like a cantankerous old lady the way I complain about network television these days. I HATE reality TV shows and all these people on there with their 15 kids shoving them down my throat, and in my opinion there is no MTV. It's a joke what's happened to that channel.

People complain about the 80s, but so much greatness came from that era that was destroyed by all the newness of the late-90s to now. I truly believe that.

Anyway, this skit was really dumb but if I have to sit through that to feel good about someone as credible as Lindsey Buckingham being portrayed, I'll do it. The dude looks more like Nicholas Cage but atleast he's lanky, has the clothes, and the sitting-down position. Not like it's too complex, but Lindsey's a bit of an adonis and we all have to admit he can't be imitated well.

He should have done that little prayer thing Lindsey does with his hands, when the host addressed him.

at least that would've gotten a little smile out of me. that was just painful to watch. I couldn't stand Keenan on All That (tell me someone here remembers that show!) and I can't stand him now. He does the same voice for every character he plays. I thought SNL would get better with Jenny Slate because I've talked with her before and she is funny as hell! too bad she has a potty mouth.

When I did get to watch that video he does look kind of like Lindsey from far away. LOL Thanks for posting the link I added it on my Facebook page.

Yeah, I agree... I had just gotten home from drinking for the last 5 hours before I saw this last night and I still didnt find it even mildly entertaining... I actually was more disappointed that there was no LB interaction. I think they were just trying to get a completely random/obscure group of "panelists", and in that respect they were successful.

To be sure, the fact that "Lindsey" was there 12 times and had never once spoken doesn't say much about him being a valued guest in their eyes. So, it was kind of insulting, but hey, someone besides us knows about Lindsey's clothing habits! Good to know.

Maybe it means that he will be back again. I like the end where he danced. Maybe that is why LB kept returning as a guest.

Stupider than I thought it'd be, but hey, it's LB. Sort of. Almost. Well, not really.

... Anyway, back to listening to 'Tusk' bootlegs for me.

I didn't even notice that because I was like "RED SHIRT BLACK JACKET!" How hilarious would it be if they get real Lindsey some week.

"You ain't mad at me, are ya Lindsey?"

No, it's ok

Let me add, that I can't believe that they felt the first one was so funny that they did it again...

This is from a December 1, 2009 Wall Street Journal blog piece on Bill Hader.

http://blogs.wsj.com/speakeasy/tag/saturday-night-live/

I can vouch that Swift, who I can’t say enough good things about, does a really good Kristin Stewart impression,” Hader said) and another sketch he’s enjoying this season, Keenan Thompson’s “What Up With That?” musical interludes. In the skits, Thompson plays D’Andre Cole, a talk show host who “takes on the issues of today with soul” while Hader plays perpetually bumped guest Lindsey Buckingham of Fleetwood Mac fame. The series has also scored a number of special guest stars, including Al Gore, whom they nabbed while he was shooting a “30 Rock” guest spot, and “friend of the show” James Franco. “With James, he was originally in another sketch that got cut, so we just decided to stick him in ‘What Up With That,’ which started the whole visiting guest star thing,” he said. “Mindy Kaling we just grabbed on the way to the stage. She was just hanging out watching the show, and then she was sitting next to me asking me what to do.” Watch two “What Up With That” sketches after the jump:
