Con- (dead) Air

Last Saturday when watching Saturday Night Live, I was a little disappointed with the lack of creativity given to the John Malcovich sketches. When I saw the delightfully clever commercial featuring John and rapper TI in which they said they knew each other from "camp", I was excited. I didn't take Malcovich for much of an SNL ethusiast, to be quite honest, I didn't think the man had a sense of humor. Sure he's a brillian actor, but actor and comedian are NOT synonomous.

As I figured, he's not a comedian, there were some fun moments, but he was a little stiff, and at times, a bit judgmental of the characters he was playing. But he got through it, and so did I. My boyfriend however, fell asleep.

I did see this jewel. Its Fred Armisen playing in another Obama spoof. It thought it was brilliant, but you decide.
