Did anyone watch the SNL 40 Special last night?

I didn't catch it live, but my cable has it on demand in 5 parts. I watched 2 yesterday and think it could have used a buttload of editing, but live, so....

 

Larraine Newman doesn't even look like herself anymore-bad plastic surgery. I liked the Fey/Poehler/Curtin Update. Some of the skits were very awkward and WTFish. LOVED the Jeopardy bit-especially "Connery" and "Burt Reynolds"

The best part of this special was always always always going to be the stories that came out of it.

 

Norm Macdonald said on twitter tonight that the original idea was for Eddie to do the Cosby impression on Celebrity Jeopardy. But Eddie just didn't feel comfortable kicking a guy when he's down like that. Wasn't necessary to him. (it's worth checking out his feed)

 

Here's Jimmy Fallon summing up the after-party, which is long but worth a listen:

 

Seth Meyers talking about the same thing:

The list of people who performed during the after party looks like a weird Coachella lineup (ft. Actors!)
