    After hearing your remarks regarding recent SNL skits not being too great lately, I find it a bit appalling that you do not find the ‘What’s Up With That?’ skits absolutely hysterical. What’s funnier than Keenan Thompson interrupting his guests, with a little cymbal in the background, with the running man running in place somewhere all while Lindsey Buckingham never gets his big chance to talk?!? Sometimes you even get a little Steve Martin…what’s up with that, Guru and Jere?
