FRIDAY
We decided a few weeks ago we wouldn't do standby because we leave early Monday morning for our Disney World trip. We wanted to do some last minute packing. It's a good thing it poured all night because if it was a beautiful night we would have felt bad for not doing standby. Hopefully in May.
SATURDAY
After getting ready & talking to our friend Jim we headed out to Rock Center. We ate at Subway & then we went to Ben & Jerry's. We sat in the concourse for awhile. Louis talked to Arlene on the phone. She said it poured a few times during the night. She was #10 in line but got #1 dress ticket.
Arrival time to the NBC lobby for the April 12, 2008 show with host Ashton Kutcher & MG Gnarls Barkley was at 5:30 p.m. We stood around & chatted with regular ticket holders & Arlene. Louis & I went up for dress. 54 standbys got into dress. After dress we went down to the lobby. Had a conversation with Arlene about the show. Also chatted with Leila & Erin about Kenan Thompson. Louis & I went up for the LIVE show. I noticed Michael Johns, the Australian who got knocked off of American Idol last week, sitting two rows in front of me. Only 3 standbys got into the air show.
After the show we went down to the lobby & waited for whoever. We saw everyone except for Darrell Hammond. Chatted with Kenan Thompson, Seth Meyers, Kristen Wiig, Jason Sudeikis & Will Forte. I wanted to talk to Casey Wilson but at the same time, Michael Johns came out. I hurried over to him & I got a picture with him. I also chatted with him for a bit. Will asked us if we saw the Jumper sketch that got cut because the two characters were named Jamie & Louis. We said Yes & he said that sketch was made for us again. He said they will try to get it on air in May. I will describe the sketch below.
WHAT GOT CUT
JUMPER- Ashton Kutcher, Bill Hader & Will Forte. Ashton threatens to jump off the ledge of a building but two cops Jamie [Bill Hader] & Louis [Will Forte] try to talk him out of it.
MICHAEL & TERRY- Casey Wilson & Ashton Kutcher. Ashton tries to break up with Casey but Casey won't leave Ashton alone until he takes her back.
KNICKS- Commercial. An ad about the NY Knickerbockers basketball team & how bad they are. Narrated by Kenan Thompson.
BARKLEY BACKSTAGE- Kenan Thompson & Ashton Kutcher. Ashton is talking to Charles Barkley about being a one man band.
NEAL & JEAN AT SEA- Will Forte, Kristen Wiig, Ashton Kutcher & Jason Sudeikis. Will, Kristen & Ashton are on a ship & they talk about going swimming but in the end they take their bottoms off.
EPISODE REVIEW
PRE-SHOW THOUGHTS- I have always liked Ashton Kutcher. I love his new show Miss Guided. Gnarls Barkley isn't bad. I love their song, Crazy. Should be a good show.
PETRAEUS COLD OPEN- This was OK. It took a little long. I thought Bill's character was funny. C
ASHTON MONOLOGUE- I always like sketches where the host goes backstage. Demi Moore was holding up Ashton's shorts. In dress Will Forte wasn't in costume holding the vase. It was the props guy with two vases. It was funny how Lorne was hiding from Ashton. B
THE COUGAR DEN- This was a boring sketch. Cameron Diaz was made for this sketch. Ashton looked cute dressed as a Tennis Player. I guess Demi didn't want to be in this sketch. D
NIGHT CLUB BOUNCER- I felt sorry for Ashton because he couldn't get into the club & he had to hang out with the annoying guy. I would have gotten mad at the bouncer too for letting weirdos in but not me. C
DIGITAL SHORT: DAQUARI GIRL- This wasn't as good as his others. It was funny when it said Nope, Still Sucks. D
ACTIVIA YOGURT COMMERCIAL- Kristen does a good Jamie Lee Curtis. It was funny how she kept eating the yogurts & then when it came time to shoot, she had problems. B
GNARLS BARKLEY "RUN"- Interesting song. B
WU WITH POEHLER/MEYERS- The only thing funny was Kristen talking so fast you couldn't understand her travel tips. She was good too. WU jokes were OK. C
BAR SONG- I loved this sketch. It's an excellent song & all four guys were good. I loved it when they went into YMCA. A
DEATH BY CHOCOLATE #1- At first I couldn't figure out why a chocolate bar was stabbing an old man until the Death By Chocolate popped up. C
THE MELLOW SONG- I thought this was boring too. Ashton did a good John Mayer. I laughed at the JJ Casuals part because when I first saw the beginning I was thinking about those feet. D
DEATH BY CHOCOLATE #2- This was funny. He shoots Jason & then he puts the gun in the ladies hand. He tangles the tubes & then she dies. C
GNARLS BARKLEY "WHO'S GONNA SAVE MY SOUL"- This was an OK song. C
STRIP CLUB- This should have been done before WU because this was hilarious. Casey is good & Ashton is strong. A+
DEATH BY CHOCOLATE #3- Not as good as the first two but I thought it was funny to have Snow White in the segment. D
AFTER SHOW THOUGHTS- It was nice seeing Ashton Kutcher again. I wasn't expecting Cameron Diaz to cameo until I remembered that she is in the movie with him. Gnarls Barkley was an interesting band. I gave this show a C+.
