SNL no longer declining?

This weekends episode was actually really good. Ashton Kutcher is an OK actor, but he really brought some class to sketches like the 4 guys drinking, "washing myself with a loofah", and the ending was so left field, but at least it was an ending, something I have missed in the past 3 years.

But the actual Not Ready for Prime Time Players (the cast) really shined especially Kristen Wiig as Jamie Lee Curtis.
And of Course, Amy Poehler, who I worship, and Seth Meyers, he's ok, did an always excellent Weekend update, the one part of the show who hasn't let me down in the past.
But the Jack Johnson show left me really disappointed, it was short and had no point but to make fun of the artists and mellow music styles that make some girls melt...
The Strip club was great not only for Ashtons Costume, but for the new girl to be spotlighted. Casey Wilson is pretty funny, it will be nice to see if she lasts more then a season as she seems to be a heavier set Kristen Wiig, I hope she breaks out.

I really liked the Death by Chocolate, it was strange but it worked for the 2 sketches I saw. Kutcher in a big bar suit with cartoon hands and a Jokeresque make-up job. Why wasn't he chosen to replace Heath Ledger...

Gnarls Barkley is a great group, Cee-Lo has such an soulful voice, deep and painful to the heart, but when he sings a powerful groove, makes you come alive. And the arrangements of Danger Mouse backing those words with amazing instrumentals that swoon and drive the beat, wooo.

Good Star, Good Band, Good Job, please keep it up.
