    And yet, even though the song is from a year ago, I would expect a bit of Little Lion Man. Still hear it on the radio. Still get annoyed.
    Does anyone know what M & S's first set is?

    Never mind, it's "I Will Wait".

    I look at Levitt & I still see a short long-haired kid named "Tommy".

    The musical guest sounded great but damn they looked stupid heads down playing their instruments. Which normally wouldn't have been bad but they kept doing it.

    As soon as I heard Syria, I knew these two were coming out.

    Yeah, having that part performed by whoever is playing Ann Romney was pure genius!

    Are they retiring that "four buddies say weird things while a song plays" sketch? First time it hasn't ended in some demented way.

    As soon as I saw Suds with a drink at a bar, I knew they were going to be singing.

    That sketch where four people at a table discussing weird ancedotes while a popular song is playing which usually has a twist ending didn't have one this time unless the twist was simply that we would be surprised they would actually join in with the performing musical group in singing the song while leaving the stage! So I guess that was the surprise...

    4 psycho's singing I've missed that bit but Gordon's was the weakest of them all and maybe the bit is retired considering how it ended.

    Well, that last sketch lives to the reputation of the "10 to 1 (or 12 where I live)" spot.

    If you mean the ending sketch being a throw away sketch, then yes I agree as the clock turns 12 here as well and to avoid the last boring M&S performance. I found myself on youtube watching the Gangum Style video sad but true.

    So they actually tried to put one more sketch on which I thought was funny especially with the references to penises.

    Seriously did we need another one silly commercial freak out should've been earlier if at all on the show. Gordon sucked as a host or the writers couldn't write bits for him either way he wasn't enjoyable.
