Seth Meyers’ headlines were good enough, but the characters just fell flat. Weekend Update was a rare disappointment, with Aidy Bryant as a sexually frustrated Mrs. But regardless, Ne-Yo did a fine job performing “Let Me Love You” and “She Is.” Ne-Yo’s performances were pretty good, although he does come off as trying too hard to be Usher. It wouldn’t have been a bad idea, but considering Alex Cross came out almost two months ago, it feels a bit stale. After that came the return of J-Pop America Funtime Now! This isn’t one of those recurring segments that SNL has run into the ground, but it is getting a little old at this point.Ī trailer parody for Tyler Perry Presents Tyler Perry’s Alex Cross 2-Madea: Special Ops felt incredibly obvious, as Foxx played both Alex Cross and Madea at the same time. It’s too easy of a joke to make, but does have a few decent lines. I’m not a fan of the former, which was at its most irritating point here.įollowing that was Bitch, What’s the Answer?, a game show parody where Foxx yells at white contestants, calling them “bitch” when they don’t know the answer. Throughout the night, Foxx played two distinct character types: incredibly cocky and confident, and the somewhat dumb character. It’s not surprising that once again the monologue relied on singing, especially since after winning the Oscar for Ray, Foxx seems to think he has been inhabited by the spirit of Ray Charles himself. Nothing special.įoxx’s opening monologue was all over the place, starting with Foxx stating, “How black is that?” to different things and ending with some time at the piano and then dancing along with a cameo from 2 Chainz. It’s mostly just recounting the increasing level of pranks that Bill Hader’s Boehner has been the butt of. Starting off was a lukewarm C-SPAN segment, where Obama and Boehner discuss the fiscal cliff and that Obama will give Boehner what he wants because he feels sorry for the constant bullying Boehner has had to deal with. Thankfully, “Jamie Foxx/Ne-Yo” was full of plenty of great bits, even though the episode’s first half didn’t look so promising. Between the Anne Hathaway and Jeremy Renner episodes, it felt like the writers needed a bit of a break to come back with some fresh ideas. It’s been three weeks since the last new episode of Saturday Night Live, which is probably a good thing.
