We all love Jason Sudeikis.
He is one of the funniest members of the Saturday Night Live cast, and has also done well with his movies.
But last night, Jason visited with Jimmy Kimmel to promote his upcoming movie “Horrible Bosses” – and the conversation quickly turned to Justin Bieber.
Remember last February when Bieber walked away with the MVP Award at the Celebrity NBA All-Star Game?
Well, so does Jimmy and Jason.

They both reminisce about that evening and Sudeikis talks a little trash about Justin and his basketball skills, and says Bieber won the MVP only so they wouldn’t get trampled by angry 14-year-old girls.
We know it was all said in good fun and that’s why we love these guys.
Sedeikis will be hosting the MTV Movie Awards this weekend and Bieber has been nominated for his 3D movie “Never Say Never”.
Jason’s new movie “Horrible Bosses” is coming out and sounds like it will be hilarious. It’s about three friends who collaborate to murder their awful bosses when they realize they are standing in the way of their happiness.
The flick has an impressive cast including Jennifer Aniston, Jason Bateman, Colin Farrell, Jamie Foxx, and Kevin Spacey.
We can’t wait to see this one.

Video – Justin Timberlake Slams Justin Bieber in Unaired SNL Skit
Wednesday, May 25, 2011
We all laughed at Justin Timberlake and Andy Samberg last week on Saturday Night Live.
But there was one sketch that never saw the light of day.
During a dress rehearsal for a “Mozart” sketch, in front of an audience of 300, Timberlake took a few shots at teen sensation Justin Bieber.
The plot of the skit was that Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was going to take a break from his music career to become an actor. His friends scoffed at the idea asking,
After mentioning that he had already been in a movie about a “Social Network” and appeared on the “Austrian Mouse Club”, his friends told him they would rather go to work for “Wolfgang Amadeus Bieber”.
At this point, Timberlake says,
The audience erupted in laughs.
The jabs seem to be aimed at Bieber’s guest role on the popular “CSI” crime show where the singer was ultimately gunned down, and his concert movie “Never Say Never” that Justin said would not be a concert movie….. but was.
But we think Bieber could have taken the jabs, as he himself has hosted and performed on the show several times.
We suspect the skit was pulled at the last minute in order to stop the media outcry for using the word “black man”.
Hollywood can be a fickle place.

“Amadeus Bieber? You might as well put a wig on a chipmunk and tell him to act like a black man.”

SNL Digital Short with Michael Bolton as Captain Jack Sparrow – Video
Sunday, May 8, 2011
While most of the sketches were not the funniest we’ve ever seen, one stood out as hilarious.
Michael Bolton made a special guest appearance in Andy Samberg’s SNL Digital Short where the group was working on a music video with Bolton.
After arriving late to the shoot because he was busy watching a Pirates of the Caribbean marathon, Bolton told the guys he had a great idea for their music video.
In true Jack Sparrow form, Bolton spun a web of “Pirates” parody throughout.

Saturday Night Live Returns with Bin Laden and Tina Fey Doing Sarah Palin – Video
You just knew that with the death of Osama Bin Laden, and the blabbering mouth of Donald Trump in the news, that there would be some golden nuggets of comedy.
But there really wasn’t.
A pregnant Tina Fey hosted with musical guest Ellie Goulding, and things got off to a mild start with a cold open parody of Osama Bin Laden reading his last will and testament.

The best part of the evening was Tina Fey’s return as Sarah Palin during a sketch about the 2012 Undeclared Candidates GOP Debate. Palin appreciated FOX News hosting the debate since the both paid her and showed her the all the questions ahead of time.
The debate also featured big mouth and bad haired Donald Trump and was the best sketch of the night.

I have to say, Saturday Night Live has really lost their edge over the last ten years. They seem to get so close to greatness but always fall flat.
Between the death of Osama Bin Laden and Donald Trump running his mouth, there were so many fantastic opportunities for some great cutting edge comedy that 90 minutes should not have been enough time to cover it all.
Take the Osama reading his will sketch – writers really had time to make it epic but it just never pulled the laughs. It’s almost like if they get the set, costume, and impersonation down then whatever they say is funny.
And then there was the musical guest Ellie Goulding. She covered Elton Johns “Your Song” and was quite uninspiring. Maybe it’s her voice or the fact that she stood perfectly still during her performances.
If this was American Idol, Ellie Goulding never would have made it through the initial screening. She was bad.
Saturday Night Live has fallen flat and last night was no exception. So many great possibilities but so many lame jokes and sketched.
Weekend Update used to be parody about the week’s top news, but today it’s just a chance to profile weird characters that have nothing to do with the day’s current events. Loose the characters and get back to your roots of spoofing the news.
Sorry Lorne Michaels, but I’m glad I have a DVR.
But maybe I have just fallen out of the shows demographic. I like saying that rather then I’m getting old.
