And that isn't anything against Lohan, her well documented escapades or her hopeful recovery. The fact is she just wasn't ready. It was apparent that the cast and the writers didn't particularly trust her and why should they? Also, she hasn't acted in so long that her cue card reading was really obvious.
To be fair, all hosts are told to the read the cue cards because of the last-second changes that are made, but with Lohan it became particularly distracting. And, you know what, it's never a good thing when the host's lawyer has final approval over sketches. Then, during the good nights, I watched Lohan approach cast member after cast member, seeking an endorsement, but, instead, receiving what seemed to be a forced, "Oh, yeah , you were great.
And, worse, because they were playing it so safe with Lohan on a night, I should add, that two commercial parodies were repeated from earlier this season this was a really boring show.
Sketch of the Night. I mean, seriously, by the time this aired, I was almost comatose. And vintage "keep repeating a joke over and over and over and over" until it becomes funny. I wanted to hate this sketch, but it won't let you hate it. It just keeps going until you're forced to love it. Somewhere, right now, as you're reading this, Fred Armisen is still being run over by a car.
I'm sure we can make room for you. Hey guys, can we make some room for Lindsay? I don't know, at the table. Yeah, she can just kind of yell like we're doing, or whatever. It really doesn't mater. And, hey, it's another death montage, just like "The Adult Film Awards. Unfortunately, this one -- even with the inclusion of Terrific Vince -- didn't quite live up to its predecessor.
