A very fun montage of Conan’s onscreen bit roles in sketches from his SNL writer days, complete with a fake clip of two people in a horse costume at the end. I like how he’s openly acknowledging that he started out as a writer on SNL. Nice touch with Conan doing the same physical moves after his entrance that he regularly did around this time after making his entrance on his Late Night show on NBC. TRM & Japanese tourists accompany host to his studio Max Weinberg cameo Also, I don’t think these latest Bush sketches have been written by Jim Downey, who wrote the acclaimed Bush sketches during the election in the first half of the season, so that may explain the drop in quality. These don’t seem to work as well as sketches where Will’s Bush plays off of other people. These Bush-addresses-the-nation cold openings lately have been pretty average. A classic Will-as-Bush moment right now, with his definition of 24/7: “That’s 24 hours a week… 7 months a year.” Will-as-Bush’s health comparisons between himself and vice president Dick Cheney have some laughs.

I like the twist on the usual Don Pardo-read “Saturday Night Live, normally seen at this time, will be delayed– etc.” announcements that these presidential address-to-the-nation cold openings usually begin with, by having Pardo now say “Saturday Night Live, normally delayed at this time, will be delayed again so we can give you this following– etc.” Unlike ailing workaholic Dick Cheney, George W.
