Alec Baldwin is one of the best guest hosts ever on SNL, always funny...the friggin Tony Bennet thing kills me. He's been consistantly strange, wierd and funny over the years. This was a re-run, no?

Shakira is pretty much woman. Jeez. Lose the schtick and make more serious music and you have, perhaps, a rock great..of course, with a latin flair. She has very interesting control of the muscular type and a body for the ages...not skinny, SEXY. Her voice is also incredibly unique. It sounds like her whole neck opens up when she sings...not s sexual implication..just a fact. I'd like to hear her under the reins of a Kate Bush type of style...something like that or harder rock. sorry, im rambling

Shakira could be amazing. Very unusual and definitely beautiful. kj.

Does anybody happen to have any of the "Zinger vs..." sketches? I can't find them anywhere.

One in particular was with Baldwin and "Burns vs. Zinger" (Zinger was Seth Meyers).

Here's a laugh...Wayne Brady. ; )

It's from a secret Shweaty family recipe.

I'm not familiar with sharika - what is her 'schtick'?

you mean "who.." right?

I liked the Tylenol BM fake commercial. You will sleep so good you won't even wake up for your morning bowel movement. That skit made me laugh.

It's been commented that of many hosts, Alec could be a regular. (Same has been said of Tom Hanks and John Goodman.)

I also thought that Patrick Stewart was hilarious, as was (surprising to me) Justin Timberlake.

Robots are strong. They're made of metal. They eat old people medicine for fuel.

yeah, Alec B is great. i missed last night's episode; i hope it was a re-run. my fave Baldwin skit is the randy professor with Will Ferrell - absolutely hilarious and... lewd!~

i also agree that Justin Timberlake was hilarious - he seemed really at ease doing comedy. if he would only switch careers,...

Shakira,

She's a latin/crossover pop star who has an unbelievable voice and she can move her body like a snake or a belly dancer. Her schtick is that she is very aware of her bod and it's power. When she is onstage it's obvious that she is aware of it. If she would just become less aware of the bod and it's effect on the audience it would be better...sing and move as opposed to sing and move and look at the audience for the reaction it gets. She has an amazingly unique voice and is an incredible presence on stage.

Just listened to her. Sounds like the cranberries' singer.

Surprised me too. He was strong. Christina Agulera did a good job too.

okay, downloaded sharika live at hackney

NICE PERFORMER

Looks like bernadet peters
moves like a modern-day FEMALE elvis mixed with gwen stefani

sounds like the cranberries, with Julio isglesias (sp?)

Overall, a great package. Seems to be having fun, and well done.

Alec Baldwin is hilarious on those kinds of shows, and in interviews as well. He comes across as pretty much insane, but hilariously so.

I've always liked Shakira. I think she's adorable and I like her singing voice. Too bad I missed the show, with both of them on, it couldn't lose.

Shakira's the real deal. She writes almost all her own material, even learned English just prior to her breaking in the US so she could write new songs and translate old songs by herself. She is in total control of her own career and has made great decisions so far. She's a breath of fresh air from all the manufacturered, disposable pop princesses.

If you look at the notes on her Laundry Service album it looks like the copy machine broke...

Shakira is a VERY talented singer, writer, and performer. Her English stuff is OK, lite pop, but her voice comes across as mousy in English. In Spanish, here voice BOOMS and soars. Listen to her spanish stuff!
