So it's been proven that she didn't put her child in a tanning bed, despite what the child is telling other adults? No?

/and why are we so focused on this strip of leather anyway?

FreakinB: Tangent, but Eli Manning did better than I expected. That Little Brothers short in particular was great. Though I'm not looking forward to the inevitable use of the banana picture in sports threads.

As athletes hosting SNL go, he's definitely in the top 1/3 or so. That's admittedly a low bar, since some of the worst hosts in SNL history have been athletes (Michael Phelps, Nancy Kerrigan, etc.). but he's comfortably in the Shaq/Peyton/Barkley territory of athlete-funny.

The Rock was great, if you count him as an athlete rather than an entertainer. "The Rock" Obama was a better impersonation (pre-Hulking out) of the President than Armisen's was at the time.

Barkley's monologue was hilarious.

"Some people say that Weight Watchers is for women. To that I say, 'shut up, Michael Jordan.'"

OregonVet: Just wrapping up the full episode- the kid thing was pretty funny. But that Mother's Day skit was having me giggle. The end really went down hill....

I found the Mother's Day skit hilarious. Even more so because my wife just recently said that she wanted to read that book next and I had no idea what it was about.

I don't understand tanning beds in general, but especially not during the summer. Why the fark can't people just lay out in the actual sun?

SNL did something good?

Toast her thighs! Toast 'em!

Stick a fork in her, I think she's done.

chimp_ninja: As athletes hosting SNL go, he's definitely in the top 1/3 or so.

Agreed. Both Eli and Peyton were a cut above in the athlete host category.

Since this was Kristin Wiig doing a marginally funny new character we will have to endure exponentially less-funny "tanning mom" sketches for the next 19 episodes of SNL, because nobody beats a character to death better than Wiig.

Politicandy: "Hahahahaha, that SNL skit mocking my endangerment of a child was hilarious, LOLOLOL."

Geez - lighten up, Francis.

She took her to a tanning salon, not your mother's bedroom.

Tanning-obsessed mom Patricia Krentcil toasted "Saturday Night Live" yesterday after the show roasted her - and came up with a terrific punch line.

Nah, she was already like that.

can I troll on Monday?

"Meh, mocking a child endangerment issue doesn't seem funny to me. And SNL? Much like Howard Stern, is SNL still relevant and still exist?"

Thanks, I'm done now.

they're all pink on the inside, although I'd assume you're referring to children?

The lady they are making fun of looks like a hot dog that has spent too much time on the 7-11 wiener roaster.

Man, could someone please explain to me the Kristin Wiig hate? The woman is a comedy goddess and a hell of writer, too. I just don't understand why she's so hated.

he heeeeee

SNL hasn't been any good since the 80's and this confirms it. That sucked.

I'm not knocking SNL. It's just weird to me that this lady's not a little more freaked out about the situation. I would be curled up in a ball crying if I had child endangerment charges brought against me and was being mocked across the world, but hey that's just me. Maybe she has a better sense of humor than I do.

She also thinks that what she is doing is NORMAL. She looks like she's ready to star in a minstrel show, and she doesn't see that as a problem, so of course neglecting her kid wouldn't be a big deal to a nut job like her.

JerseyTim: Something about the media's focus on this woman bothers me. She's not a celebrity. The whole idea that she committed some sort of child abuse was a huge misunderstanding. She's just a wackjob who likes to tan a lot. I'm sure every tanning salon in America has some sort of freakshow who shows up five times a week. Does that mean that TMZ can follow her every move, TV news can report on her and SNL gets to make a joke out of her? It doesn't feel right.

Yeah, it seems kind of.... overdone, if you will.

Diogenes: Silly Jesus: I don't understand tanning beds in general, but especially not during the summer. Why the fark can't people just lay out in the actual sun?

Same reason people do many things: convenience, laziness, and instant gratification.

Wouldn't walking out your front door and laying down be lazier, more convenient, and instant-er? Not to mention, free.

I'd say you need to go watch those shows hosted by Kirstie Alley, but no one should be subjected to that. No one.

Fixed.

Whenever you were 17-22 years old, that was when SNL was 'good'.

Okay, that's one skit out of hundreds. You may not like all the characters (I can't stand the Target Lady) but Kristin Wiig herself is hilarious.

And yes, I'd hit it.
