Sunday Morning Quarterback – Bruno Mars

I can’t front; I know very little about Bruno Mars.  In fact it’s safe to say that before tonight I’d never heard one of his songs.  Honestly the only think I know about the dude is that he got popped for possession of coke in Vegas a few years back. 

I had no idea he was talented enough to be the host and musical guest for Saturday Night Live.  Either he really impressed them when he was the musical guest or he’s got an agent that would put Ari Gold to shame.  Either way I was oblivious. 

Of course when you have a host/musical guest type situation for every Justin Timberlake, you have a Brittney Spears.  And occasionally you have a hyphenate who doesn’t really need to do musical sketches, like Mick Jagger. 

Sadly Bruno Mars isn’t Timberlake or Jagger. 

Sunday Morning Quarterback – Christina Applegate & Passion Pit

I can’t say that I really had any expectations for this episode.  I’m not a huge Christina Applegate fan and Passion Pit are barely on my radar, though I can’t name a song of theirs. 

Still, the cast is strong enough that I think they support any episode on their own.  There are definitely cast members that I look forward to seeing what they’re going to do on a weekly basis, despite my lack of interested in a host or musical guest. 

Ok, I was basically dreading this episode.

Sunday Morning Quarterback – Daniel Craig & Muse

I’m really trying to think if I had any expectations going into the episode.  I’m pretty sure that I didn’t. Daniel Craig’s not known for comedy.  And there really weren’t any sketches or characters that I wanted to see. 

I will say that during the opening credits, I was secretly hoping to see Paul Brittain’s name.  Sadly, not seeing his name was far from my only disappointment in the episode.
