Not one of those college types…

This is kind of a propos of nothing, but I’m still reliving Tina Fey’s guest spot on Saturday Night Live. So good!

Pretty much all of the sketches were strong — even the ones at the end, traditionally the scrap ground for the half-baked, half-finished leftovers of the week. But I guess they had some time on their hands over the strike, because the whole episode was great.

One of my favorite sketches came at the end — Virgania Horsen’s Hot Air Balloon Rides. I think Kristin Wiig has really come into her own as a cast member, and although she’ll always be second banana to Amy Poehler (who is incredible and completely pulled off that Ghostbusters song in last week’s Weekend Update, if you happened to see it) she has some been demonstrating some great chops.

For instance, take a look at this clip. It’s so awkward — I love it!
