In case you missed it…

You could say that the second Seth Rogen-hosted episode of SNL was lousy with recurring bits, both expected and not. But “lousy with” has negative connotations for a generally strong episode, so I’ll say this episode was delightful with recurring bits, and hope that phrase catches on in a totally non-confusing way.

Lots of familiar but enjoyable recurring characters turned up: Bill Hader’s guest-flummoxing Italian talk show host Vinny Vedecci, and a variety of Weekend Update players: Rod Blagojevich, Jean K. Jean, and Angelina Jolie. The Digital Short, “Like a Boss,” wasn’t technically a rerun, but I’m disappointed to see the Lonely Island going back and making videos for fresh material that debuted on their Incredibad album a few months back.

I can cook anything, as long as it’scereal.
