If you happened to be one of the few people who actually DOES watch Saturday Night Live, then you actually saw something entertaining this weekend. Ashlee Simpson got caught lip-syncing, due to a technical malfunction (news story).
Perhaps more important than pulling a Millie Vanilli, is how this really should be the demise of Saturday Night Live. I remember growing up watching the show, it was raw, edgy, and not definitely not “safe” TV. However at this point it’s become little more than a corporate playground. One of the best analysis I’ve read comes from Tony Pierce who sees this as the Jump the Shark moment that it is…
Saturday night live used to be counterculture. it used to be punk rock. but it hasn’t been punk rock in decades and the other night night just put the last nail in your coffin. and good riddance i say. you are the establishment. you should do your lame open, show the cartoon, do weekend update, show the band, and get off the shitter. but you hate us. thats why you keep doing all this bad tv.
i know you hate us because you hired ashlee. thats not love. the highlight of most of the episodes of snl used to be the musical guests.

i remember the stones being on there, the dead, the replacements.
why don’t you take what happened saturday night as a hint that your show has jumped the shark. that you’re too old that you don’t care any more what is counterculture to america and the best way to realize that is by having jude law host and ashlee simpson “sing”.
Tony’s full post SNL you ignorant slut!
