I'm not alone in that assessment. Over at Entertainment Weekly, Ken Tucker supplies a review of last night's SNL, making the same observation. Here's an excerpt of his nice blow-by-blow account of the program:
Butler had to compete for screen time not only with Bud Light, but also with Kristen Wiig, who seemed to be everywhere. Sketches would begin with one premise — say, Butler as an ad-agency rep coming up with ideas about how to make cottage cheese sexy — only to have Wiig enter and take over the sketch doing one of her 25 interchangeable nervously-awkward characters. I’m not saying Wiig isn’t talented; it’s just that she’s being stretched too thin. Couldn’t Abby Elliott, Jenny Slate, or Nasim Pedrad have been used more prominently to give her (and them) a break?
The answer to Ken's question is a big ol' YES!
Free Nasim Pedrad! Free Nasim Pedrad!
Oh, and one other thing about last night... SHAKIRA IS INSANELY HOT.
