Cheri Oteri Interview

I don't know if you're in the market for a longform interview with SNL cast member Cheri Oteri but I saw this and said, "Yes, please."

I think it was already pretty known that the Rita Delvecchio character was based on growing up in Upper Darby but it was fun hearing about it. And SNL stories are always fun, especially when Christopher Walken is involved.

Late Night - Christopher Walken

Christopher Walken was on Late Night last night. Admittedly, the interview is more informative than funny but I enjoyed it.

They talk about the "Cowbell" sketch, "The Continental" and touch on Chris' career as a child performer.

To play him on, the Roots played a version of "Don't Fear the Reaper" which featured 80% cowbell and 20% rest of the song. Excellent.

SNL - Betty White

Betty White is a legend. There aren't many people left who have been ON television for the entire timespan OF television and she is one of them. In fact, she goes back to the days of radio. Pick a decade of television and she was involved. I can't get over that.

All of this makes it quite impressive and fitting that a facebook petition to get Betty White to host SNL actually succeeded.

The show was pretty good. In particular, I enjoyed the census sketch.

However, for my money this will always be THE census sketch:
