Molly Shannon hosts SNL tomorrow

Saturday Night Live has been kind of boring lately (Scarlett Johansson notwithstanding), but it just might shine tomorrow night, when Molly Shannon returns to host.

On the recent NBC special Saturday Night Live in the '90s, one of the writers talked about Molly's method of creating characters. It seemed to be more of a process of discovering a gesture or a way of moving, and then building a persona around that — which, well, if the gesture was putting your fingers in your armpits and then sniffing them, was a smart way to go.

    Yay MoShan!  I haven’t watched SNL since Tina left, but will def be watching tomorrow.  And thanks for including the tree scene from Superstar – I know it’s retarded, but I laugh every time I see it.

    It was cool...

    ...seeing her old characters make new appearances, but I wish they'd done more "new" stuff with her. The show had the flavor of a "best of," but without so much "best." Wiig, however, was pretty much divine. She and Shannon played off each other very well, I thought.      --Talk Derby to me.
