I missed the first 30 minutes because of work, but the Clinton/Condi sketch was the highlight of what I saw. Darrell Hammond rules. I have to say overall the show (what I saw of it)was a bit flat.
As I expected the absense of Tina Fey's writing was evident. The new writers seem to be searching for a new dimension of behind the scenes comedy with the Brian Williams, Farrah Fawcet, and the water bottle story sketches. It seems awkward now, but maybe with some work it could be greatness.
It's clearly a rebuilding year.
