‘SNL’ Surprise…The Real Baba Wawa On Weekend Update!
Congratulations to Barbara Walters on a brilliant 50 + year career in television, and god bless her for her sense of humor that has served her well since Gilda Radner began “doing” her in 1976.
#i” target=”_blank”>http://www.nbc.com/saturday-night-live/video/weekend-update-barbara-walters/2781213 #iAhead of Barbara Walters’ retirement on May 16, Weekend Update pays tribute to the television journalist by compiling clips of her being impersonated on the show – until the real Walters stops by to defend herself and reveals the secrets to her success.
Odd that Baba didn’t stick around for the closing credits – – which were interminable last night – they really came up short (short enough that I wonder if they dropped an entire skit). As long as we’re at it, Colin Jost simply isn’t funny, head writer or not, and while Cecily is struggling, he’s dragging her down.
If the opening skit was Charese Theron singin’ ‘I can’t sing’…this would easily be labelled ‘I can’t do comedy!’
