HL on SNL (& let's pray for RSL)

[bironic]

Hugh Laurie to host Saturday Night Live on October 28.

Chances RSL will show up for an impromptu sketch?

Okay, slim to none, but I bet they'll do a House parody in which one of the SNL cast plays Wilson and maybe there will be, as TWOPpers would say, HoYay. Lots and lots of HoYay.

Regardless, it's sure to be a fun episode.

RSL, obviously, because he's repressed! ...I mean, fantastic idea. Someone should propose that to fryandorlaurie to write before the show airs. Then when if it sucks we'll have the fic to fall back on.

It's that they'll have one decent joke and they'll repeat it. And repeat it.

Ohhhhh, that problem (to quote Meg Ryan in French Kiss, and I can't believe I just did that). Yes indeedy. On occasion, those beat-it-to-death sketches do get funny a couple of days after sitting through them. Like the cowbell.

If RSL wins then I'd be the happiest-- and stupidest-- fangirl in the world It could be a fandom-wide challenge. I'd love to see what gets turned out. The only problem, of course, would be the inevitable flame wars. XD

Cowbell?

Oh, I wasn't thinking of a poll so much as an RPS fic where someone writes out what that sketch could be like. Otherwise, yeah, rip in the fandom space-time continuum with the wankiness.

When Christopher Walken hosted SNL in the 90s, there was this now-infamous sketch in which he played a record company exec ordering Blue Oyster Cult to play up the cowbell while they were recording "Don't Fear the Reaper." The joke went on and on and on and yet afterwards it was the funniest thing ever. And once you've seen it you can't listen to the song without thinking of it.

Annnd I just realized you didn't mean a poll either. Sorry. Skimming comments is sometimes a bad idea.
