Grown Up Problems

I finally caught up on the awesome show "Up All Night." I highly recommend you do the same if you haven't already.

The second episode centers around Reagan and Chris (Christina Applegate and Will Arnett) getting new, hip, cool neighbors. All they want is to impress this couple, and they get to work on it right away. Sure, tequila on the doorstep was a risky move, but after some Facebook profile tweaking, they get invited to the couple's first party. Unfortunately, Reagan and Chris have a baby that they would like to put to sleep sometime in the near future, and the noise is not helping. I loved the contrast between Reagan and Chris and the new couple, oh and another couple as well. So funny. Check out the episode here.

You're going to love the third episode. I think it was the best yet. Turns out, Ava (Maya Rudolph) used to date this sleazy R&B singer played by Jorma Taccone from the hilarious Lonely Island trio. Their relationship was ... tumultuous. So, when Ava finds out he's getting married, she freaks out at Reagan, who happened to facilitate their break up. Meanwhile, Reagan and Chris are struggling to find balance between being comfortable and just looking like a mess. Chris decides to start dressing nicer at home to prompt Reagan to do the same. She's not feeling it, since she has to be in girdles and spanx all day at work. The last thing she wants to do when she gets home is dress up. There's a wickedly witty breakfast scene where Reagan makes her point that you just have to see. Awesome. To help Ava out of her funk, Reagan arranges a meeting between her and her ex, B-Ro (but first we get to see the magical music video they made together - OMG). Check out the episode immediately.

Oh and follow Ava (the character) on twitter, and check out her website. Oprah, who? This lady is my hero!

I Love SNL This Time of Year

Yes, SNL is back with its 37th season. That's amazing. I've said it before, and I'll say it again: I am an SNL fan. You can make fun of me all you want. Tell me about all of the terrible seasons there have been over the last 37 years, I don't care. I will stick with this show forever. Because even in the worst episodes, there is some glimmer of fun and laughter. And if not, there's always next week.

This season is off to a great start. Alec Baldwin was the season premiere host, and it was a great show. Steve Martin and Seth Rogen made an appearance in the monologue, which I think worked quite well. Alec is a great host because he's not only a talented actor, he has real comedic timing, which not every actor has. There were some real gems in this episode, including Alec's impressions of Tony Bennett and Al Pacino, Kristin Wiig's amazing perfume ad for "Red Flag", and everyone's favorite game, "Who's On Top?". You can see the sketches, exclusive online clips and the full episode here.

The second episode of the season was even better than the first. Melissa McCarthy, who in my opinion is a funny lady genius, hosted and brought it big time. You know her from the hilarious movie "Bridesmaids". Her monologue was so fun, it set the tone for the whole show for me. This lady is fearless. I loved the Arlene sketch and the Taste Test the most. She really goes there - just like Kristin and one of my other faves, Maya Rudolph. Sometimes I wish Maya was still on the cast. She's also a funny lady genius. Check out Melissa hosting here.
