That Jeopardy sketch is a riot,pure and simple! Always fun watching a decent Sean Connery Imitation and amy's acting is so good it does not even come off as acting. That little "simon" toy skit? Hardy-har-har! I used to watch these guys back in 76,77,and so on. While at times there have been some droughts it is always refreshing when they renew themselves with a new actor or ress!

I was going to watch all of these until I realized I had to watch a commercial with each and every one of them.

Love Huffington Post. Great article.

But..... who has time to watch a gazillion Hulu commercials before you can see the clips? And then it asks if the commercial is relevant to me - I press no, and it plays the same commercials for the next clip. Epic fail. I gave up after the first three. I'll catch the clips on YouTube or somewhere less intrusive.

Well, I am hoping she does Chrisitne O'Donnell.  It would be great if she did O'Donnell with Fey's Palin.  I would love to see what those two talk about in private!  lol

Her character on Bronx Beat is SO funny! I hope she does it again when she's back!

The Sarah Palin's refusing to do the rap number was the first sign of the true nature of the quitter twitter from Wasiller.

HP, can we have one freaking article without a photo of Palin's mug attached to it?!

So, there's 16 clips to look at, and before each of them I have to sit through a (at least) 30 second commercial for some product I have no interest in buying.
No thanks, I'll pass.

...then Poehler went to Parks and Recreation in order to pursue her dreams of being boring and unfunny. Burn.
