![]() They then went on to retract several other fake stories before closing out the show. This week's show started with a parody of Dateline NBC to retract a story where they reported on a line of GM trucks that were more prone to explosions during accidents while admitting that they used explosives to make the story more compelling. Until that happens, it’s now time to shift gears and move on from my Baldwin thoughts to share what I saw in this episode, as I give you… I’m just saying that this episode made it a little hard to consider this a full-blown Baldwin show but I did see continued improvement and can’t wait for visit number four. That not to say that this episode was bad, in fact, I would say that it was actually great and not good but not great like the rest of the year has been so far. Of course, this being the season that it is, this visit was a bit of a mixed bag in that he was good in that all of his sketches but half the night was devoted to Paul McCartney who was the special music guest. I was half expecting for this trend to continue on until Alec grew out of his looks a little more but by visit two he was already to the point where he could have been a legitimate cast member. I’m actually kind of surprised by how quickly he figured it out because I wasn’t all that impressed with his first visit where the show treated him more like the hot guy of the week that was used more as a prop for the female cast to fawn over in funny ways over being all that funny himself. Hell, I think he even found his fit faster than any alumni who’s come back to host since they are often too hung up on the old ways to play well with the new casts. Of all of the repeat hosts Alec Baldwin has to be the most impressive because he found how he fit in with the show faster than anyone else including the greats like Steve Martin and Buck Henry. ![]()
