Merry Christmas to all of you who are celebrating today! And to those observing other holidays this season, I hope your days are also warm, cozy, and bright — and maybe even filled with some new goodies.
To help spread the merriment today, I called on one of Buzz's longtime favorites, Hugh Laurie.

Being the butt of an SNL parody usually means a politician has secured national recognition, but NY Governor David Paterson was none too pleased when the show mocked his blindness this weekend. In the sketch, the New York governor is lambasted for his past drug use, extramarital affair, and the fact that he's legally blind. Paterson, who said he can take a joke, reacted to the sketch today calling it: A "third-grade depiction of people and the way they look" that could lead others to believe that "disability goes hand in hand with an inability to run a government or business.

Not quite two months after the birth of her son, Amy Poehler said farewell to Saturday Night Live on Saturday. Not only did she pull out one last Weekend Update (including a pretty awesome "Really!?! with Seth and Amy" about the Rod Blagojevich scandal), but even Maya Rudolph showed up for a farewell "Bronx Beat" segment — with host Hugh Laurie as their talk show guest, naturally.

Saturday Night Live head writer Seth Meyers recently said his biggest regret about the election-season episodes of SNL was that he didn't get Joe Biden to come on the show. And the more I think about it, the more it really is a shame. Politics aside, Biden's just quippy enough that he could be a fantastic host!

Will You Keep Watching SNL After the Election? Politicians have always been excellent fodder for comedy, and this election season has been very entertaining on SNL (due in large part to Tina Fey's spot-on impressions of Sarah Palin). The SNL Presidential Bash even garnered record ratings on Monday night.
