'Saturday Night Live': Drew Barrymore upstaged by ghosts, Maya Angelou
Drew Barrymore did the best she could on "Saturday Night Live" this week, but somehow the female to have hosted the most episodes of the sketch show still managed to be upstaged (although we did get a kick out of her Sharon Osbourne impersonation).
In one bit making fun of the Biography Channel's new series "Celebrity Ghost Stories," Barrymore's boyfriend (or, if she's to be believed, boy friend) Justin Long stopped by to channel Matthew McConaughey.
Meanwhile, Weekend Update was there to remind us that Maya Angelou is still not dead.

30 Rock is great, but Tina Fey's writing on SNL was POOR AT MOST. Sad thing is, Forte-Fred-Bill-Andy are really funny, but the writing on this show is HORRIBLE. These guys talents are being wasted on shitty writing. Pity that Seth writing for this show has NOT improved it ONE BIT
@the thing is
Too bad YOU don't know HOW to WRITE without caps and WITH the knowledge of apostrophes, such as using them on the plural possessive of GUYS, which probably would have made more sense in a MORE APPROPRIATE sentence STRUCTURE.
No wonder you don't like the show -- it has more than 140 characters per sketch.
The USA uses SNL as a form of acceptable torture for suspected terrorists, so it still has use today
i like SNL, i mean its no where near as good as it was in the 70s and 90s but it could be worse, it could be madtv (heyoo!), the writers do sometimes seem really lazy though, i think they just write it in like 5 minutes and then spend the rest of the day playing foozeball
I haven't cared much for this season so far, but the fact is, in the '70s lots of people hated the show, and ever since then people have whined about how it's never been as good as it used to be. Just take it for what it is, and if you don't like it, well, there are plenty of other ways to spend a Saturday night.
SNL is better than ever, folks. It's edgy, silly, intelligent, irreverent, and chock full of great talent. The cast is first-rate, just as it's always been from the first show way back when. Loren Michaels knows talent when he sees it, and Tina Fey -- though sketches of course hit and miss -- is legendary. If you don't like the show, folks, change the channel, and let those who continue to appreciate it stay on the pulse. Trashing a great show just shows your own shortsightedness.
Drew Barrymore would be upstaged by a dead cat. Talentless, charmless.
So tired of hearing "this show is unfunny" - "People still watch this show?" blah blah blah. If you don't like it change the channel.
It isn't a sitcom that can polish jokes 50 times before filming so they do a good job with the live versions.
hi-larious! i gotta start tivo'ing again. i stopped after poehler left and palin/mccain lost.
Uh, no, Drew Barrymore is NOT talentless nor charmless. In fact, quite the opposite.
Unfortunately, it was only this last apperance that was talentless and charmless. When hosting in the past, she's usually knocked it out of the park. I don't know why this one fell flat, but I found her strained and forced.
At least her monologue wardrobe was entertaining - she really rocked the hell out of that dress!
Here's hoping this time was just a fluke, and she does better next time.
