'Gossip Girl' Blake Lively's 'Saturday Night Live' promo gives us a little hope

andysamberg_blakelively_snlpromo_290.jpgDear "Saturday Night Live": You had us, and then you lost us.

We were a bit wary about "Gossip Girl" star Blake Lively's comedic turn for "SNL's" Dec. 5 airing after January Jones' disappointing episode.

However the first promo got us interested. I mean, come on, it was cute, Lively and Andy Samberg gasping at a real-life pair of magic pants.

Then, unfortunately, we were given a taste of what too often passes for humor on "SNL": a grown man joking about his virginity to a beautiful woman, but in the hammiest, Jim Carrey-est way possible.

Watch the promos for yourself:

Will you watch Saturday? Or are you content with Lively visiting your home as Serena?

Well, I didn't think Taylor Swift was going to be as good of a host as she turned out to be, so anything is possible.

The video does not play for me, just a spinning blue circle. :(

WOWOWO.we should have a exiting night.we must find what we need.so there is a
goodwetsite====onenightcupid.com====where you can find lots of sexy girl to go with you for onenightcupid.BE FREE,you can have a try.

Never saw Lively in Pants or Gossip, but from her talk show appearances she seems pretty bright (pretty pretty, too). Might be a good SNL.

Second strike from me for this Randy Greaser character. Obviously doesn't get that SNL has ALWAYS been a combination of smart political parody and sex humor. One more strike and you're out, buddy. Out of my regular "read" list, that is.
