'Saturday Night Live': Amy Poehler, Katy Perry on 'I Kissed a Girl'
Twitter
GoogleAmy Poehler is back on "Saturday Night Live" for its 36th season premiere episode. Watch above as she and cast member Kenan Thompson question musical guest Katy Perry about her first hit single "I Kissed a Girl."
The second episode of the season should prove quite good as well, Bryan Cranston, the Emmy-winning star of "Breaking Bad," is hosting and Kanye West is the musical guest. We hope they find a way to work Kanye into at least a couple sketches. As John Harper so wonderfully points out, you could put "Liz Lemon" into any Kanye tweets and he suddenly becomes Tracy Jordan.
"Saturday Night Live" airs Saturday nights at 11:30 p.m. ET on NBC. Will you be tuning in for Poehler's return?

After 36 years SNL sucks! This awfull show should be canceled, the cast blacklisted, the studio 8A set distroyed, Jeff Zucker beaten to death.
Wow, Alex, why don't you tell us how you REALLY feel?...but seriously, I could have done without that last comment, that's just downright despicable and irresponsible...
@ Mark; When this show began George Calin was the host and many writers were from "National Lampoon". Now a jack-off is the hostess and a bunch of jack-off's are writers, that's how I really feel. What should be brilliant is P.C. horse$hit.....sad. The show has lost it's edge, deal with it!
I think the problem lies in the man in charge, Lorne Michaels. The way the show is set up with the competition of everyone to make King Lorne laugh when pitching sketches is counterproductive. I recently read that the classic Cowbell sketch was rejected seven times before it finally aired. What does that tell you about the judgment of the person in charge especially when you see the crap that does make it on the show every week. I also question a show that has 20+ writers but can only come up with 2-3 decent sketches per episode. But I think Amy Poehler is great so I'll be watching tonight.
This show should be canceled once and for all. Just awful drivel.
I was watching reruns on VH1 today and they were hilarious. I laughed more in one episode than I did all season...
why is SNL (saturday night lame) still aired? i mean come on people, that show sucks. its not funny. it sucked 30 years ago as bad as it sucks today.
tonight was the season premiere? it was the biggest, dullest, yawner i've ever seen, in fact i don't think i laughed at all. I finally turned to an old re-run of dave chapelle, and was at least able to laugh
It seems the skits are written by gay men who are high while writing and/or very immature or full of issues. Last night was better than usual and ofcourse it was best long ago when straight men and women were more likely the writers and why do I say this? Because, I get the humour of straight writers more so then gay because I am straight and more so of a woman then of a man because I am a woman. We can't all be pleased by every sketch but, the weird tasteless crap is what SNL has become known for and so, we expect it now. We tune in to be shocked and disgusted at the floppy sketches. If every single sketch was hilarious we would be watching old SNL or Carol Burnett! I lol several times lastnight for a change and was grateful but, will that be the norm this season for me? I doubt it. But, desperate to lol I will keep watching just incase!
I have watched this show since almost the beginning. Although I do agree not every sketch or even show for that matter is always great, there are many classic and very funny moments in every season. The show is an American Classic.
