Did anyone catch Lance Armstrong on SNL this weekend? - cougarguard.com — unofficial BYU Cougars / LDS sports, football, basketball forum and message board

As much as I wanted to, I just could not keep my eyes open to watch the show. I vaguely remember something about a triathlon.

Any good skits that I missed? Any improvement on Jon Heder's performance?

Lance was very comfortable in front of the camera. He seemed more like an actor host than an athlete host. He occasionally had trouble with his lines. I fell asleep about halfway through the show but he did well in the skits that I saw.

It might just be me getting old, but I just don't find SNL very funny anymore. I thought he did very well with the skits he was given, but there was nothing that really impressed me as far as the writing went.

The funniest skit was probably actually the monologue. He took "questions" from the audience and the first guy (can't think of his name but does that lame skit where he's a latin drummer) had a really overdone french accent. He asked him one quick question and then promptly asked for a urine sample.
