Worst Sketch: Conflicting Stories, Political Ads
Weirdest Sketch: Bullhorn, Z105 All-morning
Most Seen Player: Rachel Dratch
Least Seen Player: Fred Armisen
Next Week: Nia Vardalos with musical guest Eve. That should be a good episode. I bet Nia and Tina will get along. Both writers turned actresses and both had a very Greek wedding.
