Rainn Wilson, Arcade Fire
Wow, man. They finally got their stuff together. The entire first hour of the show was great, each sketch ended perfectly. The Office parody during the monologue was spot on. Could you believe Jason Sudeikis' Jim impression? And who would have thought they could write such a variety of creepy characters for Rainn Wilson to play?
Sure it lost steam in its last half hour with that lame Black Snake Moan parody, and sure Andy Samberg can't do a British accent, and sure the Arcade Fire have more conviction and sincerity than they do interesting musical ideas, but overall, I think this show was terrific.
Hopefully some of the naysayers and Hey-this-show-has-sucked-since-1977 sentimentalists were watching. And hopefully this marks the beginning of a renaissance over there at 30 Rock (the building, not the sitcom). We shall see.
