Pretty funny writing...the show hasn't aired on the Left Coast yet, so hopefully the acting was worthy of the writing.
Why I say this is because IMHO the SNL Weekend Update news segment has lagged considerably since Jimmy Fallon left. Amy Poehler sucks in that role (bad timing, apparent reading, etc), and she has dragged Tina Fey down with her.
I prefer the dynamic of either a male and female, or a single anchor, if they are going to do two females, they need to have one who at least has some bite. I assume thats what Poehler is supposed to add, but it usually comes across badly to me.
Amy Poehler is okay in some sketches, but she in over her head (like Colin Quinn was), when it comes to doing the news. I say give Horatio Sanz or one of the others a shot...Maya Rudolph appears to be the most versatile and talented female on the cast - I think she would kill on Weekend Update.
That's the news, have a good weekend,
