SNL Review: Dana Carvey/ Linkin Park (2/5/11)

This review contains spoilers, so reader discretion advised.

And they say the classics never die. With Dana Carvey hosting last night's (2/5/11) SNL, the saying proved true.

The cold open have Dana and Mike Myers doing Wayne's World where Wayne and Garth do their Oscar predictions and they put the spotlight on a European thriller called 'Winter's Bone', which, ironically, wasn't nominated for an Oscar this year.

During the monologue, Dana begins to sing on how his 86-93 tenure on SNL was the best with his former cast mates mention such as Phil Hartman and Jan Hooks. Even fellow alumni, Jon Lovitz, stopped by to finish up the song with Dana.

The remaining skits (and I had to watch the entire show because Dana's too good to miss out) include the Church Lady as she takes on the Kardashian sisters (Kim, Kourtney and Khole) and Jersey Shore's Snooki and her "demonic" hair pouf before having Justin Bieber show up and his dreamboat status challenging CL's purity before she came to her senses, a parody of the recently released 'The Roommate' with Carvey and Bieber in the main roles, and a Regis and Kelly send-up with Carvey as Philbin who's going to leave the show among rumors of his replacement.
Musical guest Linkin Park didn't catch my interest, with no offense to the band themselves, but I was hoping that Lorne Michaels would get another band instead.

That's all for my review. Next week's show will have British comic Russell Brand, a.k.a., Mr. Katy Perry, and musical guest Chris Brown. I'm hoping that Brand will be promoting his latest film, the remake of the classic 'Arthur', which will be out during Spring, 2011.
