OMGoodness, Ben Affleck was HILARIOUS! Who knew he had that in him? I had written him off as an actor but thought he did a great job as a director. Well look at that! Excellent!

As for McCain, yeah he was funny, but I will never understand who told him:
a-that choosing Palin as a running mate was a good idea
b- that having her and him appear several times on a show that HATES both of them and make an ass of themselves would prove to the undecided voters that he should be their next president.

I’m sure both enormities came from the same person as they are branded with the same level of stupidity so its a good thing then, for no other reason , that McCain was not elected as that idiot advisor would then have gotten a chance at advising McCain on much, much more important issues!!

So yeah McCain is funny and has great timing and all that, but uhm…I’m not sure anyone really cares…as they said way back when “it’s the economy, stupid!”….oh well…

I THOUGHT BOTH BEN AFFLECK & JOHN MCCAIN WERE FABULOUS..
I THOUGHT THE QVC SCENE WAS HYSTERICAL & BEN WAS AT HIS BEST & SPOT ON KEITH OBRERMANN WAS OUTSTANDING S WELL AS HIS ALEC BALDWIN..
LOVED THE SHOW..

McCain is widely known for his sense of humor. It’s what helped him through being a prisoner of war in Vietnam for 7 years! Whether or not you vote for him, John McCain is a likeable guy on a personal level (he is well known as such). As opposed to say, George W. Bush.

I liked the skits and thought they were well done, plus McCain was brave to appear in front of a very liberal audience, some of which couldn’t enjoy the humor due to their intense bias against him as a Republican.

I love Fred Armissen! He’s hysterical! I thought the skits went on too long. And for some reason; the timing must have been off or something; they didn’t spur as many out-loud laughs as they should have for how funny they were. But I DID think it was funny.

I thought Affleck was pretty funny. Hubby and I cracked up over his UPS guy/Target lady skit.

McCain is no comedian…never purported himself to be. But he has a sense of humor and I thought he did as well as any non-professional entertainer would do on a live show. It was not high comedy, but it was amusing.

poor dear, a republican without money. apparently he’s forgotten about the eleven houses, umpteen cars, and the vast brewery fortune. . .

I loved Ben in the Target Lady skit! I laughed my head off! I think Ben does a great job and obviously enjoys doing the show because he tends to crack up during some of the funnier skits. I was kinda waiting for Matt Damon to show up and surprise Ben, but he didn’t. I wished Jennifer Garner would host the show. I think it would be funny!
