![]() Lorne has just now made a passing mention of the XFL, which is interesting, as an XFL game infamously delayed this episode 45 minutes(!), which, IIRC, forced SNL to go ahead and start doing the episode anyway while the XFL game was still on, and then broadcasting the episode on a tape delay, without Jennifer or any of the cast knowing. I love Tracy-as-Bush’s “How’s that for a tax plan?” bit. ![]() Jennifer is pretty bland as the straight man here. Some good laughs from Will waxing poetic about Jennifer’s behind. Tracy filling in for Will as Bush is hilarious, and I like how Tracy’s attempting an actual Bush impression. Primetime Extra was basically the precursor to the “Weekend Update Thursday” specials that SNL has been doing on occasional years since 2008, only the Primetime Extra specials were less focused on Weekend Update and featured various sketches, including a Celebrity Jeopardy sketch at one point that I believe has become rather obscure compared to the Celebrity Jeopardy sketches that aired in regular SNL episodes. Primetime Extra was a two-week experiment in early February 2001, in which NBC aired a 20-minute live SNL episode on Thursday nights after a “Supersized” 40-minute episode of Friends, in an attempt to compete against CBS’s monster hit Survivor. Will apologizing to Jennifer Lopez for wanting to get his hands on her “juicy” behind is referencing a sketch that Will and Jennifer did at the end of an SNL Primetime Extra special from earlier that week. You’ll see what I mean a little later in this opening (if you can’t already tell from the above screencaps). For the first time all season, we get a non-political cold opening… well, sort of. ![]() ![]() Segments are rated on a scale of 1-5 stars ![]()
