Why hasn't Al been on SNL yet?

Is AL-TV returning or did you find a nice interview? Just tell the folks here.

ha, nice, Marc. Gosh, I haven't heard that song in a while.

Now it's IE who dislikes the file. I give up.

:(
4 words that Al said to me that blew me away:

"How's Problem Child doing?" - 7/12/11

So awesome!

Try the megavideo link again. It's blocked at work, so I can't check if it works. But after 15 hours of "converting" I want to think it does.

Having finally watched the episode myself I can safely say...

How I Met Your Mother > 30 Rock, both in Al references and in general

(And Cobie Smulders > Tina Fey for that matter)

Really? I don't find HIMYM all that funny. The writing is poor; granted, they have an amazing cast.

Come to think of it, Jason Segel and Jack McBrayer worked together in "Forgetting Sarah Marshall"...

Finally saw the episode! NBC actually has a site with episodes available for download. Yay! Loved the celebrity benefit, but hearing Alec Baldwin mention Al was great!

Why hasn't Al been on SNL yet?

Post by socby19 »

A few month back, it occurred to me that I was kind of surprised that Al hasn't made it yet, despite all of the TV appearance he has made. I would love to see Al do "I Lost on Jeopardy", with Don Pardo doing his part while he's still around.

Not only that, but Alec Baldwin has been named host of the season finale and it made even more sense for him to bring back the CNR character with Al now using the song on recent TV appearances. Maybe there's hope for later this year.

I don't think the Facebook campaign will do much, but maybe Twitter will do with those that are close to the higher ups: @jimmyfallon, @sethmeyers21, @questlove

Convince Lorne and @higbones to put @alyankovic on @nbcsnl. #DonPardoLostOnJeopardyFTW

Tell Lorne and @higbones that @alyankovic should be on @nbcsnl #DonPardoLostOnJeopardyFTW

I also figure that celebrities that actively respond to fans might help some movement:

Shouldn't @alyankovic have been on @nbcsnl by now? #DonPardoLostOnJeopardyFTW

I do not think ?uestlove has ANY pull with anyone at SNL, haha.
Regardless, why are you tagging "#DonPardoLostOnJeopardyFTW" on all of these? Pretty random...
