Wanda Sykes and "Saturday Night Live" Bring the Gay to Late Night with ManCrunch and DADT

Production values are higher on Wanda's reshoot

Saturday night the late night shows all delivered something of gay interest. I wish they'd stop doing that so I didn't have to watch and report.

The Wanda Sykes Show chose to take on ManCrunch.com and CBS. To her credit, Sykes showed the ManCruch.com ad in full. She then put her marketing degree to good use and told them how they could have gotten it on during the game. The biggest takeaway is that Wanda's show could throw together the ManCrunch.com commercial on a late night television budget and not lose any quality. In fact, Wanda's version was shot in high-def.

Saturday Night Live had host Ashton Kutcher on, and they did three sketches that in theory were gay humor. I'll show two, because the Spartacus knock off was too stupid for me to put my name on. Once you watch the other two, you'll end up going and looking for that one just to see how it could be less funny than these two.

The show did a cold open with Fox News debating "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" repeal. I'm always amazed that anybody let's Greta Van Susteren on television, or radio for that matter. And SNL really doesn't exaggerate her voice. Meanwhile, Karl Rove should realize that television isn't for unattractive people, either physically or their souls.

Still, this was the best sketch of the night. When they explained which gays were acceptable Will, but not Jack, Neil Patrick Harris but not no Elton John , I actually smirked. For an SNL sketch, a smirk is an amazing accomplishment. Glenn Beck was spot on, and I can only assume people watch him for the same reason they watch Comedy Central.

They then followed it up with their take on The View. I think it's great that they can get Elisabeth Hasselbeck to play herself. And if it's not her, can you really tell the difference?

Does anyone watch SNL these days? Besides writers who have to write about it?
