There's a reason Lorne Michaels keeps asking Alec Baldwin back to host Saturday Night Live: He's really good at it. Baldwin may have made his name in hard-hitting dramas like Glengarry Glen Ross and The Cooler, but SNL has long allowed him to flaunt his skills in stage acting and mimicry. In other words, he never gets flustered or seems at all concerned about making a complete ass of himself--the essence of good sketch comedy. As with such versatile performers as Christopher Walken and John Goodman (who appears in the boozy Bill Brasky skit), these qualities have made him one of the show's most popular hosts. Granted, some may fault the man for a few too many sketches built around the double entendre, like pastry chef Pete Schwetty and his tasty balls, but there's no doubt the guy can sell even the silliest of lines with the straightest of faces. As for his impressions, Baldwin's Tony Bennett--by way of John Travolta--doesn't just capture the legendary crooner's voice and mannerisms, but his unstoppable optimism, as well ('I love things that are great!' ). His squinty-eyed, stiff-necked Robert De Niro is another treat. (His fidgety Charles Nelson Reilly doesn't hit the same heights.) Aside from more than a decade's worth of Not Ready for Prime Time Players, including Mike Meyers, Adam Sandler, and Will Ferrell, The Best of Alec Baldwin includes two deleted dress rehearsal sketches and dishy, occasionally profane commentary from Baldwin and producer Marci Klein. --Kathleen C. Fennessy

Rating:  - This came quickly
I ordered the best of Alec Baldwin, on Saturday Night Live, I received this way before the date it was supposed to arrive, I was very happy, the product was in Excellent shape too,! Andy Corona
Rating: - Incredibly funny !
Many of these skits are gay-themed in one way or another--be forewarned if that type of humor offends you. If it doesn't, the entire DVD, with one exception, is a riot. The exception: I found the Canteen Boy/Scoutmaster skit disturbing and creepy and far from funny.
Rating: - Hilarious!
This was great!! I laugh so much every time I see this, it's so funny, I end up in tears! This is a must-have for your DVD collection.
Rating:  - Alec Baldwin / SNL
What's not to like about Alec Baldwin? I hunted this dvd down after seeing a couple of old SNL episodes with him in them, specifically, The French Teacher skit and the cooking show with Pete Schweddy (and his schweddy balls!) Not all the skits are that funny to me, but these two have me laughing to tears, so it's worth it. (I just play the same ones over and over!)
Rating: - As funny as you remember it
Great DVD to add to your probably growing collection of SNL "Best of...". Baldwin is one of the best and funniest guest hosts they ever had - nearly every sketch is a "classic" and as funny as you remember it (think "Pete Schweady").
