Rating:  - Unbelievably Funny!
There are so many hillarious sketches here and they are a testament to the range of this extraordinary actor. Almost every sketch is superb; the funniest of them, for me, was the Tony Bennett Show piece. I have shared it with several friends and all have been similarly blown away by how brilliant his performance is. I could watch an hour of Baldwin being Bennett...it just works!
Rating:  - I Like Things That Are Greeeeeeat!!
4.5 stars
This is worth it just to watch Baldwin as Tony Bennett singing I Like Things That Are Great. I've seen it a dozen times and it just keeps getting better. Baldwin gets deeper into his characters than most hosts (he is indeed a good actor), and tends to rely less on cue cards than even much of the cast, which lets him really be the character (hello, cast of snl: learn a line or two; you've only got a few dozen a week!). Best of all, Baldwin is always willing to laugh at himself and his public personas, and goes the extra mile to get the laugh most every time.
Schwetty Balls is still funny, as is Greenhilly (Jan Hooks shines here, as does Hartman, as always), and the Pesci skit has some nice bits. Not all of this dvd is great, but most of it is. Interesting that Baldwin did so many poofy characters, and they're all pretty funny. Canteen Boy is almost too much, but Sandler somehow keeps it light.
I hope Baldwin rolls with the answering machine scandal; still waiting for it to come up next time he hosts. That would be ballsy.
Rating: - Saturday Night Live - Alec Baldwin
This DVD is HILARIOUS with the Canteen Boy skit, and the skit where Alec Baldwin is Charles Nelson Riley is priceless and there are so many more.
This is a must own DVD. You will not be disappointed.
Rating: - Hate his politics, but the man is talented
Really funny skits that are not dated, as many SNL skits become. A. Baldwin is a truly talented man.
Rating: - The Unofficial Cast Member
This was hilarious. I enjoyed every sketch. Truly, Alec Baldwin is an unofficial cast member.
