In yesterday’s roundup of just the funny parts of SNL‘s blockbuster (ratings-wise) 2008 premiere Saturday night, I neglected to mention one very important funny part: Fred Armisen as Nicholas Fehn the political comedian on Weekend Update:

Here Armisen breaks a cardinal, set-in-stone SNL rule by being a guest of Weekend Update who is actually funny. His Fehn character reminds me a little of comedian Andy Daly, in an homage-y type way. It seems like if you enjoyed the Norm MacDonald set of the Bob Saget roast, you’ll like this too.

    It was funny, but only once. Twice tops. Doing the exact same bit five times though? Nope. SNL would be better if they stopped rehashing everything.

    I loved this the first time, but it’s been diminishing returns with each reappearance. Still, as far as I’m concerned the more face time Armisen gets on the show the better. (Ditto Wiiiiig.)
