Over 20 million people watched last night. It did amazing for NBC.

As someone who hasn't found Saturday Night Live funny in years, this really tickled me. Some bits did fall flat, but most of the night went well with a few homer runs. And man did this special drive home that Bill Murray weathered the storm of old age. While many other seniors comedians and musicians showed their age, Bill still showed he posses a touch for what's funny.

Steve Martin too, his sharpness in the monologue will never get old. MAya Rudolph and short were hilarious too.

Anyone read the story about how Mirphy was suppose to be Cosby in jeopardy, and Brett ratner talked him out of it.

If you get a chance to read Norm Macdonald's tweet story about this, it's well worth the read. Going in depth with some skits they wrote, and detailing why Eddie Murphy declined to be Bill Cosby for Celebrity Jeopardy.

It's more interesting out of norm's perspective. Someone made a good point the other day. Keenan doing it is SNL making fun. Murphy's first appearance in 30 years and all the history of Cosby hating him, would have become a story of its own taking away from the night. Not saying it was such a small joke that I would have loved it, but I understand Murphy's reasoning.

He could have just as easily been Mr. Robinson or appeared in the music segment as little Richard Simmons.
