... is Cintra Wilson taking the broadcast too seriously. Lighten up.
I thought Jon did a fine job, but he wasn't his usual hysterical self. His opening monologue was a little too "safe". However, his comments throughout the night were very funny ("I can't wait to see what Steven Spielberg has for us Jews next. Trilogy!" "A montage to montages! Send clips fast, we're running out!"). The problem was the audience. They all looked like they had sticks up their butts and were afraid to laugh lest they be considered "out of touch liberal". Or they just were taking the thing so damn seriously that they couldn't laugh at themselves even a tiny bit. Don't they serve alcohol at that thing?
