'Saturday Night Live' – Christoph Waltz and Alabama Shakes

'Saturday Night Live' was not a great show. Was the Christopher Waltz a savior? May be not because he isn't talented but lots of people enjoyed the show.Those reading this recap will probably know of his recent roles in “Inglorious Basterds” and “Django Unchained”, but the average viewer more familiar with the oeuvre of last week’s host Justin Bieber? Hard to say.


Then again, the idea of choosing a host based on skill rather than fame is one I applaud. In every major role in an American film (yes, even including “The Green Hornet”), Waltz has brought a comedic edge to his intense performances.
