Last night’s SNL premiere saw plenty of Alec Baldwin goodness, including his Rick Perry and Tony Bennett impressions, but the moment you absolutely must know about is the monologue. As you’ve heard over and over for the past week — and as Baldwin made sure to remind us of during the show — with this hosting gig he officially broke Steve Martin’s hosting record of 15 times on the SNL stage. We saw a delightful little exchange when they tied the record, so it was pretty much expected that Martin would show up this time to defend his title.
Of course, Martin is very serious about this record so he brought along some professionals to make sure Baldwin acheived this title legally and without the use of any performance-enhancing drugs, which I’m guessing are a little greener in the comedy world.
