He yodels! He jumps around to music!

Not sure why I didn't see this one go round the first time out, but here's a (really really crummy watermarked version; sorry, couldn't find the clip anywhere else w/o resorting to Hulu) clip of Joseph Gordon-Levitt's recent appearance on Saturday Night Live where, for his monologue, he performs Make 'Em Laugh from Singin' in the Rain.

Did I mention he gives it the full-on Donald O'Connor treatment?

Yes, with that part.
Oh and yes, with that part too.

And you can tell he is about the happiest fella ever by the end of the number. As well as the most exhausted. Given the nature of live TV and the backstage hustling, I sure hope he had a few moments to catch his breath before his next sketch.

I was surprised at how good that was. I assumed he'd do the bit at the end. I was missing the sofa, tho.

I keep expecting him to look just the same as he did in "10 things I hate about you" so it's like seeing someone who looks kinda familiar but you can't place them.

Reminds me I still haven't seen "Brick" yet either.

I had the same reaction to his appearance; then I did the math and remembered that 10TIHAY was a decade ago! Yikes.
