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.

It's gotten to the point where I don't recognize half the SNL cast members now. It feels like I'm watching SNL in an alternate dimension, or MadTV at the very least.

MadTV got cancelled.

Not that there's much difference between it and SNL for the last, oh, fifteen years.

MadTV cancelled? Okay, now I'm so far out of the loop I think it's on the other side of the planet.

Not that I actively watched it once Alex Borstein left to do Family Guy. The first time around.
