Highlights: Ambigously Gay Duo, What’s up with That?(which I LOVE), Garth&Kat. This past weekend, SNL s classic animated characters, THE AMBIGUOUSLY GAY DUO received live action treatment, I was watching it on TV and was completely surprised by creator Robert Smigel cast as Ace and Gary.
If you watched the show a little bit more than a season, you’d know that they have episodes that barely have a laugh, and episodes that make you breathless from laughing.

And plus it’s a live show, that doesn’t even pick out their sketches they will be doing until Friday to even minutes before the show. Now of course that’s just all my opinion, but I think it’s fact that theirs still a huge fanbase for the show, considering it’s still on air. And Garth&Kat? An amazing use of improv on TV that is horribly lacking in good improv. Do obviously there will be sketches that make certain people laugh, and others laugh. They’ve constantly had actors who can make the 45-60 group laugh, and they always have a large group that attracts 25-45, and I can’t think of a season that didn’t have 1or 2 people who young people laugh at. How can you say that SNL is “bland” and not funny? Granted they might have sketches that don’t work, but they have at least 2 sketches a week that will make someone laugh, and they’ve done that for 36 years and counting. What did you think of this week’s episode? Could you believe the real Lindsey Buckingham (and Chris Colfer, oddly) showed up for “What Up With That”? Were you angry that the “Corn Syrup Producers of America” short - a rerun - was replayed so early in the episode? Were Paul Simon’s musical performances the night’s best moments? Sound off below, follow me on Twitter at and read me regularly at ! Ed Helms’ one moment to hog the camera (besides his equally drippy monologue) was a flat commentary on the G.O.P.’s chances next year. Have you heard that Republicans hoping to compete against Obama in 2012 are mostly white males between the ages of 45-60? Good. We all saw Bridesmaids this weekend, right? Because we’re great people who love all-lady ensembles and the vaudevillian prowess of Kristen Wiig and Maya Rudolph (not to mention the Damages-grade ferocity of Rose Byrne)? Wiig’s spirited thrusting and jiving as ’60s sexpot Ann-Margret topped off a night of tepid sketches with a surprise blip of greatness, proving that every so often, SNL can overcome its bland reputation and show off a little carnal knowledge. This episode goes live-action with Steve Carell, Jon Hamm, Jimmy Fallon. The script was written and presented to Carrey, but it didn't wind up going anywhere.SNL‘s Final 2 Shows Cancelled - Here’s Who Would’ve Hostedīest: Ann-Margret Tries to Throw Away a Wad of Paper in a Trashcan latest episode of The Ambiguously Gay Duo from this weeks Saturday Night Live. Getting the interest of someone as popular as Jim Carrey was enough to get Universal to commission a script from Robert Smigel - who enlisted screenplay help from Stephen Colbert (who was the voice of Ace to Carell's Gary in the animated shorts). Apparently, Carell told his co-star that he had previously voiced Gary in the animated superhero shorts, and Carrey sparked to the idea of them starring together in a feature film.
About three years later, the idea came up again when Jim Carrey and Steve Carell were working together on the film Bruce Almighty. Weirdly, though, that wasn't the end of the Ambiguously Gay Duo's attempts to make it into live action adaptation. Because the Ambiguously Gay Duo shorts originally aired on The Dana Carvey Show, Universal Pictures held the rights, and that created difficulties with Paramount Pictures - which produced SNL Films at the time. Best: The Ambiguously Gay Duo Ace and Gary, the animated twosome with enough questionable affection to light up a superhero-themed discotheque, haven’t graced our screen in years. Unfortunately, this iteration of the project wound up getting killed due an issue surrounding the ownership of the characters. The concept of an animated AGD film came up, and while the creator originally rejected the idea, his tune changed when he began thinking about the potential for a live-action adaptation - specifically one starring Alec Baldwin and Jimmy Fallon.

According to the comedian, the original idea of an Ambiguously Gay Duo movie actually came up all the way back in 2000 when Smigel's animated shorts were still showing on SNL. This interesting bit of trivia comes our way thanks to Entertainment Weekly, who got the story out of Robert Smigel himself.
