Tonight on the Tube: Kidnapped, Candy Convention, Ladies Night Poker and College Football

Have you watched any of the Saturday Night Live shows this season? I haven’t. I have a couple recorded but just never seem to get to them. A friend told me that last week’s was terrible and I shouldn’t even bother. So far I haven’t. But this week the host is Hugh Laurie and I am curious as to what they will have for him. Will they spoof House? What do you think they will try to do with Hugh?
