Live from New York, but not on TV

Consider us jealous: There was a new episode of "Saturday Night Live" over the weekend, but due to the ongoing Writers Guild of America strike the show is, ya know, not on TV, so we didn't get to see it. Instead, in a tiny Manhattan theater, an audience of about 150 people got to see the Michael Cera ("Superbad," the upcoming "Juno") host the show, with Yo La Tengo serving as the musical guest.

Normally, the show only consists of seven sketches, but Saturday night's "Saturday Night Live -- On Strike" at the Upright Citizens Bridge Theatre featured 15 and lasted about two hours -- and no commercials!

So did you watch the rerun this weekend? Do you even care about the writer's strike?
