Just watching this. It's painful...

Not very good at all. SNL has pained me for years generally.

Couldn't get through it, but thanks for posting.

It seems that every time another celebrity does a Jagger impression the mannerisms get more exaggerated and less funny.

Horrid. Those English blokes who travel and eat, them too.
Fallon with Jagger was gold. Rest, give it up. And for the love of God,
no-one play him in a movie. Not even Jimmy Jagger.
Happy Easter.

I agree, it was bad!

But thank you anyway Johnny!!

Gee, never had that happen just watching TV!

The mannerisms and expressions were awful, but wtf was that accent supposed to be? Sid Vicious?

Oh well, Happy Easter, everybody!

"Nice bit of silk, Em."

Never liked his Mick Jagger impersonation over the years and this is no exception.

I recall seeing a photo of Mick wearing a suit like that in '77, so the costume designer was spot on.

And me..............made my broken collar bone seem like a bit of a twinge...........

Perhaps everyone here takes Mick Jagger a bit too seriously? I seem to recall everyone on here giving rave reviews when Mick did his Steven Tyler impersonation on SNL 5 years ago -- though Steven Tyler fans were probably cringing.

I thought it was a clever skit, a time travel edition of Family Feud -- with two different John Revoltings, past and present.

I will say, however, that this was probably the worst Richard Dawson impersonation I've ever seen -- not in the ballpark, not even in the same city as the ballpark.

I get that with Jimmy Fallon, with his "I'm not trying to laugh" laugh.

Jimmy Fallon as Johns Travoltas is good, the rest is cringe-making.

In fairness, it's not a Richard Dawson impersonation; it's Steve Harvey. And, Kenan Thompson as been on SNL long enough that every game show host he plays is really "Kenan Thompson" game show host.

T@3

It was pretty disappointing episode considering the hype of it being broadcast live in all US time zones. I'm not a Jimmy Fallon fan though. The only thing that made me laugh was the return of "Spicey" & that was the weakest of the 3 Spicey skits thus far. Evidently Melissa McCarthy filmed it elsewhere due to schedule conflicts. Still was far above everthing else on the show. She does an amazing job with the portrayal. Concentration clubs indeed!

Steve Harvey, who's that? I'm from the 1970s -- you'll have to translate that one.

Only one Family Feud, only one Richard Dawson;

I had no idea who that was doing the impersonation, but I sure as hell knew who was being impersonated
right from the first glimpse - so something was right about it.
Of course it was over-the-top ridiculous. Wasn't it supposed to be?
I actively dislike Fallon, but having him as two Travoltas was cute
even though the impersonations weren't very good. I especially enjoyed
that he didn't always hunker down low enough to keep us from seeing him
racing from one side to the other.

I am easily amused :E

Couldn't have said it better myself! I thought it was smart of SNL to have Harry play Mick. And isn't it funny how none of these commentators will boo the Liza Minelli impersonation (spot on, IMO) or the Diana Ross one? And the main problem people seem to have on here with the John Travolta impersonation(s) is that they just don't like Travolta to begin with.

Thanx for posting,tho I (like others here)could not watch all of it

Don't know which was worse - Styles impersonating Mick or the first song he performed. Is he like the Justin Bieber of England with lots of teeny bopper fans?
Can't comment on the rest of the show as I turned it off after that.

Mostly agree.
Jagger impersonation was way over the top - and that was obviously intended.

The feature was ....Jimmy Fallon.
who can be talented and annoying / sincere and phony / funny and forced ... all at the same time.
In person, he actually seems pretty humble, imo. At the Exhibitionism opening, while the Rolling Stones snuck in the back door unobserved by those of us waiting for a glimpse of them walking down the pink carpet... Jimmy Fallon obliged the fans across the street who called out his name as he and Lorne Michaels were about to enter the show. He ran across the narrow street and posed for photos with people before coming back across and posing with one or two more people.

Back in the day, when I was working the weekend at 30 Rock, one great fringe benefit was Saturday afternoon around 4pm. When I saw the CCTV setting up on the music stage, that's when it was time for my break. One time, I stood on the floor down in 8H as Beck played. I turned around and noticed that Jimmy Fallon was standing next to me. Dancing, air-guitar, etc - not because he was acting like he was the center of attention or something... He was just real into it.

His trying-not-to-laugh crutch/schtick gets pretty old. I think that not getting down low under the camera shot as he raced back and forth might have been on purpose ... same kind of thing in a way... (Letting the tv audience at home in on the gag that the studio audience was watching.)

ahhh...political? I guess we are never too many steps away but you seem to be going out of your way to make a political point here.

...as far as the impersonation goes, it was pretty awful but it did make me laff, so I guess that's the point. He'll never get the "Jagger" gig in a biopic if they're using that footage for casting mind you. Fallon, for all his faults is a master of impression, he's excellent actually.
