			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A bit of spoiler, but I don&#8217;t think I&#8217;m giving too much away. Besides, these days, I think I&#8217;m in the minority of people who watch <em>Saturday Night Live</em> fairly regularly and care about it.</p>

<p>I was very pleasantly surprised by this week&#8217;s episode, which can be summed up by this line.</p>

<blockquote>
  <p>&#8220;Wait a second&#8230; You&#8217;re the frigging Closet Organizer guy, aren&#8217;t you?&#8221;</p>
</blockquote>

<p>I don&#8217;t remember a time when a multi-sketch <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Callback_(comedy)">callback</a> was used on <em>Saturday Night Live</em>. <em>Monty Python&#8217;s Flying Circus</em> had a couple here and there, and HBO&#8217;s <em>Mr. Show</em> had <em>only</em> sketch transitions with callback.</p>

<p>But in Saturday Night Live? Someone comment if they have seen it before. I&#8217;d like to find that episode and watch it.</p>

<p>Callbacks in sketch shows make me enjoy the show all the more. I&#8217;d like to think that more effort was made to ensure that all associated sketches would melt harmoniously into one giant ball of funny. In this instance, Will Forte&#8217;s and Jon Hamm&#8217;s characters reliving the past infomercial sketch, followed by the suggestion to go home and help clean out a closet&#8230; hilarious.</p>

<p>Just wanted to share. Here it is on <a href="http://www.hulu.com/watch/124891/saturday-night-live-jon-hamm">Hulu</a>.</p>
