I thought the funniest part was when Fred/Prince did an imitation of Deniro's characetr from, "The Taxi Driver". Fred in Prince's shy, soft-spoken way said, "you talkin to me?","you talkin to me?" that by far got the biggest laugh. Just the thought of Prince doing an imitation of anybody is funny. Fred was right on. I like the wonder mask too. I give Fred an "A" for effort.

Phil Lamar is definitely the best Prince I have seen. There was one episode when they did a parody Prince video. It was too funny and one where they spoofed The Prince Of Egypt with Prince

I've seen Eddie Griffin imitate Prince in his stand-up. He was good, especially how Prince points his index finger to all 3 side of the audience, like in his "Live 4 Love" performance

After those two I would say Fred comes next just because of his references that only fans would know

I don'y remember Jamie's. I'll have to find that

Dave's skit was ridiculously funny on soo many levels. The story itself (without a skit) is funny and the way it was reinacted was comical. That whole skit was enjoyable, but not because Dave imitated Prince so perfectly. It was the whole package.

I love the Prince Show skit on SNL. I think their hilarious and Fred Armisen does a great Prince impersonation. Sometimes I even sing the theme song because it's kind of funky.

I was at the Holiday Inn across from the Stapes Center the night of the Grammys. My aunt won tickets and tokk her daughter to the show.

I was in the hotel room with my family about to fall asleep when I heard the first chords of "Purple Rain" being played and I opened my eyes and saw Prince onstage! I couldn't believe it, he was opening the Grammys! Prince!

As a Prince fan I never thought he would ever come back out in the mainstream public eye. After that night he was everywhere. I'm glad I became a true Prince fan couple years back with TRC 'cause it was fun listening to something not everyone was listening to.

I missed The recent "Prince Show" on SNL, but I do remember Eddie Griffin's Prince on Malcolm and Eddie. He had Prince down pat! I think Griffin's
Prince was better than Fred A., Jamie Foxx and Dave Chappelle all rolled into one!

I was wondering why she could not play herself, odd?

I like it but it's becoming the same skit over and over. The first guest is a big star that has to pretend they are doing something and then the second guest has some kind of reaction over what Prince sees in the wonder mask (and at least twice it has been Keenan playing an overweight African American celebrity). That's by fair SNL's biggest weakness now. All the skits of known characters just repeat themseleves.

Fred Armisen seems to be a pretty good musician. To play timbales??? VERY COOL. I looked him up and it seems he is part Venezuelan and part Japanese. Very much a Prince fan.

"Can joo fill it? Can joo fiilll it?": Fericito who is always "just kidding!"--ayy Dios mio!

I'd love to see Fred play with Sheila E. Now *that* would be interesting...
