Haywood Jablome, everyone’s favorite pseudonym, is back and having some fun with a local newspaper in Fargo. If only we could be there to hear the reporter take down their names for the caption.

“So it’s Gene Masseth… and, I’m sorry, I didn’t catch your name. You, who said something about a sphincter saying what.” “Hey wouldya blow me.” “That’s ‘Jablome’ with a ‘J’, right?”

High hopes for James Franco on ‘SNL’ – Entertainment Weekly

James Franco returns to SNL this week for the last show of 2009, and despite the rocky season, I’m optimistic: Franco has hosted before and done a solid job, plus he’s a naturally funny dude whose comedic style and sensibility lean toward goofy and Internet-friendly, which is SNL’s jam.
