A crowd of out-of-towners doesn't quite enjoy their hotel's musical entertainment, "A Taste of New York."
I don't know. I didn't get into this one. Fred and Kristen almost take turns doing these nightshow characters with weird music (my favorite was Kristen Wiig with Jon Hamm), and this one is merely amusing. Jim, Fred, and Kristen (no names for these characters?) come out and sing authentic New York songs that aren't very exciting (and seem to be from the perspective of the homeless or drug-addicted). Amusing, and the audience sells it well with facial expressions. But I would have preferred ending with the Amusement Park sketch.
Andy plays one of the visitors who doesn't get the music he was hoping for. I think Andy plays a great frustrated straight man here!
What do you think?
Enjoy!
