Columbia's new mascot James Franco hosted Saturday Night Live last night, and as many of you have told us, his opening monologue was all about life as a celebrity at Columbia.

Bwog's been searching for this video online, but thus far we've been unable to find it. Still, here's what we know: Franco was greeted by his RA (Jason Sudeikis) who sympathized with Franco about being a celebrity on campus. Apparently the RA is in the Funk Tones, "Columbia's most popular non-tryout, non-lesbian a cappella group," and can't walk into Cafe 212 without being lavishly praised for his beat boxing skills.

There was also something about Franco's CUID. Again, we're trying to find this thing online, so if you know where it is, let us know too. (bwog@columbia.edu).


It's time to further explore the exciting world of Web Series. Your tour guide today -- as always -- is Bwog Television Critic Rob Trump. For even more of Trump's musings, direct your attention to his blog, which has been added to our blogroll for your convenience.

If you like to keep up on your Saturday Night Live news, you'll be happy to know that fantastic New York stand-up comedian John Mulaney has been hired as a writer (as well as UCBT vet Bobby Moynihan as an actor) for the upcoming season. Besides getting me really excited for this year of the show -- Mulaney is seriously hilarious, see him live if you can -- that makes now a good time to muse on the subsequent careers of SNL non-cast writers, a legacy far less-examined than that of the performers. Because while a handful of them have gone on to more visible careers , they're much more likely to end up writing for a sitcom or late night show and remain as invisible to you as they've always been.
