Maybe this is what "Studio 60" needs

A good fart joke!

OK, maybe I'm just pathetically lowbrow. But on last night's "SNL," the paranormal investigator sketch, featuring Hugh Laurie and a suspicious bit of hot air, made me giggle more than anything else on the show.

If there's one thing I've discovered this TV season, it's that sketch comedy is probably a lot harder to write than it looks. Then again, as Mel Brooks showed us long ago, some things are universally funny.
