I haven't seen a more stilted opener since Britney Spears fatefully took to the stage for the MTV awards with Gimme More. Having Neil Patrick Harris there for comparison almost seemed cruel. Maybe it was the wrong venue for the Steve/Alec combo, but somehow all the natural chemistry they should have had with each other was sucked right out of them. So many of the jokes also felt incredibly old, and there was a massive agent in-joke which only really played to the people in the room. I imagine the general goodwill towards the pair carried them through. Between them they've worked with almost everyone. Thank god Ben Stiller, Tina Fey and Robert Downey Jr were on hand to swoop in and actually be funny. Got to say Steve Martin and Alec Baldwin were a massive let down.
