Here’s the deal: I think Britney did a pretty good job on How I Met Your Mother last night. She looked good, she seemd uncrazy, and she delivered her lines without stuttering or going cross-eyed. I’ve read elsewhere that this was seen less as a stunt and more of damage control. I think that’s probably true.

As I watched last night, I kept looking over at my husband excitedly each time Britney spoke. I was just so happy that she pulled herself together long enough to pull this off. Because deep down, I want her to have a comeback. I am pulling for Britney Spears — and I think this is a solid step.

THAT SAID, I must say, she fell short of an A. I can only give her the B+. Here’s why: I think you get really good insight into someone’s true acting/performing talent by watching them host Saturday Night Live. You can see who is comfortable, who isn’t, who has innate good timing, who can be silly, etc.  And I thought Britney was exellent when she hosted.  And I thought her performance last night, while solid, wasn’t on par to her SNL gig.

Finally, I felt the show was strong overall. With a bunch new people watching, it had an opportunity to grab some news fans. And I’m sure it succeeded.

P.S. HOW FUNNY IS SARAH CHALKE? New girl crush for sure.
