First of all, I love the costumes on the band and backup singers – classic SNL.
Plus, I love Katy Perry’s song “Roar.”
So there. Enjoy.
Katy Perry on Saturday Night Live – “Roar”
Miley Cyrus spoofs herself on SNL
Hosting SNL last night, Miley Cyrus took her infamous VMA performance head-on, with her “future” self coming back in time to confront “present” Miley warning her performance would begin the fall of America in the future.
Cyrus also spoofed her hit “We Can’t Stop” with a Republican “party” version called “We Did Stop (The Government)” and with Cyrus playing an out-of-control Michele Bachmann (sans Marcus), partying with House Speaker John Boehner.

Saturday Night Live premiere last night
As we all know, SNL is very hit or miss. And has been for a long time.
Bringing Tina Fey back to start the new season was a good choice, and this parody of the HBO series “Girls” was one of the few “hits” of the night.
Tina Fey plays a “new character” named “Blerta” from Albania in this “teaser” for the new season. It was at least pretty funny.
SNL season finale – Weekend Update “Farewell for Stefon” featuring Anderson Cooper
With castmembers Bill Hader and Seth Meyers leaving the show, Hader’s club-kid “Stefon” married Meyer’s “Weekend Update” host. But first Meyers had to chase Stefon through the streets of New York and prevent him from marrying Anderson Cooper.
Plus, in an effort to help those about to face fabulous gay weddings, there is now “New Xanax for gay summer weddings.”
SNL spoofs Fox & Friends on Jason Collins coming out
SNL mocked Fox News’ attempts to downplay the significance of NBA center Jason Collins’ coming out last night in a FOX & Friends skit that opened the show:
“Can we please stop calling him a hero.”
“Yeah, exactly. Since when does telling your embarrassing personal secrets make you a hero? I prefer Asian ladies. I’m a hero!”
“I use prescription deodorant on my entire body. Give me a medal!”
SNL cold open honors Sandy Hook tragedy: “Silent Night”
“Saturday Night Live” made a rare departure from its comedic opening to pay tribute to the children and adults killed at Sandy Hook elementary school.
Not known for treating anything seriously or tenderly, the show made a fitting exception during the first moments of its show Saturday. Rather than the usual comedic sketch, a children’s choir appeared on camera and angelically sang “Silent Night,” with the touching refrain, “Sleep in heavenly peace.”
Then the members of the New York City Children’s Chorus shouted out the NBC show’s time-honored introduction: “Live from New York, it’s `Saturday Night!'”
It was the night’s sole reference to the tragedy and struck just the right tone.
SNL: Presidential Debate #2
Make sure you get to the 10:15 mark.
SNL loves election years…
Funny: Politics Nation on SNL
I watch Chris Matthews on HARDBALL every day on MSNBC. While I respect the Rev. Al Sharpton, I don’t watch his show – Politics Nation – that often. I know he has a healthy sense of humor though, so he probably thinks this is funny, too.
SNL skit: Jesus to Tim Tebow – “Take it down a notch”
Funny: Michael Buble “Duets” on SNL
And btw, Buble’s Christmas CD is terrific.
