The jokes pretty much wrote themselves for Saturday Night Live this week, thanks in no small part to Toronto's crack mayor, Rob Ford. With Bobby Moynihan appearing as the oft-apologizing Hizzoner in a series of press conferences in which he utterly fails in his mea culpas, Ford eventually turns to the lone media outlet who will believe that he's never done drugs: 60 Minutes' Lara Logan, aka Kate McKinnon. Another sketch of note: guest host Lady Gaga, playing a nerdy Apple employee, utterly owns Jay Pharoah's Kanye West and Vanessa Bayer's Kim Kardashian. It's in the gallery.
