SNL Scrapped Skit Mocking Obama

Spoofed president's handling of Osama bin Laden anniversary

(NEWSER) - Saturday Night Live opened this weekend with a sketch parodying Fox News (catch highlights here) —but the show had planned a spoof of President Obama, the Daily Caller reports. The ditched sketch featured regular Obama impersonator Fred Armisen taking a lot of credit for the killing of Osama bin Laden. "I hope you had a safe and joyous first anniversary of his killing," Armisen was scripted to say. "Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to be at home this year." More»

SNL Lambastes 'Linsanity'

Maya Rudolph guest hosts; celebrity cameos abound

(NEWSER) - Saturday Night Live pulled out all the stops—and all the bad sports cliches/Asian puns—in mocking the "Linsanity" that's swept New York over Taiwanese-American Knicks sensation Jeremy Lin. "Commentators—two black and two white—use Asian stereotypes when discussing Lin, each more offensive than the last," notes the Hollywood Reporter . "But when one of the white commentators uses an African American stereotype, things get ugly." Other highlights include Amy Poehler teaming with Seth Meyers to tackle this week's birth control brouhaha on "Really?!" and Justin Timberlake spoofing Bon Iver in serenading Blue Ivy Carter—and himself—off to sleep. Fred Armisen also morphed into Barack Obama-Bill Cosby for a spot-on spoof of The Cosby Show. Catch the highlights in the gallery. More»

SNL Comes Up Lame This Primary

This field should be a gift from the comedy gods: Kera Bolonik

(NEWSER) - There was a time when Saturday Night Live could have had great fun with Mitt Romney's proclamation that he "liked to fire people." Instead we got this week's bland cold open (see video) in which Romney tried to (ha ha) fire his breakfast. "It's been that kind of year on Saturday Night Live," writes Kera Bolonik at Salon . "The Republican presidential field is an embarrassment of crazy-train riches. But the writers have been lazily broad-stroking caricatures." More»

SNL's Obama: Nobody Got What They Wanted

Even the congressional interns are peeved over budget deal

(NEWSER) - Fred Armisen's Barack Obama opened Saturday Night Live last night with a summary of the budget deal: "No one got everything he wanted, and everyone walked away unhappy." The unhappiness trickled down to Congress, Congressional cleaning staff and interns, Tea Partiers, Mitt Romney, the New York Times, and kids who are now stuck going on family vacations to national parks, Mediaite reports. Helen Mirren (and her breasts) co-hosted. Catch clips in the gallery. More»

Jim Carrey Goes Old School on SNL

Is that Black Swan or Ace Ventura?

(NEWSER) - Jim Carrey graced Saturday Night Live last night in a black tutu and bearing more than a little resemblance to the physical comedy that defined his early career, notes TV Guide. "Once you go black ... swan, you never go back ... swan," his character warned Bill Hader in a send-up of Black Swan that somehow managed to invoke Ace Ventura. Watch that and other video highlights in the gallery. More»
