As a way to address this past Friday's unfortunate tragedy in Newtown, CT, 'Saturday Night Live' opened their most recent episode -- hosted by alum Martin Short -- with a heartfelt performance of the Christmas classic, 'Silent Night.'
The high point of last night's episode of 'Saturday Night Live' (with guest host Jamie Foxx) was probably the Academy Award winner's portrayal of the not-so-popuar Hostess snack, Ding Dong.
Poking fun at the fact that America can't look at writer/director/producer/arrogant-individual Tyler Perry without seeing the 6'5" grandmother that made him famous, last night's 'Saturday Night Live' spoofed his recent foray into drama.
Occasionally 'Saturday Night Live' offers up a sketch that isn't only clever in its dialogue but also in it's absurdity. Good example: last night's 'Dylan McDermott or Dermot Mulroney' skit, in which three guests — who refused to be introduced — appear on a game show in order to dechiper which actor is which.
Though Jeremy Renner's turn hosting 'SNL' this past weekend may have felt somewhat uneven, many would argue that the normally-stoic 'Avengers' star still did a better job than other hosts unprepared for sketch comedy, like Daniel Craig, or even to a degree Louis C.K. And while Renner wasn't present for the Guy Fieri deleted scene that exploded in popularity yesterday, another 'SNL' deleted scene is making the rounds that might have seen Renner at his best! Check out what didn't make the cut!
It appears that not only is this ever-widening General Petraeus scandal rocking the US military, it's also causing quite a stir in the 'Saturday Night Live' writers room: last night's episode (with host Jeremy Renner) contained several sketches lampooning the General's situation.
'The Bourne Legacy' star Jeremy Renner stopped by 'Saturday Night Live' last night to play the admittedly foreign role of comedy host. During one of the sketches, the crew decided to poke fun at another blockbuster Renner starred in this year: 'The Avengers.' Reprising his role of Hawkeye, Renner happily played into the joke that his character was arguably less useful than the others, given his lack of 'super' status.
Jeremy Renner caps off his big 2012 -- in which he starred in blockbusters 'The Bourne Legacy' and 'The Avengers' -- by hosting 'Saturday Night Live' this weekend.
