Saturday Night Live

Tina Fey Justin Bieber On SNL:Watch Saturday Night Live Season 35 Episode 18 Online S35E18 – Saturday Night Live/SNL which was hosted by Tina Fey aired this weekend.
Fey appeared in every single sketch and even sang with musical guest Justin Bieber-just kidding.
And of course she took on her worst enemy Sarah Palin for the good of America. And let us be honest, it is always nice to see Fey or Amy Poehler for that matter back on SNL.


The show opened with a skit where Fred Armisen played Barack Obama and tried to explain the census.
Armisen added his own grain of salt when he talked about some very private matter like sexual habits and turned to those who speak Spanish to ask “Esta aqui ilegalmente?”


The opening monologue was not the best monologue ever but Tina Fey who played “every woman” and thanked all who made her great career possible, did have great moments worth remembering in there-such as:
-”I’m a more a role model for young women than I thought,” but remembered that the girls were there for Justin Bieber.
-Tina sang “I’m Every Woman” while introducing all the people who helped with her busy life on a daily basis: two nannies, some factory workers, New York Jet’s quarterback Mark Sanchez, Steve Martin, Justin Bieber and Chaka Khan (played by Kenan Thompson).

Next came a very nasty/disgusting yet funny fake commercial where Fey landed herself a Duncan Hines’ Brownie Husband, meaning a man entirely made out of chocolate whom she made out with shamelessly.
The Masters: SNL did not miss the opportunity to rip Tiger Woods apart for his latest Nike commercial and for his return at the Masters. Fey played Ashlyn St. Cloud, a Shakers stripper and self described as “Tiger Woods expert” who was willing to share some of Woods little secrets which included:
-”Michael Jordan has the funniest video of him choking me a little bit”
-”Filthy Ambien zombie sex”
-”PS: If Asians and Indians can compete with black people, it’s not a sport.”
But as always, Tina Fey came to the rescue with a hilarious segment called Women’s News which had fantastic jokes like:
-”When your body looks like a dirtbag’s binder from 7th grade metal shop, it doesn’t bode well for your character. For every Sandra Bullock out there, there’s a woman who got a tattoo on her forehead because she ran out of room on her labia. For every Elin Nordegren, there’s a Hooters waitress who spells her name Jamie with two Es’and a star. If Hitler were alive today, even he would be like, “Armer Sandra Bullock, sie sind so liebenswert” (“Poor Sandra Bullock, she is so likable.”)
This is a good show because of the hilarious humor, switching from Obama to Hitler. It covers politics, sports, sex, art, movies, and most current events which are surprisingly funny if you look at it from a comedic viewpoint. The actors on the show are good at improvising and are well equipped to play different roles. That is why the show has been so popular for almost four decades

  2. It would be more interesting if instead of just telling what happened on the show you talked more about the relevancy of SNL in pop culture today.
