Justin Bieber does "The Miley Cyrus Show" on SNL - 2013
Pop singer Justin Bieber tried out his comedy skills on Saturday Night Live last night (2/9/13).
Bieber was not only the musical guest but also participated in several of the skits including “The Californians", The Miley Cyrus Show, and a funny Valentine's Day sketch.
Bieber’s opening monolog was pretty funny. It showed him looking for his next girlfriend in the audience while handing out roses and facts about February’s Black History Month… kind of.

Justin Bieber stopped by the NBC studios of Jimmy Fallon on Tuesday night to talk about his new “Believe Acoustic” album.
Well, he didn’t really “stop by” seeing as he was already just a few floors away working on this weekend’s gig as host and musical guest on “Saturday Night Live”.

Jimmy and Bieber talked about riding horses and the fact that all his friends have “Lil” or “Big” in front of their names...
Bieber also talked about his white Ferrari car and the ongoing problem he has with the police pulling him over all the time!
But the ONE thing the did not talk about was Justin's pot smoking problems...
After wrapping up the interview with Jimmy about his new album the two played a strange game of basketball were Bieber French kissed a mannequin head before tossing it into the basket…
Justin Bieber to Host Saturday Night Live February 9, 2013
Good news Justin Bieber fans!
NBC has announced that pop sensation Justin Bieber will be the host and musical guest on their comedy sketch show “Saturday Night Live” set to air on February 7, 2013.
Insiders say that producer Lorne Michaels and Bieber have already talked at length about the show, and Bieber has said “nothing is off limits” including Justin’s recent run in with paparazzi and his pot smoking scandal.
Justin Bieber appears on Saturday Night Live 5/12/12
Justin Bieber made a surprise appearance on Saturday Night Live last night for the May 12th episode to take part in the celebration of SNL’s 100th Digital Short.
Bieber in SNL Digital Short
In was an epic video that included cast members from previous shorts, as well as host Will Ferrell, Justin Timberlake, Andy Samberg, Usher, and of course Justin Bieber!
Now, the idea behind the video is a bit crude so we’re not going to spoil the plot…. But let’s just say… it’s kind of over the top – even for Justin Bieber!
Watch Justin Bieber on SNL’s 100th Digital Short
See? What did I tell you… But now that Justin is 18 we figure he is free to do this kind of comedy now and then.
Last night's SNL was hosted by Will Ferrell and the musical guest was Usher. Maybe the Bieber / Usher friendship is how Justin ended up in the video.
It was good to see Bieber smile and have fun as it seems like over the last six months he’s barley cracked a smile while he gets his hip hop thug phase behind him.
The amazing British boy band “One Direction” finally made their U.S. television debut Saturday night when they appeared as the musical guest on NBC’s “Saturday Night Live”.
The show was hosted by “Modern Family” actress Sofia Vergara, and not only did One Direction perform two songs but they also appeared in one of the comedy sketches.
One Direction members Niall Horan, Zayn Malik, Liam Payne, Harry Styles and Louis Tomlinson performed “That’s What Makes You Beautiful” and “One Thing”.

The guys also joined together in a comedy sketch called “The Manuel Ortiz Show” - a strange but funny take on late night talk shows in other countries. One Direction is seen toward the end of the sketch (you might want to fast forward) in full comedy makeup and acting goofy.
The boys also made another debut Saturday night when they appeared on the popular "iCarly" TV show. Not only did they perform on the show but they had to memorize tones of dialog and were in almost every scene.
"Having One Direction on set was really cool, we didn't really know what to expect from them, because we had heard that they didn't really have any acting experience because they have a lot of lines and are almost in every scene. So we were uncertain as to how well the shooting would go. But we were all very pleasantly surprised they did very, very well, especially Harry, because he had to pretend to be sick the whole time. ... It was cool, just seeing the five of us mesh with the five of them."
Well, now that the boys have been introduced to U.S. TV viewers we suspect their fame will only continue to skyrocket!
Justin Bieber visits with Wayne and Garth from SNL
A lot of celebrities who host SNL say it is the apex of their career - and it signifies the top of their game and popularity.
So when news broke that Justin Bieber is on deck to host Saturday Night Live during 2012 we had to wonder… will he be a good host? Can he bring the funny?
And we think the answer is a resounding YES!
In fact, Bieber has already proved he can be funny. Just ask Tina Fey from when she hosted SNL a while back and did a couple of funny sketches with Bieber.
See? We think he has the funny – and that sketch was from when Justin was only the musical guest for the night!
Bieber has also done funny parodies with Jimmy Fallen as well. Remember the “Someday” commercial parody?
Bieber DOES have a sense of humor - and he can be funny when he wants to.
In fact, we think Bieber would be an excellent host for SNL and we will definitely watch it.
Head Honcho Lorne Michaels and mega host Alec Baldwin say that not only will Bieber host during 2012 but he will ALSO be the night’s musical guest,
“The biggest names in the business are coming here thirty-something years after SNL's debut to host the show. Ben Stiller, Melissa McCarthy, who won the Emmy award, and Katy Perry’s coming and Jimmy Fallon, who’s double-dipping on your payroll, Jonah Hill, and I don’t want to ruin any other names, but Justin Bieber’s confirmed, he’s the musical guest and the host.”
This could be good. We see possible sketches about the pregnant mom and baby scare, Belieber problems, Selena problems, tattoo overload, and others.
It almost seems endless!
Kudos Justin. A hosting gig on Saturday Night Live is well deserved and we’re sure you’ll do great!
In light of Alec Baldwin’s recent ejection from an American Airline flight for causing a disturbance, he took to SNL over the weekend to declare himself a National Treasure.
Baldwin was removed from the flight for refusing to turn off his phone while playing the game “Words with friends”.
The timing was perfect - and Baldwin, no stranger to Saturday Night Live, took to the Weekend Update desk alongside Seth Meyers to parody his problems.
Kind of cool that within 24 hours of the incident Baldwin could call in a favor from Lorne Michaels and be on SNL for a comedy spot.
We all laughed at Justin Timberlake and Andy Samberg last week on Saturday Night Live.
But there was one sketch that never saw the light of day.
During a dress rehearsal for a “Mozart” sketch, in front of an audience of 300, Timberlake took a few shots at teen sensation Justin Bieber.
The plot of the skit was that Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was going to take a break from his music career to become an actor. His friends scoffed at the idea asking,
“You’re nor one of those musicians who think they can act are you?”
After mentioning that he had already been in a movie about a “Social Network” and appeared on the “Austrian Mouse Club”, his friends told him they would rather go to work for “Wolfgang Amadeus Bieber”.
At this point, Timberlake says,
“Amadeus Bieber? You might as well put a wig on a chipmunk and tell him to act like a black man.”
The audience erupted in laughs.
The jabs seem to be aimed at Bieber’s guest role on the popular “CSI” crime show where the singer was ultimately gunned down, and his concert movie “Never Say Never” that Justin said would not be a concert movie….. but was.
But we think Bieber could have taken the jabs, as he himself has hosted and performed on the show several times.
We suspect the skit was pulled at the last minute in order to stop the media outcry for using the word “black man”.
Saturday Night Live returned from vacation last night with host Tina Fey.
While most of the sketches were not the funniest we’ve ever seen, one stood out as hilarious.
Michael Bolton made a special guest appearance in Andy Samberg’s SNL Digital Short where the group was working on a music video with Bolton.
After arriving late to the shoot because he was busy watching a Pirates of the Caribbean marathon, Bolton told the guys he had a great idea for their music video.
In true Jack Sparrow form, Bolton spun a web of “Pirates” parody throughout.
SNL returned last night with its first new show of the season, and it was … just okay.
You just knew that with the death of Osama Bin Laden, and the blabbering mouth of Donald Trump in the news, that there would be some golden nuggets of comedy.
But there really wasn’t.
A pregnant Tina Fey hosted with musical guest Ellie Goulding, and things got off to a mild start with a cold open parody of Osama Bin Laden reading his last will and testament. Watch Osama Bin Laden Read his Will on SNL
The best part of the evening was Tina Fey’s return as Sarah Palin during a sketch about the 2012 Undeclared Candidates GOP Debate. Palin appreciated FOX News hosting the debate since the both paid her and showed her the all the questions ahead of time.
The debate also featured big mouth and bad haired Donald Trump and was the best sketch of the night.
Watch Tina Fey’s Sarah Palin and Donald Trump on SNL Debate
I have to say, Saturday Night Live has really lost their edge over the last ten years. They seem to get so close to greatness but always fall flat.
Between the death of Osama Bin Laden and Donald Trump running his mouth, there were so many fantastic opportunities for some great cutting edge comedy that 90 minutes should not have been enough time to cover it all.
Take the Osama reading his will sketch – writers really had time to make it epic but it just never pulled the laughs. It’s almost like if they get the set, costume, and impersonation down then whatever they say is funny.
And then there was the musical guest Ellie Goulding. She covered Elton Johns “Your Song” and was quite uninspiring. Maybe it’s her voice or the fact that she stood perfectly still during her performances.
If this was American Idol, Ellie Goulding never would have made it through the initial screening. She was bad.
Saturday Night Live has fallen flat and last night was no exception. So many great possibilities but so many lame jokes and sketched.
Weekend Update used to be parody about the week’s top news, but today it’s just a chance to profile weird characters that have nothing to do with the day’s current events. Loose the characters and get back to your roots of spoofing the news.
Sorry Lorne Michaels, but I’m glad I have a DVR.
But maybe I have just fallen out of the shows demographic. I like saying that rather then I’m getting old.
Saturday Night Live scored big last night with guest host Miley Cyrus, in what may go down as one of best shows of the year.
After a good opening monologue where Cyrus belted out a song about how she hit the bong and wasn’t perfect, she partnered with SNL cast member Vanessa Bayer for the “Miley Cyrus Show”.
Bayer did a spot-on impression of Miley, and welcomed her first guest – Justin Bieber, played by Cyrus. It was great.
Miley, as Justin Bieber, parodied Bieber’s hair flip, wink, swag, dress, and finger pointing routines. Cyrus also tells Bieber that she had smoked salvia and he (she) says there isn’t anything wrong with it because it’s legal.
Ben Affleck visited his friends at Saturday Night Live last night, and in addition to a killer open with John McCain and Tina Fey as Sarah Palin, managed to pull of a great Keith Olbermann skit.
Affleck lambasted current president George Bush for being a racist and bigot, and did a spoof of Olbermann's "Worst Person In The World" segment.
In his "Special Comment" section, Affleck goes after the coop manager of his apartment complex, after he is evicted for having a pet in a no pet apartment.
The result was controversial, with the host going off on Japanese internment camps, equal rights, justice, and fairness.
John McCain visited the set of Saturday Night Live last night for a last ditch effort to connect with voters.
Now famous Tina Fey, acting as Alaskan governor Sarah Palin, joined the candidate in one of the funniest opening skits ever.
The sketch, a jab at the thirty-minute infomercial Barack Obama purchased last week, was intended to give the candidates some final remarks on the campaign. Unfortunately, the only airtime they could afford was on the QVC shopping network.
While the two gave their final wisdom, they also hawked Joe the plumber dolls, and Obama town hall commemorative plates - that were blank. The best product was a set of "Pork Knives" guaranteed to cut the pork from anything.
There was also a cameo by McCain's wife Cindy, who introduced expensive QVC jewelry. Sarah Palin (Tina Fey) also went rouge when she tried to sell Palin In 2012 shirts.
Also, on the Weekend Update section, McCain explained his last ditch efforts and "Radical Ideas" he may use if things don't go his way.
Later in the show, Affleck mocked Keith Olbermann in a controversial segment that drew grasps from the audience.
Lorne Michaels and the gang at Saturday Night Live once again put together a Thursday Night mini-version that nailed it.
The opening sketch included a visit from our friend Tina Fey as Sarah Palin, and a surprise visit by ex SNL veteran Will Ferrell as George W. Bush.
The president used a prime time television appearance to publicly give the republican presidential ticket his person endorsement. It was a classic, and good to see Ferrell back in the role of Bush.
The weekend update portion once again featured financial consultant Oscar Rodgers giving his now famous advice on the worldwide financial crisis - FIX IT! And Fred Armisen had fun playing with his new mega pixel touch screen election map.
After last Saturdays disappointing showing it was good to see things back on track. However, the Adam Samberg digital short - while funny, grew old after the fifth time he threw up on a stranger. Puke and comedy can only go so far together.
Mark Wahlberg visited the set of Saturday Night Live last night to settle the score with Andy Samberg. Last week, Samberg made fun of Wahlberg in a sketch called "Mark Wahlberg Talks With Animals".
Last night, Mark confronted Samberg backstage to settle the score.
The show was hosted by Josh Brolin who is currently appearing in the Oliver Stone film "W". Tina Fey joined to lampoon Alaskan Governor and Vice President candidate Sarah Palin, and Alec Baldwin made a special guest appearance to kick things off.
You have to believe that Lorne Michaels is loving this last few weeks, as Fey had left the show last year to focus on her own television show "30 Rock". It's nice to see her visit her old stomping grounds to help a guy out when he needs it.
Alaskan governor and VP presidential candidate Sarah Palin made history Saturday night.
She made a special guest appearance on the long running hit sketch comedy show "Saturday Night Live" on October 18.
In what can only be a result of the recent Tina Fey impersonations, and continual campaign gaffs, Palin took the opportunity to lampoon her shortcomings, and show the country she has a sense of humor.
Joined by Fey and Alec Baldwin, the two lampooned a Palin press conference. But SNL really missed an opportunity here, we thought the skit was somewhat lame and still think they should have done a "30 Rock" parody with Palin playing Fey's role - especially since they had Alec Baldwin there.
Where is Joe the plumber and Katie Couric when you need them? At least Mark Wahlberg stopped by to set the record straight with Andy Samberg about his "talking to animals" problem.
Tina Fey tells David Letterman that this whole Sarah Palin thing "Is the strangest thing that ever happened to me".
Fey told Dave how the Palin impersonation came about and how she ended up on Saturday Night Live. "You drop the G's and use a lot of R's and add a little Reese Witherspoon. Fey says Palin got "Lost in the corn maze…" during the Katie Couric interview.
Fey does not believe that her skits are helping or hurting the election process, but that some people think it is a bit racist. Tina also shared with Letterman that it was Palin who contacted SNL in an attempt to book a guest appearance. That show is scheduled to air tonight.
Tina Falin, the new nickname given to Fey by friends, has also just started her new season on "30 Rock". She has announced an all-star group of friends and celebrities she has booked for the new season including Oprah and Steve Martin.
Alaskan governor and vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin will make a guest appearance on this week's "Saturday Night Live" - the sketch show helmed by Lorne Michaels that has been featuring a parody of the governor by former cast member Tina Fey.
Palin will appear this Saturday night along with host Josh Brolin, who plays President George Bush in Oliver Stone's new movie, "W."
With less then 20 days left in the campaign, it has been rumored that Palin would make an appearance on either the Saturday night, or Thursday night mini version of the show. Some speculate that Palin will impersonate Tina Fey and her character from the smash hit sitcom "30 Rock", and that long time SNL veteran host Alec Baldwin will make a cameo.
Fey has been pulling double duty this last month with her work on "30 Rock", as well as visiting her old stomping grounds to impersonate Palin on SNL. On top of that, Fey is also writing a new musical comedy film titled "Curly Oxide and Vic Thrill", due in theaters next year, about an eccentric punk-rocker who forms a band with a unruly young Hasidic Jew.
On top of that she has just finished work on the Rickey Gervais comedy "This Side Of Truth", with Fey, Gervais, Jonah Hill, Jennifer Garner, Jason Bateman, Patrick Stewart, Rob Lowe and Jeffrey Tambor - a comedy set in a world where no one has ever lied, until a writer seizes the opportunity for personal gain.
And just in case she needs work next year, Fey is rumored to be starring alongside Robert Downey Jr. in the animated family movie "Master Mind", a satirical take on superhero movies in which a notorious villain loses his vigor after he accidentally kills his nemesis. _
SNL nailed it again with their Thursday Night Live mini-episode. And we learned more about the infamous "Joe the plumber" than we ever wanted to know.
Following SNL tradition, the show started with a skit about the third Presidential debate between John McCain and Barack Obama. Most of the debate however, revolved around the much talked about "Joe the plumber", and his magical plunger - a reference to a citizen Obama talked about at a rally speech last week.
When asked about their cabinet staff appointments, McCain mentioned he would start an executive level office of plumbing and hire, you guessed it - Joe the plumber.
The weekend update section featured a new sketch called "We Liked It", where Seth Meyers and Amy Poehler talked about the good aspects of the debate. There was also a visit from the McCain rally crazy lady, Jessie Jackson and a spoof about McCain running advertisement inside MRI machines.
The show was another winner, but leaves little time for the much anticipated guest appearance of real life Sarah Palin. It is rumored we will see her this Saturday.
Now that Tina Fey has jump-started the SNL fury with her impersonation of Alaskan Governor Sarah Palin, it seems natural the Palin would want to return the favor by making an appearance. Right?
The rumor mill is running wild with speculation that Palin will make a guest appearance either on the normal Saturday night version, or one of the Thursday Night Live mini-episodes.
Both Lorne Michaels and Seth Meyers have confirmed that Tina Fey will again return in a guest role to parody the Presidential VP hopeful, and both hint that Palin is all but booked.
Lorne Michaels told reporters, "All in good time, there are three more live shows left before the election. Saturday's is a rerun."
But now news is leaking out that a deal has already been made, and the scripts are being written as we speak. We don't mean Tina Fey doing Sarah Palin, we mean Palin doing Palin. Or maybe Palin doing Tina Fey? Now there is an idea…
Sources close to the show say Sarah will be seen on "SNL" Saturday night, October 25, and that dress rehearsal time has already been scheduled for Friday the 24th. We can't wait.
Tina Fey left SNL two tears ago to create, write and star in the hit NBC series "30 Rock" with Tracy Morgan and Alec Baldwin. Since then, her celebrity status has shot through the roof, making her Palin parodies even more tantalizing.
In fact, NBC just announced an A-list group of celebs that will be guest appearing with Fey when "30 Rock" begins its new season later this month.
