Jimmy Fallon SNL Homecoming: The Best Skits Of The Night

Posted byBy ABS Contributor | Published on: CommentsComments (0)

Jimmy Fallon brought the ’90s back  last night on Saturday Night Live.  Fallon hosted the show for the first time since he was a cast member and cameos from such legendary favorites as Rachel Dratch, Amy Poehler, Horatio Sanz, Chris Kattan, Tracy Morgan, and Tina Fey were featured in the holiday-themed episode.  Jude Law also made an appearance. Being a veteran, Fallon seemed at home on the sketches and his presence definitely added to the warm, fuzzy, holiday feeling.  Watch some of the best SNL skits of the night below and  let us know which were your favorites and which ones bored you.

Michael Bublé’s Christmas Duets

This ensemble of celebrity impressions including Jimmy Fallon’s Justin Beiber and Jay Pharoah’s  Kanye West will keep you grinning  all the way through.  The Lady Gaga impression will definitely make you chuckle.


Weekend Update Joke-Off

Everybody will be talking about this homecoming sketch on Monday.  Fallon, Tina Fey, and Amy Poehler had a little Weekend Update anchor reunion with current Update anchor Seth Meyers for a no-holds-barred joke-off.  Most of the jokes were mediocre at best, but the concept was impressive along with the female anchors hilarious buzzer sounds.


In the Cage with Nicolas Cage

Andy Samberg’s dead on Nicolas Cage impression was very entertaining, but this should not come as a surprise.


Mirror Sketch

Starting off slow, this sketch becomes hilarious around the time that Andy Samberg lets Jimmy Fallon spit in his face. The two actors play off and imitate each other to create a mirror effect.


Today Show With Regis Philbin
Kristen Wiig was hilarious as Kathie Lee Gifford especially with the persistent brutal mocking of costar Hoda Kotb’s sex life. Things  got even better when Fallon’s dead-on Regis Philbin joined the action.

 

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
