Jonah Hill Gets Cocky On 'Saturday Night Live'

Jonah Hill was probably the only  person in the world that expected him to be nominated for an Academy Award earlier this year for his role in the baseball drama Moneyball. This became more evident when the Project X actor took to the stage last night to host Saturday Night Live.

Hill delivered an insanely funny monologue that depicted him as a self absorbed actor, with a new-found snooty attitude.  Speaking in third person, Hill gloated about his multiple Oscars and referred to himself as “one of our finest actors.”

Although Hill’s sense of humor about himself was great entertainment, that skit, unfortunately, was the only highlight of the night. Especially because he recruited Tom Hanks to join him in his narcissistic speil. Still, none of the sketches were trainwrecks like the previous episode with Lindsay Lohan.

Check out the best Saturday Night Live skit of the night and watch hilarity ensue.

Still independent.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. 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, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up 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.
