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.

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.
