After Whitney Houston was laid to rest, Bobby Brown bailed before the funeral before it even started and Kevin Costner schooled everyone on how to do a eulogy, we all sought solace in SNL. Well, most of us. I was sailor hunting. Long story.

In case you were too busy fashioning a last minute Mothers Day gift basket made out of half used Bath and Body Works lotion you found in your roommate’s bathroom and missed Betty White bringing sessy back to SNL, here are some highlights filled with the forger Golden Girl throwing out naughty words like an Irish sailor with tourettes. It was the highest rated episode since the pre-election episode (hosted by Ben Affleck with guests John McCain and Tina Fey) in November of 2008.
Some old favorites were employed to make sure Betty’s Saturday Night Live debut was the height of awesomeness it was pimped to be. Tina Fey, Amy Poehler, Rachel Dratch, Ana Gasteyer and Molly Shannon all showed up to make up for the over abundance of MacGruber sketches. Betty also did a special Happy Mother’s Day Motherf**kers remix of “Thank You for Being a Friend” for a SNL Digital Short.

Paterson ‘Enraged’ Over Saturday Night Live Skit – Video
December 15, 2008 By Leave a Comment
Governor David Paterson was mocked on ‘Saturday Night Live‘ this weekend. The “Weekend Update” portion of SNL featured Fred Armisen dressed as Paterson and poking fun at his blindness, wandering eye and his uber-modest behavior. Blind jokes included holding graphs upside down.
SNL cast member Amy Poehler’s had also decided to leave the show. She was saying her goodbye during the segment when Fred walked in the shot and nonstop laughter ensued.
The skits offended the Governor and he is furious.
“The governor engages in humor all the time, and he can certainly take a joke,” Paterson’s spokesman, Errol Cockfield, said today. However, this particular ‘Saturday Night Live’ skit unfortunately chose to ridicule people with physical disabilities and imply that disabled people are incapable of having jobs with serious responsibilities.”
National Federation of the Blind has also taken offense to the skit and released a statement:
“When you have a perception problem like we have, you take these things a little more seriously. We have 70 percent unemployment – and it’s not because we can’t work. Obviously, the governor of New York is blind, and he’s doing the job. Whenever you have a portrayal that calls the basic capacity of [blind people] into question, that’s a potential problem.”
Seriously…we have a perfectly good target currently sitting in the Oval Office and SNL is taking jabs at the blind guy. That is the real offense here.
John McCain on Saturday Night Live – Video

John McCain and Tina Fey tag teamed on Saturday Night Live last night. John’s wife, Cindy McCain, also joined in on the show’s opening montage. He did surprisingly well for a dusty old fart. He was able to poke fun at his “Maverick” shtick and did with a smile. Meanwhile, host Ben Affleck had his eyes glued to the prompter the entire time and failed to send me into a fit of giggles.
McCain even stuck around for the Weekend Update portion of SNL. Seth Meyers was without his co-anchor, Amy Poehler. She was busy giving birth and recovering. She welcomed her first child, Archie Arnett.
Good Lord. Was Jughead and his wannabe Burger King crown there too?
