We heart you, Saturday Night Live.

On this weekend's installment, new cast member Vanessa Bayer took on her first lead in a sketch, doing an outstanding job mocking Miley Cyrus, while host Bryan Cranston played father Billy Ray.

You've, like, gotta, like, watch this, like, impression, as Bayer parodies Miley's numerous statements about how, like, she's a serious actress. Like, check it out below...

Ryan Phillippe hosted Saturday Night Live last night. One of the more random celebrities to take to the stage, the actor hasn't starred in a hit movie, or proven he's remotely funny, in years.

But he did perfectly fine. Not as humorous as Tinay Fey, not as embarrassing as January Jones.

Phillippe may not have stood out, but the evening's musical guest still has people talking. That's what Ke$ha does best, right?

The eccentric singer, who once called BS on Britney Spears for lip-synching, was definitely singing live during the broadcast. But we're not sure if that's a good thing. She sounds terrible on this rendition of "Tik Tok:"

Ke$ha also sang her latest single "Your Love is a Drug." Black lights were used, and unusual outfits were worn, during the performance, including a giant, neon cross across the singer's chest that may offend some Christians. See what we mean now:

What did you think of Ke$ha's performances? They were...

Barack Obama wasn't a big fan of Sarah Palin's uninformed criticism of his nuclear arms treaty with Russia this week.

But at least the President, along with all rational human beings, can take solace in Palin's existence for one reason only: it's enabled Tina Fey to deliver the best satire television has seen in years.

The actress was at it again last night, impersonating the former Alaskan Governor (and current professional, paid speaker of BS) on Saturday Night Live. Fey introduced viewers to The Sarah Palin Network, which is comprised of the following programs:

  • Are You Smarter Than a Half-term Governor?
  • Tea Party Wheel of Fortune (Example of a puzzle: Obama is a Terrist)
  • Hey, Journalist, I Gotcha! (Where "I re-edit my interviews with journalists to make it look like they were the ones that were woefully unprepared.")
  • Man in a Helicopter with a Sniper Rifle vs. Wild

It takes a lot to upstage Justin Bieber on the show, but Fey did it with this great skit. Watch below.

We all know Justin Bieber can sing.

And there's no debate that the 16-year old, with the number-one album in the country, can look adorable.

But the teen sensation proved he possesses a couple acting chops last night, appearing in a pair of Saturday Night Live skits. First, he turned Tina Fey into a cougar, unable to resist the cute charms of Bieber's student. See what we mean now:

Then, he showed up near the end of another skit, slow-dancing with the luckiest SNL cast member alive.

Peep that video below and sound off: Did you watch Bieber on the show? What did you think?

Mark your calendars, Betty White supporters:

Following a Facebook campaign that resulted in over 350,000 signatures, fans have gotten their wish: the former Golden Girls star will host NBC's Saturday Night Live on May 8.

But the 88-year old won't take to the stage alone. In honor of Mother's Day, the edition will reunite six former female cast members as co-hosts: Tina Fey, Amy Poehler, Molly Shannon, Maya Rudolph, Ana Gasteyer and Rachel Dratch.

The Facebook campaign kicked off after White appeared in a Super Bowl commercial for Snickers, which SNL creator Lorne Michaels said "took on a groundswell.

"[White as the host] isn't something we would have said no to, [but the campaign] validated that... It was the outpouring of affection from fans, and we feel the same way."

Simply put, "she's the mother of us all in comedy," Michaels said.

Go ahead and set your DVR for this episode of the long-running sketch series. We'll wait right here.

It's a golden age for one Golden Girl.

Over the past year, Betty White has co-starred in a hit movie (The Proposal); appeared in a Super Bowl commercial; and received a lifetime achievement from the Screen Actors Guild. The 88-year old is suddenly in a more sought after commodity than Megan Fox nude photos.

Nowhere is this more evident than on Facebook: Over 330,000 users have signed an online petition that aims to get White as a host of Saturday Night Live. What does the actress think of this movement?

"I don't even know where that came from," she told People. "That just came out of left field. It's ridiculous. I don't think Lorne Michaels even knows about it, so we won't worry about it."

The prospect of White as on the SNL stage raises two questions, the first being: Do you want this to happen?

 

The second question: Who is your dream SNL host? We vote for Levi Johnston, Chris Harrison, Tiger Woods or Snooki.

Saturday Night Live ridiculed New York State Governor David Paterson once again last night, with SNL cast member Fred Armisen doing the hilarious honors.

As has been the theme in skewerings past, Paterson was depicted as having a difficult time finding the news desk and speaking erratically, to say the least.

He opened by saying, "Hello Yankee Stadium!" Informed it was not in fact the House that Ruth Built, the legally blind governor called it "classic Paterson."

When not making a mockery of himself, the faux David Paterson character relentlessly poked fun at New Jersey, a.k.a. the land of cologne and raccoons.

The Garden State is such a cesspool, Paterson opined, that the Jersey Shore cast is actually the cream of the crop. That would be pretty bad, indeed.

The latest skit is likely to again raise the ire of Paterson himself and potential of advocates for the disabled, whose criticism has not deterred SNL so far.

Does SNL go too far? What do you think of the David Paterson skit?

Snooki, a.k.a. Nicole Polizzi from Jersey Shore, stopped by the Weekend Update desk on Saturday Night Live last night to share her insight on various topics.

The Princess of Poughkeepsie talked about this week's episode, which featured her getting knocked the f*%k out, as well as the traits she looks for in a guido.

The best thing about this faux interview with Snooki (played by SNL's Bobby Moynihan) is news anchor Seth Meyers trying to keep a straight face throughout.

Jersey Shore on Weekend Update

We can sympathize with Seth, given that, well, this is Jersey Shore. The SNL spoof was classic in that it only slightly exaggerates the absurdity of the real show.

Also making a brief cameo was The Situation (Mike Sorrentino, played by Bill Hader), showing off his seriously ripped abs, gold chains and slicked-back hair.

It's hard to even look at "Snooki" without bursting out laughing, so wait until you hear the audio of this scintillating Q&A. Check out the video after the jump ...

Team Edward or Team Jacob?

It's a question that has divided movie fans, and long-time friends, for months on end.

On this weekend's new edition of Saturday Night Live, Taylor Lautner got into the debate... but you'll never guess the side he took.

Okay, maybe you will, based on our headline and this drawn-out tease. Still, it's worth watching the video below in order to see a very different side of this Twilight Saga star.

The way Tiger Woods and his many affairs dominated the news last week, you knew Saturday Night Live would go there in some way, shape or form.

The pleasant surprise? It was actually pretty funny.

Appearing in press conferences on SNL's version of CNN's The Situation Room with Wolf Blitzer, Tiger tried to vaguely apologize for his "transgressions."

But he only dug himself a deeper and deeper hole.

With Kenan Thompson doing his best Tiger and beautiful Gossip Girl star Blake Lively a bit more convincing as the scorned Elin Woods, the SNL skit offered a new take on what went down between the golfer and his wife after his car accident ...
