Tiger, Elin Prove Fodder For SNL Tiger Woods Skits

With revelations of four, five, six (more?) mistresses and images of Elin Woods chasing Tiger down the driveway with a golf club (whether or not it actually happened), one couldn't expect a lack of SNL Tiger Woods skits, could one? No, one couldn't.

Saturday Night Live skewered the golf superstar with a hilarious Tiger Woods SNL skit revolving around a strange series of accidents. However, one problem that was brought up by some, was that the skits seemed to focus on potential domestic violence on the part of Elin Woods against Tiger, and some felt that was insensitive to musical guest, Rihanna. Rihanna had her own domestic violence issue with Chris Brown, you might recall.

In the Tiger Woods SNL skit, actor Wolf Blitzer on CNN’s “Situation Room” (portrayed by Jason Sudeikis) reported on a news conference that Tiger Woods (played by Kenan Thompson) and his wife (played by Blake Lively) were holding outside their home. After Woods admitted to “multiple” transgressions, Elin Woods looked surprised at the word "multiple" and the screen shifted quickly back to Blitzer for "breaking news."

“This just in. Tiger Woods is back in the hospital. Apparently just hours after a press conference where he confessed to multiple transgressions, Woods had an accident in his home where he fell down a flight of stairs, then inadvertently threw himself through a plate glass window.”

At that point, Blitzer went back to Tiger for another news conference. Tiger said, while Elin Woods stood next to him holding a golf club. “Wow, I’ve been really clumsy this week.” Of course, after Tiger received a cell phone call, he was mysteriously hit by his own car.

The Real Reason Obama Won the Nobel Prize: For Not Being Bush (SNL)

Following last week's opening sketch which mocked President Barack Obama's accomplishments so far (they said "none," but vetting by real news media showed that was sorely incorrect), Saturday Night Live skewered Obama's win of the Nobel Peace Prize earlier this week:

"This prize bestowed by the Nobel committee in Norway is given annually to individuals who have made significant contributions to world peace. Jimmy Carter won it for decades of trying to find solutions to international conflicts, Al Gore won it for his years of education [the] U.S. about climate change, and us? Well, I won it for not being George Bush."

To be honest, while there is perhaps reason to be perplexed over Obama's nod, which is more about the promise of the future than the past, it's not as though the U.S. president campaigned for the award.

Also, as the Washington Post points out, the Nobel Prizes are picked by 5 Norwegians. 5 humans, only 5 (emphasis mine):

The Nobel Committee consists of five Norwegians, selected by the Norwegian parliament. In his will, Alfred Nobel, the Swedish dynamite tycoon who thought up this whole thing, specifically wanted Norwegians to choose the winner, apparently because Norwegians, being outside the European mainstream, would be less likely to be politically corrupt. The trouble is that Norwegians, being outside the European mainstream, are also more likely to be eccentric. Norway is a wonderful country and Norwegians have some of the highest living standards in the world -- thanks to their low population numbers and their large deposits of oil and gas – but the last time I was there, I got in an argument with someone over which country was more evil, the United States or North Korea. This being a few years ago, at the height of the Bush Terror, you can guess which side the Norwegian was on.

If you want to be angry at someone, don't target Obama. Target Norway. Oh, and don't, as Michael Steele seems to want us to believe, even think that it's about the "Democrats and their international leftist allies (who) want America made subservient to the agenda of global redistribution and control." Maybe Norwegian control.

At any rate, the SNL sketch was funny, which is what it is intended to be, although the part about not being Bush rings true, when you remember the blurb from the WaPo above.

Finally, according to SNL, Obama also had another run of luck: the Powerball.

"The funny thing is it's the first Powerball ticket I've ever bought. I was driving Sasha and Malia home from school and we stopped at a 7/11 for sodas. We all chose two numbers and there you have it: $70 million."

He can use that $70 million to pay down the national debt.

SNL Skewers Obama's Accomplishments: Nada

This weekend's Saturday Night Live showed that they're not against skewering the left-wing when it fails. In their opening sketch, they pointed out that it's not the right who should be angry at Obama, it's the left. Why? Because nothing's really been done.

"There are those on the right who are angry. They think that I'm turning this great country into something that resembles the Soviet Union or Nazi Germany, but that's just not the case. But when you look at my record it's very clear what I've done so far and that is nothing. Nada. Almost one year and nothing to show for it. [...]

"I just don't see why the right is so riled up, I mean how do you think the left feels. They're the ones who should be mad. [...]

"Looking at this list I see two big accomplishments: Jack and Squat. And remember, I can do whatever I want; I have a majority in both houses of Congress. I could make it mandatory for gays to marry and require all cars to run on marijuana, but do I? No."

That's true, with the supermajority in the Senate, he should be able to do anything he wants. So why doesn't he? What's wrong with the Democrats? When the GOP was in power, they didn't have any problems with shoving things through, and the Democrats didn't even stop them, when they could, with a filibuster.

Despite "F-bomb," SNL's Jenny Slate Will Not Be Fired

Those hoping that Casey Wilson and Michaela Watkins might be rehired if SNL newcomer Jenny Slate was fired after her SNL "FUBAR" on Saturday can stop hoping. NBC has announced that she's still got a job with Saturday Night Live.

The question, "Is Jenny Slate fired?" is an obvious one after the newbie uttered the "f-bomb" on her first show. Since the writers had foolishly chosen to use the term "fricking" umpteen-million times in the skit, they were playing with fire, anyway. Of course, only those on the East Coast were able to see the lapse on TV.

It was indeed a FUBAR for SNL, but it wasn't a first. The last time it happened was in 1981, when the late Charles Rocket, upset at being canned from the show, added an f-bomb as a parting gift to then Executive Producer Dick Ebersol.

Still, Lorne Michaels, the current executive producer, said no repercussions will befall Slate. In other words, Jenny Slate is not fired (at least for now; ask Wilson and Watkins about that). There will be, of course, likely FCC fines over the issue.

If nothing else, Jenny Slate, while not fired, has made a big name for herself on the first show. Typically, most people wouldn't even know who she was, but since videos of the expletive are going viral, that's not going to be the case here.

Watch it below. Oh, and Jenny, don't do it again.

SNL Newbie Jenny Slate Drops the F-Bomb on Air

Saturday Night Live (SNL) dropped Casey Wilson and Michaela Watkins during the offseason, adding Nasim Pedrad and Jenny Slate. Anyone besides me wondering if Jenny Slate will be around next week, after dropping the f-bomb on camera?

Realistically, Jenny Slate will probably be around next week, but NBC will be minus some cash from an FCC fine. Remember that the show is broadcast live, and during a skit (an unfunny one, no less), she did drop an f-bomb on camera. Yep, Jenny Slate said "f*cking."

I'll admit, it's easy to forgive Jenny Slate. Well, maybe not that easy, but the skit had her saying the word "fricking" quite a few times. One can see how easy it might be to remove the "ri" and replace it with "u."

It's pretty obvious that Jenny Slate knew she said the f-bomb, as well. Watch the video and you can see her puff out her cheeks right after saying it. While the skit continued, you know she was probably repeating the first four letters of her f-bomb over and over in her head.

Jenny Slate's fellow SNL newcomer Nasim Pedrad also debuted on SNL last night. Unlike Slate, however, she did not utter any expletives. For those interested in the more mundane details of the broadcast, the host was Megan Fox and U2 was the musical guest.
