Katy Perry: I'll be honest, I usually use the musical appearances on 'SNL' to go get snacks or to check my scalp for unusual growths. But for you, dear reader, I'll give them some love. I'm very bad at telling if people are lip-syncing, yet ironically skilled at identifying celebrity voices in animated movies. Perry sounded great, and looked even better: like Betty Boop in a unicorn's bedroom for 'California Gurlz,' and like a teenager in a unicorn's dream for 'Teenage Dream.'
Weekend Update: Update continues to be one of the most consistent sketches that 'SNL' has to offer. Seth and Amy hit most of the highlights of the off-season, including an inspired 'Really? with Seth and Amy' skewering the controversy over military's 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell' policy. New featured player Jay Pharoah made his debut with a fantastic impression of Will Smith -- Update impersonations are always a good way to get your feet wet. The zenith of Update, and arguably the episode, was a dueling Pattersons bit with Fred Armisen reprising his role as the blind New York governor only to be upstaged by the real Governor Patterson, who delivered the line of the night: "You have poked so much fun at me for being governor that I forgot that I was black!"
The Lean Years: Another of Poehler's classic characters returns in this mockumentary about the next Showtime dramedy about women with secrets. Amber, the chick with one leg (jealous?!), stars in 'The Lean Years,' because "the best titles mean two things." It was great to see Amber again, even if for only one joke -- one of my all-time favorites -- when she breaks wind and asks whoever is listening if they are somehow jealous.
SNL Digital Short, 'Boogerman': I was hoping for a lot more out of the digital short, especially with Timberlake showing up in the monologue, but I also can't say I've ever been truly disappointed by a short, either. 'Boogerman' was memorable for its repetition and exaggeration of movie cliches and the random cuts to celebrities applauding. It was nice to see them getting their money's worth out of Katy Perry as well.
Little Hats: This somewhat absurdist (if there is such a thing) sketch was an elaborate set-up for the line "faking your own death is the new tiny hat."
Katy Perry stopped by the set of Saturday Night Live over the weekend to perform two songs from her hit album, Teenage Dream, as Amy Poehler made her return to SNL as host.
Although Katy Perry performed "California Gurls" before a live studio audience on SNL, Perry also gave the SNL crowd and fans at home the title track from her latst album, "Teenage Dream".
Check out Katy Perry below as she performs "Teenage Dream" on Saturday Night Live:
Actor II Actor: Samberg and Timberlake flaunt their real friendship in this cross between 'Inside the Actor's Studio' and the old sketch 'The Chris Farley Show.' It started with the pretentious posturing of the former and quickly deteriorated into the childish antics of the latter when Samberg asked "when are you gonna make some more music?" and Timberlake stormed off the set.
