Julian Assange in Prison

Diane Foster…..Nasim Pedrad
Julian Assange…..Bill Hader

[ open on MasterCard logo ]

Announcer: And now, a message from MasterCard.

[ dissolve to Diane Foster in a MasterCard office ]

Diane Foster: Hello. I’m Diane Foster, Vice-President of Customer Relations at MasterCard. This week, supporters of the WikiLeaks organization attacked our web site. I want to assure our customers that we are —

[ the picture turns to snow, then falls upon the image of Julian Assange in prison ]

Julian Assange: Hello, again. It’s me, Julian Assange. I’ve taken over your airwaves, inside a British prison. How did I get a camera into a British prison? Maybe you weren’t listening: I’m Julian Assange. This Monday, I was arrested, proving that, for those who terrorize the United States, there’s nowhere to hide. America will find you, and they will punish you — unless, of course, your name is Osama bin Laden.

[ he coyly sips from a china cup of tea ]

No, I was not arrested for terrorism, but, rather, to be questioned on two rape charges. It has long been Interpol’s job to hunt down those accused of sexual misdeeds. Who can forget their months-long pursuit of Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger? Double standard, anyone?

[ he chuckles and sips from a china cup of tea ]

Now, on to business. If I’m not released immediately, supporters of the WikiLeaks are prepared to take the following web sites:

Amazon. If I am forcibly imprisoned for one more day, anyone purchasing Mark Twain’s new autobiography on Amazon as a Christmas present for their father, will instead send him the book “Everyone Poops”. Ho ho ho — awk-waaaaard!

Orbitz. If I’m held for two more days, any holiday flight booked through Orbitz will have a connection at the Cleveland International Airport. Also: All special requests will be logged as Middle Seat Kosher Meal. Lachaim!

[ he giggles maniacally and sips from a china cup of tea ]

Day Three: Facebook. You know that one profile picture that makes you look thin? It’s gone. Boo hoo!

On the fourth day, we will move on to the Facebook game FarmVille, AND… leave it alone. So people you barely remember from high school can continue to bother you with requests to water their stupid crops. Hoo-ray!

Day Five: Netflix. Have you seen the fourth season of “Hanging With Mr. Cooper”? [ threateningly ] You’re about to! It’s first on your queue!

Angry Birds. If I’m held for six days, the birds in the popular app Angry Birds will no longer be angry. “What are you playing? Good-Natured Birds? How is it?” IT STINKS!!

And if I’m incarcerated for one whole week, we start messing with porn sites — the FREE ones. Ooooohhh! Got your attention NOW, do I? [ he smiles deviously ]

There you have it. Hope to see you on the outside. In conclusion, I want to remind you that no matter how I die, even if there’s a suicide note, it was murder. Cheers!

[ he laughs maniacally snd sips his tea ]

Weekend Update with Seth Meyers

…..Seth Meyers
The Devil…..Jason Sudeikis
Anthony Crispino…..Bobby Moynihan

Announcer: “Weekend Update”, with Seth Meyers.

Seth Meyers: Good evening, I’m Seth Meyers. Here are tonight’s top stories:

Many Democrats were upset this week with President Obama, saying that he failed to negotiate with the Republicans in extending the Bush-era tax cuts, and that he caved in on raising taxes with on the rich. Man, if other Democrats think you caved, you really caved! That’s like the Chess Club President calling you a nerd.

When Democrats this week rejected Obama’s compromise plan, the White House took a page from the music industry: If you’re not selling like you used to, break out the greatest hits.

Wikileaks founder Julian Assange was arrested on Monday, and now all Americans can sleep easy knowing they have nothing more to fear from the bad man who wanted them to read.

In an interview this week with Barbara Walters, Oprah Winfrey denied that she is a lesbian, saying, “I’m not even kind of a lesbian.” Said Walters, “I haven’t asked you a question yet.”

New Jersey’s first bear hunt in five years started Monday. So be on your guard, mob wives.

It was reported that a number of professional athletes are now seeking to copyright their personal slogans, including the New York Jets Darrelle Revis’ “Revis Island,” Michael Strahan’s “Stomp You Out,” Terrell Owens’ “I Love Me Some,” and, of course, Brett Farve’s “Say Hello To My Little Friend.”

A man in Kentucky has been sentenced to 33 months in prison for threatening President Obama in a poem called “The Sniper”. And I would guess that “Poetry” is the absolute worst answer you can give to the question: “what are you in for?”

Seth Meyers: A car carrying Prince Charles and his wife Camilla was attacked Thursday in London by angry student protesters who were upset over a hike in university tuition fees. And to find out what Charles and Camilla were saying, it’s time for a “Weekend Update Audio Caption.” [ show graphic ] And here to help me perform it — Paul McCartney. [ McCartney appears to thunderous applause ] Alright! Welcome to Weekend Update, Paul. Are you ready?”

Paul McCartney: I am.

Seth Meyers: Okay. So I will be the voice of Prince Charles, and you’ll be Camilla.

Paul McCartney: Great.

Seth Meyers: Okay. And… can you do an English accent?

Paul McCartney: I can try.

Seth Meyers: Okay. Annnnnd… action! [ as Prince Charles, over graphic ] “Ohhhhhhh, no!”

Paul McCartney: [ as Camilla ] “Oh, goodness me!”

Seth Meyers: “Ner-do-wells!”

Paul McCartney: “Ruffians!”

Seth Meyers: “Ohhhhh, Camilla!”

Paul McCartney: “Oh, Charles, do something!”

Seth Meyers: “Ohhhhhh, no matter what happens, I love you, Camilla!”

Paul McCartney: “And I love you!”

Seth Meyers & Paul McCartney: “I love you! I love you! I love you! I love you!”

Seth Meyers: Annnnnd… scene! [ the audience applauds wildly ] So, uh — how do you think that went?

Paul McCartney: It’s probably the best thing I’ve ever worked on.

Seth Meyers: Paul McCartney, everyone!

It was announced that, after 70 years, the syndicated newspaper comic strip Brenda Starr will end. So now the comics page will have room for the edgy, new strip “Ziggy: Nights.”

A new report suggests that men who grow up in the country have larger penises than men who grow up in the city. I don’t know if that’s true… [ in a hick accent ] but I reckon it could be!

A&E, this week, cancelled David Hasselhoff’s new reality series “The Hasselhoffs”, after just two episodes. It’s hard to say how Hasselhoff will take the news, but I’m going to guess… lying down?

Seth Meyers: It’s Christmastime in New York, which means millions will be heading to the city to celebrate. Here with some tips on what New York can offer, is our City correspondent… Stefon.

Stefon: [ low-key ] Hey!

Seth Meyers: Stefon, how have you been?

Stefon: The same.

Seth Meyers: Okay. So, Stefon — lots of people are heading here for a great New York Christmas. Do you have any tips on what they can see and do?

Stefon: Yes. If you’re here from Ohio — or whatever — look no further: New York’s hottest club is Ounce! Located in the middle of the East River, this place has EVERYTHING! Chullos… cute people… a sheepdog that looks like Bruce Vilanch… an entire room of puppets doing karate!

Seth Meyers: I’m sorry? An, um… and why are puppets doing karate?

Stefon: Because it’s that thing of when someone calls Miss Piggy “fat”, and she goes: “Hiiiii-ya!” [ he covers his face with his hands ]

Seth Meyers: Um… Now, Stefon, when I said, you know, “Fun things for the holiday” —

Stefon: Yes.

Seth Meyers: I meant, uh, things that were a little more… normal.

Stefon: Mmm-hmmmmmm. Mmm-hmm. Mmm-hmm.

Seth Meyers: Um… can you think of anything that might be, a little more, sort of, like classic New York holiday.

Stefon: Mmm-hmm, yes. Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes! If you want your Christmas in New York to be classic, look no further: New York’s hottest club is Ooooomph! This lower lower East Side dump is the creation of club owner Tranderson Cooper. And it finally answers the question: “Do I have to?” [ he makes a panicked face ] This place has everything! Schitzos… kite enthusiasts… and that’s not all! Look who just came in — it’s BLINGO!

Seth Meyers: I’m sorry? Blingo?

Stefon: Black Ringo!

Seth Meyers: Oh.

[ Stefon covers his face with his hands to keep from laughing ]

Seth Meyers: Stefon… buddy. Um… I don’t know how to say this, but, look — I was brought up to respect people from all walks of life.

Stefon: Tolerance?

Seth Meyers: Yeah. And I glad that you have a world you feel comfortable in.

Stefon: Dungeon culture, yes. Yes.

Seth Meyers: But… but, look, buddy — you know, I’m kind of an old-fashioned guy. You know? Born and raised in New Hampshire —

Stefon: [ excited ] A glimpse into Seth Meyers! [ he covers his face with his hands and stifles his laughter ]

Seth Meyers: Okay. And, uh — I just wanted — I wanted… yeah! But I just wanted to help folks. You know?

Stefon: Folks. Mmm-hmm.

Seth Meyers: You know? And I want them to find some good old-fashioned Christmas cheer.

Stefon: Mmmmmmmmm… yes! [ he makes an o-face ]

Seth Meyers: Stefon, can you help us with that?

Stefon: Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes! If you’re old… or into fashion… I’ve got the place for you: New York’s hottest holiday club is Blitzen! And, right now, they’re having a “12 Days of Christmas” dance party!

Seth Meyers: [ touched ] Oh! “12 Days of Christmas”. Now, see? That sounds nice!

Stefon: And it has EVERYTHING! [ singing ] “12 jacked albinos… 11 Little Richards… 10 piercer babies… 9 Asian Balkis… 8 gay Aladdins… 7 psychos swearing… 6 PuertaScreeches…” — Puerto Rican Screeches! [ he laughs ]

Seth Meyers: Of course! Of course. Yeah. We all knew that. We all knew that.

Stefon: “– 5 homeless Elmos… 4 coked-up frogs… 3 French hens… Tay-lor Ne-gron… and a hu-man park-ing co-o-o-o-one!”

Seth Meyers: So…

Stefon: Lay it on me, my man! What’s your question?

Seth Meyers: My question is: What’s a human parking cone?

Stefon: Yes! It’s that thing of when two jacked midgets… paint themselves orange and you have to parallel park between them! [ he covers his face with his hands and laughs uncontrollably ]

Seth Meyers: [ amused ] Oh, that thing! It’s that thing.

Stefon: Yes!

Seth Meyers: Stefon —

Stefon: I’ve done it!

Seth Meyers: I’m gonna ask you a serious question: Stefon, don’t you ever just want to have a normal Christmas?

Stefon: Well, I would… but no one ever invites Stefon to a normal Christmas. Awwwwww… [ he eggs the audience on to extend their sympathy ]

Seth Meyers: Well, look… Stefon. Would you like to come to New Hampshire with me?

Stefon: [ excited ] He asked me!

Seth Meyers: Stefon, everybody!

Stefon: I’m on top! I’m on top!

Seth Meyers: My good friend Stefon!

A New York City marketing group is trying to re-brand the area of Manhattan below Canal Street as “CanDo.” Which would be an improvement from its current nickname “Fish Stink Murder Town.”

A woman in England called police this week to report that her snowman had been stolen from her front yard. Oh, sure — the police are happy to get involved when a white person goes missing.

A two-year old girl in Pennsylvania had to be rescued by firefighters after she crawled inside a toy crane vending machine in a mall and became stuck. They were able to get her out safely, but it took, like, nine dollars in quarters.

Seth Meyers: For “Weekend Update”, I’m Seth Meyers! Good night!

A Message from the President of the United States

President Barack Obama…..Fred Armisen

[ open on Presidential seal ]

Announcer: The following is an address from the President of the United States.

[ dissolve to President Barack Obama seated at desk in Oval Office ]

President Barack Obama: Uh, good evening. Uh, in the next few days… the U.S. House of Representatives… and the Senate… will be voting on a vital piece of legislation. Uh, it is a tax package worked out by this White House and Republican Congressional leaders. And it is absolutely essential that it pass, both to extend unemployment benefits to those out of work… and to prevent a massive tax increase… on the American middle class… at a time when the economy can least afford it.

Now, I know that many of you are unhappy with parts of this proposal, especially that it includes tax cuts for those making over $250,000 a year. But, the simple fact is… this White House had no choice. Republican leaders insisted on tax cuts for the wealthy… and, as I said in my press conference Monday, they had decided to hold us hostage. Literally. They held us hostage in all for about… three days. Bound… gagged… blindfolded… in a dark room somewhere outside Washington. It was a terrifying experience. Uh, hard to put into words. I don’t think I’ll ever get over it, really.

And here’s something else: The Stockholm Syndrome — where hostages come to identify and agree with their captors — that’s a real phenomenon. It really is. I learned that for myself when, on the fourth day, I suddenly decided that I kind of agreed with the Republican philosophy of trickle-down economics. That’s why, to me, the tax cuts for the wealthy… aren’t a big problem. They’re the best part of the bill. [ enthuiastically ] You watch. I predict the rich will use that extra money to go out and create jobs. Millions and millions of jobs. It’s like Rush said on his show the other day: “I never got hired by a poor person.” [ he giggles coquettishly ]

So, if House Speaker Nancy Pelosi — or as I now like to call her: “San Francisco Nancy” — would just stop her obstructionist tactics and let this bill come to a vote, we can get our economy moving again. Now, “San Francisco Nancy” and her Democrat pals need to understand that, six weeks ago, the American people went to the polls and overwhelmingly rejected their San Francisco values… and their class warfare politics.

Now, one more thing: I would be remiss were I to appear before you tonight and not express my extreme disappointment — perhaps “outrage” is a better word — at the unjust treatment accorded Bristol Palin recently on “Dancing with the Stars”. The judges’ decision was a travesty. And I join the First Lady, as well as her fellow Mama Grizzlies, in condemning it.

Well, that’s all for tonight. I will see you next week in Tampa, Florida, when I join Glenn Beck and Bill O’Reilly as part of our Bold Fresh Tour. Now, in closing, let me reassure you that however long it takes, this nation’s current troubles will pass… because you Americans never have, and never will, give up. I say “You Americans” because, even though I always thought I was born here, uhhhh… lately I’ve begun to have my doubts.

Thank you, and “Live from New York, it’s Saturday Night!”

10i: Paul Rudd / Paul McCartney

Paul McCartney performs “A Day in the Life” / “Give Peace a Chance”

…..Paul Rudd
…..Paul McCartney

Paul Rudd: Once again — Paul McCartney.

Paul McCartney: [ singing ]
“I read the news today, oh boy
About a lucky man who made the grade
And though the news was rather sad
Well, I just had to laugh.
I saw the photograph.

He blew his mind out in a car
He didn’t notice that the lights had changed
A crowd of people stood and stared
They’d seen his face before
Nobody was really sure if he was from the House of Lords.

I saw a film today, oh boy
The English Army had just won the war
A crowd of people turned away
But I just had to look
Having read the book.

I’d love to tuuuuuuuuurn… yoooooooouuuu… ooooooooooon.

[ alarm clock rings ]

Woke up, fell out of bed
Dragged a comb across my head
Found my way downstairs and drank a cup
And looking up I noticed I was late.

Grabbed my coat, found my hat
Found the bus in seconds flat
Found my way upstairs and had a smoke
And somebody spoke and I went into a dream.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!

All we are saying is give peace a chance.
Oh yeah!
All we are saying is give peace a chance.
Everybody’s talking about!
All we are saying is give peace a chance.
Give me the chance, give me the chance.
All we are saying is give peace a chance.”

Okay, now YOU sing it!

Audience: “All we are saying is give peace a chance!”

Paul McCartney: Everybody sing it!

Audience: “All we are saying is give peace a chance!”

Paul McCartney: [ singing ]
“Give peace a chance!
Now come on, all over the world!

All we are saying is give peace a chance
Yes!
All we — all we are saying is give peace a chance
Give peace a chance, give peace a chance!
All we are saying is give peace a chance!”

[ thunderous applause ]
