The View

Whoopi Goldberg…..Kenan Thompson
Kate Gosselin…..Taylor Swift
Barbara Walters…..Nasim Pedrad
Joy Behar…..Fred Armisen
Elisabeth Hasselback…..Kristen Wiig
Nicholas Cage…..Andy Samberg

Whoopi Goldberg: Okay, we’re back with hot topics. Filling in for Sherri Shepherd today is Kate Gosselin.

Kate Gosselin: Hi.

Whoopi Goldberg: Okay, now, you are on a press tour for no reason. Is that right?

Kate Gosselin: Thank you Whoopi. Actually, that’s right. I’m doing lots of press.

Barbara Walters: You know Kate, for someone who has absolutely no experience in this industry, other than wrangling a bunch of kids into a mini van on camera, you seem very self assured.

Kate Gosselin: Thank you for saying that Barbara. Actually, every day I practice emphatically talking in front of a mirror.

Joy Behar: You know, the only thing that I practice in front of a mirror is sucking in my back fat. So what? Who cares?

Whoopi Goldberg: I don’t even own a mirror. The last time I looked in the mirror I gave myself one of these… And you know what was weird? The mirror gave me one of these!

Elisabeth Hasselback: Kate, I just wanna say you have beautiful hair. I’ve heard many people make fun of your hairstyle, and I think it’s beautiful. It’s like a gorgeous waterfall of human hair in the front, and in the back a patriotic fireworks display. In the front, a fun slide and in the back, an exploded hedgehog. Perfect for the busy mom with children. Beautiful hairstyle. A beautiful American hairstyle. America.

Kate Gosselin: It is. Actually, you know, the hardest thing about being a mom is having patience. Cause sometimes the paparazzi say they’re going to be someplace at ten and they don’t show up until eleven.

Elisabeth Hasselback: You’re a busy mom, with beautiful hair. It’s like the front is walking into a job interview and the back is leaving a rock concert.

Barbara Walters: Bup, bup, bup, bup, bup, ladies, let’s get back to hot topics. Now this Swine Flu has become even more serious than before. There are reported cases as far away as China, India, and as I said before, China. One problem that they are foreseeing is that they’re not going to have enough of this H1N1 vaccine.

Whoopi Goldberg: Oh, H1N1, H2B4, K67B, R2D2. These cats sticking letters after numbers and numbers after letters. I don’t go to doctors. The last time I went to a doctor, he poked his head into the room and said “Are you naked yet?” and I said “Honey child, I ain’t taking off my crocks.”

Joy Behar: You know, the only shot I want is a shot of kahlua after looking at my neck wrinkles. I look like I’ve got frisbees around my neck. So what? Who cares?

Whoopi Goldberg: Uh oh. Joy, you’ve got a lot of jokes lined up for this one. I can tell by the look on your face.

Joy Behar: Okay, thanks Whoopi. Okay, here we go. The only shot I want is a shot of David Caruso getting out of the shower. Who cares? So what? My doctor told me that I have so much upper arm fat that if I was pushed out of a tree, I would glide, like a squirrel. Who cares? So what?

Kate Gosselin: Ha ha, ha ha, ha, you are so funny. Actually, you know what else is funny? How I got this hairstyle. My hairdresser was halfway through giving me the Rachel when his blowdryer exploded on the back of my head.

Elisabeth Hasselback: You guys, H1N1 is really serious. This is scary. The government cannot come into my house and tell me to get vaccinated. I put anti-bacteria gel everywhere in my house. Every corner. Every corner near my cell phone, my crepe maker, the ceiling fan, the banisters leading to my bathroom. Every corner. Every corner. Every corner. Corner. Corn-er. Every.

Barbara Walters: All right, ladies. Let’s bring out our first guest. He’s a very prominent actor, he’s starred in dozens of films, including my favorite, ghost rider, please welcome Nicholas Cage.

Nicholas Cage: Hi, hi. Hi, how are you? Hi. Thank you for having me here today.

Joy Behar: So you’re broke now, right?

Nicholas Cage: Yes I am. Uh, unfortunately my business manager made some grave errors with my money, and, uh, it’s gone.

Barbara Walters: So what’s next for Nicholas Cage?

Nicholas Cage: I’m gonna steal the Declaration of Independence.

Barbara Walters: Really?

Nicholas Cage: Yeah, maybe there’ll be a treasure map on the back, or, uh, maybe I’ll just make another movie. You know, something where I walk around and I go, “Ah, watch out!”

Barbara Walters: Fascinating. I look forward to seeing that on the silver scream. Kate, thanks for taking the time out of your busy schedule. I know you have to dash off to a book signing at Barnes and Noble.

Joy Behar: Oh, you have a book out?

Kate Gosselin: Actually, no. I’m just walking up to people and asking them if they want me to sign whatever book they’re holding.

Nicholas Cage: Oh, I do that too.

Whoopi Goldberg: Okay, well, we’ll see you all tomorrow when our guests will be Kristen Stewart and Wanda Sykes.

Deejay….Will Forte
Bride…..Abby Elliott
Groom…..Bill Hader

[ open on interior, wedding reception, Andy and June standing in the middle of the room ]

Andy: Wow… what a touching ceremony. I’ve never been to a wedding where so many people cried.

June: I know! Nicole looked SO beautiful. I’m so glad I brought tissues.

[ suddenly, Penelope sidles into the conversation, tugging at the strands of her hair ]

Penelope: I brought tissues, too… Probably more tissues than you. I also brought paper towels, a beach towel, a sponge, and a Shamwow! I used them all up, they’re wet… So, I guess I’m just a little more emotional than everyone else…

Andy: Oh. Honey, this is Penelope.

June: [ not sure how to approach someone like Penelope ] Hi. I’m June. I went to high school with Nicole.

Penelope: I went to college with Nicole, so… and her parents, and her neighbors… we all lived together in a dorm… I also went to school with the deejay, too, so… I probably know everyone here a little better than you.

June: Well, it’s, uh — it’s nice to meet you.

[ cut to the deejay ]

Deejay: Hi, everybody! Two announcements. One: I hope you’re ready to boogie tonight. [ the room claps ] Two: While we wait for the bride and groom to arrive, we’d like you all to take your seats, your salads have been served.

[ Penelope sidles in holding an empty plate ]

Penelope: I already ate my salad, so… It’s my tenth salad today, so… I have a salad bar in my car!

Deejay: So, anyway, uh —

Penelope: The steering wheel is a big crouton! And it runs on bleu cheese dressing.

[ cut to Andy and June seated at a table ]

Andy: Wow, this table is beautiful. Look at all these cute little boxes.

June: My God, they are so cute… [ she opens one of the boxes ] Oh, my God! They have M&Ms in them!

Penelope: [ now seated next to them ] At my wedding, we had M&M&Ms, so… Just a few more Ms on our candy, so a little bit bigger, a little better. We also had L&L and O&O and Q&Qs… It’s a little better than M&Ms… they’re from Iceland, they’re known for their chocolate.

Andy: Really.

[ cut to the deejay ]

Deejay: Alright, everybody, it’s the moment we’ve been waiting for! If I could get you to look that way!

[ cut to Penelope, wearing horse blinders ]

Penelope: I’m already looking that way already, so… It’s the only way I’m looking, so I guess I’m just a little more focused than everyone else.

June: [ aghast ] Are those horse blinders?! Really?!

Deejay: Now, everyone, I would like to introduce for the VERY fist time ever: Mr. & Mrs. Nicole and Steve Parker!

[ the happy couple enters the room, as Todd Rundgren’s “Band On the Drum All Day” plays ]

June: They look so cute!

[ the couple raise their arms triumphantly, then, all of a sudden, Penelope is squeezed between them holding up her arms linked within theirs ]

June: Oh, my God! What is she doing?!

Bride: Thanks so much for coming, everyone! It means so much that you’re all here tonight!

Groom: Yeah, but don’t drink too much, I still have to pay for the honeymoon!

Bride: Yeah!

[ Penelope pops up from the floor ]

Penelope: I just got back from my honeymoon, so… We went to the moon, actually, it’s made of honey

[ Penelope lowers herslf out of frame ]

Groom: Well, uh — enjoy your dinners, everyone!

[ the happy couple approaches the main table ]

June: What was she doing up there? that is so rude!

Andy: June, relax, okay? Let’s just have a good time. Why don’t you clink your glass, so they have to kiss? You love doing that at weddings.

June: [ smiling ] I do love seeing people kiss at weddings!

[ they each clink their forks upon their glasses, but the sound is soon drowned out by a louder clinking ]

[ cut to Penelope clinking an oversized glass ]

[ nevertheless, the happy couple kiss ]

June: Penelope is RUINING this entire reception!

Andy: Look — you making a scene isn’t going to make it any better.

June: Well, she’s ruining their day!

[ Penelope pop up between them from the floor ]

Penelope: This is my day, so… I bought it from the government, it’s National Penelope Day in fourteen countries. The children celebrate by running into the streets. The Post Office is closed, but I still get my mail, so…

June: Really?!

Andy: Honey…

June: Wow! [ she stands to ocnfront Penelope ] “National Penelope Dat”?! [ Penelope nods ] Well, you know what? The month of June was actually named after me. And, uh, you know what else? Uh, every night before I go to sleep, I take my feet off. And if I close my eyes REAL tight, I can, uh — oh! — I can watch “Toy Story on my eyelids! And… my mom’s a roller coaster, and I was born in the, uh — in the 1930s! [ she begins to tug at the strands of her hair ] So what do you have to say about that, Penelope? Uhhh…

Penelope: Well, I guess all I can say is that: Before I go to sleep, my feet take me off and they go to bed! When I close my eyes really tight, I can watch movies On-Demand. I can choose whatever I want, so… It’s free, because I know a guy. My mom is Six Flags, my dad’s Busch Gardens, so… Whenever I want to, I can turn into a black-and-white movie star from the 1930s…

June: Are you serious?! Are you kidding me right now?!

Andy: [ jumping to his feet ] Why don’t we just go relax and get something to drink, okay?

June: You know what? Let’s go to the bar… I need… drinks… [ she points a finger at Penelope ] Do NOT come with us!

Andy: Let’s just go.

[ they exit to the next room ]

[ Penelope is left standing alone at the table, although she has mysteriously acquired a mink wrap ]

Penelope: I don’t need to go to the bar, because I already had fifty margaritas, so…

[ suddenly, Penelope turns into black-and-white ]

Penelope: I’m gonna get in my black-and-white car now, but I’m not gonna drive because I’m drunk. So… just a little drunk right now.

Announcer: Ladies and gentlemen — Taylor Swift!

Taylor Swift: Oh! Thank you! Oh, thank you so much! It’s great to be here hosting “Saturday Night Live”! I have wanted to host this show… ever since I was a little kid. Staying up past my bedtime to watch Bill Hader and Andy Samberg… [ she sighs ]

Being here is incredible. I’m excited, and I’m nervous, and, you know, whenever I’m feeling strong emotions about something like this… I usually write a song about it. [ a guitar is handed up to her ] So this is what I came up with. It’s called: “Monologue Song (La La La)”.

[ singing ]

“I like glitter and sparkly dresses
but I’m not going to talk about that… in my monologue.
I like baking and things that smell like winter
but I’m not going to talk about that… in my monologue.
La la la
La la la.

I like writing songs about douchebags who cheat on me
but I’m not gonna say that… in my monologue.
I like writing their names into songs so they are ashamed to go in public
but I’m not gonna say that… in my monologue.La la
La la la la
This is… my musical monologue.

You might think I’d bring up Joe, that guy who broke up with me on the phone
but I’m not going to mention him… in my monologue.”
Hey, Joe! I’m doing really well! I’m hosting “SNL”!
“But I’m not gonna talk about that… in my monologue.
La la la,
Ha ha ha!
Ha ha ha!
La la la.

And if you’re wondering if I might be dating the werewolf from “Twilight”…

[ she waves, whispers: “Hi, Taylor!”, and blows a kiss ]

I’m not gonna comment on that… in my monologue.
La la
La la la la
This is… my musical monologue.

You might be expecting me to say something bad about Kanye,
and how he ran up on the stage and ruined my VMA monologue.

[ she sighs ]

But there’s nothing more to say, because everything is okay
I’ve got security lining the stage!

[ two security agents step behind Swift and hold up a profile drawing of Kanye West ]

This is my SNL monologue.
La la
La la la la
This is… my SNL monologue.

La la
La la la la
That was… my SNL monologue.”

Taylor Swift: We have a great show! Kanye West is not here! So stick around, we’ll be right back!

Greta Van Susteren…..Kristen Wiig
Shepard Smith…..Bill Hader
Brit Hume…..Will Forte
Juan Williams…..Kenan Thompson
Karl Rove…..Bobby Moynihan
Joe Trippi…..Fred Armisen
Glenn Beck…..Jason Sudeikis

[ open on FOX News logo ]

Announcer: You’re watching FOX News’ continuous coverage of the 2009 election: End of an Era. And now, Greta Van Susteren.

Greta Van Susteren: Good evening. I’m Greta Van Susteren. It’s hard to believe that only one year ago Barack Obama entered the White House, promising a new era of government, and yet, on Tuesday, it seems that that era came to a bad end. We’ll discuss. But, first, Shepard Smith, to recap Tuesday’s historic events in Virginia.

[ cut to Shepard Smith ]

Shepard Smith: [ giddy ] Greta, on election night, the voters of Virginia spoke loud and clear! The state Obama carried in ’08 is now back in the hands of the Republican Party. I do believe we’ll ALL remember where we were the night Bob McDonnell took back the State house!

Greta Van Susteren: Indeed. Let’s meet our panel. Senior Political Analyst for FOX News, Brit Hume.

Brit Hume: Greta. Always a pleasure.

Greta Van Susteren: NPR correspondent and FOX News contributor, Juan Williams.

Juan Williams: Hello. Great to be here, Greta.

Greta Van Susteren: Former Deputy Chief of Staff to President George W. Bush, Karl Rove.

Karl Rove: Thanks for having me.

Greta Van Susteren: And Democrat and former Howard Dean campaign member, Joe Trippi.

Joe Trippi: Thank you so much for hav–

Greta Van Susteren: [ cutting him off ] Brit, why did the Obama era end so quickly?

Brit Hume: Well, Greta, he had ten months — TEN MONTHS — in office, and he could not find the time to fix the greatest economic collapse in modern times. Or even win ONE of the two wars he inherited.

Karl Rove: Let’s not forget that it was under HIS watch that we lost the King of Pop!

Greta Van Susteren: So true, so true. Let’s take a look back to New Jersey. Shepard, break down the results for us.

Shephard Smith: [ smiling widely ] Greta, it was more bad news for Barack Obama. New Jersey went to Republican Chris Christie, and that was the death knell for the Obama administration. It’s official, Greta — no he can’t!

Greta Van Susteren: Why, the Democrats are already trying to spin this by saying that New Jersey wasn’t a referendum on the ballot. Any truth to that?

Juan Williams: Oh, look, they can say John ?? was an uncharismatic, one-time Goldman-Sachs employee dogged by corruption accusations, whose most memorable in office was a car accident. But I think it’s CLEAR New Jersey thinks Barack Obama was a bad president.

Greta Van Susteren: [ nodding ] Karl, how do you see the rest of Obama’s term?

Karl Rove: Oh, he’s a lame duck.

Greta Van Susteren: Joe Trippi, you’ve been, uh, pretty quiet over there.

Joe Trippi: [ aggravated ] You haven’t asked me any questions.

Greta Van Susteren: [ moving on ] Brit, the significance of Tuesday?

Brit Hume: There are certain indelible moments of triumph in thi great nation’s history: The Moon landing, V-E Day, the Lewisnky scandal. Tuesday was one of those nights.

Juan Williams: [ nodding ] I concur!

Karl Rove: [ nodding ] Same here.

Joe Trippi: Uh, if I could just —

Greta Van Susteren: Uh, I’m sorry, Joe! I’m sorry, Joe! We have to cut away to Fox’s own Glenn Beck.

Glenn Beck: [ twitching wildly ] Thank you, Greta. You know, I couldn’t sleep Tuesday night because, in my neighborhood, people were pouring into the street… and honking their horns… in celebration… of the return of freedom! They were screaming! and yelling! And banging on garbage cans, letting their neighbors know… [ he spreads his arms wide ] it’s safe to come out! That loving America… is legal again! [ he regains his composure, fights a tear, then sighs ] And I love America! Oh and, Greta — I also realized that you could rearrange the letters of YOUR name… [ he approaches chalkboard ] to spell… [ he writes it out ] “A GREAT!” And it was a great night. A gret, great night… [ he places a tri-cormer hat upon his head ] for a great, great nation. [ he walks up to and past the camera in extreme close-up ]

[ return to Greta ]

Greta Van Susteren: Thanks, Glenn. Now, let’s revisit New York’s twenty-third Congressional district, where Sarah Palin and Rush Limbaugh backed the Conservative candidate, Doug Hoffman, as he courageously stood up to the GOP and their candidate, Dierdre Scozzafava. Shep, can you give us those results?

Shepard Smith: I’d rather not, Greta! [ he smiles ]

Greta Van Susteren: Why not?

Shepard Smith: Because it’s just… not… important!

Greta Van Susteren: If you say so, Shep. So, there you have it. A night where the country forever shifted from the left… [ she parts her lips to the other side ] to the right. So, to summarize: Obama loses the ’09 election. For FOX News, I’m Greta Van Susteren, and “Live, from New York, it’s Saturday Night!”
