Jon Bon Jovi: Thank you! Thank you, thank you! Thank you very much! It’s great to be back on “Saturday Night Live”! You know, me and the guys have been musical guests here three times before, but, uh — tonight, I’m here as your host. [ audience cheers ] For once, I don’t have to sing for my supper —
Female Audience Member: Sorry! Sorry! Sorry! Uh — does that mean that you — you won’t be — singing?
Jon Bon Jovi: That’s right, dear. Tonight, I’m just the host. I’m here for the comedy aspect of, uh — you know — the show.
Female Audience Member: Oh. Okay. Well —
Jon Bon Jovi: The Foo Fighters are here.
Female Audience Member: Huh. Well, this should be fun.
Jon Bon Jovi: Look, uh — uh — uh — I’m sorry about the singing part, but tonight it’s just about the acting, you know?
Male Audience Member: Right, right! Because who wants to see Jon Bon Jovi sing? I want to see Jon Bon Jovi act! This’ll be the greatest night of my life! [ grabs the woman seated next to him ] Let’s go. [ he waves to Jon Bon Jovi before leaving ]
Jon Bon Jovi: Why do I always have to sing? Why can’t I, just for once, be the host of “Saturday Night Live”?
Voice: Hey, hey, hey, hey! I got a question!
[ Cut to reveal Richie Sambora, guitar strapped around his body, waving his hand from among the audience. The audience cheers his presence. ]
Jon Bon Jovi: Yes?
Richie Sambora: Don’t we have a new album?
Jon Bon Jovi: Yes. Yes. Any other questions?
Richie Sambora: Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.. hey, hey, hey, hey! Come on! [ he stares straight ahead, begins to laugh lightly ] I’ve lost my —
Jon Bon Jovi: Any other questions?
Richie Sambora: Hey, hey, hey, hey! [ still struggling to find his line on the cue card ]
Jon Bon Jovi: [ helping him ] Did I ever consider your feelings?
Richie Sambora: Ah! “Did you ever consider my feelings?” Did you ever consider the band’s feelings?
[ The audience cheers the on-air gaffe, as Sambora laughs along with them ]
Jon Bon Jovi: As a matter of fact, I DID, Richie Sambora! Why don’t we do what we do BEST, right here, right now? Lordy! Help me go to the stage, gentle person!
[ Together, they cross over to the adjacent stage, as the other members of Bon Jovi start up the song “Lost Highway” ]
Bon Jovi: [ singing ] “In my rearview mirror My life is getting clearer The sunset sighs and slowly disappears. These trinkets once were the treasure Life changes like the weather You grow up, grow old, or hit the road round here. So I drive, watching white lines passing by With my plastic dashboard Jesus, waiting there to greet us.
Hey, hey, I finally found my way Say goodbye to yesterday Hit the gas, there aint no brakes on this lost highway. Im busting loose, Im letting go Out on this open road Its Independence Day on this lost highway.
Hey, hey! Hey, hey!
I dont know where Im going But I know where Ive been And Im afraid of going back again. Still I drive, years and miles are flying by And waiting there to great us Is my plastic dashboard Jesus.
Hey, hey, I finally found my way Say goodbye to yesterday Hit the gas, there aint no brakes on this lost highway. Im busting loose, Im letting go Out on this open road Its Independence Day on this lost highway.
Hey, hey! Hey, hey!
Oh, patron saint of lonely souls Tell this boy which way to go Guide this car, you got the keys Farewell to mediocrity. Kicking off the cruise-control And turning up the radio Got just enough religion And a half-a-tank of gas — come on, lets go!
I finally found my way Say goodbye to yesterday Hit the gas, there aint no brakes on this lost highway. Im busting loose, Im letting go Out on this open road Its Independence Day on this lost highway.
Hey, hey! Hey, hey! Hey, hey!
On this lost highway.”

Jon Bon Jovi: – I wnt to thank Lorne, Marcy, and Steve for letting me be here! Who says you can’t go hooooome?!
Bon Jovi: [ singing ] “I spent 20 years trying to get out of this place I was looking for something I couldn’t replace I was running away from the only thing I’ve ever known. Just like a blind dog without a bone I was a gypsy lost in the twilight zone I hijacked a rainbow and crashed into a pot of gold. I been there, done that, I ain’t lookin’ back on the seeds I’ve sown Saving dimes, spending too much time on the telephone. Who says you can’t go home?
Who says you can’t go home?There’s only one place they call me one of their own Just a hometown boy, born a rolling stone. Who says you can’t go home?Who says you can’t go back? Been all around the world and as a matter of fact There’s only one place left I want to go. Who says you can’t go home? It’s alright, it’s alright, it’s alright, it’s alright, it’s alright!
I went as far as I could, I tried to find a new face There isn’t one of these lines I would erase I lived a million miles of memories on that road. With every step I take I know I’m not alone You take the home from the boy, but not the boy from his home These are my streets, the only life I’ve ever known. who says you can’t go home?
Who says you can’t go home?There’s only one place they call me one of their own Just a hometown boy, born a rolling stone. Who says you can’t go home?Who says you can’t go back?

Dane Cook: [ manic ] The NLCS! It all comes down to — [ points his fingers down ] THIS! Nine games! five innings! One strike! It’s the Colorado Rockies versus the Arizona D-Backs! Arizona’s goal? Scoring goals! Baseball goals! Brandon Webb — [ points fingers in Spiderman pose ] schoom! Spiderman reference! And there’s probably a player named Ramirez! Meanwhile, the Rockies haven’t been this good since thye beat Hulk Hogan and Mr. T in the same movie! Todd Helton shouldn’t have a batting average — he should have a batting outstanding! The Diamondbacks versus the Colorado Rockies — I’m pretty sure one of them’s a hockey team! Which one? You’ll have to watch to find out! ‘Cause there’s twenty guys on the field, but there’s only ONE baseball Grammy! There’s only ONE October, and there are 300 of these promos!

But, instead of the French, it’s BASEBALL PLAYERS! From Boston: you got Josh Beckett! Curt Schilling! Daisuke Matsuzaka! But, against the Indians, they’re gonna need more than blankets with smallpox! They’re gonna need baseball hits! Just ask C.C. Sabathia! This C.C.’s not a Music Factory — he’s the PITCHING FACTORY!! Adn the only reservation these Indians care about.. is a reservation.. for the World Series! Ther’s only ONE Play-offs! They’re only ONE October!

[ open on exterior, Amy Poehler’s house. Screen reads: “Amy Poehler’s House, Burlington, MA, 1986.” This sketch is performed with a heavy Boston accent. ]
Amy Poehler: “Dear diary. Mark it down: October 13, 1986 is officially the worst day of my life! Everything is wicked bad and it sucks. School’s a nightmare.” [Amy uses hairspray for several seconds] “Today, I got my period on the balance beam, and nobody told me and everybody saw. Now everybody’s calling me Lamey Poehler. And my mom found my beer in the laundry hamper, and now she won’t let me go to Worcester Center to see Bon Jovi with opening act Cinderella! Now my dream of Jon Bon Jovi seeing me in the crowd and taking me away from this miserable life is ruined! I gotta get my hair higher!”
[Amy uses two cans of hairspray; she uses so much that she passes out, then sees Jon Bon Jovi, dressed in ’80s leather with his trademark long hair, come to life from her poster; the audience applauds uproariously]
Jon Bon Jovi: Amy…Amy…
Amy Poehler: Oh my god, are you freaking serious?! Jon Bon Jovi just came out of my poster! Oh my god, what are you doing here? You have a show tonight! [Jon hugs Amy]
Jon Bon Jovi: Don’t worry, that can wait. You’re upset!
Amy Poehler: No one understands me! I’m afraid my life is gonna suck, even when I’m wicked old, like 30! Don’t even get me started on boys.
Jon Bon Jovi: Ah, boys can be tricky…
Amy Poehler: Yeah, tell me about it. I made out with Kevin Parker, then he told everybody that I smell like Doritos.
Jon Bon Jovi: Look, I’m here to tell you that everything is going to be okay.
Amy Poehler: That’s easy for you to say…you’re Jon Bon Jovi!
Jon Bon Jovi: Hey, growing up was hard for me too! [Amy kisses his hand] Let me tell you a story about Jon Francis Bon Jovi Jr. He wore orthopedic shoes and played the French horn. He was another fat kid who couldn’t stop eating hogies, so everybody in the neighborhood called him Johnny Meatballs. Everything sucked for him too until he threw down that French horn and picked up his guitar. You gotta follow your heart! You gotta find that dream. You have any big dreams, Amy?
Amy Poehler: Yeah. I got some pretty big dreams. I don’t wanna just shop at the Limited, I wanna work at the Limited! And at night, I wanna have people over for beers at my apartment that I rent.
Jon Bon Jovi: Okay! But what do you really love to do?
Amy Poehler: Well, I kinda like acting. I did a monologue at the 8th grade recital and it got a lot of laughs.
Jon Bon Jovi: That’s good!
Amy Poehler: …it was from The Diary of Anne Frank.
Jon Bon Jovi: Amy, have a seat. Now listen closely because I got something for you. 20 years from now, you’re gonna be a castmember on Saturday Night Live, and I’m gonna be the host! Does that blow your mind or what?
Amy Poehler: Wait, you’re gonna be the host?
Jon Bon Jovi: Yeah!
Amy Poehler: Oh…no…okay…that makes sense.
Jon Bon Jovi: Amy, don’t worry. Your future? It rocks.
Amy Poehler: In the future, is Bon Jovi still around?
Jon Bon Jovi: [Looks at camera and grins] Yes Amy, in the future, Bon Jovi is still around. [Audience applauds]
Amy Poehler: Oh my god!
Jon Bon Jovi: Listen, Amy, I gotta go, I have a gig to go to.
Amy Poehler: Wait! Jon Bon Jovi! In the future, am I ever gonna get boobs!
Jon Bon Jovi: …you just keep working on that personality.
Amy Poehler: Okay, but and then boobs?
Jon Bon Jovi: You’re gonna have a great set of personality.
Amy Poehler: Wait! Before you go back into the poster, when will I see you again?
Jon Bon Jovi: I’ll see you October 13, 2007. I’ll look the same, but my hair’s gonna be cut.
Amy Poehler: Wait! Your hair’s gorgeous! Let me take a picture to tell everybody–[Jon goes back into poster] Oh my god! Dear diary! I have a new dream! One day, I’m gonna look in a camera, and I’m gonna scream: LIVE FROM NEW YORK, IT’S SATURDAY NIGHT!

[Opens with a pregnant lady and her husband watching an ultrasound with the doctor explaining what’s on screen.]
Ob/Gyn: And this here. That’s your baby’s head.
Expectant Mom: Wow. [smiles]
Ob/Gyn: Here’s his nose.
Expectant Dad: [frustrated] If you say so.
Expectant Mom: Honey, what’s wrong?
Expectant Dad: What’s wrong? This picture quality is terrible.
[A man in a suit walks in the frame]
Veritas Representative: Ultrasound.[sighs, rolls eyes] For years expectant fathers have been forced to fake interest in crude, low quality, grainy images of their unborn children. Well, not any longer. Thanks to the Veritas Ultrasound HD.
[Expectant dad is in front of a 50 inch HD TV monitor in which he can see live in color the unborn fetus in every detail. He whistles in admiration]
Veritas Representative: We live in a High Definition world. If you could see an NFL’s lineman’s breath in a January playoff game, you shouldn’t have to ask a doctor where your baby’s eyes are.
[Expectant mom and dad sit on a living room couch]
Expectant Dad: I’m excited about being a dad. But also a little nervous. That last thing I need to worry about is the low quality of the ultrasound image. That’s why we made sure our Ob/Gyn had the new Veritas Ultrasound HD monitor.
Expectant Mom: [uneasy] We also made sure he was a good doctor.
Veritas Representative: With 1080p display resolution and a flat panel liquid crystal screen you’ll be saying goodbye to blurry shapes and fuzzy lines. With Veritas you’re not gonna need some doctor to tell you if its a boy or a girl.
[Expectant dad points to the fetus groin on the HD screen]
Expectant Dad: Now, that’s a penis!
Veritas Representative: The Ultrasound HD is the only ultrasound with picture-in-picture option.
[Expectant dad and the Ob/Gyn are enjoying an action movie on the big HD screen while the expectant mom watches the tiny picture-in-picture image of the baby]
Expectant Dad: Whoa! That comes in handy when you want to watch a movie in the doctor’s office.
Expectant Mom: [angry] You don’t watch a movie in the doctor’s office.[she takes the TV remote and changes the fetus image for the big HD screen and the action movie to the tiny-picture-in-picture]
Ob/Gyn: Hey.
Expectant Dad: [looking at the picture-in-picture option] Oh, here we go.
Veritas Representative: And as the official ultrasound of the NFL Veritas offers the future fan option which shows you what your unborn child looks like in the helmet of your favorite team.
[The big HD screen shows the fetus wearing a football helmet. The NFL logo is at the bottom right of the screen]
Expectant Dad: Now that’s something to celebrate!
Expectant Mom: I’m just happy the baby’s healthy.
Expectant Dad: That too.
[Big HD screen shows an explosion from the action flick]
Expectant Dad: Who said having a baby couldn’t be exciting?!
Announcer: “Weekend Update with Amy Poehler & Seth Meyers.”
Seth Meyers: I’m Seth Meyers.
Amy Poehler: I’m Amy Poehler and here are tonight’s top stories.
Barack Obama’s Campaign announced last Monday that they raised $20 million in the last three months. Even more amazing, he did it all with a kissing booth.
According to a poll, Bill Clinton has emerged as an asset in his wife’s presidential campaign, with 60% of Americans saying they’d be comfortable with him as a first husband. While 21% of women said they’d be extremely comfortable with him as a second husband.
Seth Meyers: President Bush on Wednesday vetoed a bipartisan bill that would have dramatically expanded children’s health insurance. Explained President Bush, “I hate kids.” [Audience applauds]
In a preview of a 2008 election battle over stem cell research and global warming, Hilary Clinton on Thursday accused President George H.W. Bush of waging a war on science. Of course, based on previous wars, this would probably just [Fumbles]of…end up creating a war on more scientists. [Laughs] You got it though.
Amy Poehler: Three-time Olympic gold medalist Marion Jones admitted on Friday that she used steroids before the 2000 Olympic Games in Sydney. So let me see, that makes…everyone. Everyone has used steroids.
Seth Meyers: This month, for the first time in 30 years, the Canadian loonie is worth as much as the American dollar. Here to discuss the impact on American jobs is CNN’s Lou Dobbs.
Lou Dobbs: Seth, it’s a pleasure Seth, but I’m afraid I am pretty…I’m afraid I am pretty angry about what’s going on.
Seth Meyers: What’s going on here.
Lou Dobbs: The job of hosting Saturday Night Live was largely the province of American citizens, like Tom Hanks and Johnny Mosley–but not anymore. After Summers spent taking American money by the fistful at the box office, Seth Rogen, the shaggy-haired marijuana enthusiast and Canadian national…he’s at it again! Taking entertainment jobs from otherwise deserving Americans. Course, I should expect no less from your Canadian boss Lorne Michaels, who’s been dragging his buddies over the border for years now. I mean when he hires hosts for your “little show” to put on, is it that hard to go American, Seth? I mean, just off the top of my head…David Brenner, Hal Holbrook, Jill Eikenberry; a legitimate triple threat. Are we so enamored with foreign products that those names aren’t even part of the discussion anymore?
Seth Meyers: No, not for years.
Lou Dobbs: I mean, George Peppard! Why isn’t he on the shortlist anymore?
Seth Meyers: Because he’s dead.
Lou Dobbs: Don’t oversimplify it, Seth. Alright, I’m gonna run some numbers by you. Knocked Up: $142 million domestic, Superbad: $116 million domestic…that’s $258 million out of American wallets going into Canadian pockets where it’s blown on cases of Labatts. I wanna read this quote to you: “When it comes to our broken borders, one always thinks of the fence-jumpers, the Mexicans swimming the Rio Grande to take our meat-packing Jobs. But the Canadians are far more insidious. They can walk among us and no one’s the wiser. The Native Americans had a name for evil hid in plain sight. They called them skin walkers. Well, I call it Seth Rogen…in short, Rogen is an economic Bin Laden.”
Seth Meyers: Whose quote is that?
Lou Dobbs: Well, that is of course excerpted from a red-faced tirade I gave to no one in particular in the bar of Hotel Pierre earlier this evening.
Seth Meyers: Lou Dobbs everyone. Thank you so much. [Applause] He hates us.
Amy Poehler: Anita Hill? Anita vacation!
One of the hottest concert tours in the country now is Miley Cyrus, the star of Hannah Montana. While the least popular? Yoda Minnesota.
Seth Meyers: This week, Senator Larry Craig who initially said he’d resign after being arrested for soliciting sex in an airport bathroom in Mineappolis is now going to stay in office to the end of his term in 2009. This brings us to a segment we like to call “Seth and Amy; Really?!” [Applause, title card shows]
Really, Senator Craig? You got caught having gay sex in a bathroom and you’re going to resume your job? You realize your job is Senator and not lead singer of Wham!? Really?
Amy Poehler: Really?! And really, you know I’m not creeped out that you tried to have gay sex in an airport bathroom, I’m creeped out that you tried to have sex in an airport bathroom. I don’t even like going to the bathroom in an airport bathroom! I mean really!
Seth Meyers: Really! And you oppose gay marriage. What, you think marriage takes the sizzle out of it? I mean really! Or do you think if same sex marriage is legalized, there’d be fewer single gay guys who’d want to have sex in airport bathrooms? Really.
Amy Poehler: Really. In 1989, you pushed for more severe punishment for Barney Frank for his involvement in a gay prostitution scandal. But at least he paid for it! So you’re a Republican who likes dudes but hates capitalism?
Seth Meyers: Really.
Amy Poehler: Really! Huh.
Seth Meyers: And this part is true–you hired the lawyer to defended Michael Vick to clear your name. You know who I would have hired? The lawyer who prosecuted Michael Vick. That guy’s a good lawyer! I mean really.
Amy Poehler: Really. So, in conclusion, you’re gay but you’re a Republican, you’re gonna vote for anti-gay legislation but you’re gonna solicit sex in an airport bathroom. Wow, you do have a wide stance! Really.
Seth Meyers: Really.
Amy Poehler: Wow.
Seth Meyers: Huh.
Announcer: This has been REALLY!?! with Seth & Amy.
Seth Meyers: The Boy Scouts of America said that a painted plastic badge which was made in China is given after tests revealed high levels of lead paint. Even worse, it was the merit badge for eating merit badges.
Amy Poehler: Major League Baseball’s post season started this week, with the New York Mets conspicuously absent despite a lead throughout the season. The Mets face a long and possibly turbulent offseason. Here to comment, Mets manager and general manager, Willie Randolph and Omar Minaya. So gentlemen, the big question on everyone’s mind is what happened? Omar?
Omar Minaya: Yeah…[Omar says no words, other than shrilly stretching out “I…” and “Uh…”]
Amy Poehler: Okay, uh, Willie, knowing what you know now, is there anything you would have done differently?
Willie Randloph: [Willie says “Yeah”, then precedes to speak incoherently while making gestures with his head and shoulders]
Amy Poehler: Omar, anything Willie should have done differently?
[Omar says nothing; he opens his mouth, turns towards Amy and appears as though he’s trying to find the right word to say]
Amy Poehler: Okay, so neither of you have anything to say? [Omar and Willie look at each other and shake their head] So…no message for the fans? No hope for the future?
[The two speak at the same time in the exact same way they did before, saying syllables while trying to find the right words to say]
Amy Poehler: Alright. Willie Randolph and Omar Minaya everybody.
Seth Meyers: A convent in Italy was shut down after three nuns got into a fight. Said God, “Ladies, relax. There’s enough of me to go around.”
The jury in the Iasiah Thomas sexual harassment found the coach guilty Tuesday, and awarded Anika Brown Sanders $11 million. Brown Sanders would have gotten more money, but she’s not a washed-up shooting guard with bad knees.
Amy Poehler: A new study shows that the virtual colonoscopy technique is just as effective as the invasive method. The hard part is getting a computer in your butt.
Ikea has now started selling pre-fabricated houses in England. And believe me, you have never felt so uneasy about having leftover pegs.
Seth Meyers: While the 2008 election is still more than a year off, the campaign is already well underway. Here now with an in-depth look is our former Senior Political Correspondant, Chevy Chase. [Very loud and lengthy applause]
Chevy Chase: [On phone] You’re my son; I love you. You’re going blind? You are doing it right. I gotta go. [Hangs phone up] Good evening, I still am, you’re still not. [Applause] Thank you Bob.
[Reads newssheet upside down] …Oh. In a startling moment during Wednesday’s democratic debate, former Senator Mike Gravel’s head exploded. Then in a chain reaction spreading from one candidate’s lector to the next, John Edwards’ hair parted itself on the opposite side, Barack Obama’s ears flapped uncontrollably, Hilary Clinton shot up in the polls, and Dennis Kucinich simply…vanished, leaving his little blue suit displayed out over the podium.
On Tuesday, Barack Obama posed a plan to eliminate all the nuclear weapons in the world. Noble idea. He also hosts to save the polar ice caps, whales, make love and not war, and to buy the world a Coke.
Let’s take a closer look at the Republican candidates, shall we? [Examines photo of Republican candidates from left to right] Okay then.
As we trail along, we must remember the key states of South Carolina, New Hampshure, Florida and Tennessee.
Former Senator and actor Fred Thompson said Monday that he’d been certain of Saddam Hussein’s Weapons of Mass Destruction prior to 2003’s lead invasion. He added…[Falls asleep and snores] During which his subordinates filed out for pigs in a blanket.
While campaigning out in New Hampshure, Rudy Guiliani stated that his cores for his votes are evangelical voters, because he appeals on religious issues. While Mormons can relate to him because he’s had a few wives, Catholics can appeal to him because his son hates him. Rudy finds the idea of abortion morally repugnant, but feels that women should have the right to choose to divorce him.
Meanwhile, Mitt Romney, pulling ever-so-close in the polls, admitted that his name is indeed Rubber Mittens, and he does indeed comb his hair with olive oil and a fork.
Hillary Clinton’s campaign announced last Monday that her campaign raised over $27 million in the last quarter, much of it legally.
Clinton now leads Rudy Guiliani 51% to 43%. This is causing the former mayor to appear in a soundbite with a surgical mask, shoulders covered in dust, saying “What happened? Call the cops! Am I on camera? Is this thing on?”
