Shannen Doherty: Thank you! Thank you very much! It’s a thrill to be here hosting “Saturday Night Live”. And I’ve had an amazing time in New York this week, getting ready for the show. As some of you may have heard, I had a pretty amazing last week when I got married. And, I’ve had such a great time, that I decided to let them show the video of my wedding, so here it is.
