Phil Simms: Great to be here, Jim!
Jim Nantz: Obviously, the NFL is under tremendous SCRUTINY right now, with a series of embarrassing scandals over the past few weeks.
Phil Simms: Well, they’re trying their best to move forward and start taking responsibility for their actions.
Jim Nantz: Accountability! That’s what the NFL is all about. And I think you’ll see that reflected in today’s player introductions. First, let’s meet the Baltimore Ravens offense.

Phil Simms: So let’s get you straight to the field for kickoff, and we’ll see you back here for the Bud Light Lime-a-Rita Halftime Show, featuring Chris Brown and a very special tribute to Pac-Man Jones.
Candy Crowley…..Aidy Bryant Roger Goodell…..Chris Pratt Ray Lewis…..Kenan Thompson Shannon Sharpe…..Jay Pharoah
Candy Crowley: Welcome to State of the Union, I’m Candy Crowley. Tonight, the NFL in crisis. Recent incidents of abuse from Ray Rice and Adrien Peterson have taken a toll on the league. Now, I’ll confess: I don’t know a lot about football. My Sundays are reserved for Candy Time. I read Nora Roberts novels while a crack team of Korean ladies rehabilitate my feet. But even I know that this league is in trouble. Earlier today, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell tried to take control of things with yet another press conference. Take a look.
Roger Goodell: This has been a tough couple of weeks. But in time of troubles you learn who your friends are, so I wanna thank all the people who stood by me. Red Skins owner, Dan Snyder. Michael Vick, and Saints coach Sean Payton for not holding me to the same standard that I held him. I appreciate it.
Candy Crowley: Joining me now are NFL veterans former Raven lineback, Ray Lewis.
Ray Lewis: Let’s talk about this, Candy.
Candy Crowley: And Hall of Fame, Shannon Sharpe.
Shannon Sharpe: Well… thank you, Candy. It is absolutely a pleasure to be here. It really is.
Candy Crowley: Alright. First let’s talk about Adrian Peterson who is under investigation for child abuse. Ray Lewis, you’re a parent. Have you felt you went too far in disciplining your own child?
Ray Lewis: Well, Candy, children need an education. One way for them to receive that is by going to school. You wake up, you feed the child, get the child dressed send them off.
Candy Crowley: Ok, yes, but I’m asking about you. Have you ever used corpral punishment on a child?
Ray Lewis: A child has a book bag, lunch box, brand new clothes, and I provide those things. So, when you’re talking about teaching somebody something, that’s what we’re paying attention to.
Candy Crowley: Yes, but, what I’m asking is, what about you? Have you ever, say, had a legal problem that might have disrupted your time?
Ray Lewis: I know what you’re getting at. And let me perfectly clear. School buses are yellow, or sometimes orange, depending. Bus pulls up, child gets on. Child goes off to school.
Candy Crowley: Ok, Shannon Sharpe, is this a common problem in the NFL? Have you ever had legal troubles yourself with a spouce or child?
Shannon Sharpe: Candy, look, look… I have never had any legal trouble on my own, dating all the way back to 2010 when I did have some legal problem, so yes, yes.
Candy Crowley: Mr. Sharpe, Why is this such an ongoing problem?
Shannon Sharpe: Well, well, well… I believe… Candy, players in the NFL are trained to be aggressive, ok? When you get off that field you’re full of adrenaline, testosterone, painkillers and Budlight Lime. Ok? The NFL needs to calm these players down, you know, maybe have some herbal tea or a soothing light show. The posibilities go to infinity, Candy.
Candy Crowley: Alright. Let’s look at another clip from Roger Goodell, who I think announce more steps that the NFL is taking on domestic abuse.
Roger Goodell: We want to be part of the solution, so the NFL is organising its own ”Take Back The Night” march on October 8th. What this says is ”We Fight Women”. Oh, excuse me, “We Fight 4 Women”. We Fight Four Different Women? I… No? Yeah, of course not… I’m so sorry…
Candy Crowley: Whatever Goodell is saying he’s certainly firm about it. Ray Lewis, I’ve just been told you did have some legal trouble when you were arrested in 2000. Is this a systemic problem?
Ray Lewis: Schoolbus pulls up. The child goes inside.
Shannon Sharpe: Candy, Candy, may I say something?
Candy Crowley: Yes, I’m sorry, Mr. Sharpe, Did your bowtie just get bigger?
Shannon Sharpe: Ok, Candy… this is a society-wide issue, ok? NFL can possibly solve it, so I’m looking forward to all being solved by the NFL very soon, yes I am.
Candy Crowley: Alright. Let’s take a break to sort this out but first, live from New York, it’s Saturday Night!

Sarah Silverman: Thank you so much! Wow… it is SO crazy to be here hosting “Saturday Night Live.” Um… [ she pauses ] I meean, is it really crazy? Everybody always says that it’s so crazy to be here hosting “Saturday Night Live”. I’m a pretty big comedian… It kinda makes ALL the sense in the world!
Uh… tonight is the end of the Jewish holiday Yom Kippur, and, uh… [ a lone audience member claps ] Thank you…? [ she winces ] And I just want to take this opportunity to say to all the Hasidic Jews out there: I promise you, God will mind if you wear a nice cotten blend in the summer. You are being ridiculous!
Anyway, for those of you who don’t know me, um… I guess I’m know as a “blue” comedian, which is… I find that annoying, it kind of bothers me. I don’t think of myself that way. I think of myself more as a… as an IMPORTANT comedian. Anyway, because of this, uh, they had to censor a lot of my jokes after Dress Rehearsal. Like here’s what’s left of my favorite joke. Can we get a shot of Wally?
[ cut to Wally holding up a cue card with everything blacked out except for “Black Guy” and “God’s Mouth” ]
Yeah! Guys, it was such a cute joke! It was totally innocuous. I saw Lorne laughing REALLY hard at it during Dress, like almost too hard at it.
Screw it. Can I just, um… [ she looks around ] Is there like a handheld mike, or a…? [ a microphone is handed to her ] Oh! Thank you. Let’s get real! Come on! This is live television! Let’s go among the people! [ she approaches a young woman ] How are you? Can I sit in your lap? [ she sits in the woman’s lap ] Ohhhh… this feels nice! What is your name?
Lindsey: It’s Lindsey.
Sarah Silverman: It’s Lindsey?
Lindsey: Mmm-hmm.
Sarah Silverman: Oh, um, I’m Sarah.
Lindsey: Hi!
Sarah Silverman: You know that. Uh, Lindsey, I want to tell you something that’s really important: You’re beautiful… and you… deserve love… and… I hope that you are as kind to yourself as you are to any schmo on the street. Um… and I love you.
Lindsey: [ she chokes ] Thank you…!
Sarah Silverman: Your turn.
Lindsey: [ laughing ] You’re amazing?
Sarah Silverman: Aww.
Lindsey: And you’re beautiful.
Sarah Silverman: Awwwww!
Lindsey: And you’re smart! [ she laughs ]
Sarah Silverman: Keep going. Be creative.
Lindsey: [ laughing ] You’re my favorite.
Sarah Silverman: Awwwww! [ she pushes the microphone closer to Lindsey’s face ] You know what it is, Lindsey, it’s like… I get sad sometimes. Like, I feel like… it’s over… In terms of like I’m never gonna be carried again. You know what I mean? Like, we’re grown-ups. We’re not gonna, you know, fall asleep at our parents’ party and overhear adults going like: [ whispering ] “I got her.” “No, I’ll take her.” It’s never gonna happen again. Amd it makes me sad. It’s like, I want to be carried. I want to be… bathed and cared for. I want to get my hair shampooed, you know, like a… like a little child or a princess, or… a quadraplegic, I guess. Very similar lifestyles, very different circumstances. [ glancing down ] Am I sitting on your phone?
Lindsey: No. No, you’re good!
Sarah Silverman: [ grimaces ] Oh… I want to think of an app! Wouldn’t it be great to think of that million-dollar app? Let’s think of that million-dollar app! God… I was thinking, like an hour ago, wouldn’t it be great if you had an app that told you when all of your friends were taking a doody? I was pretty excited. I would pay ninety-nine cents for that. But then, somebody told me that they have that. It’s like… I think it’s called “Words With Friends”? How old are you?
Lindsey: 32.
Sarah Silverman: You are? Ohh, you’re 32! You’re only little, you don’t know nothin’. Here’s some advice: If you’re ever drunk at a party, and you throw up at a party… I feel like you can save the moment if you can muster like… a “Ta-daaa!” Alright, I guess I should go back to the stage. You keep this. [ she hands the microphone to Lindesey ] You can have that. You can have that!
[ Sarah returns to the stage, as the crowd applauds wildly ]
Sarah Silverman: Ohhh, God… this feels so right! I mean, it’s live. I could stay here. I love this stage. I mean, this is the first time I’ve hosted, but I have been on this stage before. I, um… I was like a featured performer on this show in the 90’s, and… I wasn’t in much, but a lot of times I’d mostly be, like, a “plant” in the audience, you know, asking fake questions to the host during the monologue, and, uh… [ she looks into the audience ] Yes, you — you have a question?
[ cut to clip of Sarah in the audience during Rosie O’Donnell’s monologue ]
Young Sarah Silverman: I think you’re great! I love you!
Sarah Silverman: [ touched ] Awwwww! I love you MORE! Alright, you have a question for me, sweetie?
Young Sarah Silverman: Are you going to be doing any solo albums now that you’ve left Wilson Phillips?
Sarah Silverman: GREAT question! You know, um… I left Wilson Phillips because I felt it really wasn’t my thing any more, and, uh, I’m not sure about a solo album, though the album of my stand-up special “We Are Miracles” is out now. [ the audience applauds, as she looks into the audience again ] Oh — yes?
[ cut to clip of Sarah in the audience during Jeff Golblum’s monologue ]
Young Sarah Silverman: Yeah, uh — What did you feed the dinosaurs?
Sarah Silverman: Uh… [ she laughs ] What is this, Pretty Girl in the Audience Night? It’s crazy! Um… of course, the stegosauruses are the worst, they only eat plants. But the T-Rexes are carnivores — they’d be more inclined to eat you, ’cause you’re delicious! Let’s take a… [ she points into the audience ] Yes, you, Sparkleface over here.
[ cut to clip of Sarah in the audience during Nancy Kerrigan’s monologue ]
Young Sarah Silverman: Yeah, uh… what makes the human knee bend?
Sarah Silverman: Okay. Um… Well, the knee is technically a joint, where the tibia and femur meet. Right? And the bending of the joint is aided by two menisky. I hope that helps, and I hope you stay this curious and strong for the next twenty years. I have a feeling that you will. And maybe someday you’ll even get to say: “We have got a GREAT show for you tonight! ALL of Maroon 5 is here! So stick around, and we’ll be right back!”

Bridget: Well, that’s not what you said when you hugged me last night.
Andy Samberg: You think we’re an item just because I gave you a hug? Trick! You better think again.
Lonely Island: [ rapping ] “We are not gentlemen! Yo! I’ll hug a girl like it don’t mean nothin’ Then turn around and start huggin’ her cousin I don’t love ’em, end of the fuckin’ discussion Got ’em tucked between my wings like Thanksgiving stuffing
She wanna hug from behind – I did it Then her friend jump in; I’m wit’ it I hug ’em tighter than a tube top; After that, it’s just a matter of time Before the other shoe drop.
I get more hugs than Oprah selling drugs And the drug was pure X – no marriage, no sex. Just hugs.”
Pharrell Williams: [ singing ] “Don’t get mad, girl. We get mad girls And we’re hugging all over the world So don’t catch feelings, it ain’t love We’re just the kings of giving out hugs And if you wanna settle down, you know you got us all wrong So we move to the next one, no disrespect, hon But you can’t hug a rolling stone.”
Lonely Island: [ rapping ] “You can’t hug a rolling stone cause it’ll crush you Begging me to hug you again? That’s when I shush you On an airplane, at a Knick game Feel the same damn thing when I hug them Which is nothing Can’t trust them, lose all respect when I hug them
Now guess who’s back in the motherfucking house With a fat hug for your sweater and your blouse Hugged so many ladies, arms shaky and shit Because I’m the Wilt Chamberlain of the upper-body grip. (HUGS!)
Cause I get more hugs than a batch of puppy pugs Sitting on a fluffy rug, getting tickled touched and rubbed (OH SHIT!) Real talk, like you chatting with a fisherman Wrap these chicks up like a motherfucking swisher, man!”
Pharrell Williams: [ singing ] “This ain’t love girl, because this hug world Is just a big Game of Thrones We be king of the castle, got arms like a lasso. But you can’t hug a rolling stone.
I been hugging on your mama Especially when your daddy’s gone Wearing his pajamas I know you thinking that is wrong I don’t care what son does I’m concentrating on her back I just wanna hug your mama in her Subaru hatchback. Put her in a figure-4, yes I’m a hug gigolo Now she tells her tupperware friends to let their sisters know…”
Lonely Island: “…that I give more hugs than Atlas had shrugs (Rest my head on her shoulder) While your man mean mugs.”
Pharrell Williams: “We had fun, girl. But don’t get sprung, girl Just because I hugged you raw We can do a group thing, bring Sarah and Susan And we can have a hug-a-trois. So quit trying to own my hugs I gave you these arms on loan So come give me a hug The waistline and above When push comes to shove You can’t hug a rolling stone.”
