A Message From the Vice-President of the United States

Vice-President Dick Cheney…..Darrell Hammond


Announcer: And now, from a secret location, here is the Vice-President of the United States.

[ dissolve to Dick Cheney standing in front of a secret cave ]

Vice-President Dick Cheney: Hello, America. I’m Dick Cheney. As you know, for the past few weeks I’ve been off in an undisclosed location. Well, I’m here tonight to disclose that location – Kandahar, Afghanistan. Yep. As I’ve always said, if you want a job done right, you’ve got to do it yourself. And, trust me, people, I’m all over this thing. Called in a favor with the Delta Air Force, and got myself dropped off down here, along with 50,000 peanut butter sandwiches. Now, I’m right in the middle of it! Trust me, old Uncle Dick is gonna make sure you don’t have to worry about opening your mail come Christmas! I’m a one-man Afghani wrecking crew. That Northern Alliance they’ve been talking about? Pretty much just me. U.S. Spcial Forces, Commando units? You’re looking at ’em! I’ve been here one week, I personally destroyed ten airports, countless radar installations, and the only Blockbuster video in the whole damn country! Just for fun, I crazy-glued a couple of those Buddha statues back together. And, between you and me, I’ve also shown a few of these women around here exactly what it means to be a gentleman! [ laughs ]

Now, I know what you’re thinking. You’re probably owrried because you heard things about me having a weak heart. Well, I got news for you – check it out, suckers. [ tears open his shirt, revealing a metal device attached to his chest ] I got me a bionic ticker! This thing regulates my heartbeat, it gives me night vision and renders me completely invisible on radar! Check this out. [ presses a button and pours himself a cup of coffee ] I brew my own Sanka! [ laughs ] Oh, yeah.. now, that’s good coffee. And, let me tell you, this ain’t over yet. And I’m talking to you here, Osama bin Laden. I already know these caves like the back of my hand. I know where you live! I’ve been there! I’ve been through your stuff! And, Mr. bin Laden, after what I did, I wouldn’t use your toothbrush if I were you. [ laughs ] You can run but you can’t hide! Thanks to this baby, I can achieve a top speed of up to 70 miles an hour. And when I find you, you’ve got something coming to you, Mr. bin Laden. [ pulls out shaving cream and a razor ] The beard’s goin’!

In conclusion, Osama bin Laden, I’ve got one thing to say – “Live, from New York, it’s Saturday Night!”

Weekend Update with Jimmy Fallon & Tina Fey

Weekend Update with Jimmy Fallon & Tina Fey

…..Jimmy Fallon
…..Tina Fey
Gay Hitler…..Chris Kattan
…..Colin Quinn
Neil Diamond…..Will Ferrell


Announcer: From Studio 8H in Rockefeller Center, this is “Weekend Update with Jimmy Fallon & Tina Fey.”

Tina Fey: I’m Tina Fey.

Jimmy Fallon: And I’m Jimmy Fallon. And here are tonight’s top stories.

In Pakistan this week, anti-American protestors set a Kentucky Fried Chicken restauranbt on fire. The protestors mistakenly thought they were attacking high-ranking U.S. military official Colonel Sanders.

Mark Burnett, the producer of “Survivor: Africa”, says he doesn’t expect current events to limit viewers’ appetites for reality TV, saying, “I feel really confident that people will still be in the mood for crap.”

Canada’s defense minister announced Monday they will aid the U.S. by contributing six naval ships, six aircraft and a special forces unit, although when converted into American numbers, that becomes two canoes and a slingshot.

Cher announced this week that she would not be performing with Britney Spears on the young pop stars November 8th special, because, sadly, Cher has to go back to the shop for repairs.

The two stars actually share a special bond, as Britney’s breasts are made of the same material as Cher’s old nose.

Actor Tom Sizemore says that he is very happy living with his girlfriend, Hollywood Madam Heidi Fleiss. Sizemore says that after a month of dating, his passion still burns for her – as does his urine.

A new book by a German historian asserts that Adolph Hitler was actually a closet homosexual. The claim is based on the discovery of the new Hitler memoir – “Mein Boyfriend”.

Tina Fey: That’s fascinating.

Jimmy Fallon: Well, yeah –

[ suddenly, Gay Hitler walks in front of the Weekend Update desk ]

Gay Hitler: Hi, Tina. Hi, Jimmy. Sprechen sie dick?

Jimmy Fallon: Get out of here!

Tina Fey: Get out of here, Gay Hitler! Go!

[ Gay Hitler salutes, then runs off ]

According to statistics released by the American Society of Plastic Surgery, last year surgeons performed over 389,000 nose jobs, 133,000 face lifts, and 112,000 breast augmentations.. [ pictured: Michael Jackson ].. and it still doesn’t look right.

Bill and Hillary Clinton celebrated their 26th wedding anniversary at a restaurant in New York City last night. She ate at 7:00, he ate at 10:30.

Tina Fey: And now, here to talk to us about what the hell is going on, is the New Yorkiest New Yorker I know, our good friend Mr. Colin Quinn.

Colin Quinn: Folks, thank you very much! This is the first politically-correct war we’ve ever had. What is it called? “Operation Regrettable Inevibility”? “Operation Uncomfortable Necessity”?

You know, in the old days, they would have a war – like, World War II was just the opposite, it was too unpolitically-correct. FDR would get on the radio and go, “Okay, tomorrow, we start “Operation Jap Attack”.. “Operation Krout Killer”. Alright.

But Bush, you know, he’s being very tentative on this one, he’s like, “Look, we’re gonna attack. It’s nothing personal against the Afghani people. Please don’t take it personally, it’s not about Islam. If you’re an Islamic-Afghani, don’t worry about it. If you’re an Afghani-Islamic, then you’re pushing it a little bit.”

But they fired the Head of Security at Logan Airports, and that must be difficult, bringing the guy in: “What did you do on your last job?” “I started World War III.” Alright, we’ll see you.

Algazeera-TV, which had the bin Landen video, and I don’t watch Algazeera-TV – the kids put it on. They had the bin Laden video, and, first of all, all they play is bin Laden. He’s like “Law & Order” over there. At 2 o’clock in the afternoon, 2 o’clock in the morning. Here’s Algazeera, here’s bin Laden, here’s Jerry Orbach, throwing a guy on a chain-link fence. And he was on there with those nerds from the Taliban, you know the three guys with glasses to make him look cool, with four rifles. And, let me tell you something about the Taliban – they all have the wool vests, they never smile, the Granny glasses, they drive 4x4s all the time.. I think the Taliban are lesbians – dammit, I said it!

And also, the FBI warning is starting to bug me. The FBI warning is: There’s a 100% chance of another attack. Guess what? At 100%, you can stop saying the word “chance”. It makes me mad! They say, “Look, in the next three days, there’s gonna be an attack, guaranteed.” So, you know. So what? They want us to pull our ears, to sort of scare us?

And I’m also getting mad, because, first of all, I love the experts. Everyone’s an expert. You understand this, it’s all about oil. Thanks, Professor Chopsky. It’s party about oil, but it’s partly because some people don’t like us having Britney Spears show her stomach at the M-TV Video Awards. That’s part of it, too. Anyway, a lot of celebrities are also doing their part. Dr. Dre gave a millon dollars, and he’s putting out a video attacking bin Laden. Now, I’m not a rapper – and I say that, because people mistake me. But what are the odds that that video rhymes “Osama” and “Yo mama” at some point?

I’m also getting mad because say, “An eye for an eye”. That’s my other thing, all the other people that are well-intentioned, they’re not – they’re self-righteous. And they say an eye for an eye leaves everybody blind. No, it doesn’t. It leaves everyone with one eye.

Tina Fey: Colin Quinn, everybody! Colin Quinn.

Police in India have arrested a man for threatening to kill a tiger he believes his lover from a past life. Well, at least he only wants to kill it.

Tina Fey: Finally tonight, this has been a strange month for all of us here at “Weekend Update” and New York, and all across America.

Jimmy Fallon: So we thought we’d leave you with a little bit of inspiration courtesy of.. wait, is this true?

Tina Fey: It’s inspiration, yes.

Jimmy Fallon: Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Neil Diamond.

[ Neil Diamond appears in front of the Weekend Update desk ]

Neil Diamond: Thank you. Thank you. Thank you, Gina. Thank you, Lenny. You’re both beautiful. Let’s do this, guys. 2, 3, 4!

[ spotlight shines over Neil, as “Turn On Your Heartlight” begins to play ]

“Turn on your heartlight!
Let it shine wherever you go.
Let it make a happy glow
For all the world to see.”

[ Gay Hitler reappears, and hands Neil a long-stemmed rose ]

“Turn on your heartlight!
In the middle of a young boy’s dream.
Don’t wake me up too soon.”

Don’t do it, Gay Hitler!
“Gonna take a ride across the moon.
You and me.”

Jimmy Fallon: For “Weekend Update”, I’m Jimmy Fallon.

Tina Fey: And I’m Tina Fey. Good night, and have a pleasant tommorrow.

Neil Diamond: [ still singing ]
“Turn on your heartlight!
Let it shine wherever you go..”

Dick Cheney: Alright, you heard him. Now, if you’ll excuse eus, I think what the President needs is to lie down. Isn’t that right, Mr. President?

President George W. Bush: [ Cheney’s puppet ] Yes. I would like to lie down.

Dick Cheney: Let’s get you to bed, and no more pretzels for you! [ walks the Secret Service Agents into the hall ] I’m sorry about the false alarm, but as you can see, it was just a matter of the president choking on a pretzel and hitting his head on the table.

Secret Service Agent #2: Tell us what?

Jon Stewart’s Monologue

…..Jon Stewart


Jon Stewart: Thank you, very much I appreciate it.

Welcome to Saturday Night Live. Thank you.

Now first of all uh, I do, I do want to address some of the some of the late night rumors that are out there. There are some rumors that Davewill leave CBS and people wanta know if I would be interested in taking that spot or maybe Dave doesn’t, or maybe I’ll take the spot at ABC.

I just want to clarify, uh uh about those rumors, uh yes I would do, I’d do that one, I would I would do Dave, Leno, Conan anyone who wants to leave. Willard Scott you tired of waving at old people? I’ll takethat I’ll do whatever ya…

I work on basic cable do you understand what I’m saying? I’d like toget some of those spoiled rich guys over to my neck of the woods whereyou still have to pay for your own sodas and your show comes on afterthree Andrew McCarthy movies. Do you understand what that’s like? Andnot the good ones where the mannequin comes to life – the bad ones!

But I have fun, uh I did the Grammys last week but it left me uh uh with a very interesting question

(In a high pitched voice in response to the applause) Thank you.

It did leave me with an interesting question. Are Justin and Britneythe before and Kid Rock and Pam Anderson the after? Does anyone know?

(applause)

Now I’m back in New York and I’m delighted to be. I’ve lived herefifteen years and I love it here.

(applause)Yea! Hooray for having an apartment!

Uh I still feel safe here ya know, probably because cuz in my apartmentI have that chain that goes from the wall to the door. Cuz you justput that on at night and that just says to the terrorists HEY! You not getting in here unless you … push with your hand ..Pretty hard.

But it’s an exciting time to be in New York Saint Padies Day paradecoming up next week. (lots of obnoxious cheering from audience) Yes,they’re already drunk for it, that’s exciting. The Saint Padies..though it is a little controversial. Gay people are not allowed toMarch in the Saint Patrick’s Day Parade. But let me just explainsomething to you. I know that’s controversial, but gay people are very flamboyant and they can’t march in that parade because you don’t want ANYTHING to distract from the Dignity of that parade. You know what I’m saying?

You don’t want some gay guy checking you out … when you’re whizzing on the side of a building.

I don’t know why people fear the gay agenda. Gay people don’t seem towant all that much. They want to march in the Saint Padies Day Parade,they want to be in the army… Uh they want uh uh march in the SaintPaddies day, be in the army, get married. It’s not that big of deal,why can’t gay people be in the army? What’s that about? What’s thearmy afraid of gonna happen if gay people are in it?

“Private shoot that man!” “uh I can’t sir, he’s adorable”

You know what I think? The army’s afraid of a thousand gay guys withM-16’s going “Who’d you call a faggot?” They can’t be in the boy scouts? I don’t know who the Boy Scouts think they’re kidding. I mean come on! The Boy Scouts is already the gayest organization in America! The Definition of gay isn’t same sex intercourse it’s thousands of young boys in neckerchiefs … eagerly awaiting next years Jamboree.Even The Village People think those outfits are gay.

What are they afraid of? With all the, I mean sexuality is what it is.I mean people can’t convince you to do that. I mean I have a tape of aguy having sex with a piñata! I think or maybe that’s how they get the candy in them. I don’t know.

But it’s no, you can’t talk people in and out of that stuff, you justare what you are, your mind can be changed, your heart can be swayed,your (looks sheepish) penis is very stubborn. I’m telling you!

First Liberty Savings Bank

First Liberty Savings Bank

James Whiteside IV…..Will Ferrell


Voice over: The following is an important announcement from The First Liberty Savings bank.

James Whiteside IV: Hello I’m James Whiteside the fourth, President of First Liberty Savings Bank. This week after 85 years of continuous operation, our bank is finally closing its doors. It’s a sad event for the First Liberty family, but for our customers, a tremendous opportunity. You see our drawers and vaults are literally stuffed with United States currency and by 5pm Friday, every item must go!

Like these, twenty dollar bills, list price twenty dollars each, now just 17.95. Or these, fifty dollar bills. This week only 37.25. If you’re interested in one hundred dollar bills, we’ve got them too, three for 65 dollars.

As you can imagine this is not easy for me. My Great-Grandfather founded this bank in 1916 and to watch it go out of business is breaking my heart. But there is nothing I can do about it. We’ve lost our lease and we’ve got to be out by Saturday so J-Crew can come in. Now let me ask you a question. Have you ever thought of owning a thousand dollar bill? Well do you have 175 dollars? How bout 17 dollars and 50 cents. You heard me, 10 percent down, pay the rest when you can.

You know, when my father stepped down as bank president I tried to tellhim, I’m not the guy! Let’s go outside the company. There are morequalified people out there. I’m not good at this! But it was like I was speaking another language. “Jamie,” he said, “it’s what you’ve always wanted,” NO DAD, It’s what YOU’VE always wanted for me, but I’m not you, I’m ME and you can’t live my life for ME! Only I can live my life, NOT YOU! Maybe now Dad, you understand that!

(looks down sadly, then looks up and continues as if nothing had happened)

This is the 1907 U.S. twenty dollar gold piece, considered by many to be the most beautiful coin ever made. I found a bunch of these down in the basement, three dollars a box. We’ve also got forty tons of mintcondition quarters, halves and silver dollars, there in the dumpster out back with the stock certificates. Let’s see, what else, uh, plenty of parking, free face painting for the kids. That’s about it.Oh, and I’m gay, (sarcastically) sorry Dad.

Weekend Update with Jimmy Fallon & Tina Fey

01k: Jack Black / The Strokes

Weekend Update with Jimmy Fallon & Tina Fey

…..Jimmy Fallon
…..Tina Fey
Amelie…..Chris Kattan
…..Jack Black
…..Kyle Gass

Announcer: from Studio 8H in Rockefeller Centre, its Weekend Update, with Jimmy Fallon and Tina Fey.

Tina Fey: Hi. I’m Tina Fey.

Jimmy Fallon: I’m Jimmy Fallon, and here are tonight’s top stories:

The British Royal family finally acknowledged that 17 year old Prince Harry has a problem with binge drinking and pot smoking. They knew he had a problem because every time he was referred to as the ‘Royal Highness’ he giggled.

Larry King has signed a 56 million dollar deal with CNN. The broadcaster is now financially set for the rest of his wives.

This week ABC declined to air a 25th Anniversary special on their ground-breaking mini-series ‘Roots’. The decision not to run the special was made by ABC network programming executive, The Man.

For those of you who don’t remember, ‘Roots’, it follows a saga of Kunta Kinte from young African tribesman, to slavery, to becoming literate, and eventually being the top of his class at Star Fleet Academy.

According to financial reports, the Enron Corporation paid no income taxes for 4 of the last 5 years, because apparently Enron had its taxes done by Willie Nelson.

Tina Fey: You know, I’ve been reading about this story all week, and I figured out that Republicans are geniuses, because they keep their scandals so incredibly boring that people will stop paying attention to them. Democratic scandals have words like fondle, intern and murder. Republican scandals have words like Over-sight-subcommittee-chairman and partially-exempted-multi-lateral-platform. Come on, that’s so boring!!

Basically, the Enron executives ran off with hundreds of millions of dollars, and their employees lose all their life savings. Basic evil guy stuff. Its like tying a woman to the rail road tracks, or trying to take over the world with a laser beam, like the casadine. Also, Enron had all of these shady, foreign subsidiaries to avoid taxes. , and they have 690 subsidiaries in the Kayman Islands. (in Jamaican voice) ‘What do you do for a job man? I braid the white girls hair by the cruise ship, I sell a little weed, and then on the weekend me a SCEO officer subsidiaries Enron’

(Back to normal voice) Now Enron’s accounting firm Arthur Anderson is in trouble because they destroyed several months worth of documents. Ok, in this day and age, how can you not possibly know that if you shred documents your going to get in trouble?!? Its like if your girlfriend says ‘Hey, lets go on the Jenny Jones show, I have a surprise for you’. How can you not know that’s bad? Its not gonna be good.

Then on Friday, Enron fired Arthur Anderson as their accounting firm; that’s gonna be a blow right? To be fired by a totally bankrupt company. Its like Tom Green divorcing Drew Barrymore, you know Drew was like (Doing Drew Barrymore impression) “ So your getting rid of me? That’s amazing”. (Back to normal voice) so now the government is investigating the whole thing, alright. But John Ashcroft had to recuse himself, because Enron donated money to his campaign, same with President Bush, Dick Cheney, Joe Lieberman has recused himself now. The commerce secretary, the treasury secretary– basically the only person in the country without any sort of tie to Enron is that kid out of the Dell Computer Commercial. But I’m pretty sure Steve will get to the bottom of this because he’s a very bright kid. Back to you Jimmy.

Big news in today’s New England/ Oakland play off game as President Bush successfully ate a Pringle.

Friends star Jennifer Anniston suffered minor injuries after getting into a car accident on Hollywood. The other driver had his car totalled, but on the upside he gets to tell his friends he rear ended Jennifer Anniston.

Both: Oh snap!! You didn’t!! Oh snap!! (continually)

This week in Florida a plaque honouring actor James Earl Jones for an upcoming Martin Luther King day event was mistakenly inscribed James Earl Ray, the man who killed Dr. King, its true. According to the plaque designer, it was an honest mistake (shows a picture of a Kloo Klux Klan member holding a plaque)

A new study shows that the Dead Sea is dropping at a rate of 2.5 inches a year. Also dropping at a rate of 2.5 inches a year: Martin Landau’s testicles.

Tina Fey: Interesting science…

Jimmy Fallon: Well that’s–

(A LOUD KNOCK)

Jimmy Fallon: Did you hear that?

Tina Fey: Yeah, I think there’s someone at the Update door. I’ll go get it.

(TINA OPENS DOOR AND A SILENT AMELIE WALKS IN)

Tina Fey: Oh Jimmy, look who it is. Its your friend Amelie from the French film of the same title.

(AMELIE WALKS IN NOT MAKING A NOISE)

Tina Fey: Hi Amelie.

Jimmy Fallon: Amelie, its good to see you. How are you?

(AMELIE PUTS HER HAND ON HER MOUTH)

Both: Awwwwwww…

Jimmy Fallon: Did you say hi to Tina?

(AMELIE WAVES)

Tina Fey: Hi Amelie.

Jimmy Fallon: What did you bring us? What’s that, a spoon?

(AMELIE WAVES A SPOON AROUND)

Jimmy Fallon: Awwwwwww… Is there anything you want to say to the audience?

(AMELIE PUTS HER HAND OVER HER MOUTH AND SHAKES HER HEAD FRANTICALLY. SHE RUNS AWAY)

Both: Goodbye Amelie.

Tina Fey: She is adorable.

Jimmy Fallon: She’s so cute.

Tina Fey: She’s very endearing, very cute…

Judges at the upcoming Winter Olympics have warned figure skaters to keep their acts clean and have banned costumes that give the appearance of nudity or are too tight. Men, however are still free to quote ‘Take it to Bulge City’

Tina Fey: The Red Cross have been reviewing conditions this week at Camp X-Ray, where Al Kyda and Taliban prisoners are being held. Here with an opinion is Jimmy.

Jimmy Fallon: Thanks Tina, and no one else. The Red Cross– (looking around) I didn’t hear any applause (Audience claps, so Jimmy throws his pencil). I forgot to press the applause button. They’re just tired of me. (Jimmy laughs). The Red Cross is in Cuba this week and reviewing conditions of a prison camp called Camp X-Ray, and I have an Opinion. (the lights flicker to give an X-Ray effect)

I know as Americans we support human rights, but do we really have to make sure these terrorists aren’t sad? The Red Cross is saying that these conditions are inhumane because they are exposed to the elements. What elements are they worried about, the Tropical weather, Cuban cigars or cool music? I saw ‘Buena Vista Social Club’. By the way, the paper says they are giving them bagels. I know these guys hate Jewish people, but they’re lying in the sun, eating bagels with a smear each day; they’re more Jewish than Alan Sherman. (Begins singing) ‘Hello Moula, hello Ala, here I am at, camp Poulacha-pa-cha-pa’ (stops singing). They also claim that prisoners are in dually restricted in their movements. Hey, I live in a studio apartment in New York city. I can’t even do this (waves hia arms) without knocking something over. I am restricted! Red Cross, if you want to help someone help me. I bet the pubic would rather me have a nicer apartment than have terrorists getting a freaking smoothie! Why are you trying to improve their living conditions? They’re suicide bombers. They hate living conditions. They don’t want to live under any conditions, and if you make them live better, that’s inhumane. I have an Opinion on Camp X-ray (lights flicker).

According to officials in South Carolina, cuts in the states education department may hurt gifted children. Also hurting gifted children: all of the other children.

Fox is making a feature film for the comic strip ‘Garfield’. Meanwhile a very different Hollywood story going on for ‘Heath-cliff’ who was last seen on Sunset Boulevard offering sex for tuna.

Jimmy Fallon: Now here with a commentary on the Middle East, the worlds greatest rock and roll band, Tenacious D.

JB: Thank you James. Hello, I’m JB, this is KG we’re the D. Thank you. Now when we’re not at the crib kicking out the jams, we spend most of our time studying the Middle East’s geo-politics, and this troubled region is the fulcrum of which the Earths delicate balance rests. We piked the brains of the nations foremost collegiate professors in order to better understand these intricate and ancient conflicts, and we think we’ve finally got it sorted out, right KG?

KG: Yeah.

JB: So we’d like to debut this song on which we feel explains exactly what’s going on over there. (KG begins to play guitar) Its called ‘Hornets Nest’

Hornets, hornets, whatcha gonna do about the hornets?

Hornets, hornets, whatcha gonna do??

Hornets nest, hornets nest, the Middle East is just a crazy hornets nest.

Hornets nest, hornets nest, whatcha gonna do??

KG: Pakistan…

JB: Hornets nest!

KG: Taliban…

JB: Hornets nest!

KG: East Sedan…

JB: Hornets nest!

KG: Mongolia…

JB: Hornets nest!

KG: London, England…

JB: Hornets nest!

KG: Miami, Florida…

JB: Hornets nest!

KG: The whole damn thing…

JB: Hornets nest!

JB:

Put on a protective suit.

Dive straight into the hornets nest

Searching for the queen hornet

Sipping the delicious honey

(JB begins to hit imaginary hornets with a flyswat with an American flag stuck to both sides)

AND STOP!

Jimmy Fallon: Sanction, precious, penetrating Tenacious D!!! For Weekend Update, I’m Jimmy Fallon.

Tina Fey: And I’m Tina Fey. Goodnight, and have a pleasant tomorrow.
