Investor: I’m considering the Reliable Dividend Growth Fund. What can you tell me about it?
Broker: The Reliable Dividend Growth Fund invests in companies with potential for first-time or increasing dividends. We’ve found they’re often a signal for companies in pretty good shape.
Investor: Dividends as an indication of financial health. That’s smart. What can you tell me about midcap, and midcap funds? Does Reliable have a midcap fund?
Broker: Oh, Reliable’s midcap fund generally invests in companies valued between 1 and 15 billion.
Investor: Suppose I wanted to buy an indivudual midcap stock instead of a mutual fund?
Broker: Well, that would be possible, depending on performance. It would offset the risk of your stocks and your portfolio. [ opens his office window and peers out ]
Investor: So, great. I could buy the funds, or go right into a stock.

Announcer: From Studio 8H in Rockefeller Center, this is “Weekend Update with Jimmy Fallon & Tina Fey.”
Jimmy Fallon: I’m Jimmy Fallon.
Tina Fey: I’m Tina Fey. And here are tonight’s top stories.
Bill Clinton’s brother Roger was arrested this week for drunk driving in California and then was thrown out of a restaurant after threatening the doorman. Despite all this, Roger Clinton is still the least embarrassing member of the family.
Before the Grammys this week, Madonna defended controversial rapper Eminem saying that she finds the things President Bush says much more offensive. The President immediately responded, “Yo Bitch, I’m gonna kill you and put you in the trunk of my car!”
Daimler-Chrysler announced this week that they will market a giant S.U.V. called Unimog in the United States. The Unimog is over nine feet high and 20 feet long. The $84,000 truck will most likely be bought by fire departments, constructions companies and men with very tiny penises.
Jimmy Fallon: And now with “Women’s News”, is our own Tina Fey.
Tina Fey: Thank you, Jimmy. Recent studies show that, increasingly, women prefer female gynecologists. Now, as a licensed midwife, which I am not, this issue is very important to me. I, myself, am thinking about switching to a female gynecologist because I think my male gynecologist might be lying to me about being a doctor. ‘Cause last week, I found out that he also works at Foot Locker, which, if he was a real doctor, I don’t think he would have to do that. But his bedside manner is so soothing.. and he gives me wine.. and he keeps his van really clean. I don’t know, I want to ask to see his license, but I don’t want to seem racist. Anyway, I’m not gonna fire him yet. I want to see how the pictures come out. Back to you, Jimmy.
Michael Skakel, a nephew of Robert Kennedy, was formally arraigned Wednesday in the 1975 murder of Martha Moxley. Reached for comment, the 40-year-old Kennedy cousin said, “I didn’t want to be involved in a sex ad death scandal but it was my turn.”
British Researchers at the University of Leicester are piping Duran Duran music into stalls at dairy farms to see if the stimulation makes the cows produce more milk. Reportedly, the cows have given more milk but unfortunately, it all had an expiration date of March 4, 1986.
Jennifer Lopez is now accepting booking for personal appearances at a cost of $750,000 dollars per hour. Or for $375,000, Jennifer will make a half-ass appearance.
Reuters reported this week that a jilted woman pestered her former lover with more than 1,000 phone calls a day for three years. In a related story, I won’t be ignored. Back to you Jimmy.
Gay and lesbian groups slammed Elton John’s appearance with Eminem at this weeks Grammys. In a statement they said, “We are shocked that Elton John would agree to perform in that suit! I mean it looks like contact paper from John Water’s kitchen! Hell-o?!”
Tina Fey: And, finally, for those of you who didn’t see Elton John and Eminem’s controversial duet at the Grammy’s Wednesday night, “Weekend Update” has obtained a clip.
[ clip plays ]
Elton John: [ singing ] “My tea’s gone cold I’m wondering why I.. got out of bed at all The morning rain clouds up my window.. and I can’t see at all And even if I could it’ll all be gray, but your picture on my wall It reminds me, that it’s not so bad, it’s not so bad..”
Eminem: [ singing ] “I’m glad that I inspire you but Stan, why are you so mad? Try to understand, that I do want you as a fan I just don’t want you to do some crazy stuff I seen this one thing on the news a couple weeks ago that made me sick Some dude was drunk and drove his car over a bridge and had his girlfriend in the trunk, and she was pregnant with his kid and in the car they found a tape, but they didn’t say who it was to Come to think about, his name was.. it was you Damn!”
[ Elton John steps out and hugs Eminem ]
Eminem: Thank you!
[ Eminem and Elton John engage in a passionate kiss ]
[ back on the “Weekend Update” set ]
Jimmy Fallon: I don’t see what’s so controversial about that.
Tina Fey: I don’t know, I don’t see what the big deal is. You know what – roll the clip again.
[ clip returns to see Elton John on the floor being humped by Eminem ]
Jimmy Fallon: Oh, man! With “Weekend Update”, I’m Jimmy Fallon.
Tina Fey: And I’m Tina Fey. Good night, and have a pleasant tomorrow.
[ open on a Singles Cruise ship as it departs – two passengers remain seated at the bar as the other passengers are leaving ]
Cruise Director: [ over loudspeaker next to the bar ] On behalf of the Crew of Krisma 2, we hope you had a wonderful time on this very special Mingle & Singles Cruise. Unfortunately, we do require that all passengers leave the bar at this time. [ walks away ]
Conner: [ sighs ] Looks like they’re casting us off the ship.
Lalani: Ya. Ya. I guess we’ve been voted off, huh? Well I certainly enjoyed the cruise.
Conner: Well, here’s to coming as singles and leaving as singles.
Lalani: Well, cheers to that. I’m Lalani, hi.
Conner: I’m Conner.
Lalani: Hi there. So, do you wear the hat all the time?
Conner: Uh, pretty much. Except when I sleep and when I shower.
Lalani: Ah. Is that right? Yeah, I remember seeing you at the disco.
Conner: Uh, yeah, I was there every night.
Lalani: Yeah! Yeah, you looked like you really love to dance.
Conner: Oh, it’s my steam-release valve. If I don’t dance, I got really violent. Do you like to dance?
Lalani: You know, I really do not.
Conner: Alright, that’s too bad.
Cruise Director: [ returns to make second announcement ] For those of who are still finishing your drinks on the outer deck, we’d like to once again ask you to take your belongings and disbark. From the crew of Krisma 2, we’d like to ask you to leave.
Conner: Uh, you don’t have to wait for us..
Cruise Director: Legally, we have to wait for every passenger to clear before we can leave. Giving you a heads-up. Have a nice one. [ exits ]
Lalani: Hey, where are you from? Do I detect a German accent?
Conner: I was born in Scotland.
Lalani: Wow! Isn’t that wonderful? Yeah, I’m part Scottish. But I guess you can tell with all of this red hair.
Conner: Redheads give me the creeps.
Lalani: I can see that. Sure, not for everybody.
Cruise Director: [ returns to make third announcement ] For the two people who are still on the boat, it is time for you to disbark! The crew is given only 45 minutes of shore leave, and some of us need to go home to take a home pregnancy test. [ exits ]
Lalani: Wow! It sounds like someone had a fun cruise, huh? [ laughs ] So, do you live in the area?
Conner: Oh, I live in Reno. How about you?
Lalani: Oh, I live in Boca Raton. Yeah. Boy, we do not live anywhere near each other, do we?
Conner: Looks that way! [ laughs ] And I will not fly, even if you paid me.
Lalani: Yeah. So, did you enjoy the cruise?
Conner: Ah, you know now, not too much. Most of my buddies were drowning in Tang all week, and, uh.. I kind of dreamed about meeting someone – you know, that juggy blonde who likes to get it on all night, you know?
Lalani: Yeah. Yeah, my girlfriend Leslie hooked up right away. She’s really fun.
Conner: I saw her! She’s beautiful!
Lalani: Yeah, she’s a neat girl.
Conner: Ohh.. she’s like a dream girl! I’d love to get my tongue down her throat!
Lalani: Sure.. sure.. absolutely.. why not?
Conner: So, what do you do?
Lalani: Oh, I run an animal rescue group called Sentient Creatures of Boca – it’s S.C.O.B., for short. And what do you do?
Conner: I’m a furrier.
Lalani: Well.. what are the odds of that? That is wild!
Cruise Director: [ returns to make fourth announcement ] Attention, all redheaded women and Scottish cowboys: if you do not exit this boat within the next three minutes, you will be removed by ship security! Thanks a lot! The cruise is now over, and we’re not obliged to be nice any more! Go away! [ exits ]
Lalani: You know there was, there was just one other thing I was gonna ask you, what was it? Oh, yeah – did you have the seafood buffet last night?
Conner: Yeah, as a matter of fact, I did! I was sick all night!
Lalani: Me, too! I was sick all night, too. I am still shaking!
Conner: Hey! [ moves one seat closer ] Did you have it coming out of both ends?
Lalani: Yes! Yeah! It was, like, “Which way do I sit?”
Conner: Yeah, right! I know! Well, I finally solved that by setting a wastebasket on the floor in front of the crapper!
Lalani: So did I! Oh, my goodness! This is funny!
Conner: You know.. I’ll bet we were on the toilet at the same time!
Lalani: Yeah! I bet we were! On the.. toilet..
[ they lean closer and kiss one another passionately ]
Cruise Director: [ leans in from behind the bar ] Goodbye! Goodbye! Get a room, not on the boat! Krisma 2 is not interested in playing! [ grabs a beverage nozzle ] Don’t make me use this!
[ Conner and Lalani finally agree to leave ]
Lalani: Uh.. my Miata is in the lot, so..
Conner: I guess this is.. goodbye..
Lalani: Oh.. yeah. Okay. And.. goodbye..
Conner: I mean, uh.. unless you want to have sex?
Lalani: Yeah.. you know, I’m not so sure about that.
Val Kilmer: Straight up, I want to thank all the cast and writers of “Saturday Night Live”, relaly, really brilliant.
I was actually asked to host a couple of times, but I.. chickened out. Even backstage, I was just thinking, “God, I would just like to be out in the house, or home, watching on TV..
[ Clarence, the angel from “It’s A Wonderful Life” appears ]
Clarence: Well, now you’ve got your wish.
Val Kilmer: Oh, no.. who are you?
Clarence: I’m Clarence, the angel from “It’s A Wonderful Life”.
Val Kilmer: But I didn’t wish I was never born..
Clarence: I know. You wished you had never hosted “Saturday Night Live”. Come with me, won’t you, young man. I’m going to show you what would have happened if you hadn’t hosted the show. [ they walk over to the night’s first stage, The Great Frog Society, where Horatio Sanz, Jimmy Fallon and Molly Shannon sit disapoointed in their Keith Moon, Buddy Holly and Janis Joplin costumes, respectively ] Take a look at this.
Val Kilmer: Oh, they’re sad..
Clarence: They don’t look very happy, do they, Val?
Val Kilmer: Gosh.. they were all so funny in the sketch..
Clarence: Oh, yes.
Val Kilmer: Why are they so down?
Clarence: Well, the sketch about The Doors never made it to air, because you weren’t there to hot the show! [ walks over to the next stage, Chris Parnell leaning against an airplane cockpit set ] And, look, over here. Poor Chris Parnell, he was hilarious in this “Top Gun” sketch during rehearsals, and he would have been even funnier on air when Mr. Steven Spielberg was in the crowd.
Val Kilmer: Spielburg came?
Clarence: Uh, he came to see U.. 2! Uh.. he’s a big Bono fan. Anyway, he discovered Chris Parnell and put him in his next movie, and Chris Parnell became an international sensation!
Val Kilmer: Wow.. Parnell became a big movie star..
Chris Parnell: Is that so hard to believe, Val? [ shoves him ] Jackass!
Clarence: Oh, my..
Val Kilmer: You said that they couldn’t see or hear me..?
Clarence: I never said that! Come over here! [ walks over to Tracy Morgan standing silently alone ] Poor Tracy Morgan.
Val Kilmer: Tracy really looks sad.. Because I didn’t host the show, he wasn’t in it?
Clarence: No.. he wasn’t in the show, anyway. He’s sad because he usually sells weed to the audience and picks up an extra $500. But, see, since there was no show, you know the rest.. [ walks past Chris Kattan dressed as Mango ] Oh, no, here’s the saddest of all.
Val Kilmer: Kattan lookd horrible. Is he that shaken Mango wasn’t gonna be on the show?
Clarence: Well, it was cut at dress, but he’s so upset about it, later tonight he takes his own life.
Val Kilmer: What? Oh, my God..
Clarence: Yes.. No! I’m yanking your chain! But, this one does cry a great deal and wears the costume for days.
Val Kilmer: To the after-show party?
Clarence: No! There is no after-show party, young man. There’s no show, no party, nothing – because you didn’t host!
Val Kilmer: Well.. what happens to me, Clarence.. how does my life change?
Clarence: Oh, I don’t think you want to know that..
Val Kilmer: No, Ido, Clarence! Tell me what happens!
Clarence: Well.. you stay at home, watching TV.. drink a few beers.. order a pizza from Domino’s.. and you eat it and fall asleep, like most people your age! That’s it!
Val Kilmer: Wow.. I do want to host the show!
Clarence: Well, get up there, young man!
[ Val runs back to Home Base ]
Val Kilmer: I feel better already! Well, we do have a great show! [ hears some bells ] Oh, is that Clarence getting his wings?
Darrell Hammond: [ removing his Clarence wig offstage ] No, that means I’m getting ready for the next sketch.
Val Kilmer: Oh, alright. Okay, then, U2 is actually on this show, then? Stick around, we’ll be right back!

Announcer: You gonna buy any Jay-Z for your friends?
Second Old Lady: Hell, no! I hate that music!
Announcer: Can I interest you in a rap album by Jay-Z?
Second Old Man: I hardly think so!
Announcer: What if he raps with Robert Goulet?
Second Old Man: Robert Goulet?! Oh, why didn’t you say so!
[ cut to goulet sitting in his vehicle in the woods ]
Robert Goulet: Hello, I’m Robert Goulet! “Dadoo da dee da!” Do you like good music – I do. Iknow I’mnot afraid to admit it. That’s what makes me sort of a rebel in this biz. Sort of like my very good hombre, Jay-Z, here, and his couderie of ne’er-do-wells. Mmm-hmm. He’s not afraid to slap around the suits if the checks don’t roll in. Just like I’ve never held back my fists in a roomful of industry dagos.
That’s why we burned it up on my second full-length rap-and-roll album. This one’s called “Murder in the Make Believe Ballroom” [ laughs ] I know – too inside. But I can’t resist. Me and the boys here do all of the Jay-Z hits. It’s a cocktail with a splash of Jay-Z and two fingers of Goulet. Here’s what I’m talking about:
Jay-Z: [ singing ] “Gotta a lot of beef, so logically, stay on my toes Gotta a lot of beef, so logically, I..”
I don’t know the words. You take it, amigo..
Robert Goulet: Alright. [ singing ] “It’s the hard knock life, for us It’s the hard knock life, for us!! Steada treated, we get tricked Steada kisses, we get kicked It’s the hard knock life.”
Cut the tracks! Stuff like that. You get the professional pipes of Goulet, and the laughs of the real hustler, Jay-Z. Okay, I know what you’re thinking – Goulet, what industry honcho did you piss off this time to get this gig? But that ain’t the deal-io. These dogs got chops! Bend an ear!
Jay-Z & Posse: [ singing ] “Relax your mind, let your conscience be free You’re now rollin with them thugs from the R-O-C Sigel Sigel in the house
Uh-huh, sick bastard Get your wig pushed back by the wig push-backer
Uhh, uhh, Memph Bleek in the house
Still here, never left Still bust, more or less, still puff – beeatch!”
Robert Goulet: [ singing ] “Who the fluck want one, baby Catch me in the South Beach, baby Out of the reach of the police, gat on my lap Bitch on my back, yak in my pocket, smokin’ that sticky chocolate..”
Yeah, it’s a whole album full of that junk! It’s “Murder in the Make Believe Ballroom”. The posse from the R.O.C., and me, Robert Goulet. There’s no law that says you gotta buy it – but, keep in mind, I’ve been known to participate in a few drive-bys. Oh, yeah – ask Merv Griffin.
Hey, we gotta hit the road and promote this doo-hickey, so I’ll see.. [ bighorn sheep enters ] Wait a darn minute! Is this serendipity, or what? Here comes my old friend, the bighorn sheep! Maybe he needs a little pull on the funny stuff there. Jay-Z? Huh? He’s got big lungs.
[ Jay-Z and his posse hold marijuana joints to the shee’s mouth, cracking up all the while ]
Hey, look – hey, fellas, you curled his horns! Anyway, check out the jams, it’ll blow your mind. Or my name ain’t.. Robert Gou-le-e-e-e-et!”

“Friday night the office threw a Christmas party, they invited me, I started eating rum balls, it was the only food I had that night to eat, Chugged egg nog, Xeroxed my ass, peed on the couch, Kissed the boss’s wife, threw up on myself, and got thrown out. Party on Got my Christmas party on.”
[ jumps over the Update desk and peers into the cameras like Bono did on last week’s show ]
[ parodies U2’s “Beautiful Day” ]
“I put cookies out, hung stockings by the tree, Left the front door open, cause I don’t have a chimney, I can’t get to sleep, Drank hot milk, need something stronger, to calm me down, I can’t wait much longer, Christmas day In my anticipation, Christmas day, I hope I get Playstation, Give me Pokemon and other things, Flood me with compact discs and diamond rings, Christmas day, Santa’s on his way, Christmas day, Here’s what I say, Christmas day, And I love Tina Fey! Christmas day, Toys are on it’s way!”
Tina Fey: I’m Tina Fey. That’s Jimmy Fallon. Good night and have a pleasant tomorrow.
Alex Trebek…..Will Ferrell Robin Williams…..Jimmy Fallon Catherine Zeta-Jones…..Lucy Liu Sean Connery…..Darrell Hammond
Alex Trebek: And welcome back to Celebrity Jeopardy. Because of what just happened before during the commercial, I’d like to apologize to all blind people and children. That said, let’s take a look at the scores. Robin Williams has set a Jeopardy record by buzzing in 2,000 times and never answering a question.
Robin Williams: Yes, Thank you, yes, Jeopardy, yes. [ Walks over to Trebek ] I heal you, my boy you are healed. We have found Tom Selic’s mustache, yes. It’s time to go over here and look at the scoreboard. What do we have here, oh Vana White. Can we turn the letters? She’s making a vowel movement. Yes. Oh, hi, I’m Robert Downy Jr. Robert Downy Jr. wants a recount, yes, and here’s a kid at home going [ whining ]
Alex Trebek: Thank you, thank you. Moving on. Catherine Zeta Jones has no score at all because she’s mostly been talking about her recent marriage.
Catherine Zeta-Jones: Alex, I’d like to say hello to my new baby and wonderful husband. Michael, darling, if you’re watching, the diapers in the bedroom closet and the baby’s diapers are under the sink. I love you darling.
Alex Trebek: That’s beautiful. And finally, Sean Connery’s also here let’s move on to Double Jeopardy where the categories –
Sean Connery: Not so fast Trebek.
Alex Trebek: I really thought that was going to work.
Sean Connery: Well, you were wrong, you mountebank. I pose a conundrum to ya, I riddle if you will
Alex Trebek: I don’t want to hear it.
Sean Connery: What’s the difference between you and a mallard with a cold? One’s a sick duck and I can’t remember how it ends, but your mother’s a whore. [ Laughs ]
Alex Trebek: Wonderful. Let’s take a look at the categories. They are: Potent Potables, Point to your own head, Letters or Numbers, Will this hurt if you put it in your mouth, An album cover, Make any noise, and finally, Famous Muppet Frogs. I should add that the answer to every question in that category is Kermit.
Robin Williams: Thank you, yes, Kermit. Yes it’s like Kermit and John Wayne goin, “It’s not easy being green, pilgrim.” It’s like Schwarzenegger,”Ya, I’m Kermit the frog, ya that’s me, Schwarzenegger Kermit.”
Sean Connery: Boy, you might be legally retarded.
Alex Trebek: He has a point. All right, Catherine Zeta Jones we’ll start with you.
Catherine Zeta-Jones: I’ll take Giraffes for a billion.
Alex Trebek: Let’s just go with Letters or Numbers for 200. And the answer is “five.” Is five a letter or a number? The number five, is it a number? [ ring ] Mr. Williams.
Robin Williams: Oh, it’s a beautiful thing yes, right now there’s a guy at home goin [ motions a remote control w/ his hand ] what the hell’s goin on there, why don’t you change –
Alex Trebek: Thank you. Thank you. [ ring ] Mr. Williams, you already rang in.Robin Williams: Yes, it’s a beautiful thing, though. Monica Lewinsky’s at home goin’ [ screams ]
Alex Trebek: Thank you, thank you, anyone else. [ ring ] Mr. Williams, I hate you.
Robin Williams: But I love you! It’s like Jesse Helms and Michael Jackson going, “Yo quiero Taco Bell!”
Alex Trebek: You are a very sick man. Anyone besides Mr. Williams? [ beep ] Five is of course, a number. Catherine Zeta Jones, sadly, it’s still your board.
Catherine Zeta-Jones: I’ll take TV shows that did stories about my wedding for 300.
Alex Trebek: For the last time, that is not a category. Sean Connery, why don’t you pick?
Sean Connery: Well, the game is afoot. I’ll take anal bum cover for 7,000.
Alex Trebek: That’s An album cover, not anal bum cover.
Sean Connery: I can read, Trebek. That says Anal bum cover. I’ve spent five years of my life trying to invent an anal bum cover, failing to do so is my greatest regret.
Alex Trebek: You have lead a horrifying life. The category is An album cover and the answer is: The Beatles White album is this color. [ ring ] Catherine Zeta Jones.
Catherine Zeta-Jones: Who are the Beatles?
Alex Trebek: I’m sorry, that’s wrong.
Catherine Zeta-Jones: No, I’m asking you, who are the Beatles, I’ve never heard of them. [ ring ]
Robin Williams: Oh, the Beatles, oh yes, what if they were the Volkswagon Beatles? Then they’d be in the back going, “I wanna hold your farfigneugent”
Alex Trebek: For the love of God, shut your mouth. I’ll tell you what, let’s just go to final Jeopardy. And the category is, you know what? You guys just decide. You each ask your own question and answer it. There’s no way you can get this wrong, because you’re asking the question. Ask yourself anything at all and then answer it. You’d have to be the dumbest people in the world to mess this up; and now let’s see how you managed to mess it up. Robin Williams wrote: Nothing. Because he stuck his pen through his own hand.
Robin Williams: Yes, you know what it’s like, suddenly it’s like a Shakespearean actor who’s gay going, “Tell us for york I” [ Trebek grabs pen and sticks it deeper into Williams’ hand ]
Alex Trebek: Don’t ever come here again. Catherine Zeta Jones, asked herself this question: What sound does a doggy make? Fine. And you answered: [ Blank ] You didn’t know the answer? You couldn’t answer your own question?
Catherine Zeta-Jones: It was hard.
Alex Trebek: Unbelievable. And finally, Sean Connery asked himself: [ Show half a picture of a horse having sex w/ Trebek ] Ok, I, I think I know where this is going. Let me just see here, [ Looks over podium ] Yeah, yeah, that’s a horse having sex with me. Ok. That’s beautiful.
Sean Connery: Come on, you pansy, let the people see my work.
Alex Trebek: No, we’re not going to do that. Ok, I quit, again. Good night.

Wait! Wait! [ breaking out of character ] I’ve had enough of gold and trinkets and jugs of wine!
Ken Goulet: What? Sergeant, you’ve gone crazy!
Robert Goulet: It’s Captain, Ken! And maybe you would know that if you’d memorized your lines instead of drinking straight Kahlua in the theater bathroom! You’re a drunk!
Wes Goulet: Easy, Robert. He never had the gifts you had.
Ken Goulet: Damn you, Robert! I should never have saved you from drowning all those years ago!

Ken Goulet: Oh! That was long overdue!
Robert Goulet: That’s it! Show’s over!
Wes Goulet: Bobby!
