Alec Baldwin bodies Saturday night life
Alec Baldwin got the apology of his dreams on "Saturday Night Live" last night.
A mustachioed American Airlines pilot who looked eerily like the "30 Rock" star stopped by "Weekend Update" to say sorry for kicking Baldwin off a plane on Wednesday for playing "Words With Friends" a little too long.
It was a perfect capper on an absurd week, in which Baldwin inexplicably led off every entertainment news show because he slammed a door shut too loudly on an airplane. Baldwin turned it into the funniest bit of the night on "SNL," calling himself "an American treasure" and lamenting his struggles in the popular "word game for smart people."
Then Stefon, everyone's favorite guide to New York City nightlife, joined "Weekend Update" immediately thereafter. This show got rolling so hard it needed to be retreaded.
It's a little hard to try to explain Stefon to someone who hasn't seen Bill Hader's club-hopping character, so let's just rattle off some facts: Diminutive 1986 NBA Slam Dunk champion Spud Webb gets name-dropped twice. Hader does a perfect Wilford Brimley impression. And Stefon creates the best possible Hebrew superhero: Menorah the Explorer.
But, really, you should just watch the clip. Stefon is going to have one of those big, blown-out "SNL" movies one day.
