Watch Saturday Night Live... in 18 Minutes

Many of you probably tuned in to Saturday Night Live this weekend for their opening spoof on the Vice Presidential debate, presided over by Queen Latifah as moderator Gwen Ifill (who pitched that her book was available for pre-order at Amazon, ha!) and once again starring Tina Fey as Sarah Palin (someone get her another Emmy, stat). Here it is again, if you missed it:

But for those of you who turned it off afterwards, too tired or impatient to sit through 90 minutes of commercials and usually mediocre bits, here are the top 3 I enjoyed from this weekend after the debate sketch, with guest host Anne Hathaway. The episode was actually better than average; Hathaway did a great job poking fun at her own mini-scandal this summer in her monologue, and also managed to sing in nearly ever sketch she participated in.

First up: a Mary Poppins spoof (Hathaway perfectly embodies Julie Andrews), where the real meaning of supercalifragilisticexpialidocious is revealed:

Meanwhile, Mark Wahlberg talks to some farm animals. I rolled with laughter only because I didn't realize Mark Wahlberg was so spoof-able. ("Say hi to your mother for me, OK?")

 

The third highlight I picked actually not available to watch (it's Will Forte's song during Weekend Update attempting to run down how everyone voted on the economic bailout), so I'll show the honorable mention, Andy Samberg's digital short with season MVP Kristin Wiig. -- Ellen
