the farewell episode of Janet Reno's dance party zip it just zip it his version of the politician loves to dance and has a stubborn personality making the real woman's Cameo even more surprising [Music] here she busts through the wall and matches frell's impersonation in a hilarious shakeup of this recurring sketch series showing that she isn't too self-serious Reno plays well opposite a comedy Legend she's not the typical performer but the leader shows that she's a good sport that can dish out funny Jabs of her own the Attorney General also sticks around to share an unforgettable

in the last 10 years there I said it please please not my face he intimidates various people for positive reviews including a kidnapped Martin scorsi the acclaimed director is electrocuted until he gives aladine the right answer playing into the dark humor of the segment speak freely it was good it was great it was better than Raging Bull scors sessi is especially game to show up for a movie that isn't even his own playing well off of Cohen's genius the filmmaker shows that he has potential in more comedic roles his final sendoff even includes a few fun references for ciles to enjoy okay very well put him back in the cell with copal no you told me I'd be released well you promised me that Hugo would be under two hours but it was it was actually number 21 Dr Evil in light of evil headlines Mike Myers return to SNL with one of his best movie characters he brought back this villain for a funny cold open about the North Korea and Sony debacle hello I'm Dr Evil I've preempted this program because I'm furious that North Korea and syy pictures have both given evil organizations a bad name Dr Evil's speech feels straight out of an Austin power script complete with some hilarious jokes aimed at everyone from Kim Jong-un to James Franco there are even a few references to the Spy series that spawned this character in the first place what are you going to do next GOP ask for 1 million with some great makeup work the actor disappears into the role once more in a laugh-inducing sketch Myers even gets to make fun of himself with a Love Guru shout out look I saw the interview it was Charming but if you really want to put a bomb in a theater do what I did put in The Love Guru by the end of this scene he proves that he hasn't lost any of his sketch comedy talents number 20 Eminem in a parody of Eminem Stan Pete Davidson plays stew a young man with an increasingly unhealthy obsession with getting his hands on a PS5 throughout the skit we're teased with potential cameos from Dao and even Elton John but these turn out to be fellow castmates Kate McKinnon and Bowen Yang Christmas will be Santa sucks and is dead we already asked you very very nicely and now he's really pissed off but even as the words Slim Shady flash up on stews TV we still can't quite believe that we're seeing the real Slim Shady as he unwraps a PS5 he has some Choice words for Stu this sketch was the Christmas gift we didn't even know we wanted sorry St you number 19 Brad Pit in an interview Dr fouchy joked that he would want Brad Pit to play him on SNL and his wish was their command I'm here are some suggestions that I've heard Ben Stiller Brad Pit which one oh Brad Pit of course in the cold opening for their atome series pit adopts fouche's recognizable voice and mannerisms to address some of the misinformation surrounding the covid-19 pandemic particularly those shared by a certain individual pit even received an Emmy nomination for his Cameo and High Praise from the doctor himself before wrapping up the actor removes his costume to pay tremendous gratitude to to the real Dr fouchy as well as everyone who has been working tirelessly on the front lines and to the real Dr fouchy thank you for your calm and your Clarity in this unnerving time and thank you to the medical workers First Responders and their families for being on the front line number 18 Judge Judy Sher oar's impression of this non-nonsense badass TV judge is one of her best and most memorable recurring characters from her SNL tenure however there is one person who thinks there's still room for improvement mid skit Sherry is interrupted by the one and only Judge Judy who has come as iron fisted Justice to show Sherry what it means to spit fire in the courtroom I've seen enough Sherry get up but I'm get your bony ass out of my chair get up watch and listen Judge Judy's ready to rule if you thought sher's Judge Judy was direct You Ain't Seen Nothing Yet Sherry fights for a piece of the action but she's simply no match for the OG this is Lis I got your back now you got now you got number 17 Ellie keer Ed Helms Nancy Carell and Jenna Fischer when Steve Carell hosted the show in 2018 he made it crystal clear that an office reboot was not in the cards no actually I don't think so it was a great experience I love all of those people but I just don't think it's the best idea I think maybe we should just leave it alone but then it isn't just fans who are disappointed by the news Carell's old castmates appear among the audience to jump on the reboot bandwagon and try to persuade him to think of the money I need that money let's get that money Steve uh I'm sorry Ellie I just don't think it's a good idea you're a jerk arguably though the most hilarious Cameo comes from Carell's wife and former SNL cast member Nancy and their kids who are also Keen to see the show revived um we think you should probably do the show uh honey I just don't want to spend that much time away from you guys well we don't really need you to hang around anymore right he invites his co-stars on stage and we wait with baited breath for the announcement that never comes well at least we got this mini reunion number 16 Leonardo DiCaprio Riding High on his Oscar nomination Jonah Hill is brought crashing back down to Earth when the audience shows more interest in his Wolf of Wall Street co-star Leonardo DiCaprio but although Leo's name is mentioned several times it doesn't seem probable that he would suddenly walk out onto the 8h stage but we need a real actor like you okay that's making his one and only appearance on the show the Oscar winning actor calls Hill out for acting like a big shot what did we say about acting like a big shot in public like this we said that like like I shouldn't do it like I shouldn't be whatever right and what should you do instead just like try to like be the best version of me or whatever he tops off his memorable Cameo by reenacting one of Titanic's most iconic moments how has Lee never hosted before quick someone get Lauren Michaels on the phone number 15 Chappelle Chris Rock and Tracy Morgan hosting for the first time since 1984 Eddie Murphy emerged onto the stage while the audience enthusiastically chanted his name naturally such a momentous occasion couldn't pass by without some surprise appearances which is why we were thrilled when he was joined by comedy icons Tracy Morgan Chris Rock and Dave Chappelle hey oh my God St St ladies and gentlemen after some First Rate banter including a lizo shout out these Cameo comedy icons pay tribute to the comedian who paved the way for their own careers especially Chappelle who says he's been following Murphy's blueprint very closely you know I followed your blueprint for my entire career did you yeah yeah I became the biggest star in television and then I quit joined by Keenan at the end we get to Rebel in some of comedy's finest entertainers number 14 Arnold Schwarzenegger Dana Carvey and Kevin Nan's popular recurring skit featured Hans and frons two Austrian bodybuilding enthusiasts who are more about the flex than the fitness they idolize their cousin Arnold Schwarzenegger who usually appears in the form of a cardboard cutout in the background however the real schwarzen Egger joined the show for a surprise Cameo too in one skit he invites the pair to give a fitness pep talk to some kids but it soon becomes apparent that they're simply clueless if you continue on this way I'm going to twist your flap into the shape of a pacifier and I'm going to have you suck on it until you poop in your diapers huh how about that not only does he take the wind out of their sales he also shows them how it's done number 13 Brian Cranston after the 2016 election it often felt like reality was imitating fiction that's why it seemed rather fitting that SNL would turn to fictional TV to send up some of the unusual choices who were joining the new cabinet Walter White is brought out of retirement to become the new head of the DEA upon Steve bannon's recommendation oh yeah Steve's the best we've had some times he explains how his credentials are really no different than those of his new colleagues even faking his own death the skit is peppered with plenty of hilarious Breaking Bad references and his countless witty quips have us cracking up every single time the top companies in the country had been knocking on his door for years but he never answered well I am the one who knocks number 12 the five timr Club when Justin Timberlake made it to the five timers Club of celebrities who've hosted SNL five times or more the show resurrected an occasionally recurring skit that pictures the club as an actual Club of the members only variety this time the show pulled out all the stops and featured cameos from no less than eight people Paul Simon Steve Martin Chevy Chase Martin Short Dan akroy Alec Baldwin Candace Bergen and Tom Tom Hanks all made appearances the bit about the club members entertaining themselves by forcing current SNL players to fight each other to the death is a particularly funny one G his eyes ter number 11 Alec Baldwin after the first televised debate of the 2016 US presidential election SNL came to rely on surprise appearances from perennial host and guest star Alec Baldwin to do comedic Justice to the resort mogul's over-the-top personality and distinctive speech patterns our job are fleeing this country they're going to Mexico they're going to Gina at times Donald Trump can seem like an impossible man to parody but Baldwin always delivers the goods walking a fine line between the real president's outrageous actions and the Winking zaniness of a great SNL parody trust me I know things are as the locals say despacito no matter how many times he reprises the role we never get tired of watching this master Trump Trump satirist at work especially when he shares the screen with Melissa McCarthy as Shan Spicer I'm here to swallow gum and I'm here to take n number 10 Barry Gibb in a recurring sketch that answers the question what if Barry Gibb hosted a political talk show Jimmy Fallon played the titular character with Justin Timberlake as his brother Robin inviting politicians and newsmakers for interviews is great but of course what is a show starring 2third of the BS without some music a around 10 years following the sketch's debut the real Barry Gibb makes a surprise appearance joining the others to sing at the end of the [Music] [Applause] segment it was certainly an exciting moment for be's fans and we get to see Barry's humorous side too number nine Matt Damon Brett Kavanaugh Supreme Court hearing was so bizarre that it didn't require a huge leap from fact to satire we all saw the SNL material practically right itself so the only question left was who would play the beer loving nominee let me tell you this I'm going to start at an 11 I'm going to take it to about a 15 real quick Matt Damon delivers a faultless performance mirroring some of the hearing's more peculiar moments from kavanagh's constant sniffing and weird calendars to his intense mood swings and inexplicable rage reportedly Damon was only brought on board the night before the sketch was set to air still the payoff speaks for itself we're almost sorry it was only a oneoff occasion and everyone can relate to that number eight Paul McCartney two of Saturday night Live's most popular hosts Steve Martin and Alec Baldwin who have hosted the show a combined total of more than 30 times to date waggle their egos at each other in this 20 6 skit each trying to prove that theirs has been the more illustrious hosting career of the two 14 wait let's see October 23rd 1976 Fe 267 seeing the two host together is entertaining enough and seeing Martin Short as a waiter only adds to the fun but it's Paul McCartney's wordless appearance that really steals the show not even Steve Martin's quick joke can hide both actors genuine surprise at seeing Sir Paul up close and personal it is Paul Simon number seven Larry David back in 2015 SNL decided to send up the Democratic presidential primary candidates with a couple of special guest Impressions although this cold open also featured Alec Baldwin as Virginia senator Jim Webb Larry David stole the show with his cantankerous scowling Bernie Sanders impression we're doomed we need a revolution his spot-on Cameo appearance as the famous US senator was such AIG big hit with audiences that the Kier enthusiasm comedian has Revisited it several times since then and even appeared alongside the actual Bernie Sanders in a later sketch we need to unite and work together if we're all going to get through this sounds like socialism to me for SNL viewers it came as no big surprise when the two later found out they were related by blood number six Sarah Palin this cold open featuring Tina Fay's popular Sarah Palin impression starts innocently with Fay as Palin taking questions from the press and giving typically silly answers but then it cuts to a cameo Montage of people criticizing Lauren Michaels for leading with the bit including Mark Wahlberg Alec Baldwin and finally Sarah Palin herself but I feel I must say this you are way hotter in person Fay is eventually notified that the actual Sarah Palin will be taking the stage and Bows out so that Palin herself can kick things off live from New York it's Saturday night it's a quick tight bit with an unexpected twist much like the time Hillary Clinton visited Kate McKinnon I just realized I never checked your ID ID come on please number five Madonna musical guest Lady Gaga showed off her sketch comedy chops in this classic segment which sees the singer joined on the stage by pop meast star and SNL favorite Madonna in A surprise Cameo appearance I think you know the two play vicious and self-absorbed versions of themselves trading venomous insults with each other as they try and fail to get along and perform together for the deep house dish music program The Skit packs in a flurry of subtle references to both singers and pop music fame in general what kind of a name is Lady goag it sounds like baby food the kind of number one on the B years later the two stars actually would have a public disagreement but that Feud never reached the laugh out loud Heights of this 2009 gem number four Alex tbec Will Ferrell's Mega popular skits featured the future elf actor is a worn out frustrated version of Jeopardy game show host Alex tbec with three clueless celebrities played by cast members and guests taking the podium to answer simple pieces of trivia in the form of a question of Simon and Garfunkle the one that is not Garfunkle I gar funed your mother darl Hammond's foulmouthed Sean connory is the first thing most people remember about it but the last of the regular Celebrity Jeopardy segments also featured a surprise Cameo from the real Alex tbec himself and so this was the Final Jeopardy he came off to help send off Ferell from the segment and let Hammond's connory get in a few more off-color Jabs at both their expense well well well two TRC I feel like I'm in a raan brand commercial two scoops of fruit back off Conor I don't have to take that from you number three Barack Obama back in 2007 when Barack Obama was still just a primary candidate for the office of President of the United States he made this typically dead pan Cameo on a skit set at Bill and Hillary Clinton's Halloween party various political guests show up in costume and share a joke or two with the baguer hosts finally a tall slim guest approaches in an Obama novelty mask after the usual commentary from the clintons their guest removes the mask to reveal Senator Obama himself I enjoy being myself I'm not going to change who I am just because it's Halloween well that's that's great it's a great example of the dry sense of humor Americans came to expect from number 44 in the subsequent years of his presidency number two Robert dairo and Joe peshi Jim Brewers recurring the Joe peshi show sketch featured an impression of the famous actor as a violent Maniac similar to his characters in The film's Good Fellas and casino who used any perceived Slate from his guests as an excuse to assault them take care why I'm not going anywhere there you are the segment also often used special guests to play Robert dairo who would validate pes's anger and join in alongside him so when the real peshi and dairo eventually showed up on the sketch in an unannounced double Cameo the comedic tension was almost too much I'm actually a very calm laidback person the two veteran actors played their herselves to a tea and brought the house down in the process see first thing you have to do is you take the bat you hit them in the knees you hit him in a head understand what I'm talking about before we continue be sure to subscribe to our Channel and ring the bell to

number one barbar and and Madonna SNL studio audience was already delighted Enough by the surprise appearance of Superstar pop singer Madonna on this episode of Mike Myers's recurring talk show sketch but even the Material Girl herself was Star Struck when the legendary Barbara strand popped in all this talk about food I'm getting hungry girl oh my God she entered at just the right time too during a moment when both characters were praising her singing voice the rare Cameo by strand was the result of a last minut it off the cuff arrangement with SNL head hono Lauren Michaels so none of the cast even knew it was happening until it did that's all the time we have I have to go and die now the surprise and admiration radiating from Madonna's face was unscripted totally real and impossible to
