Weekend Update: Joke Off
Plot: Jimmy Fallon just couldn’t let his old Weekend Update anchor chair be usurped by Seth Meyers. As expected, Fallon came scooting in to give Meyers a run for his airtime. But the predecessor facing off against his prodigy wasn’t enough — each comedian’s former co-anchor also rolled in. Tina Fey and Amy Poehler took their places behind the desk, launching a joke-off, which saw two generations of Weekend Update reporters buzzing in with jokes about a strip club being in a rather giving mood for the holidays.
Best Line: “Looks like the hottest toy this holiday season is the crumpled $20.” — Tina Fey

Michael Buble Christmas Duets Album
Plot: The halls were decked with celebrity “cameos” as real-life musical guest Michael Bublé took his current chart-topping Christmas album to the next level by featuring some special guests. But the crooner just couldn’t seem to get his sidekicks in line, whether it was a scat-happy Sting, a smitten Taylor Swift, or Russell Brand, who doesn’t actually sing a word. Fallon got to pull out his celebrity impersonations, and Bublé was able to show a little acting prowess.
Best Line: “Now why would an angel want to get high? They wouldn’t need to, would they? They’re already in the clouds, it’s kind of their thing.”
