I have to admit that it had been a few years since I last watched Saturday Night Live, NBC’s legendary sketch comedy show, but I was compelled to tune in a couple of weeks ago when I heard about Betty White hosting. That episode was the funniest I had seen since the mid 90s and as a result I decided to check in on the season finale hosted by Alec Baldwin.
During the famous Weekend Update bit, Bobby Moynihan took the spotlight, in drag, as New Jersey Shore’s Snooki. Now, I’ve never watched a single second of “Shore”, but I was slightly familiar with Snooki, if only by name and face. Whether or not Bobby nailed the impression or simply did a generic obnoxious New Jerseyite, I’ll never know. Check out the video clip below.
(Hulu clips are only available in the US, sorry
)
Are you familiar with Snooki, the real person, and if so was this a spot-on impersonation?
Aside from this, I think they made up Bobby pretty well. I didn’t spot any mustache or beard

I’ve seen Bobby do that skit before and it’s drop-dead hilarious. I love the pursing of the lips and hair fawning. And I too haven’t seen an actual episode of ‘Jersey (whore)’, but I’ve seen those kids enough on TV to know that they are taking the term ‘hotme$$’ all the way to the bank!
Haha yup!
Attention all: The video wasn’t working properly last week but I’ve fixed it. Sorry for the inconvenience.
