Perry And Poehler Bring The Funny To SNL's Season Premiere

Saturday Night Live premiered with a bang last night as Amy Poehler returned to host and Katy Perry performed. In case you missed Perry’s nod to the Sesame Street scandal, Poehler’s return to the Weekend Update desk and a slew of guest appearances, we have the videos here!

From Governor Paterson to Justin Timberlake, Tina Fey and more, there were plenty of random appearances during last night’s episode of SNL. Katy Perry was also on hand to perform as musical guest and appear in a few sketches, including one wherein she wears a skin-tight, cleavage revealing Elmo t-shirt, in response to the splash she made this week relating to Sesame Street’s upcoming season premiere.

Kelly put her life-long love of movies, TV and books to greater use when she joined CinemaBlend as a freelance TV news writer in 2006, and went on to serve as the site’s TV Editor before joining the staff full-time in 2011 and moving over to other roles at the site. At present, she’s an Assistant Managing Editor who spends much of her time brainstorming and editing features, analyzing site data, working with writers and editors on content planning and the workflow, and (of course) continuing to obsess over the best movies and TV shows (those that already exist, and the many on the way). She graduated from SUNY Cortland with BA in Communication Studies and a minor in Cinema Studies. When she isn't working, she's probably thinking about work, or reading (or listening to a book), and making sure her cats are living their absolute best feline lives.
