On Oct. 15, 2011, Anna Faris ['What's Your Number?'] hosted 'Saturday Night Live' with musical guest Drake.
The show opens with a message from the Mayor of New York City, Michael R. Bloomberg [Fred Armisen], who speaks about the “Occupy Wall Street” demonstrations and suggests protesters may enjoy taking in a Broadway play or visit one of the city's famed restaurants. Bloomberg also notes that the pepper spray used on demonstrators is 100% natural and salt free.
Anna then took to the stage to deliver her monologue saying for Halloween her costume is going to be “an old sick horse.” She then gets stumped by questions from the audience regarding the economy in Greece, world religion and a bizarre “sleepover” inquiry – until a strangely familiar female appears.
Later, 'The Manuel Ortiz Show' features dancing guests and cheating husbands; Lifetime network presents the game show that asks the question 'What's Wrong With Tanya?'; Andy Samberg asks singer Drake questions in several bizarre interviews for an 'SNL Digital Short'; a GOP debate airs on Marriott TV; Seth Meyers makes otherwise depressing news funny with 'Weekend Update'; American students take Japanese culture to the extreme in the spoof 'J-Pop American Fun Time Now'; a young woman [Anna] introduces her strange, new eccentric boyfriend, Cecil [Paul Britain], to her family; two women [Anna and Kristen Wiig] enter a book store desperately searching for the Ferrari calendar that has “friggin' hot guys” posing next to cars; and Drake performs as Nicki Minaj makes a surprise appearance.
