Sarah Silverman worked on Saturday Night Live briefly in the 90s, but returned this weekend as a host in one of the best episodes in quite a while. It began in her monologue where she mentioned her stint on the show in 1993, making fun of her younger self, as well as the show for letting her go. The monologue was an aggrandized victory lap and a giant middle finger that could have been awful and classless but was very funny.
Silverman appeared in SNL’s traditional fake ads. The first was a trailer for The Fault in Our Stars 2, which parodied the over-wrought dialogue and the melodrama, but also worked in Ebola, something more contemporary than cancer. Plus, the World Health Organization called it “Plausible.”
Giving away the title to the second commercial would be giving it away, so I’ll just give you a hint—it’s last hurrah.
Silverman took on the role of her friend Joan Rivers in the best sketch of the night, which found Rivers in heaven, roasting Ben Franklin, Lucille Ball, Ava Garnder, Richard Pryor, Steve Jobs, and Freddie Mercury. Silverman tripped over herself trying not to laugh, especially during her Lucille Ball joke that earned as many laughs as groans.
