Season 27, Episode 8: Hugh Jackman/Mick JaggerOriginal Air Date—8 December 2001Austrialian actor Hugh Jackman hosts this entertaining Christmas installment, with musical guest Mick Jagger. The "cold opening" features Will Farrell as George W. Bush, and Daryl Hammond as Al Gore speaking on the phone, as Gore hopes to negotiate possible new role for himself in the White House. Condy Rice and Dick Cheney listen bored, and Donald Rumsfeld eventually cuts the meeting short. In the opening monologue, after discarding other ideas, Hugh Jackman launches into a heartfelt rendition of "Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas," backed up by the ladies in the cast. Skits include "Jared's Room," the web-cast from dread-locked Jimmy Fallon's dorm room, with Horatio Sanz as his stoner buddy, and Jackman as the nerd in the room next door. Jeff Richards as "Drunk Girl" makes a hilarious appearance on "Weekend Update." Next Jackman plays a doll designer in "Hello Dolly," where he presents some baby dolls doing unusual activities. Soon Jimmy Fallon and Mick Jagger square off through a mirror, as Fallon expertly imitates the rock icon as they both try to decide what moves to use on the program. Maya Rudolph aptly lampoons Donatella Versace, smoking in her bathtub as she interviews guests on her self-promoting show. Jackman plays a hot German male model (who's stayed with Donatella for eight months), and Mick Jagger does an expert Karl Lagerfeld. Lastly, Hugh Jackman recalls his Christmases in Australia, where a boxing kangaroo would visit each year. When Jackman's Dad, portrayed by Will Farrell, failed to best the kangaroo in a bout, the beast would take unfair advantage of the Dad in a rude way. Eventually, the young Jackman and his sister wonder if their Dad isn't purposely letting the kangaroo win. |

The opening credits roll and musical guest Beck and host Tom Brady are announced. Tom Brady soon takes the stage, and is soon joined by most of the cast to sing an outrageously egotistical song about himself. A fake commercial for an alternative to Viagra is show next. First skit then has Tom Brady at a carnival midway trying in vain to throw a football through a hole in the wall about six feet away. After that, Darryl Hammond impersonates Dr. Phil McGraw, and grills insensitive husband Tom Brady because he has no "emotional intelligence." Next is an involved episode of "The Falconer," which has the Falconer and Donald switching bodies. Tom Brady has a small part as a lost hiker. The TV funhouse segment is a mock industrial training film entitled "Sexual Harassment And You." It is filmed in 1950's style, and features Fred Armisen and Tom Brady as office workers who know the wrong and correct ways to approach women in the workplace. Next, Tom Brady appears in a genie costume to promote "Tom Brady's Falafal City," an Indian restaurant that he supposedly owns. Beck performs his first selection at this point. Following Beck is the "Weekend Update," with Tina and Amy, who are joined by a surprise visit by Jiminy Glick, an alter-ego of Martin Short. Next obnoxious and hyperactive "tween" Caitlyn torments her step-dad and her "Uncle Scott," played by Tom Brady. Then comes a fake episode of VH1's "Behind the Music," detailing the phenomenon of the 1985 Chicago Bears and their hit, "The Superbowl Shuffle. Tom Brady plays a head-banded Jim MacMahon. Another Beck performance comes at this point. The next skit features Maya Rudolph as a inebriated lounge singer, with Tom Brady accompanying her in a way not unlike Kenny G. The final skit has Tom Brady playing himself as he is challenged by Seth Meyers as Peyton Manning and Keenan Tompson as Donavon McNabb's mother. Lastly Tom Brady thanks Beck, the cast of SNL, and says goodnight. |
