TV – Saturday Night Live 2014

The May 3, 2014 episode of Saturday Night Live was hosted by Andrew Garfield, and featured a variety of sketches and musical performances.

The cold open was a political sketch featuring Kate McKinnon as former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Jay Pharoah as President Barack Obama. The sketch lampooned the controversy surrounding Clinton’s use of a personal email account for official business while serving as Secretary of State.

Andrew then delivered a monologue that touched on his British background and his role as Spider-Man. He also took questions from the audience, including one from his girlfriend and fellow actress Emma Stone.

Other notable sketches included a spoof of the game show “Family Feud” featuring the Marvel superheroes, a parody of the reality show “The Bachelor,” and a segment called “The Beygency” which poked fun at the extreme fandom surrounding Beyoncé.

Musical guest Coldplay performed two songs, “Magic” and “A Sky Full of Stars,” both from their album “Ghost Stories.”

Overall, the episode was well-received and showcased Andrew Garfield‘s comedic talents beyond his action movie role as The Amazing Spider-Man.
