by Jane Boursaw, posted Dec 18th 2009 3:48AM
'Saturday Night Live' dug deep into the archives for last night's special, 'A Very Gilly Christmas.' Taking center stage was mischievous moppet Gilly (Kristen Wiig), with appearances by Alec Baldwin, Steve Martin and plenty of 'SNL' alumni. Adam Sandler sang 'The Hanukkah Song,' Justin Timberlake competed with Santa, and Candice Bergen did her part for safe toys with 'Consumer Probe.' And we can't forget those infamous Schweddy Balls.
Here are a few of the videos for your viewing enjoyment. Tell us your favorites in the comments below.
Alec Baldwin returning to SNL
by Anna Johns, posted Nov 6th 2006 8:42PM
Alec Baldwin is probably one of the funniest guests ever to host Saturday Night Live and he's making a return visit this weekend. On top of promoting his (freakin' hilarious!) role on 30 Rock, Baldwin is also in half the movies in the theaters this holiday season, including The Departed, Running with Scissors and The Good Shepherd. He'll make his 13th appearance on the show this Saturday, November 11th, along with musical guest Christina Aguilera. Baldwin has been in some classic SNL sketches-- "Cantine Boy" and "Schwetty Balls" come to mind-- so hopefully we'll be treated to a new classic. He makes a great guest because he commits to his roles 100% and he's up for anything.
Also this month, Chris 'Ludacris' Bridges will play the dual role of host and musical guest. His episode airs November 18th.
When SNL was funny... now on iTunes

Remember the good ol' days of Saturday Night Live? You can. On your video iPod, or just on your computer.
This week, iTunes released all sorts of video clips that span the last 30 years of Saturday Night Live. You
can purchase individual sketches, including The Hanukkah Song, Wake Up and Smile, Schwetty
Balls, Motivational Speaker, plus a few oldies-but-goodies like Word Association with Chevy
Chase and Richard Pryor, and King Tut with Steve Martin. There are also all sorts of commercial parodies such
as Colon Blow, Oops I Crapped My Pants, and Mom Jeans (what? no Clear Gravy?). You
really have to love those sketches, though, because they each cost $2. The collection is by no means complete, but it
looks as though SNL is just getting started. For instance, I didn't see any of the Wayne's World or Church
Lady sketches available for individual purchase. However, those are included on the "Best Of"
compilations that are also available for download, for $10.TV Squad Hot Topics
