Yes. Definitely before the dress.
Not sure why he had a mohawk at the end either.

He took off his clothes and was wearing a Little Orphan Annie dress and he sang Tomorrow while showing funny comments on a giant pad.
The mohawk thing was a total joke. Last time he was on, he shaved his beard 3/4 of the way through. This time he just came on at the end with the mohawk and made a joke about the Mr. T skit being cut.

yeah the monologue was excellent - loved that moment when he's in the Annie dress where he stops and flashes his underpants

That's why Leon Russell is on stage near him. Knock down the Chuckie-as-an-old-man thing.
BTW did anyone else not hear Leon at all during the first song and most of the second?

This was the SNL version of Eric Clapton on a 2010s Rolling Stone cover.

tbh I am a little impressed that this bland an episode came in April! Usually they start losing it in January.

I just don't get these shows where Elton John is the host but Tom Hanks is hanging around, killing it.
Like dan aykroyd playing bob dole and 1990s Tom Snyder even though he wasn't the real host.

Why did Carmelo even bother to show up.
― reggaeton for the painfully alone (polyphonic), Monday, 4 April 2011 02:06 (thirteen years ago) link
iirc Aykroyd had a weird superstition about not hosting SNL for years and years and would only do little cameo appearances until finally hosting in like 2003

OK finally watching the episode -- you guys were way too rough on Elton imo, the monologue and the Knights of the Realm sketch were lol
when Will Forte showed up for the ESPN sketch, I wonder what percentage of the audience thought "hey it's former cast member Will Forte returning to reprise one of his running characters" and what percentage never even registered that he hasn't been on the show this season. when I watch the show on demand, NBC's parent company Xfinity still lists "Will Forte, (host name)" as the 2 stars of the show on the menu anytime I pull up a new episode.

what
― jaymc, Tuesday, 5 April 2011 14:10 (thirteen years ago) link
I caught it from Knights of the Realm onward and thought Elton was hilarious
Hanks on SNL reminds me of why I used to like him

i guess i phrased that poorly; Comcast is the parent company and Xfinity is Comcast's rebranded name for their cable service
― Turn My Slag On (some dude), Tuesday, 5 April 2011 14:16 (thirteen years ago) link
OK.
Re Forte, I definitely thought, "Man, I wonder how guys like Paul Brittain feel when the show puts on sketches where more than half the performers are neither cast members nor the host." (Had to do a Twitter search to figure out that was Carmelo Anthony.)
― jaymc, Tuesday, 5 April 2011 14:33 (thirteen years ago) link
He seems like such a decent dude w/a good sense of humor. But his movies suck. It's all been downhill since Bachelor Party.
― GLOWER METAL (GOTT PUNCH II HAWKWINDZ), Wednesday, 6 April 2011 05:00 (thirteen years ago) link
I wish he'd do more comedy that showed his natural style, the way he is on SNL or the way he is with Conan
― VegemiteGrrl, Wednesday, 6 April 2011 05:21 (thirteen years ago) link
yeah it's such a waste that Hanks has made like 2 non-animated comedies in the last decade and one of them was The Ladykillers. he's so ready to be hilarious at any given moment but so rarely takes the opportunity. almost a shame he's too big a star to ever star in a TV series.

Maybe I'm too close to the theater world (or too easily amused) but I thought the Hugh Jackman sketch was hilarious, especially Kenan as Ice Cube.
