Dec. 07, (THAINDIAN NEWS) The latest installment of the “Saturday Night Live Show” cashed in on the hottest story of this month: Tiger Woods. Hosted by the “Gossip Girl” star Blake Lively, the show put up a number of skits, some hilarious, and some mediocre. The musical guest of the show was Rihanna, looking gorgeous in her new short cropped hair look. The high point of the show was, however, the skit that was scripted on the Tiger Woods domestic tragedy. It was by far the most hilarious of all of the plays that were staged.

The show had the character of Tiger Woods played by Kenan Thompson. Blake Lively stepped into the shoes of the distraught wife, Elin Norgreden. The situation was set in the backdrop of a “CNN Situation Room”, with Jason Sudeikis, a veteran “Saturday Night Live” actor, playing the host, Wolf Blitzer. The premise of the script was really funny, with CNN covering the breaking news that Tiger Woods had met with another accident. The news is staged thus so that it acts as a cover for the fact that Elin Norgreden had kicked Tiger Woods’ butt after he had made some incorrect statements in the press conferences.

Although the skit is not likely to make the audience hold their sides with laughter, it was decidedly funny. Really commendable is the fact that the writers actually made the script amusing with witty one liners. The actors were good, with Kenan Thompson at his humorous best, and Blake Lively is passable, although her accent doesn’t quite pass off as Swedish.
