Saturday Night Live Pokes Fun Of American Idol Finalists

Saturday Night Live poked a little fun at the American Idol finalists on their Kevin Spacey hosted finale. The opening monologue had Kevin Spacey profess his dream of wanting to perform on American Idol. Spacey then proceeded to sing a song while walking through different steps like tossing the microphone, looking at the cameras, and assembling some wholesome-looking family and friends to sit in the front of the audience.
Spacey’s funniest line was “I would get down on my knees, and I would look squarely into the eyes of that little Puerto Rican judge who’s always drunk, and I would make her cry with my sincerity.” Spacey also rolled around on the floor like Katharine McPhee and then spoofed Taylor Hicks dancing style, saying he would finish the song “as a black person.”
During the Weekend Update segment, a Taylor Hicks impersonator interrupted the news. The Taylor Hicks impersonator spoofed a couple of Taylor’s trademark dancing moves and screamed out Soul Patrol repeatedly. When asked about the finale, the Taylor Hicks impersonator claimed he was going to do what he does best, “sing from the heart and scare the hell out of children.” The Taylor Hicks impersonator also described himself as “a cross between Jay Leno and Fred Flintstone,” and Katharine McPhee as having “creepy long brown hair, the pretty white teeth, and them tig ol’ bitties.”
