Charlize Theron hasn’t hosted Saturday Night Live since 2000, which was 14 whole years ago and a performance which very few of us actually remember. That didn’t stop her from crafting a monologue out of a sketch from that 2000 show, however. Her singing part in that sketch kept getting reduced and reduced until she realized, “I can’t sing.” Which the writers apparently thought was hilarious because guys, Charlize Theron can do everything: Win Oscars! Star in dramas! Star in comedies! But… she can’t sing. Ha, ha!

The musical monologue pointed out Theron’s other talents while some cast...

Saturday Night Live this weekend was hosted by Oscar-winning actress Charlize Theron, who was there to promote Seth MacFarlane’s latest irreverent comedy, A Million Ways to Die in the West. Joining her as the musical guest was The Black Keys.

Cold Open

Sasheer Zamata and Vanessa Bayer played Michelle Obama and Hillary Clinton, resptectively, in SNL’s cold open this weekend. The two women, who share the experience of being the First Lady of the United States, duked it out over who was the best at the job, as well as who was the superior mother and woman.

Opening Monologue

When Theron first hosted SNL back in 2000 while promoting the Legend of Bagger Vance, the wrtiers quickly learned that the actress couldn’t sing. Playing off her lack of skill, the writers made her opening monologue a song and dance number.

Though Theron held...

While recent host Seth Rogen took nearly five years to return to “Saturday Night Live,” Charlize Theron makes that period look downright short by comparison. Her one and only other hosting gig took place in November 2000, making tonight’s return thirteen and a half years in the making. (To be fair, filming “Aeon Flux” took a lot out of everyone involved with that production, so we can’t fault her too much.) While preferring dramas to comedies in terms of her film choices, Theron does have “A Million Ways To Die In The West” on the way to your local movie theatre. Pairing her with Seth MacFarlane in that film might seem strange, but that’s probably precisely the point. That film sure looks a long way from "Monster" and "North Country." So maybe we’ll see a different performer than the one that graced Studio 8H at the turn of the century.
