Matthew Fox hosts Saturday Night Live

Cold Open - NBC Special Report: Joint Press Conference in Amman, Jordan, with President Bush (Jason Sudeikis) and Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki (Fred Armisen) with translator Will Forte. Bill Hader asks the first question dealing with the PM's absence. He gives a funny answer, citing threats on his life, internet service, etc. Maya Rudolph asks a qieston for the PM, which Bush says the PM can answer. The next question was asked by Andy Samberg, I think. Kristen Wiig asks if our security forces have given them anything necessary for security. Flash lights, telephones, borrowing a car with a bomb, artificial limbs, etc. Kenan Thompson asks to name the most significant achievement of the Iraqi Forces. The answer would be the Iraqi National Security Forces picnic in which it was a beautiful summer day with only two car bombings. Live from New York, it's Fred Armisen and Will Forte!
