AceShowbiz - "Saturday Night Live" paid a sweet tribute to Carrie Fisher with the help of Tina Fey. The "SNL" and "30 Rock" alum made a surprise appearance during Felicity Jones' monologue in the form of a hologram, donning a headscarf a la Fisher's Princess Leia from the first "Star Wars" film.
"Oh my God, Tina Fey!" Jones exclaimed. "You're in a headscarf. Are you a Star Wars princess?" she asked. Fey replied, "No, I just bought this at Eileen Fisher, they have amazing deals after the holidays." Jones asked again, "Why are you a hologram? Are you like Tupac?" Fey answered, "In so many ways, yes. Except the Dr. Dre that I'm friends with is my podiatrist."
Fey then shared some advice to Jones who was hosting the December 14 episode. "If Steven Seagal can do it, so can you," she said. She added, "All you need to do is go out there and do your best. Don't worry about what the reviews say."
The "Rogue One: A Star Wars Story" star asked, "Does this show get reviewed?" Fey responded with a jab at President-elect Donald Trump, "Yes, way too much. Also, no matter how it goes, the President of the United States is going to say it's sad and overrated. Yeah, the president! It's fine, no one cares."
In another highlight from the latest "SNL" episode, Jones spoofed "The Bachelor" in a sketch titled "Beard Hunk". Beck Bennett played the titular Beard Hunk, who was having conversations with several women vying for his heart.
Raquel (Cecily Strong) introduced herself as "the worst girl in any room I'm in." Vanessa Bayer played a 26-year-old woman who claimed she's "not old enough to vote." Jones played Ashley, who said she had five STDs, but that's not the reason why she got dumped. "I didn't bring a bikini," Ashley revealed. "I only brought a one-piece." And for that reason, she got cut from the fake reality show.
