Emma Stone was the bubbly host on last night's new episode of Saturday Night Live; she played fellow redhead Lindsay Lohan in one sketch, but was woefully underused otherwise, barely featured in half the skits. The cold open was completely devoid of laughs, but there were sketches lampooning some of our favorites, including a commercial with Brett Favre and his "no fly" jeans, and a solid Weekend Update with the return of Stefon, and Kenan Thompson doing a faithful take on karate-expert Jimmy McMillan, promising "breakfast, lunch and dinner" for everyone if he's elected (we're still hoping for a Taiwanese CGI of McMillan). You can click through to see those segments, plus highlight "Baby Spanx."
