Joseph Gordon-Levitt was the very energetic host on Saturday Night Live this week. There were far fewer hits compared to last week's above average episode, but Gordon-Levitt went in drag, portrayed the son of the most interesting man in the world, and proved he can perform a very accurate, very jiggly Magic Mike dance routine.
The Magic Mike monologue isn't on Hulu or NBC right now (check it out below while it's still there, or over here), but other highlights included his Tres Equis commercials, Jay Pharoah's perfect Stephen A. Smith impression on Weekend Update, Republican tampons, Ann Romney on Beyoncé, and a closer look at those undecided voters. Click through for all those sketches, plus music from Mumford and Sons.
