Helen Mirren

    The most recent live episode was only a couple of weeks ago and it featured host Helen Mirren.  Helen Mirren as you might know is a world famous British actress.  When I found out that she would be hosting the show, I was interested to see how they would include her in the different skits.  In my favorite skit of the episode she plays a woman from the 1800's who wrote a book called Monster, and all of her friends were there to celebrate her book.  During their celebration her landlord walks in to check the pipes in her apartment.  Her landlord was named Frank and looked exactly like Frankenstein who was the main character in the book that she had written.  Frank accuses her of using him as the idea for the monster in the book.  The skit is really funny because throughout it Frank, played by Fred Armisen, is constantly making monster noises that suggests that he is Frankenstein.  Helen  Mirren did a great job on the show.
