John Goodman Brings Christmas Cheer to Saturday Night Live - Seattle Post Intelligencer

John Goodman^[1] returned to Saturday Night Live^[2] to host the show for the 13th time this week, and got into the holiday spirit with the help of fake camels and some whipped cream. Surprise guests included Sylvester Stallone^[3] and Robert De Niro^[4] , who joined the Inside Llewyn Davis^[5] star for a sketch about three lesser-known biblical figures, the Three Wise Guys. Check out some of the episode's best sketches below:
