Host Paul Rudd[1] and musical act One Direction[2] weren't the only special guests on Saturday Night Live[3] this week. Alums Fred Armisen[4] and Kristen Wiig[5] returned to the show, and Rudd's Anchorman 2[6] castmates Will Ferrell[7] (also an SNL vet), Steve Carell[8] and David Koechner[9] also made cameos to sing "Afternoon Delight" with One Direction during Rudd's opening monologue. The show also didn't miss the opportunity to skewer NBC's live Sound of Music[10] musical, which aired Thursday. Check out some of the highlights below:
Sound of Music Cold Open: For those who weren't among the 18+ million viewers who tuned in to NBC's Sound of Music Live! this week, here is a condensed version - with special appearances by Armisen resurrecting his Lawrence Welk[12] -esque variety host, and Dooneese (Wiig) as one of the Von Trapp children.
Opening Monologue: Tired of getting outshined by musical guest One Direction, Rudd brings out his "man band" (Ferrell, Carell and Koechner), and everyone joins in on a rousing rendition of "Afternoon Delight."

One Direction Concert Line: Rudd really goes all out in this sketch to play Dan Charles[15] , One Direction's No. 1 fan.
Michelangelo Unveils David[16] : The male model who posed for Michelangelo's sculpture of David (Rudd) attends the unveiling of the statue, and must explain to his horrified date (Cecily Strong[17] ) and other onlookers whether certain anatomical aspects of the piece are to scale.
Santa Meeting: After spending the off-season at a spa, Santa Claus (Rudd) has dropped 150 pounds and has traded in Mrs. Claus for a newer, younger model (Kate McKinnon[18] ). The elves are unimpressed.
