"Saturday Night Live" poked fun at Sony and North Korea clash in the latest episode hosted by Amy Adams over the weekend. In one sketch, Mike Myers showed up reprising his villainous character from "Austin Powers" movies to address the drama triggered by Seth Rogen and James Franco's comedy "The Interview".
Channeling his inner Dr. Evil, Myers dissed the hackers known as the Guardians of Peace, "There's already a GOP and they're already an evil organization." He also said that hacking Sony as an "act of war" was not really a smart move. If North Korea wanted to "kill a movie, just move it to January," he deadpanned, adding that Sony "hasn't had a hit since the Walkman."
He also quipped, "Come on, Sony, you think it's a joke to have James Franco assassinate Kim Jong-Un? The man singlehandedly almost killed The Oscars," referring to the actor's critically-panned hosting duty at the Academy Awards in 2011.
Meanwhile, Bobby Moynihan impersonated the North Korean dictator in the "Weekend Update". He was warned not to but insisted, and refused to back down even after he was targeted with a red laser. More lasers appeared on his chest, and that's when he conceded, "I'm not Bobby Moynihan, I'm Seth Rogen."
