J.K. Simmons Channels His Mean Character From 'Whiplash' on 'SNL'
TV

The pre-Super Bowl episode of 'Saturday Night Live' also takes aim at the NFL game, mocks beauty pageant, and tells the story of Jay-Z.

AceShowbiz - J.K. Simmons opened "Saturday Night Live" by expressing his gratitude for "an amazing year," citing his critically-acclaimed performance as a "mean, intimidating band conductor" in the movie "Whiplash". He insisted that he's actually very nice in real life.

However, the host became hostile when he had a hard time finding a cast member who could play the drums up to his standards to accompany his performance of snowpocalypse song. "This isn't one of your weird videos!" he yelled at one point. "This is the opening of the show!"

Later on the NBC variety show, Jay-Z got a biopic treatment starring white cast Mike O'Brien and Jason Sudeikis. There were also an NFL skit in the spirit of the February 1 Super Bowl, a sketch that targeted the upcoming Grammy Awards, and a beauty pageant parody in the wake of the recent Miss Universe.
