Ep 7. Amy Adams/Vampire Weekend

In season 33, episode 7 of Saturday Night Live, host Amy Adams and musical guest Vampire Weekend take the stage for a night of comedy and music. Adams, known for her roles in movies like Enchanted, The Fighter, and American Hustle, brings her comedic talents to the SNL skits, playing a variety of characters throughout the night.

The episode starts off with a cold open sketch that pokes fun at the then-recent presidential election, with Adams playing a lawyer who is trying to convince voters to switch their vote to Barack Obama. The sketch includes appearances from then-Senator Hillary Clinton and then-Governor Sarah Palin, with a surprise appearance at the end from President-elect Obama himself.

Adams shines in the monologue, where she shows off her singing skills with a rendition of "On The Street Where You Live" from My Fair Lady. She also jokes about her own lack of comedic experience, calling herself the "least funny host ever" and thanking the cast for carrying her through the show.

Several sketches throughout the night feature Adams in various roles, including a mom who is overeager to show off her new haircut, a woman who is convinced that a restaurant receipt is a love letter from her waiter, and a character in a fake movie trailer who is obsessed with high-fiving.

One of the standout sketches of the night is a fake ad for a company that specializes in "digital shorts" - humorous, viral videos that were popular at the time. Adams plays the CEO of the company, which promises to create videos that are "shorter than a TV show, but longer than a Vine." The sketch includes several fake digital shorts, including one where Adams plays a toddler who is surprisingly good at basketball, and another where she sings a song about how much she loves her bizarre hat.

As for the musical guest, Vampire Weekend takes the stage to perform two songs from their album "Contra." The first song, "Cousins," is an upbeat, catchy tune that gets the audience dancing. The second song, "Giving Up The Gun," is a more mellow, indie-pop track that showcases the band's musicianship.

Overall, season 33, episode 7 of Saturday Night Live is a strong episode that showcases Amy Adams' versatility as a performer and includes several memorable sketches and musical performances.
