Weekend Update: Snooki, Stefon & Governor Paterson Sing Christmas Carol (VIDEO)

In a fitting end to the last "Weekend Update" of 2010, Seth Meyers brought out some of the funniest characters from the year to sing a sweet Christmas carol together.

After going over the week's headlines, Meyers introduced his "three closest friends in the world," Snooki (Bobby Moynihan), Stefon (Bill Hader) and New York Governor David Paterson (Fred Armisen) to sing a "Weekend Update" version of "O Christmas Tree."

It was awesome to see our favorite "Update" characters from this season (minus Bobby's equally hilarious Guy Fieri impression) all together, and now we could totally see Stefon and Snooki hanging out. It was especially funny to hear Stefon call Snooki a "drunk leopard" and of course, he worked some tidbits about "jacked elves" into the song.

David Paterson is simply a joke. Paterson has no ability to govern. In fact, "The Democratic Conference: Organizational and Operational Structure Report" is an eyewitness account of Paterson's DYSFUNCTIONAL governing nature while Senate Minority Leader.

Paterson's office was criticized for PATRONAGE, LACK OF LEADERSHIP, INDECISIVENESS and INFIGHTING. Those interviewed in the report indicated that its chief of staff the disorganized Michael Jones-Bey had no management skills, was neglectful in his duties – often boozing it up with staff and coming to the office with a hangover - and should be relieved of his position.

Amazingly, for running such a DYSFUNCTIONAL CHAOTIC office, the disorganized Michael Jones-Bey was picked by Paterson to mismanage the MWBE program at Empire State Development Corporation.

That is the Paterson way - being rewarded for your incompetence

I'm usually a rabid SNL apologist but this was awful. I had to turn off the TV for this sketch. If it wasn't an already lousy Weekend Update, I probably would have left the TV on and suffered through it, but it was too much to bear.

As cruel as it may sound, my favorite is Gov. Paterson. This is hilarious.

how very liberal to make fun of someone overweight and someone who is blind

Making fun of someone who is blind, no good. But for someone overweight, it is your own damn falt.

You know when kids used to say, "That was so funny I forgot to laugh"... Yeah, SNL is like that.
