'Saturday Night Live' Spoofs Hoda, Kathie Lee And Regis (VIDEO)

"Saturday Night Live" took on Hoda and Kathie Lee's infamous love of drinking and Regis Philbin's return to television in their most recent spoof on the three hosts.

Nasim Pedrad played Hoda as the serious host, opposite Kristen Wiig as Kathie Lee -- who wasn't satisfied by a few drinks in the morning. She had a bottle of wine as an IV drip.

The boozy co-host also wouldn't let up on the subject of Hoda's love life and her "imaginary" boyfriend. When Hoda informed Kathie Lee that she did in fact have a boyfriend, the latter said, "Ho-da phone. That Kot-b true."

"Who set you guys up? Was it Make-A-Wish Foundation?" Kathie Lee wanted to know.

She said Hoda's boyfriend was an "electronic device," and sang the tune to "Good Vibrations." She was only too happy to see Regis Philbin (played by Jimmy Fallon) burst onto the set, just one month after his departure from "Live!"

In one of the world's best impressions of the Reege, Fallon told the two, "You can't kill me, I'm like Tupac Shakira!" He pushed Hoda off her anchor chair -- but not before he and Kathie Lee called her "Osama bin Lonely" and "Mahmood Ima-need-a-date."

On Monday's "Today," Kathie Lee and Hoda responded to the SNL parody. Hoda said that she "missed SNL" because she was busy with her "imaginary boyfriend." She added that SNL had fun at her and Kathie Lee's "expense." Kathie Lee defended Hoda, telling viewers that Hoda's boyfriend really does exist. "I have met Jay...He is a sweetheart," she said.

The skit was off mark in that these two women actually do get along well and have a good chemistry together. And, they're both guilty of imbibing on the show. Great impression of Regis by Jimmy Fallon, though.

I can see it now. The next skit is Kathi Lee getting drunk and doing a face plant!

All they needed to add was questioning the (real) show using drawings of much-younger and thinner versions of the nitwits. I think stick figures would be about as accurate

Jimmy Fallon was amazing once again with his Regis impersonation. He has done a ton of dead on impersonations on his own show. It's a shame his talent is burried in the late, late night hours. I hope he leaves NBC for a better time slot when his contract expires. He'd be great in a sitcom.

This skit was hysterical, and the whole show was excellent...one of the best in a long time.

I have never watched this morning show, but have a question for anyone who does: Do they really drink in the morning, and if so...get drunk? Seems like this is becoming a regular parody of them on SNL.

They "sample" drinks, but don't actually get drunk (although they joke about their love of alcohol).

Thanks...what a job...getting paid to sample drinks before noon? Fun for some, scary for others!

I think Frank would have divorced Kathy lee but for that She's got him tied up, handcuffed to a dungeoun bed ducktapped into silence. She feeds him through a straw. Rumor has it.

How could they not make fun of Kathy Lee?! She drinks on live TV, & it's not even noon. Doesn't anyone else agree? Dag!

I chuckled in the beginning, but after two minutes I was ready for the next skit.

The timing was off a little, result of reading cue cards. But, when he pushed her off the chair at the end it was genius\classic, funny.

The skit was a Hoot, Jimmy Fallon was great hosting and in his skits. The show had me laughing.
Hoda&KathieLee take it all in good humor...I think they get a kick out of it.
