Arianna Huffington Stops By 'Saturday Night Live' To Talk Women's News (VIDEO)

First Posted: 02/12/2012 2:14 pm Updated: 02/12/2012 4:46 pm

It's no secret that Huffington Post Editor-In-Chief Arianna Huffington makes a lot of media appearances to weigh in on politics and current events, and between Susan G. Komen's PR nightmare and Ellen DeGeneres' JC Penney spokeswoman drama, 2012 is already proving to be a big year for controversial news items. So "Saturday Night Live" decided to call in their own resident Arianna, Nasim Pedrad, to reprise her role and hash out the headlines for us.

We're not sure what we love more about this bit, the idea of Arianna at a 10,000 Maniacs concert or her crush on Seth Meyers.

You be the judge and let us know what you think in the comments.

Not funny to me, but I don't watch much of this Huffington Post lady, so I guess I don't get it.

Aww that's cute.  I made a comment about how Arianna can't run this website and how our comment page has been down for weeks now and it was removed.  There were no personal attacks and it already went through one round of moderation.  What happened HPo?  Butt hurt?

Here is the latest error:  _("To follow updates, visit http://status.huffingtonpost.com.");

LOL, you can't even get the error message right anymore.

Arianna's name is on the Huffpost,but she no longer owns it(got $300 million for it)- and it has not been the same quality since then.

Except for the fact that part of the deal made her president and editor-in-chief of The Huffington Post Media Group.  That's right, EDITOR-IN-CHIEF.  She is directly responsible for the garbage put out by this site.

... a Little more Lily Munster... ... and, "fat feet" was GREAT!!!

They should have had her character marry a billionaire, then divorce him and grab his money. Oh, that's right, it was a comedy skit.

If I get a crush on Ariana as played by Nasim is it like when I fell in love with the animated vixen (literally a female fox) Maid Marion from Disney's all-animal Robin Hood?

Liked the part about the site copy pasting the news best ;-)

Oh and Comcast should pay for a better wig for Nasim...
