Cheers: Brian Williams Is a Riot on SNL

Amy Poehler, Maya Rudolph and Brian Williams by Dana Edelson/NBC

Cheers to Brian Williams for his newsworthy turn as host of Saturday Night Live. We all knew the NBC Nightly News anchorman was witty from his guest spots with Jon Stewart and Conan O'Brien. This just in: The guy can act, too. Williams scored big yuks as a Bronx fireman, a disgruntled CW costar and an underwhelmed Publishers Clearinghouse winner. My only quibble: Why didn't they use him on "Weekend Update"?
