Last week Sony gave into to North Korean threats and pulled the new Seth Rogen and James Franco film, The Interview from theaters, upsetting nearly everyone in Hollywood. So of course Saturday Night Live fans expected to see the subject brought up in this weekend’s episode. However, no one expected Mike Myers to show up as his Austin Powers character Dr. Evil. The not-so-good doctor, took over the cold open to call out both North Korea and Sony for the whole mess. With all the evil going around, we could use a Love (Actually). Unfortunately, SNL cut its parody of the beloved Christmas film for time. However, SNL has released the sketch, featuring host Amy Adams (Man of Steel, Big Eyes) and new cast member, Pete Davidson.
Check out Mike Myers return to Saturday Night Live as Dr. Evil in the cold open:
