The performances of "Saturday Night Live" are all live, which is why it is called "live". But this also puts forward higher requirements for the guests and the team of the show itself, and before each official performance, the performers have to conduct a thorough rehearsal.

And on the penultimate Saturday of 2000 (guess who was the host of the last episode?), on the evening of December 23rd, the show finally invited one of the youngest presenters and performers in history.

The prologue of "Saturday Night Live" is a series of pre-recorded opening highlights, and when the prologue is played, the camera moves from the recording to the live studio, and the audience bursts into applause and cheers as always.

On the stage of the small live band, a small staircase leads to the door leading to the backstage.

"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome Britney Spears!" the door was pushed open, and Britney, dressed in a small black dress, walked out picturesquely.

The audience immediately erupted in loud cheers and applause, and the band's music also matched her appearance, and the cheers of the audience continued for a long time until the end of the band's music.

"Thank you, thank you-" Britney waved to the audience with a smile, but the enthusiastic response from the audience made Britney, who wanted to open the show normally, a little flattered.

"It's great to be able to host SNL, it's my first time. Britney's words caused another round of applause and cheers from the audience and the band.

"It's a great honor to be hosting SNL, it's wonderful......" Britney had just opened when a guy next to her followed.

It turned out to be SNL's signature screenwriter Tina Fey, "Uh, hey, Britney......"

"Oh, hello, Tina. Britney greeted her with some "surprise".

"You said you'd be happy to host the SNL?" asked Tina Fey.

"yes, of course. Britney nodded with her harmless little eyes.

"That's not what you said when we asked you last year. Tina Fey's little eyes shook Britney with an expression of looking at the green tea.

"Last year?" Britney immediately looked "dazed", and then her face changed, "It must have been my assistant who forgot to tell me." ”

This was another figure on the other side who followed, and when they saw the comer, everyone burst into laughter, and it was none other than Jimmy Fat Lun in women's clothes.

At this time, Jimmy Fat Lun had not yet set up his own talk show, and he was still polishing his skills and contacts at SNL.

As soon as Jimmy Fat Lun, who was dressed in women's clothes and black-rimmed glasses, came up, he hurriedly said to Britney: "Britney, SNL has called you for the eleventh time to be on the show. ”

"Uh-" Britney was "debunked on the spot", the audience immediately leaned forward and leaned back with laughter, and Britney immediately patted the shoulder of the little assistant Jimmy and pointed to the distance and said, "Jimmy, look over there, there are UFOs." ”

"Huh!?" The little assistant Jimmy Fat Lun turned his head in the middle of the moment, and was knocked off the stage by Britney's buttocks.

Amid the audience's laughter, Britney turned her head to look at Tina Fey with a smile: "Tina, what did you just say?"

"Uh, I, uh, that ......" Tina Fay immediately began to speak incoherently, and then slipped off the stage.

After the "scheming" scolds the troublemakers, Britney then turns her head and smiles and says to the audience, "Hi everyone, I'm Britney." ”

In another round of cheers, today's "Saturday Night Live" finally officially began.

Sid sat in the audience on the second floor, smiling at Britney Spears performing on stage.

He was supposed to be in Los Angeles to work on the end of "Harry Potter", but because of Britney's request, he came to New York with her and spent a week rehearsing. In order to strengthen the laughter, Sid also participated in some jokes and sketches.

The comedians and writers of "Saturday Night Live" were overjoyed to learn of Sid's involvement.

Whether it is Sid's identity as a writer or the identity of the fire lion boss, he is obviously the target of many people's communication.

As for the sketches of the current issue of SNL, Sid also participated in the writing of some jokes. For example, Britney's meme on the Grammys, only nominated for awards, met Prince William in the UK at the end of the year, and was angry by Rolling Stones lead singer Mick Jagger, and so on.

The comedy style of "Saturday Night Live" is a bit somewhere between nonsensical and-pee-fart, and as long as there are laughs and highlights, it generally gets good results. Of course, the best jokes are those that can be closely related to the current hosts, so they will be more laughing.

Just like the host of the next issue and the last issue of this year's "Saturday Night Live", it is Jack Cheng and Jackie Chan, who are now in full swing. And the jokes and sketches prepared by SNL are also built around Jackie Chan's action movies and action stars.

Therefore, for Britney's issue, the most critical point is to boldly use those memes that can be used as jokes, and then boldly blacken herself.

However, the black one should be precise and standard.

For example, in the Grammy stalks, Sid mixed several stalks. In this segment, Tina Fey and Will Ferrell, who play the role of reporters, ask Britney Spears questions and make various expressions to all sorts of funny people.

And when they asked Britney, "OK, Britney, Grammy night, it's huge." Do you think you have a chance to win?"

Britney smiled modestly and said, "Ell, I have a hunch that I'm going to win." ”

Tina Fey and Will Ferrell immediately looked at her with dead fish faces, causing the audience to laugh.

"I mean, I might win. Britney said, taking a step back.

The two people on the opposite side shook their heads directly, and the laughter on the scene was a little louder.

Britney had no choice but to smile "hehe": "Anything is possible!"

At this moment, Tina Fey climbed Will Ferrell's ear, whispering and gesturing to indicate that Britney's brain was not normal.

"What is she talking to you?" Britney asked, "with an unhappy expression."

Will Ferrell's eyes immediately widened: "Britney, you are a very talented girl!"

Britney said cautiously, "Thank you?"

"What we say is true. Tina Fey also had a "I'm covering you" expression and deliberately gave a thumbs up.

Although the end of 2000 is not a very good time to spoof, it is not because it can't be spoofed, but because under Clinton's eight years of governance, North America seems to be too smooth, far less than the "stormy" time after the TV president took office.

In addition to the sketch performance, Britney also performed the title song "Opp-I-Did-It-Again" and her famous song "Baby-One-More-Time".
