Zach Galifianakis Takes On Pageant Dads On SNL

pageant
Hey, did you guys know there were two whole days this past weekend? It wasn't just the five-hour lead up to the Oscars and the three-and-a-half-hour Oscars and the one-hour post-Oscars wrap up! I know, I can't remember the rest either. When I try to think back, all I can see in my mind is George Clooney's face surrounded by sequins.

But, as we mentioned earlier, Zach Galifianakis did a bang-up job on Saturday Night Live on Saturday night (live, even). But this one sketch - featuring hilarious performances by Galifianakis, Jenny Slate, and Kristen Wiig as a eerily realistic pageant family - for some reason wasn't available on line, until Gabe from Videogum answered the call.

And if you're not familiar with shows like Toddlers and Tiaras, which I assure you are all too terribly real, let me just say that this is barely exaggerated.

Via Videogum.

I know I'm going to sound like a doofus for asking this, but was that a prostetic stubble cheeks/chin he was wearing, or did he actually shave during the commercial. He had his beard afterward during the closing credits, but it looked fake at that point. Does anyone know who can relieve my doofy ignorance?

Whaddaya know, I got it right! Maybe I'm not such a doofus after all (or at least, if I am, it isn't for this reason).

Even if you think ZG is funny (I don't especially), he was not very good. Kept stumbling over his lines, etc.
