Saturday Night Live, though hit or miss as it's always been, has seemed to have had a revitalization in the last two seasons (last night's Casey Anthony's dog bit on Weekend Update featured the kind of smart, irreverent humor that's made some of the show's most memorable moments over its 37 seasons). Last night's Daniel Radcliffe hosted episode had quite a few charming moments, including a monologue and later a sketch that poked fun at Harry Potter and Harry Potter fans.
Watch the monologue (featuring some one-off puns like "Harry Potterybarn), The Harry Potter Epilogue sketch (where Harry's become the sad towny still hanging around campus reliving his glory days 10 years later), or the full episode below.
