Jamie Foxx as a Ding Dong!
Watch: Jamie Foxx Takes the Cake as ‘SNL’ Guest-Host | XFINITY TV Blog by Comcast
Oscar-winning actor
Jamie Foxx played a Hostess Ding-Dong who complained that Twinkies were getting all the attention in the wake of Hostess declaring bankruptcy a few weeks ago.
Foxx appeared costumed as the iconic, disc-shaped, chocolate-coated snack cake during ?Weekend Update? Saturday night on
?Saturday Night Live,? which Foxx guest-hosted, with musical guest
Ne-Yo.
Foxx, as the life-sized Ding-Dong, was invited on ?Update? by anchor
Seth Meyers. Elsewhere on the ?SNL? episode, Foxx played a bailiff on a fictional afternoon court show and a ?pimp? who sold Christmas trees on the streets of New York. He even poked fun at
Tyler Perry in a bit that spoofed Perry?s cop-thriller
?Alex Cross? and Perry?s most famous character, the outspoken ?Madea,? at the same time.
Of all of these, it was Foxx?s performance as the angry, maligned snack food that we liked best ? which is why the ?Ding-Dong? clip is the first one up as we recap this weekend?s ?Saturday Night Live.?
