Lost Recording Of A Christina Aguilera/Neil Diamond Duet

It's true! As played by Kate Hudson and Will Ferrell, though, for this never-before-aired SNL sketch. Will offers up his hammy Neil imitation (which is a side-parting and a set of shades away from his take on Goulet), with a glimpse at future film star Ron Burgundy ("By the beard of Odin!"), while Kate takes the opportunity to show you she's a good candidate for the inevitable inaugural season of Celebrity American Idol.

How does a live show have unaired parts?

I can see why this was unaired. It's awful.

It's sad, but this would probably be one of the best skits of 2007 if SNL aired it today.

They do a final dress rehearsal in front of an audience right before they do the live show (in front of a different audience). There are a couple of skits more in that dress rehearsal than there are in the live show. They decide which skits get the axe based on the audience's reaction, I think.

Anytime Ferrel does Neil Diamond it's gold, but nick is right, Seth Rogan and Judd Apatow are the new champs. I saw a facebook-only screening of Superbad last night and it's funnier than anything Ferrel has done in about 2 or 3 years.

huh, and here i was enjoying both apatow and ferrell's work. i didn't realize there could be only one, some sort of comedy highlander.
