The New York City Children's Chorus sang "Silent Night" to honor the Newtown, Conn. shooting victims on "Saturday Night Live."
The candle's flame flickered and danced, representing loss and sadness, reflection and hope. Children began singing "Silent Night."
That's how this weekend's episode of "Saturday Night Live" began. You can wipe your eyes. It's OK to cry, especially after these past few days, after a gunman took 20 young lives inside a Connecticut elementary school.
But a little laughing is OK, too, and Martin Short provided a powerful reprieve by anchoring a star-studded episode that showcased Paul McCartney's musicality – as well as Samuel L. Jackson's potty mouth.
The episode's tone shifted during Short's monologue, when he sang about holiday hanky-panky with the help of fellow SNL alum and "Late Night with David Letterman" mainstay Paul Shaffer on the piano.
Short posed and shifted atop the piano, realizing the piano draping act didn't translate so well for a male performer.
"How does a man sit on a piano, I wonder?" he asked.
Short took his singing through the Rockefeller Center hallways, encountering a cavalcade of celebrities – Kristen Wiig with her stubby hand! Jimmy Fallon! Tom Hanks! Samuel L. Jackson! Tina Fey! Show creator Lorne Michaels!
Short held a mistletoe sprig for Fey then misdirected, planting a full kiss on Michaels' lips. Lorne just sorta stood there. Smirked. What can you do but laugh when Martin Short gives you a smooch?
The cameos continued in the episode's first skit, "The Tony Bennett Show," starring Alec Baldwin. Short appeared as Tony's hug-happy brother Jerry.
The Bennett brothers discussed their slick dress – "That suit is so sharp, it must have been made with Ginsu knives," Tony said – as well as trouser billiards, which requires no substantial explanation.
Cast member Jay Pharoah appeared as Kanye West, wearing the ridiculous leather leggings and skirt get-up that Kanye rocked at this past week's 12-12-12 Sandy concert.
The "brothers" asked Kanye to hold a box of Dulcolax, the constipation drug, and then the Bennetts discussed bathroom matters while Pharoah's Kanye became increasingly agitated, confused and concerned.
