Neeson hosts Saturday Night Live

Liam Neeson hosted an episode of the NBC sketch show Saturday Night Live, showcasing his versatility as an actor through various comedic roles. In one sketch, he portrayed a redneck trucker named Marlon Weaver in a segment titled 'Appalachian Emergency Room.' This sketch highlighted the absurdities of rural healthcare, using humor to address serious themes. Neeson also took on the role of a hippie in a comedic sketch featuring two stoners, one played by Amy Poehler, who sought to borrow a police dog to locate their lost stash of marijuana. This sketch played on the stereotypes associated with stoner culture, providing a humorous take on the lengths individuals might go to in pursuit of their vices. Despite his earlier commitment to avoid playing Irish stereotypes, Neeson found himself embodying an Irish character named Lorcan McArdle in a parody of home makeover shows, titled 'You Call This A House, Do Ya?'. This role allowed him to engage with cultural tropes while still delivering a comedic performance that resonated with the audience.
