SNL Skit: J Pop America Fun Time Now Show

SNL J Pop Skit with Taran Killam and Vanessa Bayer and Anna Faris

Anna Faris hosted Saturday Night Live last night. In this skit, the show pokes fun at Americans who enthusiastically -- and inaccurately -- embrace Japanese anime culture. Two Michigan State University students (Taran Killam and Vanessa Bayer) air their "J Pop America Fun Time Now" on MSU's Campus TV, while their professor (Jason Sudeikis) looks on in horror. Anna is a guest on the show. She's dressed a bit like Sailor Moon and has composed a song that no one wants to hear. As the professor notes, they're crossing from homage into racism. Take a look:
