Jonny Moseley, the Olympic gold medalist, hosted episode 13 of season 27 of Saturday Night Live. Outkast, the hip-hop duo consisting of Andre 3000 and Big Boi, were the musical guests for the night.

The cold open featured Darrell Hammond returning to his role as President George W. Bush. The sketch revolves around the President's inability to find weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, despite the evidence presented to him. Jonny Moseley made his first appearance of the night during the opening monologue, where he delivered some jokes about his skiing career and his new-found fame.

The first sketch of the night was a parody of the game show "Jeopardy!" titled "Celebrity Jeopardy!" The sketch featured Will Ferrell as Alex Trebek, Darrell Hammond as Sean Connery, Jimmy Fallon as Dave Matthews, and Jonny Moseley as himself. The sketch starts off with host Alex Trebek reprimanding Sean Connery for making inappropriate jokes, but the sketch quickly devolves into chaos with the contestants struggling to answer even the most basic questions.

Other sketches of the night include "The Falconer," where Jonny Moseley plays himself as a skier who turns to falconry after an injury; "A Message from Martha Stewart," where the domestic goddess dishes out tips for Valentine's Day; "Wake Up Wakefield," a sketch about a morning talk show with a racist and sexist host, played by Horatio Sanz; and "Zinger!" a sketch about a Wayne Brady-like character played by Tracy Morgan.

The musical performance by Outkast was a hit and featured their popular songs "Ms. Jackson" and "So Fresh, So Clean." Andre 3000 and Big Boi were dynamic performers, adding their own unique flair to their performance.

The night ended with another sketch featuring Jonny Moseley. The sketch was a parody of a reality show, where a group of celebrities are stranded on a deserted island. However, unlike most reality shows, the celebrities are actually stranded on an island and must fend for themselves. Jonny Moseley's survival skills come in handy, and he quickly becomes the leader of the group.

Overall, season 27 episode 13 of Saturday Night Live was a hilarious and entertaining episode, with strong performances from the cast and musical guest Outkast. Jonny Moseley's hosting skills proved to be a hit, and his appearances throughout the episode were well-received.
