On November 3, 2007, actress Ellen Page hosted Saturday Night Live for the very first time alongside musical guest Wilco.

The episode kicked off with a sketch parodying the then-recent news that Oprah Winfrey was endorsing Barack Obama for President. In the sketch, fictionalized versions of Oprah and Obama fielded questions from curious voters and offered them bizarre prizes, such as a hand-drawn portrait of themselves as a centaur or a year's supply of light bulbs.

Another standout sketch from the night was a Digital Short titled "iPhone" where Andy Samberg plays a man who becomes so enamored with his new iPhone that he begins to neglect his girlfriend (Ellen Page). The short features a catchy original song, memorable visuals, and a hilarious twist ending.

Other notable sketches from the night include "The Lawrence Welk Show" where the hapless performers struggle to keep a straight face while singing about tiny hands and other odd subjects, a sketch where Ellen Page plays a teenage girl whose parents are way too supportive of her wild sexual exploits, and a "Weekend Update" segment where Seth Meyers takes jabs at politics and pop culture.

Musical guest Wilco played two songs over the course of the night, "Sky Blue Sky" and "Walken." Both performances showcased the band's signature sound - a blend of classic rock, country, and experimental elements - and earned them applause from the audience.

Overall, Ellen Page's episode of Saturday Night Live was well-received by critics and audiences alike. The talented actress brought her comedic chops to every sketch she was in, and the cast and crew pulled out all the stops to make it a memorable night of laughter and entertainment.
