In season 34, episode 4 of Saturday Night Live, host Anne Hathaway and musical guest The Killers bring their unique talents to the stage. Hathaway delivers a fantastic monologue, discussing her recent appearances in dramatic films and showing off her comedic skills with a song and dance number. The show also features some hilarious sketches, including a parody of a popular cooking show and a sketch in which Hathaway plays a member of a teen pop group.

One of the highlights of the episode is a sketch called "Do You Like Me Now?" In this sketch, Hathaway plays a woman who is trying to reconnect with an old flame (played by Fred Armisen).

Another standout sketch is a parody of the popular cooking show, "Top Chef."

Their interruptions escalate into a full-on food fight, with pasta flying everywhere. This sketch is a great example of SNL's ability to take a popular cultural phenomenon and turn it on its head.

The episode also includes a political sketch in which Hathaway plays former Vice Presidential candidate Sarah Palin. In the sketch, Palin hosts a talk show and interviews various guests, including fellow politicians and celebrities. Hathaway's impression of Palin is spot-on, and the sketch provides several funny moments.
