Saturday Night Live Season 38 Episode 13 Justin Bieber

On February 9th, 2013, Saturday Night Live premiered a highly anticipated episode for their 38th season featuring musical guest Justin Bieber. With this being Bieber's first time hosting the show, there was a tremendous amount of hype and excitement leading up to the episode.

The show began with a cold open sketch featuring SNL alum and current political commentator Seth Meyers as the host of "Weekend Update." Meyers took a satirical approach to the recent State of the Union address by President Barack Obama, poking fun at various politicians and policies. The sketch ended with a cameo appearance by none other than Justin Bieber, who proved to be a natural comedian on-screen.

From there, Bieber jumped into his monologue, which included him addressing some of the criticisms he had faced in the media over the past year. The rest of the episode was filled with hilarious skits, all featuring Justin Bieber in various roles. One standout sketch was "The Miley Cyrus Show," where Bieber played an over-enthusiastic fan of the pop singer. The sketch was a hilarious spoof of Cyrus's then-popular talk show on YouTube, and Bieber delivered a spot-on impersonation of the pop star.

Another memorable sketch was a spoof of Bravo's "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills." Bieber played a bratty young son in the family, who was constantly causing trouble while his mother (played by SNL cast member Nasim Pedrad) tried to reign him in. The sketch was filled with witty one-liners and spot-on impressions of various Real Housewives cast members.

In addition to these sketches, the episode also featured a digital short, which was a parody of Bieber's hit single "Boyfriend." In the short, Bieber played a creepy stalker who was constantly lurking around various unsuspecting people. The short was a hilarious take on the dark side of Bieber's fanbase and received a great response from viewers.

The episode also included two musical performances by Bieber himself, including his hit song "As Long As You Love Me" and a live performance of "Nothing Like Us," a then-new song that had not yet been released on an album.

Overall, the Justin Bieber episode of Saturday Night Live proved to be one of the most memorable of the 38th season. The show successfully showcased Bieber's comedic talents while also delivering plenty of laugh-out-loud moments for viewers at home. The episode was a testament to Bieber's versatility as a performer and cemented his status as a pop culture icon.
