SNL "I Ran" video has been viewed 300,000-plus times on YouTube....See it here!
My viewings of "Saturday Night Live" has been hit-and-miss in recent years but I'm glad I caught the show last weekend for the hilarious short 'I Ran" which so brilliantly mocked Iran President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's contention that there are no gay peeps in his country.
Andy Samberg, Fred Armisen and Maroon 5's Adam Levine (plus a Jake Gyllenhaal cameo) make this a classic that people just won't stop talking about.
Samberg tells the New York Times that the film was meant for fun but doesn't deny the political undertone: "No one around here is super fired-up about a guy who is denying the Holocaust and saying there are no homosexuals in his country.'"
Greg Hernandez has covered the entertainment industry for the Daily
News since 2001. He's considered a bit odd by some for his obsession
with box office numbers, has been known to camp out near the kitchen
at premieres for first crack at the hors d'oeurves, and Greg's never
seen a red carpet he didn't want to stroll down.
