#WATCH: JUSTIN BIEBER ON “SNL”

Canadian Pop Sensation Justin Bieber stretched his wings last night, doing double duty as both Host and Musical Guest on Saturday Night Live.  Although the laughs admittedly were pretty dispersed, his Fans (many who camped-out in the Storm which crippled much of the North-East) were out in full force, screaming at every opportunity.  Bieber played-up his new-found singleness and tied-in upcoming Valentine’s Day every opportunity he had.

In his Monologue (7:30), which celebrated both Black History Month and Valentine’s Day, telling the v. Female audience “I’m looking for the one special Girl to help me find love… and the great progress African-Americans have made in this Nation.”.  Bieber adds, “Tonight I’m looking for a future Mrs. B. We’re gonna do it right, we’re gonna celebrate it right”, eventually before he finds Whoopi Goldberg in the audience, presents her with Roses and drags her on-stage for a kiss on the cheek.

By far the most surprising and funny moment was the on-going The Miley Cyrus Show (43:45) Sketch featuring Vanessa Bayer, where Bieber addresses his recent Marijuana Scandal.  An over-enthusiastic Bayer as Cyrus interviews the young  President of the Lafayette Club. Pete DeFalco, who questions why she’s friends with Bieber. “You’re kidding me right? He looks like a f– … a Lesbian… I also heard he got busted for smoking weed and that he’s really sorry and that people make mistakes and that he’s never gonna do it again.” “Yeah right!  Me too.. so okay!”.
