Waltz you-know-whats through 'Saturday Night Live'

Oscar nominee Christoph Waltz charmingly, gamely tried to elevate the pedestrian monologue he was given in hosting "Saturday Night Live."

Conversely, the crew was clever in coming up with the parody "Djesus Uncrossed," but it's not as much of a showcase for Waltz as you mighty imagine.

The less said about gameshow sketch "What Have You Become?" the better (even if it hits a little close to home).
