‘SNL’: Sarah Silverman Performs Stand Up In Heaven As Joan Rivers
Sarah Silverman paid tribute to her late friend Joan Rivers while hosting “Saturday Night Live” this weekend.
During a sketch set in heaven, Sarah played the iconic comedienne and “Fashion Police” host, while performing stand up for a panel of other late greats including Richard Pryor (Jay Pharoah), Lucille Ball (Kate McKinnon), Benjamin Franklin (Bobby Moynihan), Eartha Kitt (Sasheer Zamata), Ava Gardner (Cecily Strong), and Steve Jobs (Kyle Mooney).
“Steve, I hope you’re forced to buy a new and better casket every six months so you can see how we feel. Am I right?!” Sarah’s Joan said to the Apple mogul in the sketch.

Adam Levine also made a surprise cameo as Queen’s Freddie Mercury (Maroon 5 was “SNL’s” musical guest for the evening).
“When Freddie died, people were surprised he was gay. Are you serious?!” Joan (Sarah) said to Adam’s Freddie. “You’re so gay even your teeth aren’t straight!”
