Video: Justin Bieber on Saturday Night Live, stay away from my Tina Fey, you little shit

 
Justin Bieber was this week’s musical guest on "Saturday Night Live," but the teen sensation’s appearance went far beyond that. In fact, Bieber practically acted as a co-host for Tina Fey by energetically participating in several of the show’s skits.

Having already devoured QVC, the Billboard charts, and American Idol, Justin Bieber woke up Saturday morning and thought to himself, “Hmm, Saturday Night Live is ripe for the picking!” The 16-year-old singer was SNL’s musical guest last night, but I’m not quite sure I get the objective. Was SNL hoping the Bieb’s presence would get tween girls to tune in, or was this a step toward gradually expanding his appeal to, I don’t know, people who like music? Ultimately, the majority of SNL’s audience has probably never seen Bieber perform, so at least everyone got to find out what this “dreamy Christmas elf,” as host Tina Fey described him, was all about. And luckily, the Bieb didn’t have to worry about there being much comedy on the show to overshadow his two musical acts (sorry, Tina, but they gave you precious little to work with this time).

Bieber made his debut during Fey’s opening monologue. The "30 Rock" star joked that she’d noticed an unusual amount of young female fans throughout the week’s preparations for the show. "I must be more of a role model than I thought," she deadpanned before acknowledging that the fan base had actually gathered for Bieber.

"He was one of the babies in ‘Baby Mama’ — two years ago," she joked about her past association with the singer.

Bieber then joined Fey on stage for a brief rendition of "I’m Every Woman" (a hit for both Chaka Khan and Whitney Houston), which was used to comically demonstrate how Fey juggles her responsibilities on "30 Rock," "Date Night" and other creative endeavors, including her guest stint on "SNL."

Later, Bieber starred in a skit as Jason Deeps, a C+ student in Tina Fey’s fictional high-school science class. Fey’s teacher character constantly fantasized about Bieber’s character, a student she described as "a dreamy Christmas elf" who looked like "a baby bunny sniffing a tiny flower." In response, Bieber’s Deeps flirted with Fey — presumably setting young hearts aflutter across the country — and sang her a variety of fantasy songs, during which he promised to "buy her a Panini and some spanks to make her teeny."
