Live From New York, It's Saturday Night WhoBookmark and Share

Saturday, 5 February 2005 - Reported by Shaun Lyon

There's obviously a fan of Doctor Who on the staff at Saturday Night Live, the popular and long-running American comedy sketch series, as the show gets its second reference this season! On tonight's (February 5) installment, guest host Paris Hilton introduced a segment on phone sex for SF/fantasy fans; it featured genre-based jokes on 'Star Trek' and 'Lord of the Rings' to name a few. Hilton ended the skit by saying "Operators are standing by. Who knows, one of them might be me. Does 'Doctor Who' turn you on, baby? Well, I'm getting into my TARDIS right now. Oooh! I'd better put on my big floppy hat and scarf. I hope I don't find any Daleks here. Are you a Dalek, baby? Do you want to exterminate me? Call today." A screen capture is attached at right.
