We were ready for a bunch of naked jokes and perhaps a Girls parody during Lena Dunham's debut on Saturday Night Live. And boy did she deliver.
The 27-year-old star and creator of the HBO hit series went completely nude in an appropriately titled spoof called Girl, which told the story of Eve in the Garden of Eden. Taran Killam portrayed Dunham's on-screen love interest Adam (Adam Driver), while Vanessa Bayer channeled Shoshanna (Zosia Mamet) as a snake.
"Can you please not apple shame me right now?" Dunham asked the voice of God after she eats the forbidden fruit. "Seriously, I know I committed original sin, but at least it's original. I think I deserve some credit for that. Or at least a publishing deal," she quipped.
Right out of the gate, she brilliantly joked about being naked.
"I am so honored to be here hosting SNL and it's also really intimidating to be up here on this stage," she said during her opening monologue. "But there is an old saying, if you're nervous about giving a speech, just imagine the audience naked. Or at least imagine they haven't seen you naked."
It's no secret that Dunham would love to guest star on Scandal and she got to channel her inner Gladiator as newbie Kelsey in a highly amusing sketch centered around the ABC drama. Sasheer Zamata took on the role of Kerry Washington's Olivia Pope—and rocked a fierce white pantsuit—while Killam was spot on as President Fitzgerald Grant (Tony Goldwyn).
The National took the stage twice and performed "Graceless" and "I Need My Girl."
Liam Neeson and Jon Hamm also made special cameos.
