Oscar-winning actress Emma Stone guest hosted Saturday Night Live for the fifth time this weekend.
The three-minute comedy segment was about what supposedly happened when part of the video Stone had recorded had been corrupted and the filmmakers used AI to "seamlessly replace" her.
Cast member Punkie Johnson, who does not look or sound like Stone, was used as her body double with Stone's face digitally superimposed on her to startling and hilarious effect.
Adding to the humor is that Johnson doesn't seem to know anything about Stone or her work.
Elsewhere in the show, Stone was presented with a "Five-Timers Club" jacket by other frequent guest hosts Tina Fey and Candice Bergen.At 35, she is the youngest member of the "club," which also includes Alec Baldwin, Tom Hanks, Woody Harrelson, Steve Martin and Christopher Walken.
"I am the second youngest at 53," Fey said. "You're going to love it in there. A few years ago, they even added a whole 'women's section.' It was actually Candice Bergen's idea."
"But, over the years, it became a big, luxurious place to cry," she quipped.
Fey then listed off how different things are now than when she joined the club in the 2010s.
"TikTok didn't exist. There were still fat celebrities because no Ozempic and network TV was in its heyday. You know, my show 30 Rock was watched by 6 million people a week."
"6 million people a week? Was that a lot?" Stone asked.
"At the time? No. But today? No," Fey replied.
Stone said the achievement was a dream of hers since she was a kid.
"It means so much that I get to share it with you guys," she added.
