Side Note:
Amusingly to me, the first thing I personally thought when I saw Adam Driver's face in The Force Awakens was that he looked like Mozenrath.

Yeah, you're right, he did kind of look like Mozenrath. :b

I don't really know what to say about that skit. It wasn't hilarious, but it was amusing. I'm kind of just surprised they performed it at all! I'm glad Aladdin is still relevant, I guess. Is it because of the Broadway show?

The skit had its funny moments, but it wasn't really laugh out loud funny. It just seemed like yet another parody of an iconic Disney scene put into a real world situation. Although, I did find the moment when the bird flew into Jasmine pretty interesting.

I do recall SNL doing an Aladdin skit a while back (I can't remember when, unfortunately) where Jasmine and Aladdin have been married for a while, they hate each other, and Jasmine had Genie's blue kid. It wasn't really that funny either, now that I think of it.

SNL could be banking on the Broadway show or the rerelease of the movie. Or to satirize in some way what is occurring in Syria because everyone knows that Syria is essentially Agrabah Rolling Eyes

I know exactly which skit you're talking about! It was funnier than this one, for sure. I feel like that one aired a long time ago...

I found a YouTube video of that older skit, but it keeps pausing and isn't really the best quality. I would have posted it here if it actually wanted to cooperate with me. It's funny (I agree, it's a lot funnier than this one), but it isn't that funny.

I found the episode on IMDB and it said that it aired January 17th, 2009. Was anything Aladdin-related happening during that time which prompted them to do the skit or was it more of a free for all? Confused

If it's the skit with Rosario Dawson as Jasmine, then yes, it's that one. I tried to use your link, but it says that both of the videos are unavailable in my country. The joys of being a Canadian, eh?

Isn't the Real Housewives one where Jasmine said she ended up sleeping with Iago because he impersonated Aladdin's voice? Or is that another one?

Awesome possum! And I'll definitely look into doing that. Thanks. Very Happy

Wow! Living in Ireland must be so cool. One of my cousin's boyfriends is from there (I don't know which city, though) and he travels back and forth from there to Canada all of the time. Are you there because of school or a job?

That sounds so interesting! Good for you and all the best of luck. Maybe you will be the next John Williams or Alan Menken. Very Happy

Your life sure beats my current undergraduate one. Sad

If you ever get an Academy Award, I expect to be mentioned. "I would like to thank Fez_Head at Aladdin Central for badgering me with so many questions..." Just kidding. Although that would be pretty cool.

I'm in my third year of university for an Honors Specialization in Creative Writing and English Language and Literature and a Minor in French Studies.

Yes, it's a mouthful. Very Happy
