Making his debut appearance on the long-running sketch comedy show, Ed Helms was the host of the just-aired May 14th episode of "Saturday Night Live".
With Paul Simon nabbed as the musical guest, the Helms spearheaded show was received with a fair amount of criticism - largely due to the fact that the "Office" actor had a more limited role in the night's sketches than was expected.
Among the highlights, Helms opened things up with The Wolf Blitzer Cold Open during which he stripped down to a star-spangled unitard while putting his baton-twirling skills on full display.
One of the more popular bits was a live-action version of ?Ambiguously Gay Duo? featuring Jimmy Fallon, Jon Hamm, Steve Carell, Stephen Colbert, and Helms.
Meanwhile, the show drew to an end with a skit filled with one-line jokes titled ?One Take Tony? along with Helms taking on his lone starring part as an anonymous Republican candidate featured in a political ad campaign.
For those less than thrilled with the latest "SNL," there's plenty to look forward to on next weekend's season finale - as Justin Timberlake will be taking over hosting duties with teh always-interesting Lady Gaga booked as the musical guest.
