\"SNLCasablanca\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Last night, Saturday Night Live unveiled a previously unseen alternate ending to the 1942 classic Casablanca<\/strong>. Well, not really.<\/p>\n

Honestly, this bit is probably not as good as the old classic “Alternate Ending to It’s A Wonderful Life<\/strong>” in which Jimmy Stewart (as played by Dana Carvey)leads the residents of Bedford Falls in beating the tar out of Mr. Potter (Jon Lovitz). This time we have guest host J K Simmons in Humphrey Bogart’s role of Rick Blaine and Kate McKinnon as Ingrid Bergman’s Ilsa, who realizes that maybe hightailing it away from the Nazis with Victor Lazlo is probably a pretty good idea. But it does generate a couple of good jokes and gets extra credit for sliding in a Sophie’s Choice<\/strong> reference and for keeping the whole in the original Academy ratio.<\/p>\n
