    Monday got you down? Need something to lighten your mood today? How about a recap of this week’s “Saturday Night Live” show, hosted by Eli Manning with musical guest Rihanna? If you missed the show you certainly won’t want to miss the clips we’ve assembled for you here.

    In the first clip we get to see Rihanna’s performance of “Where Have You Been.” Rihanna takes center stage in a group of harem girls dancing in this performance. Of course, she’s dressed much more enticingly than the rest of the girls on the stage, and the provocative dance number doesn’t disappoint.

    Up next we’ve got the Weekend Update skit, where Seth Meyers wel­comes the very opin­ion­at­ed Ad­mi­ral Gen­er­al Haf­faz Aladeen from “The Dic­ta­tor,” who has some in­ter­est­ing tac­tics to get peo­ple to see his movies. “The Dictator” opens on May 16th, 2012.

    The next skit takes a jab at Turner Classic Movies, comedy style, revealing a third member of the Cheech and Chong duo. Let’s take a look at why the trio did not work out. Who knew?

    Here’s another skit with Eli Manning, this time playing a man on tri­al for mur­der whose lawyer hinges the case on the de­fen­dant’s em­bar­rass­ing text mes­sage log.

    Up next, it’s time for “What Is This?” -​ the eas­i­est game show ev­er with quite pos­si­bly the creepi­est host ev­er. Oh yeah … this is good stuff!

    Have you heard of the latest book sweeping into the lives of older women everywhere? It’s called “50 Shades of Grey.” In case you don’t know what it’s about, here’s a skit. Some say it’s the perfect Mother’s Day gift. Just be care­ful when you give it to her.

    Here’s a final Eli Manning skit that you’ll never forget. A drag queen does not re­act to the news of win­ning third place well. Enjoy!

    In this next clip, Swe­den’s “Hel­ga Late­ly” wel­comes co­me­di­ans and dish­es in a very sim­i­lar for­mat to “Chelsea Late­ly.” It’s an odd skit to be sure, but hilarious nonetheless.
