Recurring Saturday Night Live characters and sketches introduced 2001–02

The following is a list of recurring Saturday Night Live characters and sketches introduced between September 29, 2001, and May 18, 2002, the twenty-seventh season of SNL.

[1] Donatella, a demanding diva, speaks in broken English and is always smoking or drinking champagne.

She is usually surrounded by scantily clad manservants and hangs out with her celebrity friends like Elton John, Madonna, and Bono, or other designers.

A scene in the film Step Brothers shows fellow SNL cast member Will Ferrell dressed as a Nazi asking the antagonist "Sprechen sie dick?".

Appearances: An HBO show, similar to Fox's COPS series, where a white trash couple (played by Amy Poehler and Chris Kattan) fist fight and police (or other authority figures) are called in to break them up.

Drunk Girl would stop by Weekend Update to talk about things like Spring Break Tips, but she would be unreliable because of her slurred speech and emotional behavior.

", whether they have actually said anything or not; bursting into tears for no reason; and offering to make out with a disinterested Jimmy Fallon or Tina Fey, the Update hosts at the time.

The sketch begins with a theme song, sung by Morgan in the style of a lounge singer.

[6] All sketches involve Astronaut Jones landing on other planets and encountering alien life forms.

At the end of the aliens' speech, he then makes crude comments, like, "Let me slap those phat asses" and "I want to see it clap".

The male characters in each sketch tended to appreciate her self-confidence, but fell well short of agreeing that she was sexy or desirable.
