Amy Adams hosted SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE with musical guest One Direction last night, December 20, 2014. To open the show, she was interrupted by Kristen Wiig and eventually joined on stage by a chorus of Christmasy dancers to sing "We Need a Little Christmas" from MAME. Check out the clip below! MAME is a musical with the book by Jerome Lawrence and Robert Edwin Lee and music and lyrics by Jerry Herman, last seen on Broadway in 1983.

"Saturday Night Live," NBC's Emmy Award-winning late-night comedy showcase, is now its 40th season. Since its inception in 1975, "SNL" has launched the careers of many of the brightest comedy performers of their generation.

The program has won 45 Emmy Awards and now holds the title for the most nominated television show in Emmy history with 187 nominations. "SNL" has been honored twice, in 1990 and 2009, with the prestigious George Foster Peabody Award and cited as "truly a national institution." "Saturday Night Live" was inducted into the Broadcasting Hall of Fame by the National Association of Broadcasters, and the show continues to garner the highest ratings of any late-night television program, entertaining millions each week.
