SNL spoofs 'Black Annie' and Jamie Foxx

Nov 23, 2014

Last night, SNL spoofed the upcoming Annie remake with a “Black Annie” skit featuring the guest host Cameron Diaz as Miss Hannigan and Jay Pharaoh doing a respectable — if not funny — impression of Jamie Foxx as Daddy Warbucks.

Diaz and Foxx are actual co-stars in the forthcoming remake of the classic film. The 2014 rendition of the film stars African-American child actress Quvenzhane Wallis as the new “Little Orphan Annie.”

The skit features SNL cast member Leslie Jones as “Black Annie,” an overgrown 43-year-old orphan who tries to convince Warbucks of her credentials. “I’m an orphan, I’m a veteran, I did a half a season in the WNBA…” Leslie also jokes about being a Haitian-American and child of Wyclef Jean and Bonnie Raitt.

Did you find this sketch funny at all? Sound off.
