- description: "Saturday Night Live" opened with a children's choir performing "Silent Night" in memory of the 20 children and seven adults killed in the shooting spree in Newtown, Conn. It was a moving, understated start to a packed "SNL" that featured a slew of guests, as well as Sir Paul McCartney performing again with the surviving members of Nirvana, as he did at Wednesday's Hurricane Sandy relief concert. Samuel L. Jackson also dropped what sounded a lot like the F-word, though he denied it on Twitter. He did acknowledge saying "bulls---." Rather than try to address Friday's mass shooting through host Martin Short's monologue -- or, somehow, some sort of hastily assembled sketch -- the show had the New York Children's Choir sing a song that seemed to reach out to the children killed the day before. "Sleep in heavenly peace," the choir sang.
