Not sure if anyone else here cares, but all the Japanese language used in this skit is technically correct, though badly pronounced. Well done SNL! Frankly this is a million times more effort than the Japanese go to when attempting to lampoon any other country. Usually they just glue on a fake nose and paint their faces black (yes, classic black-face with the white lips and everything) or they paint them pink and draw round eyes. It's surreal.

whats funny is the japanese people in the room are probably their teachers for the skit. The lines are correct, but badly pronounced as mentioned before. However It seems the girl/secretary (I dont watch the show..so no names ) was actually pretty fluent, or atleast picked it up pretty quickly.

Could NBC.com be any slower? I'm really excited to watch past the first 11 seconds. Maybe i'll go make dinner...

Ricky Gervais is so great. Good intro and outro by him.

The Regis Philbin commercial sealed the deal on the upvote.
