There was plenty of good in this weekend's Lady Gaga-helmed edition of "SNL," but if you missed Taran Killam's "Weekend Update" appearance as Jebidiah Atkinson, you missed, possibly, the best thing on the show, if not the entire season.

Go ahead and fix that now... we forgive you.

It's not just that the Killam chews every piece of scenery in this performance as a bitchy speech critic who panned Lincoln's Gettysburg Address, it's that absolutely nothing is sacred here, not even JFK or Jesus.

Points to Killam and "SNL" for going there. We can't wait to see Jebidiah again.
