SNL's Blood-Soaked Alternate Ending of Home Alone 2

  • Back in 1986, Saturday Night Live delivered a classic sketch about a "lost ending" to  It's a Wonderful Life that was essentially all about beating the living hell out of Old Man Potter,  featuring Dana Carvey's pitch-perfect Jimmy Stewart impression.

    34 years later, they gave us another sketch in the same vein, this time about Home Alone 2: Lost in New York.  No, there wasn't a bloody end to Donald Trump, who infamously cameoed in that movie. Instead, the homeless "Pigeon Lady" (Kristen Wiig) convinces Kevin (Melissa Villaseñor) to get her a suite at The Plaza, and when those nasty old burglars throw a wrench in her plan, she goes ham on them for threatening her meal ticket. It isn't pretty. (Nor was it apparently easy for Wiig to keep herself from breaking once the blood starts flowing.)
