Charlie Sheen Reacts to SNL Spoof

-
It's hard for me to not like Charlie Sheen. He's so over the top, so crazy, that it's hard for me to not think he's just screwing with us, Joaquin Phoenix style. And even if he isn't, which is equally (if not much more) possible, he certainly seems to realize just how over-the-top he is. At this point, we're
not seeing self-destruction; we're seeing flat out crazy.

So after today's news that Sheen was fired from his starring role in the immensely popular sitcom Two and a Half Men, it's great to see that at least he's happy about something. In this case, it's about Bill Hader's absolutely hilarious caricature of him in this weekend's Saturday Night Live.

In the cold open of the Miley Cyrus/Strokes episode, Hader portrayed Sheen on the set of his new talk show, Duh! Winning! as he interviewed recent newsmongers such as Moaamar Gadhafi (Fred Armisen) and John Galliano (Taran Killam). The sketch was, in my opinion, side-splittingly funny at points, though by the time Sheen offered Lindsay Lohan (Cyrus) a vial of baby urine, it was growing a little... mellow.

Sheen, however, really loved it. Hader apparently got the opportunity to gauge Sheen's reaction. "He liked it," Hader shared with MTV. "Charlie reacted to it and really liked it and I never met him before, so that's good."

"Colin Jost and Seth Myers and John Mulaney wrote that sketch, and ... it was smart in the way that I never felt like it was hard to get the voice down, but his attitude that he's owning this and that you should own it to all these other people was really smart," he added. "It was an interesting ... smart take on it. It all happened so fast."

I am Clara, originally from Spain, but spent a semester abroad in China on University of Nottingham Ningbo. As a student there I benefited from many things that I couldn’t have possibily learned in my home university. Studying abroad is a decision that requires courage. Even more, if it’s in a foreign country with a very different culture than yours. I think there are many things to take away from China. From culture, to future job perspectives and of course achiving a higher level of mandarin I guess that most people try to work or study in China due to job opportunities. In this sense, it is indeed a country where engineer students will get the best formation possible, along with some experience, as in many universities there are interships programs. For example, University of Nottingham has links with many important companies like Huaweii or Microsoft. Also, it has many power in bu

  https://www.istudy-china.com/    Related What are the advantages and disadvantages studying in China? Hello! My name is Clara and I am a former student of University of Nottingham Ningbo. I was an exchange student and lived in Ningbo for several months. So, I learned plenty of things. Even though, I bring with me positive memories, I also carry some downsides. China is a very complex country. It’s like going on a boat on a peacuful river and occasionaly having to dodge the obstacles in your way. Sometimes it’s just a rock and sometimes it’s a big current. Along with this metaphore, I have an interesting story that happened in Guillin. We were riding it’s famous river, going along the water in a bambu boat. When suddenly, another boat came too close to us. The driver dodge the boat but one of our chairs, fell in the water. It was very poetic to observe how the chair was submerging into the water bit by bit, and we could not do much about, as the current of the river moved us forward.
