'SNL' summons gods to solve Greek economic crisis

http://entertainment.msnbc.msn.com/_...conomic-crisis

In a skit that featured the whole cast, Zeus (Jason Sudeikis) summons the gods to Mt. Olympus to solve the economic crisis. And no one is more surprised than Zeus that Greece has fallen into such a deep hole because “as we know, the Greeks are widely known as a hard-working, industrious people. A people willing to labor week in and week out, three days a week, one hour a day until the age of 45.”

But the Mighty One hits a roadblock right away when he learns there are at least two gods of war –- Ares and Athena -- but no god of finance. Poseidon (Andy Samberg), the god of the ocean, offers a suggestion that involves a dolphin and a human woman –- hear him out! –- but fails to mention what either could do to ease the debt crisis.

The recommendation from Hades (Bill Hader)? Kill everyone. Dionysus (guest host Charlie Day) has the spending part down cold, but saving … not so much.

Which forces Zeus to summon Klaus (Fred Armisen), the German god of prudence and austerity. But as been the case in real-life, his suggestion isn’t welcome.
