Woody Harrelson attempted to sing an informative song about the year 1989 — an homage to Taylor Swift's new album pegged to that year — on Saturday Night Live, but struggled to do so because of alleged drug and alcohol abuse that rendered the year a blank. Jennifer Lawrence crashed the monologue to try and help her Hunger Games co-star, but Harrelson, professing to have smoked a bunch of weed before coming on the show, mistook her for Swift and then strummed his way through the rest of the song. --Jon Terbush
