Dr. Evil takes over 'SNL' to mock North Korea/Sony

Who better to take down one of the world's most powerful evil leaders than one of Hollywood's funniest? For the first time in 12 years, Mike Myers donned his Dr. Evil attire to tell North Korea and Sony what's what on last night's Saturday Night Live.

The skit, found on Entertainment Weekly, "interrupted" A Very Somber Christmas with Sam Smith to have Evil address with his bald cat the ugly situation with Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg's The Interview this week. Saying he was "furious that North Korea and Sony Pictures have both given evil organizations a bad name," Evil considered the situation akin to "watching two bald men fighting over a comb," something Evil should certainly be no stranger to knowing about.

Complaining about how much national terror has come over "a silly comedy," Myers' villain character went on to poke fun at everything from January movies to GOP's name to James Franco's Oscar performance. He even made from of his creator's 2008 comedy, The Love Guru.

There's likely more at play here than just having Myers return to his beloved character. Most likely, they're using this revival to weigh in on the public's interest in moving forward with an Austin Powers 4, something the comedic actor has tried to get off the ground for years. Whether or not that will happen, this was a nice little unexpected joy from the comedic actor, and a much needed kick in North Korea's butt, especially considering South Park wrapped up their season before all this insanity happened.

This is not the first time Myers has brought back a beloved character to his SNL origins, as he did that back in 2011 with Wayne Campbell alongside host Dana Carvey as Garth Algar to discuss the Oscar season.

Of late, Myers profile has been more low-key. But he did make his directorial debut this year with the documentary Supermensch: The Legend of Shep Gordon, which he made alongside Beth Aala.
