Mick Jagger's first time hosting Saturday Night Live featured memorable music, and The Rolling Stones singer played a wide range of characters in the show's sketches -- and there was one swear word towards the end of the show.

Jagger stuck mostly to Stones hits, doing a straightforward take on "The Last Time" backed by Arcade Fire. The performance was marred by a glitch that made Tim Kingsbury's guitar drop out during the song's solo. Foo Fighters joined Jagger to do a medley of "19th Nervous Breakdown" and "It's Only Rock n' Roll (But I Like It)."

For his final performance 10 minutes before the show's end, Jagger unveiled a new song called "Tea Party" that he said was a blue number about the upcoming election. He was joined by Jeff Beck, and the lyrics made clear why it was near the end of the show, as one of the lines ended with the S-word.

Two sketches with Jagger included Stones songs:

  • He portrayed an insurance salesman at a convention watching other people sing "Satisfaction" and "Sympathy for the Devil" in karaoke. The bit ended with him singing a mournfully slow version of "Satisfaction."
  • In the final sketch of the show, Jagger announced that a cast member was graduating. Kristen Wiig, who's leaving the show after seven seasons, then joined him in a dance while Arcade Fire and the SNL band did "She's a Rainbow." She then danced with each cast member while Jagger sang along, with the bands segueing into "Ruby Tuesday" as the credits rolled.

During the rest of sketches Jagger played a banker at JP Morgan, a very effeminate actor on a game show and Aerosmith's Steven Tyler on a talent competition called So You Can Think You Can Dance at an Outdoor Music Festival
