On this episode's installment of Weekend Update, Abby Elliott appeared as actress-singer Brittany Murphy, following a report about Murphy's alleged firing from a recent film. Elliott portrayed Murphy as not entirely in touch with reality, believing she was SNL's host that evening, and planning to retaliate against the film's director by booing the film at the theater. Murphy died unexpectedly two weeks later on December 20. NBC removed the clip from Hulu without comment.
The January 23, 2010 rerun of this episode removes the Weekend Update segment with Abby Elliott as Brittany Murphy, and has a dress rehearsal version of the final sketch, "The Potato Chip Thief."
