After President Obama (Pharoah) explains sequestration, Kevin Hart hosts: he plays Quvenzhane Wallis as the new Pope, a bitten interloper on "The Walking Dead," a horse-phobic guest on Steve Harvey's show, an over-amped pitchman for Z-shirts, Seth Meyer's partner in a "Really?!" sketch, the neck-braced host of "360 News," an actor reading for a Dove Chocolate commercial, a guy pitching a product on "Shark Tank," a bookstore manager who has to fire someone, and a gadfly at a funeral. Macklemore and Ryan Lewis (with Wanz) perform "Thrift Shop" and "Can't Hold Us"; a spoof of Starbucks Verismo airs.
