The premise
Here’s the bit.
A fake trailer sells the next star-packed holiday film from the makers of Valentine's Day and New Year's Eve, except this time the New Year's romance plays out while the world actually ends. SNL cast members impersonate the celebrity ensemble: Kristen Wiig as Drew Barrymore and Kim Cattrall, Bill Hader as a strangely bloodthirsty Alan Alda, Taran Killam as Ashton Kutcher, Abby Elliott as Kirsten Dunst, Jason Sudeikis as Philip Seymour Hoffman, Jay Pharoah as Cuba Gooding Jr., Fred Armisen as both Penny Marshall and Paulie Walnuts, Bobby Moynihan as the kid from Modern Family, and host Katy Perry as Christina Aguilera opposite Kenan Thompson's Al Roker. Meteors and explosions keep cutting off each sappy meeting, and an "also starring" roll call of increasingly random names, objects and Ludacris variations mocks how many celebrities those films cram in.
