In the above clip, “Back Home Ballers,” Aidy Bryant (aka Lil’ Baby Aidy) and her crew follow up [“(Do It On My) Twin Bed”](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dCCV%5FnB7HJk "undefined") with a rap song about traveling home for the holidays and enjoying a [lazy Sunday](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r2jvT%5FKO0Q0 "undefined") or two in the company of mom and dad. Diaz tests out her rapping ability, but it’s Leslie Jones’ verse about bowls (yes, bowls) that is the true scene-stealer. Here are two other highlights: **“New Annie”:** Jones continues to make it clear why she was upgraded from the writers’ room to the _SNL_ stage with a hilarious twist on the upcoming _Annie_ movie (that finds Diaz previewing her take on Miss Hannigan). **“Capitol Hill Cold Open”:** _SNL_ pokes fun at President Obama’s executive orders habit with a _Schoolhouse Rock_ parody starring Kenan Thompson as a bill that apparently can’t get no respect. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3601367/snl-cameron-diaz-bruno-mars-back-home-ballers/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3601367/snl-cameron-diaz-bruno-mars-back-home-ballers/"},"headline":"Watch Cameron Diaz Rap About Being Home for the Holidays on SNL","datePublished":"2014-11-23T17:50:25.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-22T02:18:18.902Z","description":"3 highlights from the episode that featured Bruno Mars and Mark Ronson as musical guests","url":"https://time.com/3601367/snl-cameron-diaz-bruno-mars-back-home-ballers/","keywords":["Television","SNL","Saturday Night Live","bruno mars","Cameron Diaz"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Nolan Feeney","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/nolan-feeney/"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3601367/snl-cameron-diaz-bruno-mars-back-home-ballers/","name":"Watch Cameron Diaz Rap About Being Home for the Holidays on SNL"}}]}] ```
