Here are three highlights from the show: Kevin Hart stars alongside Kenan Thompson and Jay Pharoah as a trio of Bushwick, Brooklyn friends who discuss a new artisanal mayonnaise joint, spin classes and brunches. Hart also tells a story about how he killed someone while dogwalking — but that’s not as big of a controversy as using the word “Evite.” Kate McKinnon parodies Justin Bieber’s Calvin Klein underwear ads, riffing heavily on the controversy over speculated “digital enhancements.” McKinnon’s bratty man-child is joined by Cecily Strong, playing an exasperated model Lara Stone. Kevin Hart takes on the role of soul legend James Brown, turning a performance of “Get Up (I Feel Like Being) A Sex Machine” into strange mid-act conversations with his bandmates, like why one of his backup singers changed her first name when she got married. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3672813/snl-kevin-hart-sia/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3672813/snl-kevin-hart-sia/"},"headline":"SNL: Kevin Hart Spoofs Brooklyn Culture, Kate McKinnon Mocks Justin Bieber","datePublished":"2015-01-18T15:21:21.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-22T03:40:15.088Z","description":"With Sia as musical guest","url":"https://time.com/3672813/snl-kevin-hart-sia/","keywords":["Television"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blta8ced3607c905cf6/69877a9335ba6f1725c0694d/brooklyn-hart.png?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Jack Linshi","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/jack-linshi/"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blta8ced3607c905cf6/69877a9335ba6f1725c0694d/brooklyn-hart.png?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"brooklyn-hart","caption":"","creditText":"","representativeOfPage":true}],"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/3672813/snl-kevin-hart-sia/","name":"SNL: Kevin Hart Spoofs Brooklyn Culture, Kate McKinnon Mocks Justin Bieber"}}]}] ```
