What Will Happen When Lena Dunham Hosts?
And remember: she can't be fully nude on live TV or can she?!
After accidentally cursing, Pope Francis (Taran Killam) turns his weekly blessing into a George Carlinesque standup set, as an unruffled interpreter (Nasim Pedrad) offers a simultaneous translation.

On Girls, Hannah Horvath (Noël Wells) meets a successful version of herself (Dunham), and hears -- with horror -- the compromises she had to make to have an actual career.
