The actress, who was hosting the variety TV show, gamely appeared in a variety of other sketches, including one where she wore Tudor clothes and sang a duet parodying Shakespeare plays.

Gwyneth clearly seemed to enjoy the singing aspect of the show, starting out her hosting duties with a comical duet of Islands in The Stream with a Kenny Rogers lookalike.
She ended up singing and appeared in a sketch with one of her idols, singer Cee Lo.
'I am such a big fan of Cee Lo - he is so gorgeous and amazing and talented,' she has said.

Blast from the past: The actress played a Mad Men style woman on a 1960s game show skit
The star made sure to name check Country Strong in her opening monologue.
For the role of fallen country music star Kelly Canter, Gwyneth had to learn guitar and perform country music.
'I had never really been exposed to much country music, but during this movie I fell madly in love with it and listen to it all the time,' she has said.
