The Kissing Family: James Franco MAKES OUT With Will Forte In SNL Sketch
SNL's grossest sketch is back. "The Kissing Family" which first appeared in 2008, follows a clan with boundary issues as they welcome home a son from college and make out with each other.
The last time it aired, guest host Paul Rudd locked lips with his family (Bill Hader, Fred Armisen and Kristen Wiig) much to his friend Andy Samberg's dismay. This time James Franco took it to a whole new level, actually tonguing his grandfather (Will Forte).
The kiss comes less than a month after Adam Lambert generated widespread controversy by making out with another man during the American Music Awards, which aired during prime time on ABC. Lambert's kiss led to other ABC programs canceling scheduled appearances. It generated even more controversy when CBS News blurred the footage, but didn't blur a similar clip of Britney Spears kissing Madonna at the 2003 MTV Video Music Awards.
