VIDEO: '50 Shades of Grey' audition is the must-see sketch from SNL

Much to the chagrin of the horny housewives of Middle America, Sons of Anarchy star Charlie Hunnam and The Social Network's Dakota Johnson were recently introduced as the leads in the forthcoming film adaptation of E.L. James' immensely popular erotica novel, 50 Shades of Grey.

On Saturday, Miley Cyrus popped by the NBC studios in New York to twerk all over your living room serve as host and musical guest on SNL. By Sunday, everyone was talking about the "We Can't Stop" parody that had Killam's Speaker of the House John Boehner shaking that ass all over a house party with Miley's MIchelle Bachmann.

But, really, the must-see sketch of the night came earlier in the program when the SNL folks offered a hypothetical glimpse into the casting process that eventually led to Hunnam and Johnson landing the high-profile roles of Christian Grey and Anastasia Steele.

Miley plays Scarlett Johansson to Taran Killam's Christoph Waltz while Bobby Moynihan and newcomer Noël Wells play Seth Rogen and Emma Stone. Keenan Thompson kills it with his Steve Harvey. Take a three-minute break on this gross Monday morning and revel in the simplicity and hilarity of SNL's "50 Shades of Grey Auditions" bit.
