Saturday Night Live musical sketches - The Céline Dion Show

The Céline Dion Show was faux talk/variety show in which Ana Gasteyer played the Grammy award-winning singer, who in the opening credits, claimed to be the most beautiful and most loved singer in the world. The sketch was inspired by Dion's success in the wake of her number one Billboard Hot 100 hit "My Heart Will Go On" in 1998

But in this case (the show, that is), she had a habit of upstaging her guests or interrupting them by joining them in a song duet (or overtaking them mid-song)....much to the displeasure of the guests.

Interestingly enough the sketch attracted the attention of Dion herself: She invited Gasteyer to perform the character in one of her concerts in 1998.
