For the second time this season -- third if you count guest host Dane Cook -- Saturday Night Live turned over the reins to an outsider to perform stand-up on the show.

Not too shabby, even with a slight flub in Rock's delivery. Here are the other examples in this season's SNL stand-up showcase. Borat (Sacha Baron Cohen) took over the show for about five minutes earlier in the season.



And here is a transcript of Dane Cook's monologue from the SNL season premiere in September.
