If you've seen Whiplash, you know J.K. Simmons plays a pretty scary guy. He's been winning awards left and right for his performance as a jazz drum teacher, a character he brought back for his hosting gig on Saturday Night Live this weekend. He and the cast made a song for the giant snowstorm that was supposed to hit New York City last week, only no one can get the drums quite right — not even surprise guest star Fred Armisen. Take a look, and check out D'Angelo's powerful performances from the show.
