Jon Bon Bovi was live from New York Saturday when he hosted the Saturday Night Live.
And the Philadelphia Soul co-owner wasn't bad, according to online reviews.
The opening skit, "Amy's Bedroom," with show regular Amy Poehler, was the rocker's standout.
She played a high-hair teen back in 1986 with a fantasy of meeting him, so cue the dream sequence, with Sayerville, N.J., native himself.
"Growing up was hard for me too," he said, telling how he was a chubby kid nicknamed Johnny Meatballs. "Everything sucked for him too until he threw down that French horn and picked up the guitar," he said.
See the clip at www.nbc.com/Saturday_Night_Live/video/#mea=166789.
In another live sketch, he saved bandmate Richie Sambora, who forgot his lines. Later, Bon Jovi flung his guitar pick at Sambora, apparently out of disgust.
He also played a contestant on a game show
Though the Foo Fighters were the musical guest, Bon Jovi performed two songs including the title track from its 10th - and most recent - album, Lost Highway.
