Mike Myers recently guested on "Saturday Night Live" as the iconic Dr. Evil character from his hit movie franchise, "Austin Powers".

In the said skit, Myers as Dr. Evil interrupted "A Very Somber Christmas with Sam Smith" to comment on the recent Sony hack

"I've preempted this program because I'm furious that Sony Pictures and North Korea have given evil a bad name," Dr. Evil stated.

He was seen onscreen in his boxy gray outfit, while petting a fake hairless cat that looked like his pet, Mr. Bigglesworth.

He first addressed North Korea, saying that it is "one of the most evil countries in the world", but has turned to killing "The Interview" as its act of war.

The hackers, who referred to themselves as Guardians of Peace (GoP), threatened to launch attacks reminiscent of 9/11 on any theater that opt to release the movie, or if Sony Pictures refused to cancel its premiere.

The said Seth Rogen and James Franco flick revolves around a plan to assassinate Kim Jong Un, the current leader of North Korea.

"It's easy to kill a movie. Just move it to January ... Why pick on Sony? They haven't had a hit since the Walkman," Dr. Evil stated.

He then turned his attention to Sony, saying it was ridiculous for the studio to think that it would be funny to have James Franco assassinate Kim Jong-un, especially since "The man singlehandedly almost killed the Oscars."

The GoP recently broke into the computer system of Sony Pictures, and publicly released private documents, emails, film scripts and employee records.

One of the most notable leaked information included an email correspondence between Sony co-chairperson Amy Pascal and producer Scott Rudin wherein Rudin referred to actress Angelina Jolie as being a spoiled brat and having very minimal talent.
