You have to catch up to that.
It's one of my favorite things in the world. When we have a joke that we just know is going to work and it gets nothing. It's like, yo, what the fuck just happened? It makes me laugh every time. It'll kill a rehearsal and then... Yeah, it kills somewhere. That's how it wound up there. And then it's just like,
In the room, it's crazy. And, yeah, it's a special place because you can watch archival stuff like that, like Eddie Murphy's first weekend update appearance. Whoa. You know what I mean? And I think it was... Was it Gumby? Yeah. I think it was only dress rehearsal because it didn't go well because they didn't know him. You know what I mean? Right. They were just kind of giving it up.
But he was telling like jokes that would work for anyone. You know what I mean? Like real jokes. But the fact that they were just getting to know him, he was getting smattered applause, which is so crazy. Wow.
He's doing a lot of different stuff. Yeah, man. Versatile. Yes. Yeah. And just was in it immediately. Aged, what, 7, 19, doing stand-up before, whatever. You know what I mean? Whatever the story is. Just crazy. Always is murdered and still has the talent.
He was the longest prodigal son, yeah. Like, we had, it was him and Sandler. Yeah. So, like, Sandler came in April. Wow. And then we were off for the summer, and during the summer, they announced Murphy was doing Christmas. I was like, this motherfucking Lorne Michaels is a gangster.
He does not take a moment off. Like, yeah, it's summertime, but I'm also gonna, like, lock in both these goats in the same year after it's been 30 for both.
Insane. Who do you want that's never hosted? Yeah. Cosby. Who do I want that hasn't? There's a few people like Denzel would be interesting. You know, like Brad Pitt did the cold open during COVID. But, you know, it was a pre-tape thing at his house, so we didn't get to work with him necessarily.
Yeah, and you know, I think he would be interesting. Tom Cruise.
How is Tom Cruise not funny? You know, superstar weirdos. I don't think he's funny. That would be cool.
Lawrence Fishburne. Oh, yeah. Those legends. Wesley Snipes. Has Nicholson ever hosted or no? No. Yeah, I mean, not since I've been there.
We don't do television. I'm a movie star. Right. Oh, there he is. But he came to the 40th.
So I don't know if he's ever hosted.
Is that right?
Is that why he's so happy? I guess so.
Yeah. No. That's the burden of the big D. When it's time to move on, they have a hard time letting go.
Yeah, that was, like, frowned upon.
Yeah.
Oh, that's his sudden smile, too. Got it. Damn. I guess he's got a big dick, too. He looks happy.
He looks like a very happy guy. Damn.
