Monologue Jim Carrey as Helvis Sings About Pecan Pie

Jim Carrey

[Starts with SNL monologue intro]

Announcer: Ladies and gentlemen, Jim Carrey.

[Jim Carry walks in and to the stage. He is wearing red funky clothes and he has horns on his head.]

[cheers and applause]

Jim Carrey: Thank you. Thank you. No, you might as well stop. It will never be enough. I am so excited to be here hosting the Halloween episode of Saturday Night Live.

[cheers and applause]

Yeah! Yes. I personally love Halloween. Everyone dresses up in crazy outfits and acts insane. It’s the one day of year that I actually blend in. For this Halloween, I’ve decided to be a bit of a hybrid. I call this ‘Helvis’. Now, we all know that Helvis went to heaven. That’s easy enough to prove. But while he was here, he did like to raise a little hell.

[people howling at the back]

He also really loved peanut butter and banana sandwiches. But eventually, he came to an important realization.

[Acting like Elvis Presley]

Man cannot live on fried peanut butter and sandwiches alone. I mean,what about dessert?

[music stars playing and Jim Carrey starts singing and dancing]

Well it’s late at night and I’m a hungry man
we’ve been howling with the beat of band
and I kind of emptied down in my soul
jelly in my belly starts to rock n’ roll
Is that a red finer diner by the side of the road
I got to order something out of the mode
I’ll have a pecan pie
I’ll have a pecan pie

Later at the house I’m gonna have some fun
turning up the TV with a loaded gun
Racked a bit karate and I get it right
working up my king size appetite
Is that a red thick thing to the store
I got to order what I have before,
I’ll have a pecan pie
I’ll have a pecan pie
I’ll have a pecan pie
I’ll have a pecan pie
I’ll have a pecan pie
I’ll have a pecan pie
I’ll have a pecan pie

When I say jump, all of my dude
I can use a power like a voodoo
before the show in Honolulu
I said to crew, when I’m through
I’ll have a pecan pie

[Four SNL cast members join Jim Carrey as back up singers and dancers]

I’ll have a pecan pie
I’ll have a pecan pie
I’ll have a pecan pie
I’ll have a pecan pie
I’ll have a pecan pie

Next day at 3 I’ma coming around
climbing off the charts but I’m feeling down
gonna be painting out a lot of loots
all the eating get to making me a bigger suit
smoking little dubbies hit around and talk
then my blood sugar’s dropping like a rock
I need a pecan pie
I need a pecan pie

[Other SNL cast members join Jim Carrey as back up singers and dancers]

I need a pecan pie
I need a pecan pie
I need a pecan pie
I need a pecan pie
I need a pecan pie
I need a pecan pie

[everybody on the stage are clapping while singing]

I need a pecan pie
I need a pecan pie
I need a pecan pie
I need a pecan pie
I need a pecan pie
I need a pecan pie
I need a pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa papa wants a pecan pie

That song made me hungry. Hey red, [Bobby Moynihan appears infront of Helvis] You’re gonna sit here all day with that stupid look in your face while I starve to death? Or you’re gonna up your ass and get me a pecan pie.

[Jim Carrey sings again]

I don’t want a cherry
No more ordinary

[Bobby Moynihan gets him a pie on a plate]

Hallelujah
Finally got a pecan pie!

[Jim Carrey eats the pie and spits it out.]

That’s a lemon pie, man!

Bobby Moynihan: Got you! Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha. [Bobby Moynihan leaves]

[music starts again]

Jim Carrey: We’ll be right back. Iggy Azalea is here. Helvis has left the building.

[cheers and applause]
