LeBron James: Thank you very much! It’s great to be here tonight. My name is LeBron James — [ audience cheers ] and I play basketball for the Cleveland Cavaliers. For those of you who don’t watch basketball, this past season we went to the NBA finals and we swept the San Antonio Spurs in four games. And for those of you who do watch basketball, be cool and shut up. There’s no reason to ruin it for everybody else! [ laughs ] I love being here in New York, but right now I want to say “Hi!” to my family watching back in Akron. Guys — I know you’re all happy for me, and I wish you could be here for me tonight.
[ reveal LeBron’s dad, brother, and baby brother watching his performance at their home in Akron ]
Dad: [ outraged ] Says he wish we were there for him!
Brother: They damn sure don’t pick the hosts — [ pats down his hair ] based on looks.
Baby Brother: [ waking up ] Did I miss anything?
Dad: You didn’t miss nothin’! Just a man onstage tellin’ a BUNCH of lies! How come he won’t call me back?!
Baby Brother: He text-messaged.
Dad: I ain’t text-messagin’ anybody! A phone is supposed to be a phone!
[ Brother’s cell phone rings ]
Brother: [ picks up ] I’m gonna have to call you back, Baby. I’m watching “Saturday Night Live.” I thought they cancelled it after Eddie Murphy, too.
Dad: Be quiet! I wanna see if it’s gonna get any better.
Baby Brother: I think he’s doing great!
Dad: [ defensive ] What do you know?! You’re just a kid! If an old man tells you somethin’ is not good.. then it’s not good! It’s just the way of the world!
[ back at Home Base, LeBron makes a final mark on a chalkboard ]
LeBron James: — And that’s how you fix our health care system. [ smiles ] It’s not that hard! [ audience applauds ] We have a good show for you tonight — Kanye West is here, so stick around, we’ll be right back.

C. Micah Kring: Ohhh! Oooo! Wooo! Ohhh! Ohh. I still have long interpret dreams that involve that intro. Don’t we all? There was nothing else like it! There was also nothing else like watching the Solid Gold dancers moving slowly to very fast songs.
[pans over to dancers, with Alexzander holding a very big cape to an old 1980s show theme song. He opens the cape, and the other 4 come out slowly dancing and crawling very very slowly. Eventually they all retreat, and Alexzander closes the cape back up. It pans back to C. Micah Kring]

C. Micah Kring: [over-acting with laughter] Do I need to say any more?!? If you’re like me, you picked up the phone the moment the word ‘solid’ came out of my mouth!

[ open on suburban kitchen, two little kids crouched on the floor next to their lethargic pet dog ]
Kids: Mommy! Mommy!
[ Mom comes running ]
Mom: What is it?
Boy: The Ryans’ dog bit Daisy again.
Girl: Daisy didn’t even do anything!
Mom: Daisy, don’t let that mean dog do this to you.
Spokesman: It hurts to see the dog you love picked on and tormented by other dogs. You can’t make it stop, only your dog can — by standing up to the bullies and fighting back. And now, there’s a dog food that can help. Angry Dog. [ holds up the bag, complete with Michael Vick on the package ] Other dog foods may be more nutritious, but Angry Dog has something special. It’s powerful combination of synthetic testoterone and seven psychoactive drugs go right to your dog’s brain like a perfect touchdown pass, leaving it excitable, on-edge, combative, with a defiant chip on its shoulder. And quick to respond with violence to any slight — real or imagined. In short, an attitude that says to the world, “Don’t you DARE f–k with me! Don’t you EVER f–k with me!!”
Angry Dog is formulated for ALL breeds:
[ in the woods, a Sportsman shoots his kill ]
Sporting dogs.
[ his dog runs into a thicket ]
Sportsman: Here, boy!
[ the dog tears apart the kill ]
Spokesman: Working dogs.
[ a German Shephard seeing-eye dog yanks a Blind Man across the street while barking at other pedestrians to get out of his way ]
Blind Man: Good girl!
Spokesman: Performing dogs.
[ two miniature poodles in clown costumes push each other on a wagon while barking manaiacally at one another ]
Spokesman: Or just old, old friends.
[ an old man sits by the fireplace reading, his faithful but ferocious dog at his feet ]
Old Man: Good girl.
[ cut back to the suburban kitchen, “Six weeks later”, as the kids come running in with the pet dog ]
Kids: Mom! Mom!
Mom: Alright, what’s the big news?
Boy: [ teeth marks and scratches all over his face ] Daisy bit the UPS man!
Girl: [ scratch marks on her cheek, gauze over a missing left eye ] And he’s hiding in his truck!
Mom: [ proudly ] Did you do that, Daisy Dog?
[ growls ]
Mom: Oh!
Spokesman: Your dog CAN be a killer. Angry Dog can help.

[ dissolve to close-up of the faculty page in a high school yearbook ]
Narrator: January, 2003. Larry Baines, guidance counselor at St. Vincent-St. Mary High School in Akron, Ohio, had a meeting with a student that’s still talked about amongst guidance counselors to this day.
[ dissolve to Mr. Baines’ office, as student LeBron James enters ]
LeBron James: Hi, Mr. Baines.
Larry Baines: [ beaming ] Heeeeyyyy! LeBron! [ they shake hands ] Take a seat, take a seat! [ chuckles as they both sit ] Hey — so, uh, what’d you want to talk to me about?
LeBron James: Well, I’ve been thinking a lot about my future —
Larry Baines: Good, good, good! Well, you came to the right guy! What’s on your mind?
LeBron James: Well, I’ve been told if I’m cleared for the NBA, I’d be the number-one draft pick.
Larry Baines: [ impressed ] Hey, wow! That’s fantastic news!
LeBron James: But I’ve been giving it a lot of thought now, and I’ve decided I want to go to college.
Larry Baines: [ stunned ] I’m sorry — what?!
LeBron James: [ proudly ] I’m going to go to college!
Larry Baines: Okay, okay — uh — you know, LeBron — college might not be the right path for you, right?
LeBron James: [ confused ] I thought you would be happy?
Larry Baines: Well, you know, LeBron — do you know what a contract in the NBA is worth? You know, I — I mean, it would take one-thousand of me, uh — one-thousand years just to make your signing bonus!
LeBron James: But you’ve always talked about the importance of a college scholarship.
Larry Baines: Okay, alright, well, uh — uh — I mean, do you know who has a college education, LeBron? [ a beat ] I do! [ laughs ] I mean, you know — LOOK at me! My shirt doesn’t have long sleeves — you know, I make my own lunch — you know, I share an office with Glenn —
[ a wide shot suddenly reveals Glenn seated at an adjacent desk ]
Glenn: Don’t say it like that..
Larry Baines: Shut up, Glenn!
LeBron James: But — I’ve always dreamed of getting a diploma.
Larry Baines: What? Oh, you want a diploma? Oh, well, here! [ he stands and pulls his diploma off the wall ] There you go! I’ll sell you mine! POW!! There you go, that’ll be one million dollars! [ laughs ] Now you only have two-hundred million bucks left!
LeBron James: But won’t I be ashamed to work with the people who went to college?
Larry Baines: What? Okay, well, you know how you get over that? You DUNK on ’em! You just take a basketball, you dunk it right on their heads! Then you put your arms up and you say, “I guess they didn’t teach you how to stop LeBron James in college — BITCH!!”
Glenn: Larry! Language.
Larry Baines: Glenn! SHUT UP!! [ turns back to LeBron ] LeBron, listen to me — I drive a ’93 Corolla. Okay? When I go over 50, the glove compartment pops open. Now, I went to college for four years — FOUR years, LeBron. And I have no idea how to make a glove compartment stay shut. So you know what I have to do? I have to take it to a shop, where a fuy — who didn’t go to college — says he can fix it for four-hundred dollars! You know what that makes me want to do, LeBron? It makes me want to og back to my college, and burn it to the ground.
LeBron James: Wow, Mr. Baines.
Larry Baines: Yeah.. yeah. Don’t go to — don’t go to college! No, you don’t know something — just Google it!
LeBron James: [ smiles ] Thanks, Mr. Baines!
Larry Baines: Absolutely! [ LeBron stands ] Get out of here, you knucklehead! Alright! [ laughs ]
[ LeBron exits the office. ]
Glenn: You know, I find that, uh, duct tape does a pretty good job of keeping my glove compartment shut —
Larry Baines: Glenn, I swear to God — I swear to God, Glenn.
[ Larry returns to his work as Glenn just nods in defeat ]
An Address from the All-But-Certain-To-Be Next President
Hillary Clinton…..Amy Poehler Bill Clinton…..Darrell Hammond
[ open on Presidential seal with modified text ]
Announcer: The following is an address from the all-but-certain-to-be next President of the United States — Hillary Rodham Clinton.
[ dissolve to Bill Clinton sitting in a chair pretending to read a book, as Hillary enters frame ]
Hillary Clinton: Bill?
Bill Clinton: [ feigning surprise ] Oh! I’m sorry. Is this, uh, not a good place to read?
Hillary Clinton: Actually, I was about to start.
Bill Clinton: Okay. Yeah. Sure, of course — of course you were.
[ ever the camera hog, Bill lingers on the edge of the frame until a dirty look from Hillary makes him leave completely ]
Hillary Clinton: [ smiles to the camera ] Good evening, my fellow Americans. A little more than a year from now, you, the American people, will go to the polls and elect me President of the United States. I want you to know I will be humbled and honored by the trust you have placed in me. To my as-yet-undetermined Republican opponent — the candidate I will have defeated — I want to compliment you — whoever you turn out to be — in advance, on running what I am sure will have been an honorable, albeit losing campaign. A campaign in which you, no doubt, have raised important issues. Issues that, unfortunately, will have gone largely unnoticed, since virtually everyone will assume — correctly, as it turns out — that you have no chance in winning.
And now, a word to my seven fellow Democratic candidates for president — thos I am about to defeat for our party’s nomination. I have so admired the pluck and determination all of you have displayed, in what I imagine, for you, must be an awfully discouraging campaign.
[ picture of Barack Obama appears ] You, Barack Obama, with your almost childlike faith in people’s basic decency, and your near total lack of experience in government.
[ picture of Chris Dodd appears ] And you, Chris Dodd, whose campaign fundraising efforts I have worked so hard to sabotage, often with violence or threats of violence.
[ picture of Joe Biden appears ] And you, Joe Biden, with those obvious plugs you seem to think no one notices. They are so very enormous, and so very endearing.
[ picture of Bill Richardson appears ] And you, Bill Richardson, whom I have not yet had the pleasure of meeting, but understand are part Colombian, or Mexican, or something.
[ picture of Mike Gravel appears ] And you, Mike Gravel, you dear, dear crazy old man.
[ picture of John Edwards appears ] And you, John Edwards, you phony, two-faced, ambulance-chasing little rat bastard.
[ picture of Dennis Kucinich appears ] And finally — my sweet, teeny-tiny, itsy-bitsy miniature friend, Dennis Kucinich. Somehow, I think I’ll miss you most of all.
Now, in 2016, when I will have completed my second term as President, and will, thus, be ineligible to run again — unless, of course, the laws change. And it really is a strange law. [ laughs ]
Bill Clinton: [ jumps in ] I totally agree! That law makes absolutely no sense in the 21st Century!
Hillary Clinton: Bill.
Bill Clinton: What? I’m agreeing! [ waves to the camera ] Hey.
Hillary Clinton: In any case — in any case, should I be unable to run again in 2016, and should one or all of you, my former fellow candidates, then decide to make a second — this time, more realistic bid at the White House — well, I think that would be just super! Who knows? 2016 could finally be your year to shine. And I believe that any one of you would make a very, very good president. I really do! And, should that happen, know that Bill and I will be pulling for you, from our new positions as, respectively, the United Nations Secretary General and Pope. Watching fondly as you finally spread your wings and fly. But that’s 2016. Should I not have an opportunity to speak with any of you before then, I wish you al the best. And, rest assured, each of you, plus one guest, will have a seat in the rear of the grandstand at my 2009 and 2013 inaugurals. Seats which I hope, but cannot absolutely guarantee, will not be obstructed by a column.
God bless you all, and “Live, from New York, it’s Saturday Night!”

Rocsi: Alright, alright, alright! Welcome back to “106 & Park”! I’m Rocsi — this is Terrence — and we’re here with Kanye West! [ audience cheers ] Alright. So, Kanye, we were talking earlier about some of the bad press you received for your behavior at awards shows.
Kanye West: Yeah?
Terrence: Well, you famously took the stage and protested the 2006 European Music Awards, and, at the VMA’s this year, cameras caught you backstage visibly upset that you hadn’t won.
Kanye West: Yeah?
Rocsi: So how do you defend yourself from claims that you’re a poor loser and a crybaby?
Kanye West: I mean — I’m not here to defend myself! I mean, it’s no offense to the other artists, but I’m just passionate about my music, and, really, those are just isolated incidents, and they — they’ve just been blown way out of proportion!
Terrence: [ scoffs ] Okay. BUt what about your appearance at the Kid’s Choice Awards this year?
Kanye West: I mean — I mean, that was NOTHIN’, dawg!
Rocsi: Alright, well, let’s show that clip.
[ dissolve to Dakota Fanning standing onstage at the Kid’s Choice Awards ]
Dakota Fanning: It’s so weird that they asked me, Dakota Fanning, to present the award for Best TV Show — because I don’t even OWN a TV! And the Kid’s Choice Award for Best TV Show is — [ opens the envelope ] “Drake & Josh”!
[ Drake & Josh step forward to claim their award. But so does Kanye West. ]
Kanye West: Hell, no! Aw, hell — yo! No disrespect, man, like — I don’t even — I haven’t seen your show, I don’t even WATCH Nickolodeon! But.. HOW.. the hell.. they not gonna give a Kid’s Choice Award to Kanye West?! How Kid’s gonna be taken seriously if they keep making bad choices?! I used to believe children were our future — but F–K that!!
[ Kanye grabs the award from Drake & Josh, then exits the stage ]
[ dissolve back to “106 & Park” ]
Terrence: I — I don’t know. You seemed upset, Kanye.
Kanye West: I mean — I really deserved that Kid’s Choice Award!
Terrence: But it was for Best TV Show. You don’t have a TV show.
Kanye West: I AM the greatest show on Earth! And I want to apologize for that.
Rocsi: Okay. But do you think you’re the best scientist on Earth?
Kanye West: I mean — perhaps. You know, it’s not about the — the Nobel Peace Prize!
Terrence: Yeah, let’s roll the clip.
[ dissolve to the Nobel Peace Prize ceremony ]
Presenter: It is my.. distinct honor to present the Nobel Prize for Physics to John C. Mather and George F. Smoot.. for their discoveries in the cosmic microwave bac —
[ Suddenly, Kanye West jumps onstage ]
Kanye West: Oh, HELL no!! Who’s picking this, man?! How the hell the Nobel Pace Prize for PHYSICS gonna go to ANYBODY but me?! That’s ridiculous! My album went Gold in a day, babe! My album went Gold in a DAY!! [ to the two scientists ] I ain’t heard of NONE of y’all theories! But if the Nobel Peace Prize isn’t going to ME.. the Nobel Peace Prize LOSES.. credibi — [ a spliced-in expletice is bleeped out ]
[ Kanye runs off the stage ]
[ dissolve back to “106 & Park” ]
Rocsi: Wow. So what happened there, Kanye?
Kanye West: I mean — you can’t trust the media. They edited that to make me look bad!
Terrence: Alright. Well, how do you explain your behavior at the Thistle Down County Fair last week?
Kanye West: I mean — I — I ain’t gonna hurt — that’s just wrongness!
Rocsi: Well, there was actually a camera there.
Kanye West: That’s freakin’ cameras!
Rocsi: Take a look at the tape!
[ dissolve to the NThistle Down County Fair ]
Mayor: And the Blue ribbon for Best Pumpkin goes to little Abigail Winters. [ hands the ribbon to the ltitle girl ] How old old are you, Abigail?
Little Girl: I’m eight years old.
Kanye West: Oh, heeeeellll no! [ he runs in carrying a pumpkin under his arms ] I got the best pumpkin! This pumpkin cost a MILLION dollars, man! [ hands it to the Mayor and lifts the top off ] It’s got champagne in it! How I lose to a eight year old?! [ grabs the ltitle girls’ ribbon ] You got a lot of years — you got a lot of years you can win this! I been doing this too long, man! I been doing this too long!
[ Kanye runs away from the scene ]
[ dissolve back to “106 & Park” ]
Terrence: Wow. Damn, That’s pretty uncool, Kanye.
Kanye West: I mean — anybody with a trained eye can see that that was done with, uhh — computers. And, uhh — they CSI’ed me!
Terrence: You mean, CGI?
Kanye West: I mean, it doesn’t matter! I wasn’t there!
Terrence: Yes, but were you backstage at “Saturday Night Live” this weekend?
Kanye West: Of course I was!
Rocsi: Then, can you explain this?
[ dissolve to Kanye West frantically pacing in his dressing room at “Saturday Night Live” ]
Kanye West: Man, HOW they gonna have me on “Saturday Night Live” and I ain’t gonna host, man?! Seriously, man?! How they gonna have LeBron James over ME, man?! I’m TEN times the performer, man!
