Robert Downey, Jr.’s Monologue

…..Robert Downey, Jr.

Robert Downey, Jr.: Thank you very much. Good evening. Wow, it’s great to be back here on “Saturday Night Live”. I was actually a cast member on the show ten years ago, and, in case you’re wondering why I’m hosting, well, actually, I’ve been invited back as part of their “Distinguished Alumni” series. Anyway, things are good with me.. you know, basically just been the same old same old. I did have a really interesting summer, though. In fact, I’ve brought some slides of what I did on my summer vacation. Would you like to see them?

Well, it wouldn’t be Summer without hosting a barbecue..

Yeah.. here’s me picking up a little prescription from my pharmacist..

..and here’s me and my personal trainer..

That guy works me hard, he really does. But it’s worth it when you take off your shirt at the beach, which is where I was going in this next picture..

[ show picture of Robert being arrested by two cops ]

Yeah, you know.. you go with your buddies in the car pool lane, it’s sweet. And here’s me at Disney Land..

[ show Robert posed with Mickey Mouse ]

This next one’s of me when I stayed at this terrific guest house in Malibu..

It’s actually two doors down from my own house. But, you know.. anyway..

[ show picture of car with the hood blown off ]

Whoops! how’d that get in there? That’s from Kelsey Grammar’s summer vacation.

And finally what would summer be without a hot summer romance?

[ show picture of Robert in jail cell with a fellow inmate ]

Well, that was my summer. I made some new friends, got to visit a lot of interesting places.. We’ve got a great show, Fiona Apple is here. So stick around. we’ll be right back!
