SNL Transcripts: Mike Myers’ Monologue


Mike Myers’ Monologue

…..Mike Myers
…..cast of “Saturday Night Live”
…..Lorne Michaels


Mike Myers: Thank you. Please stop. It’s great to be back. When I left the show, I took a little time out. Spent time with my family, made a movie called “Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery”, which opens May 2nd. And when I was making Austin Powers – which opens May 2nd – Lorne said, “When you’re done, why don’t you come back and host the show?” And I thought, “Host? Me? No.” See, it was a dream of mine to be on the show since I was a kid. And I had the fortune of spending six unbelievable years here. But I thought I’d never host. Nah. Then I thought, “Wait. A lot of former cast members have come back to host. Chevy. Dan. Bill Murray. And now: me!”

[ Tracy Morgan, Cheri Oteri, Chris Kattan, Will Ferrell, Ana Gasteyer and Molly Shannon surround Mike ]

[ singing ]
“I can’t believe I’m up here now.
I’m doing the monologue.
My head is reeling,
I’m in a fog..”

[ stops singing ]

Hold on, something’s wrong. Molly, why are you so down?

Molly Shannon: My Fortune Teller sketch got cut tonight.

Mike Myers: That’s right. Some sketches get cut after dress rehearsal.

Molly: Yeah, now I’m barely going to be in the show!

Mike: Well, gosh.. if anyone knows how that feels, it sure is me.

[ singing ]
“See, I was like
you guys, too.”
Cast: [ singing ]
“We’re in the cast from week to week
Hoping for a chance to speak.”

Mike Myers: [ singing ]
But now I’m in..”

Come on, guys! [ jumps off the stage ]

“..the entire show.
They can’t take that away from me.
I’m the host; I got to be!”

Cast: “Now you know what total bliss is like!”

: “It’s hosting, it’s hosting, yeah!”

Cast: “You look like a completely different Mike!”

Mike Myers: “It’s from hosting, from hosting, yeah!”[ stops singing when he runs across Lorne Michaels administering the caning of Norm MacDonald in a back hallway ]

Lorne Michaels: ..52…53..

Mike Myers: Hey Lorne!

Lorne Michaels: Mike, you look great! Can I get you a beverage?

Mike Myers: Norm, what’s going on?

Norm MacDonald: Bad dress rehearsal.

Mike Myers: That’s right.. I completely forgot about that. Move over, Norm. My turn.

Lorne Michaels: Mike, what are you doing?

Mike Mysers: Well, I kind of screwed up that line in “Fortune Teller”, and..

Lorne Michaels: Mike, Mike. You’re the host now.

Mike Mysers: [ singing ]
“I love to host..”

Excuse Me, Lorne.

“Excuse my boast.
I used to work it just like you,
Now I’m hosting, someday you could, too.”

Darrell Hammond: You mean someday, when I leave the show, I could be asked to host?

Mike Myers: That’s right, Darrell! And none of your sketches will be cut!

[ Darrell is impressed ]

Mark McKinney: You mean, I could host?

Mike Myers: Sure, you could host, Mark!

Jim Breuer: Even me, Mike!

Mike Myers: Yes, even you Jim. [ walks on, spots Tim Meadows standing around ] Tim! Tim Meadows! Wow, thanks for coming by to
support me!
Tim Meadows: Uh, actually, Mike, I’m still in the cast.

Mike Myers: What? You mean you didn’t leave with Farley and Spade?

Tim Meadows: No.

Mike Myers: Well, I’m sure you’ll host.. Yeah, I’m sure you’ll host.. bye! [ rushes off ]

Tim Meadows: [ singing ]
“Who am I anyway?
Why are contracts so incredibly hard to break?
Oh, I could be out in L.A.!
Why did I sign
A thirty-year contract?
That’s such a long time.
I see that nowwwww..”

[ cut to Mike and the remaining cast back at Home Base ]

Mike Myers: [ singing ]
“So tonight’s the night.
I’m high as a kite!
I can’t explain what this is like,
A life-long dream of a Canuck named Mike!”

Cast: “Now you know what total bliss is like!”

Mike Myers: “It’s hosting, It’s hosting, yeah!”

Cast: You look like a completely different Mike!”

Mike Myers: “I’m hosting, I’m hosting, yeah!”

Cast: “Laa laa laa laa,
laa laa laa laa laa!”

[ Mike tap dances ]

“Laa laa laa laa,
laa laa laa laa laa!”

Mike Myers: [ pulled high by wires ]

“Look at me! Way up high!
Way up here, in the sky!”

Cast: “Look at him! Way up high!
Way up there, in the sky!”

Mike Myers: I’m hosting!

Cast: “Hosting!”

Mike Myers: Hosting! I’m hosting!

Ian Daglers: Very good point!

Andy Gray: And, uh, “Braveheart”; what battle tactics could we learn from this cinematic masterpiece?

Andy Gray: Alright, let’s get down to it, because I’m piss drunk, and I’m gonna be sick!

Ian Daglers: Why do ya suppose it is that, uh.. that soccer and pissing go so well together, hey?!

Andy Gray: Quiz me!

Ian Daglers: Right! Scotland vs. Spain, 1995!

Andy Gray: Ah, that’s easy! Buttons! I found buttons! [ reaches below desk, and drops a packet of buttons onto the counter ]

Ian Daglers: [ surprised ] Hey?

Andy Gray: Aye! A combination of sunstroke and a magnum of Bailey’s Irish Cream had caused me to go on a machete-wielding rampage through the local marts and Spencer’s.. where, according to a police report, I had eaten a plush toy!

Ian Daglers: Was it, a.. Paddington Bear toy, then?

Andy Gray: Aye, it was, actually.

Ian Daglers: How’d it taste?

Andy Gray: Ah, better than you’d think.

Ian Daglers: Hey! I’ve done that. Quiz me!

Andy Gray: Ah, alrighty.. Scotland vs. the Camaroons, 1989.

Ian Daglers: Oh.. oh, I do have a story, but, uh.. it came out my ass!

Andy Gray: [ offscreen ] Judges? [ acceptance bell rings ] Press on!

Ian Daglers: Okay.. uh, after the game, I extracted a piece of the comet Carhutex from my large intestines. Apparently, I had stumbled into the Geological Museum in Aberdeen, and somehow wound up with a piece of an infrequently-returning comet in my rectal chamber, hey!

Andy Gray: If I had a pound for every time that’s happened to me, Jimmy.. I’d have five pounds. Moving on, for those of you heading to the continent for the European Finals, let’s bring on our resident expert of the fighting styles of the various countries!

Ian Daglers: Yes! Please welcome Kevin McCracker!

[ theme music pots up, as Kevin McCracker enters studio to exorbitant enthusiasm from Andy and Ian ]

Andy Gray: Alright, let’s get to it, Kevin..

Ian Daglers: Let’s do it!

Andy Gray: We’ll tell you the country, if you give us the fighting style of said country, starting with Holland.

Kevin McCracker: Fifers.

Ian Daglers: France!

Kevin McCracker: Stompers.

Andy Gray: Belgium!

Kevin McCracker: Soft heads..

Ian Daglers: Uh.. Germany!

Kevin McCracker: That reminds me.. of a time that I ws taken with an old German man. I was talking to him, and he was walking his dog. Suddenly, he says to me.. “May the best.. team.. win..”

[ Andy and Ian slam their steins down, angry at the quote ]

Andy Gray: Bastard!

Ian Daglers: Yeah, he did!

Andy Gray: Bastard!

Ian Daglers: He did!

Kevin McCracker: So! I beat that Nazi bastard to death with his own Shih tzu!

Ian Daglers: [ confused ] A Shih tzu?!

Andy Gray: Ah, ah, ah.. you’d be surprised what you can do with a wee dog.

Ian Daglers: Aye..

Kevin McCracker: Hey, uh.. but if properly applied-

[ they all start talking uncomprehensibly at once ]

Kevin McCracker: But still, I’ve gotta say.. I like the Germans.. they’ve got hard heads!

Andy Gray: I totally agree. I still can’t get over what that retarded German chap did to Monica Seles – now that was first-rate hooliganism!

Ian Daglers: Oh, ya!

Kevin McCracker: That was great!

Andy Gray: Aye. We should really wrap this up. Alright.. join us this weekend, for the Scotland vs. Ireland match, where all professional hooligans will be rooting for..

[ Andy & Ian yell, “Scotland!” as Kevin simultaneously yells, “Ireland!” ]

Ian Daglers: What?!

Andy Gray: Did you say Ireland?

Kevin McCracker: Yeah, I said Ireland! I’m Irish!

Ian Daglers: [ dumbfounded ] Irish?! What are you doin’ on this show, you beady-eyed bastard! Hey!

Andy Gray: No, no, no, no.. come on, everyone’s welcome on this show.. Give us a kiss.. [ reaches his arms to Kevin lovingly, then raises his knee and smashes it into Kevin’s nose ]

[ vomit ]

Ian Daglers: Hey! Hey! How do you feel?

Andy Gray: Ahhh.. better out than in, I always say.

Ian Daglers: [ reaches into Andy’s vomit ] Hey, look! Look what you puked up!

Andy Gray: Ah, it’s my specs! That’s where they went! [ grabs the puke-soaked glasses, puts them on his face ]

Together: [ singing ] “I can see clearly now, my specs are back..!”

Andy Gray: Alright, look at the time.. that’s the end of the show. And I’m Andy Gray!

Ian Daglers: Amd I’m Ian Daglers! Hey!

Andy Gray: Piss off!

Ian Daglers: Hey! Piss off, now!

Andy Gray: [ reaches hand to mouth, worriedly ] Oh, it comes in twos.. it comes in twos..

Tito Jackson: Hi! I’m Tito Jackson! You know, the heavyset fellow from The Jackson Fives?

Both Sides with Jesse Jackson


Both Sides with Jesse Jackson

Jesse Jackson…..Darrell Hammond
Maxine Waters…..David Alan Grier
Johnnie Cochran…..Tim Meadows
Kincaid…..Ana Gasteyer


Jessie Jackson: Welcome to “Both Sides”. The debate over Ebonics – or Black English – is rapidly becoming an issue of the day. Is Ebonics an actual language, or is it just black slang. We must all agree our children must learn basic grammar.. subject-verb conjugation.. spelling.. syntax.. punctuation.. pronouns, adverbs, modifiers, clauses, commas and semicolons help provide.. [ pause ] ..pauses. What’s imperative, and what’s declarative? What’s interrogative? It’s my prerogative. From the upside-down, not Bobbby Brown. Jibbity-jibbity, and rat-a-a-tat-tat. Joining me today in support of Ebonics, Democratic congresswoman Maxine Walters.

Maxine Waters: Pleased to be here.

Jessie Jackson: From our Los Angeles bureau, opposing Ebonics, Defense Attorney Johnnie Cochran.

Johnnie Cochran: This is an outrage!

Jessie Jackson: And, from New York, representing M-TV, which, for years, has been corrupting the English language, political analyst Kincaid.

Kincaid: Oh, my God! Give me five! Reverend Jackson! Oh, my God! That’s totally likeThe Jackson Five! I love that! [ sings from “A.B.C.” ] Oh, my God, I can’t believe I remembered that song, that’s hilarious! What was Tito’s deal?

Jessie Jackson: [ confused ] I have no idea. [ pause ] Congresswoman Waters, you represent a district in Los Angeles considering teaching Ebonics. Could you speak a little now for us and translate, as well.

Maxine Waters: Certainly. To say in Ebonics, “Newt Gingrich is unelectable, and should resign,” it would go: “Gingrich, he be had that Contract with America, but now he off da hizzy, so him ain’t ever be playin’ in the white crib, y’all!”

Johnnie Cochran: Now, Congresswoman Waters, you know, that’s an outrageous statement! How can you show such disrespect for the English language? I’d be a failure at my job if I didn’t speak English good!

Jessie Jackson: Congresswoman, do you believe our government should play a role in officially promoting Ebonics?

Maxine Waters: Jesse, I don’t trust the United States government! The CIA is currently smuggling drugs from Nicaragua, and spreading them in our African-American communities! Not to mention, the FBI single-handedly stopping the Buffalo Bills from winning the Superbowl!

Johnnie Cochran: Now that statement was an outrage! You have to be a damn fool to believe that the police could be involved in a conspiracy against African-Americans! That’s prepostorous!

Jessie Jackson: Uh, Johnnie, we’re not talking drugs, crackpipes, the chronics.. we’re here to discuss our subject, language – Ebbabonics.

Kincaid: Oh, my God! Jesse! Can I just say something? It’s like, Ebonics is a way of educating society on cultural sensitivity. And we’re, like, in a nation right now where it’s hard for blacks to hit the big time. You know, not everyone’s the Jeffersons. Oh, my God, “The Jeffersons”! Like, “Moving on up, moving on up. To the East Side, to the East Side!” Oh, my God! You guys made me remember that song! That is totally hilarious! Remember Weezy?

Johnnie Cochran: Weezy was an outrage!

Jessie Jackson: Congresswoman Waters, what can we do with our unloved, unwanted, uneducated young people, who lack the skills to get a real job – like Kincaid, for example?

Maxine Waters: Well, this issue is explosive. I found that out on my fact-finding trip to Nicaragua.

Kincaid: Oh, my God, did you just say “explosive”! Like, “Dy-no-mite!” Oh, my God, I’m like so J.J. Walker!

Maxine Waters: Kincaid, you are inappropriate, annoying, and misinformed! Or, to say that in Ebonics: “Bitch, you be trippin’!”

Jessie Jackson: At this time, I think you point out one of the problems with Ebonics. It perpetuates linguistic abuse from generation to generation, mother to daughter, father to son.

Kincaid: Oh, my God, that’s like so totally father and son, like “Sanford & Son”! Like.. [ hums theme song ] Oh, my God! “It’s the big one! It’s the big one!” Oh, my God, Fred Sandford is like total genius, I love that!

Jessie Jackson: Kincaid, your racial bias is quite ironic, as we try to discuss Ebony-bonic.

Kincaid: Oh, my God, you guys, did you hear that! That was, like, so totally cool! Hew totally sound like, you know, one of the teachers on Charlie Brown! It’s like.. [ mimics non-speaking teacher noises ] Oh, my God! I’m, like, totally been gleened on Charlie Brown reruns! And oh my God, you guys! Rerun! Remember Rerun? It’s like.. [ hums “What’s Happenin’?” theme ]

Jessie Jackson: Kincaid.. Kincaid.. girl, shut your mouth!! Young lady, now we’re just about out of time. Any final thoughts?

Maxine Waters: Yes. I have evidence that Kincaids was constructed by the CIA, as a terrorist action against urban minorities.

Kincaid: “Whatchoo talkin’ ’bout, Willis?!”

Johnnie Cochran: [ outraged ] Now, come on now! Terrorist action.. me hiding a bloody knife somewhere in my Brentwood apartment.. This is a bunch of nonsense!

Jessie Jackson: Bu-bu-bu-but, Johnnie.. we’re not talking about a bloody knife.

Johnnie Cochran: I rest my case.

Jessie Jackson: Great. Ladies and gentlemen, we are about out of time. Join us next week on “Both Sides”, when we will discuss another topic. And, until that time, keep hope alive.

…..David Alan Grier


David Alan Grier: Thanks a lot! [ chuckles ] You know, it is so great to be back here, hosting “Saturday Night Live”. now, as you know, Monday is President Clinton’s inauguration.

Random Audience Member Reaction: Uh-huh.

Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah.. he’s going to serve his second term, and I’m proud to say that I voted for Clinton – uh, George Clinton, because I thought we needed some P-Funk in da White House! Anyway, a lot of celebrities have been invited to participate. In fact, I wrote a song for the occasion. So, since I have a live audience right here, I thought tonight would be a perfect time for me to sing the song I’m hoping to do at the Inaugural.

[ music pots up ]

David Alan Grier: Alright, now let’s slow it down. Mr. President. Ahhhhh, yeahhhh! You know, tonight is all about Y-O-U. So, sit back and put down that Arch Deluxe that you’re chewing too fast. That’s right.

Tonight, make your home state of Arkansas real proud. Arkansas! Home of that banjo player from “Deliverance”. You know, the big-headed boy – he scares me!

But, you, my man, you inspire me, Mr. President. The way you grab an issue and then, real slow, switch positions over and over and over again! Man, that feels good!

And let’s not forget about the First-Lady – hey, girl! You know, you two make the perfect couple. You and Bill are the Peaches & Herb of the free world.

Now, you know, I know I’ve been talking a little bit too much. So, I guess, what I really want to say is..

[ singing ]

“Let’s get butt-naked in the White House
Ahhhhh, we’re gonna pass some legislation
and sign a new Health Care Bill.

Come on, let’s get butt-naked in the White House
Ooh, we gonna have a free party
Free party up on Capitol Hill!

Newt Gringrich, butt-naked!
The whole Congress, butt-naked!
Strom Thurmond, don’t you get naked at the free party!
Free party, up on Capitol Hill!”

Thank you so much! Now, we got a great show – Snoop Doggy Dogg is in the hizzouse! So, stick around, and we’ll be right back!

Weekend Update with Norm MacDonald


Weekend Update with Norm MacDonald

Announcer: Weekend Update, with Norm MacDonald.

Norm MacDonald: Good evening! I’m Norm MacDonald, and this is the fake news.

Our top story tonight: Late yesterday, the House subcommittee investigating Newt Gingrich finally issued its long-awaited report, recommending that the Speaker be given a reprimand and a $300,000 fine for “minor ethical violations”. Gingrich has promised to come up with the money promptly, although he admits it is going to involve “giant ethical violations”.

Meanwhile, with President Clinton’s second inaugural approaching, the tension has turned to what the women will be wearing at the festivities. According to the White House, First-Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton will wear a gown by Oscar Delorante; Tipper Gore will appear in a Jennifer George ensemble; and Attorney-General Janet Reno will be outfitted by Rochester Big & Tall.

This week, in arguments before the Supreme Court, lawyers for President Clinton asked that the sexual harrassment suit, brought by Paula Jones, be delayed until he leaves office. According to Clinton’s attorney, “If the President were hauled into court every time some nut accused him of sexual harrassment, he’d have no time to ‘scare up tail'”.

Norm MacDonald: He likes scaring up the tail! Okay!

In dramatic testimony this week at his civil trial, O.J. Simpson said he didn’t commit suicide only because, “My mother told me you don’t go to heaven if you kill yourself.” Oddly, his mother did say, “It’s okay to kill other people.”

In Atlanta this week, two separate bomb blasts rocked a building which houses an abortion clinic. Asked if there were any suspects, an FBI spokesman said, “We don’t want to rush to judgment like we did in the Olympic Park bombing case,” but then added, “It’s Richard Jewell.”

Basketball star Michael Jordan has scored a slam dunk with his new men’s fragrance, selling one-and-a-half million bottles of Michael Jordan cologne in the first two months. No, the scent does not smell like michael Jordan after a game; it smells like Patrick Ewing. Smells good!

This week, the Rev. Jesse Jackson called for an end to his boycott of auto maker Mitsubishi, citing improvements in job opportunities for minorities, and also the fact that he couldn’t find a word that rhymes with Mitsubishi.

Norm MacDonald: The controversy surrounding Michael Irving continues. Here with a commentary, our good friend Colin Quinn. Hey, Col!

Colin Quinn: Thank you, Norm. Thank you, folks. Thank you. So now the media has falsely accused Michael Irving. We all thought he was guilty, and now we owe him an apology. I’m not going to apologize to him! Why should? Nobody ever apologizes to me for anything! I’ll apologize to him when the people that owe me an apology, apologize to me!

But he is right about the hypocrisy over his indiscretions, because, let’s face it, we’ve all been there. It’s five o’clock in the morning, you’ve done a quarter-ounce of coke in under two hours, and there’s two prostitutes ripping your hotel room apart looking for the rest of the stash.. meanwhile, you’re lying on the bathroom floor, the bathtub is overflowing, but you can’t get up to turn the water off, your nose is bleeding, you’re sweating , you can’t stop crying, your heart stops beating every thirty seconds, and you’re thinking, “Am I gonna be able to play football today?” And, of course, when these incidents happen, we all ask ourselves the same question: “Was it a white girl?”

Now, the Cowboys are saying, “We didn’t know he had a drug problem.” Really? Do you know a lot of people not on drugs who wear gold suits? He’s supposed to be sitting on the sidelines inspiring his team, he looks like he should be shooting pool with Starsky & Hutch. So what I’m saying is yes, the media’s wrong to spend so much time talking about Michael Irving. But, on the other hand, if you don’t want people to talk about you, don’t dress like Krystal Carrington.

So, Michael, you don’t get your apology. But at least, you should be happy – your scandals involve real girls. Look at someone like Richard Jewell. He’s the one who deserves an apology. The cops searched his house, they said they found a housegul of porno. The whole country knows he’s collecting porno, and, you know.. I mean, he can’t even touch himself in peace! You want to talk about a violation of civil rights. I mean, that’s every guy’s worst nightmare, right? When you’re a teenager, and you’d be playing with yourself, you look outside the window and there’s 500 cops standing there, telling you to come out with your hands up! So, Richard Jewell, you deserve an apology!

Norm MacDonald: Colin Quinn, everybody! Colin Quinn. I owe Colin an apology, I thought that piece would die!

In New York, state-of-the-art self-cleaning toilets may soon appear on city streets. In a survey, New Yorkers expressed their enthusiasm for the outdoor toilets, noting that they are very easy to urinate on.

Beginning in March, D.C. Comics will change Superman’s traditional red and blue costume to a new form-fitting bodysuit. The problem with the old costume? Not gay enough.

What the hell’s going on in the country? That’s not Superman!

Last week, in Canastota, New York, fight promoter Don King was elected to the International Boxing Hall of Fame. King graciously thanked the Hall of Fame for the honor, then took all its money and left it bankrupt.

In Springfield, Missouri, the local cable company mistakenly aired five minutes of explicit sex scenes from the Playboy Channel on the Cartoon Network, during an episode of “The Flintstones”. Experts say that children who saw the broadcast called it the “greatest Flintstones episode ever!”

In literary news, the ever-reclusive J.D. Salinger will publish his first book in 34 years. Asked what inspired him to finally write again, Salinger said, “Get the hell off my lawn!”

Following the passage of a new city ordinance, strippers are now forbidden to give lap dances in the city of Houston, Texas. Or, as I refer to it: Nazi, Germany.

That’s ridiculous! Completely ridiculous!

Finally, according to the U.S. News & World Report 1997 Career Guide, the bet job in the United States, for the second year in a row, is Interactive Business System Analyst. However, last year’s worst job, Assistant Crack Whore, has been replaced by a new worst job: Crack Whore Trainee.

Norm MacDonald: And that’s the way it is. Good night, folks!
