[ Music Intro: “Start Me Up” ]

David Letterman: Alright.. okay, kids,welcome back to the big show, folks! So, Paul, I’m on the subway today, uh.. you, you, you ever been on the subway, Paul?

Paul Shaffer: Uh.. subway. Subway, right. Yeah.

David Letterman: Yeah! Yeah! So, this guy walks up to me, he looks me right in the eye, he gives me one of these: [ mimicking ] “Uh.. uh.. you got any gum?” Hahaha-haaa!! [ mimicking ] “Uh.. uh.. you got any gum?” Hahaha-haaa!

Paul Shaffer: Ah ha-haha-haha! Yeah, so, uh, he asked you for some gum.

David Letterman: Ah, that’s right! [ makes face for the audience ] Alright, in a couple of seconds, William Hurt will be out here, kids, and Blues Traveler. Later on, actor Robert Wuhl will be joining us. Hey, you hear that, Paul? Robert Wuhl will be out here! Do you enjoy his work, Paul?

Paul Shaffer: Yeah! Bob Wuhl! Good. Yeah.

David Letterman: Yeah. Well, you know, he’s on a new program over there on the HBO. Do you, do you enjoy the HBO, Paul?

Paul Shaffer: Yeah. HBO. Cable. Great. Yeah.

David Letterman: Yeah, well, he’s got a show over there called “Arli$$”.. and he plays, uh.. he plays Arli$$. Do you, do you enjoy the “Arli$$” show, Paul?

Paul Shaffer: Oh, yeah! Yeah! Yeah.

David Letterman: Yeah, well.. he’s Arli$$.

Paul Shaffer: Oh, yeah! Yeah, he’s Arli$$. He plays Arli$$ on the show.

David Letterman: [ suddenly ] Hahaha-haaaa!! Well, anyway, he’s gonna be out in a little while! [ tugs his collar and wipes sweat off his brow with index card ] Arli$$! Ha ha haaa!! Can you imagine such a thing, Paul? Ah ha ha ha!! Haa haa! [ laughter segues into fake head-down coughing ] Arli$$! Ha ha! Okay, kids, our first guest, you’ve seen in such films as “The Big Chill” and “Broadcast News”. Now he’s a star in the runaway box office smash, “Michael”. Please welcome back to the program, William Hurt. William! [ William Hurt enters, played in with “Hurt So Good” ] Ahhh.. let me just say, William, before we begin, I saw your new picture, “Michael”, and by gosh I can’t tell you how much I enjoyed it. Just a fine piece of work, and it must have been very satisfying for you.

William Hurt: Well, thank you. I’m very proud of this film. When I first read it, I just fell in love with the script, you know? It is a life-affirming story about an angel, who is a sort of cellestial rescuer of lives, you know? I guess we have all gone adrift in some way, you know? He has us just embrace the small miracles in some way..

David Letterman: [ bored, interrupts ] “Uh.. uh.. you got any gum?”

William Hurt: What?

David Letterman: “Uh.. uh.. you got any gum?” Ha haaa!!

Paul Shaffer: Ah ha ha ha!

David Letterman: Ah ha ha! Let me ask you this: you’re a bigshot actor, you do like 90 films a year. Now, that seems to me like just a Herculian task.

William Hurt: Well, it’s not so hard, when you are working with fine performers who are generous, you know?

David Letterman: Yeah, yeah, I imagine, sure.

William Hurt: Andie MacDowell’s performance in this movie really drove the story..

David Letterman: Oh-ho, Andie MacDowell! Did Andie MacDowell ever give you one of these? [ starts mimicking boxer moves ] Ha haa!! Huh? Hee hee! Can you imagine such a thing? Just, boom! Boom! Ha ha ha haaa!!

Paul Shaffer: Ah ha, ha ha ha ha!

William Hurt: What is your trip?

David Letterman: Hee hee-ee-ee!! Okay, now, when you play a character that experiences such an epithany in a film like this, as an actor, now that transformation has to be quite taxing on you.

William Hurt: Yes, well, you can’t underestimate the value of what it means to get inside of a character..

David Letterman: Oh, oh, hey! Let me ask you this: Do you enjoy the “Arli$$” show?

William Hurt: What?

David Letterman: “Arli$$”! Ha ha ha ha!! [ tugs collar, smiles ] “Uh.. uh.. uh.. you got any gum?” Ha ha ha ha!

William Hurt: Why do you keep asking me if I have gum?

David Letterman: Now, I understand that you have a clip. Would youl ike to set up your clip?

William Hurt: Well, yes. This is a scene from the movie, “Michael”, in which I play..

[ music starts playing ]

David Letterman: Oh, oh, oh! You know what that sound means, folks! Every once in a while we like to go into the street and do something we call, “Can You Sell Me A Hot Dog?” Paul?

Paul Shaffer: [ sings game theme song ]
Hey, man, don’t wanna buy a frank!
Don’t wanna buy a weiner!
Don’t wanna buy a brat,
But, hey, Mister,
Can you sell me a hot, hot, hot, hot dog? Yeah!”

[ cut to clip of Letterman on the street by a vendor cart ]

David Letterman: Can you sell me a hot dog? [ vendor hands him a hot dog, Letterman smiles to the camera ]

[ cut back to the studio ]

Paul Shaffer: Hey, Mister,
Can you sell me a hot dog? Yeah!”

David Letterman: Alright, there you go! Now, sorry about that, William, you were setting up a clip.

William Hurt: Yes. Well, this is a scene in the film where I finally accept the angel, and all his power. And I experience a catharsis!

David Letterman: Oh, well, that sounds great, let’s roll a clip. This is from the motion picture, “Michael”.

[ clip shows Paul sitting, Letterman standing with fake wings on his back ]

David Letterman: “Uh.. uh.. you got any gum?” [ Paul shakes head ]

[ cut back to the studio ]

David Letterman: Ha ha haaa!! Looks like a great film! Hey! That’s all the time we have, folks! My apologies to Blues Traveler and Robert Wuhl! Good night, everybody! [ stands up, removes jacket, and exits studio, as William Hurt remains stunned ]

Kevin Spacey’s Monologue

…..Kevin Spacey

Kevin Spacey: Thank you. Thank you. It’s a great opportunity to be here hosting “Saturday Night Live”. I think it’s really a perfect fit for me because when you hear the name Kevin Spacey, you think one word: comedy. And now that I have the laugh market cornered, I thought I’d take a few minutes and show you Kevin Spacey’s sentimental side. This is an old favorite of mine.
[ he picks up microphone, sits on stool, and sings “In the Wee Small Hours of the Morning”, as the following SUPERS roll by: ]

[ SUPER: “We know what you’re thinking.
This is stupid.” ]

[ SUPER: “The only reason we allowed Kevin Spacey to sing this song is because he threatened us.
Seriously.” ]

[ SUPER: “He is a very sick individual with severe emotional problems.
For example, he demanded a seperate dressing room for “The bad Kevin.”
Kevin Spacey also has a history of violent behavior.” ]

[ SUPER: “Dennis Hopper has refused to work with him.” ]

[ SUPER: “During Thursday’s rehearsal, Kevin stuck a gun in Norm MacDonald’s mouth.
Needless to say, Norm didn’t like it.
According to his court-appointed psychiatrist, you “should avoid making any sudden movements around Kevin Spacey.”
Last night a crew member accidentally dropped a cue card.
Kevin responded by shoving Don Pardo down a flight of stairs.
And then he stuck a gun in Norm MacDonald’s mouth.
The next time you see one of his movies, just remember that Kevin Spacey plays psychos…
Because he really is a psycho.” ]

[ song ends ]

Call me crazy, but I like that song. We got a great show tonight. Beck is here, so stick around. We’ll be right back.

Mr. Peepers

Mr. Peepers…..Chris Kattan
Dr. Dowden…..Kevin Spacey
Assistant…..Will Ferrell

(open on lab with SUPER : BORMAN LABORATORIES, E. Brunswick, New Jersey)

Dr. Dowden: Well, almost finished. Hurry up. We’ve got a lot of monkeys to examine. We’re done with him, put him back in the cage.

Assistant: But he hasn’t been fed yet.

Dr. Dowden: I don’t care. You should know that you’re the third assistant I’ve had this month. I fired the other two because they were stupid incompetents. So you will do exactly as I say and only exactly as I say, or you, too, will be fired. (slowly, in a handicapped voice) Do you understand me?

Assistant: Yes, Dr. Dowden

Dr. Dowden: And put Roscoe back in his cage. (Assistant has a tough time closing the cage) Oh, and I see closing cages is beyond your mental capacity, idiot. Get me the monkey in cage number 5.

(Assistant goes to cage number 5 to reveal Mr. Peepers, a man/monkey boy dressed in red overalls, he picks up Mr. Peepers and brings him to the doctor)

Dr. Dowden: All Right, Mr. Peepers. Never seen this one before. (Reading off chart) “Possible missing link. Discovered in the Brazilian Rainforest.” (Peepers hangs upside down while dangling on the assistant) What are you doing?

Assistant: I’m sorry, doctor. What am I supposed to do?

Dr. Dowden: (slowly, mocking him) I don’t know what am I supposed to do. (his voice) Put him on the stool, you idiot! (he places Peepers on the stool, as Peeper’s begins to babble “Bah” over and over) And shut that monkey up!

Assistant: Doctor, I’m not sure what —

Dr. Dowden: Oh, you are just useless. I’ll do it. No Peepers, no! No! No! Give him an apple! (Peepers grabs the apple and starts chewing rapidly and spitting out the pieces. Meanwhile Dr. Dowden begins examining him.) Let’s look at the ears. (check ears) Ears look all right Let’s look at the teeth! Let me look at your teeth! Let me look at your teeth! (checks teeth) God, this Peepers beast reeks. You check his eyes.

Assistant: (goes to check Peeper’s eyes, only to have Peeper’s acting difficult) I – I can’t, he won’t let me.

Dr. Dowden: Oh, you are so useless! I’ll do it! Peepers watch! (He begins snapping his fingers back and forth, testing Peepers’ eye movement) There, that’s how you do it.

Assistant: Doctor, do you think we should —

Dr. Dowden: I’m not paying you to think —

Mr. Peepers: (in the doctor’s face) BAH!

Dr. Dowden: You shut your little monkey mouth! You want a piece of me? Shut up! Shut it! Bah! (they exchange “bah”‘s back and forth as Peepers pushes the doctor) Oh, you little bastard!

(Peepers jumps off the stool and begins to jump off the walls)

Dr. Dowden: Get that monkey, would you?

Assistant: Okay.

(Peepers dances around, the assistant is unable to grab hold of him)

Dr. Dowden: Well, don’t just stand there! Get him!

Assistant: I’m trying!

Dr. Dowden: You are so fired if you don’t get that little critter!

(Peepers runs towards the other way and jumps onto an examining table. After a few seconds of struggle, he latches his mouth onto the assistant)

Dr. Dowden: Oh, my God! Don’t move! (Peepers begins a series of blowing on the assistant’s face, an attack mechanism)

Assistant: What should I do?

Dr. Dowden: Well for starters, shut up. You have violated this monkey’s sense of space. Mr. Peeper’s is now in attack mode. Any sudden movement and he will bite your head off! So, very very slowly — very slowly turn your head away. Turn your head away very slowly. (The assistant begins to turn his head away from an attacking Mr. Peepers) Turn your – easy, easy, very slow — ah, oh oh! (Peepers releases himself off the assistant and begins to jump on the doctor, humping him)

Assistant: Oh, my God! (he rushes for the phone, picks up and yells) Code blue, code blue! Mr. Peepers is humping Dr. Dowden! Send help now! this is horrible!

Dr. Dowden: You get him off of me right now or you are SO fired!

(Peepers continues to hump Dr. Dowden while the assistant continues to get help on the phone. Audience applause we fade out)
