10j: Jeff Bridges / Eminem & Lil Wayne
Jeff Bridges’ Monologue
…..Jeff Bridges
Cookie Monster…..David Rudman
Announcer: Ladies and gentlemen — Jeff Bridges!
Jeff Bridges: It’s great to be here! You know, the last time I hosted this show was in 1983. Can you believe that? I guess I did a pretty good job, considering how fast they had me back!
Mostly I’ve been making movies for the last 27 years. And I’ve been bless to play a lot of amazing roles in some great films. But, of all those roles, the one I get recognized for the most is “The Dude”. But I got to say, it’s king of a bummer man ’cause, you know, that not me, right? Because “The Dude”, he’s a character, right? And I’m… I’m Jeff Bridges. A real person! Yeah? For instance, “The Dude”, he has uh… he has trouble expressing himself, right? And I … I don’t!
So yeah! I’m back, I’m excited, and I’m even more excited that it’s Christmas, and Christmas, it’s about giving, it’s about friends, right? And I’ve got a really dear friend who always wanted to be on this show, and I thought it would be really nice if we made his Christmas wish come true. Some come on out buddy. Come on out.
(Cookie monster appears next to Jeff)
Cookie Monster: Dum-dee-dum-dee-dum! Hey! Hi!
Jeff Bridges: It’s the cookie monster!
Cookie Monster: Hey, What’s up, “The Dude”!
Jeff Bridges: Come on! I’m not “The Dude”!
Cookie Monster: Me joking! Me joking!
Jeff Bridges: Nah, he’s always bustin’ my chops. Hey, Cookie! You want to do a tune?
Cookie Monster: Oh, me would love that!

Jeff Bridges: (he presents one half of a chocolate chip cookie taken out of his back pocket, Cookie monster gasps as he sees it) What do you think huh? Not only half, but a whole cookie!
