Funky Kong… Kenan Thompson.
[Starts with Colin Jost in his set]
Colin Jost: The new Mario Brothers movie is a huge hit and many fans were hoping for an appearance from one of the coolest characters in the Mario universe, Funky Kong. So here to talk about it is Funky Kong.

[cheers and applause]
Funky Kong: What’s up, Colin? What’s up, ladies? Yeah. Which one of y’all going home with Funky Kong?
Colin Jost: Okay, alright. How are you doing, Funky Kong?
Funky Kong: Man, I’ve been better. I thought I was gonna be out nobody’s moving they just made $500 million. 600. But this is how much you get to see of me.
Colin Jost: Wow, so you’re just in the background? What happened?
Funky Kong: Man, they cut me out. I guess Funky Kong is too real for them. They don’t want to hear what I got to say. And they sure as hell don’t want to watch me work. Bring it back.

Colin Jost: Wow, I really am so sorry that you got cut.
Funky Kong: Funky don’t want to be what they want, Colin. Funky don’t throw no barrels. Funky Kong spends his day cruising in my car, dropping off packages of the sticky icky. And I spend my nights with a glass of banana rum and a bed full of toads.
Colin Jost: And now, are toads male or female?
Funky Kong: Funky don’t know, Funky don’t ask.
Colin Jost: It’s really is a shame that you’re not in the movie because your cousin Donkey Kong is a major character.
Funky Kong: Oh yeah, man. Donkey Kong is all up in it. But they ain’t even us Monkey Kong.
Colin Jost: Who’s Monkey Kong?
Funky Kong: He’s a donkey. Man, those Japanese people sure are interesting. Oh man, you know they kicked me off the set?
Colin Jost: What? Why?
Funky Kong: Because I was in my trailer drumming on booty cheeks like Bongo was in the minigame. I was in there like, booty cheeks, titty meat, booty cheeks, titty meat.
Colin Jost: Great. It’s really great. So you were originally in the movie?
Funky Kong: Absolutely. Man. I had a few choice scenes. I was incredible. I even have the whole script right here. Here. Come on. Read this here with me, Colin. I’ll show you what I’m talking about. You’ll be Mario and Luigi. I’m gonna be myself. Paste well.
Colin Jost: Sure. Great. All right, Luigi: We got to get to the castle, but the fastest way is Rainbow Road. Mario: Rainbow Road? We’ll fall off.
Funky Kong: Man, ain’t no bitches in here.
Colin Jost: I can’t believe that’s the original line.
Funky Kong: I told you man. I was dope. Go to page 36, man. The scene with me and Peach.
Colin Jost: Okay, yeah, you and Peach. Princess Peach: Funky Kong, they are holding our friends prisoner in Warrior stadium. Can you help?
Funky Kong: Girl, why don’t you open up that peach and let me see what’s inside?
Colin Jost: Honestly, I can see why they cut you out.
Funky Kong: Come on, Colin. People would have eaten that up, man. You ever had monkey meat?
Colin Jost: Monkey meat? No.
Funky Kong: That’s not what your mamma said last night. Bring it back.
