  • -Happy Thanksgiving. -Happy Thanksgiving.

  • What are you doing for Thanksgiving? Anything cool?

  • -Yeah, super cool stuff.

  • [ Laughter ]

  • -Yeah, man. -Hold on.

  • Listen to this.

  • I'm going to the house where my wife grew up in Boston.

  • [ Howls ]

  • [ Cheers and applause ]

  • [ Imitates air horn blaring ]

  • [ Beatboxing ]

  • Wow, that's fun. -And they're gonna be --

  • Yeah. -The kids must love that.

  • -The kids love it.

  • The kids do. They love going to Boston.

  • -Yeah. -Because there's no basements

  • in California. Houses don't have basements.

  • -That's right.

  • -So a basement is like a magical place...

  • for them. [ Laughter ]

  • -Yeah, a little clubhouse. -They go down there

  • and, you know, have Nerf gun battles.

  • -And then the other big thing we do is we go to Dunkin' Donuts.

  • [ Laughter ]

  • -When you're in Boston?

  • -Their uncle, my brother-in-law...

  • -Yeah. -...my wife's brother --

  • -Yeah.

  • -...takes them to Dunkin' Donuts,

  • and they get to just pick whatever they want.

  • [ Light laughter ]

  • -That's what you do when you go to Boston?

  • -So that's what happens...

  • -Wow. -...when we go to Boston.

  • -[ Howls ] -Yeah!

  • Whoo!

  • -You're hosting "SNL" this weekend.

  • -I know.

  • -I'm so excited. -Thank you.

  • [ Cheers and applause ]

  • -For the fifth time. -Back up.

  • It's always a fun, surreal experience to go back.

  • You've done it. -Yeah.

  • -Right? -Doesn't it smell the same,

  • like, when you -- -The aroma is still rich.

  • -Yeah. -Yeah.

  • -It feels like going back to your high school or something.

  • Either it's the paint on the floor or something --

  • -Yeah, there's something -- -Yeah. But it's good.

  • It's good. And they got a good cast up there.

  • -Great cast. A lot to talk about in the news.

  • -Yeah, that's true. -Uh-huh. Right?

  • -But what do you -- When people talk about your best of "SNL"

  • or things that you've done on the show,

  • I know what everyone brings up to me,

  • which you're involved in.

  • [ Both laugh ]

  • Anyway, let's talk about something else.

  • -Cowbell. Cowbell sketch.

  • -Yes, the cowbell sketch. -Right?

  • -That's what I was gonna say. I was gonna say that.

  • I was gonna talk about the cowbell.

  • -You were a major part of that.

  • -I was a really major part of the cowbell sketch.

  • It was all you. It was all you.

  • This is a picture of -- -And there's Jimmy.

  • -Yeah. -That's me there.

  • -Right. -That's Kattan, Parnell.

  • -Look at that hair.

  • -Horatio Sanz. -And --

  • -That's you, and that is Christopher Walken.

  • -Which is -- It's the strangest thing.

  • [ Laughter ]

  • -And that's Christopher Walken.

  • -That's Christopher Walken across from that.

  • [ Laughter ]

  • -Look at -- That shirt is insane.

  • -You maintain that between dress rehearsal and air

  • that I went and put a tighter shirt on.

  • -I think you did. Didn't you?

  • -I thought it just hiked --

  • I thought I just put a little more mustard into it.

  • And then it hiked up.

  • -Is that right? I thought --

  • -But you thought I put a tighter shirt on, you think?

  • -I thought you did,

  • because this doesn't even feel like a shirt that should --

  • [ Laughter ]

  • It's insane. Everyone else is wearing other shirts.

  • I think I would have --

  • But you were coming up a little bit in dress.

  • -Yeah. -But that was high up.

  • -Yeah.

  • -And that was -- That was low down.

  • -But you might be right. Maybe I --

  • -I mean, you barely had a shirt on.

  • -Maybe I switched it to a tighter shirt.

  • -'Cause I remember it was so loud on air because --

  • -Oh, with -- Yeah.

  • I banged it much louder than the dress.

  • -No, but I mean the audience response.

  • Oh, the response. Yeah.

  • -Yeah, but, I mean, like, the sketch was on

  • at the end of the show, I believe,

  • which is where usually the weirder sketches are.

  • -Yeah, yeah. -And it was working so well

  • that the floor started shaking.

  • -Oh, I don't remember that.

  • -Yeah. Yeah.

  • -I was just in a haze. -You were in a --

  • Dude, you were in a comedy haze.

  • -I was staring you down.

  • But you --

  • 'Cause you were laughing. But I was laughing, too,

  • but the beard was just protecting --

  • You couldn't see it. You couldn't see it.

  • -'Cause, dude, I -- -Wait, put the picture back up.

  • Look. See, the beard is hiding --

  • See, I'm smiling. I'm smiling right there.

  • -I mean, that was -- That started it for me.

  • That was my whole thing -- -But here's the crazy thing.

  • So, I go to see Christopher Walken years later...

  • -Yeah. -...in a play.

  • I say hello to him backstage.

  • And he's like, "You know,

  • you've ruined my life."

  • [ Laughter ]

  • What?

  • "People during the curtain call bring cowbells and ring them.

  • [ Laughter ]

  • The other day, I went for an Italian food lunch.

  • And the waiter asked if I wanted more cowbell

  • with my pasta Bolognese."

  • [ Laughter ]

  • And I think he was really mad at me.

  • -No way.

  • -He had a little smile, but --

  • -Well, because he had such a great career.

  • But, you know -- -He is a great actor.

  • -From "The Deer Hunter"... -Yeah.

  • -...to "Pulp Fiction"... -"Pulp Fiction." He's amazing.

  • -...to "More Cowbell." That's all he gets.

  • -That's all he gets now?

  • So it made a lot of people happy, but...

  • -Christopher -- ...ruined one person's life.

  • -Ruined one person. But what are you going to do?

  • -That's good odds. -Right?

  • -That's decent odds. You know what I'm saying?

-Happy Thanksgiving.
