Gerund

We have a let's Go, Rangers sign that lights up, right?

Your nickname, the Great One, I mean, that's gotta be a difficult nickname to have.

But everybody just, you know, will that be ranch dressing or salad?

Obviously, like anyone else, my nickname is, same as anyone else's would be with their name, Gretz or Wayne or anything like that.

But I got a little nervous when my kids asked me about it one time.

How did I get my nickname, and why do they call me that?

Well, also, most of us have, you know, when we have a nickname, it's derogatory.

Well, I've had a few bad games in my career.

I've been called a lot worse than the Great One, so.

Well, you know, I don't know if you remember.

This is exciting, probably, for you to be working with me again.

I was a seminal part of your early performing career.

You did Saturday Night Live, I think, in 1989.

Let's show the clip and you'll see I'm in there.

Let's roll this, please, Liz, and sit down, everybody.

I gotta tell you, I'll never forget, during that sketch, you winked at me and whispered, live on air.

Someday you'll have a talk show and I'll come on it.

I. I didn't realize that, but I gotta tell you, I didn't.

It was one of the greatest shows of my life, being on Saturday Night Live, and

Originally, when Lorne Michaels asked me to do the show, he said, wayne, we host the show.

I'm in this airplane reading the paper, and it says, wayne Gretzky to host Saturday Night Live.

That's how they book most of the people on that show, only because of fear.

And my wife had said to me one day, you look back and think it was the greatest thing you ever did.

And of course, as you know, all the guys in the show and Mike Myers and everyone, it was a lot of fun.

I was looking through all your list of accomplishments, the different championships you've won, all the different trophies, and

The one that intrigued me the most is you have won five Lady Bing trophies.

And the Lady Bing trophy is for gentlemanly player, gentlemanly behavior on the ice.

Is that an award that people want to win?

But is that an award, though, that there are some people that would, you know, some guys in the ice that.

Who think that, no, the game should be about putting a stick in someone's face.

And they would say, I don't want the Lady Bing trophy.

I want most jaws knocked loose from skull.

I don't know if anybody would go that far.

But there's guys that don't want to win that award.

There's guys that play hard and tough and physical that probably would never get their name on the award and probably never want it on the award.
