Caloroga Shark Media. Hey, Johnny Mac with a second episode here on Saturday. This episode is about Saturday Night Live’s homecoming concert thing whatever the proper title is. They had such a show on Friday Night that I wanted to tell you about it. Now.
Quick note, there is a naughty word coming up. I try to keep the show clean, but Lady Gaga and Andy Samberg performed a song Andy usually does with Justin Timberlake. That’s a little naughty. There’s no way around it. Gotta let the word go.
So you know, if you’re like super brutish and you got a kid, you know, skip today’s episode. But it’s the one about a box. We’ll get to that. I’m gonna have to dive in and out of the clip to stay out of trouble and keep it in fair use territory and not just Johnny Mack thought this was funny. And here’s five minutes out walks Andy Samberg, Lady Gaga is on the piano and let’s listen.
Tell me something girl. Are you hanging in the crazy world or do you need more? And I got to stop here because it’s bad. Yes, it’s very bad. Yeah, I could, I could tell as soon as I started it was off.
Yeah, maybe we skip it. Yeah, I think we maybe maybe we could do something that’s more in your vocal orange. Yeah, good thought, good thought for sure. But what I mean there is one song, but Justin’s not here to do his parts, all right, So you get the idea there, and they go into the in the Box song and let’s dive back in. You know, such a long time, such a long time, no to lay it on the line.
Well, you know, it’s Christmas and my heart is so open, why open? Gonna give you something, so you know what’s on my mind, what’s on my mind? I give for a special So take off the t take a look inside. It’s my dick in a box a box and man, I’m gonna let this go a little bit here. You would swear that this is a quote unquote real song.
Listen to how talented Gaga is. I’m gonna get you with Donnery. That’s sort of gift on me then anything. Now I’m gonna get you a fancy car. Girl, you gotta annoy.
My shine is off. Now I’m gonna get you a house in the hills, A girl like dude. It’s something rare I wanna get you something from my house, special girl. It’s I mean, this is just fantastic, especially when you consider what the in the box song is just awesome. Then it turned into a medley including a fan fave Lazy Sunday outcomes, Chris Parnell.
We’ll give you sample of that. How you do it? Hello Samburg? What’s cracking? You think you would have?
What? Firks mahunka pain? Some stick it like? Um, let’s got hold of punk roxy? I love the By the way, can we follow up on a Friday’s podcast?
If Andy Samberg is responsible for three of the top ten sketches of the twenty first century, how is he not in the top three all time on SNL Talent? Like my man’s up there. Plus he’s in the Macpack, which is my fantasy group when I become a famous celebrity who I’m gonna roll with and he’s in the Macpack and it’ll be me and him and chick list than the others. His next clip, I hear for you. The Backstreet Boys are doing one of their hits and I’m old, I don’t know main back Street Boys.
Guy. You guys can send me letters like how do you not know what it is? I don’t. I don’t care. They were too young for me.
Main Backstreets boys guy goes out into the crowd and starts singing with Jerry Seinfeld, which you can kind of sort of hear here. Come to tell me why. Host Jimmy Fallon clarified the three hour show would only present musical guests and not handout awards. Jimmy said, apparently there’s been some confusion, and this is just a concert. We’re not giving out any warts nights.
I just want to make sure that everybody knows that. Then the bit, Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson got up and left. John Mulaney spoke of SNL’s music guru, how Winner, and how if how We’re still around. He would have loved a lot acts on the bill, and Malaney said he also would have hated parts of tonight, and I would have loved to talk to him about the parts he hated. Variety recapped Will Ferrell and Anagast are getting out there doing their middle school teacher thing.
Marty Colp and Bobby mohan Culp take on Drake in the dis Wars, Whether they mean to or not, It would have been a mistake to revive too many of SNL’s musically inclined recurring characters, but this special arrived with the right balance. They were really the two we were hoping for, both involving Will Ferrell, the lounge singer style culp duo and the Blue Oyster Cult cowbell arranger. One out of two wasn’t bad. The pair ran through a medley of the Incorporated Bratt Good Luck Babe on Holy Denila Is a River and other recent hits, all getting the Marty and Elaine at the Dresden Room treatment, with the eternal joke being that these happily married really do mean to be hep, but are just never going to think about lyrical appropriateness. Blah blah blah.
Here’s your full set list. Jimmy Fallon Soulman, Miley Cyrus and Brittany Howard Crazy Little Thing called Love Miley on Flowers, Bad Bunny Did to Bill Murray doing his lounge singer thing, or All I Need to Get by Eddie Vedder doing Tom Petty’s The Waiting and Corduroy, Tracy Morgan’s astor Not Jones theme song, B fifty two’s Love Shack Bowen Yang and Sarah Sherman. I think we’re out on that one. Backstreet Boys, I Want it that way with Jerry Seinfeld, Devo, No Not Whip It, Uncontrollable, Urge Gaga, Andy Eddie Vedder, Lonely Island et Ceter did the Medley. Lauren Hill Came Out, did a medley.
Ferrell and Gastira a medley. Jelly Roll did a Johnny Cash medley that I saw get panned on the Internet. Brandy Carlisle the Joke, Mumford and Sons I’ll Wait. Jerry Douglas joined them for the Boxer, Snoop Dogg, Jit and Juice, Snoop Dogg and Jelly Rolls Last Dance with Mary Jane originally Tom Petty Song. Snoop’s got his own take on that arcade fired.
David Byrne, Saint Vincent and the Preservation Hall Jazz Band did Heroes and Wake Up Post MALONEA. Nirvana did Smells Like Tume Spirit Robin and David Byrne did This Must be the Place, Share if I could turn back time, Jack White Rocking in the Free World and Seven Nation Army looking Ahead to Tomorrow Seems Dan Ackroyd and Bill Hayter are not coming. A source close to Dan Ackroyd tells Late Night that Ackroyd quote could not come. Matt Beloney at Puck News says that Bill Hayter was a quote polite decline. Dick Eversall, who was the executive producer during the five years Lauren wasn’t there, will not be at the show, reportedly due to health issues.
Ackroyd posted on social media cracking ahead with pride at having been a co founder of SNL along with everyone we were together within those four years five decades ago. This telecast is as historical as the next moonlanding comedy. Stars of our age, all gathered under the ages of America’s greatest living impresario, My boss, Lauren michaels people, it’s friggin’ holy. So I wonder why Dan isn’t coming. I’m just looking up how old he is now.
He’s only seventy two now, speculating maybe he was older than that and didn’t want people to see old Dan Ackroyd. I don’t know. I worked with him once we were in Chicago and we did a town hall broadcast for serious exam. A town hall would be like you’d get cool celebrities and invite a small hand full of listeners. So we did one with Ackroyd and Jim Belushi celebrating the Blues Brothers.
So that was the only time I work with Acroyd. Totally cool, totally professional. Didn’t catch any attitude from him, So I hope everything is okay with Dan. I’m quite surprised he’s not coming, but I don’t know. The Bill hater thing super weird to me.
No idea a fun story going out. On Thursday evening, New Yorker editor Susan Morrison sent out a mass email invitation to an event for her bio of Lauren Michaels. Apparently she’s not familiar with BCC. The Blind Carbon Copy people started hitting reply all. A lot of people were on this one.
Tina Fey chimed in about two hours into this and said, dear boomers and sent the link to a YouTube video for senior citizens on how to read reply and Ford emails when using a Gmail account. John Hamm then replied, all ah, thanks Tita.
Also thanks Susan, I’ll see you there bump.
Colin Jost joined it at ten or four pm and said, guys, the video Tita sent is malware. Make sure to keep hitting reply all or the virus can infect your computers. Haym again, Oh my goodness, thank you young man. Aaron Sorkin jumped in and said, how did I get involved with this? Hilarious?
All right, that is your bonus comedy news on this Saturday. Earlier today, an hour long episode, Mike Chisholm and I from The Letterman Podcast talked about Dave’s appearance on Fellon we talked about SNL fifty. Tomorrow’s already in the can.
