[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ] >>> THANK YOU!
THANK YOU VERY, VERY MUCH. I AM SO HONORED TO BE HERE
HOSTING "SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE." SOMEWHERE MY 13-YEAR-OLD SELF IS
FAINTED IN TA REALLY, REALLY NEEDY MELODRAMATIC WAY.
NOW THE PAST 12 MONTHS HAS CHANGED MY LIFE IN SO MANY WAYS.
BOTH GOOD, AND NOT SO GOOD. SOME GOOD --
PEOPLE FINALLY STARTED WATCHING OUR SHOW,
"SCHITT'S CREEK." [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
AND WE WERE FORTUNATE ENOUGH TO WIN NINE IMS THIS YEAR.
UNBELIEVABLE. BEYOND A DREAM COME TRUE.
THE NOT SO GOOD, THOSE EMMYS WERE LITERALLY THROWN AT US BY A
STRANGER IN A HAZMAT SUIT. [ LAUGHTER ]
THE GOOD, I HAVE BEEN GETTING STOPPED ON THE STREET BY
DIFFERENT KINDS OF PEOPLE. WHICH IS NEW, AND FUN AND DIFFERENT.
THE NOT SO GOOD, THOSE PEOPLE ARE MAINLY SCREAMING "EWW" AT
ME, WHICH IS WHY I WROTE A LINE I WROTE FOR THE
SHOW THAT WILL NOW HAUNT ME FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE.
BUT FOR ALL THE GOOD AND THE NOT SO GOOD, I HAVE SOMEHOW FOUND
MYSELF HERE ON THIS ICONIC STAGE STANDING IN FRONT OF ALL OF YOU.
AND TRUST ME WHEN I SAY THIS. IT HAS ONLY BEEN GOOD HERE AT
"SNL." [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
IT'S AS IF NOTHING HAS CHANGED. EVERYONE STILL HAS THAT FUNNY,
CHARMING SPARKLE IN THEIR EYE. THEY'RE JUST A LITTLE BIT SAFER.
IN FACT, I THOUGHT, WHY NOT TAKE A TOUR OF BACKSTAGE DURING THE
PANDEMIC JUST TO SHOW YOU HOW MUCH FUN WE'VE BEEN HAVING.
SO -- WALK WITH ME, IF YOU WILL. WE ARE NOW HERE IN THE AUDIENCE
HI. WHAT'S YOUR NAME?
I'M SORRY? 6 FEET, PLEASE.
>> YEP. THIS IS SIX FEET AND YOU WERE
MUCH CLOSER. >> GOT IT.
>> OKAY. >> MY MISTAKE.
>> YEAH, JUST THINK WHEN YOU WANT TO GET CLOSE AND YOU WANT
TO GET CHUMMY, YOU PUT A NOODLE IN YOUR TUMMY.
>> GOT IT. THANK YOU EVERYONE.
THIS IS ONE OF OUR SAFETY OFFICERS DOREEN
KEEPING US SAFE. DOINGAL MAGIC.
>> JUST DOING MY JOB. >> I'M NEW HERE.
UM, SO, MOVING RIGHT ALONG. YOU GOT TO BE SAFE TO BE HEALTHY
OVER HERE. OVER HERE, THE FAMOUS STUDIO
DOORS. >> NOPE!
NO POINTING. THAT'S HOW WE SPREAD DROPLETS.
>> DROPLETS ARE SPREAD BY POINTING?
>> YES. THAT IS RIGHT.
>> I'M ALMOST CERTAIN THAT'S NOT TRUE.
OKAY. SORRY, DOREEN.
WE'RE GOING TO MOVE ON. MOVING THROUGH THE DOORS, NOT
TOUCHING, OF COURSE, BECAUSE, YOU KNOW --
WOW. OKAY.
THAT WAS COLD. I THINK SOME OF THAT IS AN
ANTI-VIRAL MIST. YOU CAN REALLY --
TASTE THE BLEACH. OVER HERE THE FAMOUS NBC PAGE
DESK. HI, PAGES.
>> [ LAUGHTER ]. THAT TICKLES!
>> I GUESS A CAST DECONTAMINATION STATION.
THINGS CAN CHANGE HERE ON A DIME.
OKAY, MOVING RIGHT ALONG. HERE ARE SOME OF THE PORTRAITS
OF OLD HOSTS. I THINK I KNOW THIS LADY.
>> SIR! YOU'RE POINTIN'.
>> PLEASE, DON'T DO THAT AGAIN. >> I'M GOING TO KEEP DOING IT.
>> OH, AND RIGHT DOWN HERE ARE THE HOST DRESSING ROOMS.
THAT ONE IS PHOEBE BRIDGERS, EVERYBODY.
ALTHOUGH, THAT LOOKS DANGEROUS. I HOPE EVERYTHING IS OKAY IN
THERE. PHOEBE, BREAK A LEG!
SHE CAN'T HEAR ME. LET'S SEE WHAT'S DOWN THIS WAY?
MAYBE WE'LL RUN INTO CAST MEMBER.
OH MY GOD, KENAN. HI.
>> HEY, WHO'S THAT? I'M SORRY, I CAN'T SEE.

>> OH, MY GOODNESS. THANK YOU SO MUCH, MAN.

I MEAN, HONESTLY, JUST TO GET TO WALK THESE HALLS IS SUCH A
THRILL -- OH, WAIT. DAD?

>> WELL, LOOK AT YOU! I FLEW IN.
I FLEW IN TO WISH YOU LUCK TONIGHT, BUT BECAUSE I TRAVELED
I'M NOW IN THIS TIGHT ISOLATION BOX.
