-This is really interesting.
A few weeks back, 13 mysterious mummies
were discovered in an Egyptian well.
And when our producer Mike Shoemaker,
who also worked at "SNL" forever,
saw that news story on Twitter, he posted it, adding...
And then our head writer, Alex Baze,
who was also head writer
for "Weekend Update" when I was there
and therefore immediately understood the kind of thing
Andy Samberg might say as a recently disturbed mummy,
responded to that tweet with...
The whole thing made me long for the time when that could've happened.
But then I realized, I have a show.
I could text Samberg.
We're not talking about the debate until tomorrow night.
So joining us now from Egypt,
please welcome a recently disturbed mummy.
-Oh, hey, Seth.
Seth? Seth? Is that Egyptian?
-It's not that far off.
Hey, thanks so much for being here.
-Oh, yeah, it's really great to be here, Seth.
-Are you okay?
You seem like you might be in a really bad mood.
-Oh, oh, do I?
Sorry, but, you know, I just got woken up
after 2,500 years of full-on snoozing.
I mean, I was in deep REM.
[ Sniffing ] Oh. Oh, is that me?
Oh, right, the hummus.
Hey, word of warning, don't chow down a bunch of garlicky foods
before they wrap your mouth closed for hundreds of years.
-Yeah, speaking of that,
you seem pretty lightly wrapped for a mummy.
-Yeah, you know, I'd usually have more,
but got to conserve the TP 'cause of the 'demic.
Gonna re-roll it when we're done with this.
-So, what was it like to be woken up after 2,500 years?
-Okay, so, like [Sniffs] you know that thing
where you fall asleep on the couch in the afternoon
and then you wake up and it's dark out
and you're like, "Ah! What the hell? What day is it?"
-Yeah, sure.
-Okay, so it's kind of like that but with an archeologist
shining a flashlight in your face and screaming.
You can't hit snooze on that, Seth.
-Yeah, it does sound rough.
Now, look, I don't know a lot about ancient Egypt,
but I do remember reading that sometimes pharaohs
or other people of means
would have the servants buried with them when they died.
So I guess my question is, were you a pharaoh or a servant?
-Okay, well, do you remember reading about pharaohs
who cleaned up their own camel [bleep]
'Cause that was def my job.
-Okay, so it sounds like you were a servant.
-Yeah, you think?
And it was literally my first day on the job, Seth.
It was like, "Here's the break room.
Here's your uniform.
Oh, hey, bad news. The boss man just died.
So now we're gonna pull your brain out through your nose
and put you in a box."
And I'm like, "Do I at least have time to brush my teeth?
'Cause I just mowed down a fat tub of hummus
and my mouth smells like a butt."
But they're like, "Nope, we got to do this now."
-Well, I'm sorry.
It sounds like you got a really raw deal.
-Well, it's not so bad.
You know, at least I was buried in a pyramid.
A guy could do worse.
-Oh.
-Oh? Oh, what?
-It's just the mummies weren't found in a pyramid.
They were found in a well.
-Well.
-Yeah, a well.
-No, no, I heard you. You didn't let me finish.
-Oh, oh, go ahead.
-Well, that [bleep] sucks.
-Gotcha. Yeah, gotcha.
-Yeah, well, now I'm really ticked off,
and you left me no choice
but to rain down a mummy's curse upon this land.
Frog!
-Sorry, frog? Singular?
-Yeah, it's kind of a dinky plague, you know, just one frog.
Got to conserve 'cause of the 'demic.
-So what's next for you?
-You know, just doing a bunch of interviews.
You know, I got Larry King in an hour.
That'll be fun, 'cause we used to play squash together.
Hey, people still make jokes
about how Larry King's old, right, Seth?
-Yeah, every now and then.
Yeah, I see that.
So even the mummies think that.
-That's cool.
-Hey, any final thoughts before you go?
-I have to go?
Aw, man.
I thought I was gonna stick around,
check out Phoebe Bridgers.
-You're welcome to watch on the feed.
-Like, she wears a skeleton outfit,
and that reminds me of a mummy.
We're, like, kind of simpatico.
I thought maybe I could play tambourine or some [bleep]
Look, my last thoughts, since you asked, are only this.
And feel free to add dramatic music under this later.
The history exists to remind us
that our actions have consequences, Seth.
You know, if the discovery of my body buried 2,500 years ago
can have one positive effect,
let it be to remind everyone alive today
that there will be those 2,500 years in the future
who will live on the earth you leave.
[ Thud ] Oh.
-What was that?
-My doink fell off!
-[ Laughing ]
Andy.
Oh, wait. It's Andy.
Andy Samberg, everyone.
Oh, I didn't realize.
-What?
-I only recognize you from this part of your head,
the circle around it.
-So what you're saying is, this is the best character ever,
and now you're gonna have a bobblehead of this on your desk
instead of that [bleep] Stefon one.
-[ Laughs ]
We'll be right back with Sarah Silverman.
