[ Heart beating ]
-Cut! Everyone, just take five.
-I'm sorry about that last take. -What the [bleep] is going on?
-I'm just a little out of it. -Are you on drugs?
Don't [bleep] lie to me.
This has been going on for a while now.
This has got to stop.
I don't know who you're hanging out with,
but on my set, nobody does drugs, all right?
That includes my actors.
Come back in a half-hour ready to work.
Just -- You're 18 now, man.
Don't [bleep] it up.
-Welcome back to "Late Night." We're here with Chris Kattan.
That was a clip from "Famous." Tell us a bit about it.
-It's a -- Well, it's a really good movie,
and, you know, I'm happy to be in it,
and I chose to be in it, not just because I got to do drama,
which I like doing, but Michael Leoni,
who's the director, had a great vision.
It was based on a play that he directed,
and this play --
Well, the movie has the same actors in the play.
So, when I got on board, his vision was so strong
and powerful that I was like, "Oh, my God.
I love being part of this," you know?
And I took a chance, and I'm really happy I was in it.
-It's great to see you doing drama.
It's also very exciting that you're doing sketch again.
You have a YouTube sketch show
where you're doing a new sketch every week.
-Yes. It's called "Hey, Kattan."
-How did you come up with the name "Hey, Kattan"?
-Whoo! -Thank you.
-So, somebody on the street said, "Hey, Kattan!"
[ Laughter ]
Well, most people acknowledge me by saying, "Hey, Kattan."
They don't go, "Hey, Chris," or, "Hey, Chris Kattan."
-You've always been a Kattan. -Or, "Hey, Chris Kattan.
I heard that Seth Meyers and his wife
met at your wedding, period." [ Laughter ]
-Period, end of story. -End of story.
But, no, yeah. So, it's a great opportunity
for me to write, you know?
And I get to direct these shorts.
-Do impressions again? -Do impressions.
My classic Harrison Ford. -Harrison Ford.
-Who could forget my Harrison Ford?
-Not a lot of people can do a good Harrison Ford.
-No. [ Laughs ]
Here's my -- Oh, I actually met him.
Well, a few times. The first time I met him,
I was so excited to meet him that I was like, "Oh, my God!
You're Harrison Ford! I'm so excited!
I feel like Short Round!" [ Laughter ]
That's what I said. -Yeah, yeah, yeah.
-'Cause I was that excited. -Sure, sure.
-Can we say short round? -Yeah, yeah, yeah.
-And he said... [ Laughter ]
I'll hold on that laugh 'cause you chose to laugh at that.
So, but he -- I said, "I'm so excited.
I feel like Short Round." He went, "Settle."
[ Laughter ]
And then, I saw him again at a dentist office,
and I said, "Hey, Harrison Ford --"
I don't know why I'm screaming, but I did scream at the time.
That's how I get excited. -Yeah.
"Hey, Harrison Ford! It's me!
Remember me, Chris Kattan?" He went, "Settle," again.
[ Laughter ]
So every time I see him, he goes, "Settle."
-Yeah. -The third time,
he said, "Settle." -Well, I mean, the third time,
you're lucky he didn't call the cops.
-Yeah, that's right! -Yeah.
-"Settle." [ Laughter ]
That would've been -- yeah. But I hear you do an impre--
We did -- Oh, this is another thing
you can take account that I helped you with, maybe.
I don't know. -Yeah.
-But was on "SNL," you did a Hugh Grant impression.
-In one of my first "SNLs," you put me in a Mango
with Gwyneth Paltrow, and there I am
doing Hugh Grant right there. -There you go.
-So, I don't know if you know, but, like, on "SNL,"
When you first get on the show, you're like, "Oh, I'd like
to get in the --" You know, get some air time,
as they say, or whatever. And you're obviously talented,
and you did an amazing -- -Kind of threw that off...
-Yeah, exactly, I said, "Oh, my God!
What an amazing Hugh Grant impression!"
And so there you are doing Hugh Grant.
And you went... [ Gibberish ]
-Yeah, yeah. That was basically it.
That's all I had. -Yeah.
-That and I, like, looked like him.
-Well, it's better than my, "Settle."
-No, the "settle's" good. -Oh, it is good?
-Yeah, yeah, yeah. But I started going to
impression camp, and I'm very good at impressions now.
-Impression camp? -Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I went to a camp. I went to an intensive camp.
-For impressions. -For impressions, yeah.
-I don't know if I like that. -Oh, no.
You don't like it when you're there.
It's very intense. -You walk in,
and everybody's doing different impressions?
-Yeah! -"Hey, oh..."
I don't want to name out what you just did,
but I'm a little confused it's a camp.
-Yeah, but I went, and it went great.
And I never -- You always had a great Pacino,
and now I have a passable Al Pacino.
-Oh. Can I see -- Well, my Pacino --
-You do yours first.
[ Laughter ]
-Is this how you are at camp? -Well, no.
At the end -- -"You do yours first."
[ Laughter ] So aggressive.
So, I was like -- I still want to go to that camp.
-Yeah, you could be a counselor. -Why?
I already went from being a guy who does impressions
to a counselor? That's so nice.
-Yeah. -Thank you.
Like, I graduated already. -Well, but you could lose it
on this Pacino. -Okay. Well, hold on.
So, my Pacino is basically the blind Pacino.
You know, from "Scent of a Woman."
There's different stages of Pacinos.
There's the "Godfather," like, "I know!"
That one from "The Godfather." But then there's the "Hoo ha!"
That one. That's the one I did.
So everyone loves that one. But there's a new Pacino --
-Well, my Pacino started because he was at some award.
And maybe -- I don't know which award show it was.
He was in a Zoom room. -Oh.
-And so we took great joy in thinking about Al Pacino going
like, "Al Pacino in the Zoom room!"
[ Laughter ]
"Look at me." -That's what he did?
"Look at me." -"I'm in a Zoom room."
-"I'm in a Zumba room." -"I don't know what this is."
[ Laughter ]
They said, "Meet me in the Zoom room."
You'd get cancelled. You can't do that impression.
-You can't do it anymore? -Yeah, you can't do Pacino.
But he does a -- [ Laughs ]
I know he's got "House of Gucci" movie coming out.
So, he's Italian, he's like, "I am -- you la puciata feta!"
-Oh, is that -- -"La ta tuci, la pucci!"
-Have you seen "House of Gucci"? -No, I have not.
-Oh, wow. So, you're so confident
in your Al Pacino impression... [ Laughter ]
-I went to the West Coast Camp of Impressions.
-Oh, you did? And they said,
"'House of Gucci,' just take your Pacino,
put a little Italian in it, do it again."
Now that I know what I'm listening for,
do an Al Pacino in the "House of Gucci"
that you haven't seen yet.
-"Oh! Uh, what-a everybody's wearing a-here?"
[ Laughter ]
-It's very good. -Thank you.
-You guys, that's Chris Kattan. "Famous" is in theaters
and available on demand December 10th.
