>> THANK YOU. WELL!
THANK YOU. THANK YOU.
THANK YOU. WOW, IT IS GREAT TO BE BACK
HERE, FINALLY HOSTING "SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE" FOR CHRISTMAS, HUH?
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ] WITH THE LAST EPISODE OF 2019,
IF YOU'RE BLACK, IT IS THE FIRST EPISODE SINCE I LEFT BACK
IN 1984. [ LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE ]
IT HAS BEEN A REALLY LONG TIME. HERE'S ACTUALLY A PICTURE OF ME
BACK WHEN I STARTED ON THIS SHOW.
[ LAUGHTER ] [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
WOW, I LOOK AT LEAST FIVE YEARS YOUNGER THERE.
[ LAUGHTER ] YOU KNOW WHAT THEY SAY, MONEY
DON'T CRACK. [ LAUGHTER ]
BUT SO MUCH HAS CHANGED SINCE THEN.
I JUST HAD A NEW BABY INCIDENTALLY ABOUT A YEAR AGO.
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ] I ACTUALLY HAVE 10 KIDS NOW.
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ] THANK YOU.
11 IF YOU COUNT KEVIN HART. [ LAUGHTER ]
I'M TEASING. I LOVE KEVIN HART SO MUCH.
BUT MY KIDS ARE MY WHOLE LIFE NOW.
AND IF YOU WOULD HAVE TOLD ME 30 YEARS AGO THAT I WOULD BE
THIS BORING STAY AT HOME, YOU KNOW, FATHER OF 10 HOUSE DAD,
AND BILL COSBY WOULD BE IN PRISON, I WOULD HAVE TOOK THAT
BET. [ LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE ]
"WHO IS AMERICA'S DAD NOW?" [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
I ALSO HAVE A MOVIE ON NETFLIX CALLED "DOLOMITE IS MY NAME."
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ] AND WE JUST FINISHED A SEQUEL TO
"COMING TO AMERICA" AS WELL. [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
AND IF YOU'RE WONDERING WHY I'M WORKING SO MUCH, IT'S
BECAUSE 10 KIDS ARE VERY EXPENSIVE.
[ LAUGHTER ] >> YO!
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ] >> OH, TRACY MORGAN!
TRACY MORGAN. TRACY MORGAN, LADIES AND
GENTLEMEN. [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
>> WELCOME HOME. >> WHAT UP?
>> YOU KNEW I WASN'T GONNA MISS THIS SHOW FOR ALL THE TEA IN
ARIZONA. [ LIGHT LAUGHTER ]
>> YEAH, MAN. >> DID YOU GET THE SKETCH I
WROTE FOR YOU? >> OH, YEAH.
THE JIMMY WALKER STORY. IT'S CALLED DYNAMITE IS MY NAME.
>> DY-NO-MITE. MY NAME.
>> YEAH. I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S GONNA
WORK. [ LIGHT LAUGHTER ]
>> WELL, WHATEVER YOU NEED, I GOT YOUR BACK.
IF IT WASN'T FOR YOU, I WOULDN'T BE HERE.
LIKE, LITERALLY. I WAS CONCEIVED ON THE
"DELIRIOUS" TOUR BUS. [ LAUGHTER ]
>> I DON'T KNOW IF THAT MATH WORKS OUT.
>> HEY, MAN. HOW'S IT GOING?
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ] >> LADIES AND GENTLEMEN,
CHRIS ROCK IS HERE AS WELL. CHRIS ROCK, LADIES AND
GENTLEMEN. [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
CHRIS ROCK, WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?
>> WELL, YOU KNOW, I WOULD NOT MISS THIS SHOW FOR THE WORLD.
I MENA, MY KIDS LOVE LIZZO. >> HEY!
[ LAUGHTER ] >> MY KIDS LOVE LIZZO, TOO.
>> JUST PLAYING, MAN. YOU GET -- YOU GET MY SKETCH?
>> WHAT WAS IT THAT "LAW AND ORDER" UTI SKETCH?
>> YEAH, YEAH. [ LAUGHTER ]
AND INSTEAD OF ICE T, IT'S CRANBERRY JUICE.
[ LAUGHTER ] THAT SOUNDS KIND OF NASTY FOR A
CHRISTMAS SHOW. [ LIGHT LAUGHTER ]
>> HEY, HEY. [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
>> DAVE CHAPPELLE -- DAVE CHAPPELLE'S IN HERE, TOO.
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ] WHAT A MOMENT.
WHAT A MOMENT WE'RE HAVING. >> DID YOU GET MY SKETCH?
>> DID I GET YOUR SKETCH? [ LAUGHTER ]
>> YEAH. IT'S THE ONE WHERE T.I. HAS THE
DRIVE THRU GYNECOLOGY OFFICE. [ LAUGHTER ]
>> I DON'T GET IT. >> IT'S FUNNY.
HE SAYS STUFF LIKE, "I WILL CHECK YOUR HAMMOND
EXPEDITIOUSLY." [ LAUGHTER ]
YOU KNOW, I FOLLOWED YOUR BLUE PRINT FOR MY CAREER.
>> DID YOU? >> YEAH, YEAH.
I BECAME THE BIGGEST STAR I COULD ON TELEVISION.
AND THEN I QUIT. [ LAUGHTER ]
>> OH, ALL RIGHT. [ LAUGHTER ]
>> HEY, I DID NOT KNOW YOU COULD SMOKE ON STAGE.
>> YOU CAN'T. [ LAUGHTER ]
>> OH! SEE THIS IS WHY I CAME BACK TO
"SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE," FOR MOMENTS LIKE THIS.
[ LAUGHTER ] WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME WE WAS
ALL TOGETHER LIKE THIS? >> LAST THURSDAY AT SINBAD'S
HOUSE. [ LAUGHTER ]
>> RIGHT, MAN. OH, YOU'RE LOOKING AT HALF OF
NETFLIX'S BUDGET. [ LAUGHTER ]
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ] >> THANKS, NETFLIX.
>> NOT ME, NOT ME. I MADE ALL MY MONEY ON THE ROAD.
[ LAUGHTER ] >> YOU MEAN FROM TOURING, RIGHT?
>> NO, I GOT HIT BY A TRUCK. [ LAUGHTER ]
>> OKAY. WELL, I'M GLAD YOU'RE ALL HERE
TO SUPPORT ME. AND I APPRECIATE IT.
>> THAT'S THE LEAST WE CAN DO, MAN.
>> THAT'S RIGHT. I REMEMBER WHEN I GOT HIRED,
LORNE TOLD ME, "YOU'RE GONNA BE THE NEXT EDDIE MURPHY."
AND THEN A YEAR LATER, HE SAID, "NO, YOU'RE NOT."
[ LAUGHTER ] >> YOU SAID IT, CHRIS ROCK.
AND JUST TO PIGGY BACK -- >> NO, WE'RE GOOD ON THAT.
[ LAUGHTER ] [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
>> SORRY ABOUT THAT, FELLAS. PLEASE CONTINUE.
[ LIGHT LAUGHTER ] >> WHO THE HELL WAS THAT?
>> JOE PISCOPO. [ LAUGHTER ]
>> HEY, WE'VE GOT A GREAT SHOW FOR YOU TONIGHT.
LIZZO IS HERE. I'M BACK.
DON'T TURN THE CHANNEL. WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK.
