LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, BENEDICT CUMBERBATCH.
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ] >> THANK YOU.
THANK YOU. THANK YOU.
THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH. IT IS SO GREAT TO BE HERE
HOSTING "SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE" ON THE LAST WEEK OF AMERICA AS WE
KNOW IT. I KNOW THE POLITICAL SITUATION
IS REALLY TENSE IN AMERICA RIGHT NOW.
SO I TELL YOU WHAT WE BRITS DO WHEN THE GOING GETS TOUGH AND IT
FEELS LIKE THE WORLD IS CRASHING DOWN AROUND YOU -- WE DRINK.
WE DRINK SO MUCH. BUT ON A BRIGHTER NOTE, THIS
WEEKEND IS THE OPENING OF MY MOVIE "DOCTOR STRANGE."
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ] THANK YOU.
YOU KNOW, IT'S ESPECIALLY EXCITING BECAUSE I GET TO PLAY
THE LEAD IN A MAJOR HOLLYWOOD FILM.
NOW MORE PEOPLE MAYBE KNOW MY NAME BUT THEY DON'T REALLY KNOW
ME. SO I THOUGHT I WOULD TELL THIS
AMERICAN PAST TIME. I BELIEVE IT'S CALLED BRAGGING.
AM I SAYING THAT RIGHT? BRAG?
SO INDULGE ME FOR A MOMENT AND ALLOW ME TO INTRODUCE MYSELF.
