LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, DONALD GLOVER!
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ] >> THANK YOU.
THANK YOU. THANK YOU.
THANK YOU SO MUCH. THANK YOU.
I'M REALLY EXCITED TO BE HOSTING "SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE" AND THE
ANSWER TO THE QUESTION EVERYONE'S ASKING IS, YES, I AM
DANNY DPLOEFR'S FATHER. >>> I USED TO LIVE IN NEW YORK
AND IT'S SO GREAT TO BE BACK HERE, ESPECIALLY NOW THAT I'M
RICH. REALLY, I WAS POOR HERE AND IT'S
REALLY GREAT WHEN YOU'RE RICH. BUT IT TRULY IS A HONOR TO BE
HOSTING "SNL," INSTEAD OF JUST AUDITIONING FOR IT, WHICH I DID,
TWICE. THAT'S NOT A JOKE.
I'M JUST STILL PISSED. BUT IT ALL KIND OF WORKED OUT
FOR ME. I WAS ON A SHOW CALLED
"COMMUNITY" AND A PLAY LANDO CALRISSIAN IN THE NEW "STAR
WARS" MOVIE "SOLO." AND IF YOU'RE BLACK, I MADE
ATLANTA AND RED BONE. [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
A LOT OF BLACK PEOPLE IN HERE. I'M AN ACTOR, A WRITER, AND A
SINGER. SOME PEOPLE HAVE DESCRIBED ME AS
A TRIPLE THREAT. BUT I KIND OF LIKE TO CALL
MYSELF JUST A THREAT. NOT TO BRING UP MY AUDITION
AGAIN, BECAUSE I'M NOT HUNG UP ON IT.
I STILL DON'T KNOW WHY I DIDN'T GET THE JOB.
I'M GOOD AT A LOT OF THINGS, LIKE MUSIC.
CAN I GET A 180 TEMPO, SOMETHING JAZZY IN THE KEY OF "D."
HIT IT! THERE WE GO.
THAT FEELS GOOD. LET'S TAKE A WALK, SHALL WE?
♪ I REALLY CAN DO ANYTHING ♪ HEY, WHAT'S GOING ON, KYLE?

SO WHAT DID YOU DO FOR YOUR AUDITION?
>> DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW LONG AGO THAT WAS?
I HAVE NO IDEA. >> ARE YOU DOING YOUR CHEF
CHARACTER? CAN I DO THAT, TOO.
LET ME JUST DO SOME OF THAT HMM. >> NO, NO, I'M SORRY, I WAS
CLEANING RAGS IN THERE. YOU'RE GONNA GET SICK, MAN.
>> OH, NO, DUDE, I GOT AN IRON STOMACH.
ALL I HATE IS HOT DOGS BACKSTAGE.
I CAN REALLY DO ANYTHING. ♪ I REALLY CAN DO ANYTHING ♪
HEY, THAT LOOKS -- THAT LOOKS -- YOU MIND IF I GIVE IT A
LITTLE -- I CAN DO THAT. OH, GOT A LITTLE TUMMY TROUBLE.
LET ME TRY THIS A LITTLE BIT. YEAH, I FIXED IT.
CECILY, BECK, WHAT'D YOU GUYS DO FOR YOUR AUDITION?
>> OH, WELL, I'M VERY GLAD YOU ASKED --
>> OH, I DO NOT WANT TO KNOW. >> HE'S OBSESSED WITH HIS
AUDITION. >> I KNOW, HE KEEPS SHOWING US
HIS AUDITION TAPE AND HE WON'T WATCH MINE.
>> ALL RIGHT. YOU KNOW, HE KEEPS BRAGGING THAT
HE CAN PLAY THE CLARINET. WHAT EVEN IS THAT.
>> YEAH, HE THINKS BEING HERE THIS WEEK WILL HELP HIM GET ON
"SNL." >> HE'S HOSTING "SNL".
>> OH, HAVE I SHOWN YOU MY AUDITION TAPE?
>> BECK. >> DID I MENTION I CAN ALSO PLAY
CLARINET? ♪♪♪
IT ACTUALLY WENT BETTER AT MY AUDITION.
