-Is it -- Well, not yet.

-No, no. -Coming up.

-No, today is Thanksgiving.

-It is? -Yeah, today.

Happy Thanksgiving.

Happy Thanksgiving, man.

Thanks for coming over. Thanks for coming over, man.

-Did you make any food, or --

-I have just liquids, just -- -Yeah.

-I just pureed some turkey and stuff --

-Happy Thanksgiving. -Happy Thanksgiving.

What are you doing for Thanksgiving? Anything cool?

-Yeah, super cool stuff.

[ Laughter ]

-Yeah, man. -Hold on.

Listen to this.

I'm going to the house where my wife grew up in Boston.

-There you go, man.

[ Howls ]

[ Cheers and applause ]

[ Imitates air horn blaring ]

[ Beatboxing ]

-To hang out with my mother-in-law.

-Wow. [ Laughter ]

-And they have a basement.

[ Laughter ]

-Wow.

Wow, that's fun. -And they're gonna be --

Yeah. -The kids must love that.

-The kids love it.

The kids do. They love going to Boston.

-Yeah. -Because there's no basements

in California. Houses don't have basements.

-That's right.

-So a basement is like a magical place...

for them. [ Laughter ]

-Yeah, a little clubhouse. -They go down there

and, you know, have Nerf gun battles.

-And then the other big thing we do is we go to Dunkin' Donuts.

[ Laughter ]

-When you're in Boston?

-Their uncle, my brother-in-law...

-Yeah. -...my wife's brother --

-Yeah.

-...takes them to Dunkin' Donuts,

and they get to just pick whatever they want.

[ Light laughter ]

-That's what you do when you go to Boston?

-So that's what happens...

-Wow. -...when we go to Boston.

-[ Howls ] -Yeah!

Whoo!

-You're hosting "SNL" this weekend.

-I know.

-I'm so excited. -Thank you.

[ Cheers and applause ]

-For the fifth time. -Back up.

It's always a fun, surreal experience to go back.

You've done it. -Yeah.

-Right? -Doesn't it smell the same,

like, when you -- -The aroma is still rich.

-Yeah. -Yeah.

-It feels like going back to your high school or something.

Either it's the paint on the floor or something --

-Yeah, there's something -- -Yeah. But it's good.

It's good. And they got a good cast up there.

-Great cast. A lot to talk about in the news.

-Yeah, that's true. -Uh-huh. Right?

-But what do you -- When people talk about your best of "SNL"

or things that you've done on the show,

I know what everyone brings up to me,

which you're involved in.

[ Both laugh ]

Anyway, let's talk about something else.

-Cowbell. Cowbell sketch.

-Yes, the cowbell sketch. -Right?

-That's what I was gonna say. I was gonna say that.

I was gonna talk about the cowbell.

-You were a major part of that.

-I was a really major part of the cowbell sketch.

It was all you. It was all you.

This is a picture of -- -And there's Jimmy.

-Yeah. -That's me there.

-Right. -That's Kattan, Parnell.

-Look at that hair.

-Horatio Sanz. -And --

-That's you, and that is Christopher Walken.

-Which is -- It's the strangest thing.

[ Laughter ]

-And that's Christopher Walken.

-That's Christopher Walken across from that.

[ Laughter ]

-Look at -- That shirt is insane.

-You maintain that between dress rehearsal and air

that I went and put a tighter shirt on.

-I think you did. Didn't you?

-I thought it just hiked --

I thought I just put a little more mustard into it.

And then it hiked up.

-Is that right? I thought --

-But you thought I put a tighter shirt on, you think?

-I thought you did,

because this doesn't even feel like a shirt that should --

[ Laughter ]

It's insane. Everyone else is wearing other shirts.

I think I would have --

But you were coming up a little bit in dress.

-Yeah. -But that was high up.

-Yeah.

-And that was -- That was low down.

-But you might be right. Maybe I --

-I mean, you barely had a shirt on.

-Maybe I switched it to a tighter shirt.

-'Cause I remember it was so loud on air because --

-Oh, with -- Yeah.

I banged it much louder than the dress.

-No, but I mean the audience response.

Oh, the response. Yeah.

-Yeah, but, I mean, like, the sketch was on

at the end of the show, I believe,

which is where usually the weirder sketches are.

-Yeah, yeah. -And it was working so well

that the floor started shaking.

-Oh, I don't remember that.

-Yeah. Yeah.

-I was just in a haze. -You were in a --

Dude, you were in a comedy haze.

-I was staring you down.

But you --

'Cause you were laughing. But I was laughing, too,

but the beard was just protecting --

You couldn't see it. You couldn't see it.

-'Cause, dude, I -- -Wait, put the picture back up.

Look. See, the beard is hiding --

See, I'm smiling. I'm smiling right there.

-I mean, that was -- That started it for me.

That was my whole thing -- -But here's the crazy thing.

So, I go to see Christopher Walken years later...

-Yeah. -...in a play.

I say hello to him backstage.

And he's like, "You know,

you've ruined my life."

[ Laughter ]

What?

"People during the curtain call bring cowbells and ring them.

[ Laughter ]

The other day, I went for an Italian food lunch.

And the waiter asked if I wanted more cowbell

with my pasta Bolognese."

[ Laughter ]

And I think he was really mad at me.

-No way.

-He had a little smile, but --

-Well, because he had such a great career.

But, you know -- -He is a great actor.

-From "The Deer Hunter"... -Yeah.

-...to "Pulp Fiction"... -"Pulp Fiction." He's amazing.

-...to "More Cowbell." That's all he gets.

-That's all he gets now?

So it made a lot of people happy, but...

-Christopher -- ...ruined one person's life.

-Ruined one person. But what are you going to do?

-That's good odds. -Right?

-That's decent odds. You know what I'm saying?
