Transcript

[Jimmy Fallon]

Welcome. Welcome to the Tonight Show.

Give it up for my co host and star of the biggest show in the world, Stranger Things. Melly Bobby Brown is here tonight.

I'm so happy you're here.

[Millie Bobby Brown]

I'm so happy to be here. As you know, I'm a huge fan of the show. I watch all the 3 second clips online every night.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Thank you.

[Beth McCarthy-Miller]

Yeah. Well, we appreciate the support. This is gonna be a great night.

[Millie Bobby Brown]

I know. Definitely. We've always had so much fun together on the. I'm used to working alongside teenage boys, so I feel really comfortable with you tonight. Yeah. When Jimmy first emailed me about co hosting, it took me eight months to see it because Gen Z doesn't email. We text.

[Beth McCarthy-Miller]

I didn't know that. I didn't know that. Well, you're here now and this is actually your 11th time on the show.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Isn't that amazing?

[Millie Bobby Brown]

I know, I know. And each time I've been here, I've added another name.

[Beth McCarthy-Miller]

That's right. Yes. Congratulations. I want to confirm, what should I call you tonight?

[Millie Bobby Brown]

Professionally, I'm Millie Bobby Brown. Personally, I'm Millie Bonnie Bon Jovi. And when I'm in the South, I'm Millie Bob Thorne.

[Beth McCarthy-Miller]

Okay. Wow. Fantastic. Well, we're all glad that you're here with us tonight. And let me say Congrats on season five of Stranger Things.

[Jimmy Fallon]

It is the number one show in 90 countries.

[Millie Bobby Brown]

Wow. Oh, no, thank you.

It's really such an interesting to be on tv. The most popular shows right now are Stranger Things and really, anything about Mormons?

[Beth McCarthy-Miller]

That's correct. That's right. It just occurred to me though, you star in Stranger Things and you're married to the son of Jon Bon Jovi, so you must really love the 80s.

[Millie Bobby Brown]

Yeah, not so true.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Yeah, you're right.

[Millie Bobby Brown]

That's true. My father in law is Jon Bon Jovi.

[Beth McCarthy-Miller]

You're British and you're a Bon Jovi. I think that somehow makes you the princess of New Jersey.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Is that right?

[Millie Bobby Brown]

Maybe. Maybe I'll start wearing a crown and a pinky ring.

[Beth McCarthy-Miller]

Yeah, perfect. Stranger Things came out back in 2016 and I'm guessing that being in the public eye since you're 12 isn't easy.

[Millie Bobby Brown]

Yeah, I mean sometimes people can be really cruel. They used to say, you know, I had this annoying habit in interviews where I'd interrupt my co stars. I know they said I talk too much and I was like, I'm just excited. Like Debbie, you don't think I talk too much?

[Beth McCarthy-Miller]

No, I don't think so.

[Millie Bobby Brown]

No. Good. Thank you. I'm so glad. Like, everyone could really understand that, because I'm just trying my best.

[Beth McCarthy-Miller]

Happy to help. Okay. This made me laugh. I saw that a lot of fans noticed that Vecna looks slimmer this season, and they're saying that he's on Ozempic.

[Millie Bobby Brown]

I saw that, too. It's funny that people are commenting on Vecna's body. I mean, God help him if he gets a little lip filler.

[Beth McCarthy-Miller]

I read there's stuff out there. Maybe some Stranger Things spinoffs in the works. Did you see that?

[Millie Bobby Brown]

Yeah, we get pitched stuff all the time from. From Netflix. I mean, so far, nothing's really stuck.

[Beth McCarthy-Miller]

No.

[Millie Bobby Brown]

For instance, they wanted to try a competition show called Is Dustin Kate?

[Beth McCarthy-Miller]

Oh, yeah.

[Jimmy Fallon]

That's.

[Kenan Thompson]

No.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Yeah.

[Millie Bobby Brown]

There was an animated movie called K Pop Demogorgon Hunters.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Oh.

[Millie Bobby Brown]

Huge hit. There was a lifestyle show called With Love Vecna.

[Beth McCarthy-Miller]

Ooh, yeah.

[Millie Bobby Brown]

And then this one. I actually almost said yes to 11 in Paris.

[Beth McCarthy-Miller]

Oh, yeah, I would watch that one. I would watch that right now. We're on after tonight's game between the Kansas City Chiefs, the Houston Texans. Do you like football?

[Millie Bobby Brown]

Yeah, I love Taylor Swift.

[Beth McCarthy-Miller]

Yeah? Yeah, yeah. I've heard you're a big Taylor Swift fan.

[Millie Bobby Brown]

Yeah, no, I mean, that's right. She's the best. And, you know, Taylor's different eras perfectly describe Eleven and my experiences on Stranger Things.

[Beth McCarthy-Miller]

Really?

[Millie Bobby Brown]

Yeah. I mean, think about it. 11 has always been totally free, fearless, and that taught me to speak. Now, I wore a red dress when we won our first SAG award. And 11 needs to save the world. Before 1989, 11 gave me a reputation. I had my first kiss on the show, married my lover, and had a baby girl. Like, isn't that the best folklore you've ever heard? I mean, I'm so lucky to have played 11 and will be forevermore in debt to the Duffers and Netflix for giving me this opportunity. I could keep thanking everyone, but I'd be here long past midnight. So I just want to say I'm so sad that the show is ending. Like, so sad. I could teach in the Tortured Poets department, but, hey, that's the life of a showgirl.

[Jimmy Fallon]

That's how it's done. Oh, flowers. Oh, the flower. Oh, my gosh, the flowers for you.

[Beth McCarthy-Miller]

Well done.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Wow.

[Millie Bobby Brown]

Feels good to be promoted.

[Beth McCarthy-Miller]

Oh, my God, look at this. Welcome to the show, everybody. We have a great show tonight. She stars as 11 in one of the biggest shows in Netflix history. Stranger Things Season 5, Volume 1 is out. Now Volume 2 is out. Christmas Day. And the final episode airs New Year's Eve. And she's my co host for tonight.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Millie, Bobby Brown is here.

Joe Harbeck.

[Millie Bobby Brown]

He'S a very funny comedian and my favorite cast member of all all time on Saturday Night Live.

[Beth McCarthy-Miller]

Thank you.

Oh, he also co hosts Good Sports with Kevin Hart and Kenan Thompson. Yeah. New episodes are available Tuesdays on Prime Video. Kenan Thompson is here.

[Jimmy Fallon]

That's your favorite. I know you met me. Kenan Thompson is here tonight.

[Millie Bobby Brown]

Come on.

[Jimmy Fallon]

And we've lost.

[Beth McCarthy-Miller]

Also, before we begin, I wanted to quickly mention to tune in to NBC Tomorrow night at 10pm it's an all new Password holiday special.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Me and Keke Palmer.

It's super fun.

[Beth McCarthy-Miller]

Check out Password holiday special. It's a great one. Millie, thank you for co hosting tonight. How does it feel to be behind the desk?

[Millie Bobby Brown]

Amazing. The fact that I have everything pink. I feel like when I was here and sat here at 11, I was really. I was manifesting this for myself 10.

[Beth McCarthy-Miller]

Years ago, right before you were on the show and you right from then on, you were like I would host one day.

[Millie Bobby Brown]

Co host. Yeah. I couldn't do it on my own. I couldn't do it without you, Jim.

[Beth McCarthy-Miller]

Thank you, Beth.

The best. I'm so glad you're here because I heard a rumor about you. I want to know if it's true. I heard that you're a big fan of the show the Secret Lives of Mormon Wives.

Yeah, it is true.

[Millie Bobby Brown]

Of course it is. Anything reality related? And me, I'm in all over. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Beth McCarthy-Miller]

Well, we got a special message sent in to us earlier today for you. Take a look.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Hey, Millie, you're gonna crush it at co hosting tonight.

[Millie Bobby Brown]

And if you ever find yourself in Utah, give us a call. And if we ever find ourselves in the upside down, we'll give you a call.

[Beth McCarthy-Miller]

We love you.

[Jimmy Fallon]

How cool that.

How cool was that? Stop.

Is that cool? Do you understand?

[Millie Bobby Brown]

I had my hair in a towel before I came to the studio watching the reunion special.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Yes. This is very cool.

[Beth McCarthy-Miller]

Thank you to the Mormon wives for doing that. I appreciate that.

[Jimmy Fallon]

I'm so happy I surprised you.

[Beth McCarthy-Miller]

I love that you got surprised.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Welcome back. We're hanging out with my co host, millie Bobby Brown.

[Beth McCarthy-Miller]

Volume one of Stranger Things 5 is streaming now on Netflix. Volume two will be released Christmas Day. The final episode will premiere on New Year's Eve. And I also heard they're gonna release in some theaters, right?

[Millie Bobby Brown]

Yes.

[Beth McCarthy-Miller]

How exciting is that?

[Millie Bobby Brown]

I know. Insane. I can't believe it. I feel like when they told us that. I was like, oh, that makes sense. Like it didn't seem out of the ordinary, but I'm definitely gonna be sneak. Surprising some audiences.

[Beth McCarthy-Miller]

So I wanna get into all these things and things that we can't talk about. But one is, since the last time you were here, you adopted a baby. A beautiful baby.

[Millie Bobby Brown]

Yeah.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Congratulations.

[Millie Bobby Brown]

Thank you.

[Beth McCarthy-Miller]

It's the greatest thing as a dad of two girls, it's the greatest thing that you'll ever do. It's amazing. Congratulations. So happy for you and your husband. Thank you, Jake. And how's now, I want to ask you, how's little Winnie, your dog, dealing with this new.

[Millie Bobby Brown]

You've met her?

[Beth McCarthy-Miller]

Yes, she's been on the show.

[Millie Bobby Brown]

Yeah, she sat right here. Yeah, she, she's been. It's a hit to the ego.

[Beth McCarthy-Miller]

It is, Yeah.

[Millie Bobby Brown]

I think she doesn't understand it. She hasn't acknowledged her presence yet, but my daughter now has totally figured out that she's an animal. You know, before it was kind of like they were also Winnie, it's a power play for her. She's. She knows what she's doing. She's like, I'm going to ignore you until you disappear, basically. And I'm like, Winnie, I have sit downs with her. I'm like, she's not going anywhere now.

[Beth McCarthy-Miller]

But does Winnie think that she is a human?

[Millie Bobby Brown]

Of course, yes.

[Beth McCarthy-Miller]

Yes.

[Millie Bobby Brown]

When he understands the English language. I don't think you understand. Last night she took one of my daughter's bath toys and ran it up the stairs. And I said, I saw you do that. And she poked her head around the corner and just death stared me. She knew. She stopped on the stairs to be like, yeah, that's right. What are you going to do about it?

[Beth McCarthy-Miller]

She's a professional, by the way. She's a great. We did a TikTok together once, you remember, she knows action and she said, action. She ran with us.

[Millie Bobby Brown]

Yeah.

[Beth McCarthy-Miller]

She's a very great dog. Love your sister. Love your sister. There's lots of family.

[Millie Bobby Brown]

Yeah, yeah, exactly.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Yeah.

[Beth McCarthy-Miller]

You got to love everybody. By the way, I saw your family was with you again this appearance. They're backstage rooting for you.

[Millie Bobby Brown]

Yes.

[Beth McCarthy-Miller]

They love you so much, your friends and family. Since, since the first time you came on the show. Your family has been coming.

[Millie Bobby Brown]

Yeah. Every, every time. My parents are so supportive. My siblings are here tonight. It feels so amazing, like they've been on this journey as long as I have, which I think is kind of, you know, like everybody's like, oh, how has it been for You. And I'm like, yeah, it's so emotional, but it's also really emotional for my family, my parents, who have taken me to see set every single day for the last 10 years, and they didn't stop when I was 18. So, you know, they were always there for me at my lunches and stuff like that. And my sister Paige got married during the production. I was planning her wedding during the production of season five. I was her planner. Basically. I got married, got serious wedding blues, if, you know. You know, And I was like, I'm just gonna plan yours. And she was like, great. And so I was planning the wedding with blood, basically, on zooms with blood all over me.

[Beth McCarthy-Miller]

Fighting Vecna.

[Millie Bobby Brown]

Fighting Vecna. And being like, I really feel like the tablescape needs to be more.

And, yeah. And then we finished, and obviously, she got married this year, and I was there, basically, just on a bike, clipboard in hand, radios, just loving the whole thing.

[Beth McCarthy-Miller]

Come on.

[Millie Bobby Brown]

Yeah.

[Jimmy Fallon]

That's the best.

[Beth McCarthy-Miller]

I mean, like you said, you've been here since season one.

[Millie Bobby Brown]

Yeah.

[Beth McCarthy-Miller]

And, gosh, now it's. It's the final season.

[Millie Bobby Brown]

I know.

[Beth McCarthy-Miller]

And that must have been bittersweet.

[Millie Bobby Brown]

It really was. Yeah. I think, you know, everybody kept kind of hyping it up, and I didn't really know, like, how I was gonna react. And then the night before the last table read, we didn't know what was gonna happen. Like, nobody knew. I actually did know. I actually snuck. I like, to blackmail the directors. I have, like, you know, high school pictures of them that I will say I will release this if you don't tell me what's happening. But I snuck into the writers room, and I saw this really big whiteboard with all the endings on it, and I was just, like.

So much to process, and so I knew. But the night before the cold read, no one knew anything. And Noah and I made, like, you know, there's 30 cast members on the show. It's such a big cast. We made 30 friendship bracelets for everyone with charms that describe their personalities. So when we went in, we gave them to everyone, and it was just a really wholesome day. Like, we didn't sit at a table. We sat on couches, and we just cried for basically two hours straight.

[Beth McCarthy-Miller]

Oh, my gosh.

[Millie Bobby Brown]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Beth McCarthy-Miller]

It's the greatest thing to watch and just experience. I'm watching with my daughter now, and so I'm re. Watching the episodes.

[Millie Bobby Brown]

Yeah. And actually, I just wanted to say. So speaking of bracelets.

For my 11th time on the show, I thought what should I bring you? To thank you for having me on the show for so many years, Always taking care of me. So I brought you Eleven's bracelet from the show, which Hopper gives to her in season two. And because you've been such a paternal figure and always looked out for me, I wanted to give you this to say thank you.

[Beth McCarthy-Miller]

Oh, my God.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Are you serious?

[Millie Bobby Brown]

Love you. I love you.

[Beth McCarthy-Miller]

That is unbelievably the most thoughtful thing ever. Oh, my gosh.

[Millie Bobby Brown]

Yeah, I wore that for, like, basically eight years straight, and it's the only one, so.

[Beth McCarthy-Miller]

Yeah, if you ever need it, buddy, you know where it is. I have it.

[Millie Bobby Brown]

I'll take such great care. No, just give it to your girls and they can be a superhero, so. Yeah. Means the world.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Wow.

[Beth McCarthy-Miller]

That's the nicest thing. Thank you so, so much.

[Millie Bobby Brown]

Of course.

[Beth McCarthy-Miller]

I thought it'd be fun to go through fan theories with you.

[Millie Bobby Brown]

Okay.

[Beth McCarthy-Miller]

And just. See, I know you can't say anything.

[Millie Bobby Brown]

Oh, my God. No.

[Beth McCarthy-Miller]

I don't want to get you in trouble. You won't get in trouble.

[Millie Bobby Brown]

But just what my friends do, they come over, they pitch theories, put me on the spot. I don't know what to say. I do confirm and deny things, but I'm not online, so I don't see the theory. So they're basically my in person theory machine where they give me all these.

[Beth McCarthy-Miller]

We're not going to hold you online for any of these theories, but just make it.

[Millie Bobby Brown]

I've got a good poker face. Right. Go on.

[Kenan Thompson]

All right.

[Beth McCarthy-Miller]

When the Demogorgon is first chasing Will in season one, the lock on his front door opens on its own from the inside. So 11 may have been involved and used her powers to help it take Will.

[Millie Bobby Brown]

I've actually never heard that one. Did that happen?

I can't even believe that people remembered that.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Wow.

[Millie Bobby Brown]

I didn't even know that. Well, I mean.

I can't confirm or deny it.

[Beth McCarthy-Miller]

Okay.

That'S good. How about this? Vecna is not the main villain. He's just being controlled by the Mind Flayer.

You all made the same reaction. Everyone's like, mm.

[Millie Bobby Brown]

So I feel this is what a very agreed upon theory. Okay.

[Kenan Thompson]

All right.

[Jimmy Fallon]

We're all set.

[Millie Bobby Brown]

I mean, yeah, that's great.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Okay.

[Beth McCarthy-Miller]

Karen, Wheeler, Mike, Nancy. And Holly's mom is Vecna's little sister.

[Millie Bobby Brown]

This is hilarious.

[Beth McCarthy-Miller]

That's can't be. That's hilarious.

[Millie Bobby Brown]

This is hilarious.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Yeah.

[Beth McCarthy-Miller]

And this show would never do anything like that.

The entire series is actually just a game of Dungeons and Dragons. That the kids are playing.

[Millie Bobby Brown]

No, I've seen a few. I've actually seen one theory about this and I thought, hmm.

[Beth McCarthy-Miller]

I just feel like.

Hmm.

[Millie Bobby Brown]

It was an alternative theory. It wasn't similar to this, but it was almost bang on.

[Beth McCarthy-Miller]

Okay. Okay.

You didn't happen to see that theory in the Duffer Brothers office, did you? Oops. How about this? 11 and will are twins who are separated at birth.

[Millie Bobby Brown]

Noah and Millie were separated at birth.

[Beth McCarthy-Miller]

Yeah, I would say that.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Yeah.

[Beth McCarthy-Miller]

You guys are besties.

[Millie Bobby Brown]

Yeah. Like, I saw he sat here the other night. I waited up.

[Beth McCarthy-Miller]

Were you so psyched to note spoiler. Everybody plug your ears if you haven't for volume one. But that Will has powers. Are you.

[Millie Bobby Brown]

I was fuming. Are you joking me? We're giving out the powers willy nilly.

No, no. I was actually really happy when we did the read through. I couldn't believe it as I was. And I was just looking at him like, we get to be superheroes together.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Ye.

[Beth McCarthy-Miller]

I was so happy as a fan. I was so happy. Cause he was coming on the show, and I wanted to make sure that I was caught up right to that episode.

[Millie Bobby Brown]

Yeah.

[Beth McCarthy-Miller]

And everyone's like, you gotta watch. No spoilers.

[Millie Bobby Brown]

It's not such an important episode.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Yeah.

[Beth McCarthy-Miller]

And I'm watching it, and I'm just, like, upset because I go, oh, no, he's gonna die.

[Millie Bobby Brown]

Yeah. Yeah. Well, I would have died had he died.

[Beth McCarthy-Miller]

Yeah. Okay, good.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Perfect.

[Beth McCarthy-Miller]

Yeah. How about this rumor? 11 has time traveled to present day because of what she says to Hopper at the beginning of episode four. Watch this.

[Millie Bobby Brown]

Six. Oh, God.

Seven.

[Beth McCarthy-Miller]

There you go.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Yeah, just.

[Beth McCarthy-Miller]

You knew. You knew that.

I know. I'm way too old to know that. But also, in the first episode of season five, we see Eleven's missing poster. Can we zoom in on that birthday there?

[Millie Bobby Brown]

6.

[Beth McCarthy-Miller]

7.

[Millie Bobby Brown]

They've really done me up here, haven't they?

[Jimmy Fallon]

Yeah.

[Millie Bobby Brown]

I just like when I saw one video and I was like, okay.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Yeah.

[Millie Bobby Brown]

Every season is a meme of some somehow of Elle or even just me. And this year, seeing that, I thought, oh, and it's so, like, weird that I pause and the whole.

[Jimmy Fallon]

I was like, oh, just say it.

[Beth McCarthy-Miller]

Just say it.

[Jimmy Fallon]

7. Yeah. She did it. Millie Bobby Brown, Volume 1 of Stranger Things 5 is streaming now on Netflix. We'll be right back with Kenan Thompson.

[Millie Bobby Brown]

Stick around.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Can't believe this.

[Kenan Thompson]

What's up, everybody?

[Beth McCarthy-Miller]

Come on.

Kenan. Thank you for being here the day after Saturday Night Live aired. How. How are you?

[Kenan Thompson]

We live here. You didn't know that, did you?

[Beth McCarthy-Miller]

Go to sleep.

[Kenan Thompson]

Yeah, I slept really well, and it felt good.

[Beth McCarthy-Miller]

What's your Sundays usually like?

[Kenan Thompson]

Usually it's a lot of family time. You know, I have two little girls, and they are seven and 11 now, so, you know, the big girl's playing a lot of soccer. Little girl does tap dance, so it's a lot of family time today. We went to see the Bergdorf windows just now. That was nice. And we saw the tree.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Oh, gorgeous.

[Beth McCarthy-Miller]

Gorgeous.

[Kenan Thompson]

Yeah. I mean, New York City at Christmas time is the best in the years.

[Beth McCarthy-Miller]

You've done a bunch of Stranger Things sketches on Sirent Live.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Yeah.

[Kenan Thompson]

Yeah.

[Beth McCarthy-Miller]

Here's you and Leslie.

[Kenan Thompson]

It's a big show. Let's see.

[Beth McCarthy-Miller]

Yeah.

[Millie Bobby Brown]

Oh, yeah.

[Beth McCarthy-Miller]

You and Leslie were the parents of Lucas.

[Kenan Thompson]

Yeah.

[Beth McCarthy-Miller]

And this one.

[Kenan Thompson]

We don't really understand what's happening.

[Beth McCarthy-Miller]

No, nothing.

[Kenan Thompson]

You weren't black parents don't take no mess.

[Beth McCarthy-Miller]

Yeah. Are you a Stranger Things fan?

[Jimmy Fallon]

Yes.

[Kenan Thompson]

Yes, I am.

[Beth McCarthy-Miller]

There you go. That's what I'm talking about.

[Kenan Thompson]

Big fan.

[Beth McCarthy-Miller]

Thank you. Thank you.

[Kenan Thompson]

You've been doing wonderful things with number seven. So it's been great.

[Beth McCarthy-Miller]

Eleven.

[Kenan Thompson]

Yeah. Eleven. Seven. Eleven, seven, eleven. It's just a constant little thing.

[Beth McCarthy-Miller]

Seven. Yeah.

[Millie Bobby Brown]

This is your 23rd season on SNL. You started on the show in 2003, and I was born in 2004, so I've basically never known SNL without you.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Wow.

[Kenan Thompson]

So I must thank you. Thank you.

[Beth McCarthy-Miller]

That's a good feeling.

[Kenan Thompson]

That's a great. I must be like a God to you. Is that what that is?

[Beth McCarthy-Miller]

Oh, my God.

[Kenan Thompson]

No. It's the greatest job in the world, and it's an honor to be asked back every year. You know what I mean? And I don't know where 23 years has gone. Cause I know it's just such a pleasure to do. I mean, you know how it is.

[Beth McCarthy-Miller]

It feels like just yesterday you started.

[Kenan Thompson]

Yeah, absolutely. How many years now for you on this?

[Beth McCarthy-Miller]

103.

[Kenan Thompson]

Yeah. Incredible.

[Jimmy Fallon]

See him.

[Beth McCarthy-Miller]

103 years. Incredible seeing this happen.

[Millie Bobby Brown]

Yeah.

[Beth McCarthy-Miller]

We are following the big football game tonight, and I saw on your show that you do a pretty great Patrick Mahomes impression. Oh, good sport.

[Kenan Thompson]

Thank you. Thank you.

[Beth McCarthy-Miller]

Yeah. What is the secret to a Patrick Mahomes impression?

[Kenan Thompson]

It's kind of all in the voice, you know, like, just.

Trying to stay focused up, you know, and be positive out there and be there for my guys. You know what I mean?

[Beth McCarthy-Miller]

Oh, my God. Come on.

[Jimmy Fallon]

That's how you do it, right?

[Beth McCarthy-Miller]

Last time you were on our show was right before SNL. 50th and I always thank you so much for coming on our show. You know, I love you. Come on, you got to do two sketches.

[Kenan Thompson]

Not one.

[Beth McCarthy-Miller]

Two sketches with Eddie Murphy, the Great, the goat. What was it like? Cause that's. I mean, that's everyone's idol, you know.

[Kenan Thompson]

When you're on Sirent Live, is it only heard one. Woo.

[Beth McCarthy-Miller]

So.

No, no, when you're on.

[Kenan Thompson]

Definitely mine.

[Beth McCarthy-Miller]

No, no, definitely mine.

[Kenan Thompson]

Yeah, definitely one of my idols, for sure. But no, Eddie, he's the goat, you know, like, he's. I think he's the biggest SNL cast member to, like, leave the show and only come back and host once. It was Sandler before that. Sandler came and then Eddie Murphy came. So, like, the two prodigal sons have returned. But it's just an exciting thing to, like, work with one of your heroes, kind of, so.

[Beth McCarthy-Miller]

Cause why?

[Kenan Thompson]

Because when you write a sketch, you usually have to explain, you know, the sketch to the people that you want to have in it. But this is Eddie Murphy. So, you know, Brian Tucker, the guy I write a lot of sketches with, he was like, let's go down and, like, you know, explain the sketch to Eddie Murphy. I'm like, I don't think we need to do that. But he's like, come on, let's do it anyway. I was like, all right, let's go. And then we go in there and Eddie's just, you know, head to toe, like, kind of hood, you know what I mean? All black everything with like a jacket and a black hoodie coming out and sunglasses. I was like, oh, Eddie in the streets. I didn't know that.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Yeah.

[Kenan Thompson]

And we started explaining it to him. He was like, yeah, yeah, I got it. I'm like, yeah, of course you got it.

[Beth McCarthy-Miller]

Yeah, you're Eddie Murphy. What am I telling Eddie Murphy? Yeah. So Robert De Niro, I remember he hosted, and he's like, jimmy, where do I stand?

[Jimmy Fallon]

Yeah.

[Beth McCarthy-Miller]

And I go, I can't talk to Robert Tenero. You're not supposed to stand here, Jimmy.

[Kenan Thompson]

Yeah, we do pretty good there. But hey, hey, where am I supposed to stand? Jimmy?

[Beth McCarthy-Miller]

That's pretty good. That's pretty good, right? You do two great impressions. Patrick Mahomes and great Robert De Niro. Yeah. If you close your eyes and plug your ears, it's like he's sitting right there.

[Kenan Thompson]

Close your eyes. Everybody watch this. Hey, Jimmy, where am I supposed to stand?

[Beth McCarthy-Miller]

That's fantastic. That's a great. That's an amazing Robert De Niro. Yeah.

[Millie Bobby Brown]

You were recently on Michelle Obama's podcast.

[Beth McCarthy-Miller]

Yes.

[Millie Bobby Brown]

Have you ever met her before? Thank you.

[Kenan Thompson]

Yeah, it was amazing. No, I had never met her before and it was another very nervous experience. I just wanted to call her your highness or something. Yeah, no, call me Michelle. I'm like, I can't. She's too special.

[Beth McCarthy-Miller]

Your highness is hilarious.

[Kenan Thompson]

Yeah. She let the girl, my girls, come in and join us and, like, one of them sat on her lap and she was talking to them. She's the best.

[Beth McCarthy-Miller]

She really is one. Congrats on your new show, Good Sports.

[Kenan Thompson]

Thank you, sir.

[Beth McCarthy-Miller]

It's very funny.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Thank you.

[Millie Bobby Brown]

Thank you.

[Jimmy Fallon]

It's very funny.

[Kenan Thompson]

Number one, baby.

[Jimmy Fallon]

We've got number one. Come on, baby.

[Beth McCarthy-Miller]

What is it like? What is it like working with Kevin Hart every week?

[Kenan Thompson]

Look at the picture.

[Beth McCarthy-Miller]

I know.

[Kenan Thompson]

It's the best. We have a great time. Kevin does not want to work hard, so he comes in, we do our thing, and he's out the back door.

[Beth McCarthy-Miller]

You know what I mean?

[Kenan Thompson]

So it's not a whole lot of work.

[Beth McCarthy-Miller]

He's a generous comedian. He gives a lot and he laughs.

[Kenan Thompson]

Absolutely. And like, everybody wants to take shots at him because, you know, you want to take shots at the king or the successful guy in the room kind of thing.

[Beth McCarthy-Miller]

Yeah, of course.

[Kenan Thompson]

And he totally plays along with it.

[Beth McCarthy-Miller]

Oh, he takes it. In fact, it makes him even funnier. It's the best because if you try to get him mad, that's when he gets the funniest.

[Kenan Thompson]

It's super viral. We were doing this thing with this hot dog lady or something, and she's from Chicago and it's a thing that they don't put ketchup on their hot dogs in Chicago.

[Beth McCarthy-Miller]

Yes. I saw this.

[Kenan Thompson]

And he had a red shirt on. So she was mad about that from the beginning. And he was just like, all right, Kevin, they'll bleep this. But like, kevin, don't come in here with that bull. And I was like, all right, lady, calm down. It's just a hot dog bit.

[Beth McCarthy-Miller]

It's just a hot. Let's just do it.

[Kenan Thompson]

A hot dog bit. They started going back and forth.

[Beth McCarthy-Miller]

They started going back and forth.

[Kenan Thompson]

It was fantastic.

[Beth McCarthy-Miller]

It's the funniest thing. Went everywhere.

[Kenan Thompson]

Yeah. Please tune in at your leisure and enjoy the show.

[Jimmy Fallon]
