[@samwalker4913]

I totally thought she was molding him to be her assistant and the last scene would be here shouting at him to get her coffee and pick up her dry cleaning.

[@sayeedkhalshi]

You remember Bernie and Marjorie?

[@Jo-chilin]

Oh that would've been good

[@mtalhaawais]

Sam Walker Honestly, that would've been better than what they did.

[@simransangha8668]

Me too

[@entropias_gonos]

Wouldn't that be funnier?

[@kozzy1764]

Leave it to James Franco to make the punch line of the entire skit : “James Franco “ lol

[@splendidtorch7800]

to be fair, Seth Rogen has also made the punchline of an SNL sketch "I'm James Franco", so it's not just him

[@fluteloop6737]

Yup, total clown. Should've quit after Freaks and Geeks

[@JayColor]

Hobo James Franco looks like Regular Casey Affleck.

[@sharp9020c]

I clicked cuz I thought it was Casey Affleck😂

[@kankolinka]

Also surprised it wasn't Casey 😂😂

[@lumen8341]

I thought it was him in the thumbnail too.

[@Tojoj22]

Jay Color - So funny James Franco used to be homeless

[@dewitthobson2279]

Funny!

[@bashful_michael]

The twist was so good! I thought something bad was going to happen to one of them but this was much better and unexpected.

[@princesszoeylynn]

I know right! The ending is so funny.

[@linusmlgtips2123]

I thought he'd get run over or something haha

[@wealthytax9203]

For realz

[@ChristianNelsonn]

Arrested Development did it first.

[@Dubbsteppa21]

ye and someone else probably did it before them

[@sadstormtrooper]

Cecily has proven time and again that she can singlehandedly carry a sketch. Love you so much Cecily❤

[@mikophilo348]

SNL writers are better at movie type scripts than live sketch segments.

[@MrWolfchamp-xi3cu]

Yes indeed

[@melvina628]

Yes. It seems they are two distinct crafts, HR.

[@crouchingturtle6351]

I'm guessing they probably work on movies as well.

[@bradmodd7856]

they are free to do more, they should have a spinoff show SNR - saturday night recorded

[@gildenstorf]

I always get a little more interested when one of these comes up. All too often the live stuff bombs.

[@Jiajinpin]

“Merry Christmas James Franco”... Cecily just melt my heart down

[@UnwovenSleeve]

Watching this skit a second time knowing the punchline, you really start to see Franco’s point of view. This chick just came up and assumed he was homeless and bought him a bunch of stuff and invited him to her home. All he did was just come along, even tried to walk away at one point

[@roguesheep3083]

New tradition : saying "get out, james franco" to departing guests.

[@jackmeyer8451]

No way that iPhone didn’t crack.

[@piercepermenter6147]

Mine cracked just from watching it hit the pavement

[@davidcasas6517]

"People give me free things all the time, I'm a famous person." Lol, he's right. When you're famous, they do.

[@henrytawnn8694]

Yeah. It's funny how rich and famous people get free things, like those $126,000 Oscars gift baskets, but the people who don't have money have to pay for everything.

[@petepete8862]

James Franco is James Franco in "James Franco "

[@wendigobeastofthewoods8002]

This is like saying "Buffalo buffalo buffaloalo buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo." And I love it for that

[@raphaelcestari272]

Why does every episode of SNL seem like an oscar winning film and then something funny happens, *seriously they are talented*

[@markallen6244]

It's cute how she sincerely wishes him a nice Christmas at the end :) He just thought she was being nice and he was right because she was being nice to him. Such a sweet heart! I don't think knowing that he is rich and James Franco should change anything. I see this is a very beautifully written and cute skit.

[@toddsmitts]

"Get out, James Franco!" Not the first woman to say that.

[@fishfeeder8098]

ooohhhhhh . . . yikes

[@gaylebynumcardosa7034]

Yes but it definitely wasn’t Amber Heard.

[@glovergayles187]

Ha.!! Well done..🤣

[@SasapessoS]

There's a homeless man around my neighborhood that looks like Kevin Spacey. I hope it isn't really him, there is a school nearby.

[@GhostBrosProductions]

HAHA

[@GhostBrosProductions]

oh my god

[@TheMetroDetroiter]

Sasapesso I'm dead!

[@CityChicken007]

Wow...

[@VelinSevven]

It was all for a part. He's not ACTUALLY a pedophile.

[@Victoria-cm4jr]

"I'm James Franco," ha ha ha ha ha ha. Love it !!!

[@TempestWizard9893]

Katherine Joel Lozada you probably know that if this is the top comment, everyone sees this before watching the video.

[@bravoproductions1792]

[@JordanGalle]

That was one of the best twists ever, and truly sweet.

[@HypedBeast]

People give me free things all the time! lol

[@boppob1343]

People also overlook the joke about James Franco doing a lot of random jobs lmao

[@damiongoetz9655]

"I'm a famous person"

[@powerswish]

Cecily's got "lead in a drama film" skill.

[@wokeil]

1000%

[@wickedmonkeylover]

I love how she keeps saying his whole name.

[@playerx2006]

When is Cecily going to get an Emmy like Kate?

[@ScarlettJ1221]

[@letolethe3344]

"I expect my assistant to work as hard as I do" as I sit in a coffeeshop.

[@Mobius_Pizza]

And probably get paid 10 times the salary of the assistant

[@livecatgrenades]

Yeah how dare she have a lunch hour, which she seems to be taking call during.

[@cheetosortiz2783]

This was actually pretty good

[@Orphen42O]

Better than some of the Hallmark Christmas movies that have aired.

[@enzomthethwa5861]

The real Christmas charity she should've done was be nicer to her assistant, give her a raise, and give her time off to spend the holidays with her family.

[@user-cn6hv8nt9h]

I thought she was dressing him all up to pretend he’s her boyfriend while visiting her family over Christmas

[@fk4338]

T S henhouse

ain't that like a movie plot already?

Get outta my house James Franco 😂😂😂😂😂

@@joyeswinderman3845 it seems many women actually do say that to him. Just google it, stuff will show up

I like how after she finds out of his identity she keeps refering to him by his full name: Get out of my apartment, James Franco! Get out, James Franco! Don't do that, James Franco. Merry christmas, James Franco...

[@dennesey]

Having a second job is financially wise. Kudos James Franco.

[@strafeanator4864]

LOLOL "People give me free things all the time, I'm a famous person" LMAOO

[@RBelly-ni2zi]

Cecily Strong is funny AND beautiful!

[@tinaloye2014]

' i expect my assistant to work as hard as I do' No, your assistant doesn't get paid as much as you do, lol 😂

[@TCt83067695]

Tina Loye sorry so the assistant can ignore the responsibilities she's paid for?

[@dennispremoli7950]

thats such a retarded logic. So a miner should work as hard cause hes not paid as much as Bill Gates??

[@sasom7274]

Not just work decides the wage. What about work experience? Intuition? Success?

[@tinaloye2014]

TCt83067695 can you read? They aren't doing the same jobs, sure an assistant works hard but it's not the same job therefore the level of effort she needs to put in will not be the same as her boss. Or maybe you guys are just content being overused by your bosses... 🤔 My boss stays late hours, I don't and that's why they're paid more than I am.

[@tinaloye2014]

Dennis Premoli bill gates doesn't work the same hours or as gruelling a job as a miner and yet he's making more than a few country's entire GDP combined. Different job pay differently so if I'm bill gates assistant, and we are doing different jobs, I don't expect to be paid as much as he does cause I'm not bill gates... you get?

[@brady6355]

get out of my apartment James franco. the way she said James i loved it😂😂

[@ThEmEsSiAh187-CFGeorge]

Album is called "Underscoring the Positive by Matthew Moore" 2017 song in the beginning is called "Beautiful Memories"

[@aj1359]

Bleach187Mex BBS God bless you

[@ThEmEsSiAh187-CFGeorge]

AJ took me a long time to find the name of that song. Shazam couldn’t recognize it properly. But I finally found it. Enjoy!

[@thejwvariety]

i love these "movie" sketches SNL does sometimes

[@jahprime6932]

Her reactionary gasp or grunt mixed with that look after he tells her he feels bad about her phone being broken is so real. Cecily is good.

[@unitedstatesirie7431]

WOW ! That is really rare to see only one homeless man on a street corner these days. There is WAY more now !

[@JulietRoseCapulet777]

I kinda wanted them to fall in love....dammit James Franco!!

[@natekenworthy7367]

Merry Christmas James Franco.

[@herethereandeverywhere02]

We're gonna miss you, Cecily ❤️

[@flexitarianbeanqueen]

Excellent sketch! Beautifully filmed on the backdrop of a wintry NYC.. and the twist at the end was JUST RIGHT! 😁

[@anooseholay]

I like the line, ‘get outta my apartment! James Franco!’

[@defenseagainststalking]

He's right, people give you free things, including money, all the time when you're famous.

[@josemondragon3464]

McAllen, Texas?? Yup they are corrupt as hell. 😂😂😂

[@henrythompson5224]

I bet in real life, Cecily does have a big heart♥😊

[@lindsayalisonstevens3592]

I kept waiting for the punchline and wondering when hobo James Franco would get weird on Cecily. And then hobo James Franco became Oscar-winning-hungry-hobo James Franco 😂😂😂

[@priscillajimenez27]

I'm surprised he didn't reimburse her for what she's spent on him.

[@Sharky165]

Priscilla Jimenez Yeah and that deadbeat owes her a phone as well !! 🤣

[@callmeAnny1]

it’s called charity!!

[@melvina628]

He's James Franco.

How do you think the rich stay rich

[@mayaalexandra1822]

He left the clothes and other stuff at her apartment.

[@skaterunner16735]

I laughed so fucking hard at "I'm James franco".

[@EvilFookaire]

James Franco didn't go to whatever role he had at the end. He flew off to some rooftop, waiting for that Scrudge guy...

[@CabanaD]

When the homeless man has a striking resemblance to James Franco...

[@BirdSarus100]

The shameless plug at the end :)

[@SportsFan824]

2:38 is when snl kicks in

[@Mikeycrzed]

She finally recognized its Christmas! And you had to go ruining it by saying I’m James Franco 😦 she was having a moment

[@cj10109]

That was so cute. I love that. Cecily is a good actress 👏🏾👏🏾

[@mpg3946]

Totally unpredictable. Very good.

[@harang_1665]

Great twist.... Didn't see that coming 😂😂😂😂.... I thought this was going to be serious but SNL never fails to amuse me😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@shawngilliland243]

My favorite moment was when she tossed her phone out of the coach onto the pavement. I would LOVE to do that!

[@johnarmstrong5953]

should have said "For your Oscar consideration" at the end.

[@freda2758]

I thought the plot twist (and a better one) would be that she got him all cleaned up, took him back to her office, fired the receptionist, and left him in charge.

[@jamiesmith4293]

0:14 "I expect my assistant to work as had as I do." Do you pay your assistant as much as you get?

[@blu3j00Ls]

Good point

[@abbyfaith7278]

Haha I legit thought he was gonna kidnap her in the end😂🤣😂🤣

[@nrx8684]

Yeah get out of her house! I love Cecily Strong's acting 😂😂😂

[@leeroypancake]

I must be high took me 3 mins to realize it was James franco

LOL!! GENIUS of skit was keepin Franco silent till end.

sweet. I believe some have helped others in similar ways. It's nice to see kindness dramatized

I would have taken the atograph and sold it

If you want your assistant to work as hard as you do, give them half your pay.

[@withlove2963]

iMaDeMoN2012 Real talk.

[@georgedanilov8898]

That's not true People get paid for carrying responsibility Following directions hardly warrants the same pay grade Having said that, assistants get abused all the time, and they should be paid more!

“People give me free things all the time.” - James Franco

[@thomasgabriel6514]

I'll be honest with you. In the beginning it seemed like an Indian love story. Yea, seen those a lot. Cute but cliche. But then is got Americanized with a unexpected plot twist! Haha xD

[@countryroadstakemehome]

So is this how you pick up cougars.. all of my methods have been failing,

[@SN-qd9qw]

This is basically Arrested Development, when Lindsay thought Thomas Jean was homeless and she did him up just like this and found out he was an actor she thought he was homeless. Kind of the same thing he too was also playing a homeless person for a role
