Michael Keaton Tribute Monologue - SNL

[@bigb860]

I like how Keaton has only hosted 3 times and they were 82, 92, and then here in 2015. He's gotten the chance to work with essentially 3 different generations of SNL cast members.

[@Foxy02016]

And now 2024. Another generation as well

[@lancecryor]

That Beetlejuice voice was amazing. He's still got it.

[@fergman9344]

FREE1UP I know!

[@jubalcalif9100]

I know ! Love it ! :-)

[@melinazorrillachoque3186]

Okk

[@Foxy02016]

FREE1UP and it just shows that Alex Brightman knows he can’t replace the movie version and so he’s made the musical one all his own

[@NateIsCorrupt]

Beetle juice 2 is needed now! Batman Beyond would be nice as well!

[@pam0626]

Michael Keaton's timing is excellent. He is so talented.

[@jubalcalif9100]

Amen to that ! He's one gifted actor !

[@ifeelpretty5790]

Jubal Calif Exactly! How many actors can play both Batman and Beetlejuice and still conjure up their voices decades later?

[@toncka]

I'm a grown ass man but I giggled like a little girl when he said, "I'm Batman."

[@musicis1]

toncka ditto

[@Foxy02016]

toncka and “It’s Showtime”

[@robertoruiz9049]

Haaaa that's hilarious 😂!! I did the same !!!! LMAO!!!! well said man well said 👍😎👊 Michael is the Man fo sho!!

Watching in 2023 These dreams came true once more.

[@TheReal7Bit]

This was, without a doubt, one of the best opening monologues SNL had in years. If not even one of the best ever, I'm dead serious this was hilarious. Bobby Moynihan dressed as Otho behind Fake Beetlejuice was the funniest shit ever hahah. I don't think all the sketches were funny but that opening monologue and the scientology spoof alone were worth it.

[@TheAtomicEwok]

Don't forget the easter basket sketch.

[@jubalcalif9100]

I have a notion to second that emotion !!

[@firestormgalaxy1689]

Michael Keaton is so awesome

[@matrakas4]

No, he's Batman.

Gosh I saw Penguin before they even started!

[@splintercell2002]

Great job on the Joker and Penguin makeup.

[@allys744]

Yeah, why are we ignoring that?

[@orangeleprachaun4723]

I was also very impressed

[@timtwoface]

Particularly Penguin, they knocked that outa the park.

[@samanthamerrill1811]

BEETLEJUICE BEETLEJUICE BEETLEJUICE! I lived where they shot the film and I was so excited!I

[@caralorenzini7514]

Samantha Merrill they might make a second Beatle Juice

[@StarWarsMoments]

Both of them.

[@kennethsiller1664]

The real payoff for this bit was having Michael Keaton look into the camera and say "I'm Batman."

[@kab4292]

I wonder how many people dont understand how awesome this was....because it was so incredibly awesome!!! He will always be the best Batman!

[@mincarol7225]

Great opening, Michael Keaton is such a great sport. I hope it won't be as long of a wait to see him host again. He is the host with the most.

[@janthrasher1]

This was the best host monologue I´ve ever seen,

[@simpsonsfreak23]

I SCREAMED WHEN HE SAID THE LINES!

[@BlushGush]

Me too!!!

[@art23428]

Nobody cares

[@DamienReaper_PrinceofHalloween]

Both Batman and Beetlejuice changed me. Along with Ghostbusters and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. I marked out when he did the voices. We need the Ghost with the Most back.

[@yellabonej24]

Damien Reaper a beetlejuice was already announced and hes returning as beetlejuice

[@annaelisavettavonnedozza9607]

Did u see “Ghostbusters: Afterlife?” It was excellent

Oh shit. That's actually a really good Penguin. lmao

The best Batman...

[@jubalcalif9100]

I think Wally Cox could have done wonders in the role...but Mr Keaton was indeed XLNT as "Batman" !!

[@Foxy02016]

droopy562 Second best Beetlejuice we all know the best Beetlejuice Star has to be Betleguse, up there in the sky

[@regretto]

I really like how Michael acts all oldschool and classy in this one, really looks sort of Cary Grant-esque or something. legendary actor, his works with Burton in big part shaped my cultural code when I was a kid, and I'm glad they did.

[@MROMERO2007]

There will never be another Michael Keaton. Such a great actor. Best monologue of the season.

[@yellabonej24]

get michael keaton to play bruce in a batman beyond film. he still got it

[@Foxy02016]

yellabonej24 if Mark Hamil can come back as Joker in a game, Keaton can too, just gotta ask him nicely and pay him for it, no ones doing it for free

[@ronnielopez3267]

Dude!...you literally called it.

I've been a Michael Keaton fan since 1979. It is a collection of VHS , posters, books, and DVDs . He is my favorite batman! The only true torn batman /Bruce Wayne actor to show it on screen. Mr mom is top and dream team OMG. Love it! The squeeze movie he did I like. Touch and go. White noise made me sad. He is s very talented actor
