Mike Myers Monologue - Saturday Night Live

[@adamkane4217]

This monologue is like a study in late 90s fashion.

[@borawserboxer]

The fit made me exclaim "What year is this?" at the start, and then "They're doin a musical?", but then at the end, "Wow".

[@lazersly]

Jim Breuer: "Me, too, Mike?!" Not a chance in hell, Jim Breuer. 😂

[@naptownmenace]

Tim Meadows almost stole the bit with his surprisingly good voice.

[@RoscoMontana21]

Tim Meadows never got the love he deserved in Hollywood. Sure he’s had some fantastic roles over the years, but he could’ve been a huge star imo.

[@mattvalin1958]

I am checking this out because it randomly came back to me like 20 years later haha

[@derekjhoover82]

I’m sorry, almost? You misspelled “completely”, love Tim meadows

[@frarfarf]

That's such a long time. I see that now.

[@bainsey89]

So… Kenan picked up Tim’s contract?

[@Thebuird]

Love Norm proudly rocking that Canadian flag at the end

[@gator9339]

RIP Norm

[@tuck2727]

I remember this when it first aired. Mike Myers is a gem.

[@Room142]

I adore him. Talented, creative, professional and sweet. When I watch him, I'm proud to be Canadian.

[@ethandavies7627]

That's nice

[@JErnst-pl5xk]

Myers is Scottish 😕

[@TheRailwayArms]

@@JErnst-pl5xk How do you figure? Both of his parents (and grandparents) were from England and he was born in Toronto. He just does a shite Scottish “accent” 🤣

[@malcolmxpanther]

I can’t believe Mike Myers hasn’t hosted SNL since 1997

[@RichV20]

I can't confirm it, but I think he has a soft ban from hosting after this one time in 1997. All the skits when he hosted he wrote or pitched. Watch the whole thing again, it is very Myers foreign characters oriented.

[@SceneComparisons]

@@RichV20 soft ban? he was on the final sketch of SNL 40. him and Dana are kings over there

[@RichV20]

@@SceneComparisons informal ban from "hosting". Mike has come back several times over a decade and a half away to do several cold opens. Cameo and host for the week are two different things. Hence the "soft ban", something like Chevy's.

[@iHeartsNostalgiaPit]

@@RichV20 oh man even if he was invited back the only recurring character he could do again would be Wayne (Coffee Talk he would probably only do if he brings back Paul Baldwin)

[@thecaynuck4694]

@@RichV20 why would they give him a “soft ban?”

[@thwiftlythwept7023]

Meadows had the true punch line of the bit and it totally worked. High-tier monologue status granted!

[@llYossarian]

...that complete "Why did I sign that 30 year contract..." breakdown at the end of his solo still pops into my head on a semi-daily basis.

[@jasonmichaelcook2239]

Sadly none of the cast members asking if they could host, have hosted. Even more sadly, RIP Norm. 😔

[@willfungusman8666]

Norm hosted Idiot

[@iverkjellkken6569]

Might be because none of them had a movie/show to promote

[@terryhamilton1196]

Norm did host at least 😢

[@dkrom]

"Who am I anyways? Why are contracts so incredibly hard to break? Why did I sign a thirty year contract? That's such a long time. I see that now."

[@fezzik7619]

Unnecessary comment

[@josephlawson9950]

Tim meadows leaved snl in 2000

[@mouse059]

We're in here signing 30 year contracts. YOU DON'T WANT NONE OF THIS SHIT, DEWEY

[@NessaDotiktoknessahoangdooffic]

Mike ❤❤❤❤❤❤😢

[@GrandiaKnight]

Austin Powers was 1997? Damn that makes me feel old!

[@coktoe4487]

Yeah, and now your comment about feeling old is 6 years old. If you need to talk let me know.🦄🦄🦄🦄

[@gator9339]

I was in kindergarten in 97. I'm 29 now

[@krankyjsmith9780]

2:57 I doubt it was a bad dress rehearsal, probably the OJ and Clinton jokes.

[@jasonmccrank4981]

Poor Mark McKinney. He deserved so much better than bit player status after The Kids in the Hall wrapped up (originally).

[@귀염뚱땡이-l8o]

I totally remember the night I saw that show on TV. damn 20 years ago.

[@nickschauer582]

After hear so many of mikes accents it’s a little weird hearing him talk normal haha

[@gator9339]

When I hear Mike talk all I can think of is Shrek

[@rosskerr1439]

Yeah, I thought the same thing when I saw this.

[@bhunt799]

Hopefully Mike Myers comes back to host.

[@xTheOxx]

That was a damn good cast.

[@LooxeY]

hahaha so sweet he almost cried

[@Emomom6689]

His dancing !!!

[@markbleichwehl]

Tim Meadows is hilarious on The Goldbergs

[@rosskerr1439]

🎵NOW HE KNOWS WHAT TOTAL BLISS IS LIIIKE!!!🎶

[@goddessaset]

SOME OF THE BEST WORK IN SNL HISTORY!! I miss SNL in the 90s... it was TRULY hysterical.

[@brianlynch996]

That is a SHINY late 90s suit.

[@OzzyBen07]

I'm here from the future. Austin Powers is awesome. Go see it

[@arcade85_]

okay 2020 future guy

[@jacob.loesch]

The dance at 2:36 looks like Austin Powers

[@davida.benedetto2281]

At 2:28 ("Now I'm in....the entire show") he briefly morphs into Lank Thompson - Handsome Actor. Haven't seen that character in a while. ("And hey, get handsome!")

[@WesDaviestravel]

They don’t make ‘em like this anymore huh

[@nelikekex1481]

Awesome, I was kind of expecting to him saying at the end 'talk amongst yourselves'

[@elijahherring2273]

Taken from Saturday Night Live: The Best of Mike Myers (1999).

[@eurodara]

Darrell Hammond - "after I leave the show", yeah, you left after 14 seasons just to become an annoucer few years later

[@RichV20]

job security until death as Don Pardo successor

[@douglaslowe5]

Waste of Hammonds great talent to be Pardos replacement. Anyone can annouce, Darrell has mad skills. Go figure.

[@michaeljordan6008]

And yet, he’s infinitely more successful than you and everyone in your family, combined.

[@franksinatracovers6280]

Underrated talent

[@CookieThug]

Canadians are super talented

[@KvnDWr]

deserves more views

[@leejones8582]

Great opening

[@albertrombone]

Leggendario

[@iHeartsNostalgiaPit]

3:40 well not quite, didn't he become the new announcer after Pardo passed? how had meadows not hosted yet? I mean even Tracy Morgan came back at least a couple of times after he left

[@shahemasoyan9129]

Why does Lorne always has wine in his hand in these kind of monologues?!

[@Humanoidfreak]

running joke.

[@indowneastmaine]

He’s the boss.

[@davidevans9716]

that suit :p

[@davidhutchinson7888]

I thought tracy morgan was kenan for a second.

[@CookieThug]

bruh, Lorne Michaels is always drinking

[@indowneastmaine]

Marcy enables him.

[@rhyancoleman6462]

1:35 Actually Dan Aykroyd didn't host until the Season 28 finale in 2003.

[@briarosey]

Yes but the episode John Goodman hosted in season 20 Aykroyd was in more of the show than Goodman because of schedule issues, so he was essentially de facto host.

[@onewiththeragingwind6730]

i thought this was the best monologue until i saw Rick Moranis....whats up with canadians man theryre funny

[@halloween2004]

Darrel hammond came back as announcer.

[@loughlin14]

This kinda felt like a performance of a song written by Babyface for the movie _Soul Food._ I mean before it came out in the fall of ‘97.

[@paytongarcia7188]

Rest in piece Normie you old chunk of coal

[@patrickmcmenamin9851]

Anyone know what the original song is?

[@indowneastmaine]

This is the original song.

[@zlinedavid]

Now I know what total bliss is like…..

[@JonasPolsky]

I wonder how that movie he was promoting did. "Austin Prowler" or something? 😏

[@jamesh6024]

Norm!

[@onewiththeragingwind6730]

he clearly lived and breathed austin...kinda scary

[@TheInkPitOx]

Came here from Even Stevens. I was 9 at the time

[@TheListenerCanon]

FYI, Mike Myers was wrong with one thing. Dan Ackroyd didn’t actually hosted until 2003 which was 6 years after this episode. However, he did unofficially hosted with John Goodman in 1995. Goodman took sole credit even though Ackroyd appeared in as much skits, even the monologue. So it’s forgivable on the writers or MM.

[@indowneastmaine]

6 years AFTER

[@TheListenerCanon]

@@indowneastmaine Fuck me. Thanks for the correction.

[@rhyancoleman6462]

The Season 28 finale

[@The_Skrub]

Holy Shit, is that Tracy Morgan?

[@indowneastmaine]

Um, yes.

Austin power🌸

THIS is Mike's crowning moment. Not Wayne's World Not Austin Powers not even Shrek THIS. 👏
