“I was in the cast 12 years ago with Kristen Wiig, Bill Hader, Andy Samberg, Jason Sudeikis and Fred Armisen, so it was really fun to see Kristen host, then Bill, then Andy, then Fred, then Kristen again, then Bill again, then Jason,” Will said. “Seth Meyers, I mean he’s one of my best buds, but come on. He wasn’t really a sketch guy…But he hosted, right?”
Will then brought up the fact that John Mulaney has hosted the show four times, and he was only a writer.
“But hey, that’s okay! You know, I’m not bitter about it. I’m not,” Will said. “Saved the best for last right? Saved the best for way last.”
Kristen Wiig then made a very special appearance on stage, but Will wasn’t happy about her arrival.
“Hi Will, I am so excited you’re hosting,” Kristen said as Will responded, “Note a good time.”
As Kristen left the stage, Will decided to take a question from an audience member, who ended up being SNL creator and producer Lorne Michaels, who appeared alongside next week’s host Willem Dafoe.
“I’m so sorry, Will,” Lorne said. “There’s been a mistake.”
“Willem Dafoe?” Will responded. “You’re hosting next week!”
“I’m pretty sure it’s this week,” Willem said back.
“Oh my God, this is not happening,” Will said. “Wait, you texted me to come host, Lorne.”
“I texted Willem,” Lorne explained, “and you know, autocorrect.”
