Open with Steven Bucky Butler walking down the steps and
taking home base.
STEVEN BUCKY BUTLER
Thanks! Thank you! I’ve always
wanted to be a part of Saturday Night Live and now I’m living it right now. Honestly, I always wanted a job as writer on Saturday Night Live, but hosting is cool, I guess. To be here right now is awesome and a dream come true. I would sing ‘When You Wish Upon A Star’, but NBC doesn’t have the cash to pay Disney for the rights to that song. Now, let me tell you a little about myself. I’m 26 years old. It is hard to believe that fact myself since I still sit and play with my action figures. I have Asperger syndrome which explains why I may appear to be an asshole sometimes and not know it. I love writing and creating characters. I have written and published a book called The Lost Worlds of Buckstevenson which hasn’t sold many copies, hint, hint. Making people laugh is always a personal mission of mine which Funny or Die says I’m 65% good at. I still can’t believe I’m a real life Uncle Buck, meaning I am the uncle to my two sister’s kids. What else about me? I took classes at Second City or as I call it clown college. I’m learning how to drive and thank God I haven’t run anyone over. I have a family that loves me and a wonderful dog named Woody. I almost had a show on Disney XD called Jeff’s Comic Shop, but they didn’t pick it up. But hey you can see the first episode on YouTube, hint hint. I have only made two TV appearances before SNL. Once on ABC and the other time on WGN. I love saying I’m one of WGN’s Chicago’s Very Own. I recently joined Twitter as Facebook is dying. Sorry if it sounds like I’m bragging, but honestly I see more negatives than positives about myself. So as my therapist tells me to do,
keep track of things you’re
grateful for. Right now I’m
grateful to be hosting Saturday
Night Live and to join a long list
of people who performed on this
very stage. I was actually shocked
to find out that these opening
monologues are written by the
writers and not the hosts
themselves. It makes sense. SNL
has the most talented writers
ever. Which as I said before I
would love a job writing for
Saturday Night Live. For now I’ll
just settle with hosting this
episode. But Lorne Micheals if
you’re listening, call me.
Lorne Michaels walks out on stage and Steven Bucky Butler
gets excited.
STEVEN BUCKY BUTLER
Oh man it’s Lorne Michaels. The
man who made all of this possible.
Mr. Michaels, can I have a writing
job after I’m done hosting?
LORNE MICHAELS
I read your book. You need to work
on your spelling.
STEVEN BUCKY BUTLER
Again I’m a writer not an editor.
So about the job?
LORNE MICHAELS
I’ll think about it. You seem like
a nice kid. You remind me of Chris
Farley. STEVEN BUCKY BUTLER
You wouldn’t be the first person
who’s told me that. Again the job?
LORNE MICHAELS
Just host the show, Bucky.
Lorne Michaels exits the stage and Steven Bucky Butler faces
the audience again.
STEVEN BUCKY BUTLER
That wasn’t a no! Anyway we have a
great show tonight. Metallica is here. We’ll be
right back.
