STEVEN BUCKY BUTLER SNL HOST ROUND TWO (iO Theater Class Project)

INT. SNL STUDIO-NIGHT 

STEVEN BUCKY BUTLER walks out and waves to the crowd. 

STEVEN BUCKY BUTLER 
Oh wow, my name is Steven Bucky Butler and I can’t believe I’m hosting Saturday Night Live for a second time. It feels great to be back. My YouTube channel, Bucky91 Films, currently has 399 subscribers, and maybe one of you in the crowd could become my 400th subscriber on YouTube. Yes, I am just as shocked as you are that I just reached a thousand followers on BlueSky. Now then, two things I love are being creative and funny. Both of which are really hard things to do. But it’s still quite an honor to host SNL for a second time because I was shocked that they even let me do this once before. I don’t want to disappoint you Lorne. I had many people compare me to Chris Farley or Jack Black. It’s flattering to be compared to my heroes, but I rather be the first Bucky Butler than the next Chris Farley or Jack Black. Fun fact, my parents went to college with Chris Farley. They found him annoying. Yet, their son is basically Farley’s reincarnation. Like a lot of former and hopefully current SNL talent, I studied and performed at The Second City theater in Chicago. I wasn’t ready for The Annoyance yet. I guess I just wasn’t annoying enough, or that’s what I’ve been told. Now I would like to treat you all with a little something. 

JEREMY CULHANE and CHLOE FINEMAN enter. 

JEREMY 
Um, Mr. Butler. We lost your dog. 

CHLOE 
We don’t know where Henry went. 

Steven falls to his knees. 

STEVEN BUCKY BUTLER 
Okay, I have to get two things straight with you. Henry is my dog nephew and not my dog. And what do you mean you lost Henry? You owe me and the audience a cute puppy. Also, if my sister finds out you lost her dog she will kill me. 

CHLOE 
We’re sorry Bucky, but we... 

LORNE MICHAELS walks out petting HENRY DOG. 

LORNE 
Great news, Henry is joining the writing staff at SNL. He’s just as anxious and cute as any writer on staff. He’s perfect. And I can pay him in cheese. 

Steven hands Henry as treat. Steven, Jeremy, Chloe, and Lorne start to dance. 

STEVEN BUCKY BUTLER 
Well, in the words of David Bowie, let’s dance. We have a great show for your tonight. Metallica is here. Let’s have some fun and get some laughs. Maybe even another Emmy or two.
