Will Ferrell’s ‘SNL’ Monologue Crashed by Chad Smith

Chad Smith threw Studio 8H for a spin when he took the “Saturday Night Live” stage, impersonating this week’s host Will Ferrell.

“I’m thrilled to be back hosting ‘Saturday Night Live,’” stated the Red Hot Chili Peppers drummer, whose resemblance to Ferrell has been joked about for many years. “I was a cast member here for seven years. And now I’m hosting for the sixth time!”

After a minute, Ferrell rushed on stage and requested, “What the hell do you think you’re doing? You’re not the host. I am!” Ferrell continued, “What the hell is wrong with you? He pushed me down backstage. And I fell, hard. Lorne had to give me mouth-to-mouth. Seriously, what are you even doing here?”

After Ferrell lastly banished Smith from the stage, he took a query from the viewers, calling on “the cute one” — musical visitor Paul McCartney.

“I have a question. What do you think you’re doing, Chad?” the Beatle requested Ferrell, who replied: “Look, I understand your confusion. Me and Chad do look a lot alike. But I’m Will. I’m hosting tonight.”

McCartney: “Nice try, Chad. Get back. Get back behind the drums where you belong.”

Ferrell then started naming a number of the nice songs written by McCartney through the years, drawing out the bit by itemizing 17 Beatles, Wings and McCartney hits. “But people often forget there’s some great songs you didn’t write,” Ferrell continued. “The alphabet song. ‘Timber’ featuring Pitbull. All the Smash Mouth stuff.”

McCartney’s solely rebuttal: “Get your ass behind the drums, Chad.”
