Lorne Michaels: (surprised by the roar) Wow, thank you very much. Well, for the past 5 years or so now, Saturday Night Live has been honored and tributed through various "Fansites" on the Internet.

Fades back in to Lorne) Lorne Michaels: We here at SNL find it deeply touching and feel that is a strong reminder of what an institution this television program has become. (audience swells up again with hoots, hollers and even a bigger resounding applause...lasting again for a few good moments) Lorne Michaels: (shaking his head in agreement as well as the cast applauding with the audience) That is why tonight we have invited the webmasters from the top five visited sites as per our search & studies through Yahoo! to the SNL stage to open tonight's show. Gentlemen? (Shot to stage left) (Audience builds up once again as LeBaron, Navaroli, Bradley, McCormick and Lonergan make their way to the set. The audience swells with applause as the five guys take a bow and are all in awe at the applause they receive.) Lorne Michaels: Gentlemen, welcome. It's a pleasure to have you all here tonight. But, there is still one thing left to say before we start the show. [pause] Don't you guy's have lives? (Audience laughs uproariously) Lorne Michaels: I mean, c'mon, it's just a TV show...and that's coming from me, the guy who created it!!!

(Again, five quick shots of distraught faces) Lorne Michaels: Which one of you is the oldest? (Shot of all as LeBaron [23] raises his hand; Lonergan [28] looks away and whistles nervously) (Audience laughs) (Lorne rolls his eyes) Lorne Michaels: I won't even attempt to ask you that question.

Tracy Morgan: Ahh-ha-ha! Yo, that is funny! You guys really do that? (Shot to guys all together giving slight head nods and raised eyebrows) Tracy Morgan: OK, let me ask you this...do any of you even smoke weed? (Guys all shake their heads no, except for LeBaron who just gets a mild smirk on his face) (Audience laughs) (Cut to Fred) Fred Armisen: Hell, me and Forte over here haven't even been on the show an entire season..and already we are sick of the sites about us AND the show! (Cut to final shot of sad faces on the guys) (Audience "Aww's" once again and then all is quiet) Fred Armisen: (as Fericito) We're all just keeeeeddding!!!
