Put a cap on that bong or I'll get Red Adair to do it for you! Okay, what's everybody got? Tina Fey: Not much. Jimmy Fallon: I got a sketch about a drunk Irishman. Lorne Michaels: Nah. Let's not choke our "golden goose" this week. What else? Tracy Morgan: I got a new Brian Fellows idea. Lorne Michaels: (to Tina Fey) Is it funny? Tina Fey: No. But, if NBC will drop the cash to let us use the song "The Lion Sleeps Tonight" in the sketch, we can fake it. Lorne Michaels: Good. Let's put that in the keeper pile.

(to Seth) Seth, what did I tell you about a golfer that slices. Seth Meyers: (under his breath) That he should GO with it. Lorne Michaels: Exactly.

Have you lost faith in me? Lorne Michaels: Well, it wouldn't be the first time now would it. Maya Rudolph: Lorne, that's mean. Lorne Michaels: What do you care, Maya? If I fire Parnell again, I'm just going to find someone else to do Bush. It's not like your going to get out of wearing black face make-up when you do Condeleeza Rice.
