(Fade in)

(Dan Aykroyd’s dressing room)

Tracy Morgan: Hey, Danny, you ready for the show, tonight?

Dan Aykroyd: Yeah, totally.

Tracy Morgan: Can I ask you something? I know you had a lot of recurring characters on this show. So, I wanted to know how to kill off your own recurring characters.

Dan Aykroyd: Well, Tracy, my advice is basically, you don’t want to do anything too extreme for your last show, because you can always bring back the character back when you host. Like tonight, I have a sketch with my Bob Dole impression. I also have a Blues Brothers piece.

Tracy Morgan: Right, so I shouldn’t kill off my characters?

Dan Aykroyd: No, not like that, kill off one of your recurring characters. Have fun with it!

Tracy Morgan: Cool, thanks bro!

(Exit Tracy Morgan)

(Dan pulls out a walky-talky)

Dan Aykroyd: Lorne, the stage is set…go ahead with ‘Operation: Tracy’s last show”.

(Fade out)

(Fade into Tracy’s dressing room)

(Tracy is talking to Tim Meadows)

Tracy Morgan: Yo, Timmy!

Tim Meadows: Yo, Tracy!

Tracy Morgan: Timmy, it’s my last show tonight. I want to ask your advice.

Tim Meadows: Sure, go ahead.

Tracy Morgan: How do I kill off a recurring character?

Tim Meadows: I killed off my only recurring character by making a movie out of the character.

Tracy Morgan: I don’t think Lorne wants to make a movie out of me talking to the host between sketches and telling him to get me a soda, (yells into the phone) BITCH!

(Enter Lorne Michaels)

Lorne Michaels: Tracy, I need you for the cold open.

Tracy Morgan: That’s great, Lorne. Guess who I’m talking to? Tim Meadows!

Lorne Michaels: Who the hell is that? Never mind, I need Brian Fellows!

Tracy Morgan: Okay, gimme a minute. (To Tim Meadows) Timmy, I gotta go!

(Tracy turns off his phone)

(Action flashes to the Brian Fellow’s Set in the studio)

Lorne Michaels: Oh Brian Fellows! Over here!

(Enter Tracy Morgan as Brian Fellows)

Brian Fellow: I’m Brian Fellows!

Lorne Michaels: I understand, I want you to meet someone…Toonces, the driving cat!

(The Toonces puppet turns to the camera)

Brian Fellow: Hello, Toonces, I’m Brian Fellows! You’re a cat that can drive a car. That sounds crazy!

Lorne Michaels: Brian, how about you and Toonces go for a drive?

Brian Fellow: That’s sounds crazy! Let’s do it!

(Brian Fellows and Toonces start to exit)

Lorne Michaels: Oh, Brian Fellows, take Mr. Peepers with you, too!

(Enter a scientist holding Mr. Peepers)

(The Scientist gives Mr. Peepers to Brian Fellows)

Brian Fellow: He’s half man, half monkey…that’s crazy!

(Exit Brian Fellows, Mr. Peepers and Toonces)

(Action flashes to a car with Toonces driving, with Brian Fellows and Mr. Peepers riding in the car)

Mr. Peepers, do want to listen to the radio?

Mr. Peepers: Baa!

Brian Fellow: Okay, that’s a yes!

(Brian tunes the radio)

Toonces, watch out for that cliff!

Mr. Peepers: Baa! Baa!

(Clip to a car falling off a cliff)

(Cut to the bottom of the rubble)

Brian Fellow: Toonces, we’re dead, or something. That’s crazy!

Mr. Peepers: Baa! Baa!

Brian Fellow: I’m Brian Fellows! Live from New York, it’s Saturday night!
