Colman Domingo Monologue - SNL

0:01 -Ladies and gentlemen, Colman Domingo.

0:19 Cheers and applause] -Whoo!

0:25 Thank you, thank you, thank you very much.

0:28 I am so excited to be here hosting "Saturday Night Live."

0:31 Now, I have been an actor since the '90s,

0:35 so you may be sitting here thinking,

0:37 "Where do I know him from?"

0:39 And it's probably because

0:40 I've been in a lot of different things.

0:42 You know, "Fear the Walking Dead,"

0:43 "Four Seasons," "Lincoln," "Sing Sing."

0:46 I was Carly in "iCarly."[ Laughter]

0:50 I was inside C-3PO's suit in "Star Wars."

0:54 And I am also your uncle.

0:56 See, here's me at your cousin's wedding in 1994.

1:00 Laughter] The point is, I'm practically in everything,

1:04 like raisins at a Caucasian cookout.

1:08 Laughter] And I love how I can

1:12 always guess what people know me from.

1:14 You know, if you're a Latin bro, I'm like,

1:16 "Oh, 'Fear the Walking Dead.'"

1:19 But if it's a girl under 20

1:21 or a creepy dude over 30, that's "Euphoria."[ Laughter]

1:28 So, sure, I'm an actor,

1:30 but what I'm most known for is when you come to my house,

1:34 the vibes are spectacular.

1:38 Cheers and applause] And tonight, I'm going to make

1:43 you feel like you're at my house.

1:45 So, let's get a vibe going.

1:47 Soft jazz playing] Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

1:51 Music.

1:51 I said vibe, and that just happened.

1:55 How about the lights?

1:56 Let's get some lighting

1:57 that's extremely flattering for people of color.

2:03 Oh-oh!

2:04 Much better.

2:06 Leon and I look great.

2:08 Right, Leon?

2:10 Laughter] Now for the camera.

2:13 Can I get a sexy, slow push on this?

2:17 Also, I'm 56, so boom the hell up.

2:21 There it is!

2:22 Oh!

2:24 Cheers and applause] Look how adorable I am now.

2:29 My word.

2:31 And this works for everybody.

2:33 Jeremy, get out here.

2:35 -Hi.

2:36 Cheers and applause] -Now, Jeremy, look into that camera.

2:41 -Okay.

2:44 Laughter] -He looks fine.

2:46 No offense, but boom up.

2:51 Cheers and applause] Oh, whoa!

2:54 Yeah!

2:55 -Hey.

2:56 -It almost worked.

2:59 Well, the vibe is getting really good, really good.

3:03 But is it sexy enough?

3:06 Nowadays...

3:09 So let's see how the vibe is working for our guests.

3:13 Oh!

3:13 Hey, ma'am, what brings you here tonight?

3:20 -Uh, I got tickets from someone who works here.

3:24 -Oh.

3:25 Inside connection.

3:26 That's hot.

3:29 I like the vibe.

3:30 Was it someone in the cast?

3:32 -No, it was a writer.

3:35 -Don't tell people that.

3:38 Wow!

3:38 The vibes down here are on point.

3:42 But looks like I made them too good

3:44 because those people are making out.

3:49 Ooh.

3:49 They're straight.

3:52 You don't see that every day.

3:57 Well, everybody, I think we kind of did it.

4:00 I think we nailed the vibe.

4:02 So, let's wrap this up, baby.

4:04 At my house, I always end the party the same way,

4:07 by telling everybody to get the hell out

4:09 so I can take a fiber pill and go to bed.

4:13 But not tonight, babies, 'cause we got a show to do.

4:16 So, boom up.

4:17 We've got a great show for you tonight.

4:20 Anitta's here, so stick around and we'll be right back.
