IT I JUST JUMPED IN I WAS LIKE, ALL RIGHT, LET'S
FIND THIS GUY. LET'S FIND THE VOICE >> Jimmy: HOW DID YOU FIND
BIDEN? DID YOU HAVE ONE >> YOU KNOW, HE'S A MIXTURE OF
A FEW DIFFERENT IMPRESSIONS. I DID HAVE AN OWEN WILSON. BIDEN HAS THIS LIKE -- YOU KNOW
IN OWEN WILSON MOVIES HE'S ALWAYS GIVING A PUMP-UP SPEECH HALFWAY THROUGH TO THE OTHER
CHARACTER. LIKE, "I SAW UP THERE, YOU'RE SO GREAT
[ LIGHT LAUGHTER ] I THOUGHT, WOW, I COULD DO THAT
WE'RE GOING TO DO THAT WE'RE GOING TO GET EVERYBODY TOGETHER
WE'RE GOING TO MOVE FORWARD. GOOD JOBS. SO, HE HAS THAT PUMP UP GUY.
>> Jimmy: YEAH >> AND THEN HE DOES LIKE -- AND THEN HE'S GOT NICOLAS CAGE
VIBES SOMETIMES LIKE HE'S REALLY PROUD OF HIMSELF. YOU KNOW, NICOLAS CAGE HAS THAT
KIND OF VOICE. "YOU KNOW, I AM PROUD OF BUILD BACK BETTER, I JUST WANT TO
MAKE SIGNATURE POLICIES. AND THIS IS GOING TO BE GOOD FOR EVERYBODY.
IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT, THAT'S TOO TOUGH. [ LIGHT LAUGHTER ]
>> Jimmy: WOW. >> "WE'VE GOT TO PROTECT OUR BILL OF RIGHTS, STEAL THE BILL
OF RIGHTS. [ LAUGHTER ] AND THEN YOU FINISH IT OFF WITH
THAT -- IRASCIBLE BIDEN WHO'S LIKE, YOU KNOW, A VOTER IS LIKE, YOU'RE TAKING MY GUNS
AWAY AND HE'S LIKE, "NOBODY SAID I WAS TAKING YOUR GUNS AWAY.
[ LAUGHTER ] I NEVER SAID THAT. I NEVER SAID I WAS GOING TO DO
THAT." AND YOU JUST MIX IT ALL TOGETHER
IT'S NOT ABOUT YESTERDAY IT'S ABOUT TODAY MOVING FORWARD, BRING PEOPLE
TOGETHER, GOOD UNION JOBS, EMISSIONS, LOWER EMISSIONS, WE'RE GOING TO BE COMPETITIVE,
COMPETITIVE WITH EVERYBODY." [ LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE >> Jimmy: THAT'S RIGHT
THAT'S FANTASTIC BUDDY >> THAT'S THREE GUYS, YOU KNOW >> Jimmy: THAT'S FANTASTIC
WAS IT ALWAYS YOUR GOAL TO BE ON "SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE" >> I ALWAYS WANTED TO DO IT.
I WOULD STAY UP LATE, SORT OF SNEAK SOME VIEWINGS OF IT, EVEN THOUGH WE HAD CHURCH IN THE
MORNING. I WOULD BE LIKE, YEAH, I'M OLD ENOUGH TO WATCH THIS CONTENT
[ LIGHT LAUGHTER ] >> Jimmy: YOU BROUGHT ME SOMETHING THAT YOU HAVE HANGING
IN YOUR OFFICE >> YEAH, SO MY BROTHER CAME AND VISITED "SNL."
I WAS TOO YOUNG TO COME WITH HIM, BUT HE GOT AN NBC PAGE TO HAND HIM A SHEET OF PAPER.
THEY DIDN'T GET INTO THE SHOW. THEY WERE IN THE STAND BY LINE THEY DIDN'T MAKE IT.
SO, THEY JUST HARASSED CAST MEMBERS ON THEIR WAY HOME. THEY GOT ME THIS
IT'S SIGNED BY FRED ARMISEN, AND BILL HADER, AND JASON SUDEIKIS
AND -- FRED HERE SAYS, HI AUSTIN -- KEEP WRITING - MY FAMILY CALLS ME AUSTIN.
STAY TOUGH FROM BILL HADER BEST OF LUCK FROM SCRIBBLE, SCRIBBLE, SCRIBBLE
I THINK THAT'S SUDEIKIS. >> Jimmy: YEAH, THIS IS AN NBC PAGE -

>> Jimmy: TELEPHONE MESSAGE. >> AND NOW THIS IS HANGING UP IN MY OFFICE AND I CAN JUST
TEXT FRED ARMISEN WHENEVER I -- I HAVE A VERY SPECIFIC "SNL", YOU KNOW, QUANDARY
LIKE IS IT NORMAL TO HAVE A TEXTING MARRIAGE ARGUMENT WHILE I'M IN FULL
LINDSEY GRAHAM MAKE-UP [ LIGHT LAUGHTER ] IT'S A NORMAL FEELING TO HAVE.
>> Jimmy: GOOD "SNL" QUESTIONS YOU HAVE I'VE GOT TO SAY, THE FIRST TIME
I THINK I SAW YOU, YOU DID AN IMPRESSION OF DONALD TRUMP, WHICH I THINK IS THE GREATEST
IMPRESSION OF DONALD TRUMP IT'S SUCH AN INTERESTING TAKE, AND YOU DID IT BEFORE ANYONE
WAS DOING THIS >> AH, THANK YOU >> Jimmy: AND I GO, WHAT IS
GOING ON HOW DID YOU FIGURE OUT YOU COULD DO THAT?
>> LET ME JUST SAY, THAT I LOVE THAT MY FATE IS BOUND TO THIS MAN.
YOU KNOW - I LOVE -- JUST ANY TIME HE DOES SOMETHING, A RELATIVE WILL BE
LIKE, WHAT DID YOU THINK OF THAT I'LL BE LIKE, WHAT A GUY
[ LAUGHTER ] >> Jimmy: I HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS GUY.
I'M DOING AN IMPRESSION OF THIS GUY. A LOT OF PEOPLE DO IT -- "THEY
DO THE HIGH VOICE -- YOU DO THE THING OR WHATEVER. >> THERE'S, LIKE, YOU KNOW,
HE'S BEEN AROUND FOR A LONG TIME SO, EVERYBODY HAS THEIR TAKE ON
HIM. BUT I -- MY PROUDEST MOMENT IS THAT HE CALLED ME OUT IN A
A SPEECH I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S A PROUD MOMENT TO BE MENTIONED IN
A TRUMP RALLY, BUT HE WAS JUST LIKE, YOU KNOW, YOU HAVE THAT STREAM OF CONSCIOUSNESS THING
WHERE HE BOUNCES AROUND TO A A BUNCH OF DIFFERENT TOPICS AT ONCE
HE WAS CALLING SOMEBODY IN WASHINGTON A LIAR. THEN HE WENT, "HE'S A LIAR, THE
LIAR, THE LIAR." JON LOVITZ JON LOVITZ
