DOCUMENTARY ABOUT ME, SIX. THAT'S ALMOST TEN.
AND NOT ONE OF THEM SAID A NICE THING ABOUT ME.

THINK OF ONE NICE THING TO SAY ABOUT THE DEVIL?
[ LAUGHTER ] I CAN.
NICE HORNS. GIVES GOOD ADVICE.
>> SO WHY DO YOU THINK PEOPLE ARE MAKING THESE LIES UP ABOUT
YOU? >> FOR MONEY, OBVIOUSLY.

TAKE ADVANTAGE OF ME. >> WELL, IF YOU'RE SO RICH, WHY
DID IT TAKE SO LONG TO PAY 160,000 YOU OWE BACK IN CHILD
SUPPORT? ♪ DAMN, THAT'S A GOOD QUESTION I
WASN'T EXPECTING THAT ♪ ♪ NOW I HAVE TO SWITCH
DIRECTIONS AND GET SOME SYMPATHY BACK ♪

YOU SOLD MILLIONS OF RECORDS AND MADE MILLIONS OF DOLLARS.
>> MORE THAN MILLIONS, THOUSANDS.
>> MILLIONS IS MORE THAN THOUSANDS, ROBERT.
>> OKAY, MY BAD. >> SO WHAT HAPPENED TO ALL THE
MONEY? >> I DON'T KNOW.
ASK MY -- WHO'S THE GUY YOU PAY TO WATCH ALL YOUR MONEY?
IT STARTS WITH A Q. >> YOUR ACCOUNTANT?
>> NO, MY COUSIN REGGIE, THAT'S IT.
YOU KNOW WHAT, THIS IS ALL GREAT STUFF.
BUT MAYBE WE SHOULD SAVE SOME OF IT FOR THE INTERVIEW.
>> WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT? THIS IS THE INTERVIEW.
>> FOR REAL? THEN WHERE ARE THE CAMERAS.
>> THERE'S LITERALLY ONE RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOU.
>> YOU ALL JUST KEEP YOUR CAMERA OUT IN THE OPEN LIKE THAT?
Y'ALL SOME FREAKS? >> JUST TELL ME WHY ALL THOSE
WOMEN WOULD SAY THE SAME THINGS ABOUT YOU IF THEY WEREN'T TRUE?
>> YOU CAN START A RUMOR ABOUT ANY CELEBRITY JUST LIKE THAT.
ALL YOU GOT TO DO IS PUSH A BUTTON ON YOUR PHONE AND SAY R.
KELLY DID THIS TO ME. AND THEN ATTACH A VIDEO OF ME
DOING THAT THING, AND PEOPLE WILL BELIEVE YOU.
IT'S SCARY. [ LAUGHTER ]
>> I REALLY WANT TO LAUGH RIGHT NOW.
BUT I CAN'T TELL IF THIS INTERVIEW IS A PRANK ON YOU OR A
PRANK ON ME. ♪ THIS INTERVIEW IS GOING
GREAT ♪ ♪ OPRAH'S FRIEND THINKS I'M
INNOCENT ♪ >> ROBERT.

SATURDAY NIGHT
Not even as funny as the real thing https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pafJHx-o21k
It's one of those cases where no matter how hard you try, you can't make it look crazier than the real thing. Check out the actual interview if you haven't already, it's pretty messed up...
mirror
He gave us so many clues!
Can someone hook it up with the mirror?
Guess I'm the only person who thought this was funny.
SNL has chops lately. Between this skit:
https://youtu.be/rImxuuD_kwM
and the baking championship one:
https://youtu.be/CniGk7Dyp1c
I've really been enjoying this season.
Boring.
Not as funny as the original interview, but good.
