The Hippo - SNL

>>> GUYS, CAN I GET MY CAST FOR A SECOND? SO I JUST GOT OFF THE PHONE WITH THE STUDIO. >> OH, NO. GOD, WAS IT ABOUT THAT POTENTIAL WRITER'S STRIKE. >> NO. WORSE. THE GENIUSES AT THE STUDIO ARE NO LONGER INTERESTED IN A GUT-WRENCHING DRAMA ABOUT OBESITY, SO THEY'RE SHUTTING THE FILM DOWN. THAT'S A WRAP ON THE HIPPO. I KNOW HOW MUCH WORK YOU ALL DID TO WORK ON YOUR ROLES. >> I SHADOWED A THERAPIST FOR TWO WEEKS TO GET INTO CHARACTER, BLAKE. >> AND JONAS GREW A BEARD, WHICH I KNEW HE HATES. >> I DO HATE IT. >> AND FOR HIS ROLE, KEITH GAINED 450 POUNDS IN SIX MONTHS. >> TO BE CLEAR, THE MOVIE IS OFFICIALLY DEAD AS IN WE'RE NOT MAKING IT? >> NO. THE HIPPO WILL NEVER SEE THE LIGHT OF DAY. >> HUH, THAT IS -- THAT'S ROUGH TO HEAR. >> WAIT. SO IF WE'RE NOT MAKING THE MOVIE, THAT MEANS I DYED MY HAIR BROWN FOR NOTHING? >> HEY, HEY, IT'S FINE. WE'RE ALL UPSET. KEITH, YOU LOOK LIKE THIS IS HITTING YOU PRETTY HOARD TOO, BUDDY. >> YEAH. I GOT TO SAY, THIS IS REALLY UNFORTUNATE FOR ME PERSONALLY. >> YEAH, FOR ALL OF US. WE ALL SACRIFICED FOR THIS FILM. I SHADOWED THAT THERAPIST ON MY OWN TIME. I CAN'T GET THOSE TWO WEEKS BACK. >> AND I GAINED 450 POUNDS IN SIX MONTHS. THAT'S A LIFESTYLE CHANGE. I HAVE SOMETHING CALLED TRIABETES NOW. IT'S THE ONE AFTER DIABETES. >> AND I HAVE THIS GOD DAMN BEARD. SORRY. IT'S ITCHY, AND GROWING IT WAS A HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE. >> I CAN RELATE BECAUSE GAINING 450 POUNDS IN SIX MONTHS ALSO WAS NOT FUN. I HAD TO EAT SOMETHING CALLED GRISTLE LOAF. DOES ANYONE KNOW ABOUT THIS? IT'S A COMPRESSED BEEF FAT AND CORN SIR UP. >> I KNOW EXACTLY HOW YOU FEEL, KEITH. MY HAIR IS SO BRITTLE FROM THE BROWN DYE. >> WELL, THIS IS GRISTLE LOAF BY THE WAY. IT'S WHAT THEY FEED SICK ELEPHANTS AT THE ZOO TO GET THEM BACK TO THEIR NORMAL WEIGHT. ATE NINE OF THESE A DAY BECAUSE I THOUGHT I WOULD WIN THE OSCAR. >> AND YOU WOULD HAVE. DAMN IT. I SHOULD HAVE SEEN THIS COMING. THE STUDIO WAS FIGHTING ME FROM DAY ONE. SHAINA, DID YOU KNOW THEY WANTED YOUR PART TO BE PLAYED BY A WHITE WOMAN? >> THE SAD THING IS I'M NOT SURPRISED. >> AND JONAS, THEY WANTED TO CUT YOU OUT OF ACT THREE. >> AND THEN THERE WOULD BE NO RESOLUTION TO THE CUSTODY STORY LINE? THEY ARE SO AFRAID OF ORIGINAL IDEAS. >> AND GET THIS, INSTEAD OF GAINING 450 POUNDS IN SIX MONTHS, THEY WANTED KEITH TO WEAR A FAT SUIT. >> IS THAT -- WAS THAT AN OPTION? >> YEAH. BUT I TOLD THEM, I SAID, KEITH IS A METHOD ACTOR. HE'S NOT GOING TO WEAR A FAT SUIT. >> I REALLY KIND OF WISH YOU HAD BROUGHT ME INTO THAT CONVERSATION. >> OH, REALLY? THAT'S MY BAD, MAN. I'M SORRY. GUYS, THIS WHOLE THING IS MY BAD. BUT LOOK, AT LEAST YOU GUYS ARE FREE. YOU OKAY? AT LEAST YOU GUYS ARE FREE TO DO OTHER PROJECTS, RIGHT? LIKE KEITH, YOU HAD AN OFFER FOR A MARVEL MOVIE, RIGHT? >> I THINK THAT SHIP HAS SAILED. I'M NOT EXACTLY IN X-MEN SHAPE RIGHT NOW. >> WELL, SOMETHING ELSE WILL COME ALONG. WELL, I DO THIS ON ALL MY FILMS, GUYS. ON OUR LAST DAY OF SET, WE ALL SAY ONE THING THIS EXPERIENCE GAVE US. SO I'LL GO FIRST. I HAVE 28 NEW FRIENDS. >> I HAVE ONE HELL OF A STORY. >> I HAVE A DEEPER RESPECT FOR OUR CRAFT. >> SAME. >> ALL RIGHT. YOUR TURN, KEITH. I HAVE -- >> NOT SEEN MY PENIS IN FOUR MONTHS. >> KEITH, YOU KNOW WHAT? MAKE THAT 29 NEW FRIENDS FOR ME. >> I WASN'T INCLUDED IN YOUR ORIGINAL FRIEND COUNT? >> HEY, DID THE STUDIO SAY WHY THEY SHUT THE MOVIE DOWN? OH, YOU'LL LOVE THIS. THEY SAID THE SCRIPT IS ALMOST WORD FOR WORD THE SAME AS THAT BRENDAN FRASER MOVIE, THE WHALE. >> I SAW IT. BRENDAN FRASER IS GOING TO WIN AN OSCAR. >> OH, GOOD FOR HIM.
