[ cheers and applause she is a saturday night live comedic legend and also a talented actress and musician. Her holiday album, sugar and booze, is available now here to chat and perform for us, ana gasteyer is back, you guys [ cheers and applause before we get to our fantastic guests, President Trump held a deranged rally as he became the third president in history to be impeached and now republicans are threatening to rig the senate trial in trumps favor. For more on this, its time for a closer look. [ cheers and applause seth President Trump is now one of only three president s to be impeached and his impeachment is not some sort of misuse of congressional powers its exactly what the framers had in mind when they wrote the impeachment clause into the constitution in fact, as democrats wrote in their 658page report, detailing the evidence against trump, the president betrayed the nation by abusing his high office to enlist a foreign power in corrupting democratic elections. President trump has realized the framers worst nightmare. And i think thats true both in the metaphorical sense and also literally. Back in those days, people would have nightmares about stuff like demons, vampires or rubella and trump looks like all three [ light laughter ] he looks like a stowaway who spent three months hiding in a crate in the bowel of a ship who got bit by a plague rat and a dracula. [ laughter ] and if youre wondering if youre wondering if trump was watching yesterday as he became the third president ever in history to be impeached, gop senator Lindsey Graham said in a press conference, hed been in touch with trump throughout the day. I talked to him today i said, how are you doing . He said, well, im being impeached, other than that im doing okay. Seth so not okay then. [ laughter ] thats like when you facetime your grandpa and before you can get a word in, he bitches about, like, 14 things. How are you well, you know, my back is killing me and i have sciatica, and i need my inflatable doughnut, but i lost it and cant find my hat, but you know me. I dont complain. [ light laughter ] and republicans have insisted that trump is weathering the storm and pushing forward like gop minority leader Kevin Mccarthy who said yesterday that he met with trump and praised the president s demeanor i was with him just yesterday down in the white house. Anybody else, this would be traumatic for them ive never seen a man so strong. Seth youve never seen a man so strong . Have you ever watched a movie with the rock in it because if you replace the rock with trump, theyd have to rename the movies, the slow and the furious. [ light laughter ] so, the republicans say trump is Holding Strong in that case, lets see what the president of the United States was talking about at his rally in michigan last night at roughly the same moment he was becoming only the third person in history to be impeached the rally was billed as a Merry Christmas rally. And in the spirit of this season, trump went through a list of grievances and insults so long, cnn actually had to tally up a list of everyone and everything he attacked remember, this is what the president was talking about as history was being made in congress at the moment that the president was being impeached, he was holding a Merry Christmas rally in michigan. A state that he is going to need to win if he wants to be reelected the rally was one of his longest ever and it was also one of his angriest this is a list of just about everyone and everything that he attacked during his twohour speech it includes his usual targets like democrats and the media, but also Event Security for being too polite to a protester. And in an odd turn, during what is arguably the most consequential moment of his presidency, the president criticized dishwashers [ light laughter ] seth you know, christmas stuff. Thats right the president attacked security guards, democrats, the media and dishwashers. Normally when someone rambles that long you have to take away their keys now, were going to play the dishwasher rant for you, but i also want to show you cnn anchor Brianna Keilars reaction when they cut back to her after the clip because i feel like her face really captures how all of us are feeling dishwashers, the dishwasher, right . You press it remember the dishwasher, you press it, boom, thered be like an explosion five minutes later, you open it up, the steam pours out, the dishes now you press it twelve times. Women tell me, again you know they give you four drops of water and there in places where theres so much water they dont know what to do with it. [ laughter ] seth yeah. Thats how thats how i feel, too that is [ applause ] thats the face you make at a dinner party when someone tells you an insane story that lets you know theyre a weirdo. Call me crazy, but lately ive been enjoying the cosby show more. [ laughter ] also, lets assess Donald Trumps understanding of dishwashers. I mean, he clearly has no idea how they work. There would be an explosion and steam would pour out sounds like hes talking about a baking soda volcano. He has never, clearly never washed a dish in his life. Also i like how he says, women tell me. They probably tell you that to get away from you. You want to see a solid gold apartment . Um, id love to, but my dishwasher exploded . [ laughter ] so i got to go. [ cheers and applause but probably my favorite moment came right before that dishwasher rant when trump was, again, rambling about light bulbs, garbage dumps, sinks and showers for some reason. And even his own fawning admirers were just staring at him in silence when a light bulb is out, you got to bring it to a dump, so lets say over here in battle creek wheres your nearest dump . Okay thats what . A couple hundred miles away. So every time you lose drive a couple of hundred miles i said, how many people do that . Nobody what do they do . They throw it in the garbage but, you know what it is, cause its all gas its much more expensive four, five, times more and i came into office, i did a lot of this. Sinks, showers, all of this stuff. I did a lot of it. No water comes out you have areas where theres so much water, you dont know what to do with it, you turn on the shower, youre not allowed to have any water anymore seth when youre donald trump and you lose trump supporters, you know youre way out in left field. [ laughter ] i mean, that the is truly one of the strangest things ive ever seen thousands of people packed cheek to cheek in an arena staring silently at a lunatic just rambling about sinks and showers. A lunatic who they support that would be like riding on the subway with a crazy guy ranting and raving about how a roach stole his cigarette and then realizing, oh no, i have that guys name on my hat. [ laughter ] but eventually, the crowd did get involved in the dumbest way possible when trump went on yet another rant about how people supposedly have to flush toilets ten times now because of environmental regulations and the crowd shouted out some of the words. Sinks right . Showers, and what goes with a sink and a shower . [ yelling ten times, right ten times, but not me. Of course, not me. But you, him seth an actual crowd of adults yelled out the word, toilets. [ light laughter ] like kindergartners completing a nursery rhyme. They sound like the audience yelling out the answer on family feud. Top five answers on the board, name something more important than impeachment show me toilets. [ ring ] [ light laughter ] [ applause ] trump was so desperate, he was so desperate and insecure about being impeached he actually tried to deny it and told his crowd it wasnt really happening. By the way, it doesnt really feel like were being impeached. [ laughter ] seth yeah, were not you are. [ laughter ] in terms of getting impeached, the rest of us did great yesterday. [ light laughter ] also i love how when its impeachment, hes like were all getting impeached but when its about toilets, hes like, you people probably take giant ten flushers not me. Then trump ripped off an angry tirade where he insisted that democrats who won the 2018 midterms and got more votes in the 2016 election were trying to nullify his victory and lied about his sagging poll numbers after three years of sinister witch hunts, hoaxes, scams, tonight the House Democrats are trying to nullify the ballots of tens of millions of patriotic americans. [ booing ] with todays illegal, unconstitutional, and partisan impeachment [ booing ] the donothing democrats, and they are donothing. All they want to do is focus on this what they could be doing are declaring their deep hatred and disdain for the American Voter this lawless partisan impeachment is a political suicide march for the democrat party. Have you seen my polls in the last four weeks . Seth have you . Because a fox news poll found that 50 of people wanted you impeached and removed from office and thats a fox news poll trumps Favorite Channel theres no way trump wasnt watching when they showed that poll his aides probably had to tape over his tv to make it look like the poll said 50 think President Trump is a big, strong, tough boy and we love him so much. [ light laughter ] and now now in the face of that reality, both fox news and the Republican Party are doing everything they can to protect trump. And that includes rigging the Senate Impeachment trial to kill it as quickly as possible. Now, impeachment is a huge Historical Marker that will condemn trumps name in history forever. But removing him is going to be a lot harder to get rid of trump were going to have to flush ten times right . Ten times. [ laughter ] seth this has been a closer look.

Fred good, thank you seth and you youre a gift in the holiday season, having you here is a gift because you are a renaissance man, fred. I hope you dont mind me saying that fred no, i dont mind. Seth okay. [ light laughter ] and you just know so much about everything you know so much about music, so much about literature, so much about films. A cinephile. Would it be fair to call you a cinephile . Fred very fair, yes. Seth one thing is, you are also an art connoisseur. Fred i am. Seth you were telling me recently that you have almost an art historians knowledge of every painting ever painted. Fred not almost. I mean, exactly that yeah every painting [ light laughter ] seth exactly every one fred exactly every one, yes. Seth this isnt just something, and again, no judgment, this isnt just something you made up to impress me and youre not putting me in an awkward situation now where im going to ask you to describe a painting and youre going to just make it up off the top of your head. Fred no, no, no. Of course not. Seth you wouldnt do that to me on our last show before christmas. Fred no, of course not [ light laughter ] i would not do that to you seth okay. [ light laughter ] then its time once again for our new segment, fred armisen art aficionado. [ cheers and applause fred, this is Norman Rockwells 1956 painting the discovery. Fred, tell us about this painting fred a fascinating painting. This is, first of all, mr. Rockwells first painting. And he painted it at a very young age. He was 1 years old seth he was 1 year in 1956, Norman Rockwell was 1 years old. Fred thats when they, sort of, you know, gave it a title, and they put it up in a gallery, but he had painted it much earlier. Seth oh, i see fred as a baby he discovered it as an adult, like, oh my god, i think i painted this when i was 1. [ laughter ] so when he was a baby, what they used to do in those days, is they used to just give babies, like, you know, tools and things like, heres a wrench. Youre a mechanic. Heres a ruler youre a teacher so they give him a paint brush seth so, im sorry, like, as means of like an Aptitude Test fred yes seth okay. Fred those were just the days and they gave him a paint brush and canvas and he whipped this up in, i dont know, 20 minutes or something [ laughter ] seth its hyper realistic for a 1yearold fred yeah, but seth i think you said 1 years old. Is that how you do it . Fred well, he was 1 years old. Seth so thats interesting i would say 1yearold yeah, but with months and with babies ages its a plural, because its the continuation of the year before. So its not 1 year he didnt he had completed that one year. So he was 1 years. Seth okay. I feel like were away from art. [ laughter ] fred yeah, but he would be then in his second year. So 1 years old 2 years old. Seth okay. Gotcha because hes, like, 1. 2 years. Yeah, okay fred exactly yes. Thank you. So, he painted this. He, did it really quickly and then the doctor told him, he was like, you know youre 1 years old. [ laughter ] and so the babys expression at the surprise of that he painted onto the face of the boy seth oh. Fred he was like, you know what seth so this wasnt done until he found out fred yes seth till the doctor told him, youre a good painter fred yes he was like [ laughter ] and he just seth wow thank you, fred. I do believe that was all true and i really appreciate you not lying to me. Fred my pleasure seth Merry Christmas, buddy. Fred Merry Christmas seth give it up for fred armisen, everyone [ cheers and applause our first guest is an emmy and Tony Award Winning actor you know from his work in the crown, dexter, and third rock from the sun. Hes currently starring in bombshell which is in select theaters now and everywhere on december 20th. Lets take a look. I actually started on air during college in central florida, weather i want to convince you that that is where i belong, mr. Ailes i think id be freaking phenomenal on your network well, its mr. Murdochs heir, but i did create it. I do run it. Right you have a pretty face. Here, stand up and give me a twirl. Seth please welcome back to the show, john lithgow, everybody. [ cheers and applause seth welcome back, john. Great to be back. I was just told this is my fifth time on the show seth welcome to the five timers thanks. Seth wonderful [ cheers and applause fantastic seth you are its a holiday coming up. Do you have plans . Mainly, christmas cookies Seth Christmas cookies my wife and i are throwing a party tomorrow night we spend all day today and most of tomorrow christmas cookies. Seth are they the kind of christmas cookies when as a guest to your party, people will see them and be impressed . Do you put all the were counting on that seth okay. Gotcha and i at the moment, im all cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice seth gotcha. That sort of thats the era of your life youre living through. Those are your spices. Yes, yes. The era thats right seth this is not this is roger ailes is not a christmassy kind of guy. Its not a holiday film seth yes [ light laughter ] its opening during the holidays seth but do not mistake it for a holiday film but in hollywood, you know, christmas is award season. So i guess it is seth there you go. What is a better gift than an award . You are youre roger ailes you play roger ailes in this film it takes place in 2015 some of the things that were happening then were, sort of megyn kelly questioning donald trump in a debate Gretchen Carlson filing a Sexual Harassment suit against the network. And this is all sort of a precursor to the me too movement which is right seth obviously very close to it but right before it was it interesting to sort of delve into you know, this is a historical piece, but its sort of recent history very much so. And it just it was an amazing feeling to be doing a film like this that is so much at the center of everybodys consciousness these days this really was a kind of origin story. When the Harvey Weinstein scandal came along, thats when the dam broke. Well, this was the hole in the dam. Seth yeah. Just and in an incredible it was a period of only about three weeks when so much happened and roger ailes life was just washed away. Karma caught up with him seth you say that karma caught up with him i think a lot of people would agree with you no matter what you think, obviously this is a guy who built an empire as referenced in that clip. You know, but many people would have negative opinions of roger ailes. When you play someone like that, do you have to find way to be empathetic towards them, or can you play someone hateful and as an actor be hateful as well . Well, i thought about that a lot over the years cause ive played a lot of villains i always say im on the side of whatever character im playing its just a matter of plumbing the depths, trying to empathize, look inside, and what makes that person tick. Its not necessarily exonerating roger ailes or building sympathy for him, but it is trying to kind of explain explain him seth yeah. Give a little emotional authenticity to him. I mean, it seems to me that everyone a villain like this lives a life of shame. You know, he carries this terrific guilty secret and if you if youre that ashamed, surely theres levels of remorse and regret thats kind of what i look for i mean, its just a kind of conflict inside the character. Seth and for someone who, you know, built a television empire, theres not a ton of was there a ton of tape for you to go on was there a lot for the purposes of research . Well, it was very hard. I found what i could, but roger, himself, i dont think he liked to be photographed otherwise, i could have found a lot more i finally found his voice in a kind of media symposium interview he did and was surprised. It was the first time id heard his voice. It was a very kind of buoyant and cheerful midwestern accent very different from a villains voice. Seth yeah. You know. Seth very good for you yeah, its just fine. Seth yeah. You have a good buoyant voice. As a matter of fact, he grew up in warren, ohio i spent two years of my childhood in akron, which is right nearby so turns out we had that in common seth thats amazing. You there is a lot of you had a was it your neighbor that knew him or you had a friend who used to be his neighbor what was no, not neighbor. Oh, i know yes. Our mutual friends, bonnie and terry turner seth oh yeah, of course. Theyre in cold spring. Their property abutted rogers and bonnie told me that one day in a diner, she saw roger ailes eat an entire meat pizza seth wow [ laughter ] i never even heard the phrase, meat pizza he was seth yeah, certainly it seems like a special order maybe. Yeah yes seth there is a it should be noted in this film, you are eating a lot theres multiple scenes. Yeah. Seth theres a scene where i believe you grab four doughnuts. Yes i think i spoon ice cream seth yes from a container. Seth do you find acting gets a little easier when you also have to worry about eating in a scene or does it take you out of it a little . Actually, i like i like eating during during dialogue scenes [ laughter ] seth yeah. I always seth i agree that it makes because once its very hard to act like youre eating a doughnut. You either are eating a doughnut or youre not. Thats right. Thats right its always good when youre performing a dialogue to have Something Else going on at the same time, so i like eating. Seth yeah. And, obviously, this was not one of those roles, thankfully, based on the clip we saw, where you actually transformed yourself physically. There was a lot of help. You had yeah. Oh, i had plenty of help seth yeah. I had prosthetic makeup help from, like, the genius makeup artist, kazuhiro seth oh, wow and hes the man who won an oscar for making up gary oldman as Winston Churchill seth there you go. At the very moment when i was playing Winston Churchill with no makeup at all seth yeah. [ laughter ] so you turns out seth he owed you one turns out i look a lot like Winston Churchill. I was yeah. But kazu came, i was very skeptical about prosthesis, but we spent an afternoon in his studio and it was extraordinary. Seth yeah. I mean, if you see the film, i mean, there are closeups that far away and its its my it appears to be my flesh. I could shake my head and this huge fake double chin would shake like a turkey. [ laughter ] seth wow like a mace pleased me immensely seth now, i would assume the downside of that is hours. 2 1 2 hours seth 2 1 2 hours yes, yeah seth then how about getting it off what was the that was only about five minutes. Seth oh. And then he just sits there crying being like, all my work right, and they would unzip me id take off my fat suit it was like the roger ailes diet seth yeah. For me. Seth and that you had in churchill, when you played churchill, yes yeah yes, i did have a fat suit. I seem to be going from one bald old fat man to another [ laughter ] its like im like the a latter day charles laughton. I dont know how people have come to think of me that way seth well youre not helping. Cause theyre going to see that and theyre like, theres our next old fat guy there you go [ laughter ] i just go around trying to look as thin as i can. Seth yeah, well you look very thin, although im worried about these cookies that youve got all baked up for tommorow. [ laughter ] but please, do have the most lovely holiday and thank you so much for being here you too, seth seth as always, so delightful to see you.

Seth i will say, like, that is amazing, like, to take that off. And you look very good for having worn a metal tree head. Im going to tell you, that is the magic of television seth that is oh, there might have been a cut . Isnt that cool im just saying its magical some magic happened. Seth this was your son, ulysses, is 11 years old. Yes, hes 11. Seth and he was a fan of this show before you were on it. Its his absolute favorite show it is it is truly you feel great the first half of the first time you watch it you just turn to anyone available and go, what is this . I dont understand what this is. [ laughter ] and then and then you cant stop watching it seth right cause its so insane and so funny because people walk out as, you know, Christmas Trees and so forth so i committed to doing it because he, you know, i have a christmas album coming out and so i thought wouldnt that be fun to be a Christmas Tree . But then also because he really liked it seth he really liked it. And then you got to text him the good news. Right well, so heres the thing. Because you film it and you cannot you dont know anything they keep you enshrouded in darkness seth right you dont know who any of the other contestants are. Seth really . You dont know anything seth wow you are, like, youve signed 5,000 ndas so they say to you, you know, youve got to tell only immediate family so i and that was a big deal with an 11yearold. Seth yeah. Because you have to say, you cant share it, right . Seth i want to start, because this is you really stressing. And then i want to say what he showed yeah, so seth so, what he yeah. Should we read it . Seth yeah, go ahead. Thats me texting i said thats ulysses thats his thing seth yeah. I said, hi. He texted me, hi. Thats his hes very monosyllabic seth yeah. [ laughter ] i said, were at lunch we just tried to facetime you. Remember the very secret show that i was stressing about . Yes. Im going to do it. Great thats a lot of emotion for him. [ laughter ] and then he then i said, remember, you can only talk about it with our family. Seth and now you might be thinking now is the time where ulysses suggested maybe you could be a Christmas Tree. Yeah, maybe yeah seth because you have a christmas album coming out instead he said seth but instead he said dress as a big penis. [ laughter ] [ applause ] seth yeah. Which i have to say is not a bad idea seth its not a bad idea i mean, at first but i felt the sweaty balls would give it away. Seth oh, yeah. [ applause ] i was going to say theres no real reason for anyone to, like, associate you with a penis with a giant penis. Seth except, of course, sweaty balls, yeah except sweaty balls, and they would have got it the first week seth the minute you walk out, one note, theyre like, ana gasteyer goodbye [ laughter ] take off the penis head. Perfect hair and makeup. [ laughter ] [ applause ] ana, did you was it i mean, it was like you know, we have sometimes, you know, well have people on the show as guests who are in one of the marvel movies or the star wars movies yeah. Seth and they have that same thing. Theyre shrouded in secrecy. Yes seth was it weird for you i mean, because youve never been in a project before, im assuming, like an nda oriented project seth yeah. No, only for really heavy duty pharmaceutical voiceovers [ laughter ] seth yeah. But aside from that, no i mean, its super, super weird. Youre shuttled, you know, youre shuttled from safe house to safe house. Seth yeah. Its terrifying seth and whats it like performing cause you again, youre trying to sing to the best of your ability yes seth whats it like being under that a giant Christmas Tree costume . Seth yeah. Its terrible seth yeah. You cant you sound you know how you hate your voice when you hear it on the answering machine . Seth yeah. Its like that all the time seth okay, gotcha. Because your voice is right next to you. You know, im used to hearing my voice when i sing. And you cant talk to anybody. You cant talk to the dancers. Seth right like, you literally only talk to your immediate producers and your therapist seth yeah. [ laughter ] yeah. So seth and does the therapist make you wear the costume as well yes seth okay. Yes just to work through some of the stuff. Seth just to work through it but you do its funny because, you know, each job, im sure youve had this experience by now in between snl, and this, and that and the other thing.
