Saturday Night Live alum Mike Myers made his fourth guest appearance on NBC’s late-night sketch comedy series this season in the finale hosted by Scarlett Johansson. After previously impersonating Elon Musk, Myers played himself this time in an elevator sketch.
First, he encounters two big fans, played by Johansson and SNL‘s Marcello Hernandez. Things turn awkward when Myers and Johansson’s Janet are joined by Kanye West, played by SNL veteran Kenan Thompson, who boards the elevator.
Janet quickly gets off, leaving Myers and West stuck on a long, uncomfortable ride, in which Thompson’s West references some of the many older and more recent controversies he has gotten involved in, from his comments that President George W. Bush does not care about Black people during a 2005 fundraiser for victims of Hurricane Katrina, to his KKK-inspired hooded outfit [“I’m in the KKK now,” Thompson’s West said], his antisemitic remarks to his shocking claims about a sexual relationship with his cousin.
When the elevator stops and Myers suggests they jump up and down, West (Thompson) replies, “No Man, I don’t like doing crazy stuff.”

And when Myers exclaims, “You don’t understand, I get really claustrophobic,” West responds, “Oh, trust me, I understand. I’m a few phobics myself.”
You can watch the sketch, which also references the ongoing Sean “Diddy” Combs trial, above.
