Mike Myers steals the show in 'SNL' season 50 finale with Kanye West sketch

Mike Myers surprises in SNL finale with Kenan Thompson as Kanye West in an awkward elevator sketch alongside Scarlett Johansson.

"No man, I don’t like doing crazy stuff. – Kanye West (Kenan Thompson)"

Washington, May 18

Mike Myers made a surprise appearance in the season 50 finale of 'Saturday Night Live', hosted by Scarlett Johansson.

The video was also released on Saturday Night Live's official YouTube channel.

Myers, a former cast member, played himself in an elevator sketch alongside Kenan Thompson's portrayal of Kanye West.

The sketch begins with Myers entering an elevator with Johansson and Marcello Hernandez, who play enthusiastic fans.

However, the atmosphere quickly turns awkward when Thompson's Kanye West joins them, referencing his past controversies, including his comments on President George W. Bush's response to Hurricane Katrina and his antisemitic remarks.

West's character also mentions his KKK-inspired outfit, saying, "I'm in the KKK now".

As the elevator ride becomes increasingly uncomfortable, Myers suggests they jump up and down to cope with the situation.

West declines, saying, "No man, I don't like doing crazy stuff."

When Myers expresses his claustrophobia, West responds, "Oh, trust me, I understand. I'm a few phobics myself."

The sketch is part of the season 50 finale, which features guest host Scarlett Johansson and musical guest Bad Bunny.

Myers' appearance marks his fourth guest spot on the show this season, following previous impersonations of Elon Musk.

Mike Myers is comedy gold! Loved him in Austin Powers and now this SNL cameo. Though I wonder if making light of Kanye's controversies is the best approach. Still, classic Myers awkward humor 😂

SNL should be careful with sensitive topics like antisemitism. While satire is important, some things shouldn't be joked about. That said, Myers' timing is impeccable as always!

Why is SNL still giving Kanye attention? The man needs help, not more spotlight. Though Myers suggesting they jump was hilarious - typical Canadian politeness in awkward situations!

As someone who grew up watching SNL reruns, seeing Myers back is pure nostalgia! But I wish they'd bring back more classic sketches instead of controversial figures. Where's the love for Wayne's World?

American comedy shows have a different approach to sensitive topics compared to Indian shows. Here we'd never joke about something like the KKK. Cultural differences in humor are fascinating!
