*sneezes*

W-WEGMANS!

Gazuntite.

I'm not gonna lie, if I lived closer to this place I'd be there all the time.

Whole Foods

Trader Joe's

Wegmans.

Honestly? Ranked?

Trader Joe's

Wegmans

Wegmans.

lol.

Whole Foods is a necessary evil.

{Enter The Multiverse}

No, I want the half

Can't go all the way

Enough is enough

And a hand is a hand

And a handout is ransom,

Spare me the note

Spare me the selfish suicide concepts

Spare me the alter

The coaxial

The collar

The caller—

Whatever you call me

Spare me the mantras

Stop talking.

Long throat violence,

Oh,

I onkybhope to know you

(Or I don't)

I only hope to notice m

Oh long Johnson

Quick sermons and a few soft passwords

A couple ardvsrks on a long top showman

A couple bad barks from the dog

And work for the foreman

Who are you after

(Not god)

Have been forgiven?

Is fhat a question.

I marked it as such

And still j walked up

The lock in the bathtub did honors

Did honors

Did run today

Who are you for

Not the office

Not the John

Not the forerunner

Oe the forward

Who are you,

god talker?

Who are you

Was often the question asked

And you want to do all you want

Home alone

The devil runs

From behind her nothing soft

Anymore

Awkward

And then unearthed

I saw you were watched, stalking

Also

Pulled back on my reigns, the horse

Does bit the bite down

And then some soaked offer

Was

Half you are, where

Wear the volume down

Wear your art hard

Or suffer, Gaga!

GAGA WHERE ARE YOU?

LADY GAGA

I'M ON A HORSE

target

GAGA!

LADY GAGA

I'M ON A HORSE, I SAID.

BUT WHERE?!

NEAR ENOUGH THET YOU CAN HEAR ME,

LIKE, OBVIOUSLY, BUT FAR ENOUGH AWAY THAT YOU CAN'T SEE ME ON A HORSE.

ARE YOU COMING?!

NEGATIVE.

WELL— WHY NOT?!

THE HORSE WONT MOVE!

JUMP OFF THEN.

IMPOSSIBLE.

WHY IS JUMPING OFF A HORSE IMPOSSIBLE

WHEN YOURE LADY GAGA

ITS BECAUSE I'M LADY GAGA THAT THIS IS IMPOSSIBLE FOR MULTIPLE REASONS

WHAT— JUMP OFF OF THE—

NEGATIVE. THERE ARE MULTIPLE FACTORS CONTRIBUTING TO THIS IMPOSSIBILITY.

WHY ARE THEY YELLING.

Omg shut up

2 bit horse jumper

Target

Target

Stalker

Stalker

Obi wan kanobi!

Sheeeeeeer forces!

What is this?

Bad cheerleaders.

WHY ARE WE YELLING?!

Oh. We're fighting.

Oh, that makes sense,

What kind of fighting.

Sword— unh— FIGHTING.

Oh, okay.

Why is lady Gaga on a horse?!

Cause she's just like that sometimes.

*shrugs, but on a horse— obviously dressed elaborately enough that yes, jumping off of the horse would be practically

LADY GAGA

No, completely.

—Completely impossible.

I wanna watch you eat spicy hot wings.

In a sweater.

But I left handed magic to

Can't- that

Cancelled

I hope it was cashmere

Or

Calvin Klein

I'll retract,

Meditate and then

Redact that

Maybe

Fantasize

Glamourize that for a lifetime

Pull the knife out of my back,

And then sample it.

I wanna watch you eat hotwings.

That's—-

What I want.

GAGA. PLEASE!

LADY GAGA

I'm sorry— he's not moving.

THIS IS URGENT.

LADY GAGA

I know it's urgent. My lack of yelling does not negate that it isn't, but.

BUT WHAT?

*yawns*

I'm getting sleepy.

[LADY GAGA falls asleep atop the horse; only then does the horse begin to move, however— it appears as though GAGA is now completely unconscious.

But those shoes.

Egad.

Bro.

lol. Why is this?

I'm… my writers blocks are not fun, practical, or progressive. They're just.

[LADY GAGA fights and defeats an entire battle completely unconscious atop a horse.]

Isn't technically the horse… fighting.

No, and I'll explain to you why.

Omgz

*spoiler*

[lady Gaga IS the horse]

Why.

What the fuck.

Fuck these shapeshifters.

Fuck everything right now. What the fuck did I just watch.

WHAT DID I JUST SEEEEEEEEEE

Dedede…fleetleum, fleetleflum…

“Fleedleflum?”

Ahem!?

Dude, you are a villain.

WHAT, BECAUSE I SAID “FLEETLEFLUM”

*fleedleflum

AHEM!

I SETH MEYERS is revealed as the villain…

Again.

WHAT!

WHY!

I THOUGHT I WAS THE VILLAIN.

you said you didn't want it!

THEN I ADJUSTED.

Well, too late.

WHAT.

Nice.

Hehe.

WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK!

I WENT METHOD.

A-for effort, I guess?

WHATEVER A-FOR-EFFORT.

I JUST COMMITTED A LOT OF EVIL SHIT

For what

FOR THEATRICAL AND ENTERTAINMENT PURPOSES.

Well.

“WELL?”

Like what.

Like—

Tax Fraud.

Ahem.

Nice.

[beat]

Seth, you got the part.

Yesssss!

Booyah.

Maybe you can take some method lessons and pointers from your friend here—

Salt of the earth!

— Mr. Evil tax fraud man.

RYAN REYNOLDS

*deflates*

Later.

Where are you going?

I'm going to do Pilates.

Because I'm rich.

(Everyone just kind of nods in agreement.)

L E G E N D S

STEPHEN COLBERT runs at full speed down the street towards the house at which his formerly youthful self “recently” disappeared during a thunderstorm.

Oh look. It's little Stevie!

You recognize me?!

OF COURSE I DO! You're the big hotshot anchorman on TV, but I remember…

I don't have—time—

Suddenly, he sees it— the radio tower which apparently transported him into this, a distant future, but also a remarkably odd parallel of reality which seems to have been sprung from his own timeline.

Where is this going?

We'll see.

Apparently,

I'm reanimated;

Certain parts just don't work,

I'm factory reset

And radiated

Aggrandized to carry out this task

And then cease to be

A zombie, if you will

A corpse responding to light energy inside of me

So when I leave,

I'm not sleeping

I'm decomposing

Deteriorating

I stay hydrated to keep my eyes involved

In the light almost as if

The illusion is existence—

However,

I know better

It's simply a simulation

I mutated against my better judgement

Just for this focus

Aspirations as if

Aggressions could be achiviments

At any rate

A talking head

Who are you?

Done for now.

Who are you!

Done for now.

Who are you?

A far cry

Dust in the wind,

And I'm sure so for aure

That the places I've been

Are more often television location sequences

Than not.

Aha, who are you?

The plot.

Then who are I?

A handsome damsel.

Hark.

But not to wake, I form again

To dream of you

And then

Cease to be,

My honor,

So that may I call

To wish a gasp upon a cantered breath,

I scream to wake

And then you, a glisten,

Never to count time

I waking,

Them as sheep,

And she who calls I—

There, the canter,

And there I wake to know I,

Call I,

My bare and lay truth

So that

There waking, calls I now

The scream of shadow

Mercy, yonder

But not waiting,

I cherish

To bark.

….

….

Wt—

Now I could see how my energy was moving; I had to write as much as I could before my media update.

Intentional brainwash.

Suddenly, it all made me so nervous.

Programming.

Then again,

It didn't matter, really, in the end.

6 hours.

There was nothing more daunting

Than the approaching courier for Whole Foods market

And Instacart simultaneously because it meant

Somehow,

That I had an album coming out.

Eagle eye,

And to say the brown soul

May go extinct

Eagle eye

Give me a bite of your Adam's Apple

I want to taste you

I want to know fortune

Through the glory of love

In the wonder of your arms

I want to know nothing but

Love in your eyes

And in your mind,

My heart

MAYA RUDOLPH

I feel weird.

FRED … ARMISEN

This is getting intense.

That's probably it.

AMY POEH—LER

No.

AMY PH—

No.

OF COURSE IT IS.

ITS SUPPOSED TO BE.

why are you yelling?

IM NOT YELLING.

I'M SPEAKING IN CAPITAL LETTERS.

TINA FEY

…there's a difference!

RACHEL

WITH A ‘T'?

Maybe

DRATCH

YEAH there IS.

Okay, where are we going with this?

Shh. Not yet.

I AM PRINCESS SHAMALAMADINGDONG.

WHY?

It's sketch comedy. Does it HAVE to have motive?

You're right— but it at least has to have a plot.

Meanwhile…

SETH MEYERS'S wand has been stolen.

Hey.

Yes?

There was..a…

???

There was a, like a— like a —

??

There was like, a number two pencil here.

…there still is.

No, like a very— like, a specific—

There's— a bunch of them here.

No—

Just like always.

No, it's.

[Blank stares]

N—nevermind.

Wait—

What's up.

1, 2, 3, 4– who am I forgetting?

ARSENIO HALL

Not yet, Arsenio;

We're still on strike force

5!

Meanwhile, in Jimmy Kimmel's lair.
