Cookie Monster is starting his own campaign to host Saturday Night Live and after seeing his four minute audition tape, I’m joining his cause.

Cookie starts his tape with a short monologue and then goes immediately into a sketch called “Macarooner”, a cookie-themed twist on the show’s popular MacGruber character. There’s also a short tribute to Weekend Update (was that a pot joke he made or is that just me making everything a subtle drug reference?) and a Lady Gaga impression that absolutely killed me.

This is just about the most funny and darling thing I’ve seen on the Internet and in a hot minute, and with all the pictures of kitten doing silly things out there, that’s really saying something.

    As a significant icon from the under-40 crowd’s collective childhood, OH MY GOD, Cookie Monster totally deserves to host SNL more than, like, anyone else ever (excepting Steve Martin, John Goodman, Alec Baldwin, blah blah). I am so excited about this.

    Except that I hate the “new” (?) Sesame Street voices, including my ex-boyfriend Grover’s, and especially that rat Elmo’s. Fuck it! Why can’t SNL have Frank Oz host, and then they could do send-ups of everything from Muppets to Star Wars! He could just voice everything in every skit from offstage. Can you imagine a Frank Oz digital short? It would be TV Funhouse all over again!!!1 Fire your writers, SNL! Put the Internet in charge!

    It’s not just you. He should totally get this gig, and take Betty White as his date to the Emmys.

    That was fantastic! My favorite doll was Cookie Monster when I was little, I loved that poor thing to rags. I even had a Cookie Monster birthday cake one year and to this day it’s still my best one :)
