Viewers in the United States can catch a clip of her monologue below from broadcaster Sky TV.<\/p>\n \n\tAfter making a monologue joke about consuming \u201ca staggering amount of cocaine\u201d to recreate \u201cthe magic of original 1970s SNL<\/em>,\u201d Coughlan says in the video, \u201cBut look, it\u2019s an honor to be hosting. It\u2019s sort of feels like I manifested it somehow. It\u2019s almost like this place is like, magic.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\t\u201cThat\u2019s because it is,\u201d announces Jimmy Fallon, appearing on stage out of the blue to impart \u201cthe biggest secret of SNL<\/em>\u201d to Saturday\u2019s host.<\/p>\n \n\t\u201cDon\u2019t tell anyone, but \u2026 it\u2019s live<\/em>,\u201d Fallon says. \u201cIt\u2019s actually live. You can do whatever you want. You can go wherever you want. You\u2019re the host. They don\u2019t stop you!\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tAnd so the pair takes a backstage stroll that has Coughlan feeling the power that comes with taking control. Run-ins with cast members ensue, but it\u2019s a certain rock musician that stops her in her tracks.<\/p>\n \n\t\u201cJimmy. Jimmy. It\u2019s Dave Grohl,\u201d Coughlan says in a hushed tone upon spotting the Foo Fighters vocalist, to which Fallon suggests, \u201cYou should ask him to be best friends \u2014 because we\u2019re live<\/em>. He has to say yes.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tCoughlan shoots her shot. Sure enough, Grohl plays the yes man: \u201cSure, why not?\u201d he replies. The new besties share a high five and heart hands.<\/p>\n \n\t\u201cThat was incredible!\u201d Coughlan exclaims.<\/p>\n \n\tWatch Coughlan\u2019s SNL<\/em> monologue, featuring Jimmy Fallon plus a cameo from Dave Grohl, in the video below uploaded to the official SNK UK YouTube channel.
