‘SNL’: Kanye West Parodied, Says ‘I’m in the KKK Now’ in Wild Sketch With Mike Myers

Is there anything scarier than being stuck alone in an elevator with Kanye West? In the season finale of “Saturday Night Live,” Mike Myers steps into an elevator alongside host Scarlett Johansson, only for them to be joined by a sunglass-wearing Kanye West (played by Kenan Thompson). Terrified, Johansson quickly exits the elevator, leaving Myers stuck with ‘Ye.

West begins the nightmarish elevator ride by asking how Myers has been since the last time they saw each other, which was at “that Hurricane Katrina Benefit where I said George Bush doesn’t care about Black people and you just had to stand there looking stupid,” referencing West’s infamous 2005 rant during NBC’s Concert for Hurricane Relief.

Myers asks West what he’s been up to in the meantime, to which Kanye replies, “I’m in the KKK now,” before asking after Myers’ children. “My kids?” Myers responded nervously. “My kids are safe.”

Thompson’s West then changed topics, bringing up the recent Diddy trial, and asking if Myers’ last name is of Jewish origin — to which Myers replies, “It’s Protestant.”

When it seems Myers is in the clear, the elevator breaks down, sending him into a panic — “I’m claustrophobic!” West commiserated with Myers’ phobia, replying, “I’m a few phobics myself.” The sketch ends with Kanye teasing a new song he’s been working on called “Squeezin’ On My Grandpa’s Booty” and wishing Myers well in the future: “Take care of yourself, Shrek!”

West has had a checkered history with “Saturday Night Live,” both ranting and raving about the show and appearing on it several times as a musical guest.
