I was looking for a transcript to see if I could get most of what McAvoy said in this skit right, but the dedicated "SNL transcripts" page I found was really bad. I tried leaving a comment on the post, but it didn't work, and I didn't want my 30 minute hyperfixation to just disappear, so I thought I might post it here!

...Here's my attempt at something a little better (including the Scottish bits, courtesy of alix14359 on sonichits(dot)com):

Mikey Day: Oh, God. I don't know what I'm doing, I can't fly this plane.

Heidi Gardner: I'll go see if the pilot's unconscious.

Day: Okay, I'll try to get someone on the radio. Hello? Hello? Mayday, mayday.

Kate McKinnon: Hello?

Day: Yes. Yes, hello.

McKinnon: Yes, this is Glasgow Air Traffic Control. Are you in distress?

Day: Um, yes, I'm not a pilot. I am part of Kylie Jenner's brand integration team. We're on a private jet going to London for a "Lips by Kylie" event, but we hit bad turbulence, and our pilot got knocked unconscious, but Kylie's not on board. Thank God.

McKinnon: Okay, I don't know who that is, but sounds like you're gonna have to land that plane. I'm putting you in very good hands. This man is the best, he'll get you down, just do exactly as he says.

Day: Okay, I'm ready.

James McAvoy: Alright, now, there's no a-tic-toc for monikers, big man. I know you're coming on all peely-wally up there but I'm going to help you down out the sky faster than a whippet gets a hard-on, okay?

Day: What?

McAvoy: Now, I'm gonna get you down, but here is what I need you to do first, okay? Have a deep breath.

Day: "Dee"... okay, what?

McAvoy: I just want you to take a deep breath. In, out, in, out. You alright there, wee man? You alright?

Day: In, "ooh"...

Gardner: What are you- what-...

Day: What?

Gardner: What are they saying?

McAvoy: Deep breath, right? Deep breath, and you need to stay calm.

Gardner: What are they saying?

Day: He says I need a Steak-umm?

Gardner: Okay, maybe there's one in the cabin.

McAvoy: Now, listen to me very carefully. On the wee panel of switches in front of you, there's a brown doodad with a red jack. About the size of a... f- me, what do you call it? American cookie.

McKinnon: Oreo cookie?

McAvoy: Oreo... no, a Keebler. No, alright. There's a wee thing about the size of an Oreo cookie. I thought it was a Keebler. What's the doodad coming in at?

Day: "Keeblah"... Say again?

McAvoy: Mate, the brown doodad that looks like an Oreo cookie. What's it coming in at?

Day: I'm so- I got "brune doodah," sir?

McAvoy: No, no, repeat, no. Brown, the color, brown.

Day: Oh, oh, brown?

McAvoy: Aye. What's the brown doodad coming in at?

Day: I'm so sorry, your accent is very thick. Is it possible to not have it? Over.

Gardner: I brought Clement.

Day: Oh, Clement, there's speaking Scottish at me and it's very hard.

Kenan Thompson: Alright, let me handle this. I spent some time in Scotland, so my ears are friendly to the Scottish flavor. Yeah, hello, this is Clement, Kylie's branding director. Let's do this.

McAvoy: Good, two heads are better than one. Right, have a wee shufty out the window down at the ground. Tell me if you can rest your goggles upon Auchentoshan Plane Station.

Thompson: Nope.

Day: No, no, I need you. Clement, I need you.

Thompson: Alright, fine. Please tell me what I need to do.

McAvoy: Come on, you try with him.

McKinnon: Alright. Can you look out the window?

Thompson: Did I eat at Wendy's? Never.

McKinnon: No, out the window.

Thompson: Alright, fine. I had Wendy's last week. But don't tell Kylie.

McAvoy: Listen, big man. Tempus fugit, 'cause we're only going to get a crack at this once. Now, there's a wee burgundy hingmajig on the dash, give it a wee tug.

Thompson: No.

Day: Clement, Clement.

McAvoy: Oh, no. Oh, no. In the name of the wee man. Alright, radar's got you leaving Scottish airspace. This connection's getting crunchier than a bag of smashed crabs.

McKinnon: Okay, we're gonna have to patch you over to Welsh Air Traffic Control, get you down on the ground.

McAvoy: Alright, godspeed, you lot. Glasgow out.

Gardner: Okay, what's happening?

Day: I don't know. I think we're on our own.

Beck Bennett: Hello? Go for Wales Air Traffic Control.

Day: Maybe not. Good to hear your voice, Wales.

Bennett: Okay. [made-up Welsh, probably.]

Day: What?

Gardner: Just aim for water.

This is still the best copy of this sketch I can find of this Will Ferrel sketch. YOU CONFOUND ME!

I saw this back in the day, not even a mom yet and I still say this, w/accent, to my sons and they are 16 and 20 now! Anyone have a better copy?

If you want to go out of your way to find this shot in the movie, you can see some dude who looks like a bearded Mikey day! I looked it up and there was nothing about him starring in a Star Wars film!

I was perusing the May 1984 HBO Guide and spotted an entry for something called "Chevy Chase Meets the Kids," a special that was scheduled to air 5 times on HBO. I remember some of the other family programming from that month but I don't recall ever seeing this show.

There is no record of this special on Chevy Chase's IMDB, Wikipedia pages, Letterboxd, or in the filmography on his official website. I can't find it on YouTube or the Internet Archive. The only Google search results are a handful of programming guides from newspapers at the time and a couple references to the HBO Guide itself. I can't confirm for sure if it actually ever aired, but I assume it did.

This is not to be confused with "A Day in the Life of Chevy Chase" (also known as "On Location") that aired on HBO in 1978.

"Chevy Chase Meets the Kids" seems to be part of an extremely short-lived series, as in June '84 there was a "Dolly Parton Meets the Kids" half-hour special that aired four times, and then nothing else under the "Meets the Kids" name ever aired again in 1984. The Dolly Parton episode currently exists on YouTube, but Chevy's episode seems to be lost.

Anyone recall ever seeing it?

All sketches and musical performances based on wicked could be a possibility. Bowen yang, Arianna grande, and the main witch character as musical guest. What else could they work in? Dana Carvey as Judy garland?

For me it's tiny horse

We're talkin 2 ply, baby!

Anyone have favorite SNL background actors? Well, besides the showgirls and Abraham Lincoln actors.

My favorite is this dude named Ivanno Jeremiah who has played some fantastic roles like in the UK series Humans. He was most recently in the background of the Beavis and Butthead sketch sitting next to Ryan Gosling. https://www.imdb.com/name/nm3971689/

edit: SOLD

Can't go to this tonight and have two tix for sale $23 total. Prob wrong place to post but wanted to as the show is sold out!
