00:00Christopher Walken is one of the best SNL hosts of all time, but more Cowbell and
00:04the Continental are really just scratching the surface in terms of his
00:07most memorable sketches. Case in point, Centaur job interview. A bit in which he
00:11plays a hospital administrator interviewing candidates for a new job
00:15and among the applicants is Chris Parnell as a centaur.
00:20Only if I can write you. Fair enough. Moving on, could you enter yourself in the Kentucky Derby? I don't know.
00:33Chris Parnell told one of our writers, Will Ferrell and Adam McKay wrote the sketch, but rather than playing the
00:38centaur part himself, Will thought it should be me. Parnell says the sketch
00:41came to him fully formed and that he merely had to figure out the right way
00:45to approach the material, which was to take it seriously like a normal job
00:48interview. He said, I had to answer these weird questions from Walken as if they
00:52weren't that weird. Of course, those would be the questions a centaur would be
00:55asked in a job interview from a human. I don't think I ever once made eye
00:58contact with Walken because he was just looking at the cards. No harm there. I
01:01don't blame him. It was a lot of words. Regardless, the sketch was a big success.
01:05Whereas Parnell puts it, it's such a funny piece and so well-written. That's
01:09the reason why it continues to live on. That, and because it was Christopher Walken.
