Apparently, as he was on his way out door at Saturday Night Live this week, Pete Davidson took notice that the sketch comedy series’ longtime boss man, Lorne Michaels, was in a bit of a funk.

Luckily — as chronicled in an unaired, pretaped segment (seen below) — guest host Natasha Lyonne was rummaging through Michaels’ trash when she found the script for a music video the EP wrote and had hoped to shoot with Davidson before the musically inclined funny man wrapped his eight-season run.

Davidson decided to make his boss’ dream a reality, and launched into a music video in which he and Michaels (…or at least a series of facsimiles) rap about how comedy’s latest trendy innovation and/or meme clearly “Forgot About Lorne” and his many contributions to the form over nearly 50 years.

Wanna talk about all the crazy people he made?
Every single decade has ridiculous names!
Like David Spade, Belushi, Wiig and Farley,
Aykroyd, Gilda, Sandler and Carvey,
Ferrell, Morgan, Will Forte,
Norm Macdonald and Tina Fey
He musta seen a lotta things but he never snitched
He’s nice as hell, he’s Canadian, bitch

Along the way, Davidson celebrates all that Michaels did for him and fellow exiting cast members Kate McKinnon, Aidy Bryant and Kyle Mooney, until his latest Eminem-style rap is screeched to a halt by a surprise cameo.

Watch the video below, then grade this weekend’s finale.

    Scotland's leader cancelled a speech Friday as he fights for his political life in the wake of his decision to pull the plug on a three-year power-sharing agreement, a move that has exposed the government to peril. First Minister Humza Yousaf of the Scottish National Party was due to deliver a major speech on Scotland's independence from the U.K., but that has been cancelled following the furor surrounding his decision to tear up the power-sharing deal with the much smaller Greens on Thursday. Without the support of the Greens, the SNP is two seats shy of a majority of lawmakers in the Scottish Parliament, meaning it can only get legislation and its budget through with the support of other parties.
