    Daang Colin is fine



  2. Lizanne Whitlow on October 10, 2022 at 4:46 am

    Mein Gott, these two are fabulous! So is Cillian Murphy! 😂



  3. Dan Wallach on October 10, 2022 at 4:47 am

    I’ve loved him since he beat up Oliver Platt, whom I also love.



  4. Manuel Toscano on October 10, 2022 at 4:48 am

    This is so great! I never really considered that Colin probably looks up to Brendan in this fashion (they’re both such tremendous actors I just automatically put them on the same level), but now this is absolutely my head canon! 🤣



  5. Eoin Murphy on October 10, 2022 at 4:48 am

    I think that might be the first time American media has actually met a real Irish man



  6. Deniz Zagra on October 10, 2022 at 4:50 am

    Why didn’t he mention Kingdom of Heaven (2005), one of my favorite movies!



  7. JoAnne Weiss on October 10, 2022 at 4:52 am

    Such wonderful calm & music too! Have loved him in everything, from Braveheart thru HP with my son, to the absolutely brilliant Macbeth with 2 of my other favorites. Can’t wait to see him again with Farrell. And his son is beyond creepy brilliant with Carell!



  8. Miller Wolf on October 10, 2022 at 4:52 am

    his giggle at the end is so precious. very special to see someone so free with himself with his best bud.



  9. Sagan Thacker on October 10, 2022 at 4:53 am

    I love that SNL got Brendan Gleeson tuning his mandolin on live TV



  10. Henry Ruddle on October 10, 2022 at 4:55 am

    Punkie needs more screen time.



  11. Eclectic Explorer on October 10, 2022 at 4:57 am

    He was really good in "The General."



  12. Jim Banda on October 10, 2022 at 4:57 am

    I met Colin Farrel on two occasions , he is a very sincere and generous man.
    Given the circumstances at the time, I wish I was nowhere near the place on both days, and sadly things got much worse for our family, beyond retrieval.
    However, during a time of darkness and great pain in the lives of children and teenagers and their families, Colin came and lit up their world for a few hours , relaxed, friendly , interested , caring , knowledgeable , with great generosity (including Vanloads of expensive gifts), and with NO pr ligs , photographers or media plugs , he has warmed the weary hearts of thousands of very sick children in hospital at Christmas. ❤❤❤
    Mr Gleeson seems like a nice guy too👏👏👏



  13. Lizanne Whitlow on October 10, 2022 at 5:00 am

    When Grandad said, “you never know who you might meet in your dreams” … I said “aaawwwwhhhhh” out loud to my cat.
    🥰😢😭



  14. Sam Hersch on October 10, 2022 at 5:01 am

    And co-hosted by Colin!



  15. Direnaar on October 10, 2022 at 5:01 am

    I’m liking this kind of monologue, I usually skip them but somehow I was compelled to watch this one



  16. thomas martin on October 10, 2022 at 5:02 am

    The shade joke went down like the temperature in the shade



  17. LaNaya Manske on October 10, 2022 at 5:04 am

    I hate the font in the new logo. It looks 70s in a bad way.



  18. Ron Littlejohn on October 10, 2022 at 5:04 am

    Honestly Colin Farrell’s facial hair changes so much I was sure that was a real mustache for a second



  19. Jason brosnan on October 10, 2022 at 5:07 am

    I think brendan gleeson is one of Irelands finest actors, he’s been in some great roles and probably my favourite is his portrayal of the general martin cahill, I’m so proud to be an Irish man 🍀🇮🇪😁 the rest of the world doesn’t know what it’s missing, the sights you see will mesmerise and astound you 😁



  20. Terrence Barnes on October 10, 2022 at 5:09 am

    Incredibly heart felt, honest and true..
    Well done fellow countryman.



  21. Ellen on October 10, 2022 at 5:10 am

    I GOT A FEVER
    AND THE ONLY PRESCRIPTION IS MORE MANDOLIN



  22. Judge Murphyville 2099 on October 10, 2022 at 5:10 am

  23. Pippin Took on October 10, 2022 at 5:11 am

    In Bruge was great!!!



  24. ELWest1000 on October 10, 2022 at 5:12 am

    That little thing about combing your hair before bed was so sweet 🥰



  25. Reymundo Donsayo on October 10, 2022 at 5:13 am

    The saviors of SNL stay tuned fir future duo guest appearances by these two. Shoebiz



  26. Oddbox Gaming on October 10, 2022 at 5:13 am

    This reminds me of when SNL was culturally relevant.



  27. Kate Nelson on October 10, 2022 at 5:19 am



  28. Jon on October 10, 2022 at 5:19 am

    Don’t applaud, just throw potatoes.



  29. GoSPAM907 Gaming on October 10, 2022 at 5:21 am

    LEGEND!



  30. Lizanne Whitlow on October 10, 2022 at 5:23 am

    I was hoping to see his sons too!



  31. SONGWRITER FOR TRUTH on October 10, 2022 at 5:24 am

    Is That Ted Cruz’s Dad.?
    Playing Mandolin?
    JOE BIDEN WANTS TO KNOW?
    LET’S GO BRANDON AND TRUMP 👍 2024👍



  32. SONGWRITER FOR TRUTH on October 10, 2022 at 5:26 am

    Hopefully Audience MEMBERS won’t get mugged walking through the Parking Lot. I haven’t seen SNL SINCE THE SHOW BECAME BOORISH WITH THE POLITICAL LANDSCAPAAE ..
    IF HE GETS THROWN IN JAIL CACKELING KAMALA HARRIS OBVIOUSLY WILL PAY THE BAIL, KAMALA
    STILL GETS KICK-BACKS FROM BROWN BECAUSE OF THE KNEE INJURY SHE OBTAINED WITH THAT BROWN DUDE.. DEMOCRATIC PARTY IS LIKE A MANHEIM ALBUM THROWN OUT IN THE ALLEY



  33. UWCB on October 10, 2022 at 5:28 am

    F’ing brilliant!



  34. Roberto Mendez on October 10, 2022 at 5:30 am

    🤣🙌🙌🙌



  35. Stuart O'Mahony on October 10, 2022 at 5:31 am

    The professionalism and support and partnership in the monologue and just two Irishmen having the craic onstage brilliant



  36. Jay W on October 10, 2022 at 5:32 am

    How much more at ease be was just telling stories rather than reading cue cards, felt like getting in the pub on a Sunday afternoon



  37. Steve Stewart on October 10, 2022 at 5:32 am

    Let’s be honest here folks, I am 62 years old and I remember when SNL was actually a good and funny show, with some well known cast members, like Belushi, Murphy, Chase, etc. The cast they have now is unknown, unfunny, and horrible.

    Saturday Night Live is so bad now it might just be time to cancel it. The show is terrible, the writing is bad, the skit ideas are really bad, the cast is a bunch of un-funny has beens that never were, except for Kenan and Che, and now they do not even open the show with a political skit very often.

    Which was the best part of the show, without the open political skit it is not even watching until weekend update come on with Jost and Che.

    It’s so bad, the only thing worth watching at all is the fake news segment about 11:15, which is barely watchable, the rest of it is just bad, bad, bad. I tried to watch it last night, and it was so bad I just could not do it. I did not even watch weekend update, I just turned it off and watched videos on youtube instead.

    Now I know some people are going to hate my review of the current SNL, but I was just being honest, and deep down I bet most people agree with me. I did not even know who the host was, I have never heard of him. I also remember when actual famous people used to host it.

    If I had to grade it from 1 to 10, with 10 being the best, I would give it a 1.



  38. Dr Phot on October 10, 2022 at 5:33 am

    Have the Irish given Black American Descendants of Enslaved people reparations of any kind yet?



  39. Síofra Collins on October 10, 2022 at 5:33 am

    So cute ! Loved their Father Ted inspired bit lol



  40. john furey on October 10, 2022 at 5:33 am

    the Guard is the funniest of his films.



  41. Mary K on October 10, 2022 at 5:34 am

    this season is reminding me of Trump. You dont think it can get worse, and then it does.



  42. Suspiro del Moro on October 10, 2022 at 5:34 am

    Brendan Gleeson is MY MAN! He was hilarious in “Lake Placid” and amazing in “In Bruges” and “Safe House.”



  43. Quigley007 on October 10, 2022 at 5:35 am

    definitely felt like an episode from old old SNL, in the best way.



  44. Julian CP on October 10, 2022 at 5:38 am

    tunes the mandolin on live television – hell yes



  45. Ottavia Zwillenberg on October 10, 2022 at 5:39 am

    Speaking of Cillian Murphy… need him on SNL!



  46. Andrew White on October 10, 2022 at 5:40 am

    Yosemite Sam?!



  47. Gabriel on October 10, 2022 at 5:41 am

    He’s such a lovely actor, I’m so happy he’s getting more recognition.



  48. T Tlt on October 10, 2022 at 5:43 am

    I really had never heard of him,,he was just ok I guess 😮



  49. Ashley Blanco on October 10, 2022 at 5:44 am

    CONSTANT VIGILANCE!!



  50. in my opinion on October 10, 2022 at 5:45 am
