Monologue: Catherine O'Hara

Catherine O’Hara opens her Halloween monologue with an arrow through her head, claiming she misunderstood the trick behind Steve Martin’s familiar prop. After tending to the supposed wound, she shares a scary story her father told her and her siblings as children. A stranger watches him on a late bus ride, follows him off the bus and pursues him to the family home. His attempt to confront the stranger turns into a defiant gesture at the window, producing an insult that leaves young Mary Margaret confused about why she has become the target. Catherine then introduces the evening’s musical guest and the rest of the show.
