The premise
Here’s the bit.
Gumby interrupts Colin Jost and Michael Che at the news desk, furious that Eddie Murphy’s comeback show has left him waiting in the wings. Claiming credit for Murphy’s fame and SNL’s survival, he turns the visit into a roast of the anchors. Attempts to calm him down lead to complaints about smoking, a pointed answer about Pokey and a muddled compliment for Lizzo. He announces his departure, then lingers for more attention.

Highly quotable.
I am Gumby, dammit!
Because your jokes don't have legs, you schmucks.
Both of you together couldn't Velcro my sneakers.
