Saturday Night Live <\/em>alum Will Ferrell hosted the season 51 finale.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n When it was time to step out for his opening monologue, Red Hot Chili Peppers drummer Chad Smith came out instead.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n The celebrity doppelg\u00e4ngers were also joined by the night’s musical guest, Paul McCartney.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n Saturday Night Live<\/em><\/a> had fans seeing double during the season 51 finale.<\/p>\n When six-time host Will Ferrell<\/a> stepped out to deliver his monologue, which came shortly after appearing in the show’s cold open as Jeffrey Epstein<\/a>, something seemed just <\/em>a bit off about him. The reason for that? It was actually his longtime look-alike, Red Hot Chili Peppers drummer Chad Smith.<\/p>\n “I’m thrilled to be back here hosting Saturday Night Live,” <\/em>Smith as Ferrell said, to loud cheers and applause from the live studio audience. “I was a cast member here for seven years, and now I’m hosting for a sixth time. It really feels like coming home,” he continued, this time with some knowing laughs sprinkled in with what seemed to be genuine cheers.<\/p>\n That’s when the real deal, clad in the exact same blue suit, popped out from behind the stage door, asking, “What the hell do you think you’re doing?”<\/p>\n After the real Ferrell exposed Smith to the audience, he claimed his doppelg\u00e4nger had “pushed me down backstage, and I fell hard.”<\/p>\n After kicking Smith off the stage, the Anchorman <\/em>actor tried to get things back on track.<\/p>\n “I’m sorry, that was weird, right? That was really weird,” he told the crowd. “You know what, let’s just do a hard reset.”<\/p>\n “Still weird, right? Yeah, I feel off,” he said, stopping himself just a moment later. “Chad Smith, he took the wind out of my sails. This sucks. I don’t even know if we should do the show. That’s where I’m at,” he bemoaned.<\/p>\n The funnyman soon found his groove thanks to an audience question from the show’s actual musical guest, Paul McCartney<\/a>. Smith joined the duo again at the tail end of the monologue to help kick the show to commercial.<\/p>\n This is far from the first time the comedian and rocker have played up their similar appearances. In 2014, they dressed identically on The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon<\/em><\/a> and competed in a drum-off \u2014 complete with some cowbell, of course.<\/p>\n Smith also appeared in last year’s SNL<\/em> doc Beyond Saturday Night<\/em> in an episode dedicated to the fan-favorite “More Cowbell” sketch, pretending to play the real-life inspiration for Ferrell’s character.<\/p>\n
