Kieran Culkin's 'SNL' monologue includes a perfect throwback featuring brother Macaulay
Watch Next

Your favorite slime puppy hosted SNL Saturday night, and the actor behind "one of the nicer characters on the show" immediately pointed out how much this moment meant to him.

Not just because it's a big career achievement but because, as Kieran Culkin explains in the above monologue, 30 years ago he appeared in a few sketches when his brother Macaulay hosted the show. Cue the adorable tape.

Naturally, the internet dug up some more footage from the childhood appearance. It's just the kind of thing Roman Roy would roll his eyes at — but we think it's pretty dang sweet. Bonus: Yes, at the end of the night he was lifted up in the air.
