Steve Carell fans may be nervous about the actor's recent turn in serious dramas, but a promo for his Saturday Night Live hosting gig shows that he still has comedy in his blood.
In a teaser for Saturday's show, Aidy Bryant and Chris Redd ask Carell if he's still capable of comedy. He assures them that, as a Serious Actor™, he can prepare for any role.
What follows is a classic actorly montage of Carell reading books, talking to a mirror, practicing, pacing, and pulling out pages of notebook paper in frustration as he prepares. When the time comes to hear about his sketch character, Dr. Farts, he's finally ready.
Carell hosts SNL with musical guest Ella Mai on Nov. 17.
