Who better to helm Peacock’s first-ever live comedy special than Saturday Night Live stars Colin Jost and Michael Che? The live taping of Colin Jost And Michael Che Presents: New York After Dark streamed last night from Brooklyn’s The Bell House and featured special drop-in guests such Impractical Jokers star Sal Vulcano, comic legend Mike Birbigila, and SNL‘s Sarah Sherman. In addition to the special guests, Jost and Che put together a stellar line-up of comedians including Alex English, Aida Rodriguez, Aminah Imani and Carlos Miller, who kept the audiences in stitches with their killer sets.

In case you haven’t gotten a chance to stream the special yet, we have an exclusive clip of the show’s cold open. As Jost and Che approach the comedy venue, they run into the iconic Tracy Morgan waiting outside with a smile and a slash that reads “Brooklyn Ambassador.” “Did you make that slash yourself?” asks Jost incredulously. “Of course not,” replies Morgan. “I just call Pharrell up, and he makes slashes on demand!”

Before he can let the duo pass, Morgan offers Jost and Che a “Brooklyn toast,” which consists of two 40oz cans of malt liquor wrapped in brown paper bags. After inspecting the offering, Che exclaims in disgust: “It’s half empty.” Sniffing the bags, Host observes: “Smells like gasoline.” “Y’all want too much for two dollars,” replies Morgan in frustration.

“You gonna do the show or what?” asks Che. “I can’t, my borough needs me,” says Morgan, checking out a woman as she walks by. “Treat Brooklyn the way I would, haul yourself up, get it nice and wet,” says Morgan. Thankfully, Jost and Che stop him before he can continue.

“Fellas, Brooklyn is where hopes and dreams come true,” Morgan says on an earnest note. About to be swept up by his kind words, Jost and Che quickly realize that Morgan has no idea what streaming first they are about to embark on when Morgan adds. “That’s why it’s the perfect place for you guys to be hosting the Olympics tonight.” “You think we’re hosting the Olympics tonight?” asks Jost in disbelief.

“Didn’t Peacock just host the Olympics?” asks Morgan. “I need that Snoop money.” “It’s just a stand-up show,” replies Che in annoyance. “You can’t make no money doing that,” exclaims Morgan. When Jost asks what Morgan plans to do instead of being on the show, Morgan pokes fun at himself in classic fashion. “I’m gonna wait in the road so another truck can come out and hit me,” says Morgan, referencing his near-fatal car accident from 2014. “Gonna make my next billion…y’all wanna come?”

Luckily for them (and us!), Jost and Che choose to do the show instead. Make sure to stream the comedy special in its entirety on Peacock!
