тАЬI havenтАЩt met him yet. IтАЩm having dinner with him tonight and Lorne [Michaels],тАЭ Davidson told him, тАЬso I will meet him. IтАЩm really excited. IтАЩm going to ask him for a Tesla or some s**t.тАЭ
He even imagined how exactly he would pop the question.
тАЬBe like, тАШHey, MotherтАЩs Day is coming up. My mom, you know, it would be cool,’тАЭ Davidson joked.
But Meyers then pointed out that after asking for the Tesla as a MotherтАЩs Day gift, he might actually feel obligated to give the car to his mom.
тАЬWell, I would disguise it as a gift for my mom, so he gives it and then, as soon as she drives it once or twice, I would take it,тАЭ Davidson laughed.
When asked if he would go to space with Musk, Davidson responded, тАЬ100 per cent.тАЭ
The comedian also addressed some of the controversy over MuskтАЩs hosting gig, telling Meyers, тАЬThat guyтАЩs a genius. I donтАЩt know why people are freaking out. TheyтАЩre like, тАШI canтАЩt believe that Elon Musk is hosting.тАЩ And IтАЩm like, тАШThe guy that makes the Earth better kind of, makes cool things and sends people to Mars?’тАЭ

Davidson also talked about his phone call with Eminem after doing a parody on тАЬSNLтАЭ of the rapperтАЩs song тАЬStanтАЭ.
тАЬIt went, I think, as good as it could go,тАЭ the comedian recalled. тАЬThose [sketches] were written by the great Dan Bulla and Steven CastilloтАФgreat тАШSNLтАЩ writersтАФand [Chris] Redd. Eminem said a couple nice things about me and I, of course, heard them and I reached out. I was like, тАШI would just like to say thank you,тАЩ and I just hit him up and said тАШThanks.тАЩ
тАЬHe was like, тАШYeah, man, you really did that. When I saw тАШStuтАЩ on script, I didnтАЩt know how it was gonna go. But after you did that, it was fire.тАЩ And I was like, тАШOh, thank you so much, youтАЩre the coolest,тАЩ and then I just hung up as quick as possible. ThatтАЩs all you need. You donтАЩt wanna, like, anything more.тАж Get out as soon as you can.тАЭ
Elon Musk will be joined by musical guest Miley Cyrus on the May 8 edition of тАЬSaturday Night LiveтАЭ, airing at 11:30 p.m. ET/8:30 p.m. PT on Global.
