<P> The show opens with Cole singing the show's lengthy theme song, "What Up with That". Cole welcomes the viewers to the show but his introduction to the show's topic generally leads into an encore of the theme song . Once the encore is finished he then introduces the show's three guests, the third always being Bill Hader playing Fleetwood Mac guitarist Lindsey Buckingham . As soon as the first guest begins talking, Cole echoes their comments in a sing - song manner (often disrupting them), eventually leaping back up to begin singing the theme song yet again . In this manner, the encore performances completely take up the show's time, and the other two guests do not get to speak (although Robin Williams did have a couple of lines in the December 4, 2010 episode, as well as Kate Upton in the February 18, 2012 episode), including Lindsey Buckingham, who, according to Cole, has attended dozens of times without getting interviewed but still remains a good sport . </P> <P> In the May 14, 2011 episode, both the Bill Hader impersonation and the real Lindsey Buckingham appeared . The opening guest was that week's SNL musical guest, Paul Simon, who opened his interview by complaining about how Diondre invites Buckingham each week, but never gives him a chance to talk . While Hader's impersonation had no lines once again, the real Buckingham played guitar and spoke up for him . </P> <P> In a backstage clip from the show on February 18, 2012, Cole lets Buckingham (Hader) list the US Presidents and their birthdays . This marked the first time that Hader's Buckingham ever received an opportunity to speak . </P> <P> In the December 15, 2012, episode, Samuel L. Jackson said "fuck" and "bullshit" on the live broadcast, prompting Cole to respond with "Come on, Sam...that costs money ." </P>

Snl what's up with that al gore
