I’m gonna out Kevin Costner right now. He’s one of the funniest people I’ve ever been around.
The comedian went on and shared some funny incidents he had with Costner, including the time the latter was telling a story ofThe Postmanin an eight-minute epic narration. Cook ultimately told the outlet what a shame it is that theHorizonstar never did any guesting atSaturday Night Live.
He won’t do it. I don’t know if it’s fear so much as he’s like, ‘I just don’t know if they’ll write the right characters.’ But on set, he’ll act out voices and become different people. ‘This guy one time…’ He’s such a laidback guy, but very, very, very funny.
Chris Evans, on the other hand, clearly knows that he’s not for the comedy show. In an interview withET CanadaviaIndependent, he admitted, “I’ve avoided hosting SNL like the plague for years now just because I’m so scared.
