Hey!! Whereās my Tonight Show with Adam Birkholtz AU????Ā
So Holster gets his start on SNL and immediately becomes the Musical Impression guy. The running gag is that he impersonates people he looks nothing like but somehow everyone knows EXACTLY who he is
itās eerie, almost, and people assume that someone else is doing the impersonation and they just dub his voice in so one night for the cold open he has to run through every impersonation heās done on the show just to prove he can do it
think of him kind of like jimmy fallon mixed with andy samberg because YOU GUESSED IT he does lonely island-esque shorts
Then, one fateful week, Justin Oluransi, grammy award winner and overall beautiful man, performs his newest single (THATS RIGHT, HEāS A NON APPROPRIATIVE JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE)
He was 100000% in a pop boyband with Jack, Kent, and Tater when they were teenagers
they all went solo after ~drama~ occurred and jackās got a singer/songwriter/aka Hozier vibe, kent is pure pop, ransom has a pop/r&b vibe. tater runs the label theyāre all signed to.
Musical guests will sometimes do a sketch so Ransom and Holster do a Blues Brothers homage
ransom is belushi (complete with cartwheel)
holster is aykroyd (complete with dancing)
the big difference is that itās a really top notch musical performance because theyāre both great singers so holster does more than just sayĀ āsoul manā in the background and ransom breaks out some choreo from his boyband days
all in all itās a huge hit because lbr it would be hilarious
When Ransom releases his next album he comes back to host and thatās when things really pick up
he does sketches with other cast members but itās clear that he and holster have this incredible chemistry
they sing Dick in a Box and the world is forever changed
Ransom just kind of keeps showing up a la Justin Timberlake? Like he appears throughout the seasons to continue the Motherlover/3-Way: The Golden Rule (with Lardo as lady gaga) trilogy and is consistently in sketches with HolsterĀ
Meanwhile, itās super fucking obvious that Ransom and Holster are friends outside of this. Theyāre always on each otherās instagrams, TMZ spots them together, they sing Dick in a Box at one of Ransomās showsĀ
Then Holster leaves SNL to host The Tonight Show and SURPRISE, Ransom is his first guestĀ
sidenote!! Holster does the celebrity games with his guests and music is HUGE so you bet your ass wheel of musical impressions is utilizedĀ
he does an AMAZING Ransom impression that only a few people have seen but most people have heard about and itās the stuff of mysteriesĀ
Jack even agrees to come on the show because Ransom is there and they have a little reunion performance of their boiband hitz
then, in the interview with holster jack actually talks about anxiety and how itās affected his life and itās an interesting shift because itās a serious interview in the midst of this fun quirky showĀ
again, Ransom and Holster are still plastered all over each others social media and do Bro BikingĀ
When Holster hosts the Golden Globes this happens pretty much verbatim
Then, one week, Ransomās on the show even when he doesnāt have an album coming out. everyoneās interest is piqued because thereās no actual reason for ransom to be there so they assume theyāre going to do a funny sketch or something just to fill time. then ransom comes out and he sits down for an actual interview.
H: so what did you do this weekend?Ā
The crowd: ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦.???
R: thanks, Iām really happy, I know I hadnāt formally announced that I was even dating anyone, but Iāve been in a relationship for years and Iāve wanted to marry them pretty much since the day we metĀ
H: you know, this is pretty crazy. I also got married this weekend.Ā
The crowd: ?!!?!?!?!?!?!!!!!
H: do you want to see a wedding pictureĀ
then a picture of them under the huppah appearsĀ
SURPRISE MOTHERFUCKERS, THEYāVE BEEN IN LOVE THE ENTIRE GODDAMN TIMEĀ
after that they donāt perform Motherlover in public anymore because itās kind of weird but you bet your ASS they do Dick in a Box and The Golden Rule every chance they get
