Hey!! Whereâs my Tonight Show with Adam Birkholtz AU????Â
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
itâs 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 heâs 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, HEâS 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 jackâs got a singer/songwriter/aka Hozier vibe, kent is pure pop, ransom has a pop/r&b vibe. tater runs the label theyâre 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 itâs a really top notch musical performance because theyâre both great singers so holster does more than just say âsoul manâ in the background and ransom breaks out some choreo from his boyband days
all in all itâs a huge hit because lbr it would be hilarious
When Ransom releases his next album he comes back to host and thatâs when things really pick up
he does sketches with other cast members but itâs 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 HolsterÂ
Meanwhile, itâs super fucking obvious that Ransom and Holster are friends outside of this. Theyâre always on each otherâs instagrams, TMZ spots them together, they sing Dick in a Box at one of Ransomâs showsÂ
Then Holster leaves SNL to host The Tonight Show and SURPRISE, Ransom is his first guestÂ
sidenote!! Holster does the celebrity games with his guests and music is HUGE so you bet your ass wheel of musical impressions is utilizedÂ
he does an AMAZING Ransom impression that only a few people have seen but most people have heard about and itâs the stuff of mysteriesÂ
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 itâs affected his life and itâs an interesting shift because itâs a serious interview in the midst of this fun quirky showÂ
again, Ransom and Holster are still plastered all over each others social media and do Bro BikingÂ
When Holster hosts the Golden Globes this happens pretty much verbatim
Then, one week, Ransomâs on the show even when he doesnât have an album coming out. everyoneâs interest is piqued because thereâs no actual reason for ransom to be there so they assume theyâre 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?Â
The crowd: âŠâŠâŠâŠâŠâŠ.???
R: thanks, Iâm really happy, I know I hadnât formally announced that I was even dating anyone, but Iâve been in a relationship for years and Iâve wanted to marry them pretty much since the day we metÂ
H: you know, this is pretty crazy. I also got married this weekend.Â
The crowd: ?!!?!?!?!?!?!!!!!
H: do you want to see a wedding pictureÂ
then a picture of them under the huppah appearsÂ
SURPRISE MOTHERFUCKERS, THEYâVE BEEN IN LOVE THE ENTIRE GODDAMN TIMEÂ
after that they donât perform Motherlover in public anymore because itâs kind of weird but you bet your ASS they do Dick in a Box and The Golden Rule every chance they get
