Watch Will Forte in SNL’s ‘Hamilton’ costume toast Seth Meyers’ rehearsal dinner

Weddings can be stressful, but they can also be fun – especially when an unpredictable Saturday Night Live The character crashes to give a speech.

How to watch

Regard Late Night with Seth Meyers on NBC weekdays at 12:35/11:35c and the next day on Peacock.

That’s what happened to Seth Meyers when Will Forte unexpectedly made a toast at the rehearsal dinner for his wedding to Alexi Ashe in September 2013. Forte expressed his feelings for the couple not as himself, but as his deeply strange SNL Character Hamilton Whiteman.

When Forte came to visit Late Night with Seth Meyers In February 2015, Meyers called Hamilton one of his “personal favorites” among Forte’s characters from his time on the sketch show.

“For those who have forgotten, tell us a little bit about Hamilton Whiteman, because he was an interesting guy,” Meyers told Forte, who explained that Hamilton could be described as “very narrow-minded,” to say the least.

“I would say he says very offensive things. In general, he’s a pretty bad guy,” Meyers said.

“A villain with a heart of gold,” Forte added. Hamilton’s most recent appearance was during Kristen Wiig’s April 6, 2024 SNL Consequence.

“Anyway, at my rehearsal dinner, people made toasts… of course we hadn’t invited Hamilton Whiteman, but he showed up,” Meyers said. He then showed the clip of Hamilton’s extremely offensive speech.

Will Forte burst into Seth Meyers’ wedding when his SNL Character Hamilton

In the video, Forte is actually dressed as Hamilton, sporting the character’s signature blonde bowl cut and aviator sunglasses. He stands in front of Meyers and his future wife Alexi Ashe and describes the couple as “a match made in hell.”

From there, the definitely not-work-appropriate speech gets even more awkward, as Hamilton can’t understand why Ashe would be with Meyers. But the clip ends with Hamilton admitting that their match somehow “works.”

This wasn’t the first time Forte gave an uncomfortable wedding toast while dressed as Hamilton Whiteman. He also gave one in a skit from Season 34, Episode 11, hosted by Hugh Laurie.

“The best part was that you walked away after you did that. (Andy) Samberg got married three weeks later. He immediately ran over and said you had to do that at his wedding,” Meyers said. “And if you thought I had it bad…”

“It was an honor to be part of your wedding and it was a great weekend,” said the MacGruber Star told Meyers.

“It was about a six-minute toast, and that was about the only 30 seconds we could show on television,” Meyers noted.
