After the anchors congratulated the actor on his Oscar win, McConaughey responded in true McConaughey form, "Don't congratulate me, congratulate the man I was a week ago. Congratulate the man I'm chasing."

McConaughey then continued to talk about "True Detective," his family, and career - all while making absolutely zero sense. Watch Killam's incredible impression below:

Cecily Strong then interviewed "Vladimir Putin's best friends from growing up," expertly played by Vanessa Bayer and Fred Armisen, who made a return cameo.

While they first tried to defend their friend by saying, "He's a great guy, he makes us laugh, he likes to hang out and talk," the two quickly change their tune, explaining "I will say, I wish when he invited us to things, he didn't invite, like, all of his other friends."
