Jim Breuer stopped by to promote his upcoming comedy gigs and Howard asked him about the origin of one of his most famous characters, Goat Boy on “Saturday Night Live.”
The Birth of Goat Boy
Jim told the crew how he used to get stoned and go to the zoo and cry at the gorilla cage and laugh at the goats: “So when I went to ‘SNL,’ I pitched a character where a guy has Tourette’s but it comes out like a goat, and the more he drinks, the more the goat comes out … so the original [“Goat Boy”] sketch was a guy who goes to a party and has a drink and says, ‘So I’m from Long Isla-eheheheheheh!'”
