Things get weird when you can't sleep. So weird, that Willem Dafoe shows up in infomercials and your dreams. Check out this musical SNL sketch:

Willem Dafoe took to Studio 8H at Rockefeller Center to host Saturday Night Live and did not disappoint. The Lighthouse star hosted alongside musical guest Katy Perry and filled our night with weird sketches that we now get to think about for the rest of time. And so many of the jokes were about Dafoe and sex-adjacent things. It was glorious. Including one about the inability to fall asleep called "Now I'm Up.

There are some nights when you're up and you just can't seem to stay asleep. You either worry about something or can't get comfortable and now there's a song for that! In "Now I'm Up," we get to see everything from worrying about a lump on your body and heading to WebMD or watching an infomercial, which leads to the host dancing in a fedora in your dreams. To be honest, I would love for dream Dafoe in a fedora to sing me to sleep.

Is this one of the Saturday Night Live greats to add to our playlists? Yes, and it is entirely because of Dafoe's weird energy. Check out the sketch below:
