Kenan Thompson and Noel Wells played two homeless people reminiscing about what happened, which led to Miley‘s performance at this year’s MTV Video Music Awards.

Miley was joined backstage at the show by “Old Miley” (being played by Vanessa Bayer), who warned her that she shouldn’t be doing what she was about to do on stage. She was then joined by Robin Thicke (played by Taran Killam) and Will Smith (played by Jay Pharaoh), who said he was looking forward to a G-rated performance he could watch with his kids.

The Arizona State vs. Notre Dame college football game that aired on the network this evening ran about twenty-four minutes late and ended up delaying the rest of the evening’s schedule.
