Lauer was ending his interview with Carrey and Tina Fey, when Carrey jumped in, saying: “Can I ask you a question, you guys? Where are you hiding Brian Williams? Where is he?” Lauer, visibly uncomfortable, looked at his wrist and said, “Oh, look at the time”—but Carrey continued: “I just want to say something in his defense: If the helicopter in front of me gets hit, I’m taking the story.” Lauer put an end to the interview then, saying, “Thank you, Jim.” It wasn’t the only time NBC’s [disgraced anchor](http://www.ew.com/article/2015/02/10/brian-williams-suspended-six-months) came up during the red carpet special. While talking to Carson Daly, Rudy Giuliani also mentioned Williams. The ex-New York City mayor recalled responding to a question from Lorne Michaels—”Can we be funny?”—during _SNL_’s first post-9/11 episode. Giuliani replied by saying, “Why start now?” “I want to make sure, Brian Williams, and all this stuff, I want to make sure you understand that was his line,” Giuliani said, referring to Michaels. “He wrote it. I read it. I was not smart enough to have that line.” [_This article originally appeared on EW.com_](http://www.ew.com/article/2015/02/15/jim-carrey-questions-matt-lauer-about-brian-williams-snl-40th-red-carpet) ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3710704/saturday-night-live-snl-brian-williams-jim-carrey-matt-lauer/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3710704/saturday-night-live-snl-brian-williams-jim-carrey-matt-lauer/"},"headline":"Jim Carrey Questions Matt Lauer About Brian Williams on 'SNL' 40th Anniversary Red Carpet","datePublished":"2015-02-16T03:13:25.000Z","dateModified":"2026-08-04T07:59:55.091Z","description":"Jim Carrey decided to make things awkward during his interview with Matt Lauer on the red carpet for Saturday Night Live’s 40th anniversary show by...","url":"https://time.com/3710704/saturday-night-live-snl-brian-williams-jim-carrey-matt-lauer/","keywords":["celebrities"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt353936fccc5f2558/69877f6a2dce017a6f9dd905/475476617.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Esther Zuckerman / Entertainment Weekly"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt353936fccc5f2558/69877f6a2dce017a6f9dd905/475476617.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"The David Lynch Foundation Honors Rick Rubin","caption":"The David Lynch Foundation Honors Rick Rubin","creditText":"Kevin Winter—Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/celebrities/","name":"celebrities"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3710704/saturday-night-live-snl-brian-williams-jim-carrey-matt-lauer/","name":"Jim Carrey Questions Matt Lauer About Brian Williams on 'SNL' 40th Anniversary Red Carpet"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"Watch Jim Carrey Impersonate Matthew McConaughey on SNL's 40th Anniversary Special","description":"Jim Carrey shows up on SNL Celebrity Jeopardy in character as Matthew McConaughey with deep voice over and intense eye-contact.","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/IZQ4znQN/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2015-02-16T02:47:09.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/IZQ4znQN.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/3710704/saturday-night-live-snl-brian-williams-jim-carrey-matt-lauer/","duration":"PT30S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/3710704/saturday-night-live-snl-brian-williams-jim-carrey-matt-lauer/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}}] ```
