The episode welcomes the return of the “Two Neil Youngs” bit. In this specific bit, those “Two Neil Youngs” are “On A Tree Stump.”
Those familiar with the bit know that one of those “Neil Youngs” is the actual, iconic musician Neil Young. The other is host Jimmy Fallon serving up his excellent Neil Young impression.
