STAGE TUBE: Broadway-Bound James Franco Gives OF MICE AND MEN New Ending on SNL!

By:



As BroadwayWorld previously reprted, James Franco revealed on last night's THE COLBERT REPORT on Comedy Central that he will soon be coming to the Broadway stage in a revival of 'Of Mice and Men'- but this won't be the first time that he has taken on the role of 'George.' When Franco hosted SNL back in 2008, he starred in a hilarious sketch revolving around the classic Steinbeck work alongside Bobby Moynihan.

Check out their hilarious alternate ending below!

"We're going to do 'Of Mice and Men' on Broadway," shared the actor adding, "I'm going to play George." He then joked with Colbert, "There's a character Slim, we haven't cast it yet. You can do it. You can nail it!" Replied the host, "Is it a big time committment cause I got this show to do!"
