Following his hilarious guest appearance on 30 Rock this week, Al Gore dropped in on Saturday Night Live to chat up the climate crisis and his new book “Our Choice”.

Gore appeared in two skits — a Weekend Update bit and my personal new favorite “What’s Up With That”; a faux talkshow for BET that interrupts guests with crazy 70′s-style jams and singing. It’s brilliant.

On Weekend Update, Gore revealed that his future activism is “going to get a little crazy” if his green message keeps falling on deaf ears. Animal rights activists will also be happy to hear that he ended the skit by decrying factory farming and urging more sustainable agriculture. Check them both out below:
