The Efron hosted Saturday Night Live over the weekend (as well as appearing on Letterman, The View (BUUUKKKAAWWWWK!) and attending the LA premiere of 17 Again) and had quite the opening monologue. Kudos could be given if he'd come up with this himself, but chances are he was just reading it fresh off the autocue:
"Tonight is very important to me because I get to reach out to a with new audience. But first, if you don't mind, I'd like to say something first to the fans who brought me here. Hey tweens, Zac Efron here. I just wanted to take a moment in the show to say hi to you guys. And by guys, I mean girls. Because let's face it, tweens, I owe you big time. If it weren't for you, I'd just be some random college student instead of a college-aged man pretending to be a high school student. Plus, I want to thank you for the financial support. True, your parents gave me that money. But you gave me something even more valuable: your attention. And if someone can keep a tween's attention for more than five minutes, parents will pay that person all of their disposable income. So thank you."
