"It was like getting slapped in the face with a giant Wang and so now I'm back," Mango -- sorry, The Mango -- tells a pair of over-eager fashion bloggers in a new video for T By Alexander Wang. Chris Kattan's beloved late-'90s/early-'00s SNL character made a triumphant return "from the Arctic" to star in the clip and prance down the red carpet with the designer at the CFDA Awards and it's like time stood still. The beret, the paunch, the spit curls -- it's all there and more.
This isn't the first time Wang's resurrected a sketch show character from the 2000s: a year and a half ago he recruited Madtv's Bon Qui Qui to star in another video that also featured A$AP Rocky, Simon Doonan, Alessanda Ambrosio and Natasha Lyonne. This go-round, the designer fleshes out the cast with appearances from model (and Adam Levine fiancée) Behati Prinsloo, Derek Blasberg, Sean Avery and Real Housewife Sonja Morgan and, of course, everyone wants The Mango. Watch the video, above.
