Niall Horan Reads 'Twas the Night Before Christmas in Seven Different Accents

  • 0:00 - 0:01
    I thought I'd do something
    with you
  • 0:01 - 0:03
    because
    you're always fun
  • 0:03 - 0:04
    and we have fun
    every time you come on here.
  • 0:04 - 0:06
    But you do a lot of great
    different accents,
  • 0:06 - 0:08
    and I wanted to challenge you
    to something fun.
  • 0:08 - 0:09
    So here's what I'd like you
    to do here.
  • 0:09 - 0:12
    This is a book right here.
    It's a beautiful book.
  • 0:12 - 0:13
    A leather-bound book.
  • 0:13 - 0:15
    Yes, this is from
    my home collection.
  • 0:15 - 0:16
    [ Laughter ]
  • 0:16 - 0:18
    This is the classic poem
    "'Twas the Night Before Christmas."
  • 0:18 - 0:20
    Oh, okay.
  • 0:20 - 0:21
    And what I thought you could
    do is maybe, as you're reading,
  • 0:21 - 0:23
    a different accent will come up
    on the screen there.
  • 0:23 - 0:25
    Okay.
    And when the bell rings,
  • 0:25 - 0:27
    you change and read
    the book in that accent.
  • 0:27 - 0:28
    [ Laughter ]
  • 0:28 - 0:30
    Could you do that, maybe?
    I'll give it a go, yeah.
  • 0:30 - 0:34
    Yeah. I also have a nice,
    festive scarf
  • 0:34 - 0:36
    I can place upon you.
  • 0:36 - 0:40
    [ Cheers and applause ]
  • 0:40 - 0:41
    Yeah. And then -
  • 0:41 - 0:43
    Ten points for Gryffindor.
  • 0:43 - 0:45
    [ Laughter and applause ]
  • 0:45 - 0:47
    Yeah. All right.
    All right. There you go.
  • 0:47 - 0:50
    So, that's it.
    It's all nice and festive.
  • 0:50 - 0:51
    [ Clears throat ]
    Now here we go.
  • 0:51 - 0:52
    [ Both clear throat ]
    You can start reading
  • 0:52 - 0:55
    with the first accent
    that appears on the screen.
  • 0:55 - 0:57
    Ruth, can we get some
    sleigh bells maybe?
  • 0:57 - 0:58
    Scot-
  • 0:58 - 0:59
    Aww.
    Scottish.
  • 0:59 - 1:02
    Aw. That's cute.
    Scottish. Okay.
  • 1:02 - 1:04
    [ Scottish accent ]
    'Twas the night before Christmas,
  • 1:04 - 1:08
    when all through the house,
    not a creature was stirring,
  • 1:08 - 1:10
    not even a wee, little moose."
  • 1:10 - 1:13
    [ Laughter ]
    [ Bell dings ]
  • 1:13 - 1:14
    A moose.
  • 1:14 - 1:15
    [ Russian accent ]
    "Stockings were hung
  • 1:15 - 1:17
    by the chimney with care,
  • 1:17 - 1:20
    in hopes that St. Nicholas
    soon arrives."
  • 1:20 - 1:24
    [ Bell dings ]
    [ Laughter ]
  • 1:24 - 1:25
    Spanish.
  • 1:25 - 1:27
    [ Spanish accent ]
    "The children were very, very happy."
  • 1:27 - 1:34
    [ Laughter and applause ]
  • 1:34 - 1:36
    Oh, my God.
    Oh, oh, Please, please -
  • 1:36 - 1:37
    [ Clears throat ]
  • 1:37 - 1:40
    [ Laughs ]
    This is my turn, okay?
  • 1:40 - 1:41
    Oh, yeah,
    sorry, sorry.
  • 1:41 - 1:43
    [ Spanish accent ]
    "The children were very, very happy,
  • 1:43 - 1:47
    all snug in their beds,
    while visions of sugarplums
  • 1:47 - 1:50
    danced in their cabeza."
  • 1:50 - 1:51
    [ Laughter ]
    [ Bell dings ]
  • 1:51 - 1:52
    Cabeza?
  • 1:52 - 1:54
    [ Rural American accent ]
    "And Mom in her kerchief
  • 1:54 - 1:57
    and I in my cap...
    [ Laughter ]
  • 1:57 - 2:00
    had just kicked back for
    a little catnap."
  • 2:00 - 2:02
    [ Laughter ]
    [ Bell dings ]
  • 2:02 - 2:05
    Whoo!
    [ Cheering and laughter ]
  • 2:05 - 2:07
    [ French accent ]
    "When out of the roof,
  • 2:07 - 2:10
    there arose such a clatter.
  • 2:10 - 2:15
    I sprang from my bed to see -
    how you say, uh...
  • 2:15 - 2:17
    what was the matter?"
    [ Laughter ]
  • 2:17 - 2:19
    [ Bell dings ]
  • 2:19 - 2:21
    "It was freakin' Santa Claus!"
  • 2:21 - 2:23
    [ Laughter and applause ]
  • 2:23 - 2:25
    Oh, my God.
  • 2:25 - 2:29
    "It was Santa Claus,
    with his little round belly
  • 2:29 - 2:32
    that jiggled when he walked
    and talked
  • 2:32 - 2:35
    like a bowl full of spaghetti."
  • 2:35 - 2:37
    [ Laughter ]
    [ Bell dings ]
  • 2:37 - 2:38
    [ Australian accent ]
    "And I heard him exclaim
  • 2:38 - 2:40
    as he drove out of sight,
  • 2:40 - 2:43
    Merry Christmas to all
    and good day, mate."
  • 2:43 - 2:47
    Oh, my gosh!
    [ Cheers and applause ]
  • 2:47 - 2:49
    Wow!
    [ Cheering continues ]
  • 2:49 - 2:51
    Niall Horan,
    everybody.
  • 2:51 - 2:53
    Look at - they're
    on their feet, buddy.
  • 2:53 - 2:55
    Oh.
    Niall Horan.
  • 2:55 - 2:58
    Check him out on
    "Saturday Night Live" this weekend.
  • 2:58 - 3:01
