Billy Crystal Doing A Bunch Of Edibles Before An MRI To "Feel Fabulous" Is Such A Power Move

NY Post- The “When Harry Met Sally” star was vying for a little self-medication before undergoing an anxiety-inducing MRI tube test during a recent health scare.

However, Crystal, 73, got more than he bargained for when he realized the meds — actually cannabis infused gummies — had more than the desired effect.

“I’m very claustrophobic, which is why I was a month premature,” the longtime Oscars host revealed Wednesday on the “Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” by Zoom call. “To make a long story short, when I was alone, I swallowed four edibles.”

The “Saturday Night Live” alum continued: “The guy at the cannabis place said — because there’s a section for seniors — ‘two will make you feel good.’ So I said, ‘I really want to feel fabulous,'” invoking the catchphrase of his iconic “SNL” character, Fernando.

Crystal then explained that 30 minutes into the procedure, he got an attack of the munchies and asked his doc where he could get some good ol’ fashioned fast food. He asked if the medical crew could get him Taco Bell and Postmates him some “gumbo, or Nutella French toast.”

The “City Slickers” star added that he was finally able to fall asleep in the machine. “They take me out, and I walk out of the building and someone says, ‘Um, sir, you’re still in your gown. And your ass is hanging out,’” Crystal joked. “So I came back in, I got dressed, and I went to Taco Bell and had a nacho fry box.”

Billy boy! What a fucking idea. The idea to take edibles before an MRI is something so genius I'm not surprised a fellow Long Islander like Billy Crystal was the man to think of it. We're just built different, ya know. I'm absolutely not a weed guy by any means (probably have done less than 20 weeds in my lifetime) but I would 100% do this if I was ever doing another MRI. I had my first one recently actually so if you've had one you know the fucking struggle that it is to stay calm in there basically laying like you're in a coffin and to the folks that have never had one before...BE THANKFUL.

And how about Mr. Crystal going all out? The guy at the Cannabis store told him 2 would make his elderly ass feel great and my man went for 4! 4! That's a brave man that's simply afraid of MRI's. And when you take 4 edibles those munchies sure are gonna kick right in. Back to my own experiences I did an edible one (1) time in college in preparation of watching the lego movie & I wound up instantly asleep with a bacon jalapeno pizza from Pizza Hut waiting at my door. Even I'd say that's disgusting.

It sounds like Billy had something similar. Never again in your life will you hear someone request Taco Bell, Nutella French Toast, and gumbo. Fucking gumbo! The New Orleans stew delicacy that is to die for though what a request coming out from the MRI machine. And imagine seeing Billy Crystal roaming the streets with his ass still out in this medical gown? Amazing. To drop a fire fucking quote from one of Billy Crystal's greatest works right....I'LL HAVE WHAT HE'S HAVING.
