"I don't think we thought this through," Affleck says while holding up a star ornament to place at the top."You just gotta believe," Chance replies.

After Affleck calls the ladder a "foot stool," Chance gets offended and jokes, "I'm not gonna listen to any more slander about this ladder. You know what this ladder means to me."

The pair are set to appear on the long-running sketch comedy show on Dec. 17 with Affleck hosting and Chance performing as the musical guest.
