The comedian, 46, couldn't help but gush about the recent guest star, who made their SNL debut during the show's 50th anniversary special last month, while chatting exclusively with Parade about his new partnership with Cascade, his career and more.
"We had Meryl Streep, that was incredible. All of a sudden Meryl Streep was just in the building," Thompson tells Parade. "It was like she was one of those unicorn kind of people. I don't know if she'll ever [do] it, but she's a dream host, I'm sure, for so many people."

Streep, 75, made her SNL debut in another "Close Encounter" sketch opposite Kate McKinnon's Colleen Rafferty as her mom, Colleen Rafferty Sr.
In addition to reflecting on working alongside Streep on SNL50, Thompson tells Parade why it was a no-brainer to work with Cascade for the launch of their New & Improved Cascade Platinum Plus — especially since it "takes all the stress out of cleaning up."
"I've always been a big fan of Cascade. I remember using it growing up. They keep leveling up their formulas and now they're almost invincible as far as attacking grease and stains go," he explains. "Dishwasher, technology wise, as far as detergents go, we're pretty much unstoppable now. There's nothing to stop us from getting clean dishes once again, no matter how dirty they were."

"I'm more of a moderate kind of cook, but I do love people that are really, really good at cooking and they really get into the kitchen. [I love] the smells of it all. It just reminds you of the comfort of being surrounded by fam [and] the love of loved ones," he says. "Something about cooking just always calls everybody from different parts of the house to the heart of the house."
