Michael Keatonis finding out how Beetlejuice would fare onHot Ones.

In the skit, Keaton pulls double duty as himself interviewing his famous poltergeist character. The video opens with a moment of Keaton, in character as Beetlejuice, chugging a bottle of hot sauce.

“Well, hi, first of all, welcome to the show,” Keaton said in the clip, to which Beetlejuice answered, “How long is this gonna take? I gotta get to the spa.”

When Keaton asked Beetlejuice about his influences over the years, he named the 19th-century French emperor Napoleon,Justin Bieberand the ancient Roman emperor Caligula. “Well, Napoleon was a pal. Bieber, of course, for obvious reasons,” he said. “Caligula was a wild man, I gotta say that.”

Beetlejuice showed little interest in introspection when Keaton asked him if he has ever contemplated “the infinite nature of time,” simply stating, “No.”

When asked how he’s enjoying the wings, the ghoul said they were “eerily reminiscent of a guy I ate in Seattle,” as steam began pouring out of his ears and he farted out flames.

“I got a question for you: Who the hell are you?” Beetlejuice asked Keaton as the clip ended.

“It’s the most fun I’ve had on set in a long time," Keaton told PEOPLE of filming the movie back in February. “On one hand, you’d go, ‘Well, of course it’s the most fun. It looks like fun.’ As you know, it doesn’t always work like that."
