The producers wanted to include Tom in some capacity in the show so they turned to Ben and asked him to play ‘Tom Cruise’ as the former’s body double in the comedy sketch.
MTV producer Joel Gillen knew that Night at the Museum The actor was on his honeymoon, but he still gave her a chance and sent an email to Stiller requesting her to come back soon.
“I wrote Ben an email: ‘I know it’s your honeymoon and all but what if you come back two days early? What do you think,'” Joel wrote.
The comedian, without a second thought, returned from his vacation.
