He has also hosted Saturday Night Live and appeared as a guest co-host on Live with Regis and Kelly.He voiced the character Crash in Ice Age: The Meltdown and reprised his role in its sequel Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs (2009) and Ice Age: Continental Drift (2012). He co-starred in the action comedy Cop Out. In 2011 he starred in the sports comedy film Goon as Doug 'The Thug' Glatt. In 2012, he starred in Movie 43 in the segment 'Happy Birthday. He reprised his role as 'Steve Stifler in 2012 American Reunion. On October 2, 2013, Scott guest-starred in Episode 5, Season 9 (entitled "Mac Day") of the FX television series It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, playing Mac's cousin, "Country Mac." In 2014 he starred in the comedy-drama film, Just Before I Go as Ted Morgan. He reprises his role as Doug 'The Thug' Glatt in Goon: Last of the Enforcers and Crash in Ice Age: Collision Course.

Personal life

On March 16, 2011, Scott was admitted to a treatment facility for "health and personal issues". His representatives declined to confirm any details about the decision, including specifying the facility. On April 13, it was reported that Scott had successfully completed the treatment program.
