Hello, Dana.
0
SPEAKER_02
We d like to tell everyone we are starting with Mikey Day today, who is a present cast member, 10 year vet.
0
SPEAKER_03
We got to know him very well.
0
SPEAKER_03
I might have to say, I don t think we ve ever had a sweeter or nicer person on the podcast.
0
SPEAKER_03
We ve had many, we ve had many sweet and nice ones, but he was incredibly generous and curious about our careers, which was flattering, but also,
0
SPEAKER_03
very self-deprecating, and we go over his tenure on SNL, and he s on there now, and he s got some amazing, what s the pumpkin sketch, what s it called?
0
SPEAKER_02
David S. Pumpkins.
0
SPEAKER_03
Sorry, David S. Pumpkins.
0
SPEAKER_03
He wrote, co-wrote a lot of great sketches on that show.
0
SPEAKER_02
We broke down a few sketches, but mostly talked about the overall feel there.
0
SPEAKER_02
This one was very SNL, and then his co-stars,
0
SPEAKER_02
We talked about us a little bit, which is normal, unfortunately.
0
SPEAKER_03
We kept bringing, you know, you throw a boomerang and it comes back to you.
0
SPEAKER_03
He was curious about us, because he s maybe in the age group when he was like a very small little boy.
0
SPEAKER_03
I was on the show.
0
SPEAKER_02
A baby in a crib watching us.
0
SPEAKER_02
He s the old war horse, or he s the grizzled vet.
0
SPEAKER_03
and he looks pretty good.
0
SPEAKER_02
Yeah, he looks pretty fresh-faced for being a grizzly bear.
0
SPEAKER_02
But I hope everyone enjoys it.
0
SPEAKER_02
We had a great time with him.
0
SPEAKER_02
Here he is, Mikey Day.
0
SPEAKER_01
Oh my God, I m so sorry.
0
SPEAKER_03
Sorry?
0
SPEAKER_03
We ve had this so many times.
0
SPEAKER_03
The worst was Martin Short.
0
SPEAKER_01
I know, but... Not again.
0
SPEAKER_01
It s happening.
0
SPEAKER_01
I m seeing my heroes on screen, and then I m hearing you guys do Lorne, and I m like, I want to participate in this bit, and I can t.
0
SPEAKER_01
I can t get out.
0
SPEAKER_03
Well, where are you?
0
SPEAKER_01
I m in New York.
0
SPEAKER_03
Okay.
0
SPEAKER_01
I m doing this.
0
SPEAKER_01
I was in this very small role in this Jerry Seinfeld movie and Netflix pop tarts.
0
SPEAKER_01
They re doing like a promotion.
0
SPEAKER_01
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
0
SPEAKER_01
They re doing a promotional day.
0
SPEAKER_01
And it s so funny because it s the only day I ve had something.
0
SPEAKER_01
And because I ve
0
SPEAKER_01
It s our two week hiatus.
0
SPEAKER_01
So I ve just been at home.
0
SPEAKER_01
And then of course, the one day that I have this, that I ve been looking forward to, and I like went through all my stuff and my home computer to make sure that I d be good.
0
SPEAKER_01
And then the internet was failing and I was like, Oh God, I see them.
0
SPEAKER_02
That happens to almost every person we do it, so don t worry.
0
SPEAKER_03
We don t need another hero.
0
SPEAKER_03
That s very nice.
0
SPEAKER_03
Can I ask you a question?
0
SPEAKER_03
Pop-tart, like if Jerry did that... Jerry Seinfeld.
0
SPEAKER_03
Did I ever do Jerry Seinfeld s new album?
0
SPEAKER_03
He s coming out, vinyl.
0
SPEAKER_02
Go ahead.
0
SPEAKER_03
It s a vinyl album, comedy album, Jerry Seinfeld, and all it is is a picture of Jerry and it says, paperclips, why?
0
SPEAKER_01
Paperclips, dot, dot, dot.
0
SPEAKER_01
Why?
0
SPEAKER_03
But the thing is, Jerry, as you know, is a technician.
0
SPEAKER_03
He worked on his Pop-Tart bit for years, right?
0
SPEAKER_03
And couldn t quite find the language.
0
SPEAKER_03
I felt like I found almost like an Easter egg of a fatal flaw in the bit.
0
SPEAKER_00
Uh-oh.
0
SPEAKER_03
And this is what it was.
0
SPEAKER_03
Only about the standup, not the movie.
0
SPEAKER_03
That s why I ll be curious if he does the theme.
0
SPEAKER_03
The idea was when Pop-Tarts came, it blew the...
0
SPEAKER_03
Right out of my head, like the kids went, this is crazy.
0
SPEAKER_03
The fatal flaw, because I m in the same age group, they weren t very good.
0
SPEAKER_03
What?
0
SPEAKER_03
Shut the fuck up.
0
SPEAKER_03
No, that was a lot of, you put them in the toaster, very little jam or good stuff, and that was the fatal flaw.
0
SPEAKER_03
He was playing it like the kids were blown away, but no, compared to a Twinkie or Hostess cupcake,
0
SPEAKER_03
They were like- Let s go to the phones.
0
SPEAKER_03
Jerry s on line one right now.
0
SPEAKER_01
I disagree.
0
SPEAKER_01
That s so funny.
0
SPEAKER_03
Yeah, I used to- That s a hot take.
0
SPEAKER_01
I used to eat them plain.
0
SPEAKER_03
Really?
0
SPEAKER_03
But compared to a Hostess pie with the crust around it- Ding dong.
0
SPEAKER_01
Yeah.
0
SPEAKER_01
When I was a kid, those were great.
0
SPEAKER_01
I feel like they re a lot now, but I would, as a kid, would 100% go for Hostess or Twinkie over a Pop-Tart.
0
SPEAKER_03
Yeah, yeah, Pop-Tarts, that s fine.
0
SPEAKER_03
We had them, but I d be curious, because Jerry, the technician, he would have some answer for that.
0
SPEAKER_03
Well, in the Pop-Tart movie, when is it coming out?
0
SPEAKER_03
Let s just promote that.
0
SPEAKER_03
Yeah, why not?
0
SPEAKER_01
Just count it as press.
0
SPEAKER_01
It s in May.
0
SPEAKER_01
I m not here to promote that.
0
SPEAKER_02
That s fine.
0
SPEAKER_02
Throw it in the mix.
0
SPEAKER_01
I don t want you guys to feel like, oh God, he s got to promote his thing.
0
SPEAKER_01
No, promote everything.
0
SPEAKER_01
But it comes out in May.
0
SPEAKER_01
I just found out.
0
SPEAKER_03
No, not at all.
0
SPEAKER_03
No, what we do on this show is we like to, we vet and we shine a light on SNL cast members, such as yourself, because it s kind of fun because we ve been in the maelstrom, we ve been in the war room, we know everything about it and you do too.
0
SPEAKER_03
So, David, do you have a question for Mikey?
0
SPEAKER_03
Yeah, do you know this Seinfeld bit?
0
SPEAKER_02
I was out there.
0
SPEAKER_02
I was out the other night eating at a Chinese restaurant, and we were laughing, it was all comedians, and we were laughing at, when he says, chopsticks, they ve seen the fork.
0
SPEAKER_02
What, why?
0
SPEAKER_02
They ve seen the fork, and they re still sticking, just out of spite, they re still sticking to chopsticks.
0
SPEAKER_02
Very funny, Dana.
0
SPEAKER_01
He s fantastic.
0
SPEAKER_03
Jerry will bludgeon an audience in a good way.
0
SPEAKER_03
He will hit- Bludgeon?
0
SPEAKER_03
He ll go to the grocery store and just go around the store and have these amazing observations.
0
SPEAKER_03
And over time, you re just... My favorite of his was, so the cowboo, they can t get them out of the forest and they wake up and they re hanging from the helicopter.
0
SPEAKER_03
What are they thinking?
0
SPEAKER_03
I guess I can fly now.
0
SPEAKER_03
I m doing, I m doing Ed Wynn as a substitute.
0
SPEAKER_01
I know.
0
SPEAKER_03
And you guys know who Ed Wynn is.
0
SPEAKER_01
Oh, I m thinking of Paul Lynn.
0
SPEAKER_01
Who did Ed Wynn?
0
SPEAKER_03
Ed Wynn was like, from the 1940s, he was kind of chubby, had a little hat on, he d go, whoop-de-doo, whoop-de-doo.
0
SPEAKER_01
Oh, okay, yes, yes, yes, yes.
0
SPEAKER_02
Did I get it?
0
SPEAKER_02
Hey, Mikey, have you heard that when Paul Lynn came into a party,
0
SPEAKER_02
in the 70s, he goes, uh, uh, smells like pussy in here.
0
SPEAKER_02
I think.
0
SPEAKER_02
That s true.
0
SPEAKER_02
I think my friend was there.
0
SPEAKER_01
Wait, did he do the Mad Hatter, Edwin?
0
SPEAKER_02
Oh, he might ve.
0
SPEAKER_01
That was Paul Levin.
0
SPEAKER_02
Yeah, Levin.
0
SPEAKER_03
Yes, Levin.
0
SPEAKER_03
I think Adam Sandler had a little audio influence.
0
SPEAKER_01
Oh yeah.
0
SPEAKER_01
Yeah, in the same frequency. 100%.
0
SPEAKER_01
I can t, I am fascinated.
0
SPEAKER_01
First of all, I love you both, obviously.
0
SPEAKER_01
I m gonna be gross.
0
SPEAKER_01
Thank you, buddy.
0
SPEAKER_03
But I saw- We ll take it, thank you.
0
SPEAKER_01
I saw Clean Slate in the movie theater, Dana.
0
SPEAKER_01
Fuck yeah.
0
SPEAKER_01
94, by myself.
0
SPEAKER_01
I m sorry.
0
SPEAKER_01
And saw, no, I remember enjoying it.
0
SPEAKER_01
And Black Sheep in the movie theater.
0
SPEAKER_01
I mean, Tommy Boy, obviously.
0
SPEAKER_02
You re like, again, no one was there, by myself.
1
SPEAKER_00
Black Sheep was great.
1
SPEAKER_00
Black Sheep was, yeah.
1
SPEAKER_02
I ll tell you about Clean Slate.
1
SPEAKER_02
I didn t really know what I was doing, but anyway, in those days, you d have dailies.
1
SPEAKER_02
So it was like 10 minutes of the movie, and so I m in a theater, kind of by myself, I think, and I m watching the dailies, and I go, oh, it s terrible.
1
SPEAKER_02
How many weeks do I have left?
1
SPEAKER_02
Seven more weeks.
1
SPEAKER_02
It s irretrievable.
1
SPEAKER_02
Uh-oh.
1
SPEAKER_02
But everyone s got a dog in their house.
1
SPEAKER_02
Come on, man.
1
SPEAKER_02
But that s very flattering.
1
SPEAKER_02
You know, when we did a, we were talking about you a while back, and for some reason I had a mental hiccup and I kept calling you Mikey Day.
1
SPEAKER_02
Oh, Mickey.
1
SPEAKER_01
It was in Bobby s.
1
SPEAKER_02
Mickey, I was calling you Mickey.
1
SPEAKER_01
I was calling you Mikey instead of Mickey.
1
SPEAKER_01
No, it s actually Mikey.
1
SPEAKER_01
No, I remember, yeah.
1
SPEAKER_01
Yeah, I m sorry about that.
1
SPEAKER_02
It s because I worked with Mickey Rooney.
1
SPEAKER_02
I worked with Mickey Rooney and that s what got in my head.
1
SPEAKER_02
So you were Michael and how did you become Mikey?
1
SPEAKER_02
Is that a nickname?
1
SPEAKER_01
I know, I used the... It s a big jump.
1
SPEAKER_01
Devin Walker on the show was like, and are you sticking with Mikey, your adult life.
1
SPEAKER_01
This is not going to change it.
1
SPEAKER_01
I was, I mean, I was always Michael and then in college, people just started calling me Mikey and it just kind of stuck.
1
SPEAKER_01
But I think I remember my first year here, the first pitch meeting, Lauren kind of going, like, is this grown man going by Mikey?
1
SPEAKER_01
Is this what we re doing here?
1
SPEAKER_01
Do I need to call this grown man Mikey?
1
SPEAKER_00
But yeah, I thought about Big Mike.
1
SPEAKER_00
Have you thought about something?
1
SPEAKER_01
Does everyone do that?
1
SPEAKER_00
Yeah, of course.
1
SPEAKER_02
Oh, yeah.
1
SPEAKER_02
Oh, you have a little breath coming.
1
SPEAKER_02
You have a breath.
1
SPEAKER_00
That s a new thing.
1
SPEAKER_02
Let s hear you go.
1
SPEAKER_02
Yeah.
1
SPEAKER_02
You look a little like Ed Sullivan.
1
SPEAKER_02
I m sorry to go back in the 70s.
1
SPEAKER_01
I mean, I m not.
1
SPEAKER_01
Yeah.
1
SPEAKER_01
You hear like Bill Hader s and stuff.
1
SPEAKER_01
They re like, okay.
1
SPEAKER_02
Bill Hader, who s that little quiet one is so hilarious.
1
SPEAKER_01
It was me, Jeff Dahmer.
1
SPEAKER_01
um a celebrity yeah we always like doing lauren the bit of him being excited about stuff because he s so even-keeled just like oh my god did you oh my god did you hear like it s just audio imagining
1
SPEAKER_00
Oh shit!
1
SPEAKER_00
Oh Beyonce s coming up, everyone places it!
1
SPEAKER_01
Yeah, just about stupid nerdy stuff.
1
SPEAKER_01
Oh my god, did you see the trailer for Deadpool 3?
1
SPEAKER_01
Oh!
1
SPEAKER_01
Deadpool 3.
1
SPEAKER_01
Did you ever go to a Yankees game with him?
1
SPEAKER_01
Oh, yeah.
1
SPEAKER_01
Once the Yankees games with Lorne are the best because it was like, it ll be you, Lorne and Senator Chris Dodd.
1
SPEAKER_01
And you re like, what?
1
SPEAKER_01
Very cool, dude.
1
SPEAKER_01
But it s you never know who s.
1
SPEAKER_02
I had if you remember, I think you pass away.
1
SPEAKER_02
We re going and Paul and Louis, Louis, Louis Mal, the French director is coming with us.
1
SPEAKER_00
You know, it s like, OK, he s never seen baseball, but.
1
SPEAKER_02
But it s a grand slam.
1
SPEAKER_02
It s like that thing of like the crowd s really going nuts.
1
SPEAKER_02
Would you like another beer?
1
SPEAKER_01
It s better than a home run because the bases, of course, are loaded.
1
SPEAKER_00
Well, it s the fourth inning.
1
SPEAKER_00
Should we leave?
1
SPEAKER_01
And it s like- Should we take off?
1
SPEAKER_00
Should we go?
1
SPEAKER_01
I was there once and there was a rain delay.
1
SPEAKER_01
So we were in like the restaurant area near those seats, but like it was so crowded because everyone was in there and there s nowhere to sit.
1
SPEAKER_01
And it was weird just being like, I m with Lorne and he has nowhere to sit.
1
SPEAKER_01
We need to fix this problem.
1
SPEAKER_00
Do something, yeah.
1
SPEAKER_01
Yeah.
1
SPEAKER_01
And so these we were just sitting at this like a large circular table with these very like Yankees fans.
1
SPEAKER_01
It was very surreal, but it was like two hours.
1
SPEAKER_01
And then they finally just canceled the game.
1
SPEAKER_00
Lauren s like, I see one bar stool.
1
SPEAKER_00
I ll catch up with you guys later.
1
SPEAKER_00
Deuces just drinks up at the bar, slamming shots.
1
SPEAKER_01
Lauren, I don t know how you guys did the show.
1
SPEAKER_01
before like cell phones and text messages because the amount of information that you re constantly, especially on Saturday, did you just call each other s dressing rooms?
1
SPEAKER_01
I guess go and just visit people, I guess.
1
SPEAKER_00
I guess you need- Did you just talk to people?
1
SPEAKER_00
I know.
1
SPEAKER_00
Yeah, we did.
1
SPEAKER_01
I mean, we do that, but like throughout the week, like talking to props and stuff, like we need this and just the constant communication.
1
SPEAKER_00
I ll say the worst part, Mikey, was
1
SPEAKER_00
for those of you at home, the show is on the eighth floor and not only are the offices on 17, but you still have to cross elevators, I think.
1
SPEAKER_00
So you have to go take two different elevators to get back to your office.
1
SPEAKER_00
And it was all day going back and forth because you couldn t text, you couldn t, if you call someone, they re never in their dressing room.
1
SPEAKER_00
So you have to go look for people.
1
SPEAKER_00
If you could text them,
1
SPEAKER_00
got the layer of stress of just anything.
1
SPEAKER_00
Marcy Klein running around looking for Norm Macdonald or something, it s just all crazy.
1
SPEAKER_00
So I wish I had that.
1
SPEAKER_00
We didn t have computers, laptops to write our sketches, so we had to drive them in from home, hand them in on paper, go home to rest, come back, type it up.
1
SPEAKER_00
You hand them in longhand, and then they write, they type them.
1
SPEAKER_01
There was like a big stack or something, because I think I heard Mike Myers talking about
1
SPEAKER_01
writing up Wayne s World and he said there was like a big bin or something of scripts and he would just, he like put it into the, which is crazy.
1
SPEAKER_00
Yeah, you put it in the stack and then they would take it like mad men type it one at a time.
1
SPEAKER_00
I think we were using hieroglyphics.
1
SPEAKER_01
Hey.
1
SPEAKER_00
Yeah.
1
SPEAKER_00
And so we just did that and then you d get your sketch and you d get it before read through and you d be like, Oh my God, there s misspelling or they put the host name wrong or they put the wrong and you re like, it s too late.
1
SPEAKER_00
We re in.
1
SPEAKER_00
That s insane.
1
SPEAKER_01
Yeah.
1
SPEAKER_01
Now you just drop it in to the file and onto the server.
1
SPEAKER_01
It s all on the computer.
1
SPEAKER_00
That s wild.
1
SPEAKER_00
Lies and attachments are too much for me.
1
SPEAKER_00
I wouldn t know how to do that.
1
SPEAKER_02
We had a bulletin board.
1
SPEAKER_02
Look at the difference here.
1
SPEAKER_02
We had a small bulletin board with letters of the week, like maybe 10 letters that you could get feedback from the audience compared to what you guys have now.
1
SPEAKER_01
Oh, really?
1
SPEAKER_01
Instant social media.
1
SPEAKER_01
Oh, instant people going, I hate you?
1
SPEAKER_02
There were some, oh, you should do this and that, but it was like 10 letters, that was it, a week that we just saw on a board.
1
SPEAKER_02
That was the only feedback.
1
SPEAKER_01
That guy likes me in Indiana.
1
SPEAKER_01
That s insane.
1
SPEAKER_01
That s one.
1
SPEAKER_02
What was, just because people are going to want to know, what was your journey?
1
SPEAKER_02
How much you want to share?
1
SPEAKER_02
You were a theater arts guy in high school, college.
1
SPEAKER_01
Yeah.
1
SPEAKER_01
And then went to UCLA and studied.
1
SPEAKER_01
Oh.
1
SPEAKER_02
Oh.
1
SPEAKER_02
Did you have a dream?
1
SPEAKER_02
Did you have a dream of how that would go and was SNL part of it?
1
SPEAKER_02
Or you just like want to be in show business and want to make a living doing this?
1
SPEAKER_01
I mean, SNL was always kind of at the at the top, I would say.
1
SPEAKER_01
But it just felt so far away and unattainable.
1
SPEAKER_01
And then I started taking classes at the Groundlings.
1
SPEAKER_01
And there s so many pictures of their there of people on SNL.
1
SPEAKER_01
And so it felt a little more attainable, but it still felt far away and the odds would be impossible.
1
SPEAKER_01
And then I went to college with Nassim Pedrod and Taryn Killam, who were on the cast.
1
SPEAKER_01
And then they brought me in as a writer.
1
SPEAKER_00
Suddenly Mikey doesn t sound so crazy.
1
SPEAKER_01
Exactly.
1
SPEAKER_01
Mikey sounds like a Nickelodeon show.
1
SPEAKER_01
It sounds like a Nickelodeon show.
1
SPEAKER_01
Nassim, Taron, and Mikey.
1
SPEAKER_02
Hey everybody, it s Mikey.
1
SPEAKER_02
Hey.
1
SPEAKER_01
It does feel very Nickelodeon.
1
SPEAKER_01
Whoa, on an all new Mikey.
1
SPEAKER_01
But they brought me in as a writer and then wrote for three seasons.
1
SPEAKER_00
Were you allowed to write for yourself?
1
SPEAKER_01
Pardon?
1
SPEAKER_00
Were you allowed to write for yourself?
1
SPEAKER_01
No, I was just a writer at the time.
1
SPEAKER_00
Isn t that horrifying?
1
SPEAKER_01
Didn t you start as a writer?
1
SPEAKER_00
Yeah, I was a writer-performer, which is worse.
1
SPEAKER_00
It was like pretending I could write for myself, but I really shouldn t.
1
SPEAKER_01
So you were like a writer and performer.
1
SPEAKER_00
Yeah, but no one s writing anything for me, and so I have to write, and then I wheeze myself in two lines, and they re like, what are you doing?
1
SPEAKER_00
I m like, no, I m just, I m the teenager.
1
SPEAKER_00
So they re like, no, Mike Myers can put a baseball cap on.

SPEAKER_00
I m like, oh, fuck.
1
SPEAKER_02
And you re like, okay.
1
SPEAKER_00
Yeah, write for the cast.
1
SPEAKER_02
I would go around, Sandler and Spade would be in an office, and I go, guys, guys, come on, anything this week?
1
SPEAKER_02
What do you got for me?
1
SPEAKER_01
I ll just go around to the offices going, I can play kids.
1
SPEAKER_01
No, you can t.
1
SPEAKER_00
Yeah.
1
SPEAKER_00
Can you be a Russian accent?
1
SPEAKER_00
Everything was like, they just poked their head in some good writer or
2
SPEAKER_01
and be like, can you sing?
2
SPEAKER_01
And I m like, sort of.
2
SPEAKER_01
Nope, took too long.
2
SPEAKER_01
You can t.
2
SPEAKER_01
I m like, God damn it.
2
SPEAKER_03
They re like, can you do a whatever impression?
2
SPEAKER_03
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
2
SPEAKER_02
How are you with a pogo stick?
2
SPEAKER_02
I got that one.
2
SPEAKER_03
Yeah, yeah, I can do it.
2
SPEAKER_03
I can do it.
2
SPEAKER_03
Absolutely.
2
SPEAKER_03
Can you do it at the table?
2
SPEAKER_03
Would you guys ever commit at the table to certain bits or would you always remain seated?
2
SPEAKER_01
No, we give it everything.
2
SPEAKER_01
To stand up, I ve stood up.
2
SPEAKER_03
I remember if you stand up, it s kind of like, okay, it s a little bit of a swing.
2
SPEAKER_01
It s on.
2
SPEAKER_01
You better fucking nail it.
2
SPEAKER_01
You ever go to the piano and sing?
2
SPEAKER_01
People would walk over to the piano and I m like, oh my, and Cheryl would play.
2
SPEAKER_01
I m like, you better, this better be a home run.
2
SPEAKER_03
Yeah.
2
SPEAKER_03
You re like, ooh, it s mid second half.
2
SPEAKER_03
I don t know a piano bit.
2
SPEAKER_01
The second half of read through, oh my God.
2
SPEAKER_01
It s hour four.
2
SPEAKER_03
Yeah, we call it like dead man s curve, like second half.
2
SPEAKER_03
Okay.
2
SPEAKER_01
As you light up on those last two, you re like coming to a close.
2
SPEAKER_03
That area.
2
SPEAKER_02
Dennis would just sit and watch us.
2
SPEAKER_02
Okay.
2
SPEAKER_02
Moving toward the ivories in the fourth hour of this extravaganza.
2
SPEAKER_02
Okay, Brad.
2
SPEAKER_03
My impression of Dennis Miller is Dana doing Dennis Miller.
2
SPEAKER_02
I have a new Dennis Miller.
2
SPEAKER_02
That was that Dennis.
2
SPEAKER_02
Dennis now is sort of soft-spoken.
2
SPEAKER_02
Okay, I ve got a couple shekels in my pocket.
2
SPEAKER_02
Nothing.
2
SPEAKER_02
If you want to go back there and visit the old team out in New York City, it s a great car if it s not something I m really up for right now.
2
SPEAKER_01
Spudley, you see what I sold my house for?
2
SPEAKER_01
You might want to fucking Google it.
2
SPEAKER_03
Because as a kid, quoting you guys was like the cool thing to do on the playground.
2
SPEAKER_03
And now my son quotes like weird Gen Alpha memes and stuff that make no sense.
2
SPEAKER_03
I feel like for adults, when we would quote SNL, like adults would watch SNL.
2
SPEAKER_03
So you had some context, you understood stuff.
2
SPEAKER_03
But now like, I have no idea.
2
SPEAKER_03
what comes out of my son s mouth sometimes.
2
SPEAKER_03
How old is he?
2
SPEAKER_03
He s 11.
2
SPEAKER_03
And he just comes home singing like, you re my phantom tax, you re so skibbity.
2
SPEAKER_03
I m like, what?
2
SPEAKER_00
What?
2
SPEAKER_00
Is this?
2
SPEAKER_03
At least I can quote, buh-bye, and you understand.
2
SPEAKER_00
Yeah.
2
SPEAKER_03
Yeah.
2
SPEAKER_01
Buh-bye.
2
SPEAKER_03
Buh-bye.
2
SPEAKER_03
Was Helen Hunt the first buh-bye?
2
SPEAKER_01
Yeah, there s only two, yeah.
2
SPEAKER_01
There s only two?
2
SPEAKER_01
Helen Hunt, yeah.
2
SPEAKER_02
Only two and it blew up like crazy.
2
SPEAKER_01
And the second one didn t even matter.
2
SPEAKER_01
It was Steve Martin, but we kind of fucked it up, but we did it.
2
SPEAKER_02
I heard you tried one where you said, hello, as they re coming on the plane.
2
SPEAKER_02
Hello, hello.
2
SPEAKER_01
No, that s John Lovett s hello.
2
SPEAKER_01
And goodbye.
2
SPEAKER_01
You do ask.
2
SPEAKER_00
Yeah.
2
SPEAKER_01
No, we did it once and then it was on American Airlines.
2
SPEAKER_01
They would play it for the flight attendants saying, this is our reputation, we have to fix this.
2
SPEAKER_01
So every flight attendant might take a flight for 10 years and be like, thank you, thank you.
2
SPEAKER_01
I m like, you re still saying fuck you.
2
SPEAKER_01
So it s all bad.
2
SPEAKER_03
Are we a buh-bye company?
2
SPEAKER_03
No, no, no, no, no.
2
SPEAKER_01
When you leave Burger King now, on the door it tapes, it said, buh-bye, and I m like, no.
2
SPEAKER_02
Buh-bye.
2
SPEAKER_02
What do you guys say?
2
SPEAKER_01
I wrote that with Fred Wolff, yeah.
2
SPEAKER_01
I wrote that with Fred Wolff.
2
SPEAKER_01
Fred Wolff s a great writer, it was on there.
2
SPEAKER_03
Were you like out of town and you were on the plane?
2
SPEAKER_01
No, it was his idea and he came to me and I m like, oh, this is just a joke machine.
2
SPEAKER_01
You just put every, every cast member comes through.
2
SPEAKER_01
Everyone gets some screen time.
2
SPEAKER_01
It gets a little more heated as you go.
2
SPEAKER_01
And Helen Hunt looks perfectly innocent.
2
SPEAKER_01
Perfect one to do it.
2
SPEAKER_01
Yeah, buh-bye.
2
SPEAKER_02
Do you feel, I have a question, Charlie, sorry, sorry, it s my face here.
2
SPEAKER_02
Charlie Finneman was on the, his name was right in front of my face, I m not crazy, he s just one of our producers.
2
SPEAKER_02
How was the interview?
2
SPEAKER_02
Dana called me Charlie the whole time, but I didn t correct.
2
SPEAKER_02
Correct.
2
SPEAKER_02
But it is on the screen.
2
SPEAKER_02
I m just curious that you now, you re there, and I was looking at the new cast, and just this whole thing that I didn t have that much.
2
SPEAKER_02
The new guys came in, then I left.
2
SPEAKER_02
But this turnover, you re writing these multiple generations, the Kate McGinnon people and Tara, and now you have... I looked at Chloe Fineman, you have, I don t know.
2
SPEAKER_02
Ego with him.
2
SPEAKER_02
I m trying to get all the names.
2
SPEAKER_02
Andrew.
2
SPEAKER_02
I mean, how do you, are you, are you like sort of taking people on your wing a little bit?
2
SPEAKER_02
Do you know, I mean, you re like, you kind of know the system.
2
SPEAKER_02
You re a 10 year life.
2
SPEAKER_02
You re like quarterback, you know, the system.
2
SPEAKER_03
I know how it operates.
2
SPEAKER_02
But so when people come in and they watch you and you re in so many things and we ll get to your superstar sketches, um, that you do, they, they ask you stuff.
2
SPEAKER_02
You, you, you feel you can help them out or what s that like with new, new, fresh recruits coming off the, uh,
2
SPEAKER_01
Do you box them out?
2
SPEAKER_01
Do you ice them?
2
SPEAKER_01
Do you get their heads?
2
SPEAKER_02
They look like the aliens, you know, they look like Amelia Earhart coming off the mothership in Close Encounters.
2
SPEAKER_03
They re in the headlights.
2
SPEAKER_03
I would like Joe Kazem like first table, but I mean, it s, I feel like it s definitely very friendly.
2
SPEAKER_03
I ve definitely heard stories about kind of the show in past years.
2
SPEAKER_03
It sounds kind of intense and the competition, maybe those stories are.
2
SPEAKER_03
like blown out of proportion as the years go on.
2
SPEAKER_03
But I feel like if it s very friendly and everyone s pretty nice.
2
SPEAKER_01
You know what it is, Mikey?
2
SPEAKER_01
It s like The Bachelor where they re all friendly at the beginning and then it gets down to the show time and you re like, wait, you re still here?
2
SPEAKER_01
All bets are off.
2
SPEAKER_01
It s either you or them, yeah.
2
SPEAKER_01
The Bachelor, they re always friendly until toward the end.
2
SPEAKER_01
And they re like, can I, can I pull you aside?
2
SPEAKER_01
He s been really saying shitty things about you.
2
SPEAKER_01
And they re like, what?
2
SPEAKER_01
And like, no, I m just saying, I just feel like you should know.
2
SPEAKER_02
Well, the freak, the freakitude of somebody getting loose, like going out and making a hit movie or, you know, then, then the kind of the apple cart is sort of.
2
SPEAKER_02
rocked a little bit.
2
SPEAKER_02
Mike and I, with the freakitude of Wayne s World, at a certain point, they would bring in giant stuff.
2
SPEAKER_02
You d put laundry in with fan mail.
2
SPEAKER_03
I can t imagine being on the show and a couple past members were in a movie that was not only successful, but Wayne s World was an insane, insane cultural touchstone.
2
SPEAKER_03
And you guys were still on the show?
2
SPEAKER_01
Yeah, they were bigger than the host sometimes.
2
SPEAKER_03
Yeah, it would be like, when would you decide to do Wayne s World?
2
SPEAKER_03
I remember as a kid, they would air it on Comedy Central, they would air one hour reruns, and taping it and waiting for the little Aurora, Illinois, little cable access graphic.
2
SPEAKER_03
And that s how I was kind of introduced to that era of SNL.
2
SPEAKER_03
I remember when I was a little, little, my dad showed me some rerun of Coneheads, like of SNL.
2
SPEAKER_03
It was Coneheads on Family Feud.
2
SPEAKER_03
I d never seen the show.
2
SPEAKER_01
Family Feud is a fucking great one.
2
SPEAKER_03
They re like, name something you bite into.
2
SPEAKER_03
And Dan Aykroyd s like, a trapeze.
2
SPEAKER_03
I was like, what?
2
SPEAKER_01
It s so funny.
2
SPEAKER_03
Is this, I love it.
2
SPEAKER_01
Name something you eat with eggs, fiberglass.
2
SPEAKER_01
Yes.
2
SPEAKER_03
And Bill Murray s so gross.
2
SPEAKER_03
It s so like, so smarmy and gross.
2
SPEAKER_03
It s so fucking funny, yeah.
2
SPEAKER_03
Those sketches were long back in the day.
2
SPEAKER_03
I was like, this is 11 minutes?
2
SPEAKER_01
They d go to a commercial and come back to the end of the Family Feud sketch.
2
SPEAKER_03
Yeah, you re like, 11 minutes?
2
SPEAKER_03
Yeah.
2
SPEAKER_01
You know what, I just saw your, there was a couple funny ones, we re jumping around, but the one, oh, when you were in the car recently with Quentin.
2
SPEAKER_02
I think the traffic altercation one.
2
SPEAKER_02
Yeah.
2
SPEAKER_02
Right, yeah.
2
SPEAKER_02
That was one of those sketches that you look at and you go,
2
SPEAKER_02
Oh man, what a brilliant notion.
2
SPEAKER_01
Tight, very well done.
2
SPEAKER_01
Did you write or co-write that?
2
SPEAKER_01
Has an ending.
2
SPEAKER_03
Yeah, I d done a very loose version at Groundlings and Sunday Company a while ago, live.
2
SPEAKER_03
with Kevin Bernson and was like, I wonder if you can adapt this.
2
SPEAKER_03
I mean, I had to change it a lot for the TV cameras.
2
SPEAKER_03
Yeah.
2
SPEAKER_03
Yeah.
2
SPEAKER_03
It was cool that they were able to figure it out, though.
2
SPEAKER_03
It s funny.
2
SPEAKER_03
They they all whenever there s cars and sketches, they bring in these massive black sedans.
2
SPEAKER_03
And so we both
2
SPEAKER_03
You can t really see in the sketch, but we re both driving, I think, identical massive black sedans.
2
SPEAKER_01
Generic.
2
SPEAKER_01
Huge.
2
SPEAKER_01
TV cars.
2
SPEAKER_01
Like a Packard from the 50s.
2
SPEAKER_03
Just gross inside.
2
SPEAKER_01
I did like at the end, they pull away and then you can see for one second the green screen and how you get, because I m like, I didn t see the camera at the beginning, but then, and then I thought it was a pre-tape because they were showing you from down here and her close up.
2
SPEAKER_01
And then when they pull away, I go, Oh, it is live.
2
SPEAKER_01
Cause I, I remember Lauren,
3
SPEAKER_00
used to say they always would rather have it live if they could.
3
SPEAKER_00
Yeah.
3
SPEAKER_00
That was a great one.
3
SPEAKER_01
I mean, it s cool when you can try to play with the, I guess, parameters of live stuff.
3
SPEAKER_01
I write with Streeter Seidel and I write all the time together and we re always trying to think what s something different we could do to play with the medium because it s cool if you can score
3
SPEAKER_01
with a live sketch because the pre tapes, you just have more time and you can kind of
3
SPEAKER_01
play with it a lot more.
3
SPEAKER_01
And I think people are more used to seeing film stuff, you know, online, but to have something that works live and kind of resonates with people is a lot of fun.
3
SPEAKER_02
Sorry, just live, something can go wrong, even in a great sketch.
3
SPEAKER_02
It just gets tilted, there s a miscue, and it can unravel, even a great sketch.
3
SPEAKER_02
So for this one, it seemed like your air, you landed it probably the best of the week that, I mean, it really landed.
3
SPEAKER_01
Yeah, it felt great, yeah.
3
SPEAKER_01
It definitely,
3
SPEAKER_01
Colin Jost, because there s a moment when Chloe, who plays my daughter, Chloe Fineman, she is miming, like, you suck.
3
SPEAKER_01
And she s using, she uses both her hands and then Colin Jost in the hallway.
3
SPEAKER_01
came up and pitched the joke.
3
SPEAKER_01
He was like, you should say, I don t love that you use two hands, which was one of the funniest lines in the sketch.
3
SPEAKER_00
Big laugh.
3
SPEAKER_00
Her doing that was funny.
3
SPEAKER_00
You saying that was funny.
3
SPEAKER_00
Calling her a bitch and pointing at her was funny.
3
SPEAKER_00
And then you did it was hilarious.
3
SPEAKER_02
Yeah.
3
SPEAKER_02
Quinta Brunson was perfect in it as well.
3
SPEAKER_00
She did a great job.
3
SPEAKER_01
She was great because at the table,
3
SPEAKER_01
I was like, there s a lot of gesturing and I kind of gave her an example, but you can t really script out, you know, like move your left hand.
3
SPEAKER_01
So she kind of was on her own at the table to kind of sell it and figure it out.
3
SPEAKER_01
And she was great.
3
SPEAKER_01
She totally got it.
3
SPEAKER_00
And when you re watching cards, you don t know, like,
3
SPEAKER_00
If you re watching cards, you re like, oh wait, this is the one where I have to go my left hand and I have to stay in frame and I have to say this and do it.
3
SPEAKER_00
And then you re like, now the next one, oh wait, eating is this.
3
SPEAKER_00
Oh yeah, I point back.
3
SPEAKER_00
You know, that in my, you could just people, see people thinking, because it looked hard in my head going, shit, if I was there, the cards have to be perfect.
3
SPEAKER_00
You have to either write on the, remember to do this or, you know, you have no notes.
3
SPEAKER_00
You re just like, okay, we ve rehearsed it probably twice this week.
3
SPEAKER_00
That s it.
3
SPEAKER_01
Let s go.
3
SPEAKER_01
Yeah.
3
SPEAKER_01
I remember during the blocking of it, there was.
3
SPEAKER_01
an issue with the window and the reflection, and you could see the camera and the red light, and I was like, oh, we re gonna get screwed because of the stupid reflection.
3
SPEAKER_01
Because I ve had sketches go to dress, and there s some sort of reflective surface, and you just see the red light and the flipping of cards the whole time, and you re like, no!
3
SPEAKER_00
They re gonna cut it.
3
SPEAKER_01
Yes, you can just hear what s going on under the bleachers with Lorne and the writers.
3
SPEAKER_01
What the fuck is happening?
3
SPEAKER_01
Torn to shreds.
3
SPEAKER_01
But it worked out in the end, which was awesome.
3
SPEAKER_01
And that s kind of the thrill of it when you re doing something kind of different.
3
SPEAKER_02
And I would say just for myself, a sketch like that, you guys are both doing this physical comedy.
3
SPEAKER_02
The argument is escalating between the drivers.
3
SPEAKER_02
And then we get to, in real time, see what you do.
3
SPEAKER_02
how you re gonna mime out your insult.
3
SPEAKER_02
And so even people in a bar, and it s kind of loud, would probably watch it and laugh.
3
SPEAKER_02
So you got things going on all the time.
3
SPEAKER_02
And then it escalates into sexual things.
3
SPEAKER_02
As they all do.
3
SPEAKER_02
Yeah, why not?
3
SPEAKER_02
Why not?
3
SPEAKER_02
Guilty as charged.
3
SPEAKER_02
Naughty bulbous parts.
3
SPEAKER_02
Throbbing and...
3
SPEAKER_02
But, uh, this other one that got called out recently by our friend Ben Stiller is another, uh, amazing sketch.
3
SPEAKER_02
The home movie sketch.
3
SPEAKER_02
I know.
3
SPEAKER_02
I don t.
3
SPEAKER_01
Right.
3
SPEAKER_02
Yeah.
3
SPEAKER_01
That was written by Dan Bulla and Steven Castillo.
3
SPEAKER_01
Bola, Bola, Bola, Bola.
3
SPEAKER_01
Love it.
3
SPEAKER_01
Gave me a great part.
3
SPEAKER_01
It was like a little present or like, here you go.
3
SPEAKER_01
Can you do this?
3
SPEAKER_01
It was so much, so much fun.
3
SPEAKER_01
And then Ben Stiller was such a kind, wonderful man.
3
SPEAKER_01
We did that.
3
SPEAKER_02
He is a very sweet person.
3
SPEAKER_01
I m like, you didn t have to do that, man.
3
SPEAKER_01
And you gave me swag for a week.
3
SPEAKER_01
It s so funny at that show.
3
SPEAKER_01
You re like, I m feeling good.
3
SPEAKER_01
And then you ll have like a bad sketch bomb at table read.
3
SPEAKER_01
And you ll be like, I suck.
3
SPEAKER_01
I m the worst.
3
SPEAKER_01
What am I doing here?
3
SPEAKER_00
The next week, Ben goes, I saw the worst sketch ever on SNL this week.
3
SPEAKER_00
Yeah.
3
SPEAKER_00
And it was the same guy.
3
SPEAKER_02
Get that guy off the cast.
3
SPEAKER_02
Isn t it bizarre?
3
SPEAKER_02
It s the same guy?
3
SPEAKER_02
Let s check it out.
3
SPEAKER_01
What happened?
3
SPEAKER_01
Least valuable player.
3
SPEAKER_02
I m going to start tweeting compliments at SNL cast members.
3
SPEAKER_02
It just hit me how lonely it is on that show sometimes.
3
SPEAKER_02
You know, one week you re like, I got one or two, three things at work and then next week...
3
SPEAKER_01
It s it s it s strange.
3
SPEAKER_01
It s kind of the best, I guess, best and worst part, because even if you have a bad week, you re like, all right, there s always next week and it literally starts all over again and you can turn it around.
3
SPEAKER_02
What did you what did you think that so that it s been Biden s been passed around for a decade now?
3
SPEAKER_02
Woody Harrelson, everybody, Matthew McConaughey.
3
SPEAKER_01
Everyone s doing Biden.
3
SPEAKER_02
Everyone s doing Biden.
3
SPEAKER_01
He s a puzzle.
3
SPEAKER_02
He s a puzzle.
3
SPEAKER_02
He s difficult.
3
SPEAKER_02
He s not, you know, Trump is obviously easy.
3
SPEAKER_02
Just a madman spewing insane things.
3
SPEAKER_02
I mean, so many hooks, and James is still teasing out the hooks.
3
SPEAKER_01
Oh, yeah.
3
SPEAKER_01
We love it.
3
SPEAKER_02
We love the Ramadan.
3
SPEAKER_02
So funny.
3
SPEAKER_02
And then Biden is in this frequency that s very difficult, you know, energy-wise, because you can t yell.
3
SPEAKER_02
Like, I could kind of, with Ross Pro, I could be, you know, physical and loud.
3
SPEAKER_01
I just want to quote all your guys  old stuff.
3
SPEAKER_02
I m enjoying this podcast quite a bit because this notion that you right now,
3
SPEAKER_02
are having somebody who s watching SNL for the first time and going, did you see that guy, that traffic sketch that guy did?
3
SPEAKER_01
Didn t even know your name.
3
SPEAKER_02
That funny guy.
3
SPEAKER_01
Yeah.
3
SPEAKER_01
That traffic thing was funny.
3
SPEAKER_01
Is Biden s kind of, eh, we ll see.
3
SPEAKER_01
But I like that traffic.
3
SPEAKER_02
But no one, no one is really,
3
SPEAKER_02
solved Biden in studio, in 8-H, which I think is a rock and roll room.
3
SPEAKER_02
It can be quiet, but generally speaking, if you have energy at home base, it s helpful.
3
SPEAKER_02
Yeah, you want to be out there.
3
SPEAKER_02
And he whispers, but...
3
SPEAKER_01
Yeah, because he s into this.
3
SPEAKER_01
I mean, back in the day when he was doing, you know, the running with Obama, Sudeikis played him.
3
SPEAKER_01
It was so funny.
3
SPEAKER_01
He s like, Biden time, because he s like, I m going to get on a train and just sit and sing malarkey.
3
SPEAKER_01
And like old school Biden was very like, I ve had enough of your shit.
3
SPEAKER_01
I m going to call you out.
3
SPEAKER_01
And he was a very
3
SPEAKER_00
I had that temper.
3
SPEAKER_00
Yeah.
3
SPEAKER_01
Funny teeth.
3
SPEAKER_01
Now he s this kind of older man.
3
SPEAKER_01
And so you don t want to go out there and be like, lose your train of thought because it s kind of sad.
3
SPEAKER_01
You know what I mean?
3
SPEAKER_01
Well, that s the thing.
3
SPEAKER_01
Yeah.
3
SPEAKER_01
Yeah.
3
SPEAKER_01
You re right.
3
SPEAKER_01
When he loses his train of thought, it s because, you know, he s
3
SPEAKER_01
you know, an older dude.
3
SPEAKER_00
It s like he got hit with a dart gun in the neck right before the speech.
3
SPEAKER_00
Then he s like, Hey, yeah, he s, he s unplugged.
3
SPEAKER_00
His batteries are going.
3
SPEAKER_02
I mean, the only thing I could do is to try to make it silly, you know?
3
SPEAKER_02
So I have that Hunter Biden is the only one who can really understand him.
3
SPEAKER_02
Hey, how you doing?
3
SPEAKER_02
How you doing dad?
3
SPEAKER_02
Yeah.
3
SPEAKER_02
No, I already ate, but maybe tomorrow night.
3
SPEAKER_02
I guess so.
3
SPEAKER_02
Yeah, I guess it was on you.
3
SPEAKER_02
So it s like not going to do it.
3
SPEAKER_02
It s like it s like not going to do it.
3
SPEAKER_02
I mean, you got to just go just make up what Biden might be.
3
SPEAKER_01
Right.
3
SPEAKER_01
And then his that s funny is his son s the translator.
3
SPEAKER_02
Does anyone know what Hunter Biden talks like?
3
SPEAKER_02
I mean, I know.
3
SPEAKER_02
I just figure he s kind of a dude.
3
SPEAKER_02
He looks like he s kicking it on the planet.
3
SPEAKER_01
Just like an older finance looking dude.
3
SPEAKER_01
Yeah, I do not know how he talks.
3
SPEAKER_00
Does any guy host ever come in and say, I want to play Hunter?
3
SPEAKER_01
I don t know.
3
SPEAKER_01
I don t think so.
3
SPEAKER_01
I know Pete played him.
3
SPEAKER_01
And he was on one of those wheeled hoverboards.
3
SPEAKER_01
That s all I remember.
3
SPEAKER_01
He just kind of passed frame on one of those hoverboards, I guess, because he s like, oh, I m a young kid.
3
SPEAKER_01
But.
3
SPEAKER_01
I don t know if anyone s like cracked hunter.
3
SPEAKER_01
Yeah, because I don t even know what he sounds like.
4
SPEAKER_03
The public doesn t know.
4
SPEAKER_03
I mean, he gave that little speech in the Capitol, but yeah, you just kind of know, like it s a generic guy.
4
SPEAKER_03
Yeah.
4
SPEAKER_03
There s not a lot of voice that the public is aware of.
4
SPEAKER_03
I m not.
4
SPEAKER_03
Yeah.
4
SPEAKER_03
I just go like this.
4
SPEAKER_03
Hi.
4
SPEAKER_03
Hi.
4
SPEAKER_03
I m Hunter Biden.
4
SPEAKER_03
When in doubt, just say the name of the person you re doing.
4
SPEAKER_01
Oh, 100%.
4
SPEAKER_03
Hey, wait a minute.
4
SPEAKER_03
It s Hunter Biden.
4
SPEAKER_03
Hunter Biden just walked in the room.
4
SPEAKER_01
I m Robin Leach, I m famous, I don t know why.
4
SPEAKER_02
I don t know why, you know all my characters.
4
SPEAKER_02
I mean, you guys were... I think Hollywood Minute is the first time I heard
4
SPEAKER_01
the phraseology of, hey, the 19 whatever called, which, and I liked it first time.
4
SPEAKER_01
I believe it was pioneered there.
4
SPEAKER_03
Did you invent that phrase, David?
4
SPEAKER_03
Because that is like a thing in the ether now for, you know, the 80s called, wants their shirt back.
4
SPEAKER_02
Yeah, they did say in that Rolling Stones Aren t Alive thing that that was started there.
4
SPEAKER_02
I think so, I hope so.
4
SPEAKER_02
It still hasn t gone away.
4
SPEAKER_02
It got kind of tired a little bit, but it still pops up in commercials and stuff.
4
SPEAKER_01
But now it s just kind of like a common accepted insult.
4
SPEAKER_01
Package.
4
SPEAKER_02
Yeah.
4
SPEAKER_02
By the way, when I was watching the Super Bowl, Heidi Gardner, she was in the Super Bowl more than Travis Kelsey.
4
SPEAKER_01
She s a huge Chiefs fan too.
4
SPEAKER_02
She was in like every third commercial.
4
SPEAKER_01
Yeah.
4
SPEAKER_01
I didn t even know.
4
SPEAKER_01
I was like, Heidi?
4
SPEAKER_01
She is awesome.
4
SPEAKER_01
She was at Groundlings as well.
4
SPEAKER_02
She s a sweetheart.
4
SPEAKER_02
She came on and talked to us.
4
SPEAKER_02
She was great.
4
SPEAKER_01
I know.
4
SPEAKER_00
She s like, yeah, I did fly on the wall.
4
SPEAKER_00
Oh, you did?
4
SPEAKER_00
Oh, those guys don t like me.
4
SPEAKER_00
I don t know.
4
SPEAKER_00
Do you think they ll ask me?
4
SPEAKER_00
Do they?
4
SPEAKER_00
Do they like me?
4
SPEAKER_00
We want everybody.
4
SPEAKER_00
You guys.
4
SPEAKER_03
Yeah, we haven t talked to everybody.
4
SPEAKER_03
Oh, yeah.
4
SPEAKER_03
Bobby on.
4
SPEAKER_03
Bobby Moynihan.
4
SPEAKER_03
We should get Taran on, you know, Taran Kilian.
4
SPEAKER_00
Yeah.
4
SPEAKER_03
Taran Kilian, who s had an incredible run on that show as well.
4
SPEAKER_02
Wait, what about Is It Cake, Dana?
4
SPEAKER_02
I have to ask him about something about Is It Cake.
4
SPEAKER_02
Oh, yeah, yeah.
4
SPEAKER_02
That s a cool show.
4
SPEAKER_01
That s a game.
4
SPEAKER_01
Wait, you guys know what Is It Cake is and you re over the age of six?
4
SPEAKER_03
I actually, I like it.
4
SPEAKER_01
Kids love it.
4
SPEAKER_03
Of course, it s just fun.
4
SPEAKER_01
It s so, when they first told me what the concept was, I was like, what?
4
SPEAKER_02
Like, is that all it is?
4
SPEAKER_02
And you go, yeah, but it s, there s a show there.
4
SPEAKER_01
It feels very much like the show is.
4
SPEAKER_01
aware that it s called is it cake and play.
4
SPEAKER_01
There s like a lightness to it and there s kind of an innate humor to it because of how ridiculous the concept is.
4
SPEAKER_01
But at the same time, it s really cool to see what those bakers do.
4
SPEAKER_02
I mean, yeah, great job with it.
4
SPEAKER_01
Yeah, it s a lot of fun, but kids have responded to it.
4
SPEAKER_01
And it s remarkable that they love it, not just the end game part.
4
SPEAKER_01
They like.
4
SPEAKER_01
are really into how they create, these bakers, how they create cakes, which I guess maybe, because maybe it s almost like a magic trick, seeing how they do it, but it s really interesting that kids respond to it.
4
SPEAKER_02
And then it stumps all the dumb celebrities, they like that part.
4
SPEAKER_01
Yeah, they re like, although Ego came on and did,
4
SPEAKER_01
Very, very well.
4
SPEAKER_01
She was really good at it.
4
SPEAKER_01
Too well.
4
SPEAKER_01
She would find.
4
SPEAKER_02
She won t be back.
4
SPEAKER_01
I know.
4
SPEAKER_01
You re like, it s weird because for the judges, they re like, if they find it, you re in danger of not winning money.
4
SPEAKER_02
I just did a game show.
4
SPEAKER_02
And the funny thing was, I was telling Dana is they want some, they want some comedy.
4
SPEAKER_02
They all want some comedy.
4
SPEAKER_02
And obviously that s why they get you.
4
SPEAKER_02
And then when you go out there, do they try to juice you to be a little more energetic?
4
SPEAKER_01
There is always, in my earpiece, another one, a little more energy.
4
SPEAKER_02
We ll have some more, have some fun out there.
4
SPEAKER_02
Yeah.
4
SPEAKER_02
Explain the rules again.
4
SPEAKER_01
Yeah.
4
SPEAKER_01
You re like, I just, my least favorite part is explaining.
4
SPEAKER_01
Like if they do miss, then they ll go into the prize pot for another $25,000.
4
SPEAKER_01
However, if they re spared and you re like, yeah.
4
SPEAKER_01
I know.
4
SPEAKER_02
And everyone s like, we heard that right before the fucking commercial.
4
SPEAKER_02
We know about the goddamn prize pot.
4
SPEAKER_01
And you re like, well, T-Rex that looks that s made out of cake.
4
SPEAKER_02
Yeah, someone hit it with a hammer and we ll figure it out.
4
SPEAKER_01
But I mean, everyone everyone involved with that show is fantastic.
4
SPEAKER_01
Like, they re very they re very like, do whatever you want.
4
SPEAKER_00
It s not like, um, so we need to do it again.
4
SPEAKER_01
They re very like, yeah, just have fun with it.
4
SPEAKER_01
So I ve been lucky in that respect.
4
SPEAKER_02
No, it sounds like a fun one, it sounds like a cool one.
4
SPEAKER_01
You guys gotta come on.
4
SPEAKER_01
I ll come on.
4
SPEAKER_02
We gotta go, you re cutting out.
4
SPEAKER_01
I ll come on.
4
SPEAKER_01
Dana and David gave a very mixed possibly, so they might.
4
SPEAKER_02
We ve got a couple verbal, we ve got some soft yeses.
4
SPEAKER_03
You know what, I m gonna talk, my team, my team will reach out to you.
4
SPEAKER_03
I like that.
4
SPEAKER_02
Politeness.
4
SPEAKER_03
Team is discussing it.
4
SPEAKER_02
What about David S. Pumpkin s day?
4
SPEAKER_02
And I remember we had Tom Hanks on and we were laughing about that.
4
SPEAKER_03
A singularity as a sketch, as odd weirdness, one of my all-time favorites.
4
SPEAKER_03
And I know that- That s awesome.
4
SPEAKER_03
Well, you know it s just special.
4
SPEAKER_03
I don t know how to describe it.
4
SPEAKER_02
When do you know it s working?
4
SPEAKER_01
I don t know.
4
SPEAKER_01
It was so weird.
4
SPEAKER_01
We wrote it.
4
SPEAKER_01
It was like 4 a.m.
4
SPEAKER_01
And I had gone to Disneyland all the time because I grew up in
4
SPEAKER_01
Southern California and went on when, I forget when, Hollywood Adventure or whatever.
4
SPEAKER_03
Yeah, where things pop out.
4
SPEAKER_01
California Adventure.
4
SPEAKER_01
Yeah.
4
SPEAKER_01
And then there was that Tower of Terror ride.
4
SPEAKER_01
That s what I m trying to get to.
4
SPEAKER_01
It s just very to me lends itself to a sketch format with like a doors opening and something crazy closed doors again.
4
SPEAKER_01
And then so it made us laugh but it s it s funny because there s no like hard
4
SPEAKER_01
joke jokes in it, where you re like, okay, well, that s at least we know a joke.
4
SPEAKER_01
It s all just, I m weird.
4
SPEAKER_01
And then them reacting to it.
4
SPEAKER_01
And it works though.
4
SPEAKER_01
Yeah.
4
SPEAKER_03
When it works with that shit, it s crazy.
4
SPEAKER_03
Well, could I insert this, my point of view on this.
4
SPEAKER_03
Some sketches are so funny, you can t really laugh at them the first time.
4
SPEAKER_03
but then later on you ll laugh more because there s so many questions.
4
SPEAKER_03
Why are they in this right?
4
SPEAKER_03
Who is this guy?
4
SPEAKER_03
Why is the other?
4
SPEAKER_03
There s all these questions in your head.
4
SPEAKER_03
And then when you start to process it later on, it just makes you smile.
4
SPEAKER_03
I mean, Hank s commitment to it and joy of it was so funny.
4
SPEAKER_03
And then you guys being the people reacting, it was just perfect.
4
SPEAKER_03
Oh my God.
4
SPEAKER_01
It is perfect.
4
SPEAKER_01
On read through day,
4
SPEAKER_01
in between the first and second half, you know, you meet with the host and kind of briefly tell them like, okay, you re playing a crazy German man in this or whatever.
4
SPEAKER_01
Yeah, we told him, so you re just kind of this guy, David pumpkins, and he talked a lot more in the first version, but we re like, you re just kind of a really upbeat and friendly and like you belong there.
4
SPEAKER_01
And he s like, okay.
4
SPEAKER_01
And so, I mean, he s Tom Hanks, so we committed, but
4
SPEAKER_01
And I know we ve talked about this.
4
SPEAKER_01
I think Bobby mentioned it, but in between dress and air, it s like, I don t know if I have a read on Mr. Pumpkin.
4
SPEAKER_01
There s nothing to laugh about.
4
SPEAKER_03
He s won two Academy Awards.
4
SPEAKER_03
So he did something else with his hands or something.
4
SPEAKER_01
I feel like yeah, on air is when he was really like.
4
SPEAKER_01
He just weirded it out.
4
SPEAKER_01
Yeah, he kicked it up to like insane because he s
4
SPEAKER_01
you watch the first one, he s just like staring slightly off.
4
SPEAKER_01
He s just a complete madman.
4
SPEAKER_01
But it s like the power of Tom Hanks and coupled with like Halloween and kind of the feeling and the country was like right before the election.
4
SPEAKER_01
I just feel like all the ingredients were there.
4
SPEAKER_01
But it s been awesome to see, like I ll see online of, you know, kids
4
SPEAKER_01
and Halloween costumes and dress their dogs up as the skeletons.
4
SPEAKER_01
And there s a dude at Universal Studios during Halloween who wanders the park as, which was like, all right, that s great.
4
SPEAKER_02
That s when you I love a Halloween costume.
4
SPEAKER_02
If you can get a sketch to be a costume, that s 100 percent.
4
SPEAKER_03
Yeah.
4
SPEAKER_02
Also, a lot of these sketches, as Dana knows.
4
SPEAKER_02
Yeah.
4
SPEAKER_02
The first cone heads, the first gap girls,
5
SPEAKER_00
is the first, almost first anything doesn t do that well because they re taking it all in, like Dana was saying.
5
SPEAKER_00
They don t know until a lot of times in SNL, you just hammer it home till they re like, all right, we get it, fuck, stop playing.
5
SPEAKER_00
It s a thing now.
5
SPEAKER_00
Yeah, it s a thing and we re telling you it s a thing.
5
SPEAKER_00
But sometimes these organically, they turn into, so the next time you come out, if you hear enough about them, so you do do it again, then they re all ready and they get it.
5
SPEAKER_00
They re on board.
5
SPEAKER_00
And then it does way better.
5
SPEAKER_00
But sometimes the first ones are crickets.
5
SPEAKER_01
But how would you guys know, yeah, we should keep doing this?
5
SPEAKER_01
Because it wasn t- Letters.
5
SPEAKER_01
I don t know, the first Hans and Franz bombed.
5
SPEAKER_02
Yeah, I m sure.
5
SPEAKER_00
Yeah, that s what I m saying.
5
SPEAKER_02
Because it was so, they thought we were going to lift heavy weights or something, and all we did was berate imaginary enemies.
5
SPEAKER_01
Do it now and believe me later.
5
SPEAKER_02
Yeah, we ll come to your house and we ll put the shape of your flap into a rope ladder so you can crawl back down in the sewer because that s where losers live.
5
SPEAKER_02
And the audience is kind of like, who are they talking to?
5
SPEAKER_02
Why are they mad at me?
5
SPEAKER_02
Why are they mad at me?
5
SPEAKER_02
I still do it to this day.
5
SPEAKER_02
It s just sort of fun to be sorry.
5
SPEAKER_02
Mikey Day is our guest.
5
SPEAKER_01
Look at Mikey Day, girly man with your petite frame.
5
SPEAKER_01
You re a grown man.
5
SPEAKER_00
Ooh, little v-neck t-shirt.
5
SPEAKER_01
Ooh, with your v-neck.
5
SPEAKER_02
Or snap that v. What are you working on now?
5
SPEAKER_02
So you re coming out in another 10 days, 12 days from now with a show.
5
SPEAKER_02
Have you got a little something you can share with us in your back pocket?
5
SPEAKER_00
Who is it?
5
SPEAKER_00
Do we know?
5
SPEAKER_00
Keep it quiet, though, actually.
5
SPEAKER_01
Do we know Shane Gillis?
5
SPEAKER_01
Who s that?
5
SPEAKER_00
Who s Shane Gillis?
5
SPEAKER_00
All right.
5
SPEAKER_00
Shane Gillis.
5
SPEAKER_01
He s a stand-up, very successful stand-up comedian.
5
SPEAKER_02
No, we know.
5
SPEAKER_01
He was actually... Fired.
5
SPEAKER_01
He got hired to be on the cast, and then all that stuff went down with... You didn t say the word fired.
5
SPEAKER_00
You said he got hired and all that stuff went down.
5
SPEAKER_02
He got let go.
5
SPEAKER_02
Make this stuff go down, please.
5
SPEAKER_00
You re going in a different direction.
5
SPEAKER_02
He s landed on his feet, but that was sort of an odd, bizarre situation.
5
SPEAKER_02
And what will it be like?
5
SPEAKER_02
Have you talked about it as a cast?
5
SPEAKER_01
I m not sure.
5
SPEAKER_01
I haven t really talked with anyone about it.
5
SPEAKER_01
It was just kind of, so we ll see.
5
SPEAKER_00
No one says anything there.
5
SPEAKER_01
It s quiet.
5
SPEAKER_01
Information is currency.
5
SPEAKER_00
No one s going to sit you down and go,
5
SPEAKER_00
What we should do- How are you feeling?
5
SPEAKER_00
Act like it never happened.
5
SPEAKER_00
No, I think Shane is funny as shit, and I think it s cool SNL has him back, good.
5
SPEAKER_02
Well, we talked to him about that podcast, and I asked him, I don t know if, it s a line of demarcation in a sense.
5
SPEAKER_02
Was he doing an impression, a character of someone who says things like that, racist things?
5
SPEAKER_02
Right.
5
SPEAKER_02
And he said yes, but he didn t make it clear.
5
SPEAKER_01
Right, right, right, right, yeah.
5
SPEAKER_00
Well, and all that comedy things get thrown in.
5
SPEAKER_00
Podcasts used to be just underground in basements.
5
SPEAKER_00
It s just like guys talking to each other.
5
SPEAKER_00
It s almost like a CB radio.
5
SPEAKER_00
And then it comes out and then you go, I don t even know what I said on that.
5
SPEAKER_00
And then you re like, oh, because you re talking to your friends.
5
SPEAKER_00
So yeah, I mean, I think you pay the price and you learn from things and move on.
5
SPEAKER_00
But it s nice.
5
SPEAKER_00
Everyone says, hey, the guy s funny.
5
SPEAKER_02
We paid the price, but now the price is right.
5
SPEAKER_02
He s doing very, very well, Shane.
5
SPEAKER_02
You paid the price, and now the price is right.
5
SPEAKER_02
Exactly.
5
SPEAKER_02
Bring back Pumpkin, bring back my favorite Pumpkin, but have Shane do the Tom Hanks part.
5
SPEAKER_02
I don t know.
5
SPEAKER_01
Everyone s like, in unusual in the middle of February, a queue of David Pumpkins without Tom Hanks.
5
SPEAKER_00
Oh, does that suck?
5
SPEAKER_02
You can t do it until... Oh, unless you d have to do some special whatever.
5
SPEAKER_02
I don t know.
5
SPEAKER_01
We did another one with Tom Hanks.
5
SPEAKER_02
I think a couple of seasons ago.
5
SPEAKER_02
Yes, yes.
5
SPEAKER_02
He was just in town at that time.
5
SPEAKER_02
Yeah.
5
SPEAKER_02
Like you want to do.
5
SPEAKER_02
Oh, right, right, right.
5
SPEAKER_00
David Pumpkins.
5
SPEAKER_02
Tom Hanks is in town.
5
SPEAKER_02
Anybody?
5
SPEAKER_02
Tom s in town.
5
SPEAKER_01
Throw on the pumpkin suit.
5
SPEAKER_00
Actually, the bigger the star, the less energy.
5
SPEAKER_00
Tom s here.
5
SPEAKER_01
Okay.
5
SPEAKER_01
Let me...
5
SPEAKER_01
That s such a funny observation.
5
SPEAKER_02
Um, Barack Obama was dropping by.
5
SPEAKER_00
Oh, he didn t say his name.
5
SPEAKER_00
He goes, Barack.
5
SPEAKER_00
Barack Obama.
5
SPEAKER_00
Barack Higginbotham.
5
SPEAKER_02
Um, Putin is in town.
5
SPEAKER_02
He s circling the building.
5
SPEAKER_02
Okay, do it on a scale of these five sketches.
5
SPEAKER_02

Oh, is that Live Report?
5
SPEAKER_02
Yeah, where Margot Robbie is a-
5
SPEAKER_01
I m just her husband, and it s a news report.
5
SPEAKER_00
Is that a husband that can t believe you re together?
5
SPEAKER_02
I honestly, yeah, they were playing you as like it was an impossible matchup, but I didn t really see it that way, you know?
5
SPEAKER_01
Wow, well, that s very nice.
5
SPEAKER_01
I mean, I look at myself next to Margot Robbie and I go, that is an impossible matchup.
5
SPEAKER_01
I would be like, he must be a billionaire.
5
SPEAKER_01
Right.
5
SPEAKER_01
All four of those really, really crushed.
5
SPEAKER_01
Yeah, the dog one is fun.
5
SPEAKER_01
We ve done that a few times and it s always fun because it was it s usually a writer who has to go down and be the dog s hands.
5
SPEAKER_01
Right.
5
SPEAKER_01
Your genetics lab where they make a dog, dog, part human.
5
SPEAKER_01
We just say dog head, man.
5
SPEAKER_01
And then the last time we did it was Martin Hurley.
5
SPEAKER_01
He was down there with from Please Don t Destroy down there doing the hands, which is funny because he s, you know, such a funny dude.
5
SPEAKER_01
He s on camera in these videos and we re like, hey, can you bend down and snuggle up close to this dog in Panama?
5
SPEAKER_00
You need funny hands because a funny guy can get a couple extra laughs out of the hands.
5
SPEAKER_01
Exactly.
5
SPEAKER_01
Yes.
5
SPEAKER_01
So we ended up going with Mark.

SPEAKER_00
Anything else for this kid, Dana?
5
SPEAKER_01
I mean, I have so many questions for you guys, I have to come back on and just ask you guys questions about all your sketches.
5
SPEAKER_02
We like being asked questions, but no one ever asks us any questions.
5
SPEAKER_01
No way.
5
SPEAKER_01
That s completely insane.
5
SPEAKER_01
I mean...
5
SPEAKER_01
I grew up with you guys, so this has been awesome.
5
SPEAKER_00
And I m not gonna be able to listen to it.
5
SPEAKER_00
It s getting worse, Dana.
5
SPEAKER_00
He s like, when I grew up with you guys, I remember when I was one, and I m like, God, it s getting worse.
5
SPEAKER_01
Before I was born, they told me about you guys.
5
SPEAKER_01
I mean, no, that was very formative for me.
5
SPEAKER_02
I would say, I won t get, I said I wouldn t cry, but this is kind of why you- I don t know if you said that.
5
SPEAKER_02
Why you wanna do this is that, it could be money, fame, all this stuff, but if someone, once in a while someone will come up to me in an airport and say some bizarre sketch I did, and me and my friends reference that once a month.
5
SPEAKER_02
You must be getting stuff like that with some of your sketches by now.
5
SPEAKER_01
It s nice to hear, yeah.
5
SPEAKER_01
It is nice.
5
SPEAKER_01
Sometimes.
5
SPEAKER_01
If I was in an airport and saw Dana, I d say, Mr. Fung, on the night of the murders, did you shampoo your hair?
5
SPEAKER_01
Oh, now you ve just blown my mind.
5
SPEAKER_01
You ve just blown my mind.
5
SPEAKER_01
That s that one.
5
SPEAKER_01
Dana had a standup special on Comedy Central that aired.
5
SPEAKER_01
all the time.
5
SPEAKER_01
Yeah, in the 90s.
5
SPEAKER_02
I did a 10 minute bit on OJ.
5
SPEAKER_02
The premise of the bit was for OJ to be, it s either he s guilty or he s framed.
5
SPEAKER_02
Let s unpack him being framed.
5
SPEAKER_02
165 people had to participate spontaneously that night.
5
SPEAKER_02
We re framing O.J., you in?
5
SPEAKER_02
I like O.J., but it s just too good.
5
SPEAKER_02
And it goes on, and then I do a Marcy, what s her name?
5
SPEAKER_02
Yeah, Marsha Clark going, all my years as a prosecutor, I have better.
5
SPEAKER_02
And then Johnny Cochran, why are we even having a trial?
5
SPEAKER_02
Oh yeah.
5
SPEAKER_01
Just as the cool, I think he plays jazz trumpet at the end, right?
5
SPEAKER_01
Your honor, your honor, I d like to have sex with your honor.
5
SPEAKER_01

5
SPEAKER_02

5
SPEAKER_02
You know what Mikey?
5
SPEAKER_01
I can t find it
5
SPEAKER_02
I do that all the time.
5
SPEAKER_02
My persona on this podcast is I do compliment people and I go, maybe it s too syrupy, too over the top.
5
SPEAKER_02
But I assume most talented people have an inner critic somewhere.
5
SPEAKER_02
Where s this drive coming from?
5
SPEAKER_02
Am I really any good?
5
SPEAKER_02
So it s good to hear it from if
6
SPEAKER_02

SPEAKER_02
You re doing great.

SPEAKER_03

6
SPEAKER_03
You guys are very kind individuals for how legendary you are and the roles you ve played in my life, especially.
6
SPEAKER_03
So talking to you guys was truly a thrill and I appreciate it.
6
SPEAKER_03
I would love to come down and weirdly quote lines at you.
6
SPEAKER_03
It s weird when you just kind of throw a quote at someone, but it s like for me, all that stuff is so ingrained in me.
6
SPEAKER_03
So you just want to say, I know this to the person.
6
SPEAKER_00
Yes, I do it to people too.
6
SPEAKER_00
It s fine.
6
SPEAKER_00
I like it.
6
SPEAKER_00
I think it s compliment.
6
SPEAKER_02
When you re sitting there writing a sketch or a stand-up bit, and you re meticulously trying to find the key to the kingdom, basically, and you find it, and it s just a few words strung together, and then someone quotes it to you 30 years later, you re like, ooh, they really heard that?
6
SPEAKER_02
Someone heard that?
6
SPEAKER_02
Yeah, it s weird.
6
SPEAKER_03
You kind of forget about the audience at home when you re doing SNL.
6
SPEAKER_03
You re just so focused on the studio audience and how it is received.
6
SPEAKER_03
You re like, oh, yeah, there s people at home who watched it.
6
SPEAKER_03
And sometimes people will reference a sketch that, you know, air.
6
SPEAKER_03
But you thought, I don t know, I guess it s like a C plus, I guess, like it s forgettable.
6
SPEAKER_03
Yeah.
6
SPEAKER_03
