David, so what have you been up to? You've been out recently. What's been going on? You've been kind of busy lately. What's going on? Well, I had a bit of a snosh, sitch, my nose is perfect, but I had to go and get it worked on

because they said I had something wrong with it. So on the inside, do they go through your nostril? Or do they go through? They went through my butt. They go, we're going to take the long way. They don't, yeah, they go through, they went through my butt. They go, we're gonna take the long way. What?

What? What did we get to the fun part? That's not a fun part. They go through there. And then, are you knocked out at this point? Three hours. Okay. It's not a technically a nose job,

but everyone thinks of this because I go, my nose is broken, she plays, they go, got it, nose job. But it's not, it was just, they had to fix something internally who doesn't even help me, even I brought in a picture of Margot Robbie. And they go, what do you bring in that?

I go, just in case if you want to make it look like that, while I'm under. So I go under, but the funny part was Dana, and this is the, you already look like Margot Robbie. It's like your brother or something, from another mother or something. And his hair's getting long.

I know that's why it's hair is getting long. So it's called a hat when your hair goes bad. So I went in and and what I found out is, you know, we've been talking about it for so long. So now my phone, I get all these ads because your phone listens. So like I get an ad for nose spray, I get an ad for breathing strips. I get ads for a viking and addiction rehab centers. It's just Bobby Moynihan, but he's a very, very down to earth guy. Fun due to talk to we had a great, we were, we were, we immediately opened with talking

about what is one where they're on the elevator. Pumpkins, Mr. Pumpkins. With Tom Hanks, he's crazy elevator guy. David S. Pumpkins. David S. Pumpkins. So funny. One of the weirdest, funniest cult sketches ever. And Tom came back and did it and did it as a cameo, hysterical.

Also, does the single ladies, Beyonce, single ladies is a beautiful, huge physical comedy with Beyonce. And Bobby Moynihan commits whatever he's doing. Funny is how drunk, drunk uncle, another, another smash hit his just saw him get laughs in this Gordon Joseph Gordon. Love it. Come on. So whatever he does, he's getting laughs out there. Great guy to talk to. We had a good chat. And we'll let you get to it. And just to just to reiterate this podcast, we hear another very fascinating, secret, circuitous route to becoming, to getting on Saturday Night Live and then becoming a star of Saturday Night Live. So this is, this ladies and gentlemen is Mr. Bobby one-hand.

I didn't even get a last word, I just said. You're good silent. I know sometimes it's good because when I hear it later I go, please shut up, don't talk. Well that's all I scream with the podcast. Shut your fucking face, that's all I think. But you at least have a cool voice.

I got a weird turn. No, you got a good one. You're so cool. Also, before we go to Bobby, an our great interview, or the interview, then he was great. I mispronounced Mikey,

because I did a TV show with Mickey Rooney years ago, Nathan Lane, one of the boys that could look it up, I kept saying Mickey instead of Mikey. So I apologized and just know that it was a mistake. And I kept calling him George Siegel. So I was real name. That was from, that's a stage name. That's a stage name.

So that's not a policy. So we apologize, but it's not a big deal and who cares. Yeah, Mikey Day is a great comedian on a Saturday night live. I called him Mickey Day, referred to him as Mickey Day, over and over again. But instead of doing Cicero editing, we left it in, and now I'm making this apology slash FYI. Listen.

Um, David. No. David! Goddamn it, that's it. I've been calling you, Damon. I said, my wife says how the podcast goes. Damon was really funny. I think it's a day.

No, my God, he's great. Bobby, what's his name is great? This is a good one. It really is a Daniel spade. It's a look. I get that the name was wrong. The interview was great. I would take a listen.

I enjoyed it. David. Yeah, it's almost almost over but here it is well this is kind of interesting because we have bobby moan and on and over the weekend this is an evergreen show but over the weekend he crushed on Saturday Night Live, which is drunk on call. Maybe your best one. I don't know that, but it was, it was what I thought it when

I saw that. I said, this guy, because when I would go back and guest house, I'd be rusty and a little nervous. But I guess you, you did go back in 2020 and do drunk uncle, but you were so loose and so in the pocket. I don't know if I did. Yeah, I, I, I felt very lucky that I did it right before I did this podcast. Because you know what, we're going to get huge numbers. I was, I didn't, I didn't know, but I was, I was excited. It was, it was very nice to go back and just go,

oh, I'm just gonna go have a good time. I'm just gonna go, I'm not gonna worry. I'm just gonna, I'm not gonna panic. I'm just gonna go have fun. I think the easiest, funnest thing to do is go back, not host, and just go score on something and get all this excitement and then leave it. It's not so.

100%. It also doesn't hurt to have Tom Hanks next to you to go like, and also there, there you go, just in case. Got a good good backup singer, Tom. Yeah, exactly. And Jeff Probe's one of the, and that's how yes. Nothing Tom Hanks can't do. And he's just, he's like, he's so enthusiastic about comedy.

He would just bounce off the walls when he used to host. So I guess let's talk for a minute about this sketch, David S. Pumpkins, which is kind of getting a cult following. I think this was that just the second time you did it in 2013. I looked it up and it floored me. And did, you know, and then you just did it. So talk to that sketch a little bit. We did it once and then like very, very quickly and maybe too quickly did an animated Christmas special.

I mean, an animated Halloween special and then with Tom and then didn't do it again for many, many years and then just came back and did it now after five or six. How did it come about to be right now when you're not hosting in Tom as in hosting? I think I'll be completely honest. I think Rita, Rita Wilson had some singing engagements in town and Tom had a free Saturday. Tom had a free Saturday and was like, it's it's the wind. Let's do David. You know what that means? Yeah.

I got a text on Monday saying, are you available and then didn't hear anything and got flight information on Thursday and I was like, I guess it's happening. Oh, who reaches out to Tom you or to show or Lauren? I believe Tom reached out to Lauren and was like, I'm in town. If you need me. Oh, I was like, I'm in town. If you need me. Was like, here's my favorite for the year or, you know, and that's and then they yeah, man. But I think I also think Tom loves doing it. Like he was there all day Saturday. That's so Tom. So just for a second, I'm sure David's curious too, it's just like the origin of that.

It's a little like it was you and Mickey Day and wrote it kind of and then you pitched it to Tom and 20 Mikey, right? Yeah, we were it was one of those it was one of those done five o'clock in the morning like what's the Halloween show? We want to have something that comes back every year and that we were talking about how there's no Santa Claus for Halloween. And like, but we also had a completely different idea about like being these weird days. Do you remember that video?

There was like a video going around, like a viral video of a, it's like a guy, an Indian guy would press the button on a stereo and he would just start dancing and then the other guys would press stop and he would stop dancing. It was just this weird video and like we were talking about that and we kind of were writing two different sketches at the same time and it wasn't getting anywhere as it is in retelling as well. And it was one of those nights.

That happens at writer nights. That happens a lot. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And then we kind of settled on just like a funny ideas that like nobody knows what David Pumpkins is, like kind of what didn't really. And then by the time it got to dress, by the time it got to dress,

we were like, we have no idea what we have here. And then Tom Hanks was just like, I think I'm just going to be as weird as possible. And it just kind of found itself on air. It was all, it was all, it was, how was read through? Did you do read through with Tom with that? Uh, yeah, read through was, it was great. It had the kind of like the same thing of just like, what? Like, we don't know what this is, but it was funny and it's going through for now. Did you get up or did you stay in your seat? We got up and did the dances.

Yeah. And I think so to he and I think that's what sold it was just like him not knowing what to do with it and his enthusiasm. When the elevator door opens, watching it as a fan and the dances that you and Mickey did were so specific. And the first one, you're like shaking your face and rolling, and then Tom in the middle, I mean, just as a composition, like a painting.

And then, audioily, it's just like doors open, it's like boom, and then they close. There's something really irresistible about that. Can see. A very silly visual. A visual. Yeah. Also, I also truly believe the night at aired was like

the the week before Trump got elected the cold open was I don't remember what it was, but it was very somber and Kate McKinnon was Hillary Clinton and she was saying pretty much was like we'll see what happens next. And like then there was another kind of depressing political sketch and then out of nowhere, there's weird David. There is something to speak to that about madness, just absolute madness. And no real rhyme or reason other than it's just, you know, just so crazy funny. A goofy sketch.

A very goofy thing. Sounds fun. A very goofy thing. A very goofy thing. A very goofy thing. A very goofy thing. A very goofy thing. A very goofy thing.

A very goofy thing. A very goofy thing. A very goofy thing. A very goofy thing. A very goofy thing. A very goofy thing. A very goofy thing. A very goofy thing.

A very goofy thing. A very goofy thing. A very goofy thing. A very goofy thing. A very goofy thing. A very goofy thing. A very goofy thing. A very goofy thing. A very goofy thing. A very goofy thing. A very goofy thing. A very goofy thing. A very goofy thing. A very goofy thing. A very goofy thing. A very goofy thing. A very goofy thing. A very goofy thing. A very goofy thing. A very goofy thing. A very goofy thing. A very goofy thing. A very goofy thing. A very goofy thing. A very goofy thing. A very goofy thing. A very goofy thing. A very goofy thing. A very goofy thing. A very goofy thing. A very goofy thing. A very goofy thing. A very goofy thing. A very goofy thing. A very goofy thing. A very goofy thing. A very goofy thing. A very goofy thing. A very goofy thing. A very goofy thing. A very goofy thing. A very goofy thing. I don't think they do it there now. Now they do it in the studio because of COVID. But when we looked at the, when we look at the, like, you know, we would look at the 25th anniversary book because they had the pictures of me. Oh, yeah, where was that?

Where everybody sat and I sat in Farley's seat. And I like, oh, I know exactly where it is. You're kind of pain-waving. I think when you're walking, Lauren. When you walk in the writer's room, you look straight out those windows. So you walk in, writer's room, you look straight out those windows. So you walk in, there's a big square, or sort of say, well, Lauren used to be back to the windows and the guest host, the guest host, the guest host, the window to get like a

smidgen of the 30 degree air in that boiling room. And then next to him, if you're looking at the windows to the left was host. And then I think I took over Dana because then you round the corner and it was me. I had a good spot there, but I sat behind Dana for a while and then Dana came in. Yeah, but David would sit behind me, but like every week I look back and he just scooch in his chair. Just a little bit closer to me. I'd look at what whisper I'm next. It was funny because I think Farley, where were you? Was that? You had your back to the doors? Yeah, back to the doors, sort of to the away from the, but

anyway, on that back side of the square, facing the window was where Chris was. Yeah, I was there when I first got there and then moved over to the other side, closer to where the host was for most of it. But like that was Keenan spot next to the host was just they just put years. We should say for our 20 years. Keenan I now I'm such a fan of his because he just projects joy with every line he says. And he always hits it perfect. Like he, he never stumbles. Yeah. Consumnet professional and like the same comic timing since he was eight.

Yeah, just had it. I feel like he lost Dana. I feel like Keenan lost his nerves. I mean, at certain point you just go, hey, I'm just gonna fucking have fun and milk has show. I know, I know it's, should be this scary. There's no reason for it. go, hey, I'm just gonna fucking have fun and milk out the show. I know, I know, it's, shouldn't be this scary. There's no reason for it. I'm here.

I'm not getting fun. And then it makes it so much more fun. I would say for me personally, I wanna ask Bobby that I was the loosest, the last sketch I did, on the last show. And I remember thinking, that's the best I've ever been in terms of my own inner psychological profile. So for you, Bobby, so you were there 2008 to 17, nine years.

How do you feel in terms of that fear factor or feeling loose by 17 compared to, oh, eight, did you evolve or were you one of those savants that you just didn't get nervous out there? My first episode, I had a space space camp but no I like my first episode I was like I got this this the bed and then the second one was when the fear started and where the cue cards and and all that but my last episode that I did I got to the studio and just started throwing up I got like violently. Wow. Wow. I'm guessing a mix of like nerves and wanting to not wanting to leave and wanting to leave and all that stuff. But like I just, I don't know, I just got sick.

I just got super, super sick the last day. But it was, it was a wonderful day. But going back now and doing it five years later and like flipping on a switch that hasn't been on for five years. Like it was bonkers. And like I go like, oh, that's the best I've ever done on that show because I had a bit of that keen and where I was just like, I'm just,

I'm just, I didn't shave. I just had a good time. I could absolutely feel that. I looked at a lot of other drunk drunk guy. Anyway, what's the name drunk drunk drunk drunk drunk drunk drunk drunk drunk and you were always super loose. But on this past Saturday, it was I thought it was almost the next level thing like you kind of didn't need the cue cards or something, but we were so in the pocket. It was fun. I was in a different place. I called him Seth. I called Colin Seth and everyone was like, that was a great joke.

And I was like, I was 100% by accident. I also, you're focusing on two bits and that's it. And then you know, your laser focus and that you have nothing else to worry about. Exactly. And like we were right after we were, I was this David pumpkins was the first sketch of the night at dress. And then at on air, it was right after update. So like I had just enough of a quick change. Oh, just enough of a quick change to remind me that like I'm 45 and I haven't done this in five years. That's just

the singularity of SNL that you're playing drunk, drunk, drunk, on Cole with the beard and everything. And then you go and get in a skeleton costume. Do you have the people changing you? Do you get a mirror? Because sometimes I would say, can I look at myself for a second? Well, now it's completely different. Like now you're doing it in the studio and not, well, it was Jody. And like, it was people I know and like, Louis, but also there's a,

a GoPro camera right here getting a time lapse of you doing your physical change. You're like at your most vulnerable and sweaty and like ripping it. And they're filming it with a GoPro and they're like, it's like, you're just like, oh, bye. And you're just in your underwear at one point for a second. It's you're just bare naked face. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It's a lot of fun. You stand like a scarecrow and then they just rip everything off you. And someone who has a writer, yeah, is yelling your lines that you go and remember at the beginning, it's a little different. And then at the end, you're going to be read on cards. Not going to slap your butt three times. Don't even have to slap.

Yeah, I like when it goes buying. When you go to be the boob. I love the face at the end of the face at the end where the scared people on the ride and the top makes a lot. When he the dumber he gets it the happier I get. Yeah, this is because I know he's having a good character that are happier for the watch the stupid the more dumb I act yeah yeah good lord and so he comes in and when you by the way when you walk in the room people at home

you do dress here so it's exactly like the real show but probably harder it's longer and you don't know if you're on the real show, but you're giving it everything. They have an audience. Then they go in and pick the sketches, which is excruciatingly long because you're waiting, waiting, waiting, and then around 11, you walk in there, crammed in the, if they still do it Lauren's office. They don't now. No.

Why? I was gutted. I was gutted and angry. They do was good at an angry they do it at Madison's where they do it at Madame two so they every I was like they're they're calling the meeting and I go to head upstairs and they're like it's in the studio now and I was like no no I don't like it I'm resisting it you mean the fear the fear of going into

dad's room. A tight room. And on a sit at the desk and he had the only comfortable spot. Everyone else is jammed and tired. And everybody else we're all on the ground like animals. Right. And then you walk in and you look at the board and you see if your sketches move to the side meeting. It's out because they still have to trim the show.

It's right. Two hours of rest and then it gets cut down. But you see, but you see pumpkins was first. And when after update, did that hurt you? Did that hurt your course? Of course, it brings back that terrifying feeling of like, what did we do wrong? And then you're like, and then you hear, well, it's for quick changes.

And I'm like, I don't believe you. I don't believe you. And it killed too hard. Is that bad? I did for nine years, but this time I've had five years to say. And now I don't believe you. And it killed too hard. Is that bad? I did for nine years, but this time I've had five years to say and now I don't believe you. I wonder what that is. You think just get off the ground with the fucking.

Well now it's a viability. So at least on my feed, it was like, you know, David S. Pumpkins and Drunk Uncle come back to SNL. So that's, it's a different. We didn't, my day, We didn't have you to you. You don't have anything. We didn't just we was primitive man. Well, I like that you sound old too, Bobby,

because you're you're saying like that right through room and this and that and everything's are different and I'm glad it stuck through Dana through me through all the way through you. And then it changes it's but I feel like I was there for the turn of not turnover, but the transition. Like when I first got there, Amy and Darrell were still there and like shoemaker and Marcy Klein, I think maybe the last person like hired, I was under Marcy maybe or close to. Could we ask you about that because we had Nick Crowle on and he

asked. I love him with a brilliant of course. And it's says there's a lot of whimsy and weirdness to how you get this show or don't get it. But I guess there was a big audition on the sixth floor and Nick was in and he told the story of that. Were you in that audition? I believe so. I think so. I think you would have been. I think that Nick mentioned you. Yeah. So I think so. Yeah, I think you would have been I think that Nick mentioned you. Yeah. Ellie Kemper like TJ Miller. There was a lot of people. There we have done again.

Yeah. Oh, yeah. Yeah. We talked to him as well about it. Another brilliant comedian, but he had a they both have very strange stories about going out too soon and just Lauren was the only one there. There nobody's here and it was just tilted, uh, pushed out the first time. Don't go out. It was the only one there. There, nobody's here. And it was just tilted, pushed out the first time. Don't go out.

It was just a horror show. So what was your experience there? And for a second, just what led you to get there? Was it from second city in Chicago? Or where did you come from? I was doing, I was in New York. I was doing a bright citizens brigade. I, I, I, oh, you see be guy.

Yeah, I was a character. You know, I was like a character. Yeah, I was doing UCB and kind of met like Amy and Seth and Horatio through that, doing that ASCAT. And then I was doing Horatio Sans' improv tour. Like he was doing college shows and I was doing that. And then kind of my sketch group got on the radar of Mike Schumaker and I think that was kind of how and then I auditioned, got called back with a bunch of very, very talented people and

was then told, I was like, I think we'll start you in January. Like I met with Lord and he was like, Brian William is hosting that scene from like a good one. But he never said you got the job and I was just like, what's happening? And then, two days a summer though, you're saying January? But no, and then two days later was the writer's strike and I heard nothing for nine months. Oh, whoa. Like it just like like went like and I didn't get it. I ended up not getting it because during they were I guess during the writer strike, Maya Rudolph had a baby. So they hired Casey Wilson and I didn't get it. They hired a woman instead.

So I am and Casey's a good friend of mine and I was so excited. But it was devastating for me. So wait a minute, you've almost got it and then you went back in line. Okay, and then what happened? Back didn't get it. So it was like 14 months in total. And then all of a sudden out of nowhere, I got a call saying like, hey, do you want to come in again this week? I went on a Wednesday. I did like all new stuff. And then, or found out on Monday, went in on Wednesday, and like found out on Friday that I got it. And then the next week I was on the show. Oh shit, my pants, productions, my God. I would be like, what?

Yeah, it was nuts. After 14 months. How many years as a comedian or sketch comedian or you know at that point how far were you into this? I was older. I was 31 when I got it. Hey me too. Yeah.

There you go. Hey bro, you see B. Yeah. Yeah. I bro. But so you were super expert. Did you do it in college? Like did you do a lot of theater and college and stuff and high school or you?

I did. I did theater and then like yeah, yeah, I did a lot of plays and musicals and and and stuff like that. And then right after college came back to New York was doing a like a play Saw upright citizens brigade saw an improv show there and went like oh no I was taking Stand-up classes at comic strip live and I was like oh no I was like this is I don't think this is for me and then Took saw the improv class and was like oh this is this is more of a fit Just for a second were you the type of kid who put on shows for your parents or siblings and stuff? Where you go back and like it? on shows for your parents or siblings and stuff where you go back and like it. I mean, I definitely was a watch me.

Did you do little voices? What were you like as a kid performer? I was never good. Never good at impressions or accents or anything, but I was very, very like watch me. Look at me. Look at this dumb thing. Look at the stump thing. Were you the type when you jump in the pool, you go watch, watch, watch. And you really weren't doing this dumb thing. I can't get this dumb thing. Were you the type when you jumped in the pool,

you go, watch, watch, watch, and you really weren't doing anything that great? One billion percent, and it got out of the pool and did the exact same thing. Well, I know, watch again. No, I'm gonna do it on my, put a little tweet gun a little bit on my cannonball. So embarrassing.

So you, how did you deal with the nerves of that audition? 14 months later, did you feel like, oh, fuck it? I probably won't get it again or you lost it to Maya's baby this time The baby's my as baby should definitely be at least a feature player. You know she's she's Camerready she's got You know she comes as a learning family. Everyone has a Lauren. David, do your Lauren. Oh, my is baby is it's just you don't even need to see her, but she's already got hired. I mean, it just it's just the jeans. Bobby, you know, it's that thing when your mother's superstar, you know, her grandmother

sang a song. What you get into thing is a great word for Lauren. Thing is, it covers a lot. Thing of like. My favorite was always, we would always do CNN sketches and went, you know, like in on the sketch, it said CNN bumper. So we would every week was CNN bumper. Oh, Lauren reading the read through.

And any time there's a CNN. Oh, that's good. I've heard that. CNN bumper. Yeah. Lauren has his read through voice. Because he read all the stage. Oh, stage direction good. I've heard that. CNN bumper. Yeah. Lauren has his read through voice. Is it? What is it all stage? Oh, stage reaction. That's right. He reads stage reaction. Stage direction.

Google in the honey pot. Turn the page. My favorite, my favorite. Lauren note during in between dress and air meeting. Very long silence. Very tense meeting. There was about five seconds in silence, and then he just went, we have a boom shadow on fart face. It was a personal gift to everyone in the room. We were all like, that was beautiful. It was some sketch called fart face, and that's all he said out of the room. Sometimes he does when he does read through, like he'll surprise you, because he's so bored

by sketch 44, like if I have the receptionist coming up and they and Mike Schroom take her berries at the end and then at the end they go, it's like sketch 41 and everyone's nodding off. Then he here goes, the receptionist. Yeah. So he says it like, oh look at this. I love it.

Let's hope it does well. Yeah, he reads this one. Look at this one. I love it. Let's hope it does well. Yeah, he reads the title before you read the sketch. And he, yeah, it's funny that he gives a little spin. I did, I did the fart face one. I've said this once before, but it's, I wrote a sketch called Funny Little Pupi Had. And I had the state direction. He said Funny Little Pupi Had like 500 times.

Funny Little Pupi Had shitched out. Funny Little Pup, he said, funnilyl poopy had like 500 times. Funnilyl poopy had shitched out. Funnilyl poopy had sad. Love it's his turning purple. Anyway, so you do, you, you, because you love Lauren and you just do all that. One of the gutting, one of the gutting moments, me and Tim Robinson wrote a sketch. I believe it was, it was just, uh, it was a throwback to like old SNL where I wanted to just write a jingle. And all I remember about it was, it was a split screen to like old SNL where I wanted to just write a jingle and all I remember about it was it was a split screen

And we were talking on the phone and and after in the Pulled back and revealed we were on the toilet and the thing was just it's two best friends who talk on the phone while they're taking a dump and It was terrible. It was absolutely awful and at the end of the sketch Lauren in complete silence just went and the Emmy goes to. That's what Lauren is funny. That's the dry throw away. It's funny. It's funny. Ten years later in the moment you want to you want to. You want to. You know, if there was a one percent chance that's getting on now, it's zero. Yeah. It was, it was a, it was a blast.

It was good. It was also good to see him again recently and not be terrified and just go like, yeah, that was fun. We did him for this. We met him and I've seen him for days. It was so good. It's just fun to see him when you're, you're still a little, you know, it's a little odd because he's like dad ball over the couch, our teacher, but just, you know, you're you're still a little, you know, it's a little odd because he's like dad

boss. Our teacher, but just, you know, you realize at a certain point, he just, he wants to hang on have fun. And he did say something that was very interesting. Remember Dana when he was living, he said, people say, are you going to retire? And he goes, I would be worried. I wouldn't be around funny people. Like he says, I'm so lucky.

I'm a funny people. Are you going to be around funny people? The specific quote he said about funny people. To me, this was in New York, he goes, there's only 900 of us on the planet. Have you heard that one? Yeah, I have heard him say it and I've heard you say it. It's so specifically, brilliant.

But what happens is you just when you see Lauren away from the show show because he has all the power and you make fun of the teacher, then you kind of see that he's he's kind of he's he's very sensitive guy, you know, and very vulnerable. Go ahead. Yeah. You you always talk about or like you always tell a story about like when you first met him it with Paul at his house and stuff. And like I've never had that experience. Like I remember one time they asked me to like, he was like, we're coming back from LA. If you want to fly with us and I remember being like, I ain't getting on that plane.

Like that. Like I'm like, at the time and like that, that was apparent this time going back. Like, oh, I should have been so much more at ease with him because he is not as scary in any time. Do you want to have anxiety for six and a half hours? Yeah, exactly. Do you want to question this next six hours for the rest of your life?

I was on Long Island with Lauren at his house in Amagusa, just the two of us for a weekend. And we drove around a sports car and we looked at things and he saw a little shed and he goes, if I lose everything I could live there and then Because Lauren has this repetition being area died, you know, we went to a movie and a Matt Nay We're just in the theater and would you like some of my popcorn? You know, just humanized him. I don't know But he's it. There's only one Lauren. It's it's true It's nuts, but at the same time in a way, like I remember meeting you Dana for the first time you when you came and hosted like I got to do a church chat. I was snooki. Yes.

Yes, I remember. Yeah. I like that. That was the first moment that truly broke my brain at that show when you're like you watch something your entire life and then you become a part of it and then you're sitting sitting two feet away from something you used to dress up as a Halloween and like it was nuts like that you know it's like that that crazy feeling I don't know if you remember David I met you when we did grownups too Nope, not at all. I was in grownups too and we had lunch together and it's like it's like we're with Nick's Wardens and was there and it's like it's just it's with Nick Swordsman was there. And it's like, it's just, it's mockers. Everybody there was like, Lauren to me. I wish I had been like a little more.

Right. I know. All I remember from that is I wrote my diary. I wish Nick wasn't at that lunch. And when you went back this time, Bobby, did you, you, there are cast members there that were in the pumpkin sketch. I mean, that I think are just two shows in. Bump three.

Three. The pumpkins. Sorry. Jimmy pumpkins. I went to community college. I know. I know. Pumpkins. AKA Tom Hanks. So you were there with young cast members. And did they mention being fans of yours or asking any questions? What was it like to be around seeing how fresh they are and kind of scared Most would they have to be a little no one was scared no one was scared. I was super confident was amazed at how no one was scared Really, yeah, I just remember a lot of fear Sure, they don't yeah me too But then there's Keenan who's just like you know Keenan like was there when I got there

I watched him get the show and he'll be there after I die. And like, having that was the best. Like, him and Cessaly were the only ones there still from when I was there. But it's bonkers. Having Jack Harlow, the host, who's like 24, he's like, man, I grew up with you on this show. And I'm just like, oh, Jesus, like that is the first time.

Sure. Well, it's the, like, I think I was a kid when I got it pretty much. So now it's like, I even started one, but like, it just feels crazy to get to that. Like, I can't believe I'm in the, I'm coming back phase of my SNS. It gets more interesting as you go along the ladder. So, yeah, I got it. Is it funny, Bobby, when you realize like if it was the same for you, maybe day and a two, we had, you know, hard lines in our dressing room.

So, or in our office, not dressing room. But when you get people that you go, oh, this is the most important thing to everyone I know and then you leave and you go, nobody gives a fuck. Like, that's a wake-up call. That's hugely, yeah, yeah, it's hugely apparent. When I was on the show, that was my life. The show was my life.

Now I got a kid, like my wife, my pandemic happened, parents, you know, just like, I have like so many things happened and you go like, oh, this is silly. Right. When you go, did you guys think that the fifth sketch should have been fourth and they're like, on what? You're like, the show I'm on, they're like, oh, I didn't, I was outside of it.

I didn't know. And then I felt like when I left and I go, there's, there's still doing the show without me. And then later on, I'm seeing Will Ferrell and Amy Polar and and Bill Hader. I go, and they're doing it better than me. Yeah. Who did you come in with, Bobby, in 2008? You kind of was it with Bill Hader and you had Amy or who was on the, because you had some heavy hitters. Like, yeah, I came into that amazing, that amazingly established cash. It was like Kristen Wigg, Bill Haters, Adakus, Andy Sandberg, Brad, Armason.

Are you reading this? I am. I am. I went back into and all season by the time you came in, they'd been there four, five years or two years or something like that. I was the first cast member to come in in a couple years and also the only one my season. John Mulaney came in as a writer as well. We shared an office.

Was Fred Armison mean? Was Fred Armison kind of mean? The meanest. The famous asshole Fred Armison. No, the nicest guy in the world. That's why you nervous. Like I was nervous. So I knew Dana a little bit.

I was still nervous around him because in his, in the pocket at SNL and Dennis, I knew still weird because when you're in there, it's a big fucking deal. And then going up and asking questions or saying, do you want to write something with me or it's just weird. Like Kristen Wigg and she's like royalty there. You know, it was that the first year was like everyone was really nice. something with me or it's just weird like Kristen Wigg and she's like royalty there you know it's yeah it was that the first year was like everyone was really nice and the second year was when I kind of realized like oh I think I I think no one really wants to hang out and talk about

schedule you know not like it was like that was when you started on your own yeah yeah yeah took me a while to figure that out did you partner up with somebody or get some chemistry with the writer or another cast member? Obviously you and Mickey Day with David as pumpkins. Yeah, a bunch. I shared a office with John Mulaney. I had known him. He was wonderful. He's great.

Ryan Tucker and Colin Joost was a writer at that time and we wrote a bunch together and a great writer. Once, Accessalie came along, we did a bunch of sketches together and yeah. You know, it's interesting that like Phil obviously the shinier objects like Dana and Dana, let me finish. You heard me say that. No, that's a compliment because Dana, but you got Phil, if you're going to put them in your sketch, you just stop worrying because he will get A,

everything out of it and more. And so those are unsung heroes that take longer to figure out how good they are. I mean, people in the business get it, but it takes the audience, you know, if they don't jump out in a big sketch that's like, like Lorraine Newman, like, you know, Chris Parnell, like those guys, like, just like, like, accessible to me is just like essential. She's a, yeah, it's just that we learned being stand-ups to just working with other people and loving it when you're killing together, like filling Jan on church chat or fill as Ed McMahon, that partnering with people, Mike Myers and Kevin Daniel was so much fun coming from stand up where it's killer be killed. It's just you

against the world. Could I, could I fan out for a minute? Because I did a deep dive on Bobby Moynihan. Because when there's, you see your best of back to back. And you realize that you're kind of like Phil, you can play anything, but then sometimes you play stuff that's like supernatural, like out there. That I really rocked me, the kitty cat guy, the commitment of that character. I saw that one.

Can you just explain that sketch? And I thought, this isn't gonna work. You know, and then it just went into a whole other, I mean, you can, anyway, explain how that character came about. The character came out. I feel like a lot of my sketches on, like, right address. I went like, this isn't gonna work, and it just ends up relying on, like, weird performance sometimes.

It was all you. That was all set up for you. Everyone else was straight, and you just kept escalating it, and winding down into it, This cute little boy on a spaceship who won't do anything. They asked him to do except he's just in love with his kitty cat. I mean, it's like, so stupid. I was on a camping trip and like a friend of a friend brought a friend and that guy, total stranger. Yes, pretty much was just being silent and took a couple beers and went in a tent and then came out

Much much later in the night and sat down and like Kind of looked like he was crying and we like hey, man. Are you okay? And he just went I missed my little cake cat and and and we were like And then we I proceeded to write a tell somebody at work about that and they were like let's put them in a spaceship where people can't get away from it Yeah, also there's another layer of just to make sure I interrupt you the layer of the people talking They're kind of funny talking like the movie alien or that's yeah, they're so serious a layer of comedy there Yeah, and I go that's's going to be about that. And then it sort of switches.

And then the best ones are like, you don't really predict what's going on. Would it be putting you on the spot, Bobby, to move toward the mic and just do a little bit of that character so the audience knows what? Because it was sort of a little boy bit. It was something different. I just would get, I would just try to be the creepiest, like, weird, adorable man. A doorway where I would just go, I miss my little cake, yeah. That's it. You're squeezing your diaphragm.

Which is what the guy sounded like. Yeah. It was bizarre. I also wanted to point out, for people who are drunk, Uncle fans, the non-sec order aspect of it is incredible. It, the guy hates progress. It's kind of as sneakily, the guy hates progress.

It's sneakily, slightly edgy with the immigrant stuff and the stuff that guy can say in his own way. So it's sneakily a little more than just a drunk guy. It's actually got some weight to it a little bit. It was, it was weird because it's like, we haven't done it in five years just the first time. The last time I did it was with Trump,

like, you know, like, like, Oh, with the actual Trump? When, when he was there and like, we said like a bunch of terrible stuff about how racist he, well, like, I was like, he's just like me very racist and stupid. And like, he came over to me and shook my hand. Like, thank you for saying such nice things about, and I was like, I don't think you got what happened

there. Like the whole point of Drunkgoogle was like, the stuff I'm saying is abhorrent. Right. Exactly. I always know when people call up and they're like, I love Drunkgoogle man. I think just like him. And I'm like, oh, no. But uh, so it was hard to come like to kind of reconcile that after Black Lives Matter and come back and go like, oh, no. But, uh, so it was hard to come, like, to kind of reconcile that after Black Lives Matter and come back and go like, is this funny to do anymore? Like the lovable race. And five years of change is getting completely. And my pitch was like, maybe he's a little woke after the pandemic.

And they were just like, nobody wants to hear woke drunk. I was like, I get it. Oh, yeah. It's just finding that line of like, I know what I'm saying is very stupid and I'm making fun of that and I hope you understand. You know, it's funny when the guys like that, you could do where he is trying to be woke

and everything comes out so wrong. We got like a couple of those into this one where he just said like, I know now that black atoms matter. Like, he's trying, He's trying. Yeah. That's that is a lot of, there's a lot of huggers. There's a lot of people I know that's still. And then they get mad if they're corrected at all. They're like, Oh, okay.

So no, no, no, ask grabbing. But what if they like it? You're like, we did a quick poll. And so how many times you do the McDonald's firing people? Was that just a one off? Was that the couple? I think we did it like three or four times, maybe two or three times. Because that one also must have been really fun to perform where you are two employees of

McDonald's. You think you're getting fired and then you just dissect all the other employees and just shit all over them going back and forth. That was just me and Cessely trying the tactic of like this is like, you know how like at us now there's like character parade sketch or the impression parade sketch or like you write like if I write a a a a a game show this week it might help to get on. So like we were just like let's write a sketch with every cast member in it where we just get to go through every cast member and Terrem apart, like trying to be funny. And that was literally it was just like, what

if we wrote something that had every cast member? Yeah, that's when they walk around Dana, like Marcy or she made through, you know, maybe you could put Ellen in that or Ellen. Well, the little edge to it was like Terran. Terran. Killian. He had. He had such a murderer. He had such a great because they would just go to close up with no lines. Like today, because he had a funny angle. And they got laughs too. So that was, you know, extremely funny. When in doubt, when in doubt, cut to Keenan making a face always. Cast pieces are always at score and for people listening like when you're writing

If the the only little tricks there are there aren't many but Big cast is good give the what what does the host doesn't do anything. He's a prop Like you know if you write a funny character and then like I told Dana when I've told people it wrote one when David Bowie was there, the receptionist and then he comes in and blah blah, but he wanted, he liked it, but then he said, I want to be the receptionist. And I was like, oh, wait a second, but that's understandable because you're the funny one and you're and it is a prop. And you don't really think like that because you're so focused on I just got to get a character

That makes sense and it's funny and you finally get that and cast is a little better at that, you know Had you done it before or was that the first time I had not done it and I was gonna say you want that to happen three times in If that happens then there's a way to explain it a little bit and spring steam wanted to do church lady He was a musical guest and I was early on and I was like, Bruce, not kidding. Okay. I was gonna say, Jesus. I was like, I believe it.

I believe it. I think the lady is someone who can say the thing that other people can say. I think of you more as a feature player. I think this, it might be too many lines for you. And I don't, I don't want to put that much on you. Did you have, cause meeting Springsteam was a thrill and he walked on the eight-h and the Wayne's World set was there and he's like, so that's what it looks like. You know, stuff like that. Did you have stuff like that where

you're meeting musicians and movie stars and it's just fun. I mean, I'm part of this enough. Constantly. I mean, like, I think I mean, like, I was I was a super fan of the show when I when I got it. Like, I don't like, I. Like I don't know, I grew up on it for many, many generations. Like you guys, but like when you came and hosted for church lady, like that was nuts. That was the first time where it was like playing and where you really realized like playing in that playground

of like you just get to jump into these worlds that you've loved for so long. Yeah, you see the church chat set and then you go sit in it. And like, I'm in the sketch. And nookie is a very big character for you. I mean, you crushed with that. She had all this tanner on

and this blue dress and the crazy hair. That was like the first thing that hit for me was Nookie where like the first real first thing. Was it update? I think I saw you do update and I was like, oh my God, because I think Heyter comes in in a situation and you're like, have to explain who it is.

And I'm like, oh, is this really, really early on? Because I was flipping through the channels and just saw some girl get punched in the face. And I was like, what is this? And watched it. And it was like that week. And then the week after I did it was like when Snookie like people were like talking about her.

Yeah. And then that year I did the MTV Movie Awards dressed as her with her and she came over to me and was like, nobody knew who I was and then you did me on SNL and now I make 30 grand for personal appearances. 30 grand. That's a lot. Yeah, it was a lot. It was a lot. I can open for. appearance. That's a lot. Yeah, it was a lot. I can open for it.

Yeah, yeah. You do snooki, snooki on an update. And that's a nice one. Is that early for you also? Seems a while ago. I had like a couple, like my fourth episode, like I was like of this Beyonce sketch with single ladies that did really well.

And like that, that kind of like started and then snooki, yeah. And then like I got, I think I got a little more confident at update because of snooki and then like drunk uncle started happening. And then like most of, most of my stuff that people remember got on to update. Cause that's, I think that's where I was. Days of score. Anathane. Anathane. Anthony Chris.

Yeah. Oh yeah. I saw Anthony. Chris. Pino. Was it? You know, Anthony. Chris. Pino. Just. Hey. So that was a very what give us that accent a little bit. It was really specific. What was it from? It was just my dad would always look around when he would tell you something like there was a spy there. And I just always thought that was funny and The idea of just not giving any information, but I Like everything just got progressively higher and more ridiculous as I

Dena did you see that one where he has Ryan Gosling with him because Dana, did you see that one where he has Ryan Gosling with him? Because first of all, nothing better on update. You got a character at works. And if you want to jack it up, bring out the host. That was also, yeah, sorry. And he's funny and he looks funny and then he is funny. That was the first time where the host, like at the host meeting, they were like, this is Ryan Gosling and he,

everyone clapped and he was like, I want to do an Anthony Chrisino. And I like was like, oh, wow. That is chill. That was the first time that happened and only time probably for me. And it was, it was, it was a lot of fun. He was great. He's a stud. Yeah. Dana used to get that for Wayne's World, or, you know, I can't, I can't imagine. And then, and then Lauren would go, um, Dana, Mike, what do you think? Um, we're thinking of a Wayne's World maybe this week with Madonna and arrow Smith. Do you think that'll get numbers? Could be. I don't know.

Well, Stephen Tyler has a certain sort of chop that we could use. And you know, that except thing of like Bobby's here, but he's not here. What? and you know, that exact thing of like Bobby's here, but he's not here. What? Oh yeah. Now Bobby, when you do the good nights, I used to have to count those as a sketch unfortunately. Um, because David, we get on my shoulders at the good nights

and I would carry him around the stage. All my shoulders, remember that David? Yeah, I like that. That's right. When people announce me, when people announce me, I like to try and throw that in. Like you know him when people announced me when people announced me I like to try and throw it in like you know him for best. You know, you know, he's characters from us. No, good drunk uncle. The good nights.

I throw that in there. They knew even the good nights and I'd grab Farley and I go you didn't earn it this week. Go back. And then who I don't know is for the lens on your cast, Bobby. For the nose for the good. Who's a hugger always ended up front? Oh, that's the host, hugger. I love that. I love that. Yeah. I feel like we had a couple.

That's fun. I was the opposite to a fault where I was just like, thank you for being here. Sorry. I was in your way. And like, didn't know better. I think I should have been acted more like a confident self. My tactic was like football. I would go back around, do my route. I'd go in the back, wait, and then I'd go right down the middle, get between Farley and David and then boom, FaceTime. It was a boom, just for you.

The frown that I did every time. I always stood on one side and said hi to my mom. I like it for nine years. That was it. I mean, mouth did. It is the same thing. I just like that was just that's cute. That's an angle too.

I like that. For the late. The worst is if you go up the hug the host and they turn and hug my ears or someone and then you look away and you go, that's when I'm on camera when I got iced yeah Your hands are up in the hug position, but they turned and you're just holding it there for a second very risky My favorite back my favorite good nights moment and it's it was caught on camera was being there and Having John McCain I caught eyes with John McCain like through the crowd. And for some reason

he got real excited and like beeline, like pushing through keen and Pete Davidson and people just to get through gets to me and throws his arm around me and goes always a pleasure to her ratio. Oh, yes, it was, it was amazing. My friends, my friends, Joe calls. I need some McCain. This is not how it works here, motherfucker. You do Gary's channeling you to get the John McCain.

Oh, is that John McCain? What is it Gary's channeling you to? My friends, my friends, friends. That's all I remember. I don't do them anymore. But whatever. Robbie, when you were up there, and did I see a clip of,

maybe it was you with McCartney? Oh, yeah. Good nights. They were singing or something. Was it Christmas show or something? Yeah, that was like absolutely. And Springsteen. Yeah, it was like they, they, they were,

Paul McCartney was there, but Bruce Springsteen was the musical guest. It was the Christmas show and Tina and Amy were hosting. And at dress. Good God. They were like, yeah, and at dress, they like, they pulled everybody off because Bruce, it was going to do Santa Claus is coming to town at the end of the show. And so everyone kind of left the stage and went like into the tunnel.

Almost. Yeah. And then on air for some reason, he just pulled Amy and Tina up. And then he was like, come on guys. So everyone jumped on stage for that. And it was you better not cry. You better not proud. I'm trying to.

Anyway, love spring. She I can't do it. Yeah. And then um, McCartney there too. I mean, she's the two. The guy had a moment with McCartney. we're just during a rehearsal where he popped out of the host, you know, like they have the dressing rooms over on the side near the page desk. And he just popped out with a pizza box in his end and went, does anybody want pizza? And me and Jen, I don't do clearly. Don't do a poll. And me and Jen, I Russ a ton of the stage

manager just went inside and had a slice of pizza with them and talked about New York pizza And it was like those moments where you just go like yeah, this place is not I think he tries to be normal And he would rather just sometimes just drop it just like be normal especially around there He just you're on funny people and talented people if you want to sound like him Bobby just everything is a question So we like would you like some pizza, which is also a question? Always goes up. Yeah. It's like pizza.

Some pizza nine years on us and I can't do an impression to save my life. I just I just played a lot of loud Italians. You do have this tailor, Bobby, and he, uh, every time I don't know why I go to because every time I go, I just want these pants then I Go what he goes he throw in you don't want them thin it looks weird When I went the ground I know the shoes I go fighting my shoes and then he goes and they're too skinny

I go I look at him as his pants are like each two feet wide you know and I go why am I looking at you? You know you know why don't I going to someone that looks kind of close? You don't want to double break, they tell me. They go, uh, double break. Right. He goes, this should be dragging. I know that on the seashoes. Everything I do, I want to get the, get the sleeves. No, he fights me in everything. I go disappointed. That's a character you would do if you're on SNL. That would be a potential sketch with the host, especially if it was John Ham or someone, you know, studly guy. Yeah, I got

my, when I got my suit for my wedding, the guy who fitted me for my suit, his name was Lionel. He had an L on his, on everything. Everything was monogrammed. And he kept telling me, he kept, he kept going, he'd go waste my time, okay? Don't waste my time. And I was like, this guy's an SNL character. I'm going to do it this week. I wrote the sketch in five minutes. I was like, this is going to crush. This is my target lady. This is my, my, you know, this is my bye bye. And, uh, went, go in and it just tanks by page two. And then I'm like, oh, guy, I got that weird drunk uncle thing in the second half, hopefully that'll work.

So why didn't you say the catch phrase? What was the catch phrase again? I like it. I was, it was just, he was just like, I hate everything you're wearing, stop wasting my time. Stop wasting my time. That's a good catch phrase.

Yeah, yeah, that was it. He was just very confident and mean. I've seen, what about Dana and someone does a catchphrase and then, and it bombs. So I page two and they've eight more pages and then like, you know what was funny? Those like I came in at a time where like, we were still kind of doing those sketches.

Like old SNL sketches now they're called old where it was like a theme song and then a crazy character, like Gilly was like kind of the last one we did because yeah, the funny when I first got there the first year I remember Andy Sandberg being like, hey that video we did they're gonna put it on this thing called YouTube and I was like, what is that? And he was like, it's this website that it's just gonna have videos, he's like, and I was just like, well good luck man, that sounds terrible. Like, you know, and that'll never work. And that'll never work.

And then like, by my fourth or fifth episode was the first time we were in HD. And then like, you couldn't do reoccurring characters anymore because they would put them on YouTube. And like, people could see them immediately. And like, it was such a huge difference. It would turn out quicker, you mean? Yeah, like, we would wait to see another means yeah, like we would wait to see another

Wayne's world or we would wait to see it because we had to and then like Like those kind of characters which is something that like I feel like I got the show for was these weird characters You like the juice. Yeah, like all of a sudden that was slowly starting to go away And I was like oh well, I guess I got a I guess that's Many catch phrases slowly starting to go away and i was like oh well i guess i got a i guess that's really many catchphrases i miss the pa politicians come back as they're just the only really famous people around and he was made that everybody knows still do it much quicker they would do them like clump them closer together

because they would all be on the internet ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha We're gonna do a lot of things. I'm gonna do a lot of things. I'm gonna do a lot of things. I'm gonna do a lot of things. I'm gonna do a lot of things. I'm gonna do a lot of things. I'm gonna do a lot of things. I'm gonna do a lot of things. I'm gonna do a lot of things. I'm gonna do a lot of things. I'm gonna do a lot of things.

I'm gonna do a lot of things. I'm gonna do a lot of things. So this is a sketch that I thought was so funny, supernaturally funny, that you did with the rock. I saw this. World wrestling promo street.

You're the straight man in a sense, but you play it so real off of the rock. You knew that was crushing. I mean, it was just that that was one of those gifts where like the rock, it was the rocks idea. Oh, wow. He was like, he was like, he was like, and when we did these promos, I would always do this bit where I would get really, really personal and like, and it gave us his idea. And then they pitched it to Rob Klein and Rob Klein wrote it and it's just one of those gifts of just like, yeah, all I got to do is stand here and get offended and have, like, it was, oh, that's one of my favorite. That was one of those, like, yeah, like from table to

from table to air. It wasn't very far. Yeah, farmed a table to farm. It was very easy in the sense of like, there wasn't a lot of panic all week of like, are we getting this right? Like it was just like, no, we just, I get offended by the terrible things he said. And some sketches like that don't really even change. It didn't a lot. It didn't and like, there's little things about it.

Like, Terran, even Terran Kimmelman, that's right. It was good. Like, yeah. Just keeps looking at his phone the whole time and then whenever he has to be the announcer, he just got like, there's just little things about it that was made me.

Well, for the people at home, no one's at home. For the people driving, it's really like the rock is giving a, is tells them, you know, before they do an interview. Well, they're beating up on each other verbally and Bobby does a normal thing. I'll kill you in the ring and all that. But he says, you know, say whatever you want.

Say whatever you want. Yeah. And then he says, say whatever you want. Really get after me. And then what does the rock say, Bobby? Then I have herpes and that he's been catfishing me with a picture of my own daughter. Yeah. It's just terrible.

Yeah. Just horrible, awful things. But it's, he was so good in it because it's in his world. Like he knows it so well. It was funny when you go, that was a little rough. Just say something about in the ring during the fight. He goes, oh, God, I got it. And he goes, this guy's going to get the ring.

And I'm scared he's going to give me his herpes in the ring. And I'm going to hurt you psychologically. It's funny because you stay in character until they break. They always go, oh, cut. And then he goes, how was that? And you go, well, I didn't like it. It was horrible. It really hurt my feelings.

Yeah, but you don't do it during when you're filming. But you played it so well. Yeah, that's not easy to be the so-called straight man and get gigantic laughs from the straight man. What about that catchphrase film you guys did? Maybe last so hard. You played Slap, pappy? Yeah, that was that was just this the dumbest thing in the world.

I have a huge fan of Sinbad and I think he's fantastic and then I found this guy Shucky Ducky. Have you ever heard of Shucky Ducky? Sure. Also, yes. Sounds funny. All right. He was a stand up comic and he would tell jokes like, I'm supposed to pay my wife, Alamoni,

but I don't. She says, you're a deadbeat. And I said, no, I'm just patient. Shucky Duckie, quite, quite. And then he would just say, Shucky Duckie Duckie, that's great. At the end of every joke. And it really made me laugh. It's just so funny.

It's just so funny. It's so funny. I got one, a red the show. Oh, it's so funny. I got one redneck comedian. Oh, yeah. You ever fart so loud dog, two-stay-to-way, go, what that? Come and get some. That was a little carrot-feather.

It doesn't even correlate really when you go, come and get some. It doesn't really, but come and get some. Come and get some. Here's one. Here's one. David has a catchphrase. Oh, yeah.

How do I do it? Let me see. Uh, I call my how do I do it? Let me see. I call my wife the other day and her boyfriend answered, rack them. Yeah, that's it, rack them. When they're all those, I think almost joke first. No, rack them's funny.

I mean, we almost called the podcast, rack them. Okay, I got one. All right. It's a child muster joke, but we'll change it. So this child muster goes in the woods with this Five-year-old kid and the kid goes, Mr I'm scared he goes you're scared after this. I got to walk out here by myself. Rack him Rack him That's right. That's like a joke, but it's a good one. We'll strengthen. I asked my mom at a worst my tiny white is she said

Okay, I said how to go she said great. I haven't seen skidmots like this since the day tone of 500 come on Geetzong Since I dated big daddy Don Garland's come on get some I'm Ed my sister only cuz mama turned me down come on get some Making up These all would have worked. That's pretty much what it was. We're just doing this in a writer's room for hours And then just coming up with different

comics and what their catchphrases. And the escalation at the end with the bull horn or what was it? The prop with California. California. Yeah. I believe he was like Pete Airhorn Schultz and he just didn't just came out. It is. All right.

So that was that was the perfect button for that. So what are you doing these days before we wrap up? I have a question before we wrap up too, but how's your head space? It seems like you're just working like crazy. I mean, you're just we did secret life of pets together. One and two. Yes, we were we were there for a moment for three soon.

Yeah, it was just on Mr. Mayor, which David you were fantastic. Mr. Mayor. I was on Mr. Mayor. Yeah. I think so. Yeah. You definitely worth. That's teed is right. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Do we good? I wrote a children's book. It's called Not All Sheeper Boring. Not All Sheeper Boring. That's right. What kind of sheep do you go to sleep if you count sheep to foe sleep because some of them are extremely boring. That's why. I like that. Yeah, doing that.

Doing a lot of writing. Derek, Derek comedy sketches. That was the part of your resume I saw. Yeah, one of the first things I did, Donald Glover, all those guys. Yeah, super talent. Here's my last question for Bobby Dana. Okay, ladies and gentlemen, I'm holding in my car. It's really a final question.

It's so wispy. This is just one I wrote down. Does your years, do they send a car to take you to work every day or even take you to the show? When I first got there, no. And then... Not even show day?

No, but then on show day, we got cars. That was always the case. And we had limos at first, and then that stopped. Oh, really? After party. Well, no, then we just got regular cars, like the actual limousines themselves. Oh, like skinny long limousines.

Like, ridiculously, like 1980s cocaine limousine we are those and like yeah And we like that ended like after the first year to there but never never cars to like Sometimes for rehearsal towards the end because like we would they would call you up and be like It's two o'clock in the morning. You're coming to Brooklyn to do a pre-tap. Like it was because it was mostly pre-taped by the time I left. Like we would be out of the studio for Thursday, Friday, and Saturday just doing. Wow, that's weird. Yeah, we did.

Did you ever have a show where everything came together? Like it was your best show ever and you walked into the party just with a little different physicality. Yeah, that's right. I'm here. One hand in the house. Did you have a show where you kind of went, wow, that was my best show.

You hit on like four different things. Probably early on and it wasn't, you know what I mean? Like I thought it was and it was just like, I didn't go home crying that night. But like, I'll be honest, like maybe this last one, that this last one was the first time I left that building going like, that was a blast. And then that was it.

You go bring me to the host table. And then the cry yourself to sleep 45 minutes later. No one likes me. Well, it was nice to go like, nope, I'm just going to the hotel. I'm going to sleep. I got to be at my daughter's soccer game in six hours. It was nice to move on and just go like that was that was a fun to see those people and move on.

Wow. So you're just in that that whole world being a dad. That's a whole nother podcast, but she's doing soccer already. How old is she to? Yeah, five kindergarten kindergarten. kindergarten. Yeah. Here's my last thing is, it's a character based my friend. Whenever you say anything to him, you go, oh, you see, you got that soccer game, then

you're going to go lunch. She goes, yeah, just being a dad and he keeps saying it, you go, oh, so you got that soccer game, then you're gonna go lunch, you go, yeah, just being a dad, and he keeps saying it, and I go, shut up. He says it like it's, like, I get this proud of it, but it can't cover everything. Like it always comes back to that, like he's such a hero. It's a good blanket excuse to be a character.

Yeah, that's another character, proud daddy. Like he works dad into everything, you know? How's, hey, when you go into work, well, as a dad, I'll probably get there around 10, wanna have lunch, well, dads can't have lunch, they gotta call their family. Yeah, there you go, David, you got two characters

from this podcast. Yeah, that real pretentious wind up too, that well, you know, just being a dad. Yeah, that explains it all, it's a blanket state. And then they're kind of jealous of single people just wandering around the world must be nice Must be nice. Oh my god. That must be nice Take a nap. Yeah

What's it like to do what you want to do when you want to do it must be nice? There must be nice guy. What's it like to eat alone? Hey, do people treat you with respect? Oh, you don't have any poop on your clothes. Must be nice. Must be nice. The must be nice guy. Thanks. Bobby, it's been a pleasure. So much fun watching you all these years and on SNL recently. And so we hope to see around campus. Yeah. Thank you. So it's a pleasure to do this. It's like listening to for SNL cast members. It's like an hour long free therapy every week.
