of joke my 13 year old yesterday scared the shit out of me she sent me a I was in bed reading and she sent me a text
and I looked at it, and it was a pitcher from underneath my bed.
And I go, and I hear under my bed.
I was like, fuck, my bed.
And she was underneath my bed.
I was like, what the fuck is wrong with you?
And she just was dying laughing.
She was like, oh, my God.
All right, good night.
Good night.
Just, like, just scared me.
It was so creepy.
I was like, why did you do that?
She was like, I don't know.
Just hit under my bed.
Because she's your child.
Yeah, my child.
Yeah, exactly.
Okay, so we're going to talk about Whig.
And, you know, I'm so, like, I'm getting ready for this interview today with her.
And it's like, I don't even know where to start with Kristen.
She's so good, so talented.
She's done so many things during S&L, after S&L.
Like, she's had this incredible career on her own terms always.
I mean, you two have done so much incredible work together on the show and in skeleton twins,
which is just beautiful work from the both of you.
you. And I guess, how would you describe Kristen as a, you know, as a friend and a performer?
You know, Andy and I had started the show. Jason was already kind of, but we were all kind of in the same.
We were freshmen's all at the same time. And then Kristen came in like three shows later.
So I remember going into our office and we were writing a Vincent Price sketch. And I was kind of like,
I've been here for three weeks. So, hey, newbie. I know where the bathrooms are.
I know where the bathrooms are.
I know you have to change elevators at this floor.
And I said, hey, do you, we're writing this, you know, Vincent Price thing.
You know, if you have any old character or something, you know.
I was like, Amy's playing a cigarette girl.
Do you remember that?
Where you, Chesterfield's cigarettes and you tap dance.
And Fred's doing something.
And she went, oh, I'm a good, maybe do you.
Judy Garland, and I'm like, oh, what would that sound like?
And she went, maybe like, oh, you ever get the feeling that your hands are made out
of sand?
And I went, okay.
You're really good.
Then I was like, never mind, okay, I didn't realize who I was talking to.
That's a really good line, and the impression was, like, spot on.
Yeah.
She's just so good at, like, at knowing what would work on the show, too.
Like just that's a perfect yes
I always say like I don't know if you
I felt like here's what the show likes
Here's what I like
And I was trying to find this Venn diagram
And like her it was like the same diagram
It's like what she actually found funny
The show
It just it worked on the show
And I watched her for seven years
And every table read I feel like she did something different
Yeah she's such a crazy range
Yeah the range
That's the word I'm looking for is I was like
How did she do that
I know
She played this Italian guy once
I never got on a show
But she played this Italian man once
And he would just go
Oh yeah
And so I'd be like
I do it and he's like
Oh yeah
Oh baby yeah
And I was like
Where did you fucking get this
You know
And you're just like
Where did that come from
And she's like
I don't know
You know
But she just kind of
It just felt very effortless
To her in a way
that I always really admired.
And I really admired, and again, you know, you, Maya, you guys were this way.
It was like before the shows, it was like focused but cool as cucumbers, go out, do the show, come back, and just had this confidence.
And she had that as well, you know.
Yeah, she really did.
She, like, it felt like she entered the show, a fully formed cast member ready to go.
Completely.
Yeah.
And she also, like, it's like made it look fun.
Yeah.
It wasn't, there wasn't like a science to it.
There was not, I don't know if this makes sense.
There was no like equational thing.
She was just being goofy.
Yes.
And it didn't seem disposable at the same time, though.
And that's really hard.
It was like, wow, that's the thing I'm going to remember.
And that was fun, but she's still just loose and having fun with it.
Yes, totally hear you.
Does that make sense?
It's 100% the best way to sum her up.
Like, I feel like when I was watching her,
do her sketches, I could sense her laughing about them the night before.
I remember she did a Penelopee sketch and Liza Minnelli was in it at the end.
The Liza Minnelli?
The Liza Minnelli and yes, the Liza.
And she, and the thing was Penelope was always making things up and it was like,
oh, I can't do that because I'm going out with Liza Minnelli and a tomato tonight, right?
Right.
And Liza Minnelli showed up at the end.
And when Liza Minnelli came out on stage and goes, hey, Penelope, I just saw Kristen, just tried so hard not to laugh.
It was like just hearing her and go, hey, hey.
And she had a tomato with her.
She was like, hey, Penelope, me and tomato excited to go out of the town of Kristen.
Like, biting her lips, like found it so funny.
Yes.
Another one I'll say real quick.
But the other one I remember was I was a game show host and a thing when Maya hosted.
And it came, it was a game show.
She had written it with James.
And she was, before the sketch even started on air, Kristen was looking at me and laughing really hard.
I didn't know why.
She was just laughing and shaking her head.
Like, your first line is so stupid.
And it was kind of like, I think I, yeah.
And then they had changed it between dress and air.
And my first line was to Vanessa Baer, who was a contestant, I go,
before we went to the break, you said, you said the answer to the question was beef.
I'm sorry, the correct answer was nine.
And as I was saying, Kristen was like, shaking her head and laughing, like, I'm sorry, dude,
we couldn't think of anything.
Like, that's what I think of her.
It's just like, she's just having fun, you know?
Yes. Yes. So well said. So well said. Okay. So do you have a question? Do you think I should ask her? Anything about anything. It doesn't have to be about S&L or comedy, but anything that I could ask her on your behalf or?
I'm just always curious if she was always that confident in that ability. Was that a thing when she started groundlings, did she come in going like, did she have? Because as you said very well, she came in fully formed. And I was like, was it always that way?
because she had such a confidence in her ideas.
Yes, yes.
That kind of, I remember asking her, I was like, how do you write this?
Like, how did you do that?
And she goes, I don't know, I just think it and I do it.
You know, so she just always got such a massive confidence in her ideas.
That's a good, really good way to put it.
That's a really good way to put it.
Forte was kind of that way too.
Totally.
Would do a thing and you would go, what?
How did that come from?
And you know that look in their eyes where they're like, it never had occurred to them that that might be a crazy idea.
I'm like, my character has, remember I was in a sketch of hers and I feel like a character either.
I did her in a character had pepperoni nipples, like nipples of pepperoni.
I was like, where did you come up with that?
And it was like, looking at you like, well, we're on a sketch show, too.
You know?
I would take it to literally.
I don't know.
But yeah, that would be a question.
And I was like, yeah, where did that, was there ever a moment early days where it, was that learned and honed or did that, did she just come out?
That's a great question.
Thanks, Bill.
I know Chris is going to be so psyched.
We talked today.
Thank you so much for doing it.
All right.
Thank you, guys.
Talk to you soon.
Bye.

Hi, bud.
Thank you for doing this.
You know, I know you don't do a lot of interviews.
I feel honored.
You know, you do what you need to do for work.
Exactly.
But you and you follow through with your obligations with that.
Oh, yes.
Yes.
I do my job.
Yes.
Yes.
But you don't love to, you know,
you want to kind of keep your life private.
Yeah.
And like if I'm promoting something,
I'm happy to talk about that.
Sure.
But you know,
there's such a,
the line is so blurred.
Now I'm happy to discuss anything with you
because you're my friend.
But you know,
I know.
It's,
when it's someone that you don't know
when they're asking you
certain personal things,
you're a little bit like,
I don't know.
I know.
And also I learned something from you
many years ago
that I think about all the time,
which is also, I mean, what I love about how you interact with your work is, like, you put it out there, but you don't necessarily, you kind of just like put it out there and it's out there.
And then I run away.
I didn't, was it okay to say it is?
I don't want to know.
I know. I know, and it's such a great, it's very healthy.
Because it doesn't matter.
I know. I know. It doesn't.
And actually, I remember Sandberg telling me a long time ago, like, during.
During SNL, you can read a million reviews, and you can quote the bad ones, like, word for word.
Like, I can remember things people said about me.
Oh, yeah.
So I, like, I just haven't having this movie come out, this kid's movie, and I texted my publicist, and I was like, don't send me anything.
Yeah, don't say anything.
I will probably call her at some point and say, did they hate it?
Right.
Do they like it?
But I don't want to be sent because it just gets in your brain, and it's not what you're
experiences. I'm like, I don't know. And I'm easily, I'm sensitive too. That's part of it. Same. And I,
you said something to me that I think about all the time, which is I had like an evening where I was
or whatever, wore an outfit, felt good in it, had a good time. And then went home and saw the
picture of it and just was like, war, like just felt really sad. And you were like, oh,
I don't like, I don't do that. I don't look at pictures after an event or something. Like,
I trust that where, you know, like I just kind of like remember the feeling of it.
And I'm working with great people.
And when I head out the door, I feel good.
And I, like, leave it at that.
And I think about it all the time because bigger than, like, how we look.
It's just like the idea of, like, the world weighing in on your mental on your own mental health.
And believe me, I got there because I would go and look.
And then I would just feel horrible.
I'm like, but wait, why do I feel bad?
I know.
I thought I liked it.
And then in my mind, I'm like, well, now, did I?
I just, yeah.
I know.
So I think about you all the time when I do try, when I try not to look at pictures.
and myself. But we are going to
change our faces into cats for this.
Oh, great. And I want
filters. Yeah, we're going to put, I'm going to
have flames coming out. We're going to
be, it's going to be babies. This is a good hang
babies and we're going to have.
I want to look
30 years younger. But naturally.
You look incredible. Just make it. You look incredible.
And I do feel like you are
like, I don't, I wouldn't consider you
an introvert, but I do think you're probably
more introverted than people would assume, right?
I would agree with that. Do you
People are often disappointed.
No, but it's true.
I think also because our people know us, our origins into the public life is comedy.
So people think if you're at a dinner table and someone says, Kristen, tell that story.
And 14 people look at you.
That's my nightmare.
I'm so bad at it.
I'm really bad.
And I was talking to my husband about it.
I was like, I'm really bad at like telling stories.
and he's like, yeah.
He's like, I've noticed.
You are.
And I was a little shocked, but then it made me realize that, like, it's true.
I don't like that.
I don't.
I'm not good at it.
Halfway through, I realize everyone's looking at me.
And then I'm like, how did this, how does this end?
I'm like, I'm not.
And some people are so good at it.
Oh, yeah.
And some people, when they go in to tell a story, they like, settle in, like, here we go.
Like a warm sweater.
And I'm all in.
And I'm like, don't stop because I don't want people.
to ask me to tell a story?
I know, because it's, it is, it is like, I mean,
there's so much to talk to you about today.
And like, like, I don't even know where to start
because there's so much good stuff to talk about.
I want to talk about groundlings.
I want to talk about the beginnings of things
because I feel like, I don't think a lot of people know
your beginnings of things.
Like, what were you like as a kid?
Were you, you, you said that you didn't know,
you said you had no, like, big plans to be an actor
or a performer at all.
No.
No.
I mean, I would like watch movies and be like, oh, yeah, I want to do that.
But I think that's like everybody wanted to.
Were you ever like in a school play or, you know.
No.
I mean, I.
An attention seeker in any way back then?
I think maybe a little bit just from like my parents getting divorced and being like,
I'm going to cause trouble.
Oh, you became a little bit of a troublemaker.
I did.
Exciting.
I did.
And I don't know if that turned into, like.
But you caused a little problem.
I didn't.
I'm not bragging about it.
I feel terrible, especially now that I'm a parent.
But what kind of, can you share any of them?
I mean, I got detention a lot.
I was suspended a handful of times.
Exciting.
I've had police come to my house.
For like a prank, prank phone calling stuff.
Okay.
But still, they came.
Yeah.
And that was scary.
But I was, I think because.
And I'm bringing it back to like parents divorce, which don't turn this off.
It's going to be funny.
It really affected my life.
Yeah.
And I think I went into like my friend group, which I think happens a lot where if things are like uncertain at home, like your friends become your family.
And I was just always with my friends and always sleeping over to other people's houses.
And some of the people's hanging out with were like.
troublemakers I guess and I just kind of like got in with a little bit of the wrong crowd I think
young and then I moved when my mom moved to Rochester and I moved with her and at the time
I was like I don't want to move these are my friends but thank God that like saved my life
yeah it really saved my life it is true like especially now that you have kids you know and we
know that like it that whoever you're around the proximity of who you're around can
really dictate what kind of choices you make.
Yeah.
I know.
And it's hard as a parent to, like, I mean, my kids are five, so I'm not, I can't totally.
But even when my kids were five, you'd see other five-year-olds, you'd be like,
you got to stay away from them.
I know.
You're like, do you really want to have a play date with them?
Really?
No.
No, no.
I mean, they seem nice.
Yeah.
And then you just pick up, you just hold a phone upside down and you're like, I just called
their mom and they're not home.
They've moved.
They'll be at school Monday, but they've moved.
Okay.
But where do you grow up?
I was in
I was in Lancaster, Pennsylvania.
Right.
And then Rochester.
Like Amish town.
Yeah.
Which also probably added to a little bit of the mischief.
Yeah, because there wasn't a lot to do.
Yeah.
I was like playing it down at the creek.
And running through the cornfields.
I really was.
But yeah, I don't know.
I don't know if it's the place or just who I was hanging out with.
I don't know.
Yeah.
And then is it really true that a psychic told you that you were being out to say?
Let me just clarify this story.
Okay.
Is that a fake story?
Fake news.
It's not totally fake.
I'll give you like the short version.
But I was living in Arizona.
I was going to school there.
I was at the University of Arizona in Tucson.
And I did not really want to be there.
And I just felt like I was supposed to be somewhere else.
I was an art major and I just I wasn't like I wasn't connecting with something I did take an
acting class it was like acting 101 I think that's what was called and I was terrified to do it
because I hated speaking in front of the class like would skip school which is always the
worst thing because then you have to come back on a different day and do the book report
when everyone else is like we did this last week it's just even more awkward but I hated
speaking in front of the class. Like, I would just get anxiety. So I didn't want to take this
class. I took it. I loved it. And I was like, I don't want to be here. I'm not supposed to be
here. And I do have this theory that if you ask yourself questions in the mirror, you cannot lie to
yourself. And it's very, uh, yes. That's deep. Like looking in the mirror and just being like,
where, what do you want to do?
And it was like, I want to move to L.A. and try to be an actor.
And that I'd kind of never come out of my mouth before.
It just seemed like something so far.
I'm not, I just didn't seem like anything that would ever happen.
So, and at this time in Arizona, I was like, you know,
going to like spiritual bookstores as we do in our 20s.
Getting Crystal.
Oh, my God, pendulum.
Yes, of course.
Like, I was, like, really, in, like, a nice, like, healthy way.
Yeah.
And I wasn't, like, doing voodoo or anything.
And I went into this bookstore, and there was a sign that was, like, I swear it said, like, psychic mic.
It was, like, a dollar a minute.
And I was like, I'm going to go see that guy.
And I went in and I sat down and he was like, oh, give me your ring.
And he was, like, he's like, what are you doing here?
It's like, why are you here?
he's like you should have been in L.A. like a year ago.
No way. Just out of the blue?
I swear on my life.
Love it.
He could have said that to every person that walked in there.
He's like, what are you doing here?
That's what he says to every person.
And they're just like, because no one knows.
You don't go into a psychic because you know what you're doing here.
Right, exactly.
But I, I like went home and packed up my car.
Whoa.
Because my roommate at the time lived in L.A.
And I was like, can I come stay with you?
I didn't tell my parents
Packed up my car
Bad girl
Drugged my cat
Drove to L.A
and just
And quit
Quit school
Dain you are a rebel
Whig
You are a rebel wig
Yes you're a rebel
It was very
I think because I knew someone
Sure
It was less scary
But
Yeah to like
get an apartment and got a job.
I mean, back then it was, you only needed to know, like, one person to make a humongous
career and life change.
It was like, I'll just go.
Same thing with me.
I knew someone who had graduated from college, who was my old roommate who was living in Chicago.
So I was like, all right, I'll just move to Chicago.
Like, she's there.
Like, that's all you needed was one person.
And we didn't have, like, phones or anything like that.
We just drove.
We just drove with, like, a map.
And a cat and a map
And we were just like
And then we just looked at
And then the signs were just arrows
It just said Hollywood
Yeah
It just said success
Hollywood acting town
And you just
And you pulled up
So you go to Groundling
What year do you get in Groundlings
What year do you start groundings?
I waited a couple years
Because once I got to L.A., I was like
I've never acted before
Oh so you didn't start right away
I was like what
This town is full of
every person here is trying to do that and I
I got freaked out and I worked at like a hot dog
restaurant and then I worked at anthropology
and I was like doing all these like odd jobs and then
a friend of mine that I was working for when I was doing like
painting I had a million jobs
he was like have you ever been to the groundings
and I was like no what is it and he's like you should go
he's like I just think you like it
and yeah that first show I'd never seen improv I'd never seen like live sketch but it was like
Jen Coolidge um Michael Hitchcock uh and I was just like this is what I want to do wow yeah
this is it oh my god they're just making stuff up I was like I don't have to like read and say
a line a certain way that's like right or wrong I could just like do that and it was like nine it was
it was the 90s so you're doing sketch and improv and like everybody like hoping to get on
SNL.
Yeah.
Just like that was the goal.
Yeah.
It was like and you're watching people go and get on SNL.
Yeah.
And then Mad TV came out and that was the thing and a lot of people were auditioning for
that.
Right.
Right.
Because that was happening out here.
I remember there was that time when it was like you can't audition for Mad TV and
SNL.
Like it was very like one or the other like choose now.
And it was like, babe, no one's offering me either job.
You're like having a man.
imaginary conversations in your head about like, if Matt TV asks, I'm going to say, no, it's like,
they're not asking.
Hello?
Wait, did you do sketch in college?
Yeah, I did like improv and like an improv group in college.
And we did like sketches at the end of the show.
And it was, and you know, it was, I loved my improv group.
It was called my mother's fleabag, which is like, sure.
And, you know, I love an improv group name.
And my mother's fleabag had been around forever, you know, and it was like a little
frat for like a little nerdy frat or sorority. And we had all these rituals and customs. And at the
end of our show, we would go, it's, it's, it's my mother's fleabag. Like as if it was like
live from, you know, like we were doing some like version of S&L. And we would do sketches and
improv. Oh, that's so cute. But you didn't do any sketch or improv in, um, at University of Arizona.
No, no, no, no, no. Interesting. Amazing. So then you go, can you, I mean,
your audition for S&L
is it is weird to like have auditions out in the world
I don't know if did you watch any of the 50th stuff when they were showing?
I haven't watched that yet no and I've never seen my audition I never want to
ever see it because I did two okay you audition and then what happened
well okay you audition months and then you got it and you turn it down turn it down
because Matt TV was coming back no I
I auditioned, and then I didn't hear anything.
And then the season started.
And then you're like, I'm not on.
Okay.
I'm not there.
And then, oh, wait, no, how did it go?
Maybe, no, no, maybe that's wrong.
I auditioned.
No, that's not right.
I auditioned.
Didn't hear anything.
Then they asked me to audition again.
And I was like, I did everything.
Oh.
I was, oh, that's a nightmare.
Okay, I don't even know what was in that second audition.
And then, and then I didn't hear anything.
And then the season started.
And that's when I was like, I didn't get it.
No, but then they called me and they were like, can you, we'd love, be the spot for you, whatever.
I forget.
I was fine.
Can you come in like two weeks?
I'm finding that out that they hired you after the season had started?
Yeah, you guys had done three shows.
And then they were like, come watch.
I literally got there
on like Friday
I came and I watched
Lance Armstrong's show
and then
comedian comedy's Lance Armstrong
but I remember me like
what?
Because to watch a show
from the floor
no matter what is intense
but knowing that I was starting on Monday
and nobody
no one knew
because nobody told anyone that I was
a story and so good
Nessonel is like notoriously not good at onboarding.
No, no.
They're not good at onboarding.
And then I just showed up on Monday, but yeah.
But I do remember going to the party and going outside and calling my friend and like sobbing.
Because I was like, what?
I was so overwhelmed.
I didn't like know anybody.
And I'm like in, I was like in New York.
You know what I mean?
I didn't know the city.
And I was so scared.
Because I knew no matter what, I was going to be on and I just didn't know what, like, how do you get there from never even being on the floor to like eight days later or whatever, like being on the show.
I mean, the only thing I can compare it to, and I know it sounds kind of cheesy, but it feels like it is like an emergency room where someone's like, you're going to have to save people's lives, just watch what we're doing now.
Like that was how it felt.
You were like, and again, it's not saving people's lives, what we did.
but like it's like this really well-run emergency room where everyone knows what they're doing and they have a part and you're just like in everyone's way.
And they're like, do you need a scalpel?
No.
Totally.
And they're like, you have to know how to do this.
Like no one's going to teach you.
Yeah.
Or like, you know we have a meeting in 10 minutes.
It's like, no.
No one told me.
Did that happen when you were there?
Oh, my God.
I mean, I started at 9-11.
So they were-
That was your first show?
That's right.
When, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when Rudy Giuliani.
Yeah, you can go to this camera.
Just cut to commercial.
Yeah, when Rudy Giuliani said like, why be funny and Lauren,
Lauren said, can we be funny?
And Rudy Giuliani said, why start now?
And the first responders were on stage.
That was my first show.
And it was like, and everyone was like, I think comedy's over and, you know.
But here.
And I remember thinking, well, maybe he's like, hang in there for six bar months.
So I can just tell my.
parents that I did the show. Yeah, that was. And that was, and that was, and talk about no,
no, no, not, not, not, no one told you where the meeting was, but people were like fleeing the
building. Yeah. Because there was anthrax in it. So, um, there was anthrax sent to. Oh,
right, right, right. Right. And like, two or three weeks in, people were running out of the
building. And I was like, where's everyone going? And they're like, we're leaving because there's
anthrax in the building. I was like, so we should go. We should leave then. I don't want to get in
trouble um so yeah so you and i both had it's so there was no you know there was obviously shoemaker
being one of them like yes great producers who took us aside and said like make sure you do this
whatever but it what you were really thrown to the wolves which i guess is kind of like how the show is
and i think that's why it's great yeah i know but but wig from the minute you started and i did
watch your audition and it's so good and it's it's every single character oh i think every single
character in your audition ends up being a fully realized character on the show, which is amazing.
I don't, that can't be true. I think it's true. And you're so, like, you arrive at that show,
in my opinion, ready and confident to try what is the job, which is like to try your dumb ideas.
Do you think it was the, it was groundlings that got you ready for that? Like, do you think that's what?
I think groundlings helped me realize what I do and my voice, like, as a, like, I was, like,
as a writer and as a performer.
So I was kind of like, I'm going to do that.
And if that doesn't work, then I know I'm not going to, like, work here.
So I remember that first, like, Tuesday, no, Wednesday, read-through.
Yeah.
Oh, my God.
I was like, if they don't get it, like, this is where I know if, like, it doesn't translate
beyond that theater on Melrose and that, like, I'm in a different place.
Do you know what I mean?
Yes, but that's, that's, you know, okay.
So we do this thing on the show where we talk to, we talk well behind people's backs.
We talked to Bill Hader today.
And your brother.
And Hater and I were talking about you and how great you are.
And we were saying that there's this feeling that we always got from you, which is exactly that, which is like you were putting up stuff that made you laugh.
And you were like, well, this is what I enjoy.
It was, you know, there wasn't that feeling of like, let me try to get something that might get on.
or let me try to get something that might please the host or whatever.
It was always like your confidence in your idea.
And his question for you is the one that, like, I feel like I'm asking right now,
which is like, when, how did you get the confidence in your own ideas?
Where did it come from?
It's weird because I don't see it as confidence.
I think I just kind of, I don't know, I'm just talking.
I've never really answered this.
But I think I kind of wanted to know where I was in the world
as far as like my point of view.
And like the more I would put up that I thought was funny,
the more I could kind of like hone what kind of works and what doesn't.
Does that make sense?
Yeah.
But I do remember Forte telling me once in his office,
me saying something like, I don't know if.
Lorne would like this and he was like don't do that he's like never right for if you think
someone else is going to think this is funny he's like right if like you think it's funny and I like
I always carried that with me I mean you and Will Forte share that you guys both share that
feeling of like when it comes from either one of you there's no doubt that the two of you have
been laughing about it and like it like you find it the funny just die a slow death
I love those times, too.
Yes, same.
I remember you and I wrote something that to this day,
like James and I quote,
when we were like performers in like a cafe.
Oh, and it died a terrible day.
And I remember we were like describing the way someone looked as a pencil
because they had a yellow outfit on in like a pink hat or something.
We just said they looked like a pencil.
I don't know.
Well, it didn't work here either.
Maybe the way James, but there was something about it that when you're doing it and you know that little moment.
We're like, this is the little hook where the audience laughs.
And when they don't and you have like four more minutes.
Oh, I know.
It's exquisite, though.
It's like a sweat that if you get through the fever of it, then you feel like your immune system is like stronger.
Also, you were seeing your.
your heroes. I'm sorry for me, you included. Everyone's doing their best and everyone has
stuff. Sometimes it doesn't work. And you're like, oh, okay, this happens to everybody. Yeah.
But the cool thing about it is when you show up and there's like 50 sketches to read,
people think that they're going to work and you just never know. I know. It's so weird.
So much of your stuff worked. Like crushed. I mean, it's like, okay, well,
You've talked about this, and I've heard you talk about it, and really made me laugh.
For the first sketch you were in at SNL was when you, right?
Yeah.
We're pregnant in the butt.
My character was pregnant.
Your character.
But it's funny because back it up even to like my first pitch.
Because that was J.B. smooth.
Right.
The great writer.
The great.
Everything is the best pitcher.
Incredible.
And he pitched this thing where you were pregnant in the butt
And everyone was laughing
And I didn't know that like he just does like funny pitches
Right
And he wrote it
I think and he often he often J.B
I think you often pitch stuff that maybe you weren't going to write
Yes
You know what I always pitched stuff I wasn't going to write
That was kind of the thing
On Monday night you would be like
Um and you just kind of bullshit your way to get a laugh
And then you'd be like okay and now I really have to buckle down
But I think because the response was so funny
Jaby was like I should write this
That's the other thing
and you're like, oh, I wasn't really going to write that thing.
Yeah.
It was my very first sketch.
Jason Lee.
Jason Lee was those.
Food fighters.
Yes.
Foo fighters.
Fipiders.
I did say that.
A fool fight us?
I'm so happy.
That was my first sketch.
That was your first sketch.
And do you remember the first, like, I mean, the first character you have so many?
But do you remember the first one that was a recurring that you thought, was it target lady?
Like, where you felt like, oh, I'm going to get to do this.
again. Like, I have some kind of...
I don't know. I know. It might...
Was it A-Holes with Siddakis?
It might... It was either A-Holes or Target Lady, yeah.
I mean, for people who don't remember,
you know, Kristen has done so many characters.
I mean, we could talk about them all day.
But there was...
There was Target Lady who was, of course, very, very excited about things getting
improved. Yes.
And it had an incredible haircut.
Great wigs. Yeah, thank you.
Incredible wig.
And then another great wig and another character was A-Holes, which is Sadeca.
Jason Sadekis, and you guys were kind of like,
just like the worst people to show up anywhere.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
And you did a great move where you would play with your hair and chew gum.
Real simple.
So there you are.
You're at Estnell crushing it.
Bridesmaids comes out.
Bridesmaids comes out while you're on the show.
Yes.
I don't think people understand that.
I mean, I don't think I did either.
The timeline of that, you were still on the show
when the gigantic, incredible explosion that is bridesmaids happens, and you're still, and, you know,
a lot of people have to kind of launch and then figure out their way after they leave the show.
You're kind of having this moment while you're still having a full-time job on the show.
What was that like?
Was it hard to balance, like going back and forth or shooting or press or any of that stuff,
or do you remember it being kind of smooth?
I don't really think I knew how well it was doing until, like, later.
until I was off the show.
Yeah.
You had some more perspective on it?
I think so.
And you and Annie Mamelow, who wrote it together,
like, did you guys get to have a moment
where you said, looked at each other
and said like, holy shit.
Later.
Because I remember after opening weekend,
they were like, well, we tried.
And they were like, sorry.
Really?
Because, you know, opening weekend was always the thing.
It was a comedy and it didn't make a certain thing.
And we were like,
Oh, well, okay.
We just thought, like, that was it.
Wow.
And then I think just more and more people kept seeing it.
And then it was a grower.
It was a grower.
Yeah, it was a grower.
Wow.
That's so cool.
I mean, it's still, we're talking about stuff from 20 years ago,
but it still remains a lot of people's favorite comedy.
And it's still a speck for what it looks like to have, like,
a bunch of women in a film together, writing their own material.
Like, what a hard, well-done.
on mostly female
like it's still such a
superior piece of work.
Wigg?
Thank you, Amy.
You're welcome.
No question.
It got to commercial.
Got to commercial.
There's so many funny characters
that I want to talk about,
but I won't,
I won't embarrass you by going through them.
But I've said this you before.
favorite character is the surprise lady.
That's one of my favorite.
I love her.
I love her for a million reasons.
I love her because the way you play her is so funny.
I love her wig, fantastic wig.
Oh, always in a turtleneck.
Always.
Well, she had died in it.
She had died in it.
That's right.
That's right.
Did you write it?
I think that was in the script that we pulled it over.
Yes.
And when I say that was one of my favorites, that comes from doing it.
Yeah.
Like I like being, I like being in a sketch where there's a lot of people and there are moments where everyone is looking around.
Like, what is going on?
I love that moment.
Yes.
I love a cut to Keenan.
Just.
Like, we got to get out of here.
Like, this lady is nuts.
It's my favorite thing.
That actually would be a really good way to sum up a lot of your characters.
Oh, yeah.
Most of my sketches, if you go back and look, like, no, you've got to cut to people being weirded out by me to remind the audience that.
But why I love the surprise lady so much is because there's a lot of wig in it, I think, because she is nervous, but excited.
And she loves a party.
And she cannot wait to deliver that good news.
She can't wait.
and the physicality of her.
And the way, so funny.
God, I just watch clips of it all the time.
I love it.
Yes.
I love it so much.
It's so funny and stupid.
Funny and stupid.
Yes.
Which is the best.
Which we know is the highest praise in comedy.
Agree.
Like the more people go, oh.
Oh, that's so dumb.
That's so dumb.
And you're like, yay, I did it.
Okay.
Speaking of, like, hilarious, funny, and physical,
can you just talk for a minute
about what it's like to work with Carol, Burnett, on...
Oh, your season is coming out November.
Season 2 is coming out November.
Okay.
Number 12, yes.
Palm Royale.
So many things I could say about Carol.
When I met her, I just fully cried.
And I was not expecting it.
And I don't...
That is never, except for when my kids were born,
and I saw them and I cried.
I can't remember a time...
when I just, I didn't think I was going to cry and then they just, it just like burst out of my eyes.
I wasn't expecting it. I watched her as a kid. There's, uh, she's, as you know, she's just
the greatest person. She was very important to us. Yes. So important to us. And the fact that
she just did it as a woman. Yeah. During that time. And so many people said no. It makes perfect sense that
you guys were working together because you definitely have, I mean, you have that thing that
she has, which is you're able to enter a scene and just dominate in that way, in a hilarious,
joyful and confident way, but you also like tiny, small and grounded things too. I think
you have a lot of other interests. Yes, I actually think, like, for people who don't know,
you're, you're an artist, you love to, and you're a musician. What's your relationship? What's your
relationship to music and singing and making music? Well, music is definitely the thing that I
need to create anything else. Like if I'm going to draw, I have to have music on. Or if I'm
writing something, it's always to like music that I am picturing will be in this part of the
thing. I think it like opens up that part of my brain that allows me to go in and be like,
what do you really think?
Because if I just sit there, I think like, oh, what will they think?
Does that make sense?
Yeah.
For sure.
And then, I mean, I've always sang.
Like, I sang in like, you know, the choir when I was a kid.
Have you ever thought about wanting to sing?
Yes.
Sing, sing.
Yeah.
Like, I mean, you do sing sing, but like, sing.
But I would love to do like a help, like a, just do a record.
Do a record.
I would love to do that.
You should.
You should.
But I don't even know.
how to, like, get started?
Just this, just, you just...
Can you weigh in on the comments on this, guys?
How does Kristen get started?
How do you get into the music business?
It also feels like you could do, you could dip your toe into some version of it where it didn't have to feel so, like...
Yeah, like, like a thing.
Yeah, like you could join someone's band.
Who's band should you join?
Again, weigh in.
If you got a band.
Talika?
Just take him in a new direction.
Just quieter.
It's just a little bit quieter.
Just calling them up.
You're like, guys.
I know you have your thing.
And your thing works great.
You've been doing it in a long time.
And we think, what if you just.
And your fans would love to sit down.
And I've got the music for it.
Your fans would love to put their arms down.
Do you go to, still go to rock shows anymore?
Because when we were young and out and about, we did it up.
We did it up.
that's why those honestly
the best years of my life
like being in New York
and we and being young and
we did it up
and now I do not do it
no
don't do it
the thought of going to a concert
the thought of getting ready to go out
at 11 o'clock
which is what I used to do
oh my God never
can you imagine
I go out to dinner with my friends
at 6 o'clock
okay let's talk about sleep
6 p.m
because I want to be home
I love to eat dinner at 6 p.m.
am.
Me too.
What's your ideal bedtime?
Well, you mean sleep or get in the bed?
Great question.
Because those are different from hours.
I would say, what is your ideal time to be in bed?
What do you try to get in bed?
Like 8.30, 9 o'clock.
Love it.
A sleep by 10.
10.30?
Yeah.
Because I do like waking up early.
Yes.
When everyone else is asleep so I can have my little quiet time.
Yeah, because you have little ones and you have.
to kind of get ready for that, because morning is intense.
Morning's tough.
Yeah.
Now that I have teenagers, it's really funny.
Now, like, my mornings are, I have five hours before us people wake up.
I'm like, it's 10.30.
Yes.
You have to get up.
Yeah.
But don't they say it's like a brain thing?
Yeah, and you're supposed to let them sleep.
Like a teenager wrote that.
I was like, Mom, here, I heard it was a brain thing.
I read this article.
I'm supposed to sleep.
The scientist said.
Um, okay. We're going to get to Gabby's dollhouse, which just came out. Okay. So cute.
Is it fun to play a villain? You've played it? I know. That character looks so funny and fun.
Well, my kids love Gabby's dollhouse. Okay. And so I knew that this was going to be, this was going to go a long way for me at home.
Yeah. Um, and then the script happened to be really cute. And Ryan, Crago, the director's dream.
Awesome. Um, yeah, and it was just really fun. And we have.
the premiere on Saturday, and I got like a little emotional watching it because it's so
positive. It is so, it's got such a great message. And you know when you're in a theater
just with other people having the same experience and like you're just completely blocked out
from what's going on in the world? There was just something so like, oh, this is going to go out
in the world. And it's like really nice. Yeah. I feel like.
you, man. It's like the world is rough right now and it's like anything that's like some kind of like
funny or peaceful or like it's just like anything that just can like take you away. I can't do
anything dark right now. No, no, I can't. It's already, everything is already so dark. I mean,
that's why I ask my guests and I'll ask you this is like what what's making you laugh? Like I'm asking
people all the time like what do you watch on? We got to fly. We got to fly. We got to fly.
Oh, oh, we got a fly.
Let's get it.
I was told there'd be no flies in here.
I had a sweet before I got here.
I have a fake.
I have fake bread that has a quarter in it.
Let's see.
We can catch the fly with that.
Why is there a quarter?
I don't know.
I think, because you need to have something in there, right?
Yeah, it's a fake roll.
And then it's ceramic and, yeah, and there's change in it.
Do you have that thing sometimes where you feel bad for inanimate objects?
Yes, so do I.
Have you seen Julio Torres's stuff?
He does a bunch of stuff about with Annanna.
in objects. He's a stand-up. He's hilarious.
But I think that's like a thing. And it is a very, um, where I look at things and I feel like,
oh, he's lonely. Yes. Yeah. I do.
That happens to me. Yeah. How does it manifest for you? How do you see it?
I remember so specifically, I was in the bathroom and you know how you have like, um,
it's like a pill thing. And maybe it's like, I don't know if it was like allergy pills and you
pop them through. And there's like two, right? And I needed two. But there was one left.
over. And so I grabbed that one and then one from the other one. And my dad was like,
why didn't you just get two from this one? I was like, well, that one's been by itself for so
long. And I feel like he thought that was cute, but I wonder if he was like, oh, no.
But I remember thinking, well, clearly I wouldn't just, these two have been together the whole
time. This one's been by itself. Now I sound crazy. No, I completely relate. But I do, like,
when you're a kid stuffed animals, like, you have to like make sure that, like, they can breathe.
Why are you laughing?
Yes.
And I often rotate because I think, well, you've had a good view for a while.
And this one has been back.
I feel bad.
And I'm like, this one has been behind the other one or in a drawer.
And I'm like, that one has been in the dark for too long.
Yes.
I totally do that.
Okay.
Me too.
And same with just random objects.
And I wonder if there is some kind of like, what's the, we're anthropomorphizing things.
We're making them feel like they're human.
But there must be some kind of connection to like our...
Or maybe we don't want to be left alone.
Cut to commercial.
Cut to a slow commercial.
Is that lip gloss?
Cut to a sad lip gloss commercial.
Do you know how much money a makeup?
That would be so smart.
That would be smart.
Just having people put their makeup on, but everyone's sad.
And they're crying.
Because people will be like, did you see that commercial?
right that's a great idea happy like putting on their makeup what if people are just bombed out
you're so right if they're putting on lotion tears are coming down and they would be like
I remember that I'm buying that or they come they come home after a long night and they're like
they throw up and then they put their makeup back on yes and then they put it back on you're so
right yeah clinic um so what are you listening to watching do you watch comedy
I know. I know. It's hard, right? I can't do it.
I have a hard time watching. It's not hard, but as a kid, I think what made me fall in love with TV and film is that I would get completely lost in it.
Now I'm like, oh, they shot this at night.
Did they eat before? Like, is this the beginning of the night shoot? You know what I mean?
His hair is different. Oh, his hair is different. They shot this out of order.
I noticed that stuff. And it drives me insane.
you. And my kids sometimes, you know, I'll be like, this isn't in Canada. They'll be like, Mom. I'm like, it's not Canada.
I totally notice that too. The trees, and they're just like, Mom, stop.
I totally do that too. Okay. So I do watch reality.
Ooh. And I am not ashamed. You shouldn't be. Oh, I'm a Bravo gal for sure.
Okay. What, who are you? Have you done the, have you done, um, Andy Cohen and talked about, watch what? Have you done that and talked about the,
Who are your faves? Who do you love?
So many.
I mean, it depends. Like, different cities have different.
I'm about to, Salt Lake just started.
A new season?
Yes, a new season of Salt Lake, which is one of my favorite cities.
Do we have a, we have a, mm-hmm, back there?
Jenna just said, mm-hmm.
What makes Salt Lake so good for people like myself that don't know?
It's just bonkers.
Great.
um everything that makes the the the fashion the what the ladies there just i love it so much
i have noticed like at night it probably isn't the best thing to watch before i go to sleep
because it gives you nightmares just because of the yelling and the brightness yeah like all the things
you're not supposed to have before you go to sleep right um the yelling and the brightness but
But I love, I love watching non-acting.
Yes.
It helps my brain not.
It helps me turn it off a little bit.
Now, I get a little embarrassed for people and stressed for them.
Watching what?
Reality.
Oh, reality.
Yes.
Oh, I, yes.
But, but what is it about watching non-acting that, like, relaxes you?
Because I've heard that quite a bit from people who watch it.
It's like, it's weirdly relaxing, even though there's, like, conflict all at
stuff. Do you know why?
Well, I think with acting, you're watching someone who has looked at a scene, studied a scene,
they're doing the scene, they've edited it. It's the best version.
There's effort there. There's so many people working on it. And then with reality,
it's just like, this just happened. These two people were talking and this lady said that thing.
And oh, my God. And I just, I don't know. I like just being out in the world and seeing
these people
walk around and just
their parties and their outfits
there's so many parties. I love these
women so much. They are my family.
Can we watch a clip from Salt Lake
that you would, if you were
to, if I've never, I've never watched Salt Lake.
Oh, oh my God.
I know this is hard, but what would be one?
I guess maybe when, Jen is also waiting.
What about when the
van, when Jen Shaw gets, I would say
Jen Shaw, yes, Sprinter Van.
Sprinter van.
You can't just.
right sprinter van because you will get every
franchise
they're always in a sprinter van
I genuinely don't know what I'm going to see here
should I give you some context please please
so Jen Shaw is currently
right or she get out incarcerated
okay incarcerated with Elizabeth Holmes
they're in the same
and their buddies
one can hope one can hope
they were going on a trip
and the FBI
there's so much
exciting laughter
this is what I'm taking my time up to talk about
no I love it
the FBI was raiding her
I'm just looking at you Jenna
raiding her house
so she like didn't show up
and it's all the girls on the van
realizing what is happening
I'm not selling it as well
you have to
so here okay
when the FBI shows up
is this
Yeah, maybe that's it.
There's a couple here.
But the police are looking for...
Oh, but it's when she's on...
Oh, this is what it is.
She's on the van.
And she's like, oh, okay.
She finds out.
And she leaves saying that her husband's in the hospital?
Oh, is that the clip where she goes on a long rant about my husband's in the hospital?
No, that's not Jen show.
No, no.
Okay.
Okay, here we go.
Let's see what this is.
This is incredible.
What if she's on the run?
What if she's on the run?
Like get a red start.
Yeah, that's true.
They're all on the phone.
They're all on the phone.
They're all in the hospital.
Wait, you think, call Shereen.
You think she got a tip-off call because of happening left.
All right, yeah.
Okay, they're all on the phone in the sprinter van.
All with sunglasses on.
I'm just going to message.
No one's taking their sunglasses off.
Amy, this is, that was one minute.
Okay, of an entire episode, almost.
I can't recommend it enough.
I gotta tell you, when you explain it, it does sound fun.
I mean, there is something about Real Housewives,
which is like, if you didn't get on board,
it's like, I don't even know where to start.
I can tell you what season to start with any city,
because there are seasons to miss.
Okay, okay, that's good to know.
I wouldn't mind that because I have heard, I mean, Las Calatristers, Bowen,
they're obsessed.
And they talk a lot about Salt Lake.
Yes.
And I do feel like now might be the time to start if there's a new season starting.
If you have 3,000 hours to kill.
Now is the time.
Now's the time.
You know, the holidays are coming.
You're going to be all smuggled.
But I kind of get it.
It's like with the world being like so there's so much like that these stakes are relative.
I mean, well, she didn't go to jail.
She did.
She went to jail.
And not one person took their sunglasses off the whole time.
No, Amy, they can't.
Amazing.
Amazing.
Oh, my God.
I love you.
I love you, Whig.
I'm so grateful you came and did this.
I hope I had a good time.
You're kidding.
I had the best time.
Is it over?
Is there anything?
I asked you about Hater.
Is there anything else we need to ask?
And thank you to Bill for doing this.
I know.
That was really sweet, Bill.
I know.
Not that guy.
I know.
And you guys are so good in Skeleton Twins.
the way. What a great. I mean, so many, you've done so many great things. But the way in which you
naturally, like, it's just very brother-sister stuff there. Totally. It's so natural there. Do you believe
in past lives before we go? Yes. You do. Oh, my God. Yes. And do you feel like there are people
in your life that you've known before. Oh, yeah. Hopefully. I think especially people in your inner
circle have been there before. Yes. For sure. Yes. I do.
Like you meet someone and there is something about you and Bill in that film that feels very familial.
Oh, I love that.
Maybe.
Yeah, I wonder.
I wonder.
I believe in all that stuff.
You do?
What's the most woo-hoo thing you believe in?
Do you believe in, um, um...
Yes.
I mean, I probably do.
Do you believe in ghosts?
Yes.
Have you seen a ghost?
No, I haven't seen one, but I've felt them.
There have been times when I've gone into, I can, when I go into a place, sometimes I can,
you can feel the energy, especially if like maybe someone died there.
Do you believe in astral projection, like people visiting each other in dreams?
Yes.
You do?
Yes.
My great aunt visited me in a dream after she died.
Whoa.
Yes, totally.
What was that like?
What was the?
I woke up and I sobbed and I was like 14, but I knew she was there.
Wow.
Yeah.
Wow.
I believe in all that stuff.
I know.
What do we know?
What do we know?
I'm trying to be less...
So much if it is, like, science-based.
Yeah.
I'm trying to be more open.
And it's actually a goal of mine is, like,
to try to be, like, less of a detective when it comes to that stuff
and just kind of, like, open it up into my life.
I don't want any ghosts.
I don't want to have anything to do with...
I love ghosts.
I respect them.
I just don't want to see them.
No.
I have had my house ghost busted, though.
yes a professional ghostbuster online yes okay
no my friend had her house
ghost busted and she was telling the story she's like I don't know I call her she lives
in New Mexico I was like that's crazy what's her number because she told me things
that had happened after post bust and I was like oh this is
is interesting. And we've learned from Psychic Mike that you will pack up, if somebody tells you to
back up. You will get out of there. And I did it. And I swear to God, my house felt different.
She did it online. I love her, though. That's great. I love you, Wayne. Thanks for doing this.
So much. Men so much. You did it. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you so much. Kristen, you are awesome.
You're just, it was so fun to have you here.
And like, I really do count myself lucky that I got to be on the same timeline as you, let
alone the same show as you.
And for this polar plunge, you know, we, I didn't even know where to start to talk about
the hilarious comedy that Kristen has, has given us over the years.
So I just, I want to take this time to just remind everybody of all of the ridiculous,
hilarious characters that Kristen has given to us over the years.
Dunez from the Lawrence Welk Show.
Gilly and Penelope and
who else?
God, so many. We target lady
and we talked about the lady
who couldn't wait to, you know,
ruin a surprise.
And Judy Grimes!
And, oh my God.
And Shanna, Shana,
the like sexy lady at the office.
And
the Hollywood dish lady
who spits her water out.
And Mindy Grayson, the woman who can't get password.
I mean, I can't stop and won't stop.
But anyway, just do yourself a favor and look those all up.
I mean, honestly, if you're looking for something to make you laugh, any clip from Whig, any time is going to do that.
So thank you so much for comment and doing the show, Wig.
