I really did try not to talk about.

over. I get excited. I just get really excited, dude. 30 Rock's one of my favorite shows of all time. Amazing. I think I've probably watched it nine or ten times front to back. Yeah. And the thing I've learned about being a stand-up comedian in New York City and bumping into Tracy Morgan is that they nailed, however they, Tracy Jordan. There's no difference. Yeah. And then the new show coming out, I was like, it was the same crew. Drew was 30 Rock and you. And I was like, this has got to be awesome. Very lucky boy.

Yeah, it's nuts. It's absolutely. And Daniel Radcliffe. Yeah, and Daniel Radcliffe. Was there ever a moment where he was Tracy Morgying and you guys did like to look to each other? Like, oh. I have a file on my phone, a notes file on my phone with like 1,500 different things Tracy has just said. Yeah.

That's incredible. Yeah. Me and Daniel. Can you bust out some? Yeah. Me and Daniel, me and Daniel just like, he'll say something and I'll just see like a crowd of people and I'll just see Daniel going looking. He's just looking for me to see if I, if I am typing. Yeah.

Because we, yeah, we have a vast. Yeah. We have a vast, vast. He doesn't stop with sound bites. No, I think one thing that Tracy knows about himself is that he, if he says something insane, it will get a laugh. and that is like a superpower of his. Like one of, like he just, like, people want to see him say,

the very first thing when I saw him in person was he hosted SNL and Lauren's door opened. I'll know, because it was like a cartoon. Lawrence door opened and he was just standing in the middle of the room with his arms like this. And he went, The dark horse has returned. Like it's just that.

Like it's just like, no one in the world gets away with that. besides Tracy Morgan, like that kind of an entrance as a human. Yeah. And there's, I don't, I don't think there is a person on earth who makes a crazier first impression with anybody. Well, you just, you just go like, talking to Tracy, you immediately understand the sentence of like, Lauren saw something and that something works. And it absolutely works.

It's hilarious. One of the, just hilarious. One of the first times I ever saw him in person was right when I moved to New York, there used to be a laugh factory in Times Square, and I was doing check spots. So I was like doing the shittiest spot on the show, not doing well, wanted to go outside and smoke a cigarette on 8th Avenue

because I just bombed. And I swear to God, this is 100% true. I'm standing 8th Avenue, right by Port Authority. It's one of the busiest avenues in New York City. Smoking a cigarette and it's here, it's a yellow Lamborghini, and it pulls up and all I hear is, yeah, I'll take a picture with you.

and it's Tracy Morgan and 8th Avenue gets out of us. Andre the giant? No, just get out. But he gets out and takes, he still had his low jack on so he wasn't driving.

And he goes, I can't drive because of the low jack, but I'll take a picture with you. And he's standing there on 8th Avenue and people are coming up just taking photos. And then he just, and they went,

are you doing a show up here? He didn't even realize he pulled over in front of a comedy club. He looked up and he went, no. And then left. You'd be. surprised how many people have stories about him hanging out of a car and screaming something at

him. It's truly, like, everyone is like, I was in a car, I was on the street and he was hanging out of a car. And it's always the same thing. It's always, he was always, like, in a vehicle hanging out of it. But also, the best thing, like, the only way to explain knowing Tracy Morgan is this. Shooting in Westchester County, my hometown, literally, literally. Literally. Literally. my hometown. We're shooting in my hometown where I grew up. And a woman comes running over as we're shooting and goes, Tracy, Tracy. We're in the middle of a take.

We're outside. We're at like a deli in white plains. And I used to work at White Plains. I worked at the Pizzeria Uno on Central Avenue. Go check it out. Yeah, go pick up a pizza and say, you know Bobby. Fantastic. Really mess them up.

and a woman comes running over in the middle of a take and goes, Tracy, Tracy, and everyone's mad and goes, like, cut. And he goes, it's okay. This is Jerry Seinfeld's wife. It was not Jerry Seinfeld's wife. He just makes up credits for people. It was a woman from Westchester. No, that's dumb. That's Jerry Seinfeld's wife.

He gave her a hug. She was like, Tracy. He was like, it's so good to see you. She was like, it's, I don't know, like, she was trying to explain to him that it wasn't him. That wasn't her. It was, that it's just perfect. That might be the most brilliant move of all time, which is to out crazy someone who's crazy. So they come at you and you just go,

she tried to explain to him that she was not, in fact, Jerry Seinfeld's wife, she was just a fan, but even she bailed halfway through and was just like, everything's great. I'm just happy to meet you. He's leaving. Say hi to George Costanza. That's not a real person, Tracy. He came into.

Yes, it is. Another great one was just standing there and he goes, you know, I used to date Michelle Obama, back in high school. This is you guys, why you guys are just doing a tape? Or like, Tracy, do you know Morgan Freeman? He's like, yeah, I know Morgan Freeman. And then his assistant goes, he doesn't know. Do you, is that the most overworked assistant in Hollywood?

Is that guy going around going, he actually devigated Michelle Obama? I often ask him, I'm like, so what was your last night like? Yeah. Like just out of curiosity, but he's the best. Tracy's insane, but in the best way it's so funny. It's so funny. He's like a gigantic beating heart who's just throwing out fun. It's never been not.

It's the way to live. I've never witnessed his crazy and it hasn't been funny. I correct. And just I saw this sentence this morning. It was either Robert or Tina. Somebody asked Robert or Tina what, like what it was about Tracy. Yeah. And it was the best sentence.

I went like, that's it. It was, uh, he's just so. happy to be alive. And it's just, it's, it's true. Everybody needs that. It's completely true. He's just, like, every moment is, he, he just, everything goes through the filter of like,

but what if I was also playing a boom box right now? He came in to the comedy seller on a Sunday night, probably around, it's Sunday night, so it's dead. It's like 10 p.m. Yeah. And he just comes in the Olive Tree Cafe, takes his shirt off and goes,

I'm buying everybody drinks I just found out Roberto Clemente's my biological father And then he slapped his belly He just kept Of the 1500 things end with the things Is my biological father A lot of people A lot of people are his biological father

Barack Obama was his biological father Mathematically impossible Tracy I couldn't have been your father We're the same age He often says Flip Wilson is his biological father You do a fantastic Flip Wilson You know my flip.

You queued me up for a flip. I always do. I always do. Because when that happened, when I was a... But he also claims he goes, Flip Wilson died with no money. And I don't know if that's true. To Wilson families, like, he was a,

he was notoriously a good investor. He actually invested a... Charitable, man. Charitable. He's got libraries. Can you look up how much money... He died in a pile of cash. He was the...

He's also not dead. No, no, no. They based scrued. They based... McDuck on Flip Wilson swimming through his money. Yeah, he, the biological father thing is just like, uh, it's like a setup. He knows if he said, it's the, it's, he's great at being Tracy Morgan. Because the belly slap to me was what sold it for me.

Because he said it, but then he did, like no one was listening. Like he just said it for the room and then he just went like that on his belly. Cause that's, because like, you know, because like that's what made his mom laugh when he was a kid. Yeah, just a belly slap. And that's it. Like, like that's it. And he just knows it and he just still does it because he's the best. The, that's why I always, one of my favorite 30 Rock episodes is where they're doing the boys and girls club commercial.

And they have to do the skateboarding and everything. And then they're like, they're like filming it all day. Because Tracy's like, oh, I'm supposed to go now. And the guy's like, ah. It's just so perfect. I shouldn't admit this in a podcast. I'm like, I kill people. No, just kidding.

No, I go, you know what? We'll do some editing. We'll do some editing. I go out there. I'm like, Bobby said some stuff that I'm not really comfortable with. No, I ever since the show came, has come out online, like the last couple days, I have watched it a couple times. Yeah. But mostly because, like, Tracy's just line readings are so, like, insane and bizarre.

Like, it's like there's only one person that can read them that way. Or, like, he'll just add, he does this thing with Daniel. It's not in the script. I don't think it's in the script. I should Robert and Tina are brilliant. I don't think it's in the script. But he does this. thing with Daniel where like Daniel will say something

he'll just like he'll instead of saying like calm down he'll calm down dude and he'll just call him dude but like every dude gets like a little bit longer and more so he'll be like a dude and it's just it's killing me just even the way he speaks he just throws so much Tracy into it I mean to put together that team

for the for the rise and fall and what I love the fall and rise okay I have to remind myself fall and rise. It's the fall and rise of Reggie Dinkins. I have to keep reminding myself too. Because when I heard they were making it, I think every 30 Rock fan was like, what, what? And then adding you and Daniel Radcliffe and we're like, what? It was great. It's just like, it's nuts. I haven't watched the first episode because I want to watch the full season 30 Rock style. Interesting. Yeah. I'll take that. I'm a huge, I'm telling you. Like the way that I, because 30 Rock,

I think unfairly. Could you just play them and then leave the room right now? I'm going to do that six times. Yeah, okay. Oh, I'm going to stream it on my phone. You're going to, if you came in here, it'd be like a boiler room. There's no furniture. It's just a bunch of phones set up.

I have a, I have a Reggie Dickens farm in my going on. I have a bot farm. Imagine setting that up and being like, go. All right. Season two, here we come. We're getting green lit. We're going to green lit for six. You're not going to believe this.

We had 33 billion viewers. We're getting like a Lucas. film deal. They're buying a whole universe. There's a Reggie Dinkins universe. He's action figures coming out. We have a video game. Was that like a cool moment where you're like, I get to play like his, you're playing essentially his best friend from the NFL? Yes. We were team mates. I was the kicker. We've been best friends since childhood. Or no, no, since we were on the team together. And I live in his basement now. Yeah. Has he, and I run his social media. Did Tracy ever call?

Daniel Radcliffe Harry Potter? Yeah. I'm wondering, the reason I ask that question is, how do you curve that? How do you go, Tracy, in this world, he's not Harry Potter.

It's so weird, because like I come from a world where it's like, we talk about SNL a lot, no matter what. It always comes back to SNL. But with him, it comes back to Harry Potter. Like,

what I do is I like to count how much time I'm with Daniel before it comes up. Oh, yeah. Like, because like sometimes it, It's like 10 seconds. Sure. Sometimes it's a day, but it's like it always comes up.

Yeah, it's almost like a condition. You're like, oh, my Harry Potter's flaring up. Well, like, yeah, there's like three people in the world, I feel like that have to deal with he has to deal with. It's like him, Mark Hamill. Yes. Like there's a couple people that are real life wizard superheroes. Yeah, I would also probably. But like Mark Hamill's face is not, I went to the mall recently.

with my daughter and every single store we went into I saw his face on something. Yeah. Daniel Radcliffe. Yes. Yeah, because. Mark Hamel. No, I'm just kidding.

You go, Hamel is everywhere. Well, I mean, like, it's Hamel fever. It's kind of is, but like Harry Potter more so.

Like we, well, Harry Potter is our, it is a younger generation Star Wars. Correct. Basically, Harry Potter, the entire franchise took the page from Star Wars and was like,

oh, we'll just do this with Wizards. I never noticed that before. And they just go like, yeah, put the merch. But there were no Star, there's a Harry Potter store. There was never like a Star Wars. There's a Harry Potter land. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

There's like an amusement park. It's so much bigger. You immediately realize how amazing his parents are or must be because he is just such a, I go like, I go home like, man, he just deals with everything wonderfully, everything wonderfully. It really is amazing. It's almost like when you see these World War II veterans that you're like, and you're just a normal guy and they go, yep.

Yeah. Came back, fought the Nazis, and then I started a family and, you know, no PTSD. Yeah. Like none. You were in, that's my dog. I want to, I want to grab them by the shoulders sometimes and go also, like, relax and be a kid and have some fun. Like, just go do something silly, please. Let's go run around.

Stop producing amazing things for one second. Pull around the grass. Can you be kind of an asshole for a little bit? Can you, like, spill a bottle of shampoo? Could you do one thing off? Yeah. Could you, I mean, with you with the S&L stuff, when you left, was there a feeling of like, I don't want to talk about it all the time where people like bringing it up to you in a way that you're like uncomfortable? There's still, you always want to navigate this amazingly cool thing that you wanted to be in your whole life.

Then you got to go there. It's like going to space camp. And then when you get done, you're like, okay, do I never talk about it again and be cool? You don't want me to talk about space. Or do I talk about every second up? You know what I mean? Do you want to know what the food tastes like up there? It tastes so different.

It tastes so different. But I really, I mean, I think you did. I think you're a guy who, like, came on, was, I mean, I knew about you at UCB when I would go, like, see you do, like, a ass cat and stuff. And you were phenomenal. Katie was like one of the. She was so mad. The first interviews I ever did. She was very mad that she was not here.

She's at work right now. You were on garbage time. Yeah. And she was like, tell Bobby that he was the greatest interview I ever had. But that was also, like, I was. And I think about that, that was also like one of the first ones I ever did. Like it was like, I remember like she was brand new and I remember going like, me too.

Like, and she was great. Yeah. And she says that to this day. She was like one of my favorite interviews I've ever done. Yeah, it was a blast. And she brings that up. She was like garbage time was new. He didn't need to do it.

But I don't think she realizes you were new at SNL. So there was like this brand new. Yeah. I remember going home and being like, that ain't so bad when you got to do those things. Like, you know what's funny is she was, she said it like an old. friend. She had her keys in her hand today. She was living with her person. She goes, ask him if his head still gets hot from eating sour candy. She knows me well. I went, okay. It almost is. As her fiance, you go, what? She's saying that. And she's like

shuffling her keys in her hands. She goes, ask him if sour candy still makes his head hot. And you go, what is this? And she leaves to go to work. I'm going to work. I say things. I shouldn't say immediately. When I meet people. If I eat anything, like if I have Sour Patch Kids, love Sour Patch Kids. They're great. Blueberry Sour Patch Kids specifically. Very good.

But if I eat them, you sweat. The top of my head down, starts here, just starts to, like, I can feel it. Like, I get hot, I start get a little sweaty. Whenever I have sour candy. Do you have to eat it at home? My temperature rises from the top starting down. I don't, I can't explain it. I can make it happen if you give me.

sour candy. You can just go, here we go. Yes. And then, and you it's probably some kind of medical condition. There's a doctor right now that's like, this is on in their office. It's like, don't eat them. Well, it's probably like I'm allergic to some sort of red dye number blank or something. Oh, so it's the blueberry

ones that specifically. No, it's sour candy. Just in general. Anything sour. I love sour candy. But you do love it. What a curse. Yeah, it's like people who are lactose intolerant but still drink milk anyway because dessert's great. It's great.

My friend Daniel K. Isaac, who I did billions with. Not a real person. He's a real person. I'm just kidding. I'm just kidding. He's not. Daniel's, Daniel's watching this.

He goes, I am real. Don't you, Renee Descartes me? I am. Billions does well. I'm kidding. I'm just kidding.

He's a nice man. We would get, sometimes one of the bigger actors would get like, hey, I got a Van Lewin's truck to come by. And like, like a cyanide capsule, he would always have a lactate thing.

And he'd be like, I'm ready for it. and drop it and he'd be like bring on the dairy and you're like i get that loving something but it gives you yeah have you ever done sourpatch kids in popcorn at the movies i'm not an animal it's first i'm just kidding i have done no caps and popcorn that's fine it's your weekly reminder that if you have any sort of hypochondria take ease with zoc doc even if you have anything wrong maybe you're just a normal person who has something going wrong and you're like, who the hell's going to fix my ankle?

I saw Sour Patch Kid ice cream at Target once. First of all, at Target. Buying any food at Target. Yeah, I don't care that you're a grocery store now. That's where I had to buy my knockoff Jenko's in middle school. I saw Sour Patch Kid ice cream and I got it just to see what it was. It was lemon flavored ice cream with Sour Patch Kid. Like the only way I can explain it is like Sourpatch Kid gel.

Like a jelly swirl. Ew. That felt like. as if they had melted sour patch kids and then squeezed them out. Which does sound fun. It was delicious. Well, the gel was delicious, but the ice cream I didn't want to be a fan of. But I mean, the whole thing and the box and the fork.

No, I'm just kidding. Yep. I wouldn't be a scientist unless I asked you this. Did the ice cream make you? Did the ice cream more? Make me sweat as much? No. No, not as much.

Now come to think of it. No, but it might have been because the ice cream was cooling me down at the same time. I might have found the, I might have found my, my, this is it. This is your eureka moment. That's how I, that's how I got to intake sour stuff is through ice cream. You go cool it. Cool it at the greatest temperature we can. I just hope to enjoy my desserts in a, in a walk-in freezer.

Yeah. Where's Bobby you go? Well, the fallen rise. He's a pizza Rio Oudo he used to work at in the, in the closet. The fallen rise of Reggie Dick's was so successful. He bought his own walk-in cooler. strictly for sour stuff. He just eats it in there.

But like SNL stuff, I feel like that is... I also have to mention hoppers too. Oh, Hoppers looks great. Go check out the new movie Hoppers. If you put my mind inside of a beaver, I wouldn't build a damn. I wouldn't build a damn at all, but Bobby voices the character King George.

So go check out hoppers in theaters now. Thank you for saying that. And watch the Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins on Peacock or NBC. Is it on both? It's on both. It's on both. It's, you know how it is, everything. Watch it on a phone computer.

Phone computer. Watch it right there on a plane, no headphones. Make everybody listen to it. When you left SNL, because I think everybody who's ever been in comedy, whether you've done SNL or not, S&L gets brought up. Like when you started doing improv, did you have family that just went like,

did you ever think about doing S&L? I think I talked about it. so much they already knew i mean my my fan i used to make my mom make videos i i've like i'm in a suit coming out of my bathroom going bobby and like turning around and doing my snell opening like was that oh yeah i was a lot what was that moment because you still had don parno you did i mean darrell hammond i think sashir if i'm a big nerd i think sashir was the last one with that with don't got when he was getting shaky where he was going here please i can't keep Can't do this anymore.

Lauren, haven't I given you enough? I have told this story before in interviews, but it's one of my favorite things in the world. He just passed me one day, and he went, Bobby, morning. That's all you want. Like really quietly to himself, and he went,

that's a good one. Not like that nightmare Nassim Padraud. What? He just didn't like saying Nassim's name. He goes, sorry. Don is in, he's sundowning right now. He goes, He was mad one day.

FDR ruined the economy. A lot of hot takes. You go, you know what's funny? Those studio times are about 17 hours. Because he can't get to the names without opinions. You know who I don't like? The Polish. The Polish.

What a fucking weird thing to hate. There was another great one was we were rehearsing a sketch called Rough, Rugged, and Roker, which was the whole premise of the sketch was Keenan Thompson goes straight from like Al Roker goes straight from the club because he's so cool from partier to like doing the news in the world. That's great.

But like right before he's the coolest dude in the world because he's been up all night partying. And it was absolutely hilarious, but there were a lot of dancers. Never saw Don Bardo on the floor before of the studio. Like he was just in his booth. Sure. And he was just standing there.

And I was like, what are you doing? Don, and he was, the dancers. Like he was just there to see the dance. Oh, they're in so much glitter. But he speaks, like, he would speak that way. He's like, the dancers, like, you know, and it's like, he's like, he was just like, remember the, um. It was as if they were musical guests, he said it. Featuring.

Oh, sexy dancers. I'm here to look at women. I'm gonna Oogh. You remember the homeless guy with the, with the golden voice? Do you remember there was like a homeless guy on the thing? Oh, yeah. Cleveland. Yeah.

And it was a big, it was like one of the first viral things where he went like really viral and they got him a job. Kraft macaroni and cheese. Right. And then he'd be like, this is coming in. And they'd be like give him like, he'd be like,

can you get a dollar? And they'd be like, do it. And he'd be like coming up on the. And it was like. Do it. And then he got too much money and you go. Oh.

Yeah. He was. I believe home was again shortly after. Yes. He made a lot of money and then he made a lot of bad decisions. Yeah. But I do wonder if if Lauren just found Don Pardot like that. Like just walking around and he's like,

I don't think he was in the building when Lauren got, when they built it. And he just, I can't leave. He's like with him in Tuscany's music stand, which was in a case right next to it. He would be like, I was here when they built it.

Like, no joke. Seriously? Yeah. Not doing a bit. He was like, when they would do my show of shows. He's the Phantom of the Opera. Yeah.

He's just like out there playing the organ. He really was. It's crazy. It's like, yeah. Because he did it until he was in his 90th. like late 90s? You 6,712. Yeah.

I'm an Oracle. Yeah, no, he felt magical. He's Merlin. Yeah. We find out that's who Merlin's based off of. I did, uh, get locked. It almost missed a cue on live television while I was dressed as, uh, cogsworth from the clock from Beauty and the Beast because Domparto fell asleep in the booth and I couldn't get the door

open because I was like a clock. I was a clock and he was in the way and I didn't want to like wake him. up like it was a yeah it was it was an only an only SNL moment that's what a fantastic cool and he's like if i move my clock too fast i'm going to wake up don pardo and miss my live television line and then jane lynch is going to be upset that also sounds like a siphon line we've got everything from sleeping don pardo but you know who my new don't want to see Go yet is Johnny Gilbert from Jeopardy. Johnny Gilbert's the guy that goes, This is Jeopardy! And you see him and you go, Johnny, don't, don't move Johnny. Like he's,

he's like the couch in your grandma's living room with plastic on it. I just did Kelly and, and her husband. Yeah, Mark. Jesus Christmas. Kelly and Mark Rippon, Mark, Cosuelos. Yes. And Gelman was there and you're like, Gelman. What are you still doing here? What's the Christmas? Some dog. Yeah. I remember they're like, oh my gosh. We're going back Regis Kathy Lee's days. I was like, how you doing, Gilman?

Oh, gee. Yeah, you see him? I pretty much did that. He was like, all right. That's enough. I get it. Like, I'm, when Katie did Celebrity Jeopardy, I obviously, I'm a, we're huge jebheads. And I really wanted to meet Ken Jennings, the greatest player of all times.

And the only, who would you argue? Brother, I hate to tell you this. Go back and watch, I watch YouTube highlights of him just absolutely bodying nerds. Jenny stayed on that thing. He kept the blicky on him. But I was super excited to meet him. And then I was like a little kid at Disney World where they're like, I want to meet Mickey. And they're like, Mickey's not here today.

And I was like, is Johnny Gilbert here? And they were like, no. That's me all the time constantly. Also with this, I'm on the tour for Hoppers right now and I'm like, is Merrill Street going to be? No, she thought, okay. Did you do? A lot of that. When you, because I don't think people know this with voiceover work, sometimes you're in a booth with other people if it's a scene.

Yeah. But sometimes you just have to hear how they read it and then you, you play it back. And sometimes you don't. So with Hoppers. I mean, Hoppers was different. I mean, like, Hoppers has been years. This has been like a couple years of my life. So it's like.

I've had different versions. I didn't record with anyone. The girl who plays the main lead Piper Curta, who plays Mabel, the main beaver. The girl who goes into the beaver. Yeah. Didn't meet her till after we finished recording.

And we now have, like, spent more time with each other than other people I have worked with for many years because of just from promoting the movie. Sure. But, yeah, we never, but like I did Inside Out and Inside Out too. Yeah, both great. Me and Paula Poundstone are like, uh, forgetter Bobby and forget her Paula.

Yeah. And we record it together for all of those. Like we got to improvise. They flew us up to, uh, Emeryville, Pixar and like we, they record, you know, it was like this. Like, you know, they put us in a room with cameras. They recorded us. Like, you know, like we got to do some stuff together. But this one, we, we didn't.

But I would get to hear Piper throughout. When you go to a place like Pixar, are you kind of like lost in it of like, oh, wow. because you forget that Pixar's like, God. Well, yes. The toy story. I was in, I was on SNL. Yeah. And I just got,

got an email, I think that was like from Dan Scanlan. That was like, saw this sketch on SNL. It was the, the jammy shuffle. The Andy's, it was an SNL digital short.

Sure. Where we were all kids playing like on a kid show. And I was just like a little kid, but like it ended up with like all of us murdering each other. Yeah. comedy. And he was just like, saw you in this. We have this character in Monsters University.

And I thought you would be great for it. Like, do you want to do it? And I was like, what? Like, are you kidding me? Like a Pixar movie? Like, of course. And then they were like, great. We're going to fly out to Pixar.

And I was like, what? Like, and went there and like was definitely that boy. It was like they gave me a tour of Pixar. Like, and like that place is nuts. Like it's built for creativity. There's like a person walking. It's like a college campus. There's a guy walking around with a gelato cart.

just like around. Sick. And then they have rooms where you can get massages and like all this stuff and everyone gets to decorate their own space and they have like a plot of land

not an office that they can do whatever they want. So someone has, someone's desk is the cockpit of the Millennium Falcon and the person next to them is a Jurassic Park theme thing with working waterfalls

and like they have like, that's, someone has the Batman thing and they move it and there's a speakeasy behind their office. And like everything is, It's like that.

And then they go, you want to see something really cool? And they open up a vent, an actual vent in the wall. And you crawl in it. And it is the vent. They had, it's like just this gap in the wall that when Bill Gates and them were working there,

they would like go in there and hang out. And it's like just like a vent with like, it's like air conditioning ducks. And you hang out in there. And it's, but now it is sign. by everyone that has, they have shown it to. So it's like Barack Obama next to Anthony Daniels, C3PO.

And then like, they're like, you want to sign it? And I signed in between Barack Obama and Anthony Daniels. And I remember thinking like, that's a good spot. Like in the Pixar building. Barack Obama. But like, yeah, they just show you like all this crazy stuff and this Pixar history. It's a beautiful. I, and now like, this is my fourth Pixar movie.

And I go like, I can't. It's one of those things where, thank God, I don't work. in that field because if they were like you could have your own desk it's like well i just want to back float all day and they go i don't think we can do that but i need the temperature and i want it chlorine i want to float chlorine and like i wonder if they would like figure that out if you were good enough at your job i go like i wonder like if they like it seems like the place where they would be like because the first guy in tech that tried real fast you know he's pretty good seen he made eight leaves today He made a tree, sing, and dance.

We're letting him go. This guy, 46 hairs an hour. Watch him work. And also look at his desk. He recreated the Titanic. It's to scale. It's like, just a giant freighter.

Yeah, I always... Every day at two, his desk splits in half. I was like that when I went to... I did, like, with the WWE network, they had me up there, and I was, like, walking around. and then they did a thing where they're like, act cool and you're like, no, I don't want to act cool.

Don't take away from... I did a movie with John Sino. There's movie Sisters. Yeah. With John Sina. I wrestled John Sina in that movie and like the coolest. And he was like, you want to come to WrestleMania? I was like, want to say?

Do I want to go with one of the greatest wrestlers of all time? Yeah, I do. To your work? So me and Taryn Killum from S&L. One of my favorite cast members of all time. And I would argue one of the most criminally underrated SNL cast members of all time. Easily. He was one of those guys where you watch and you went, what the fuck?

He's like a Dan Aykroyder or a Phil Hartman. Yes. Phil Hartman is exactly the, you go. He did a Taco Bell commercial as Brad Pitt that people forget. That makes me let me, whoa. There you go like, listen to me kiss Rita. Come on, man. And like the way it does it.

Like Jay Farrow is a mimic. Jay Farrow is the best voice guy. Jay Farrow looks at you up and down and then goes like, all right, I'll do these four things. His Stephen A. Smith run on weekend update. was one of my favorites. Taryn is like the opposite. Taryn's like a painter. Like he goes,

these are the four things that person does, but I noticed that he also goes like, and like he'll do that and you just go like, yeah, yeah, you're right. Like he's, that thing that he'd do is Brad Pitt. It's the best.

I don't do impressions, but Taryn makes it easy for me to do impressions. Because he can find the end. It's the sound. That is. That's always what it is. He's great. He's great at that.

It's one. Jay Farrow, I would say Jay Farrow is the greatest impersonator. alive. Like alive. I would agree, man. That's also like high, I'm so glad that they are both getting high praise right now because they both deserve it a great deal.

Because people go like, oh, you do voices and I go, I do sentences. These guys do like full impression. Jay would do this thing that like I've never seen with anyone else. Like I don't understand it. It was like a superpower. He would do like if he start like so like. Jay would write sketch. that were crazy.

Like Jay would write sketches where he's like, I'm the Pillsbury Doe Boy, but I'm, I was burnt to a crisp. So now my name is Pilsie and I'm a gangbanger. And Lauren would be like, okay. I don't think we're going to go in that direction. That was a real one that I think he did. That was crazy, you know, like he would be like,

this guy, Uncle Bear, he had a guy with a stick that had a bear on the end of it named Uncle Something. That's all I remember. We had a lot of crazy characters. We all did. But Jay had crazier characters. but then Jay would come into the room,

like the pitch room and like do his pitch as Hannibal Burris. That's so funny. And I don't understand how to explain this correctly, but he would like access Hannibal Burr's comedy brain for 10 minutes. So he would be able to like improvise as Hannibal, if that makes sense. It's the thing that I'm the most. I know exactly what you're talking about.

And I think that's the point I'm making with Jay Farrell is. almost like he left Shay aside for five minutes and he just becomes Hannibal and goes like, this is everything Hannibal's about. And then goes like, wasn't that nuts? And you're like, how did you do that, man? Like, what? Like, you just took on his concepts of comedy and executed them perfectly. Like,

there's clips of him, there's a clip of him on a morning show while he's promoting a standup gig. And he does Kevin Hart doing his New Year's resolutions. And it's Kevin Hart. It's like the way he does it where he goes, bam, here's what I'll do. I'll get knee implants, seven feet tall, bam, now I'm in the NBA. And he does it, he does it in a way with the hands and stuff, then you go, this is Kevin Hart. That's just Kevin Hart.

It's crazy. It's like there's someone on the X-Men, like if they touch you, they touch you, they they absorb your powers. That's what he has. That's funny. Lauren's like, shake hands with Jay. We're going to need him. We gave him velvet gloves.

Be gentle. Jay has a white streak in his hair from now. He takes his gloves off. And Lauren shaves his head. Lauren is Professor X. Who are we kidding? 100% is a billion percent makes me beast or blob. No.

I think I would think you're beast or Wolverine. Interesting. I'll take it. I would make a fantastic Wolverine. You would be great. It's like Wolverine if the if you were just like, I'll say it. I'll say it. If Wolverine was like, I don't like violence.

Can you imagine what would happen? I just want to see. Oh, there are so many people's face. want to see where they go, Bobby. Hey, hey, honey, Bobby Moynihan just got cast as Wolverine. Oh, I would pay billions for that. Someone's doing, someone's doing dishes and they're like, oh, you mean in a new cartoon? No, no, no, no.

No. No. Live action. Live action. Oh, no way. And he's going to play Wolverine. What universe? I mean, Comic-Con.

They would just be the line to see you being like, what the hell? But Warren really is. He really is Professor X. He just shows up in a small Indiana town and he's like, I heard you can do a perfect impression. Show me your powers. I see promise. Yeah.

The only, I will say that. He's completely uncontrollable, but I know how to do it. I understand. He's going to turn dark and then he'll go to Magneto. That's Magd TV. Magneto and the dark forces are Matt TV. But he is, he's like, I mean... We call them the new mutants.

They work with the government to eradicate. I mean, if you want to work with Mr. Sinister. I guess if you think that juggernaut is good at physical comedy. Sure, sure, sure, Bobby, if you think juggernaut is cool. Yeah. Oh, this is my new favorite bill. Lauren is Professor X. I read your mom.

You've got a lot of dad stuff. You're going to fit in perfect. We're thinking about pairing you with night crawler after a movie. I don't know if it'll work, but you know what? It's a summer. A lot of people, you know, a lot of people thought Tina was my Jubilee, and I proved them wrong. I really proved them wrong.

They have no idea she was my storm. She could change the weather. Make it very icy in here if she walked her. Oh, she could change the weather. Were there? I'll tell you what's funny is sitting here talking to you. How much I reference or quote the kings of catchphrase comedy. Oh, my heart just jumped to beat.

Me and Big J used to think that was the sloppy pappy. Wait, what is Slapapap of Dracula's chasing you, turn around and trip the bitch. Which is a real Sinbad thing. You know, Charlie Sanders, Charlie Sanders introduced me to this. I can't I credit where credit is due I think it was Sinbad who said Of a Dracula is chasing you turn around and trip the bitch And we just thought that was the funniest thing in the world

And I just shoehorned it I didn't know it was real joke Oh yeah I didn't know there's real joke I was like that's such a fun joke I think the story was that Charlie had a tape of like a VHS tape Of stand up And like you know when you would tape stuff

Yeah And like then there would be like something in the middle And then you would tape something So there was just like one clip in between and it was just a clip of Simbad going, if a Dracula is chased, you turned around and tripped the bitch. And then like the next thing started

and he told me about it and that always stuck with me. It's great. That's shoehorned that in there. Just because Brian Tucker was one of the writers. Shout out, Brian Tucker. I wrote a show with him. He was the one that would tell me

Jay Farrow stories. Because he would write the Stephen A. Smith things with him. Yeah. Yeah. We were writing the show while they were doing it and he goes, he just turns into Stephen A. Smith. On the weekend update, because there's ones where he goes,

I know Dwayne Wade. He feeds, me seedless fruits. And I asked Tucker, I said, who came up with that? He goes, Jay. Jay came up with that. Yes. He just, he'll, Jay will say things while doing impressions that he would not say as Jay in real life.

Yeah. Does that make, he like access is a part of his brain. It's true. Yeah. Yeah. It's like, it's like the, it's, I know this. It's like when the matrix, when he's like, I need to know Kung Fu real quick. And like, he downloads it.

Like, that's what it feels like. It's like he just goes like, okay, I have every, I can now be as equally funny as Hannibal Burris. And then all of a sudden he's back to Jay going like, what did I just say? Like, it's amazing. Brian Tucker's the man.

Brian's the best. Brian helped me write those in Christine Nangle. I love Christine Nangle. Jake Szymanski. Yeah, Christine Nangle and I worked on a pilot together and then I've been in writing rooms with her and she does Philly Girl, which is one of the funniest characters.

in one of those Philly Girl videos. But she, when she was the first person. That was like her surrogate or something or something like that. She was the first person I watched in person because she would do it in the writer's room jokingly as Philly Girl. And it was like, oh my God,

this is every woman I've ever met from Philadelphia. She's hilarious. She runs the like Simpsons now. Does she? That makes so much sense. Yes, yes, you get into a writer's room with her and you go like,

oh, you're the funniest person I think I've ever met in my life. She's a genius. Yeah, yeah, yeah. She's one of those people like James Anderson and Paul Appel at SNL where you're just like Brian Tucker. Brian Tucker. Colin Joe. Colin Joe.

Yeah, Colin Joe. But Tucker, you look back, Chappelle show, Chris Rock show, like all this stuff. They just step in and they go like,

we understand how to do this. It's like Harvey Kitell in Pulp Fiction. Yeah, they're just really good at structure of comedy and like she's a genius. But Tucker told me about hamburger. or you ever see and jokes just going, hamburger.

Well, that's why beef jelly, we immediately, immediately know. And he is a black dude that wears a cowboy. And do you know Shucky Ducky? Yeah, Shucky Ducky Ducky.

That was, that's what Slappy Pappy was. He told me about Shucky Ducky. Shuck a duck and what? Yeah, I just wanted to be Simbad my whole life. So now that was where that came from. I don't think I've ever seen anyone

kill harder than Simbad at Carolines. I like, you walked in the room and you go. You walked in and you were like, he hurt this entire room. him with laughter. No cussing. Well, just went in and it was like, you ever go on a date? How many hours do you think Simbad did comedy before we knew who Simbad was?

You know what I mean? Like, it's like that man probably just how many hours of stand-up comedy has Simbad done in his life? Yeah, it is the 10,000 hours where you go, he's perfected it. He's just so good at it. Yeah, he's more comfortable doing it than not. Yeah, but the, uh, but that's like Keenan. That blows my mind that Keenan is just, I mean, If he's not on camera doing sketch comedy, he's relaxing.

Yeah. And that is his entire life. Would you put him as, I think now. At least I hope he is. With, with you worked with him and we've seen his body of work on S&L. Is he, I think he's a top three cast member of all time.

If not the best cast member. I think, I think like if you're not being romantic about S&L and you're not going like, Gilda and John. Like, you know, which like they have their spot. And you know what I mean?

Like also Lorraine Newman, too. Lorraine Newman should be much higher up there. Yeah. And then everybody puts her. Keenan is number one cast member of all. Yeah, I would put my time. There's no other, there's no,

that he is Saturday Night Live. I mean, you think about Eddie Murphy, obviously saved the show from 80 to 85. I don't know, good. Edward is he Murphy? Yeah. He was in Shrunk. When you do the SNL reunion shows.

Mm-hmm. All the time. All the time. You guys all the, but like 40 and 50 were big deals. I was at both. Yeah. On the show for 40th, came back for the 50th.

When you go back for the 40th anniversary and you're on the show, is it like homecoming week where you're like, hey, we got to give our spots. Like, we're going to be kind of the kids. I mean, that's the show. Yeah. I got on the show and they were like, cast members aren't in it anymore.

Alec Baldwin's doing everything. And it was like, what's this now? Excuse me? I thought someone could do it. I tried real hard to get here. I kind of dedicated my whole life. Alex Baldwin got the Emmy nomination. Great.

Hey, I'm on that before him. No, no, no. Is this wall punchable? Yeah, no, he's been here a whole bunch this week. Oh, man, he's so cool. And he was up for 97 hours, too. Yeah, you guys aren't just like a sleep deprivation. I love you, Alec.

I'm glad you got it. Yeah. Good job, Alex. Man, I'll tell you what, I did a scene in a movie with Alec Baldwin, and I was going through a breakup, and it was the honest moment of my life because he was talking me through a break. The singular human then. And he's always Alec Baldwin. I did 30.

rock with him. Oh, yeah. And SNL, yeah, the best. But we sat down at a diner and he went, we're going to do my coverage first. And you went, yeah, absolutely. And so, because Fred Wolf, it was a movie, it was drunk parents. Fred Wolf was directing. And they do, he does the coverage and then they're turning around.

So we have a break. And I'm like depressed because I'm going through this breakup. And Al goes, we start talking and he stops and he goes, got to get a plate of fries. And they bring us a plate of fries. He's like, ketchup. and they bring the ketchup and you're sitting there and he's like what happened and we're sitting there eating french fries and i'm and i'm telling him about the breakup and i just remember i was like you know she was real into it and then she went on vacation and she completely like changed and he tips the fry in the ketchup and he goes

someone got in her ear and took a bite of the french fry and i was like this is in that moment i went this is the weirdest shit i've ever been through in my life is alec baldwin coaching me through a breakup so like it's so funny to he like it's just like I know the answer yeah he goes you know I went through he goes I went through a divorce in 2000 and I well yeah with Kim basing me like I think I heard about it out my favorite thing he ever said he did monologues at ask cat one time the yeah improv show at UCB a legendary improv show being like when he first started like being a male on a soap opera and in Hollywood and like how he like these men would come after him essentially yeah and he just said this phrase one night he talked about like some italian

man that approached him at a, at a restaurant, and he went, he approached me. He had a wallet thick as hippo skin. Who thinks that? Who are you? He had a wallet thick as hippo skin. I'll never forget that. I'll never forget it. The confidence of that man. Yes. At most comedians, we can all agree are insecure. It's why we go after laughs. It's why we are so desperate for laughs. It's why we just want to make people laugh. And having a man that confident around who's also very funny is i feel comfortable telling this story he goes we were rehearsing at s and we were i passed him in the hallway he had his dinner he's dinner had just gotten there and we had we were just done with dinner we were

about to start rehearsing again and i noticed i was like i noticed his din he was he had it in his hand like it just got there and i remember thinking like me it's starting on time and he goes to jenna the stage manager he's like hey uh i just need my dinner or she said that like, hey, Alec, five minutes. And he's like, my dinner just got here. And he was like, five minutes, we're starting to rehearse. And I just saw him kind of like, look down and go like, okay. And he just walked into the studio.

And he was like, is this rehearsing next? Yeah. And it was like, the hotel scene. Yeah. I've never seen a hotel with this kind of television before. Can we get one with like the doors that open up? And he was like, I don't think we have that, but sure, I'll go, I'll go look for one. And he was like, great.

How long would that take? And the guy was like 20 minutes. He was like, perfect. Oh, my God. What a genius. What a genius. Wow. He's been in this business for a while.

I was like... That lighting scaffolding. I don't think that's up to color. He just bought himself the 20 minutes he needed, not his problem, and then took his bag and, like, winked at me as he. He did not wink at me, but he might as well have as he walked by. Cutting his steak and his dressing room. With fingers like this.

Yeah. Yes. It was a perfect move. That is so cool. It was a perfect move. To watch him change the dynamic. It was like he's been at SNO longer than I have, man. He's been here for a hundred years.

He knew how to get. six minutes. That is so cool. If you're a small business owner, damn, you got Hutzpah. That's crazy because it scares me. How do you do everything? How do you run everything?

Get started today. Another time we were there, so when someone asked where the bathroom was, and Tom Hanks was like, it's right down there. And I remember being like, yeah, of course he just been here forever. he knows where, like, he knows where everything is. He could probably tell me the renovations. The quickness, the quickness where Tom Hanks is like, it's right that way. And, like, just went on.

Like, it was a very, like, you forget that there's, like, four or five famous people that, like, are essentially cast members. Steve Martin can just walk in and he goes, Justin Timberlake was like that. Timberlakes, I have an apartment built on to this to 8-H. I can go to sleep. Do you guys want to go there? I still have.

Under the bleachers. Yeah. Candles Burgins down there. Yeah. She goes, hey, you go, Murphy Brown. Hey, where are you been? My, uh, my friend. who I worked with on billions and she still cuts my hair,

but she was your, Katie, she did your hair and she was like, is now my next door neighbor, I think. Oh, I know where you live. You live?

Let's tell them. Yeah. No, no. Go to this neighborhood. But she, I'll go to 30 Rock to get my haircut when it's a show week. Because she's like,

hey, it's in the city. You don't have to come up all the way up there. Just come get my haircut or whatever. And I will like stop when they were doing, SNL 50 they had, because it's in the wig shop. That's where I get my haircut. So you walk through and you see. Yeah.

It's the floor. It's eight age. Yeah. It's like costumes. And S&L 50. I stole everything. Dude, they had two boxes out. And I took pictures and stole my phone.

It was next to each other. And I like stopped and had, and it was Dana's church lady. Yeah. Yeah. And in a box. I have a lot of those pictures. But I also, yeah. Was Matt Foley?

Great deal. Yeah. Was the Matt Foley? Chris Farley, Matt Foley suit. And they said when they pull them out, they're all like kind of together. So they, and I was like,

this is what Farley wore. And they were like, yeah, and I was like, and this is the Dana Carvey Churchley. That was the one of the coolest parts as being like an SNL fan was like being in the middle of a show

in a quick change, throwing on a suit and seeing Farley or Belushi like written in the pants because it's the same pants or the same costumes or like me and Chris Parnell have the same shoe size. So a lot of my shoes were Parnell or Farley. Like it's like, oh my God.

Or like you're seeing a picture. You're waiting to do a sketch and you're looking at a picture of Lothar of the Hill people. And you're like, oh, my God, I used to watch this sketch. And then you're like, wait a minute. I'm wearing Chris Farley's, I'm wearing those boots. That's like, like, I'm wearing those. That happened with a suit. I had a peach tuxedo on.

And I was like, this has to be like the coolest thing I've ever wore. And then you walk by a picture and there's John Belushi in a peach tuxedo. And you're like, oh, my God. And you look inside and it says, Jay Balusie. and you're like, oh my God, maybe Jim Belushi wore this. No, but like... From the movie K-9? No, that happened once two or else like,

Balushi wore this. That might be Jim. That might be Jim. That is funny. Calm down, Bobby. Calm down, you've got a sketch to do. No offense, Jim. You're breathing.

Get him the panic bag. He's wearing a hero's clothing. Put me in cerebral. We need to calm him down. He goes, I'm going to go into his thoughts. I'm going to make him think it's Jim. Moynihan's getting too grateful again. He goes, yeah.

We can't. have him happy. I'm making him think he was a fan of according to Jim. But it is, you know, a lot of the times where I fucked up was I was too much of a fan when I auditioned. And when they called me in, that's a, that's a fantastic sentence for people auditioning for S&LT. I was too much of a fan. I let it, because I was writing a cartoon with Tucker. And we were writing it. Wow. I didn't know you knew him that well. Yeah. And Tucker was like, we got put together and we were writing this thing and I was a big fan of him. And the first two weeks of us writing is just me asking questions about Chris Rock Show, Chappelle Show and S&L. But we're writing it. And then my agent was like,

hey, do you want to audition from S&L? And I was such a fan that I was like, no, because I know, I did the same thing. Because I would go watch you guys at UCB. And I was like, I need to wait. I'm not ready yet. I'd also be like, uh, no. It's like, I'm not that funny. These guys are unbelievable. And Tucker and I were writing the show. And Tucker was, I was like, hey, I think I'm going to put myself on tape for S&L. And he was like, you should. You know how he is.

He's like, yeah, do it. And so I did it. And why he's great is because he can be emotionless. Yeah, he's goes, he can go like, your emotions don't matter. So like maybe don't. Yeah. That's exactly it.

They don't matter. That's a perfect description of it. Okay. Yeah. And then I did it. And they liked the tape and they came back. watched me do stand up. And then I did the live audition at UCB.

And I saw Frank Garcia held who I was like. Oh, amazing. I was like, well, he's, he's S&L. He was born to be on that show. I literally watched him. I'm not joking. I watched him at that UCB showcase and I went to my agent and I went, well, it's that guy. He just did a perfect Dan Aykroyd.

And he did a perfect Jimmy Kimmel. I've never seen anybody do that. Give him S&L. That helped me. Because then I went out there and I went, fucking, who cares? I saw the guy who's going to get SNL. And then Tucker was like, hey, they liked you. We're going to bring you in to 8H to screen test.

And that's what fucked me up. Because I went in and I was like doing the thing in the hallway of like, oh, oh, oh. And then Dave, the director, you know, tells me, brings me in. And he goes, hey, don't think too much or whatever. And I'm waiting to go up on home base and I'm a fucking idiot. And I went like, Dana Carvey, Mike Myers, Chris Farley, all my, Phil Hartman. by one of my favorites of all time, and it fucked me up. And I was like too tight.

I wasn't like funny. I wasn't loose. Interesting. And I was like, I got off stage and I remember walking out of 30 Rock and like just walking around that area and just sitting in front of a Chase Bank and being like, I fucked up. I fucked up. Everyone who, that Chase Bank.

I know exactly. And by the way, it's across the street from serious. It's on 48 and 6th. I know. That Chase Bank has seen. where it's got the weird. So many sad comedians. I did a show across the street from that.

I called my mom from that the vestibule of that Chase Bank going like, I think I got it. What's funny is that ended up being, because for me it was a place I called my agent and was like, I was too into it. I was too tired. I didn't do well. And then I ended up doing a serious XM show for eight years,

the bonfire, which I loved to death. But we would smoke a joint before every show. And I would stare at that Chase Bank and I'd be like, I remember failing and standing in front of that Chase Bank being like, I fucked up. And then they brought me back to next year, but they brought me back in a way where they're like, I think it was shook us. It was like. I got brought back too. You know, I had the same exact thing.

Well, I auditioned, uh, uh, was told, like was brought in. Yeah, it was like me, Donald Glover and Jordan Peel went in together. And literally sitting on the three of us sitting on the couch talking to Lorne. And I had known both of them. You know, I had known Donald since he was 15. Yeah, doing Derek. Yeah. And the three of us sat on that couch and he went like, well, I have decisions to make.

And you're just like, why are you toying with us? And then the writer's strike happened. So it was like nine months of like, I think I, I think me and a couple of my friends are getting it. But I'm not sure. Like it was like, it was crazy. And then like the second the strike ended, I saw. Like, it was like, the strike ended, like on the news. Yeah.

And then it was like, SNL, like, literally like on my phone. And I was like, no way. And it was like, uh, we can't hire you. We're, well, Maya Rudolph left, uh, during the strike and we, we're going to hire a woman instead. And I was just like, what? And then it was gone. Yeah. And it was gone.

So, I mean, people don't realize. A couple months later, it was like, coming on Monday. And by the next Monday, I was, I was in a sketch with Michael Phelps. That's crazy. Yeah. Because people don't realize that it really is the moment. you know you're going to get it if you meet Lorne. And I was writing that thing with Tucker and he was like,

I think you're the last guy to not meet Lauren. He's like, I think you're the guy that gets cut off. And that was the year that I didn't think I did well. So there was like, he's like, he's going to talk to three people. And I think it was. I see what you mean. I see what you mean. It was Pete Davidson, Frank, and Andrew Santino were the three guys.

Wow, that's good to hear. Yeah, that went and talked and I was like, oh, I'm not getting it. And then the next year they were like, they called me up. they were like, hey, probably not going to get it, but we want to screen test them again. And this time I went in and I was way more loose. Yeah. And it really helped. I made Lauren crack during my audition.

And that was the thing where I was like, I'm not going to get it. That's all you got it. It's in really like, yeah. And I got him to laugh at Winnie the Pooh addicted to honey. There's a thing where he went like, bah, like that. Which you would have written and I would have got cast out. I would have loved that. I would have loved that.

I just wanted the idea. Or like Peter Dinklage, who I believe played Winnie the Pooh. And a sketch I was in. I might have been E.R. in that. That was the same year I, that was the year I auditioned. Oh, wait, I think I know this story. Yeah. I think I've heard you talk about that.

Well, the first one was Jason. I think I was in that sketch. Jason Statham's, Jason Stakems. When I auditioned, I did Jason Statham edible arrangements. And I went, oh, you're sick of getting the same old fruit. Send your love, a cantaloupe, shape like a fist. And then they did Jason Statham, Jason Stacom's. And I went, that's much better.

That's way tighter. It's so crazy, like, being on both sides, like being a fan of SNL for many, many years and still, so since after, and being there, that whole thing, like, I've seen it a couple times where someone's like, that's my idea. And it's like, seeing comedy like minds, like, write the same thing very close to each other has happened so many times and you go like, g-e-y-y-y-y-y-ye. I'm not one of those people that goes like, I'm not one of those people that was angry. agree about it because what I've said before and I've told the story is that when you audition, they go, hey, you're giving us all this. You ever read Jay Moore's book? I was just going to bring up Jay Moore.

I read that book a hundred times because of that. You want to talk about one of the best voice guys of all times. Yeah. Jay Moore is one of the greatest impressionists. Another like Jay Farrow where you just go like doesn't get the respect that he deserves. My favorite clip of Opie and Anthony, one of my favorite clips is he calls in and he's doing voices and then he does reservoir dogs with Bobby Kelly

and Colin Quinn and it's Oh yeah to this day that lies He goes I don't know this guy's getting blood All over the back of my back scene like Cadillac is on my LA sneakers and you're like It's a perfect Colin Quinn Yeah he's insane he's the best his Harvey Kitell is like I could listen to him to

Colin Quinn like all day long Do you know James Adomian? Yes James Adomian is it's I would say It's criminal he never got to be on SNO I don't know if I've ever said this out loud. James Adomian, I don't know you're going to hear me say this now on a podcast.

Sometimes when I'm sad, I listen to James Adomian doing oh my God, I'm blanking on his name. The LA radio host that was really mean to women. Oh, God. Wait, he's not doing Don Imus?

No, not Don Imas. Oh, my God. There was like a a guy, he had, like, rules and he would blow him, Tom Likas, blow him up, Tom. Um, he would go, he would go, he would go to the school of Tom, Tom, Tom, like us, blow it up Tom, Tom, Dalikis dot com. And he's just like, you know, like, if a woman is married, she wants your money. Like, you know, like, and it's just like, and, and, and he's a piece of garbage, this guy. But James Adomian is improvising as him is like something like, when I, when I need to relax,

It's like, Zach Alvinac is live at the Purple Onion. Great. Him, James Adomian doing that, doing Tom Likas, or like, or like, um, uh, uh, Jimmy Glick. See, my favorite, Jimmy Glick is phenomenal. Like, that's what I listen to. My favorite thing of James Adomian that I bring up all the time on YouTube that I show to people on my phone, like a proud parent and I sit and I watch them watch it.

Right. How great is that? Is him doing Lewis Black reading out of a girl's diary where he's, He goes, today was the best day of my life. And I'm not even doing it justice where he goes, Timmy said I was cute. Heart thing. And he's like, does the finger thing in a way that you're like,

please watch. If you're watching this at home, pause this. Go watch James Adomian doing Lewis Black. I can't wait to see that. Reading out of a 13-year-old girl's diary. I was in Inside Out and Inside Out too. I got to see a screening with Lewis Black of Inside Out too. Oh, yeah, his anger.

Never met him before in my life. I don't, I still don't know if he knows who I am. I don't care. I walked past him and I said, it's a great movie. And he went, for a cartoon. You go, yeah, the guy from Pixar is like, oh, shit. Yeah. He's the, he said, for a cartoon.

For a cartoon. About Inside Out, too. What are an old, what are like an old-time? It's the funniest thing I've ever heard. He goes, a talkie, that's just cartoons? That's a talkie that's drawings. To say that about, to be, oh. Yeah, that is great.

He, Adomian was one of the first person to do a perfect Jesse Ventura, and he would do those. Wow. He does Mark Marin perfect. He does Jesse Ventura perfect. And Paul Giamotti. You want to know how good I am at impressions? I played Jesse Ventura on SNL in What Up with that? And I never said a word, but I tap dance to the whole, I tap dance across stage with a cobra,

with a giant snake on my neck. Yeah, that's a Tucker sketch. Yeah. What's up with that? Yeah, one of my favorites. Yeah. What's up with that? Sadecas just hitting.

the running man every time. I love how silly Tucker is. I love how silly. One of my favorite characters I ever got on, I wrote with Brian Tucker and John Solomon is this character called Janet Peck and Paul, the dumbest thing in the world. It was just this lady who was just begging celebrities

to have sex with her and would say, please, just throw what in me, please. And I would, it was just, it was Brian Tucker. It was me and Brian Tucker as a woman and that should never happen. And I hope Tucker doesn't get mad that I'm saying this on a podcast, but when we were writing, that thing. I was at the cellar and Amy Schumer was filming a train wreck with Bill Hader,

who had just left S&L. And Hader was like at the cellar. And he's like hanging out. Pete was in that too, right? Yeah, Pete Davidson was in. That's where Bill Hader saw. That's where they met. Yeah. That's where they met. But Hater was like at the cellar and I was like, hey, I'm writing a pilot with Brian Tucker. And he went, please have him do the impression of a man being fucked in the ass to death. And I went, I'm absolutely, I'm not exactly what you're going to ask him about that. And then we're in Tucker's apartment. And I go, can you do the impression of the guy getting fucked with it?

And he's at his laptop. And he goes, yeah. Oh, my God. That's a bad is he. Wow. Yeah. Then shut it and did it. And it was, oh, my God.

I don't. It's. You're like my wife. Like, there are people that just like, like, when they talk about people, they just, like, you just became Brian Tucker for a sick. That was crazy. My wife is like that. I can't do that.

Brian Tucker did an amazing thing to me. was telling me about like what it was like to work on the Chris Rock show. Yeah. And you have to understand, I'm telling this story out of order. I'm going to tell what happened after first. Yeah, yeah. He told me this story after he did this to me. Okay.

I like that. He said when he was on the Chris Rock show, his first night on the Chris Rock show, he was writing a sketch and Chris Rock walked in the room, said, what are you working on? Like, nice to meet you. What are you working on? said he showed him the sketch and that Chris Rock took it, opened the window, threw it out the window, closed the window, and went like, I'm just kidding, man. And like, did like a bit. Sure. He told me this after my first night at SNL. Yeah. I'm writing. Tucker walks in. He says, what are you writing? I hand him my sketch and he looks at it and he opens up the window and he throws it out the window and I see it flutter across Radio City Music Hall. And I look at him like, why on earth? Why are you so cruel?

Why on earth? Like, I'm a grown man. Like, why would you do that? And he laughs and he's like, and then he tells me the Chris Rock story. He's like, they did that to me on my first day. He goes, so print me up another one and then hand it to me. And I went, I don't have a computer yet. I wrote that.

I wrote it on paper. And you just threw it out the window. Oh, no. He's like, uh, well. And he was like, I'll be right back and like literally like ran outside to like go try and find it. I was like Tucker, don't worry about it, man. But like that is that really happened.

And I was like, oh my God. Why are you so? They're so cruel here. Well, you know what's funny is New York stand up, the throwing the paper out the window is when you're a young comic and you walk up with a drink and someone just slaps it out of your hand on the sidewalk and you go, why would you do that to me? That's. Bobby got me like that. Jim Norton did it to me once, and he went, shut up.

That's territorial, when it's coming from another comedian in a comedy club, I feel like, I had the lighting designer for S&L, Phil Himes, God rest his soul. He was another Don Pardo.

He had been like in the building forever. He was 6,000 years old. I love him with all my heart. Lauren's like, there's an emmy that will release him. He has 700 Emmys, meanest man in television. In the best way possible.

He was the one that walked up to Jennifer Lopez and be like, shut your mouth, we're moving. You know what I mean? Like he was that guy. Well, you need a person like that in those shows. He, he, he, he was old school.

Yeah. We'll, we'll leave it at that. Because he, I was, it was my first week on the show. I'm in the hallway. There were famous people around. I'm standing there. I have a cookie on a plate and he just smacked it out of my hand and went, think thin, Moynihan, you're on television now.

And I was like, wow. What a moment. You know, I really wanted that cookie. Yeah, I'm really glad. Bow Bridges heard that. Oh, you know, the lesser known bridges of the Bridges boys. Oh, that was, you'd be standing in the hallway and walk down the hallway and it would just be like insane. Or you would be waiting to, you'd be like dressed as a pirate waiting to go in a sketch.

I was watching the monitor one night waiting to go on and the sketch ended and there was like a plastic dinosaur that walked at the end of the sketch and did something stupid. And Stephen Spielberg just leaned over my shoulder and went, mine were better. And I was just like, that's crazy. This place is the best. That's crazy. Yeah. That is crazy.

Yeah. But there is those people that like, you know, for anyone that's ever pursued a dream and then there's a moment where you get to do the thing you've dreamed about, but you're in this stage where you're like, what the fuck? The first time I saw Chris Rock in person, I was like at Stand Up New York and he came in to do a set and I was like, he came up to me at a jet game once. Like just like felt a hand on my shoulder.

and he was just like, hey man, you're doing good, don't treating you right? Like, we had been through a war together. Yeah, that's the general. Never spoke to him. Like, he was just like, I said it. Like, you know, like it was just like that. And then when he hosted SNL,

uh, not as kind. That was crazy. Was very much like, not meeting he was mean, was very much like, how long you've been on the show? You gotta get out of here.

Yeah. Like he went into like Papa mode. Well, he does that. I mean, he did that. He's done at the cellar for 15 years. Yeah. If you walk in and you're not famous, he's like,

yeah, he's like, is this guy and you're like, all right, we're co-workers, though. The best advice I never listened to I got from Chris Rock. If I could go back, if I had a time, a comedy time machine to go back in time and take something back, standing on stage, backstage at the benefit con, the Sandy, the 2020, the Sandy Hurricane Benefit concert. With like Kanye West and all those people. Kanye West is on stage.

Me and Seth Myers are backstage. I'm dressed as drunk uncle. And Chris Rock comes up to me. He goes, you're not going out there, are you? Dress like that? And I was like, yeah, he goes, don't go out there, man. Don't go out there. Like, he was, like, concerned for me.

And I was like, what are you talking about, man? Like, relax. I'm going out to do this bit. We walked out on stage to complete silence, just like silence. Kanye West had just finished. He was in a kilt, screaming the N-word and, like, dropping, like, three. Like, you know, like, and then out comes drunk uncle in hour seven of this concert where they're waiting for Bruce Spring.

Springsteen. Chris Christie's in the audience. And drunk uncle comes out. And it was just Madison Square Garden as a whole turned to each other and went like beers. We're all getting beers here. And like the entire Madison Square Garden just stood up and left. And we just, and Chris Walk was 100% right. But he was like, don't go out there. In your defense. And I've never bombed so hard in my life. But you can't. At Madison Square Garden. You can't. And no offense. I walked. You can't change. that lineup. No.

You can't go. I'm not going out there. No. Also, it was supposed to be Stefan in the height of Stefan and Bill was like, I'm not doing it. And I was like, okay. They were like, send Moynihan out there. And like, I was an idiot and was like, I'll do it. Like, thinking like it was going to benefit me somehow.

Like the garden was going to be like, didn't think I would be walking home crying, dressed as drunk uncle, because I just walked down the stairs of Madison Square Garden and out the front door. I didn't even go to my car. that was waiting for me. I just went the way I knew how to get out of Madison Square Garden and walked home. And S&L was like, where's the costume?

I was like, it's on my bathroom floor. It looks like it got evaporated. There is not a... People don't understand bombing until you've walked out of the room in stage makeup. Until you've called your mom and go like, do I just come home? Did I make a mistake?

I did that. That's the story. I told about bombing. on Mom's Night Out when they filmed this stand-up show for moms, and I needed the money. It's like 20-11. And they're like, hey, you kind of do some jokes that are, it's about my mom dating a bunch of dudes. And they were like, hey, you should do those jokes.

And I went and I did it and I bombed. Yeah. I bombed bad. And then they called, it was still a waiter. And they called me while I was waiting tables. And they went, why you come back tonight? We'll do it again. I want you try softening the jokes.

It was at 15-15, Broadway. TRL Studios. Wow. So Times Square was out the window. to work there. And I bomb so bad that I get off stage, grab my backpack out of the green room, full stage makeup, went downstairs, went to a bar, got a beer, called my mom and was like, am I wrong? Yeah. Oh, yeah. Am I wrong in doing this? And she was like, I don't think so, but I wasn't there. And I was like, yeah, yeah, bombing. Someone in New York City saw you sad as

drunk uncle near the garden and was like, that couldn't be. What do you think he walks around in the costume? And they go, I'm pretty sure. Someone, I hope someone saw that. Yeah. I always, that's the one. You know what someone gave me recently, which is crazy, which it's crazy is someone gave me a photo.

It's like they took a, I used to work at Pizzeria Uno in Central Avenue in Yonkers, and someone has, there's a photo of them at Pizzeria Uno, and I'm in the background cleaning the bar watching Saturday Night Live. No way. I would watch it every Saturday. I like lost customers because they were like, can we watch the game? And I was like, no. Yeah.

Saturday. Like, Tommy TV is SNL. And they're like, Bob, you have tables. And I'm like, I don't care.

Like I'm watching TV. That's the good, that's the good version of a bad employee story. Where you go, he used to watch us and all the time. It would fight customers if they changed it. And you know where he ended up? SNL.

Most of the time they go, he wouldn't change the channel and he'd fight customers. You know what happened to him? Prison. It was in Westchester County. where the X mansion is. Oh, Lauren knew.

It's all coming together. I'm bringing you back with my, with my Cyclops, Tracy Morgan. My cyclops is Colin Jost. Yeah. By the way, I mentally cast Colin Jost as Cyclops. I corrected you because I was like,

no, Colin Jost is the Cyclops of S&O. Colin Jost, I'm going to say this, because it needs to be said, there are two people besides Keenan that are extremely important to Saturday night. lives history and i think Tina fay is one of them and colin jost is should be known as one of the top

four people important for saturday night live ever took that thing together in a ways that people they think he just does weekend update and you're like yeah and also just like kind a good kind dude yeah like just like the best he was so nice when i didn't get it i saw him at the comedy seller and he was so fucking nice about it he goes hey you did a really good job and you're like he's that he's Good at that. He's good at the bedside manner of it. That's fantastic. It was really good.

Sorry you didn't get it. And I was like, thanks, man. Look up his family. His family's amazing too. Both of her parents have phenomenal stories. Colin Scott comes from a great family. His brothers, Casey's are hilarious writer.

And his dad is like, their whole family. Left for the 50. Got on the plane for the 50th, not knowing if I was in the show. My ego had died. I was just like, I guess that's it. But I had also, like, entered this amazing phase where I was like, oh, my God,

I get to go see it for the first time as a fan. Like, I never got to go. Really? You know what I mean? Like, oh, before you were on the show. Yeah, I never got to go. And after you never went back to watch like anybody hosts? No, I went back once and I didn't.

I felt like, it's a lot. And you feel, I wish I didn't. I wish I could go back every weekend and not be a problem. But I think that's another reason why I wasn't so great there was like I wasn't. my authentic self. Like, you know, that whole thing. I'm being serious. You know what I mean?

Like if I go there, I want to go and relax. And I think I can do that now, but at that time, no. That makes complete sense by the minute. After the 50th, everything changed. But like, uh, uh,

went to that 50th going like, this isn't for you. This is for S&L. And by the time I landed, they were like, not only are you in the show, you're doing a drunk uncle. It's because of,

like they didn't say this, but like, it's because of, Colin and you should thank him. Yeah. And like Colin, Colin changed a lot of people's lives that night. Oh,

by by speaking up and going, we should give this person and this person and this person a moment for their, for their brains for the rest of time. Because like just being involved in that and just feeling that sense of like, I put my time in there. Yeah. And it's the 50th. Colin gave me that and gave a lot of people.

Colin looked out for a lot of people that night. I love that. Yeah. And I think that's like a cool thing that people should know. Because I think a lot of the times people think, well, what is he worried about? That was one of the best nights of my life, one of the coolest experiences of my entire life. Well, yeah, too, because you're like, I sat down in that chair with Chris, the stage manager, and I was like, I'm sitting a drunk uncle at the 50th. Like, they gave me a minute, however long I have, during the 50s.

of Saturday Live. Like, I can't believe how lucky I am. And then I turned and went like, I'm home. I'm home again. And it wasn't home. It was not the studio audience. It was Oprah and Conan and, and they're all right here. Yeah.

And it was very, very different. And that happened really quickly for me. Like I went from like, man, I'm home again to like, oh no. Look who's in my house. You can see it. I rip Collins jacket. I ripped the buttons off his jacket. He goes, you ripped my buttons during the 50th

because I was just like, I can't explain to you. Those, I hate when actors talk about acting and all that stuff. But like those two minutes, I can't, I'll never. Was the pop? Did you take in the pop? Because watching SNL 50, it was a hard audience. That's a hard audience to make left. Drunk.

huge pop. As a fan that watched it, you got the like, it felt like the audience went like, we're sick of clips. There's someone performing for us. Let's laugh for him. It felt like they were grateful to not be watching clips and to see someone who was happy to perform for them. And they felt, you got Merrill, you're looking at Merrill Streep. Yeah. And she's laughing. And you're like, it was a very, a chemical reaction in my body happened. You know, it's when a studio audience laughs and you know you're doing well on S&L, you're happy that Lauren's happy. On the 50th, you're going, Conan O'Brien's laughing at me. They're one of the greatest minds. And I can see it. And Jerry Seinfeld's, you know what I mean?

Like next to him. And you're like, it, it just, something broke. And I just, I just went like full drunk uncle with Colin. And like, I, it was, it was the one of the best two and a half minutes of my life. Well, I will tell you, you know, I think is someone that was watching at home that loves the show, I think you forget that the audience at S&L 50 is Oprah Conan, Jerry Seinfeld, Steven Spielberg. Also, the regular audience is that,

and because it was the 50th, they have extra seats. Sure. So it was like the desk and then Jerry Seinfeld and Oprah and Stephen Spielberg and George Lucas and every single famous person, Jack Nicholson, every, and you're noticing this, you're waiting for, you're looking at cue cards and you're like, can Viola Davis get out of the way so I can see,

You know what I mean? Like, it's like, it's, it was, it, that has never happened to SNL. Yeah. And yeah, that night. But I would say, as someone that watched it at home, you forget that the audience is that famous. And I think everyone reacted at home the same way that the regular fans did what they were like, drunk uncle.

Like we were way, we wanted to see. There are characters you want to see when they know. And that's too with the SNL fans too. Like, it's like, you want to see characters. Like it was like, the silliest thing in the world was like, and it weirdly meant a lot to me was like, insinuating that because Cecily was pregnant insinuating that drunk uncle

and the girl at the party now have a child like my SNL nerd brain went like back to like you remember those Wayne's World like when Wayne's World came out the like the books there was like those graphic books that was just like S&L writers

now being an adult realizing that S&L writers just got like 50 grand to put a bunch of jokes in a book. Yeah I bought those books. Yes I still have them. I was obsessed with Wayne's World so I know exactly sure. They're going to win they had a flip book of Wayne in the corner doing the dream scene. It was my favorite book in the world.

I don't remember why I started. No, I love it. But I think those books and those jokes. But SNL fans saw you and I think it really was a moment of like, you know what it is? It's like when you're a real big fan of a band and they're at a festival, you go, if you're a really big fan of them, you go, I'm not going to get the same concert I would have got if I just went and saw them. But sometimes they play a song and you go, oh, oh. And other people now get to see this.

And I feel like that was your moment at the festival to go like, who far? Hell yeah. I love this. It was also nice to go like, oh, people do know this. Yeah. I mean, people love this.

You, at least I did. You know, you talk yourself out of it. Yeah. Well, the come down is like, I shouldn't get this.

I'm a piece of shit. That's why we're all comedians because we're better at that. That's why we're not Alex Baldwin. Yeah. That's why we're not going and going, I need seven minutes. It's also why there's no handsome funny men.

It's true. Yeah, well, because they go. John Ham's pretty funny. John Ham is pretty funny, but I think a lot of them need damage. You need, like, damage on the inside to go,

this isn't all fixed. That's why Alec Baldwin can do all that because there's something in him. He did something. Which was crazy because you go, like, I was real big on, like, I did a movie with him. And then after that, you go, I didn't do a movie with him. Well, it was a very safe movie.

But you did, hoppers in theaters right now. King George. That's how you pivot. That's how you sell. That's another crazy thing. I was thinking about that test saying my wife. It's like, I'm in the least. in a Pixar movie and I'm going to talk about

SNL the whole time watch. And it's true. That's the power of SNL. We talked about the fallen rise of Reggie Day. Yes, it's true. It's true. We plugged the other thing. I truly think you're one of the funniest human beings alive.

Same here, man. I've enjoyed being a fan ears and meeting you is even better and you're just a man. And thank you for being so hilarious. Yeah, same here, man. Yeah. Did you rule?
