Can you just explain what your week has been like?
00:02
Dude, it's actually, so, everyone's coming out to me like,
00:06
oh, I'm exhausted, this week's crazy.
00:08
But for some of us,
00:10
because there's so many legends here,
00:12
and they're really doing a lot,
00:14
my week was pretty easy until, like, Friday.
00:18
I kind of was, I had to try a few things on,
00:21
but I was mostly at home.
00:24
And then I came in and did a sketch with
00:27
people I never thought I'd get to meet,
00:29
and then I got to go to a concert
00:31
with my girlfriend that was lovely.
00:33
It's been a great week.
00:35
Who are those people that you never thought
00:37
you would get to meet, that you're in a sketch with?
00:39
That just won't come out until after the show?
00:42
No.
00:44
So if you can't say it, don't say it.
00:46
Okay.
00:47
It's two of the biggest comedic people ever.
00:51
One was a cop in Beverly Hills.
00:55
I think we know who that is.
00:58
You don't have to spoil anything about the broadcast,
01:00
but in the past few days,
01:02
have you gotten to sit down with any of these
01:04
SNL greats and pick their brain at all?
01:06
Yeah.
01:07
I try not to be annoying or anything,
01:09
but Dana Carvey I've talked to
01:11
about economics for hours.
01:14
He's the best.
01:16
Sandler I've gotten to talk to a little bit.
01:19
It's cool.
01:20
This week feels like,
01:21
when they come around every once in a while,
01:23
it's like, oh my gosh.
01:25
But once they're around two days,
01:27
it's like, oh, we're friends.
01:29
And I'm talking to this kind of Kristen Wiig,
01:32
like I would a friend.
01:34
It's cool.
01:35
If you could plop yourself into any other SNL cast,
01:38
where would you put yourself?
01:43
My era was the hater,
01:46
Fred Armisen, Kristen Wiig era.
01:49
But it would have been cool to be in the Phil Harmon era.
01:52
I would have loved to have worked with Phil Harmon.
01:54
Who's the Phil hater tonight?
01:57
I don't know.
01:59
He's like the one guy.
02:00
He's playing himself, doing whatever he wants,
02:02
as he should, as he's earned.
02:05
Is there a piece of advice
02:07
or a note from Lorne Michaels
02:09
that you have really taken to heart?
02:16
Definitely, but let me think.
02:19
He said,
02:21
well, it was a good way to put it,
02:23
none of this is normal,
02:25
and you're pretending that it is,
02:28
and that's kind of the job.
02:31
He also said to get an apartment that I can't afford,
02:34
because it'll make me work harder.
02:36
That's true.
02:38
And you did that?
02:39
I did that,
02:40
and I'm chasing the money.
02:44
But he's the one who writes your paycheck.
02:46
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
02:48
But I also can get other paychecks
02:50
with the opportunities the show's created,
02:52
stand-up and stuff.
02:54
Get an apartment that you can't afford.
02:56
It's scary, it's scary,
02:58
but it makes you work more.
