Oscar Nuñez asks about SNL favorites

This is a head gun podcast.

Checking All State First for a quote that could save you hundreds on car insurance is smart.

Unfortunately, not checking if you've got your keys in your pocket is not smart.

When you leave the house and the door locks behind you, you want to make sure that you've got a way to get back inside.

Yeah, checking first is smart.

So check all state first for a quote that could save you hundreds.

You're in good hands with all state.

China friends on the handsome pod.

Cheers.

Welcome to the handsome podcast.

I'm one of your hosts, Mae Martin, joined by Fortune Feemster and Tig Notaro.

Oh, yeah, we're back together, you guys.

Finally.

What should we talk about?

Let's get into it.

Oh, let's dig deep, you guys.

Let's dig deep for once.

Enough small talk.

How are you?

I'm good.

I've just been busy.

How's Ginger?

Ginger's good.

She is trucking along, still doing chemo and immunotherapy.

She had a blood transfusion recently because her red blood cells were pretty low.

And no new news as of right now.

She is on this one shot.

That's new that just as gnarly as I'll get out.

So that one only comes once every like three weeks, but when it does, it's like you can't leave your house for like four days.

It's

the side effects are so bad.

So that one she dreads.

It's crazy how like blood transfusions.

It's it's anytime I've known someone who's having that, there's like such a burst of energy after you have a blood transfusion.

Yeah.

Yeah, hers were so low when I called her when she was having it because she was supposed to have chemo that day, but the it was too low to do chemo.

So they gave her the transfusion and she was just like, I'm good.

it's fine i was like goodness

and then the next day she was like yep it's great everything's good so you know

definitely and is she still is she still um

crawling out of a pile of well wish well wisher cards and yeah for sure i mean it died down but she still gets a couple every day and does she read them all oh yeah she's and does she respond to all she wants to respond to all of them it kills her not to be able to but it's just would be so difficult yeah of course and she'll save a pile um

that like stood out or had some kind of connection to me or something and when i go home i'll read those and it's very sweet what people are doing that's nice and your brother

or brothers are still going out and yep

they'll check on her i'm it's i was i got to see her a ton this summer which was great but my schedule is so nuts for the next three months.

I don't know if I really don't know if I'll see her maybe for at least a month and a half.

That's tough.

Does she FaceTime or do you phone call?

She does not FaceTime, she does not know how, but I should have taught her.

She doesn't know how to push the button.

No, she doesn't.

Maybe her brothers can help her.

Maybe.

Look, if my stepfather could do it,

anybody on the planet.

Well, I just gave her my previous iPhone, so maybe she'll be able to tinker with it.

Did she not have an iPhone before?

She did.

It was just an older one.

Okay.

So now she has no excuse.

Yeah.

I mean, my stepfather,

when he would go to bed at night, he would unplug his phone, his computer, his printer.

Unplug the printer just in case.

Unplugged everything.

Wow.

Is it a safety thing or a saving money thing?

How do you save money unplugging your phone?

Well, doesn't it use some electricity so that's going towards the electric bill?

Sure.

I mean, what are you going to do with that?

I know that some people do think of that, those micro charges.

Sure.

That wasn't what's going on.

It was his lack of

understanding of electronics.

And he, you know, I'd go visit him and he'd be like, all right, Tig, well, when you go to bed, please unplug the computer.

Oh, I love that.

Like, he thinks that would stop the emails coming in.

He did.

That's what he thought.

It was insane.

And then I remember the first time I had a laptop and brought it home.

He came down.

It was with dial-up and he came downstairs and he said, oh, is that why I can't use the phone?

Because you have your machine plugged in.

It's like, that's correct.

So my point is he used to set up FaceTime dates with Max and Finn.

And so I have all the faith in the world that Ginger will be able to push the circle.

I think you're right.

She'll figure it out.

Although sometimes it's her, her not learning something is out of stubbornness and not necessarily

inability.

Yeah, like when I was in high school, she refused to learn how to set her alarm clock because she knew I would do it for her.

Whoa, interesting.

You were setting the alarm for her every day?

Uh-huh.

For her, I would have to go in and set her alarm clock for her.

And I'd be like, Mom, just let me show you.

And she would not.

No, I don't want to.

I don't want to, I don't need to know it.

And then when I went to college, guess who learned how to set her alarm clock?

Wait, wait, give us a couple of

movements.

Was it Taylor Dane?

No, not Taylor Dane, though we

Taylor Swift?

Not Taylor Swift.

Taylor Tomlinson.

Close.

Taylor Ortega.

Was it Ginger?

Was it your mother?

Oh, okay.

That took you five guesses.

And so what if you had refused to set the alarm?

I don't know.

I clearly didn't understand boundaries then.

I think part of the reason I'm not getting my driver's license is because I want to get rides around.

I like to be in the passenger seat.

Yeah, see,

when you don't have to do something, sometimes people are just like, why would I do that if I don't have to?

Yeah.

Interesting.

If the Uber didn't exist, you might already have your license.

Maybe, or I'd just, I'd be dating someone who drives.

Do you ever take any of those Waymo cars where there's no driver?

It's too scary.

It makes me feel like the world is hurtling onward and I'm out of touch because I'm like, that's petrifying to be in a drive.

Have you done it?

I haven't.

I strike myself as somebody who would be opposed to it.

I strike myself as one of my favorite things you've said, I think.

Well, then you might enjoy what I say to a bartender, which is, I'll have what I'm having.

Oh, God, that's good.

Oh, God, that's good.

I'll credit you when I steal that.

Thank you.

Yeah, I would have thought that that would have made me highly uncomfortable and not trusting, but I don't have a problem with it.

I just assume that it's probably all right.

You know, it's not like you're seeing, you know, did I say they're the self-driving?

There's like, it's ghost driver.

There's not a human being driving you around.

It's like a

robot.

Yeah, robot car.

And what happens if you jump into the passenger seat?

Oh, that's a good thing.

I don't think you.

Can you?

Does the door unlock?

Well, say you're from the back seat and you're like, I'm going to get in the driver's seat.

Well, I don't think you could get in there from the back seat.

Why?

You can.

It's just a regular car.

Oh, really?

Well, someone like me couldn't.

Maybe y'all little tiny things could.

Did you know, though, this is a friend of a friend got in one of those cars, the self-driving ones with no driver, like booked it, had a baby with her, put her, it was raining, put the baby in the car and temporarily closed the door so that the baby didn't get wet from the rain.

Car starts driving.

No.

No.

Takes off.

This isn't a true story.

This is a true story.

This is not a true story.

It is.

And then, so she's on the app freaking out and trying to get the car to come back and all she could do was cancel the trip but the car was already like six blocks away and she's just sprinting to the car and luckily the baby was fine but like you can't deprogram it once it's going it's going this is a friend of a friend you know for a fact this is not like some

story that you heard yeah well it's a no it was a friend of a friend but it was a friend of a friend but now that i'm trying i can't remember which friend it was and that's making me doubt myself.

But I strike myself as someone that tells true stories.

I'll have what I'm having.

That would be terrifying.

But I have to say, it excites, as a parent, it excites me to think of Max and

that we would be going in that direction of robot drivers and that Max and Finn would be in a robot car rather than a road.

Really?

That doesn't make you sort of nostalgic and wistful for like that they're going to grow up in a world that's so different to how we grew up.

Everybody grows up in a world that's so different than the previous generation.

To me, like for some reason, it feels and seems safer.

Yeah.

So, oh, Thomas said you can sit in the passenger seat.

Just send a note.

That's true, though, that every

like every generation is so different to the last.

And

I was on the news a bunch recently promoting my show.

And I kept saying, I, I met this newscaster and she was like, I think newscasters, that's like a calling.

Like you, like, she was newscaster to her bones.

She was so together, authoritative,

firm, kind, professional.

Attractive.

Very attractive.

And I gotta be.

I gotta be attractive.

And I said, well, what a crazy time to be on the news.

You know, the world is on fire.

And she was like, she said that she interviewed someone who was like a civil rights activist in the 60s or something.

And they were like, no, it's always been like

it was apocalyptic then.

There was Vietnam.

There was

just we have social media and fast news heading our way.

Yeah.

Well, it does feel particularly bad right now, but it was reassuring that she was like, everyone has always felt that way.

But I have to have moments where I check in when I'm overwhelmed and I have to go

aside from issues around the world, because when everything's going on around the world, it can feel like you're in imminent danger as well.

Yeah.

And you, you can be for sure, but like in actual

your immediate surroundings right now, am I in imminent danger?

Yeah.

And that's helpful for me sometimes when I get overwhelmed by

news, because of course, we're all

potentially in danger, but just that immediate, immediate check your surroundings.

Am I in imminent danger?

And when I can say no,

I can take a little bit of a breather.

And again, that's not to say that I feel disconnected from the world or because other people are in imminent danger, that it doesn't matter to me.

No, but also if you're paralyzed by fear, then you can't even help other people sort of function.

Like if you're, yeah, if you're terrible, but it's a helpful

reminder for me, yeah.

I'm just like, at what point are we like, oh, maybe as a species, we're

not good because it keeps, it seems like everything that happens in the news, I'm like, well, that's, you know, but if we were all healthy, like we're good-hearted, and human nature is ultimately kind, but I have to believe that.

But then it's sometimes like, well, maybe there is also this threat of cruelty that we can't seem to shake.

I don't know.

Anyways.

Well,

welcome to our comedy podcast.

I got to write a new hour of stand-up.

I'm going on tour in the new year and I'm like trying to figure out what I want to say and talk about.

And

yeah, it's a weird time to be doing stand-up.

And why specifically are you saying it's a weird time?

Well, just it seems like such a conspicuous omission to be doing

to be not talking about what's what's going on and all the suffering but then my comedy's always been kind of about

childhood and

you know myself and stuff so but yeah I think it'll come up in the show I'm I gotta figure out a way to well it's hard to do current events and stand-up because it changes by the hour right and you know suddenly you r you're writing bits on this one thing and then by the time you're you know, filming it or in another city, it's shifted or changed or on to the next thing.

Sometimes you write a bunch of stand-up about being a step-parent

and then it's not relevant anymore.

You can still talk about how you had an experience.

Yes, absolutely.

And also, I'll be talking a lot about that possum, Eric, in my garden.

Oh, got to.

That might be the bulk of the hour.

Checking all state first for a quote that could save you hundreds on car insurance is smart.

Unfortunately, not checking the expiration date on that lettuce is not smart.

You were meaning to make a salad last week and didn't get around to it, and now your hopes of a healthy lunch have wilted.

Yeah, checking first is smart.

So, check All State First for a quote that could save you hundreds.

You're in good hands with Allstate.

Are you writing new stand-up right now, Tig?

I am.

I have new-ish stand-up that I've been kind of continuing to

work on or perform.

Yeah.

And then I've had shows where I'll just take some

things that I've never said

and just go through them.

That's the fun, the fun period.

Yeah.

And also terrifying and

horrendous bombing period.

But yeah.

Yeah.

I'm slowly but surely working on it.

Did I tell you guys that my tour is like a bus tour?

It's the first time I've ever done with like bunk beds and then just a little old me in this bus.

How many, do you know how many cities you're doing?

35.

But you're just banging them all out in a row?

I'm going to do

two weeks in the bus, one week off, two weeks in the bus, one week off, because I'm a fragile soul.

What made you do a bus tour?

A financial reason.

So I think, well, we worked, we did the math.

And also, there's just something nice about not having to take all these little flights.

And it's after the environment, you're checking into different hotels.

I kind of like the idea of just having all my stuff on the, all my products on the bus, all my clear mascara you know get settled in i'm hoping the bus driver is a nice friendly person so you're saying it's cheaper for you to take a bus yes than to fly essentially yeah

yeah and i i did that i went on tour with sarah silverman years ago and um did the bus tour How was that?

Just the two of you on the bus?

Well, she, and it was also Todd Glass.

Oh, fun.

And her manager.

And then also her tour manager is

the woman Jessica, who is the producer of Come See Me in the Good Light.

And so I met Jessica on that tour with Sarah.

And

turns out she was a producer, documentary producer.

And so we've just kept in touch over the years loosely.

We had such a nice time.

Was it nice on the bus?

Because I might bring an opening act or, like, have, yeah, have a tour manager on the bus.

I mean, it was nice in that, you know, I was with fun people and friends.

And, like, I slept in bed with Sarah, like in the big bed in the back.

And, you know, I wasn't like in a bunk bed or anything.

I slept with her.

And you didn't feel claustrophobic.

Like, it, it was good to just get off stage and then go.

Yeah, I don't really have huge memories of it other than like,

you know, it, I think it must have been a good enough time.

I don't have a single bad memory.

So

that's what I'm going on.

And then it was also funny because I recorded my album in Bloomington, Indiana.

And Sarah's big tour bus pulled up to,

I recorded my album in a recording studio.

Oh, wow.

Oh, what?

Yeah.

But with an audience.

With an audience.

They all came and sat on the floor.

It was a tiny audience because my record label, Secretly Canadian, they're an indie rock label.

And I'm their one comedian.

And so they were like,

when you come through Bloomington, which is where they're located, they have

Boni Verre and all sorts of cool artists and stuff.

But anyway, they were like,

come by the studio and we'll fill it up with some friends and locals and they'll all just be sitting on the floor in the recording studio and we'll get really great sound quality.

And so Sarah introduces me on that album.

And it's because we were on tour on the bus.

That's a cool Beatles-y vibe.

People sitting on the floor of a studio.

And like, yeah.

Have you done a bus tour of Fortune?

No, I don't think I ever will.

Coming in strong.

I mean, I, because I think because

I am such a homebody,

I don't like being gone more than like 10 days

without having some kind of like bass,

home base.

So I don't know.

I kind of like doing the like go out for three or four days, come back.

Right.

And I don't mind stretching that over a year and a half.

But every, I mean, and every tour I do is 150 shows in 100 cities.

You can't be

a lot of bus.

Yeah.

Oh, my God.

If I got on the bus and I got buckled in, you don't buckle, I guess, but I got in and then the bus driver turned around and it was Thomas.

I was trying to think of someone that would be funny if it was them.

I would be so happy if it was Thomas.

Buckle up, little cowboy.

Then wait, is that your Thomas impression?

I guess it was.

That was terrible.

I didn't really mean.

Was it Australian?

Buckle up, little cowboy.

My Thomas impression might sound a bit like my hyperglass.

Let's hear it.

I'd be like, hey, bae, we're going on tour.

I don't know why I made it nasal.

All right, take you try.

Well, I'll do the impression.

Thomas doesn't know this, but Stephanie and I do an impression of Thomas.

Hey, let's hear it.

But only for this one thing in our life.

Okay.

Because when Thomas was our assistant, anytime, and this was how we ate too, was like if we had leftover, mainly leftovers from Max and Finn,

you know, Thomas, when you say when you were at the house, we'd be like, oh, there's half of this thing.

Do you want it?

Yeah, I would get offered a lot of leftovers.

Yes.

But Thomas, like if you ask Thomas,

you know, hey, Thomas, do you want the rest of these noodles?

He'd go, yes, please.

Thomas, can you hear that that is?

Yeah, that's.

That's yes, please.

Yeah, so whenever we offer each other mainly food, but it could be anywhere else, we'll say, yes, please.

Oh, I love that.

So that's my Thomas impression.

Yes, please.

That's funny that people in your life

might have impersonations of you you don't know about from some moment that you like I wonder oh my friend told me last night really calmly in front of a bunch of people who then colluded that my walk looks like in footage of uh Bigfoot when they catch Bigfoot

walking fast

it does for sure

everyone knows it

with like straight legs straight kind of stiff, and just the way Bigfoot like strides across the camera.

That's a good stride, though.

Yeah, I think it's not bad.

It's walking with purpose.

Yeah.

And a little guilty looking always.

I've wanted to make a list of all the...

Oh, sorry.

And we got nothing.

And we got nothing.

I've wanted to make a list of all the different little sayings that we have in our family because you know how every family or group of friends, you have those little lines.

Yeah.

Like the, yes, please.

Yeah.

What's what?

I'm trying to think of some from mine all come out when we're playing poker as a family.

If someone hasn't put their blinds in, my mom says some cunts light.

Sorry.

She says what?

It's listen, we're a British family, so it's not as it's not that.

But I didn't hear what you said.

She says some cunts light.

And she's been saying that since I was about 10.

Sorry.

I didn't realize that's what you said either.

Oh, you didn't?

Okay.

Then I repeated it.

Say it again.

I can't.

Because British people love that word.

They love it.

Do you like that word?

I only say it with a British accent.

Yeah.

Can't.

We're all so sheepish.

Well, once you're here.

Could you hear my British accent?

Fortune's just a pretty little lady.

She's so shy to say it.

My mom always says that she knew she had too much road rage because I was in the back seat, I was two, and she was driving and someone cut her off and she went, you fucking, and then I in the back seat went, cunt?

Anyway, sorry, sorry, guys.

But it's not as, but in, but over there, over across the pond, it's not, it doesn't have the clutching the pearls thing that we have with that word here.

It's a term of endearment.

Yeah, everyone says it there.

Yeah.

Did you have any sayings in your family?

Me?

Yeah.

I don't think so.

Because I grew up with two brothers and they weren't very whimsical, you know?

Right.

So everything was very.

Oh, my mom had a thing.

It's not really a saying, but it was her little phrase that whenever we went to school or

she would send us off by saying, happy day.

Oh, happy day is nice.

So that I guess that would count as one of those things.

Happy day, that's a good stand-up special title.

Happy day.

Happy day.

Oh, happy day.

Oh, happy day.

Oh, happy day

when Jesus was.

When Jesus was

brushed our sins away.

Oh, my Lord.

Exactly.

Yes.

Oh my gosh, you guys.

We have so many sayings in my current immediate family that are, that's where it came from.

Where I'm like, oh, I'd love to make a list because we have so

Stephanie and I say so many little things to each other

all the time.

Even my ex,

who is now married to this guy named Jeff, we were with them one time, and my ex was talking about something, and he pushed back about whatever she was saying.

And she said,

No, you know, I can't do that.

And

that would never happen.

And you know that, Jeff.

And

so to this day,

anytime that there's a moment that we can sneak that in, you know, it's like Stephanie will be like,

Yeah, she'll be like,

She'll be like, Can you, can you get, see if that cooler will fit in the back of the car?

And I'm like, Stephanie, it doesn't fit back there.

And you know that, Jeff.

Oh, it looks really good.

It'll constantly, we say, and you know that, Jeff.

Yeah, we're the queens of callbacks is what it is.

Yes.

Yes.

You guys are queens of callbacks.

Constantly doing callbacks.

It's so, so fun.

And when we were shooting One Mississippi, you know, the director, Nicole Holliff Center,

she

worked a lot on One Mississippi.

and she, we were going somewhere on location.

We were in the

van,

and I don't know who said what, but Nicole misunderstood it.

And she was facing forward on the bus, and she just turned around and was like, We have to go back.

And we were like, No, nobody said we had to go back because we had been driving for like an hour or whatever someplace.

And she's like, We have to go back.

And so now, when

any time something like that comes up,

okay,

we're going to miss it.

So let's just go back.

We have to go back.

I like it.

I love all the fun little callbacks, but you're right, Fortune.

That's what it is.

I love it.

I love you too.

Oh.

We all just want to be loved.

Is that so wrong?

Do you remember that John Lovitt's character?

No.

I just want to be loved.

Is that so wrong?

That actually leads us into our question pretty well.

It sure does.

Should we get to our question?

Yeah, let's do it.

Well, today's question asker is an Emmy-nominated actor best known for playing Oscar on The Office.

He reprises the role in the new spin-off series, The Paper.

He's also appeared in shows like Lucky Hank, Mr.

Iglesias, and People of Earth.

Oscar Nunez is asking today's question.

Hi, Handsome.

It's Oscar Nunez from The Office Office and a new show called The Paper.

And I love your show.

Tig,

I want to say that I taught you everything you know, but I can't because it's not true.

But I want to say it.

Fortune, hi.

Hi, May.

You guys, here's my question.

Okay.

Pick your top five

cast members from SNL, from all time, top five improv group you would have.

And

good luck.

Good luck to all of us.

Thank you for wishing us luck, Oscar.

Oh, Oscar's so sweet.

So sweet.

So funny.

Such a kind man.

Yeah.

Oh, my gosh.

When Max and Finn were tiny, we went over to his house and his daughter was so sweet.

The way she took care of them.

It just like will never, ever leave my mind.

I mean, he and his wife are also wonderful, but man, his daughter.

It's one of those moments where you're like, I want my kids to be like that.

Yeah, I love that.

That's sweet.

I can't believe they have another office spin-off.

I know.

Apparently, it's really great.

It's getting amazing earlier.

Oh, yeah, that's great.

We need another one.

Because the American one was the

from the British one.

I mean, the take on the British, the American version of the British version.

Right, right, right.

Okay.

I know, because I feel like everybody, you know, it's such a cultural

thing.

The SNL is just like a part, you know.

I don't know how it is for the young people now if they pay attention to it like we did, but I feel like when I was growing up, everyone kind of had their SNL cast, like, this is who,

you know, people watched, and like, nothing was ever as good as the cast that you grew up on.

Yeah.

Now I feel like people watch like the clips on Instagram and stuff, but it's different.

Like when I was growing up, like, you would sit on Saturday night and watch the whole show, but now people just watch like the Instagram highlights.

Right.

I know when I was obsessed with it, I think I started paying attention to,

I didn't watch the early days, like the Chevy Chase and Gilda Radner days.

Those were before my time.

I came on as a big fan of the show in the Adam Sandler era

and Chris Farley era.

And I was so obsessed with it.

I would

watch it religiously live on Saturday night.

I would tape it in my VCR and then study it throughout the week.

Study it.

Little notepad and pen.

And ironically, I'm

open for Sandler.

I was just with him this past weekend.

How was that?

So fun.

He does these big huge arena shows, like 14,000 people.

you know, people dress up as all the characters he's played in movies and on SNL.

And they're so passionate about him and know him from so many different things.

It's the best.

He's so lovely and nice.

And

it's such a treat, you know, such a even doing the show with Will.

It's like these people I grew up on, and it's so wild to me to be like doing things with them now.

But it's such a relief when they're so nice too.

I know.

And he is

Adam's like his stuff doesn't age because it's so silly that it's just evergreen, like his songs and things that he is doing these days.

And yeah, I only met him one time, but he was so nice backstage at Largo.

I'm Adam, nice to meet you.

That was really good.

Yeah, I was like, oh, I love you.

Thank God.

Yeah.

Yeah.

And I remember he put out a comedy album when I was in like eighth grade.

Yeah.

And I would listen to it over and over and over again.

But it was so ridiculous.

So I would say my early

two of my five would be Adam Sandler and Chris Farley

from those early days.

And I'll answer the other ones in a bit, but did y'all follow any of that cast?

Yeah.

I mean, that was a bit before my time.

So they wouldn't, I don't know.

Like you said, like you just get attached to your era.

So my five are all,

I think they're all women too.

My five are like the, are like Kristen Wig, Rachel Drach, Maya Rudolph, Anna Gastyer, and Molly Shannon.

Probably.

Those are like gods to me.

Those are amazing.

And Kristen Wig was a bit after when I stopped talking.

She came a little bit after, yeah.

Yeah.

Oh man.

Sherry O'Terry.

Yeah, my other ones would be Will Farrell, Molly Shannon, and Kristen Wigg.

So strong.

Molly and Will were at the cast, the era after Farley and Sandler, and then Kristen would be the era after Molly and

Will.

They all seemed to, that era, they all seemed to, I mean, probably not, but they all seemed to get along and have a good time as well.

And they seemed like

well, I heard, I heard that Will and Sherry O'Terry and a bunch of people in that era came from the Groundlings.

So there was a lot of camaraderie there.

So they like would play, do like improv warm-ups together and stuff.

So whereas earlier days it was kind of more a party vibe, like an edgier vibe,

they sort of brought it.

And then the Farley and Sandler days were kind of boys club.

Yeah.

More like kind of masculine.

Will and Molly and Sherry's

era was like silly and

improvi,

goofy characters kind of thing.

Take, what about you?

Gilda was such a massive, massive part of my childhood, and I just adored her.

And

I also loved Chevy Chase.

my mother had such a crush on chevy chase really oh my god loved him and you know how i think everyone's bisexual or i can't flippantly say that then when i meet straight women who are like chevy chase is my guy and i'm like some people are straight you know

yeah yeah but he was i mean when he was young like i just i i can see the but my mother also thought she was also in love with david letterman right you know like she just she was like oh he's so cute.

And I think she just thought they were so funny, obviously.

Not that they're unattractive people, but I just, you know.

Yeah.

So Gilda Radner, Chevy Chase, Martin Short.

I love him so deeply.

Yeah.

This is probably a little

bit of a curveball in that she's not as well known.

Laura Keitlinger.

Oh, I see.

Googling.

Do you, you know, her fortune?

Uh-huh.

I just love how dry

and dark

this woman is.

She was one of my favorite stand-ups.

I just, I love her so, so much.

She had a book called Quick Shots of False Hope.

And it's funny because the cover of the book, she's leaning to the side.

And she was like, yeah, I did that to get out of the way of the half-off stickers.

That's funny.

She's just, she's so funny.

And

I've seen so many clips.

My brother was so into

Chris Farley.

And

he made his way into my

whatever awareness of SNL to some degree in a way that I just, I,

yeah, I just, I know more about him, I would say,

than other more recent more

beyond the first season,

yeah, you know.

But you guys must have been to like

SNL after parties and stuff, right?

Yeah, you have both of you?

Gosh, really?

I've never been in, I know that's like the golden era might, like, maybe it's not as cool anymore, but I would like to go to an SNL after party.

It's just a little different than what you might imagine.

Like when you think of an SNL after party, you think of like

just this big grand party with all these

people

just chatting with each other and drinking.

But they pick a restaurant and that restaurant stays open for them.

And all the cast have their own table.

There's a different restaurant every week.

A different restaurant every Saturday.

Huh.

And they just nothing's provided or paid for because, you know, they do it.

every week for decades so that would be pretty pricey right um and everyone just goes to their own table and chats with their friends.

Oh, wait a second.

Yeah, I was picturing.

And then occasionally they'll get up and mingle, but it's kind of everyone's just like at their own table.

It's cool because, like, you're like, oh, I went, but it's a little, it's just different than what you would kind of assume.

For sure.

I mean, in the, in the golden era, I bet it was like people doing karaoke.

I mean, back in the gilded days, they probably partied and like

that vibe now.

Yeah, it's just like chatting and having a cocktail, if that.

And not everyone goes from the cast.

They're tired.

People are a lot more aware of self-care now.

Yeah, for sure.

Yeah.

I tested twice for the show.

I remember you saying, yeah.

Did you send in a tape or you went in and my first one was a tape and then the second one they saw me at the Groundlings.

And it just was like such a dream of mine.

But even to like just walk the hall and to like be on that, perform on that stage.

And because a lot of the people that have worked there for decades, you know, you're meeting these people that, you know, did costumes and makeup for all of these

huge people.

Yeah.

They have the guys behind the camera.

Some of them have been there for 30 years.

It just, it's such an institution.

And

I just thought, man, this is like that.

I just wanted it so bad because it was such a part of my childhood.

And

I just was so obsessed with the show that you think it's like the end-all-be-all.

Yep.

Would you still want it now if you could have it?

No, I make way too much money.

They get paid nothing.

Is that right?

Is it

really?

The pay is so low.

Can you sign away the right to your material?

It's going to be a huge step back now.

I mean, it's obviously a coveted thing but it's just

it would have been amazing you know 12 years ago

but now i would

be like i would lose so much money doing that show

right

anyway that sounds

weird to say but i'm only saying it because they get paid so little Yeah, famously.

They get paid very little.

I'm not saying like, oh, I'm a gazillionaire.

I'm just saying it's.

I heard I'm a gazillionaire in there.

Yeah, that's what I heard.

But it would be, yeah, it's such a cool thing for any.

It's a young person's place, you know?

It's like that's the job you want when you're in your late 20s, early 30s.

Well, should we hear what Oscar has to say?

Yeah, because was there any crossover of our answers?

But we said Molly Shannon.

We had a couple.

Tig and I both said Farley.

You and I both said Molly and Chris and Wig.

Yeah.

I used to memorize Molly's Mary Catherine Gallagher.

Oh, man.

Yes.

I do it at school.

And my first time ever doing anything on stage was at my senior,

the senior day I played Mary Catherine Gallagher on stage.

Nice.

Smelled my armpits and everything.

And how to smell.

That's what she did.

Good question.

When she gets nervous, she puts her hands on her arms like this, and then she smells them.

Yeah.

Well done.

Those were the correct answers.

Fortune Marie.

I just wanted to say that.

Here are my five picks in no particular order.

Maya Rudolph, Kristen Wake, Kate McKinnon, Will Farrell.

And the fifth one, Handsome, gets to pick, but you have to pick from these three guys.

Will Forte, Fred Armison, or Bill Hayter.

I love handsome.

Yeah.

Bye.

Those are three solid ones, too.

I would say Bill Hayter of that

group

because Stefan is one of my favorite SNL characters of all time.

Yeah.

Fred and Will Forte are so great too.

That's really, I'm going to go

red on SNL because I'm remembering lots of amazing.

But yeah, Bill Hayter, yeah, I see.

Well, and Fred's very music forward, so he always gets one character.

Like, oh, Dios Mio.

but then like Tina Faye and Amy Poehler at the news desk was iconic, yeah, they didn't make it onto our list.

That's crazy.

Well, you know, 50 years, they just celebrated their 50 years of SNL.

That's uh hard to narrow down.

That is crazy, 50 years.

And I'm gonna go with Will Forte.

You got our bases covered just because you love Magruber,

me and Magruver, man.

Man, do I love Magruber?

Well, thanks for the question, Oscar.

I ran into Oscar, I think it was at the airport, and he was boarding a flight, and he was listening to my old podcast, Don't Ask Tig.

No,

I cannot believe that he listens to our podcast.

Oh, that's so nice.

Yeah.

It is a trip to see people.

I have passed by people, like if I've been out walking, and they're like, I know this is crazy, but I just have to show you.

And they'll show me their phone, and they're listening to handsome.

Yeah.

And that's always such a trip.

Or in Lake Arrowhead, there was a woman who was like, I was just listening to you talking about how you're in Lake Arrowhead.

And like, and then there I went walking through her small town.

Yeah.

That trip that you love so much that you came home a week early from?

I did.

Did you get your stir home?

We never asked.

Did you end up going back up there?

I did not come home a week early.

I came back for like one day and then I went.

Oh, you did go back.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Because

we never caught up with you on that.

We never closed that circle.

Let's close it now.

I was there for like 93% of the allotted time, and

I would do it again.

Did you invite anyone else up there for a romantic hot dog dinner?

Wouldn't you like to know?

No, I was.

No, I was.

No.

We had a lot of people weighing in on that hot dog dinner.

Oh, yeah.

People were outraged.

Yeah.

Oh, the things people get outraged about.

I mean, people were not, people like, were delighted and confused by my list of things that I brought, but then a lot of other people being like, this is so wasteful.

This is, this is capitalism.

And like,

yeah.

So I don't know.

Yeah.

It's

you can't take it in.

You got to just be aware of it and try, you know, we're all trying to be good.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

There's bigger stuff to get upset about.

Do you guys do you read reviews?

Like, I'm just well, by the time this comes out, I guess some reviews will have come out of my show, and I really just hate it so much, the review part.

And then my friend always says,

You know, well, Godfather 2 got one star from Siskel and Ebert or something like that.

Is your friend Ira Glass?

Yeah, it's Thomas, actually.

Well, you know,

I'll read reviews.

What I don't get into, though, is comments online.

Oh, it's a garbage fire.

Yeah, like that kind of thing.

I'm just not.

I mean, of course, it's hard to not take in a comment here or there, but I don't, I'm not interested in

it's not that I'm not

interested in what people have to say, but like I that's why like with the the premiere and saying it felt like like my wedding and stuff.

I was like, oh yeah, I forgot that it's not about this.

Like, I was so excited for that moment to celebrate it and everything.

And then I was like, no, of course this is stressful and you're and still work and you're managing everybody's,

you know, and like it is the process of making it.

That's the best part.

Yes, for sure.

Yeah.

And

just connecting with people on set.

And,

um, but I'm, I'm definitely interested.

I find I'm so curious about insights that people have about a show in a review, you know,

where I'm like, oh, yeah, we miss that.

Or that would have been an interesting

thing to

add.

But, you know, sometimes, or like things like Reddit, like

that doesn't interest me, you know?

But a reviewer, I don't know.

I'm not opposed to

reading that.

Listen, if it's good, I'm reading it.

If it's bad, I'm like, they don't know what they're talking about.

Do you feel that way?

Do you feel or do you ever feel like oh, because I've read bad reviews about myself and been like,

yeah,

that's fair, touche, yeah,

of course, of course,

yeah.

What's also tricky when you also created it and are starring in it, it's like

even more invested in a way that, you know, just being an actor is not.

Do you read reviews, though, Fortune?

Like

when a stand-out special comes out of it?

Don has been like, a lot of the stuff I've done is like light, broad comedies, you know?

So it's more just like, oh, that movie wasn't funny.

And you're like, okay.

Right.

You know, it's not like some

drama where.

your

true this big actory side has to come out.

Yeah.

So, like, yeah, if I've seen reviews, and it's been like they're either into it or they're not, you just kind of go, okay.

Yeah.

Yeah.

It's funny because

being in this industry,

I mean, for myself, you get so used to being critiqued and instant feedback from people laughing or not.

And I don't know, for me, it's, I feel like in a positive way has hardened me.

Right.

In that, like, I just, I'm like, yeah, I'm not for everyone.

Or, yeah, you don't get my delivery.

Right.

Yeah.

Because people

really, really can get destroyed

by that kind of thing,

which is understandable.

Yeah.

But I feel like it has sent me in

a direction of like, yeah.

Well, it's kind of like every time you get on stage, it's like

a sort of self-esteem firing squad where you're standing there.

And then if you survive that over and over again, you're like, okay, it's gonna be all right.

Like, I'm still gonna

has it hardened you in a good way, or

yeah, a little bit, uh-huh, maybe.

Yeah, I don't know.

I'm feeling anxious about it this time around just because it's a different genre, and like, I feel like people then review within the genre, they're like, Is this yeah, so I hope people just

like let it wash over them and

think of it like a new thing.

I don't know, but yeah, yeah, I'm I'll yeah, it's all it's all good.

It's gonna be great.

It's one of those things, too, with Netflix.

It's like reviews are kind of subjective.

And

it'll, you know, I think a lot of people are gonna watch it, and that's how they

met.

Yeah.

Yeah, that's where they really lay their

importance on is

the viewership.

So the handsome folks come out and support May and watch Wayward.

Like in our job, it is crazy that so you have to keep making stuff,

you know, that's very exposing.

You got, you know, vulnerable personal stuff that you're like, I think this is worth putting out there.

And then you always kind of know, like, if I do one thing that's panned, like one thing that's actually objectively bad, I might not get another thing after that.

Like, you hope that you put in enough years that it's like, oh, you know,

I'll give May another whirl.

Yeah, yeah.

But it is, I don't think it's going to be panned, but you know what I mean?

It's like,

yeah,

you have no idea what is coming.

No, no, it could be the biggest sensation.

That's right.

And we'll never hear from you again.

You'll be one of those people that's like, yeah, yeah, things are going good.

My show's on top.

I'm busy.

I'm important.

And I don't need you no more.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I'm only taking Waymo cars now.

Whoa.

May takes, hear me out.

Waymo cars.

My friend is in town from Colorado, and

she's never seen or heard of a Waymo car because it's only in four cities, I think, in the States.

Is that right?

Jimmy Kimmel did a bit on his show where he picked up his,

I think it was his mom or had a Waymo pick her up.

And

he just like called her.

It was like, oh, I can't come, but I had a driver come get you.

And she gets in and the door's locked and it starts going and she realizes that no one is driving it and they have cameras in the car and watching her go oh my god oh my call jimmy call jimmy oh my god freaking out and it shows him like watching it's so funny that's great

he did that what on his talk show uh-huh that's great yeah because if you don't know about these and you get in and a car starts driving itself that would be wild well that's what it's i said to my friend i was like it said something casually about how there was no driver.

And she's like, what do you mean there's no driver?

There is zero driver in that car.

That's what I mean.

And she's pretty low.

We went full circle back to Waymo.

Back to Waymo.

See, that's why this, what a podcast.

I call that queen.

Exactly.

We have to go back.

We have to call back.
