Speaker 11 The lonely Ivan and Seth Meyers Podcast show.

Speaker 15 So, hi everybody. Welcome to the podcast.
We've just completed a group rewatch of Everyone's a Critic, and there's a lot to unpack.

Speaker 9 Fucking hell. A lot going on there.

Speaker 15 A lot of laughs.

Speaker 16 I laughed way more than I was expecting re-watching that.

Speaker 17 I'd forgotten a lot of things.

Speaker 15 That's the second time I've watched it today, and I laughed a lot. I mean, I laughed more watching you guys re-watch it probably for the first time in 15 years.

Speaker 19 Yeah.

Speaker 20 I was surprised. It had a lot of surprises for me.

Speaker 22 It took its time.

Speaker 15 One of the most surprising things is length. It might be one of the longest digital shorts.

Speaker 13 Yeah, the beginning.

Speaker 23 It had a nice, leisurely pace that I didn't mind.

Speaker 15 Yeah, not rushing it, almost four minutes long.

Speaker 15 And first of all, there is a warning at the beginning of the video that caught us. Yeah, now that caught us all by surprise, but of course makes perfect sense once you watch it.

Speaker 16 Yeah, once we watch it, I was like, yes, of course, now that would be there.

Speaker 15 But it was very helpful to put it on. And there is a warning saying that there are scenes of people committing self-harm.

Speaker 25 Yeah.

Speaker 15 Because I had completely forgotten, of course, where it was going. And that is an appropriate warning to have at the beginning of this.
So, should we just talk it through from the top?

Speaker 27 Sure.

Speaker 28 How do you guys want to go about it?

Speaker 6 Yeah, let's do it.

Speaker 22 I was impressed at the length of the top. It was really taking its sweet time in a very leisurely way.

Speaker 15 Do you remember what gave you the idea? Because it seems like it's a bunch of ideas at once.

Speaker 16 I think maybe, correct me if I'm wrong, gentlemen, I had a note written down in my like ideas notes that was just, may I paint you?

Speaker 22 Yeah, yeah. Based on Titanic?

Speaker 29 Was it, wasn't it?

Speaker 16 Yeah, like the Titanic moment, but being, you know, we were already friendly with Rudd and knowing that he had done all that Stella stuff and would like that tone.

Speaker 16 And being like, that's a good start for something is me going into his dressing room and being like, May I paint you? And then cutting to the Titanic shop. And then that was all we had.

Speaker 16 And I think then we just started pitching on weird things that could happen with it and it evolved.

Speaker 10 That sounds right. Yeah.

Speaker 22 I can't remember when that song was developed because after you guys started painting each other, then to get in the mood of painting, we put on a song. Andy puts it on first.

Speaker 16 It had to be before

Speaker 16 we shot.

Speaker 5 It was. We knew we were going to do it.

Speaker 20 But I feel like that was a type of singing.

Speaker 32 I'm going to give you the most credit for it, Yorm.

Speaker 32 And then I would join in with you.

Speaker 4 But I think it's a type of singing you had been doing for a long time.

Speaker 18 Oh, the type of singing, yes.

Speaker 34 But I will say, to give you credit, Keeve, because

Speaker 22 we had this shitty series of web clip, it was called Web Clip Empire, a series of C Ds.

Speaker 15 I like that we're talking about it, like that type of singing.

Speaker 4 Yeah, like it exists.

Speaker 15 You know, Yorm was the first person to do it like there's ever been a second person.

Speaker 28 No, everyone does it.

Speaker 16 His signature style that has been ripped off a billion times.

Speaker 15 Well, hey, hold on, let's wait till we get to the music to talk about that music.

Speaker 22 All right, sure. We don't want to rush this.

Speaker 15 So Andy walks in and says to Paul, may I paint you? It's very nice. It's very grounded.
It's very Titanic. We then see Andy painting a naked Paul.

Speaker 16 I get so self-conscious. Here.
Maybe a little music will help you relax. relax.

Speaker 9 Oh, I love this.

Speaker 11 Yeah.

Speaker 22 And it's me and Keeve doing it.

Speaker 20 A little spooky and a little surprised.

Speaker 8 Yeah.

Speaker 4 It was both of us. Me and Yorm in the office.

Speaker 36 I remember us very lovingly just around the mic going, oh,

Speaker 22 but Keeve, that is Webclip Empire, right?

Speaker 9 The music empire?

Speaker 37 It might be, or it might just be some library track.

Speaker 20 I'm not sure if it is.

Speaker 26 Yeah.

Speaker 22 Anyway, we use this one series of CDs a lot for shitty music.

Speaker 15 In my notes, while I was re-watching it, you are wrote, I hate it, love it so much.

Speaker 15 It was trying my patience in the best possible way.

Speaker 22 Can I say something about that? Because you guys all complimenting me. I'll put that in the compliment column of that kind of singing.

Speaker 22 John Solomon, at one point, found there was a group of scientists who tried to make the worst song in the world. And it's called The Worst Music.
I can't remember what it was.

Speaker 22 It's a 20-something plus-minute song. and every part of it sounds exactly like something I would make.

Speaker 22 And he was just like, Oh my god, this is exactly like that, has high-pitched, like, yo-yo, like, it has rapping and yodeling, and it's just it's fucking, yeah, anyway, it is good, I've heard it.

Speaker 22 It spoke to you, it spoke to me, yeah.

Speaker 16 Uh, I believe, Keeve and Yorm, that we maybe wrote into into the script, it's like a terrible song.

Speaker 16 And then we shot it because I, my recollection now is when I first saw the first edit was the first time I heard what you guys had made and laughing so.

Speaker 22 I think that's how I remember it happening too.

Speaker 39 Yeah, I think you recorded it after we shot.

Speaker 22 As a fun thing for Andy to hear.

Speaker 15 Now, it is doubly funny to know that Paul and Andy can't hear that song when you go back and watch it.

Speaker 8 Yeah, we just had faith.

Speaker 15 Because it almost feels as though a crime has been committed against you.

Speaker 22 In the edit, a crime was committed.

Speaker 15 The only way to get anybody to groove to the song you made is not to play it until it's too late.

Speaker 15 You paint Paul, and then Paul says, may I paint you? A very nice move. We see you and your t-shirt is on, so we think you might be dressed, but then

Speaker 15 you are not wearing pants.

Speaker 37 Yes, correct.

Speaker 20 The camera just caresses your leg hair.

Speaker 9 Yeah.

Speaker 15 Yeah. Long shot.

Speaker 22 It's caressing body, thinking you're not going to see a full-on genitalia shot. Blurred, of course, and then it's right there for you again.

Speaker 4 Just the same one twice in a row.

Speaker 16 But I would say the second shot is a tasteful length. Yeah.
Sure. Yeah.
Pun very much intended.

Speaker 15 Then you go look at Paul's painting and you say, I think we can sell this. And then we cut to an art auction.
Fred as the auctioneer. Abby Elliott as his assistant.

Speaker 16 Can I rewind?

Speaker 10 Yeah.

Speaker 26 Isn't that cool?

Speaker 16 What if I didn't have anything to say? I just wanted to make that sound.

Speaker 16 The moment when he's painting me and he says, how about some music? And he turns it on. And I go, oh, I love this song.

Speaker 39 Thinking that maybe now we didn't know what the music was going to be, it does make sense that our plan was that it would be a different song, the way I say it.

Speaker 35 It definitely does.

Speaker 41 I'm sure it was going to be. I'm sure it was going to be.

Speaker 16 But instead, it's me saying, oh, I love this song about the same song that I just told him was me singing is so crazy.

Speaker 15 Yeah. And I like it a lot.

Speaker 22 But it's also that you guys are so committed to playing this very straight too. Like it feels sort of supple.

Speaker 35 Yeah.

Speaker 35 Oh, yeah.

Speaker 9 It's a very supple piece.

Speaker 8 It's a very supple.

Speaker 15 That might have been the only way. It would have been very hard to keep a straight face if that music had been playing for your very grounded performance.

Speaker 16 I feel like me and Rudd are known for our stony disposition.

Speaker 15 You would have pulled it off.

Speaker 15 So you go to the art auction.

Speaker 7 I love your all white-on-white tuxes with tails.

Speaker 28 So dumb.

Speaker 16 I had forgotten that.

Speaker 31 Those are amazing outfits.

Speaker 15 What a dumb choice.

Speaker 16 Because it's a serious art event.

Speaker 15 But nobody else there is wearing it.

Speaker 9 No, they wouldn't dare.

Speaker 15 Immediately we realize you've maybe missed what this crowd likes.

Speaker 13 This is what they think people at Sotheby wear.

Speaker 15 Nobody else is dressed like you. Neither of you clock at all that it's a problem or that you're overdressed.

Speaker 17 Def not.

Speaker 15 You still have total confidence that you're about to crush it.

Speaker 16 Do we wonder if the white Tuxes is reverse engineered because we wanted there to be something that the blood showed up really well on?

Speaker 22 1,000%.

Speaker 4 There's no wonder about that. Yeah.

Speaker 13 The minute you guys show up, I'm like, oh, wow, blood's going to look great on this.

Speaker 4 Fred did such a good job as the auctioneer, and I loved the dialogue that we even wrote for him.

Speaker 21 It's perfectly whatever that is.

Speaker 20 But because you guys are yourselves, it's Andy, it's Paul Rudd. It starts in the dressing room.

Speaker 31 At that moment, this time watching, even though I thought Fred was great, I kind of wished we had just got all outside SNL actors so you guys were just in the real world.

Speaker 27 Because when he says a very exciting new artist, Paul Rudd, I kind of am like, oh, but that's not Fred.

Speaker 36 I wanted you guys to be in the real world at that moment.

Speaker 15 Yeah, yeah, I see what you mean.

Speaker 22 Oh, that's interesting. Yeah, the line, it takes a quiet bravery to bury one soul.

Speaker 8 That's what's making them all have that problem.

Speaker 16 I mean, Keeve, no one calls John Cusack John Cusack and being John Malkovich, and yet. Yeah,

Speaker 7 that's true. That's true.

Speaker 26 It's the same thing. Same thing.

Speaker 16 Same exact thing to the same level of success.

Speaker 22 I'm going to say something crazy to Andy, just like that. I think Spike Jones is an amazing director.

Speaker 9 Oh my God.

Speaker 16 I'm going to piggyback your craziness and agree.

Speaker 27 Yeah.

Speaker 4 Wow. This is continuing.

Speaker 7 Wow.

Speaker 8 A full week later.

Speaker 16 Yeah. Like for real, for real? No fucking lie.
I would work with any of those guys.

Speaker 15 Can I say to our listeners, here's how you know we recorded episodes back-to-back is when your makes a callback to a previous episode.

Speaker 15 That means a week has passed in the real world,

Speaker 15 but like only minutes have passed for memento.

Speaker 29 Minutes.

Speaker 9 We're stockpiling because Seth has a vacation.

Speaker 27 Oh my God, isn't they going on me?

Speaker 8 Is it not your fault, bitch?

Speaker 15 I'm in here every fucking day, whether you guys are here or not. Just waiting for the red light to go on.

Speaker 15 He just did a family trip and stockpiled oh my god by the way could we grab is anybody gone anywhere could we grab a quick family trips while i have

Speaker 15 as far as i'm concerned that podcast is the enemy i take podcasts seriously now you do you've gotten very serious about him all right so we reveal the art which we never see the painting no we we really held back i guess it's impossible to show it and then everybody starts to scream for a background actors Great work.

Speaker 40 Yeah. Yes.

Speaker 15 Like the first woman who screams does an exceptionally good job.

Speaker 16 And the timing of it is really perfect. I believe Keevin Yorm coached them very meticulously to be like, she screams and then everyone else starts screaming.

Speaker 16 It feels like it's from a movie in a good way.

Speaker 15 And we get a sense of how the painting might not be a great painting by the fact that everyone's eyes start to bleed.

Speaker 9 Yes.

Speaker 15 And then it gets pretty gory. This is the reason for the self-harm warning at the beginning of the short.

Speaker 15 Do you think it is inspired by the movie The Happening, which we've talked about, which is the Mark Wahlberg M.

Speaker 15 Night Shyamalan movie where, remember that movie was like the trees were making people kill themselves?

Speaker 22 Yeah, it was one of my favorites.

Speaker 4 Yeah, I don't know what's the timeline on it. Had it come out?

Speaker 15 It had come out because I think Andy had talked about that had inspired his Wahlberg impression a little bit, and that had already happened.

Speaker 22 I don't think so. I think that just when something is so bad, it makes stigmata eyes.

Speaker 16 I think it's one of many, Seth, which is like there's something that makes people just start taking their own lives because it's so horrific, or they're out of control of their own brains.

Speaker 15 I mean, again, it's full goriness, but we cut to Sadekis for some reason has an oven.

Speaker 15 He has a full oven in the auction house and he's crawling into it.

Speaker 15 There's a woman with a gun. There is Michaela Watkins as sort of an old Italian woman and you realize her reaction to it is that it's the Antichrist.

Speaker 15 I think when somebody starts speaking in Italian and cuts their own throat.

Speaker 16 Yep. Very convincing in the role.

Speaker 15 I mean, my favorite moment, hater and wig as Indiana Jones's Marion, tied to a stake and him screaming, don't look at it. I remember being really happy about getting that in.

Speaker 22 Yeah. I just love how quickly it happens too.

Speaker 34 It's like a third beat of craziness.

Speaker 15 Yeah, it's the third beat. It's not the last one.
It's the third one. And it's a really nice building of chaos.

Speaker 15 Also, Fred has just, there are people like, it was like white foam coming out of their mouths. Yeah.

Speaker 21 Yeah, it's not all intentional suicide.

Speaker 20 Sometimes it's just doing something to them.

Speaker 15 Also, there's one where I want to ask the shot of a woman opens her mouth and it's vomit or like it's like whatever white, and you can tell it's from behind her.

Speaker 15 It's not, she didn't have to do it, but it's a really good effect.

Speaker 22 Agreed, it's it's very good, and that woman did it quite well.

Speaker 41 Yeah, doesn't wear out its welcome either, too.

Speaker 16 It's right up there with like the perspective shots in Lord of the Rings, where they make Gandalf look super tall.

Speaker 15 Yeah, it's the same as that, but they're actually just in camera.

Speaker 5 Peter Jackson's another great director, would work with, yes, you'd work with, you'd be surprised to know.

Speaker 15 Okay, from now on, just to keep the podcast moving, if Jorm says a director, just just yell out work with or won't work with.

Speaker 13 Work with.

Speaker 15 This episode of the Lonely On the Podcast is brought to you by our friends at Makersmark, and I'm with some of my friends right now. Hi, guys.

Speaker 35 Hello. Hi.

Speaker 15 You know, Margie Samuels was a spirited woman. She was also the co-founder of Makersmark.
I don't have to tell you guys this stuff. No.

Speaker 22 No, we know it, but our listeners might not. So continue.

Speaker 15 All right. Well, in honor of Women's History Month, we wanted to toast some of the spirited women in our lives.

Speaker 22 That was my idea, actually. These guys were thinking about not doing it.
I was like, like, we should.

Speaker 15 Yeah. You are in many ways as trailblazing as Margie Samuels, Yorm.
And I often said that.

Speaker 22 Well, I kept saying, I want to mark this day with a maker's mark. And you guys kept saying, what does that mean? I was like, it means a toast, guys.

Speaker 15 Way to land the plane, buddy.

Speaker 35 Thank you.

Speaker 12 Thank you, Seth.

Speaker 15 I want to tell a story about a spirited woman I saw during the 50th. And I was a little bit lucky because I was there on Friday for some rehearsal action.

Speaker 15 And I got to watch the Close Encounters rehearsal with Kate McKinnon. And I feel it's the most I've ever watched an actor's process,

Speaker 11 guys.

Speaker 15 I'm going to wrap this up. You two can celebrate the spirit of women in your life with a free personalized label to go with the bottle of Makers Mark.

Speaker 15 Support comes from Rinse. What's up, Keeve?

Speaker 16 What's going on?

Speaker 15 You know,

Speaker 15 you were just telling me before we started recording, you can do everything on your phone these days.

Speaker 23 Yeah. Oh, my God.
These things are amazing. Have you used the phone yet?

Speaker 33 I have.

Speaker 15 I just got the phone and, you know, book a vacation, buy and trade stocks.

Speaker 15 But did you know, thanks to Rinse, Keeve, you can also make your dirty laundry disappear and then reappear, Keeve, like magic.

Speaker 36 That's key. I got scared.

Speaker 28 I got scared for a second.

Speaker 23 I was like, why would I was like, I picked out all that clothes and I couldn't pay for it.

Speaker 15 But good news. Perfectly washed and folded thanks to rinse.

Speaker 2 I remember back in my New York days, you know, at the times of this podcast, I did have the like, how do you do laundry?

Speaker 37 And there was a machine and I had, I was in a five-floor walk-up. I had to walk up and down five floors to get to the machine.
And then you're like, is someone going to steal my stuff?

Speaker 2 And this seems better.

Speaker 15 It's a lot better. Laundry clean and folded.
Dry cleaning pressed and returned on hangers. I know when I see my laundry folded, courtesy of the good people at Rinse, I don't know.

Speaker 15 I feel like a life hack has been accomplished. You know what I mean?

Speaker 4 Yeah, that's the kind of thing that makes you happy, Seth.

Speaker 15 Yeah, just folded clothes, Keith.

Speaker 37 It's so nice that we can know each other for this long, and then I kind of learn one of your little, I don't know, piccadillos.

Speaker 28 I don't know what you call it.

Speaker 26 One of your little

Speaker 23 something that makes you put a smile on your face.

Speaker 3 It's nice because I know I can, you know, maybe tell your wife, like, hey, Valentine's Day is coming up.

Speaker 21 I know something that puts a smile on Seth's face.

Speaker 15 Fold it up. Hey, I have bad news, Keeve, though.
They don't do dry cleaning.

Speaker 33 Okay.

Speaker 15 No, that was a bit. I was pulling the rug out for money.
They do do dry cleaning.

Speaker 5 Oh my gosh. I was just being polite.
I said, okay, but I was like, geez, you're going to sponsor.

Speaker 2 What are we sponsoring? Yeah.

Speaker 8 I was gutted.

Speaker 2 Oh, this one is a roller coaster.

Speaker 1 I got to tell you. First, I think that the stuff's all going to disappear.

Speaker 32 Now I'm worried about no dry cleaning.

Speaker 15 Now it's all good news. No more back and forth, no more zigging zagging.
You can sign up at rinse.com, get $20 off your first order. That is r-in-s-e.com.

Speaker 15 So, oh also our white tuxedos which it turns out uh you've only been wearing because they are easels for blood

Speaker 15 really good i mean how many now my here's a very important question how many of those tuxes did you have keith because if you miss one of those one and then one really because they were every time was really as good as you could have asked we just went for it we're professionals this was back when pre-tapes were insisted upon and underfunded and did you practice that what the splatter would look like on like white paper before you brought in the Tuxes?

Speaker 4 I don't think we were going that slow.

Speaker 26 Wow.

Speaker 5 You talking about the chaos, kids?

Speaker 4 My favorite part of that whole sequence is all the pan, the whip pans back to you guys. Yeah.

Speaker 21 Every time it lands back on you guys with your faces kind of like,

Speaker 33 this isn't going well, but I don't want to like freak out.

Speaker 4 I'm just going to kind of like, this is uncomfortable for us.

Speaker 16 Maybe, maybe there's still one person who will buy it.

Speaker 33 Yeah, yeah, exactly.

Speaker 15 But then there's a really lovely thing because this in the end is a sketch about supportive friends.

Speaker 45 You think,

Speaker 15 because Andy, you let Paul know that even though his art has led to multiple people taking their own lives, your reaction to him is to say everyone's a critic with sort of a smile on your face.

Speaker 16 Everyone's a critic.

Speaker 3 Hard cut.

Speaker 15 Now you guys are doing publicity for a movie called Everyone's a Critic.

Speaker 13 That you just watched.

Speaker 4 Yeah, this was all just a movie.

Speaker 15 Yeah, everything we've seen is a movie. It's a very long clip to show.

Speaker 4 Yeah, we don't know what Casey Wilson's little junket.

Speaker 15 It seems to me you've shown the entirety of the film to her.

Speaker 4 Shows what you know, but yeah.

Speaker 10 Yeah.

Speaker 15 So she's basically saying that that was a clip from the film, Everyone's a Critic. And you and again, a wonderful performance of the way people are late in a PR tour.

Speaker 33 Yeah, they're loose.

Speaker 15 If you watch it, this is one of those things that people in Showbiz know. You have to sit in a room like that all day in front of an easel that has the poster of your movie.

Speaker 15 And where Casey sits, she's the 100th reporter that has come in to shoot this.

Speaker 45 Yeah.

Speaker 15 That was a clip from Everyone's a Critic, starring Paul Rudd and Andy Sandberg. Now, guys, I understand you brought a little surprise with you.
We did, actually.

Speaker 32 Yeah, I don't know if you remember the painting from the film, but

Speaker 22 she bleeds out of her eyes and then dies.

Speaker 15 Who was were you the boom guy in this one, Jorm? Was that you?

Speaker 35 Oh, yeah, that's a recurring role now.

Speaker 7 The barfing boom guy.

Speaker 17 I fall through barfing.

Speaker 27 So you've barfed in like two...

Speaker 15 you've been a barfing boom guy twice in a month.

Speaker 22 I reprised my role as barfing boom guy.

Speaker 4 So whatever you call this nesting doll thing or whatever, where a thing inside a thing, there was another thing.

Speaker 16 There was. There's a fourth beat, and I'm trying to remember what it was.

Speaker 22 I'm so bummed that we cut it out because it did make me laugh.

Speaker 4 I can't remember what it was, but it pulled out again from the junket and there was a different thing happening.

Speaker 15 Oh, so all right. So right now, we think there might be a lost fourth beat.
We have sent sent Kevin Miller to the files, to the archives, to see if he can find Everyone's a Critic from Dress.

Speaker 22 Can we guess what it was, though? Because I feel like it was another junket.

Speaker 26 Like it was another film.

Speaker 7 I thought maybe it was a news report or something, but it just didn't.

Speaker 21 I remember it being like the reveal being halfway as exciting as the first reveal.

Speaker 4 So it just felt like it wasn't getting bigger.

Speaker 15 And at no point has there been diminishing returns in this short. Yes.
So I would understand you guys cutting a beat if it was only clever but less funny.

Speaker 16 I think after it aired, it felt to me similar to Seth's all-time favorite, Wish It Would Rain, where we cut a bunch after dress and we're like, you know what?

Speaker 16 Maybe the point of that was that it was annoyingly long.

Speaker 15 This is less annoying. I wish it would rain.
The point was that it was annoyingly long and you guys were cowards for cutting it.

Speaker 16 We've done cuts before that I was really happy about though, like Boombox, where we lifted a verse and a chorus and it felt like the exact right length for an SNL audience, you know? Yeah. Yes.

Speaker 16 And then this one, I don't know. I'd have to see it again to know.

Speaker 22 It tends to be, to me, like when it's not going to be fully successful that I'd, that I'd rather just be like, well, if it's making us laugh, then I feel like we should just have left alone.

Speaker 15 Now, though, let's not forget it was a hot show. There was a lot in it.

Speaker 25 Right.

Speaker 15 And so there was also probably you were doing a courtesy to the rest of your colleagues for making a cut.

Speaker 12 Yeah.

Speaker 15 Do you remember who the musical guest was, Andy? We're going to hopefully get that fourth beat, but I'm going to ask you a little about the show.

Speaker 16 Paul Rudd and Vampire Weekend.

Speaker 15 You were in a sketch with Paul Rudd and the musical guest.

Speaker 10 Oh.

Speaker 16 Well, no, not this time you hosted.

Speaker 15 Yeah, this time.

Speaker 9 Paul McCartney?

Speaker 10 Nope.

Speaker 16 Oh, that was the next time.

Speaker 10 Yeah.

Speaker 16 I was in a live sketch. Oh, Beyonce.

Speaker 15 Beyonce.

Speaker 16 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 15 And there was another cameo in that sketch.

Speaker 16 From Justin Timberlake.

Speaker 15 There you go. I mean, it was a single ladies video shoot, and the background background dancers were you and Bobby Moynihan and Timberlake.

Speaker 22 Oh, wow. That was this show, eh? That's fucking huge.

Speaker 15 That was

Speaker 13 Bobby's idea, right? It was Bobby's idea.

Speaker 28 It was. It was at the table read.

Speaker 15 Bobby is very funny in it, but here's how you know it was Bobby's idea. Bobby is a very new cast member in a sketch full of superstars.

Speaker 15 There's only one way that door is open. And by the way, he got what he deserved.
I'm not saying he like backdoor it, but like that's you're like, oh, that dude must have written it if he's in it.

Speaker 16 well when he wrote it it was just me and him right and in the video there's only two dancers with her yeah so it made sense but then somehow via higgins he was like i think justin's in town or justin's around and was like we're gonna ask him to be in this and then justin i think told a story in one of those documentaries that he was instrumental in convincing beyonce to do the sketch at all i remember that i'll vouch for that for him going in there yeah i remember going in there with him to talk to her about it uh and her being very sweet and leaving and not knowing if she was 100% down or not and then it happened gotcha I was very taken re-watching it how good she is in it

Speaker 16 and how she would be very good at this for the course of a whole episode as well for sure I also have said many times throughout my life since SNL that when people ask me who's like the most incredible music performance you ever saw while you were there.

Speaker 16 For me, it's her and Prince probably are the two.

Speaker 9 Yeah.

Speaker 16 In terms of like watching a person that no one else can do what they're doing physically and creatively at the same time. It was kind of mind-blowing watching her do Single Ladies Live.

Speaker 24 Agreed. We watched every rehearsal because we were just like, how is this happening?

Speaker 15 It feels like Single Ladies should have been the first song she did. It was the second song she did.

Speaker 21 I was surprised by that.

Speaker 20 It must have been a hit for a long time.

Speaker 32 And so she was trying to push a new one.

Speaker 15 I'm wondering if it's because of the sketch being the Single Ladies video, if there was a sense of like it would play better before or after.

Speaker 22 Oh, interesting.

Speaker 15 Kevin Kevin found everyone's a critic from dress, but it doesn't seem like there's any more beats, so you must have maybe made the cuts before dress.

Speaker 16 Oh, man.

Speaker 39 Can we ask Dina?

Speaker 15 Yeah, somebody reached out to Dina.

Speaker 22 Then it was definitely right. If we made the decision before dress, then it's definitely correct.

Speaker 32 Very final thing that aired on the night was a second one of the Noah Bohembach Armison Hayter little shorts.

Speaker 26 I don't remember those, are they?

Speaker 35 I can't remember what they were like at all.

Speaker 7 I just remember Noah being there and hanging out, but I don't remember what they actually filmed.

Speaker 15 This one was called No, No, No, and it was Rudd and Hayter talking about how Bill was now dating a woman that Rudd used to date, and then Fred comes in as someone who's currently dating it.

Speaker 15 And it's a lot of like, look, I hope you're not mad. It's like, no, no, no, no, no, no, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 25 Okay, okay, so you're cool with the fact that I'm seeing Tracy right now.

Speaker 10 Well, well, that's kind of weird.

Speaker 23 Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, it's totally, you know, it's cool.

Speaker 19 You guys aren't mad at me right now.

Speaker 23 No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,

Speaker 15 Beyonce video is, I think, from Anne Goldener.

Speaker 46 Mama, papa, mi corpo crece a unrimo alarmante, y la ropo que me compre nora, me que dora muy pe queña, muy pronto, pero su villetera no tiene que su frí por la moda cons presos vajos de la vuenta clas de amazon.

Speaker 46 Amazon, la tamenos sonriemas.

Speaker 15 A very iconic sketch. You would see it a lot in, I feel like, best of cut-up montages.
Yep. A lot of fun.

Speaker 15 Then, since Timberlake was there, Timberlake was on update and he did like a tour to forest where he did, This is me if I host.

Speaker 15 I didn't have time to host this year so here's two minutes of what I would do if I was hosting

Speaker 15 hey Thanksgiving is Thursday blah blah blue I'm bringing turkey back jokes

Speaker 15 left but I eat it for a snack Andy is Andy and Bill as backup dancers because they're not in anything else ha ha ha stick around we got a great show we'll be right back some ad parody that I'm not in then bring it on down to Turkeyville

Speaker 15 Commercial and good evening and welcome back to the Vincent Price Thanksgiving special with me and three other dead people. Of course, I'll play James Dean.
And straight into a digital short step one.

Speaker 8 You cut a hole in the turkey step two.

Speaker 15 And it was really a thing that maybe only four other SNL hosts ever could do.

Speaker 16 That's what I was about to say. It's such like rare air to be like, that's the bit because everyone's thinking it.

Speaker 15 Yeah. And also, there's like seven massive shifts in tone and energy that he just turns on a dime.
Yeah.

Speaker 15 And I do believe I scream at some point, take it to the bridge, like a girl in the front row at a Timberlake concert. Oh, there's a sketch from the Rudd show that,

Speaker 15 look, does it play? I wouldn't argue it played. It's called Songwriters Showcase.

Speaker 15 And I went back and re-watched it today because it's one of those titles where you're like, that sounds familiar, but like nothing about the title gives it away.

Speaker 15 And it's Wig and Rudd singing one of those story country songs at like an open mic night where, you know, those like 70 songs where like she went down to the bridge and she went a little fast.

Speaker 15 Like, it's just like a story of something. And it's a very long song about a package being delivered to the wrong house.
And it's just them singing the tracking number.

Speaker 35 He started reading off the tracking number right into her MM

Speaker 11 He said

Speaker 27 6, 7, 3, 4, 5, Eve 2.

Speaker 10 Then he continued TKX 452C.

Speaker 16 Sounds like some Wig action.

Speaker 14 It's really funny.

Speaker 15 And it's also, you know, last week with him, with Brolin, with Hathaway, like the speed at which Rudd can do anybody's tone. Yeah.
Like he matches Wig's energy perfectly.

Speaker 15 You know, the fun thing about the Beyonce sketch is, again, I'll be the straight man for this one. He's the director of the single ladies video.

Speaker 15 So, you know, when he gets to be funny, he's super funny. The first kissing family.

Speaker 9 Vogelchecks. The Vogelceks.

Speaker 15 I think maybe the line that made Lauren laugh the most every time he heard it was the end of a kissing family where Fred would do his long run explaining why.

Speaker 47 My grandfather, Grand Pope Vogelcek, came to this country with nothing. He was totally naked.

Speaker 47 He left his job as a foreigner so that he could build a better life for himself here. A country where he wouldn't punish people who were affectionate and kissy with their families.

Speaker 47 So, yeah, I know it feels like a lot, but you know something?

Speaker 19 We're Vogelchecks.

Speaker 28 And the way he said it would make Lauren like the fuck.

Speaker 15 Lauren even told me, like, a month before the 50th, he's like, you know, I'm thinking maybe a kissing family because, you know, then you have, you know, because we're Vogelcheks.

Speaker 15 You know, and it's a great line, but I always want to say, like, to Lauren, like, you know, that's not, like, isn't that special?

Speaker 15 But I did re-watch that, and there was a line that does not get a laugh that made me laugh out loud.

Speaker 15 Just a very writer's line that happens too fast for the audience to appreciate, which is: Fred is talking about how his family moved to America because they wanted a place where they wouldn't be judged for being affectionate.

Speaker 15 And he says, talking about his grandpa Volgolchek, he left his job as a foreigner so he could build a better life for himself here. But he left his job as a foreigner.

Speaker 9 It's so funny to me.

Speaker 16 And how, what's the exact phrasing on the last line of it, Seth?

Speaker 33 I don't know.

Speaker 15 Maybe it's just because we're vocal checks.

Speaker 45 There you go.

Speaker 15 Some version of that.

Speaker 22 Just eating it up.

Speaker 22 I have a dumb question.

Speaker 18 Is it live?

Speaker 10 What?

Speaker 9 Is the show live? That's your dumb question.

Speaker 28 What time does it air and what night?

Speaker 22 Andy, when you're in something like the single ladies thing and it's fucking Beyoncé and it looks pretty iconic and Justin's in it.

Speaker 22 Because I don't know how many sketches you were in that actually became that level of sort of iconic. Did you have the sense that you're like, ah, this one's going to get re-watched?

Speaker 22 Did you have that sort of sense that you're just like, oh, this is just another thing and hopefully people like it. It's funny.

Speaker 16 Well, I was crazy geeked because I was doing something with Beyonce. Yeah.
But, I mean, you know, no matter what, it's like going to be a news item, an entertainment news item. Right.

Speaker 16 It's the modern equivalent of like when Ariana Grande sings Sabrina Carpenter's song. Like it's just things that are super red hot in that moment.

Speaker 16 It's gonna get clicked and yes, where you're like, oh, I see, this is like very relevant to pop culture at this exact moment.

Speaker 16 And when you're doing it, the audience is aware of that and you're getting extra juice off of that for sure.

Speaker 22 Is that out of all the sketches that you've done, is that the one that is probably most, I don't know, iconic for like live?

Speaker 33 Yeah. I don't know.

Speaker 16 It's an interesting question.

Speaker 26 Yeah. All right.
That was it.

Speaker 16 I mean, it's, if so, it's because it was Beyonce and Justin doing something together.

Speaker 15 Right.

Speaker 15 Support comes from Home Chef. Guys, what if I told you for just $500,000 a year, a chef could come to your home? and make your meals.

Speaker 22 I would freak out. Please don't tell me that.

Speaker 15 Well, that's too much money, and I have good news. You don't need to do that.
Here's the thing.

Speaker 15 Meal kits often market themselves as an easy meal prep solution, but they often disappoint people like Yorm with their complicated overlong recipes that aren't worth the effort.

Speaker 22 Don't like it complicated. I like things simple.
You tell me this is simple.

Speaker 15 Yeah, well, Home Chef appreciates that and knows that to be the case for you, Yorm. They know that struggle, and they deliver fresh, delicious meal kits that can respect your time.

Speaker 15 HomeChef delivers fresh ingredients and chef-designed recipes conveniently to your doorstep to simplify your cooking experience.

Speaker 7 I find Home Chef a bit bit overwhelming because there's over 30 options every week and it can serve every dietary need and I just, it's so many choices.

Speaker 33 But Jorm, you like that?

Speaker 22 I do. It's interesting that you say that because I like variety, Keeve, and that's why Home Chef is number one in my book.

Speaker 37 Quickly rank this for me.

Speaker 3 What's your favorite part? Is it quick 30-minute recipes?

Speaker 7 Love it.

Speaker 23 Oven-ready options.

Speaker 22 Very difficult to decide already.

Speaker 9 Microwave meals.

Speaker 33 Also like.

Speaker 15 Can I just jump in to say it's also economical? HomeChef customers save an average of $86 per month on groceries.

Speaker 33 I think that's a great thing to say.

Speaker 15 And when meal planning ends up on the back burner, check out Home Chef's new five-ingredient meals that simplify prep with super easy recipe steps using just five fresh, pre-portioned ingredients.

Speaker 7 You know how I feel about that.

Speaker 27 I like it.

Speaker 7 And I've talked about that I've made these meals with my family and I have liked them.

Speaker 17 So I don't know what else to say.

Speaker 15 And your family has liked them. And now for the first time, you were saying to me in years, you feel like your family likes you.

Speaker 26 Yeah, food is the way to the heart.

Speaker 31 That's what my big Italian family always says.

Speaker 15 Support for the Lonely Island Seth Meyers podcast comes from Airbnb. I was very excited when my brother finally got married.
He waited a very long time to do it. So long that I had children.

Speaker 15 And then I had to bring my children to his wedding. And I didn't want to have my children in a hotel room.

Speaker 15 And we were really lucky that there was an Airbnb nearby so that I didn't have to have my kids at the hotel where everybody was loud and staying up late.

Speaker 15 And instead, they got to stay at a wonderful A-frame. And if you don't have kids, let me tell you, they love it when a house is shaped like a letter.
It was fantastic. We had a great time.

Speaker 15 They did not wake us up early because they had their own rooms and it was just so much better than being in a common space with everybody who was in full revelry for my brother's wedding.

Speaker 15 Hey, Yarm, were you at that wedding?

Speaker 48 Oh, no, it wasn't about it.

Speaker 15 So you know what? Thanks to my brother for finally getting married. And more importantly, thanks to Airbnb.

Speaker 15 Oh, hey, can we go into

Speaker 15 Seth's Corner, but it's called the Petulant Pit. Oh.

Speaker 45 Can you sing a song for that?

Speaker 22 I think Andy should sing the Petulant Pit.

Speaker 27 Oh, the Petulant Pit, you know.

Speaker 15 It's a pit full of petulance, and it's worse than lips.

Speaker 35 He's a very good singing.

Speaker 15 I just realized, I hope I haven't talked about this. This was where I was so mad because I wrote a live sketch where you played Ram Emanuel, Andy, and it got cut.

Speaker 33 Oh.

Speaker 40 Do you remember?

Speaker 16 But then did it air later?

Speaker 15 It aired later, but I didn't know it was going to air in the future because I wasn't there yet and i was so mad it got cut but it aired later as a pre-tape yeah which helped but it was from the live recording we didn't redo it again but it was live and it was about how ram emmanuel like did a lot of cursing it was known as a sort of hothead you were great in it i thought it was awesome it got cut and i went into my dressing room And I was so mad, I swung my door open and the doorknob went through the wall that the door swung into and left a big old hole.

Speaker 15 Fucking strong guy. And Shoemaker, as punishment, wouldn't ever get the hole fixed because he said, I want you to look at that every day and think about what a baby you are.

Speaker 22 That's a good producer. That's good producing.

Speaker 15 The amazing thing about this is Shoemaker's been out. Shoemaker got knee surgery.
And so we just finished two weeks of shows where Shoemaker wasn't in the building.

Speaker 15 Shoemaker, absolutely the most important person for me to be around to get through through my day without stress overwhelming me.

Speaker 15 Like, cause anytime something makes me a little bit crazy, his office is right next to me. I just walk over and I just yell at him.
I literally don't take it out at anybody else.

Speaker 15 I just yell at him and then it's out. Yeah.
And I just like go back to my day. So I haven't had Shoemaker.
I made it all the way to the last day. By the way, it's only two weeks.

Speaker 15 I should have been able to make it. And something happened yesterday.
And I took a Uniball pen and I threw it across the room and it exploded on my wall and left like a Rorschach block.

Speaker 15 And I put a note up and said, please do not clean this because that's going to be my new hole in the wall. Beautiful.

Speaker 15 I'm going to put a little plaque next to it to be like, the two weeks Shu was away.

Speaker 22 I just like picturing that when he comes back, his knee is going to be like, bow, he's just going to be picking stuff.

Speaker 15 He's going to enter the way. Hiya!

Speaker 15 Like when RoboCop first walked in. Yeah.

Speaker 41 Check this out, guys.

Speaker 16 Love that we've all heard that story. My thought was, man, what's up with dudes and our rage? And why do we always want to break stuff when we're mad?

Speaker 16 And Jorm was like, I bet Shoemaker's got a robot leg.

Speaker 26 You should get him a soccer ball.

Speaker 13 We should break a bunch of soccer balls and put them in different rooms.

Speaker 29 I like yours way better.

Speaker 15 Andy's like, oh, man, we're so toxic. Yorm's like, how far can he kick a soccer ball now?

Speaker 18 I'm sure I can do this now.

Speaker 5 Keith, what was your takeaway?

Speaker 49 I'm just enjoying the pod.

Speaker 27 Oh, okay.

Speaker 14 Righteous kill. Oh, righteous kill.
Oh, righteous kill.

Speaker 28 Oh, have we ever talked about righteous kill as a saying?

Speaker 41 No, that's why I'm surprised we haven't.

Speaker 17 Where is it from, Andy?

Speaker 16 Akiva, when it came out, or when it was not even out yet, it was about to come out, the movie Righteous Kill, said he was going to try and start that as a thing.

Speaker 17 Wait, it was Keeve that said that?

Speaker 40 Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 49 And I would have put it on you, Andy. I don't, I have no memory.

Speaker 27 No, it was you.

Speaker 20 Okay.

Speaker 49 Well, it caught on for a while with me and you.

Speaker 15 Yeah, we said it all.

Speaker 41 It caught on for fucking Andy.

Speaker 16 He said it for the rest of his life a righteous kill yeah I still say it all the time so when someone says something that you would normally say like right on or righteous you go oh righteous kill righteous kill and Keith and I still every now and again when we text each other something we'll just send the the poster of the movie right

Speaker 27 as a response so Keith tried to start something and it only caught on with his closest friend that's all I was starting with that's it that was success well it caught on with yeah that is success it's not over guys we have a podcast we have a platform this is our megaphone so get it out there guys there's still time.

Speaker 15 Righteous kill, Jorn. Righteous kill.

Speaker 5 If even, hey, look, if even one person

Speaker 16 starts saying righteous kill casually in their conversations, this podcast will have been worth it.

Speaker 49 It was De Niro. It was Pacino together again for the first time since heat, which was the first time ever.

Speaker 14 Yeah. And

Speaker 49 its legacy is like it doesn't exist, but in this small way, it can.

Speaker 33 Yeah.

Speaker 16 Thank you. Thank you.
For so many things, but at this moment, that.

Speaker 15 I just had De Niro on on my show. De Niro's in a new movie where he plays two different mobsters.

Speaker 25 I saw this.

Speaker 15 And so, yeah, so he does a scene with himself. And one of our producers on this podcast in the late night, Kevin Miller, produced that segment.

Speaker 15 And Kevin Miller basically gave me an A-plus line to say when De Niro was out, which is, I said, I apologize that I'm about to say this, but when I look at this picture of you,

Speaker 25 two of you at a table, all I can think is you talking to you.

Speaker 16 You talking to you? Yeah.

Speaker 9 You talking to you.

Speaker 15 And it was a real good, like, Denier being like, huh?

Speaker 33 Yeah.

Speaker 33 Very funny.

Speaker 27 You talking to you.

Speaker 35 Okay.

Speaker 19 That makes sense.

Speaker 22 Can I say one more that I'd like people to start saying?

Speaker 40 Oh, yeah.

Speaker 15 This is like your righteous kill.

Speaker 22 Well, when we did quatto, and I mean, we may have talked about this, but I really did want people to start calling each other quads.

Speaker 15 Now, that took off with me, I would say, the same way that righteous kill took off with Andy.

Speaker 22 Yeah. So do you call your friends Quades? Like when you walk into a room, you're like, hey, what are you Quades up to?

Speaker 28 Just with us. Yeah, just with us.

Speaker 15 I mean, that's the problem, is I'm not taking it to the streets, but I do think I often think of you as a Quaid, Jorm.

Speaker 22 Yeah, no, no, no, I am. I am

Speaker 22 100% a Quaid.

Speaker 16 Joast will still sometimes text, who does a Quaid have to blow to get a Molsinger out of here.

Speaker 15 I thought you were trying to get this expression started, Jorm. Oh, wait, it's today?

Speaker 7 That was a week ago.

Speaker 15 I don't feel bad about this. I don't feel bad about this because we constantly move the podcast.

Speaker 22 So that's a perfectly reasonable thing to text multiple times a day.

Speaker 15 Look, I'm just really happy. Let's just celebrate the fact that all four of us are here together.

Speaker 22 This is killer. This is going great.
Yeah.

Speaker 49 Everyone's a critic. Is it criterion?

Speaker 12 I don't know.

Speaker 22 I'm going to say not.

Speaker 49 In some ways, it is to me because it feels so different from all the others. And I'm always very into when we branch into different things.

Speaker 49 Like, again, if it was a true Criterion or the old school SNL best of DVD,

Speaker 49 just having it be song after song wouldn't feel that good. We would be really grateful for the dear sisters jammed in there.

Speaker 49 And then I think something like this would suddenly feel more exciting to put in there just to create a good, the feeling of a good show.

Speaker 22 Okay, you're talking about like it's a mixtape.

Speaker 13 Exactly.

Speaker 22 I appreciate it.

Speaker 49 Well, that's what those best ofs were, a mixtape.

Speaker 49 And so you did want to kind of create, you know, when we were kids and we'd rent the Eddie Murphy one, you were renting it instead of renting a movie, you know, you were at the video store and you were renting best of Eddie Murphy.

Speaker 16 You would watch it straight through and and want to have like a comedy special experience you know i like your macro view on this it's a different way to think about it and uh now i don't know what to think because i wouldn't put it i i don't think you can think about criterion like that i agree with everything you said keeve and i would say ultimately i don't think it's criterion yeah but it definitely falls into the category of i'm proud of it and like it a lot certainly would be in kim's video it's a real kim's video yeah it's a kim's video for sure yeah it doesn't get caught trying to be anything it's not.

Speaker 15 There's no cheap moves. It's like very pure to itself.

Speaker 22 Yeah, no, no, I love this one. I wish we could release that song.
I wish I had it on my computer right now because it really makes me happy. I wish it was my ringtone.

Speaker 15 Can I pitch something? Maybe take five minutes and just re-record it.

Speaker 33 Oh, you know what?

Speaker 33 Okay.

Speaker 16 This one goes way more arched, but I would also say you could sort of categorize it tonally and pace-wise with the Jonah's Dad one.

Speaker 19 Yeah.

Speaker 16 Which is like a story that takes place at the studio and then sort of branches out from there.

Speaker 6 But yeah, it's good stuff.

Speaker 16 And like, look, there's no one we love more than Rudd. He's just like the greatest.

Speaker 22 Andy, would you call it AMPM?

Speaker 13 Too much of that. That's good stuff.

Speaker 16 Yeah, Jorm says that a lot. Yeah.

Speaker 15 Hey, I want to loop back one episode just to say, share one story,

Speaker 15 which is that the last show

Speaker 15 before the election, which was Ben Affleck. Ben Affleck is a very good over the years, a wonderful SNL host.

Speaker 15 But my memory of the Affleck show was John McCain, the John McCain who was running for president, and the election was three days later, came on the show and did a QVC sketch that I had originally written for Daryl.

Speaker 15 And the idea was that it was going so bad in the polls and that fundraising was such a problem that he was now on QVC.

Speaker 15 And he did a sketch where he was with Tina playing Sarah Palin. Yeah.
And again, as crazy as politics are now, that is deeply unique.

Speaker 50 Would I rather be on three major networks?

Speaker 16 Of course.

Speaker 50 But I'm a true Maverick, a Republican without money.

Speaker 50 And I'm not like my opponent. My only showbiz connections are John Voigt and Heidi from the Hills.

Speaker 50 So I'm here on QVC. And like QVC, this campaign promises you three things, quality, value, and convenience.

Speaker 15 And great deals on juicers

Speaker 15 he was having the time of his life fucking good good for him and again he had hosted the show in maybe 05 04 we'd hung out with him before lauren and him got along incredibly well he was somebody who for however our politics diverged i felt like the man's moral compass was one i had a great amount of respect for and i liked being around him i thought he was really funny and wrote this sketch.

Speaker 15 And he showed up to do it in his dressing room. Lindsey Graham and Sam Brownback, who were a couple of senators at the time.
Lindsey Graham obviously still is.

Speaker 15 I remember going back after the sketch aired and being like, that was great.

Speaker 40 And they were like, oh man, what a blast.

Speaker 15 Like again, like they're just looking at pulling numbers.

Speaker 49 Yeah, just come for fun and

Speaker 15 spoke. Yeah, I think he was like, we're going to go to SNL.
Come meet me.

Speaker 40 The

Speaker 16 fact that it was with Tina and that halfway through the sketch, she, as Palin, turns to a new camera and goes, Okay, y'all, I'm going rogue.

Speaker 33 Yeah.

Speaker 16 Which had been like a news story for weeks about how Palin was going rogue and throwing off the election for them.

Speaker 16 And he was in it was so wild. I remember being like, as a person who really doesn't care about politics most of the time,

Speaker 16 especially at that time, I was like, I can't fucking believe he's doing this.

Speaker 15 Hey, listen up, everybody. I'm going rogue right now, so keep your voices down.
down. Available now, we got a bunch of these pants from Charlie's t-shirts.

Speaker 15 Just

Speaker 15 try and wait until after Tuesday to wear them, okay?

Speaker 15 Because I am not going anywhere, and I'm certainly not going back to Alaska.

Speaker 15 That was also then a couple years later, the title of Sarah Palin's book was Going Rogue.

Speaker 27 Was it really? Wow. Yeah.

Speaker 22 We got to lean into it, I guess.

Speaker 16 Also, it reminded me of like when I was growing up watching SNL when there was that sketch where Lovitz was Dukakis. Oh, yeah.
Or keeps cutting back and forth.

Speaker 33 I can't believe I'm losing to this guy.

Speaker 16 But it was as if Dukakis was in that sketch. You know what I mean?

Speaker 9 Yes. Yeah.
Like the real one, McCain doing it.

Speaker 15 All right, gentlemen. Hey, our next one's kind of a big one, fellas.
John Malkovich hosted the episode. He wasn't in the short, but you were.
And it's Jizz in My Pants.

Speaker 14 Oh.

Speaker 32 Big change for us. Fun one.

Speaker 22 Pretty exciting.

Speaker 49 It's the first one we did outside of SNL, where we took the off week previous to SNL and shot it that week.

Speaker 28 Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Speaker 15 Let's save these details for the episode. Oh, yeah.

Speaker 22 It's already getting too good.

Speaker 17 Shut up, Keeve.

Speaker 16 It definitely, I would argue, changed the way those got made and still continues to get made.

Speaker 9 Changed the game?
