00:0050 years of SNL. What do you think of when you think about the legacy of this show?
00:08That just how lucky I was to be a part of it
00:12When you think about your time and your tenure on the show
00:15Is there a particular sketch that comes to mind that maybe you thought?
00:20Wouldn't land and it did or maybe the opposite you thought it was it is gonna land and then
00:25a
00:27Sketch I did Barbara Walters interviewing Snoop Dogg and this is when Snoop Dogg first got came out
00:33You know like was on the scene, so we didn't know how sweet he could be or anything
00:38he was like a hardcore rapper, so I had to have Barbara interviewing him and
00:44It ended up going better than I could have imagined I
00:49Love that was there a standout host for you. You're like wow I'd like really
00:55This person really stuck out to me. I was like being a really memorable host
00:59I'd have to say Jim Carrey. I mean
01:02Just because I was so happy for him because it meant so much to him to do the show cuz she he had auditioned
01:09back in the day and
01:12When you you know and he always wanted to be on it, and I'm like you're it's way healthier to be hosting it and
01:19And I was just so happy that he did such a great job
01:22You say it's way healthier to be hosting it than being a part of it, why do you think
01:27It's it's a tough gig
01:29You know it's a really tough gig, but he's somewhat familiar with that because of in living color, but um
01:37Yeah, I always thought of people
01:39who
01:40didn't get on who did audition and then later ended up hosting and it's like wow where
01:46one door closes
01:48you know another one opens and
01:50Yeah
01:52Yeah, what's one part of being on SNL that people don't truly understand or maybe realize unless you're actually
02:00Doing it and going through the motions up how many of the actors have to write I?
02:04Mean we have writers, but they don't have to write for you. They write what they want and then they cast you know but
02:11the writers I mean the actors are a
02:15Lot of actors are writing to get on the show, and they're almost competing with other writers
02:22you know
02:24and
02:25That's hard. You know you have a this sea of great writers, and you know
02:32They don't have to write you know for you, but um you know but everybody hooks up with somebody and
02:39I would had was lucky to write a lot with that Matt people on and
02:45and
02:47that was I
02:49was
02:50like Gilda had out Alan's why Bell and
02:55There's people that you just and we and Matt, and I wrote really well together
02:59And I knew I was lucky to have somebody that would write with me who was who was so talented
03:05And was there a sketch or maybe a character that you workshop that you're like dang it
03:10I wish that that kind of made it on air, and it maybe didn't
03:15Well yes, but I got her on update
03:20It was a joy Lipton and
03:23She owned the erotic attic in Manhattan, and so I couldn't get her on the show, but I got her on update
03:34You
