00:00How often since the Domingo sketch do you get called Domingo out IRL?

00:05It happens often, I would say.

00:06Not that often, like, it's not crazy or anything, but it's usually young people.

00:11And they're funny, you know, what am I going to say?

00:13Now, of course, everyone was really surprised to see Bowen leaving the show.

00:16What's it been like for you seeing him leave?

00:19You know, I just talked about it.

00:21He's a guy that I've seen work so hard, and he put up numbers, you know.

00:26If this was a team, you know, he'd be one of those guys that had a great career,

00:30and I'm excited to see what he does next, and he's the man.

00:33Everybody loves him, so, you know, I'm one of those people.

00:38When you think about your career outside of SNL, what other kind of projects do you want to take on?

00:42Well, no, I'm doing my SNL, my first, sorry, my first Netflix special, my stand-up.

00:48Comes out now, the 7th, and I'm excited about doing stand-up

00:51and hopefully doing some more acting.

00:53I'm writing, you know, trying to do the whole thing.

00:57Since we're here at the Critics' Choice Awards, I've been asking people if they read reviews.

01:01Like, will you read reviews of the stand-up special or avoid them?

01:04You know, I think the important thing is to just keep working.

01:08That's how I try to keep my mind, you know, safe, you know,

01:11because you can get caught up and start to feel bad about yourself,

01:15and I don't think that helps you, you know.

01:17So I think you take it as it comes, and then you keep going, you know.

01:22If you have to read one, you read one, and then you keep going, good or bad.

01:26You should just keep going.

01:27And since it's the beginning of a new year, I've been asking people tonight,

01:30what's one thing that's in for 2026 and one thing that's out?

01:34Wow.

01:34I think, I don't know, man.

01:40I think my mom always told me being nice is always in,

01:46and being mad and being sad and being, you know, angry, that's out.

01:53So stay happy.

01:55Keep the vibes high.

01:57That's it.

01:58That's it for 2026.
