00:00We're just killing time here. None of this could be used.
00:04Ladies and gentlemen.
00:06Live from New York.
00:07Yes.
00:08Lorne Michaels.
00:08Lorne Michaels.
00:09The man who created Saturday Night Live.
00:11What is funny?
00:12It's like pornography.
00:14You're done from porn.
00:15You know it when you see it.
00:17I don't think I would advise you to try and capture Lorne.
00:21Jesus.
00:21You wouldn't be happy with that.
00:23And then you'll capture a guy who's not happy.
00:26Is this really necessary?
00:29I was probably too driven to be a hippie.
00:31What I wanted was a voice in the culture.
00:35And SNL was that vehicle.
00:38He has this man behind the curtain.
00:40Mystique about him.
00:41I don't know Lorne the way Alec Baldwin knows Lorne.
00:44I've never stood in the ocean with Lorne.
00:47He's going to have notes that are impossible to understand.
00:51And you will be clingy, asking beats.
00:54You'll know it's not playing the way Lorne thought it was going to play
00:57when he does this.
00:59It feels like he's blowing your soul out of your body.
01:05That's funny.
01:08Lorne is the ultimate show business survivor.
01:11He's still here and a hundred executives are not.
01:16You really have to search in terms of why you're here.
01:19I don't say that often.
01:20But you're the best at it.
01:24All of life is reinvention.
01:26So to be understood, not going to happen.
01:30So, you going to retire?
01:34Hey.
01:37That was mine.
01:41For all I know, he works for the CIA.
01:43If he told me he made maple syrup, I would believe him.
01:45I think his favorite band is Nirvana.
01:47I think the spoiler is on his way to do it.
01:53There he is.
01:53By the way, his brain has turned away as the entire universe of the world.
01:54So I'm not making it he has.
01:54He's not so mentally good.
01:54He's not doing it.
02:00So I'm not making a decision for him.
02:00He's not making it.
02:01He's not making it.
02:03I'm not making any decisions for him to be not making it.
02:06You
