00:00Violins on television!
00:02Oh, nevermind.
00:07Hey, who, what, where with the cast of Saturday Night
00:10and we are dying to see what you, what you died for.
00:16Murdered that.
00:18Oh, this is a compliment to myself.
00:20You, Corey Michael Smith,
00:23exude handsomeness and charisma as young Chevy Chase.
00:27Tell us, what's the secret sauce
00:29to putting on the perfect charm?
00:31Can you demonstrate a handsome gaze directly to camera?
00:34Wow, which I've been doing the whole,
00:37I'm doing it the whole time.
00:38This is one of the things that was really making me panic.
00:43You know, when you're told like,
00:44hey, you're, you're going to play this icon
00:46who's known for his charisma and confidence and swagger,
00:51you know, and like one of the big scenes
00:53is someone being like, you're so good.
00:55You're going to be the next Johnny Carson.
00:57You just held a room so perfectly.
00:59You're going to be the biggest star.
01:01And I'm like, that is an impossible task.
01:04And yet you do it.
01:06Thank you, Ella.
01:07Wow, Lamorne, you remind me of Idris Elba.
01:10Whoa, how handsome.
01:12Damn you, sexy.
01:13Whoa, whoa, whoa.
01:15Who is your favorite SNL host of all time?
01:18I think Ryan Gosling is just the hunk of our age.
01:22His recent spin, the monologue is one of the most fun openings
01:26I've ever seen of SNL, ever.
01:29I'd probably say Chappelle.
01:31He doesn't give a , that's great.
01:32Him or Bill Burr, I would say one of those two.
01:35Probably my two favorite hosts.
01:36Toss that.
01:37Woo!
01:38That was dangerous.
01:40What iconic SNL sketch do you wish you could have been a part of?
01:45If I could have just been the third Spartan cheerleader, that would have made young Corey very happy.
01:52I would love to be around, just around the table for, you know, the Pedro Pascal episode.
01:59Is it Samantha from Temecula?
02:00It's something like that where she's cutting her bees.
02:03Oh.
02:04Oh, my God.
02:06And they're all corpsing just to sit.
02:10I'd probably say anytime Colin Jost and Michael Che write each other's material, I'd like to be there for that.
02:18Fifteen years ago, a buddy of mine got married, and me and my friends, we wrote each other's best man
02:23speeches.
02:24And they were very dark, very racist.
02:28Half the wedding party was like, what the are they doing?
02:31Wait, did the...
02:32They didn't know, but my buddy who was getting married is one of the silliest.
02:35Okay.
02:36Chris Page, if you're watching, he's an idiot.
02:38So he was all about it.
02:40Yeah, his wife not so much.
02:42What's your favorite Gilderadna sketch character, and can you do your best impression?
02:50Violins on television!
02:52Oh, never mind.
02:53Her nanny growing up was this lady called Divi, and Divi was who inspired Emily Lutella.
02:59And in this film, I have this backstory that no one else is going to know, where she's already starting
03:06to think about Emily Lutella,
03:07and that's what she's doing in the mirror at the top.
03:09I think there were moments where we each got to put in little Easter eggs.
03:14You know, they're not in the script, but we did the work, like, our favorite little moments of, like, researching
03:19these people.
03:19And that is, that's, like, a really special thing.
03:22I love Emily Lutella.
03:23I also love Judy Miller, but I am not going to hop about like a little girl.
03:27Who is your favorite recurring SNL character of all time?
03:31Oh man, any time Keenan plays Steve Harvey.
03:35I always used to really, literally get a kick out of Molly Shannon being 50 years old.
03:40But MacGruber is also one that I really love, because it's so stupid in a great way.
03:46I'm wrong with MacGruber, I'm changing my mind.
03:47Okay.
03:48Between stage lights falling, wardrobe racks shattering glass, and breaking down doors, there were a lot of faux pas before
03:55going live that first show.
03:57What are some memorable production mishaps you've encountered on a set?
04:01There is a prosthetic in the film, and it belongs to J.K. Simmons.
04:06There was a time he just keeps whipping out this prosthetic, you know, to humiliate me.
04:11And one of the times that prosthetic whipped out, it whipped out and smacked the ground.
04:17I think the camera did a little pan down.
04:19That's crazy.
04:20I'll tell you one from this set.
04:21I was going to a basketball game, and I was told by another buddy who was going to that basketball
04:25game that Cooper was coming.
04:27And we'd be sitting right next to each other.
04:29And I thought, oh, awesome.
04:31Now here we are, first quarter, there's no Cooper.
04:33And I'm like, Hollywood, show up whenever you want.
04:36Second quarter, no Cooper.
04:38I'm like, damn, third quarter, here comes Cooper, with a cast on his hand.
04:42Because apparently that day, he improvised a moment where he just punched a door and broke his hand.
04:49What a commitment to silliness.
04:51A light also once fell on my head on set.
04:54Ooh, ow!
04:54Thanks, season two of Woke.
04:57Should we move on?
04:57Yeah.
04:58Okay.
04:59Your character, Garrett Morris, floors everyone with their singing and belting chops.
05:03Mm-hmm.
05:04What's your go-to shower song that you always belt?
05:09Engelbert Humperdinck.
05:10What?
05:10Quando, quando, quando.
05:12I love that song so much.
05:14Really?
05:14It's such a ridiculous song.
05:16Tell me when will you be mine.
05:21Tell me quando, quando, quando.
05:26We can share our love divine.
05:31Please don't make me wait again.
05:34Oh, my God.
05:36Yeah, yeah, that's part of it.
05:38All right.
05:38Shall we toss these together?
05:40Yes.
05:41Woo!
