00:00What's crazy about this is...
00:02FING IT BURN!
00:04Sorry!
00:05It's basically when I'm doing that!
00:06That was in the dress. That was cut for time, that one.
00:08We all wear like adult nappies.
00:10That's why we have all these elaborate characters, because we're all...
00:12We're sh**ing.
00:13No, I- sorry, I'm not allowed to say that.
00:15It's not true.
00:16It's the cast of SNL UK!
00:18That's us.
00:19That's true.
00:19The best ones, and anyone.
00:20How are you guys doing today?
00:21Very good, thank you.
00:22Yes, I'm getting some intrigued looks about the trunk.
00:26So, this is my trunk of truth.
00:30Thank you for that.
00:31That's what we're meant to do.
00:32What the hell is that?
00:34I beg your pardon?
00:35Inside the trunk are questions you have to answer truthfully,
00:38because the trunk can tell when you're lying.
00:41Okay.
00:41It's about time we had a haunted trunk.
00:43Does it react? Does it do something when you lie?
00:45It will in the edit, yes.
00:47Who wants to go first?
00:48Trunk of truth.
00:49Trunk of truth.
00:51Which SNL legend would you be most terrified to perform a sketch in front of?
00:57Like, most of them, I guess.
00:59Yeah, like every last one.
01:01I mean, Fallon just arrived on set, and as I was doing my Weekend Update feature,
01:06I think it's fair to say he's famous for kind of, he's quite a generous laugher.
01:10He didn't laugh.
01:10Not a thing.
01:12That made me really...
01:13What a ****.
01:14No, no, no.
01:14Lovely man.
01:16Great taste.
01:17But that put the fear of God in me.
01:20Will Ferrell?
01:21Yeah, yeah, because...
01:23Though I think you'd be a very generous audience member.
01:25Will Ferrell or Amy Poehler, like any of that generation of...
01:28I would probably **** my damn pants.
01:30I mean, Tina was like...
01:31That was scary.
01:31That's the hardest one, because you're basically like...
01:33And now to try and be funny in front of, basically, the CEO of comedy.
01:38I received a really nice little message from Tina Fey after my Melania.
01:43Which was like...
01:44I love that.
01:46Amazing.
01:47How have I ever been friends with Jeffrey Epstein?
01:51It's just like a little message that was like, you know, great or something.
01:55I've been dining out on that for years.
01:57Yeah, I think this is my first dine out, and maybe I should continue to dine out.
02:01Now is not the time to be...
02:03Don't be bashful.
02:05Yeah, it's impossible to describe how much something like that means.
02:07Especially when the next day after doing these things live, you're like,
02:11what have I done?
02:12You know, was that okay?
02:13So, yeah, it's so special.
02:14Yeah, she reached out to me about your Melania as well.
02:16We text a lot.
02:17If Maya Rudolph reaches out to me, I may pass away.
02:20It will, honestly, it will change the trajectory of my life.
02:24Al.
02:24I believe it's you.
02:26Did you leave your audition thinking you got the job?
02:29No.
02:29No.
02:30I left being like, oh, I haven't got it.
02:31Like, kind of ****ed it, basically.
02:33Then the screen test, I have to say, I left being like, look, cars on the table.
02:37Whatever happens, I've done my absolute best.
02:39Everyone was like, oh, they don't laugh.
02:41And I was like, they were laughing for someone in there.
02:42I think you'd have to be a narcissistic psychopath to come away from that situation and think
02:48you'd got the job.
02:48I think you've done it.
02:49And one of the senior members of staff, like, shook my hand as I left.
02:52And I was like, that's not a golden handshake, but you know.
02:55Yeah.
02:55I left being like, I've done well there.
02:57Al was on before me, and I remember you sang.
03:00And for those, I mean, everyone knows because you've done it on SNL, but like, you're an incredible singer.
03:05That's kind.
03:06A terrible person.
03:07That's the way, yeah.
03:08But you finished, and then the first line of my screen test was, hi, I'm Jack Shepp,
03:12and this is my audition to play gay guy.
03:15I really didn't think I got it until, and then I did a weekend update screen test with Paddy.
03:20And when we did it together, I was like, that was the first thing I felt like that was an
03:24enjoyable experience.
03:25Yeah.
03:26In my life.
03:27In my life.
03:28I came online.
03:29Paddy Young brought me online.
03:31So many comedians in the UK would have gone up for this.
03:34Like, were you going up against friends of yours?
03:36Were you talking about your auditions with each other?
03:38They were friends.
03:40Everyone auditioned for it, basically.
03:41Was that awkward?
03:42Going up against your friends?
03:43Like, how open were you?
03:44It's quite normal, though, in the industry.
03:45You're always auditioning for a lot of similar stuff, yeah.
03:48I can't believe I'm in season two, and I still feel like I didn't get it.
03:52Okay, okay.
03:53What's the closest you've come to completely f***ing up a live sketch?
03:57Wow, you used the everyone in your chest.
03:58I'm ready.
03:58I read out the editors.
04:00I have no power over this.
04:00I'm merely the trunk's handler.
04:02This is a really clever way of being able to ask really direct questions that are like, you might be
04:06cheeky,
04:06but you're going, I have no role in this, she said.
04:08Well, it's an easy answer for me, because I did.
04:12It made it better.
04:13I actively ruined the book sketch by laughing all the way through at how insane it was.
04:17It made it better.
04:18It added physical personal charm for the fact that you had physical beating off that demon.
04:22of that thing stuck in your head.
04:25You think it burned?
04:26Sorry.
04:27It's basically when I'm doing that.
04:28That was in the dress.
04:30That didn't make it to the line.
04:31That got cut.
04:31That was cut for time, that one.
04:33There was one of the updates where I spoke a bit of Korean.
04:38And I was so worried about it, and then when it was finished, I then just forgot that I had
04:44to carry up.
04:44Like, do an intro to Miguel.
04:46So someone was waving behind the camera.
04:49And I suddenly came, because I was like, God, I can't believe I got to the end of the sentence.
04:52And then I realised, yeah, the show is happening.
04:55I can't be in a sketch with Hamed, because he always makes me laugh.
04:58Hamed is dangerous to be around, because he knows when the camera's not on him, and he knows when...
05:05He's like a good...
05:07He's a sniper.
05:08Thrice, he's done it to me.
05:09One is the pigman in the pork sketch.
05:12In the aeroplane sketch with Nicola Coughlin, he's right in front of me looking up at me.
05:16And in the seagull one, he knew every time the camera goes off him, he's like...
05:21We all wear, like, adult nappies.
05:23That's why we have all these elaborate characters, because we're all...
05:26No, I... sorry, I'm not allowed to say that.
05:29That's not true.
05:30Come on, let's do it, let's do it.
05:31Have there been any SNL crushes, romances, or flirtations behind the scenes?
05:35What's crazy about this is...
05:38This is really sweet, and I'm glad that we got this one.
05:40It's that all of us are bi-slash-pan, and we are all having sex with each other all the
05:45time.
05:46I have been told that there was a 12-person polycule with Jamie Dornan.
05:50Yeah.
05:50I've got such a love for Jamie Dornan.
05:52We all fell in love with Jamie Dornan.
05:54Yeah.
05:54All in a relationship.
05:55Yeah, we're all in a relationship.
05:56We're in a 12-person polycule with Jamie Dornan.
05:58Oh, God.
06:00What a mess.
06:02Do you want to clear up those rumours right now?
06:03Absolutely not, we want to muddy those waters.
06:05We want to muddy those waters.
06:06Let me tell you we're all in bed, we're eating gnocchi.
06:08Yeah.
06:08He's making us gnocchi.
06:09He does a lovely tray bake for after.
06:11He's making us a pasta tray bake.
06:12We're all jumping into one big bed, long this way.
06:16Yeah.
06:16Can we have that on the poster for season two?
06:18What, us all having an audio bed and Jamie Dornan?
06:21Just the face is blurred out.
06:22Yeah, just the face is blurred out, body's out.
06:23Body's full.
06:24Thank you very much.
06:27What's the most last-minute rewrite you've had to pull off?
06:30Ooh.
06:31Ooh.
06:31We had to cut, well, we had to cut like two minutes from a four-minute sketch.
06:36And it was a lot of prop stuff and it was so last-minute but it was alright.
06:39Oh, weekend update.
06:40Ooh.
06:40Yeah, my aunt was weekend update.
06:42Charlie, for all of us is weekend update.
06:43Yeah.
06:43Martin Lewis, money-saving expert.
06:45We were down to the wire.
06:47Are we talking Saturday afternoon, Saturday?
06:49Hey, hey, hey.
06:50We're talking Saturday nights.
06:51Yeah.
06:52We're talking, we're talking, look at the clock, okay?
06:57That's where you want to collapse timelines and try to go back in time just to get, I
07:02need five more minutes.
07:03Stop.
07:03Give me five more minutes.
07:05Yeah, no, no, I'm having a panic.
07:06I'm actually having a panic attack, like thinking about that.
07:08I'm shivering.
07:09Because if you read, if the comma, semicolon, dash, if it's in the wrong place, timing.
07:14Yeah.
07:14We're in the business of time.
07:16Yeah.
07:16It's live, baby.
07:18Why are you stumbling?
07:19I have goosebumps.
07:19You can cry.
07:20Yeah, you can cry.
07:20But you need to be making the edits as you're crying.
07:22Yeah.
07:23And we've got makeup artists, you know, they come and sit there.
07:25This is true.
07:25This is a power move, actually.
07:27It's gonna, literally, it's gonna haunt me.
07:30Just turn it face down.
07:31You don't have to look at it anymore.
