0:00:44and now you're most Jason no
0:00:53welcome back to the incomparable podcast
0:00:55I'm your host Jason snell isle of drafts
0:00:58I'm a draft a holic I think every single
0:01:02say hi Jason at this point I didn't soon
0:01:05I don't know what you're talking about i
0:01:06can quit anytime but we have a really
0:01:07good draft that we're going to do
0:01:10tonight and it is entertainment-related
0:01:11all the people on this are our people
0:01:15who have have watched many i would
0:01:19imagine terrible and good Saturday Night
0:01:22Live sketches over the years and you
0:01:25know one of the complaints i get about
0:01:26our drafts is that we don't do anything
0:01:28with the things we draft there like like
0:01:30I've got a whole bunch of Star Trek
0:01:31episodes that I will watch college again
0:01:35something that so-and-so by suggestion
0:01:38of of of Lisa Schmeisser who you heard
0:01:40laughing in the background there we are
0:01:42going to draft a our fantasy Saturday
0:01:45Night Live casts from the history of the
0:01:48show anybody who was a cast member or a
0:01:52featured player or I'm going to say our
0:01:54writer on the show is eligible for the
0:01:57draft and we're going up to him and
0:02:00we're going to draft i don't think i am
0:02:03actually going to have a writer but how
0:02:05does a good idea maybe we're gonna drive
0:02:08is Michael O'Donoghue who were going to
0:02:10drag that out seven each so the last
0:02:14couple rounds may go fast 7 cast members
0:02:16each inform our ultimate Fantasy
0:02:19Saturday Night Live sketch comedy i
0:02:23think i suggested seven people because I
0:02:24worried that if we did 1930s would be
0:02:26for our podcast you make you know you
0:02:28can hire someone need some you start to
0:02:30get some yeah you can get some derelict
0:02:32sin to be your featured players if you
0:02:34need to but this is difficult but you
0:02:36and just like in reacting like I just
0:02:38173 Michael Hall yeah that alone yeah
0:02:41you look at night like to thank you
0:02:42recall anyway let me let me let me

0:02:53I also specify before we before i
0:02:56introduce you
0:02:56I'm not telling you whether you're
0:02:59drafting them to assemble a team now
0:03:01whether using a time machine to draft
0:03:03them only during their appearance on the
0:03:05show I leave
0:03:07to you to decide how you want this
0:03:09imaginary thing to work
0:03:11joining us to talk about Saturday Night

0:03:37who else i mentioned Lisa Schmeisser who
0:03:39came up with this idea and suggested it
0:03:41and i thought it was a fantastic idea hi
0:03:43Lisa high and phillip michael is also
0:03:47here
0:03:47hello Phillip Michaels oh no okay yes I
0:03:51never ruin everything
0:03:52quick before we begin any format
0:03:55questions before we get started
0:03:56yes yes and i have seven days I
0:03:58suspected you might sometimes people are
0:04:03on Saturday Night Live and go on to
0:04:04better things are we working under the
0:04:06assumption that we are drafting them
0:04:07based on their performance on Saturday
0:04:10Night Live or are we uh assuming that
0:04:14Loren Michaels horribly misuse them so i
0:04:16think i think this is in I it's
0:04:19completely in your power completely in
0:04:21your power if you would like to say
0:04:22draft didn't even hear their draft
0:04:26Robert Downey jr. I was going to need to
0:04:28advance but either way if you want to
0:04:31draft Robert Downey jr. and say well I
0:04:33think he's very talented i'm going to
0:04:34assemble one could assemble the finest
0:04:36cast of people who didn't do a good job
0:04:38on saturday night live but more actually
0:04:41incredibly talented if one wanted to go
0:04:43that way and i'm leaving that to you to
0:04:45assemble a team with whatever concept
0:04:47you like
0:04:47alright alright just for you chris rock
0:04:50with any other questions from the I have
0:04:53more distance yes how about a frequent
0:04:57guest hosts who have sort of been us
0:05:00most into the cast don't like how long I
0:05:03will not allow it now
0:05:05good what about what about buck Henry
0:05:06now don't notice they were a featured
0:05:09player a cast member ordering on staff
0:05:11they are not eligible
0:05:13there you go alright sorry buck Henry oh
0:05:16I have a question okay when Tom Davis
0:05:19get this drafting we're just gonna
0:05:20two questions you Jason that is my dream
0:05:23is a procedural and Davis and Al Franken
0:05:26were first hired the powers that they
0:05:28were so skeptical about that they
0:05:29insisted that they actually split both
0:05:31the job and celery good knowledge if you
0:05:33draft one to get them both
0:05:35I you can i'll say you can draft al
0:05:38franken or you can draft Franken and
0:05:40Davis what if L Franken is drafted you
0:05:43can't draft Davis that's great reward
0:05:45you can drag it you can draft Davis but
0:05:47without Franken and I would want to
0:05:49wind-up yeah Jason I have a question yes
0:05:52well you're going to snigger at me I not
0:05:57me i'm taking this dead seriously take
0:05:59pills your body is your competitors who
0:06:01were I money you go ahead because I I've
0:06:04actually lost my cream
0:06:06my question is strategy yes are we
0:06:10restricted to just core cast or are
0:06:13people who did interstitial bits during
0:06:16the show regularly valid choices you
0:06:19want to draft the muppets money is that
0:06:21what you're asking is it jack handey
0:06:23rafter I'm saying there's Albert Brooks
0:06:25and Jim Henson who both wrote things for
0:06:27saturday I've these are usually the
0:06:29things that come up during during the
0:06:31show and what I'd say is i'll probably
0:06:32let you have somebody like that in the
0:06:34idea of your imaginary show that you
0:06:36will have interstitial films by that but
0:06:38you're making a huge mistake you can
0:06:39choose one of them 11 interstitial film
0:06:42person if you want to fill that spot
0:06:43that's like a utility player slot in the
0:06:45fantasy fulfilled if you want anything i
0:06:48would like to report that I have no
0:06:49questions i would i would recommend and
0:06:51encourage that people also considered
0:06:53that this is a cast that they're
0:06:55fielding and so you you're gonna need
0:06:56somebody to do the news you're going to
0:06:58need people to be in the sketches who
0:06:59fill various roles in the sketches so
0:07:02just keep that in mind
0:07:03I'll judge you on that her and my
0:07:05judgments mean nothing
0:07:06any further questions about draft policy
0:07:09before we begin our we also drafting a
0:07:12band
0:07:12Jason no ok we'll be doing a snake draft
0:07:16no it will not be a snake travel it be a
0:07:19random draft will it will be aiive so I
0:07:22selected the order at random
0:07:24I guess my only question yes I've come
0:07:26up with one once if if time allows and
0:07:29only if time allows once we've assembled
0:07:30our cast
0:07:31can we also each pick our ideal host for
0:07:34the premiere season virus Evelyn gasps
0:07:36yes thank you
0:07:38uh and and there's one for the rule
0:07:40before we get started
0:07:41which is I'm going to spot everybody is
0:07:45phil hartman in the first round if you
0:07:46would like phil hartman you can take
0:07:50phil hartman in the first round if you
0:07:52would opt not to add a a phil hartman oh

0:08:09end of the draft at the end at the end
0:08:12of the drought that's bogus
0:08:15no alright so here we go like the idea
0:08:18of the universe with infinite phil
0:08:19hartman Hartman's Jason I have a
0:08:22question

0:08:30later time can you draft uh either
0:08:33multiple versions of Al Franken that you

0:10:53where he was so successful I think he's
0:10:55brilliant where I going to draft to phil
0:10:58hartman I would be debating between an
0:11:00unfrozen caveman lawyer phil hartman or
0:11:02the the announcer on-screen talent in

0:12:03all right not that is the draft order
0:12:05and now with on Phil Hartman taken by
0:12:07everybody except lex will get mr.
0:12:09relevance of saturday night live with
0:12:11the final pick of the draft we will
0:12:13start with Monty Monty you've already
0:12:16chosen Phil Hartman from Saturday Night
0:12:18Live
0:12:18what's your next pick well I believe
0:12:21that a good saturday night live cast has
0:12:24somebody who's kind of a force of nature
0:12:25who just draw everyone's high so i'm
0:12:31going to pick Eddie Murphy I mm maybe
0:12:34not the best cast around him at the time
0:12:36but i believe i can do better
0:12:39I'll serve his talents better by being
0:12:41on the Monte Saturday Night Live caso
0:12:43eddie murphy and that'll also give me
0:12:45some of the more successful post
0:12:47Saturday Night Live movies
0:12:49ok sure anymore be gigantic talent came
0:12:53obviously came to fame on Saturday Night
0:12:55Live actually right when i started
0:12:57watching Saturday Night Live so it left
0:12:59a quite an impression and I had him
0:13:00rated highly on my board famously does
0:13:02not like Saturday Night Live it has not
0:13:04gone back for any of the reunion shows
0:13:06now it's interesting I but anybody
0:13:09because a lot of strange one episode one
0:13:12year after he left
0:13:13oh ok like the next year about you but
0:13:15it was the next year and and I remember
0:13:17his opening monologue was he had he had
0:13:19he did Beverly Hills Cop II was still on
0:13:21the show I think and then he had a
0:13:23string of bad movies I know surprising
0:13:25for Eddie Murphy yeah and so he came
0:13:27back and that the joke was whether they
0:13:28can I have my job back and then then
0:13:31there it was Phil it's your pick
0:13:34you've got Phil Hartman fast-talking
0:13:36forties announcer phil hartman friends
0:13:38are not live
0:13:39what's your next pick well jason i think
0:13:43i'm going to pick someone who can play a
0:13:46lot of roles do some impressions dual
0:13:48just do some of the writing load creates
0:13:51some characters I'm taking dan Aykroyd
0:13:54alright you may live in that deck where
0:13:57your reasoning any any color to add to
0:13:59the completely it well we often think
0:14:02immediate Nixon you need a Nixon you
0:14:05need Jimmy
0:14:06Carter you need a fast-talking of fish
0:14:08in a blender sell you need you need a
0:14:10slightly you need her window glass we
0:14:13need someone who can balance the
0:14:14fast-talking forties and honestly
0:14:16because people continue to age after
0:14:19they leave the show we think of the dan
0:14:21Aykroyd of today who will do anything
0:14:22for a dollar
0:14:23we're in a vineyard sorry whereas the
0:14:26dan Aykroyd of from 1970 boxes love
0:14:29doesn't come cheap from nineteen seventy
0:14:32five to nineteen seventy-nine was was
0:14:33quite an inventive performer and quite a
0:14:36quite a great comedy writer and I think
0:14:40that's forgotten by today's no nothing
0:14:42kids did he also do the Carter sketch we
0:14:43talk the guy down from the passages get
0:14:46some great
0:14:47yeah that's a good 1i I had him really
0:14:50high on my board to a great pic Lex it's
0:14:53your choice you have nothing
0:14:55I don't know but what I sense you might
0:14:58have somebody ready to go for your first
0:15:00pick my first cast member i feel like i
0:15:03know SNL cast is complete without a very
0:15:07accomplished impressionist but there's
0:15:10you can make a mistake like Darrell
0:15:12Hammond was on the show very long time
0:15:13and was an excellent impressionist but
0:15:15wasn't good in other sketches i found
0:15:17Dana Carvey however who I'm taking is my
0:15:21first thing i did not have that problem
0:15:23and excellent sketch actor and also an
0:15:25incredible a perfect impressionist so I
0:15:29need a new car because I feel like he
0:15:30could handle anybody we need to to
0:15:32impersonate in this non-existent season
0:15:34of SNL Dana Carvey Dana Carvey lives not
0:15:37too far from me actually strange
0:15:39planning and I had him rated really
0:15:42highly to people people forget you know
0:15:44he went on to do lots of you know less
0:15:47interesting things of nothing can stand
0:15:49up comedy writing down what boy he he he
0:15:55was so versatile and did all the
0:15:56characters and is the definitive you
0:15:59know George Bush of that era you know ya
0:16:01didn't did the anybody who did George
0:16:03Bush impression was doing an impression
0:16:04of data cartridge absolutely voice
0:16:06didn't sound anything like the actual
0:16:08president out but he distilled his
0:16:10essence perfect yeah which is the best
0:16:12kind of himym impersonation quite
0:16:14frankly I can't believe that he's still
0:16:16doing shopping rock
0:16:17I feel like that mistake but i'm not i'm
0:16:19not drafting was a great schedule IV you
0:16:21only ever had about 20 minutes of
0:16:22stand-up material
0:16:24yeah i like that i like the Christmas
0:16:26carols I'm doing fine leave me and
0:16:28doesn't just go away
0:16:30all right Dana Carvey is on lexus cast
0:16:33Lisa and God so I have a theory about
0:16:35SNL cast in general which is that you've
0:16:38got three interoperable interoperating
0:16:40contingents and in order for a cast to
0:16:42jail and be good
0:16:43you've got to have a hefty contingent of
0:16:45utility players but you also have to
0:16:48have a few brainy weirdos who are who
0:16:51brings you bring a little edge and
0:16:52something something smart to the
0:16:54sketches and elevate a premise into
0:16:57something that's repeatable or into
0:16:58something that really captures a moment
0:17:00or an idea and then you've got to have
0:17:02your agents of chaos which are the those
0:17:04are the wild cards that you can throw
0:17:05into a sketch and they take things in
0:17:07completely different directions because
0:17:08of the energy they give off and their
0:17:11ability to throw themselves into their
0:17:12work
0:17:13I feel like I'm listening to a brief
0:17:14history of the universe here with
0:17:16Stephen Hawking it's not even kind of
0:17:19holiday drink more
0:17:20let me tell you about comedy
0:17:24well what I'm saying is i'm driving
0:17:27nation to pass and my first pick is Bill
0:17:29Murray
0:17:29yeah yeah yeah I had him rated first on
0:17:32the board
0:17:33I am I love him know you talked about
0:17:37how you love him the middle i do love
0:17:39him and I think I think he's
0:17:41extraordinarily generous and some of his
0:17:42sketches to like you watch him with
0:17:44Gilda Radner and it's beautiful
0:17:46especially the lisa loopner todd
0:17:47sketches sure and I also greatly enjoyed
0:17:51every bit seated on on weekend update'
0:17:53and I think he brings a really weird
0:17:56energy and you kind of have to have one
0:17:57person in the cast who unsettles a
0:18:00portion of the population refill so

0:18:20Groundhog Day Ghostbusters is a very
0:18:23good quality screen
0:18:24he was also in like the second best
0:18:26comedy movie of the nineteen nineties
0:18:27Rushmore quick change
0:18:29on Android chain again quick change
0:18:31which is also quite good I look back on
0:18:34his sketches and yes he worked well with
0:18:37rap but the Saturday Night Live stuff is
0:18:41not his best work
0:18:42mmm i also like to kind of a kind of
0:18:45OneNote i also enjoyed it because he
0:18:46didn't like Chevy Chase and well I mean
0:18:48I well that doesn't narrow helping
0:18:50people who don't like Chevy Chase Lisa

0:19:42and Harry's can take care of that
0:19:45Harry's makes their own blades actually
0:19:47bought the factory in Germany where they
0:19:49make the blades
0:19:50this is a thing that happens in the
0:19:52razor industry like it so much you buy
0:19:54the company they bought the factory
0:19:56these are German blades crafted by
0:19:57experts I've got a bunch of these blades
0:20:00they are great
0:20:01it comes with this neat little handle
0:20:04the little stainless steel handle that
0:20:06Harry sends also really nice and then
0:20:09there's the hairies shaving cream which
0:20:11oh it's so good it is this
0:20:14I'm somebody always always buys uh
0:20:16unscented everything because these awful
0:20:20shaving musky sense linger for the rest
0:20:23of the day and I'm I'm smelling it
0:20:25because you know you shave right under
0:20:26your nose where your smeller is Harry's
0:20:29shaving cream is a light mint smell and
0:20:34its pleasant when you're shaping and

0:20:38gone which is really great
0:20:40it's a very nice shaving cream as well
0:20:42works

0:20:44means i can actually squeeze it out into
0:20:46a little bottle and take it with me
0:20:48through airport security which is also
0:20:50nice so I have lots of really nice

0:22:37show

0:22:45show and
0:22:46pretty much whoever winds up in the cast

0:22:53even even when it wasn't the best
0:22:55combination of of cast the sketches were
0:22:58pretty good under her head writing

0:23:18well yes I I will go with you and and

0:23:52Meyers do all right now I'm okay with
0:23:54that
0:23:55yeah alright fair enough all right Tina
0:23:57Fey is off the board i am going to go as
0:24:00as somebody started watching saturday
0:24:02night live in like nineteen eighty-two
0:24:04although of the period where dick ever
0:24:08Saul ran the show instead of Lorne
0:24:11Michaels is not considered one of the
0:24:13high points of the series there were
0:24:14some very interesting cast members in
0:24:17there including Eddie Murphy who was
0:24:19already taken by Monty I'm gonna I'm
0:24:22gonna pick somebody from this era near
0:24:24and dear to my heart of a very talented
0:24:26person and although you think of him now
0:24:28quite differently than you did during
0:24:30that period he proved himself to be
0:24:32quite versatile in the short time that
0:24:34he was on the show I wish I could tell
0:24:37you i'm picking Gary kroger and not
0:24:40getting together it's gonna add hall for
0:24:44life but i'm going to pick Billy Crystal
0:24:47wow so Billy Crystal you look marvelous
0:24:49there will be lots of Fernando sketches
0:24:51and I don't care
0:24:52on on on my
0:24:54so I got nothing and Jason show can
0:24:56double as an Oscar telecast not they're
0:24:59going anywhere and occasionally it will
0:25:00just be a romantic comedy you know why
0:25:03yeah i was trying to sniff that statue
0:25:05of the that building in New York the
0:25:08what the Empire State Building yeah got
0:25:11too close
0:25:12yep David with our first reenactment of
0:25:14a sketch of the night there it is not
0:25:16counting all the phil hartman stuff that
0:25:18happened is actually we don't count that
0:25:21that's just we just put them on the bed
0:25:22was there wasn't even sketches Mary fire
0:25:24red good alright as we are now off to
0:25:28the third round except relax huh
0:25:30Monty what's your next pic i believe
0:25:33it's important to have somebody on your
0:25:34SNL cast the audience just likes and for
0:25:39me I don't think anyone was ever more
0:25:41just be love it by the audience than
0:25:44guild a rat snake my pic yeah all right
0:25:49also she's really funny really funny
0:25:52God is fantastic yeah if we watch that
0:25:55Gilda live movie that you know at the
0:25:58time everyone is like all we've seen as
0:26:01i know but if you watch it it's really
0:26:03sweet
0:26:04it's and and just you know the character
0:26:07work is a little richer than you got on
0:26:08the show
0:26:09she also did one of the in retrospect
0:26:11most disturbing bits ever on the show
0:26:14no the child under the dunkel nowhere
0:26:17don't want because that was pretty
0:26:18disturbing this is the first season
0:26:20where he house
0:26:22yeah she comes out and says she's
0:26:23worried about her weight but she's
0:26:24discovered this great technique where
0:26:27you just throw everything up men
0:26:30it's not being done for bully mate for
0:26:32shock it's a saying
0:26:34good news everybody I throw everything
0:26:36up now and it's it's very weird
0:26:41well that sounds great well which way
0:26:43it's like that show you get away with it
0:26:47for so much and then Eddie Murphy and
0:26:49phil hartman come out to take her away
0:26:52she's saying that she's saying that
0:26:54lovely song about saccharine the yea
0:26:58which was which was great now she was
0:27:00smiling as you can update and there was
0:27:02the actually the favorite sketch of mine
0:27:05that she's involved in
0:27:06i'm talking like this because this was
0:27:08going to be my pick
0:27:10she's never utters a word it's the way
0:27:13she dances with steve martin oh yes i
0:27:15love that i like the one where she talks
0:27:17into the camera within the the the
0:27:21vaguely European accent at the end and
0:27:22it makes the kissy faces to that's
0:27:24another beautiful one
0:27:25alright Gilda Radner board and Monty has
0:27:29has a gun what every great draft pick
0:27:32does which is make other people great
0:27:34Phil it's your pick you've got Phil
0:27:37Hartman and Dan Aykroyd
0:27:40well I have this theory about comedy you
0:27:45need an agent of chaos see when a man
0:27:48says that everyone less exactly like my
0:27:51old lady's man i'm not your human shield
0:27:55no I i actually agree with Lisa's there
0:28:00i think it's it's it's very solid I just
0:28:03speak to Bill Murray pic I'm going to go
0:28:05with an ass made of Bill Murray's John
0:28:07Belushi as the engine of chaos we've got
0:28:09that's why I would not pick yeah we have
0:28:12well you can you can I the podcast
0:28:14listeners haven't heard his stall over
0:28:16your pic so you can stare
0:28:17I i'm in that it's not just that I i
0:28:21pair them up
0:28:22uh with with Diana Aykroyd again and I
0:28:24thought they were great comedic
0:28:25partnership I he created a number of
0:28:29great characters he also has really the
0:28:32most expressive face I think of a lot of
0:28:36saturday night live cast members i
0:28:38remember reading a review of Blues
0:28:40Brothers where they decried the fact
0:28:41that you've got a movie where you've
0:28:43covered John Belushi's eyes with
0:28:45sunglasses for the for the entirety of
0:28:47the picture and how stupid that was
0:28:49alright that just amplifies the effect
0:28:53when i get taken off and then Carrie
0:28:54Fisher to gun
0:28:56oh sure but up until then
0:28:59yeah i just don't see that as a valid
0:29:01argument yeah I think he's a perfectly
0:29:04great comedic force and again someone
0:29:07you can drop into sketches and just get
0:29:09the hell out of the way as you have to
0:29:12if he has a sword exactly what i was
0:29:14going to say that the the various
0:29:16samurai sketches you describe them
0:29:17they're not funny and then you watch
0:29:19them in there they're quite quite funny
0:29:21so John Belushi is my pic right Lisa my
0:29:26brother but it's not so much a problem
0:29:28with John Belushi I just feel like he
0:29:29sucks all the air out of the out of the
0:29:30sketch the same way Eddie Murphy does
0:29:32where there are people who are just
0:29:33working on such a different plane that
0:29:36it's them plus the three or four people
0:29:37standing around them you hear what she
0:29:39said about your pic money
0:29:40yeah you don't put in every sketch but
0:29:42yea or three sketches tonight you say
0:29:44and now here's the John Belushi or Eddie
0:29:47Murphy sketch them and it's a good idea
0:29:50plugs because they recognize the
0:29:51catchphrase know you have a tiny that
0:29:53you're talking just a seven-person cast
0:29:54which is pretty small so there are a lot
0:29:56of rules
0:29:57yeah Lex I have this theory back comedy
0:30:00Jason that night here eating you can
0:30:04kind of any I'm gonna call the agent of
0:30:06chaos
0:30:06oh and I'll tell you that's really smart
0:30:09Lex I'm excited that fill eventually
0:30:11decided not to take will ferrell so that
0:30:13i can right now i will ferrell another
0:30:15groundling and you know he does i think
0:30:18have that same thing you have to worry
0:30:20about sometimes with Belushi or with a
0:30:21Murphy where he can be very dominating
0:30:24in a scene and what's so weird is just
0:30:26as an aside if you see Will Ferrell do
0:30:28improv sketch comedy live he tends to
0:30:31play extremely quiet mellow characters
0:30:33and when he was on SNL he very rarely
0:30:34did well but he's just so funny and so
0:30:38willing to do anything in particular you
0:30:41want to be loved by the audience and he
0:30:43totally was anything he was on the phone
0:30:45screen you were just like yes let's see
0:30:47what we will do now so I'm I'm delighted
0:30:49to be able to add him to to my one
0:30:51person cast prior so now i have to Dana
0:30:54and well where they're gonna work great
0:30:55together
0:30:56i love i love will ferrell and i love
0:30:59that he commits fully commit stand
0:31:01sketchies in there is nothing more that
0:31:03you can say about Will Ferrell and he is
0:31:06unlike unlike many other actors when he
0:31:08is into something he will go all the way
0:31:11into whatever it is and you can see it
0:31:12on the screen so that's a great pic and
0:31:15if there's a knock against them and
0:31:16again i'm picking up second here I like
0:31:17him I love him but sometimes these
0:31:20characters can blend too much together
0:31:21there's a little bit too much and you
0:31:22can see this morning movies i think that
0:31:24we could even as an algorithm little bit
0:31:25too much okay I'm gonna be a blow
0:31:27already yelling a lot time
0:31:28character but when he distinguishes just
0:31:31on he's i would say even incomparable
0:31:34interested there was an interview where
0:31:36he said that he was attracted to
0:31:38characters who had unearned hubris
0:31:40because II sort of Ron Burgundy ricky
0:31:42bobby and i forget the George W Bush
0:31:45good sort of his trilogy as sort of his
0:31:49trilogy of idiots series so again George
0:31:52W Bush two terms of a calm now I like
0:31:55what I love is in the more cowbell
0:31:57sketch when he begins banging on it
0:31:58spitefully and and just hit glares at
0:32:01christopher walken boys will you a
0:32:03cowbell and and the lucky directions
0:32:05just all god that's something laughing
0:32:07everytime i watch that there was a
0:32:08sketch right after the September left
0:32:11September 11th attacks where he plays
0:32:14the super Patriot guys great a red white
0:32:17and blue bikini bottom and it's like an
0:32:21American flag again the boardroom really
0:32:23it's not a great sketch in the sense
0:32:26that it but he just because he commits
0:32:28yeah it's just like the host of that
0:32:30episode seann william scott the host of
0:32:31that episode I don't remember it all
0:32:33leads to gonna go with yes and nobody
0:32:36keep it together in the end that's the
0:32:37same problem the and the reason I would
0:32:39never drafted me Fallon spoiler but
0:32:40nobody can keep it together in those
0:32:42sketches but we'll we'll get it
0:32:44mhm ligaments alright will ferrell great
0:32:48choice
0:32:48Lex Lisa what's your next pick you Bill
0:32:50Murray and of course phil hartman i have
0:32:52Anna gasps tires nextech mm Wow little
0:32:56early
0:32:57no it's not it's not really because just
0:33:02it's just ok she's a great female
0:33:04utility player for one and two she goes
0:33:08toe to cheek went toe-to-toe with will
0:33:09ferrell a lot of occasions
0:33:11her work is Robert Goulet's daughter on
0:33:13your show she doesn't know better work
0:33:17is Robert Goulet's dog in the the pirate
0:33:21musical he did read ships of spain read
0:33:23the ship's secret red skies a spoon or
0:33:27whatever it's called that her Martha
0:33:29Stewart was great i love I loved her NPR
0:33:31for NPR hostess
0:33:34oh she's dish but you know what really
0:33:36nailed it for me was when she plays
0:33:38Christopher Walken's girlfriend in a
0:33:39lover's sketch and her job
0:33:42this just amplify how weird it is and
0:33:44she and she does she does a great job of
0:33:47letting the three of them go completely
0:33:48off the hook without getting lost in the
0:33:51sketch repairing boring in the process
0:33:52and I think you and there's that there's
0:33:55an innate she plays really well with
0:33:57others because she also she's great with
0:33:59Chris Parnell when she does stuff with
0:34:00him too and she brings an innate dignity
0:34:03to everything to all of our characters
0:34:05and I think you kind of need someone
0:34:06like that too because when you have that
0:34:07is here as your straight man or your or
0:34:09your utility player it lets everybody
0:34:11else shine a little bit more
0:34:12David you're you're up what's your pick
0:34:14you you have you also have Phil Hartman
0:34:16and tina fey well I have this theory
0:34:19about agents of chaos
0:34:23I'm gonna pick Bernie kopell with no no
0:34:26haha well my next pic was gonna be Gilda
0:34:32and then soak a cross her off who's
0:34:34gonna pick in a guess i er
0:34:35ok so i had to go i'm gonna go with kate
0:34:38mckinnon wow who always travel will I
0:34:43mean she's fearless and she is quite
0:34:47literally nuts she's great
0:34:49yeah she's wonderful her Ellen is
0:34:52amazing even again even in the worst
0:34:54sketches of the worst episodes this year
0:34:57and I didn't think this was a very good
0:34:59year but you couldn't take your eyes off
0:35:02her when she was on stage just being
0:35:04weird whenever she does the little
0:35:06russian lady on the news
0:35:08I'm just dying and and I me and you can
0:35:12see that glint of insanity in her eyes
0:35:14almost all the time especially when
0:35:16she's doing Ellen or when she's in in
0:35:19the bar at the end of the episodes but
0:35:21that sketch where she had she's making
0:35:23out with louie ck oh my god thats yes so
0:35:28I want I want someone fearless and nuts
0:35:31and and and someone we haven't seen
0:35:33everything of yet i think i think
0:35:35there's she's ready to go to the next
0:35:38level her Billie Jean King impression
0:35:40this year
0:35:41oh my god yeah Kate McKinnon is my
0:35:43favorite thing about the current season
0:35:44water
0:35:45no she's gonna have a currencies right
0:35:46now the last season I also really
0:35:48enjoyed the Dyke and fat sketch
0:35:50oh god yeah yeah and i stopped watching
0:35:53certain that live years
0:35:55go and don't know what you're talking
0:35:57about anyway
0:36:02hey Whitney brown and the next 1i I've
0:36:06drafted everyone from the 1970s when I
0:36:10dream and I i started off with the with
0:36:13Billy Crystal there and since my next
0:36:15pic i think that Billy Crystal
0:36:17maybe he's our friend to play maybe he
0:36:19needs a friend to play with maybe a
0:36:20little bit to current what I'm finding
0:36:21is there some interesting character
0:36:23issues on the board now where there's
0:36:24some people who aren't widely liked even
0:36:26though they were quite funny and we
0:36:28haven't picked them yet and I'm gonna
0:36:29pick somebody who was not widely liked
0:36:31and anybody can get nothing somebody on
0:36:34Lisa's team because i'm going to chase
0:36:36Chevy you know I mean he's by all
0:36:40accounts very difficult to work with but
0:36:41you know what he did he would he's a
0:36:43very funny fellow and especially
0:36:44historically was a very funny fellow in
0:36:47many things and I I'm gonna have him
0:36:49fall down a lot and he made get horrible
0:36:51back pain and need to take drugs which
0:36:53will make his behavior even more radical
0:36:54but we'll just deal with it when we get
0:36:56there so you taking on a lot of baggage
0:36:58she's yeah yeah I would not want to be
0:37:00in your green room says the man who has
0:37:02John Belushi
0:37:03yeah yeah I know I'm gonna I'm gonna get
0:37:07those chubby chaser Billy Crystal
0:37:08sketches are going to be awesome
0:37:10that's all I'm saying I'm gonna tell
0:37:11Jason you know I struggled mightily with
0:37:13my list there are four names that I had
0:37:14to pull off an already tonight but I got
0:37:16a lot of backups but Chevy was the one
0:37:18who I did not put on the list but kept
0:37:20contemplating so I respect the choice
0:37:21but i couldn't make it i have to that
0:37:23that are are actually my two highest
0:37:24rated left on the board now my one
0:37:26highest-rated left on the board that
0:37:27it's sort of like I like this person i
0:37:29think they were very funny i know that
0:37:30they were incredibly difficult to work
0:37:32with and it's kind of hard because like
0:37:33I'm picking this really funny jerk by
0:37:35him you know he was a really funny jerk
0:37:38emphasize that were in
0:37:40how about is the theory know what it's
0:37:43like here you see Reno doesn't matter
0:37:45agents of chaos days i have no theories
0:37:47are you concerned that is going to leave
0:37:49your show everyone here well if Jason
0:37:53gets a pic like let's go get a
0:37:54compensatory pick a 20-metre sleeves
0:37:56after you can replace them with film
0:37:58hello
0:38:00yeah exactly LOL that's okay i'll
0:38:02replace them with Carrie Kruger it'll be
0:38:04funny contributing with Brian
0:38:05doyle-murray time for a break to tell
0:38:11you about another sponsor it strobo now
0:38:12I told you about drug before this is the
0:38:14story i have a server in my house it's a
0:38:17mac mini I and I was chaining hard
0:38:20drives off of it I had a hard drive for
0:38:21media like movies and and and TV shows
0:38:24and music and then I need to backup for
0:38:26that and I also need to backup for the
0:38:28main computers boot drive and i ended up
0:38:30with three external hard drives chained
0:38:33off of that they'll have their own fans
0:38:35they all have their own plugs they all
0:38:36have their own power sources it was
0:38:38ridiculous and they're backing up each
0:38:41other and it's it was it was ridiculous
0:38:43it was stupid and now what I have is a
0:38:46drop oh that's right
0:38:48drobo is the storage robot it is a big
0:38:51box no storage and it's redundant
0:38:53storage because it's a very clever box
0:38:56and so if one of the hard drives dies
0:38:58the data is secure you pull out that
0:39:01hard drive put in a new hard drive
0:39:03everything continues to work just fine
0:39:05so now i have one box it's got huge
0:39:08amount of storage far more than those
0:39:10individual daisy-chain drives did and
0:39:13I'm really happy with it so that's just
0:39:15one of the many products that drobo
0:39:17offers the 5n is a really interesting
0:39:20product its network storage it's got
0:39:22five days you can pack it full of
0:39:24storage and because it's on your network
0:39:26not only can you access it from anywhere
0:39:29on your network but it actually will let
0:39:32you stream video to your TV Mac or iOS
0:39:35devices using clacks so it's it's own
0:39:38little computer server thing on its own
0:39:41doesn't need to be attached to another
0:39:43computer to function pretty cool
0:39:45now the new third-generation drobo I've
0:39:47told you about before
0:39:48that's afford a model attaches by usb3
0:39:51fast redundant localstorage same deal if
0:39:55you've got a mac or pc and you want to
0:39:57attach this device to it you'll get lots
0:40:00of storage you'll get redundant safety
0:40:01if those drives died you know drives are
0:40:05going to die
0:40:06it's inevitable it's a feeling having a
0:40:09little birds and the bees discussion
0:40:10here you know hard drives sometimes
0:40:13and and when they do you might lose your
0:40:17data but if you're using a drobo the
0:40:19data will be on one of the other drives
0:40:21too so you just pull the drive out chuck
0:40:23it put in a new Drive boom you're back
0:40:26up and running
0:40:26I really I I never want to go back to
0:40:29daisy chaining drives off of my off on
0:40:31my mac i want a drobo either attached to
0:40:34a server or something like the 5n that
0:40:36is on my network and I can access it and
0:40:38it's fast it's redundant and it's got
0:40:41lots of storage more storage than I'm
0:40:42ever gonna need I think I hope even all
0:40:45my old podcast archives and stuff like
0:40:47that so you need to join the drobo world

0:41:32almost everyone who's ever done Weekend
0:41:34Update except the Charles rocket years
0:41:36but so year right let's see well enough
0:41:39you did i'm taking Amy Poehler I'm
0:41:43intelligent I almost picture this
0:41:46picture and ask around I know what is my
0:41:49next pick she's proven to be a quite
0:41:52versatile funny person
0:41:53yeah she's one of the rare Weekend
0:41:55Update anchors who can also do a whole
0:41:57bunch of sketch stuff and like
0:41:59everything about Kate McKennon obviously
0:42:01tlie fearless then the note i have in my
0:42:03draft sheet is her brand-new Farrell
0:42:05geniuses like now was raised in the
0:42:07woods by methylbenzene members unpack
0:42:11that listeners yeah
0:42:12wow I know my favorite sketch of amy
0:42:15poehler's is the one where she's nine
0:42:16months pregnant and they start playing
0:42:18she's in the bar and they start playing
0:42:19great government i'm no angel and she
0:42:21seductively dances around the bar just
0:42:23knocking her belly this way in that it's
0:42:26hysterical because it's like two minutes
0:42:28of physical comedy and look it up just
0:42:32hot it's great it's great i still have
0:42:34flashbacks to her doing the the it was
0:42:37during weekend update and tina fey's
0:42:39they're doing Sarah Palin and she jumps
0:42:43out in front of the desk in a and you
0:42:45just doing this rap song about also
0:42:47incredibly pregnant when she does the
0:42:49rap song yeah she get like two days
0:42:51later or something like that because
0:42:54yeah she did a show like right before
0:42:55she went to the hospital i think that
0:42:57was the 1i I hate to be the guy who
0:43:00keeps going oh yeah there i guess
0:43:03they're okay but I'm told you love it
0:43:05admit all know that guy this is me this
0:43:09is who I am
0:43:10welcome to my brace yourself and your
0:43:12own ways when i asked the question about
0:43:14are we drafting them for their Saturday
0:43:17Night Live stuff for their total body of
0:43:19work now I would do this and I i had Amy
0:43:21Poehler in mind this but I really didn't
0:43:23like her everything live I i actually
0:43:26didn't watch Parks and Rec for like a
0:43:28season and the half because i thought oh
0:43:30there's that person I didn't care for
0:43:32when she was on Saturday Night Live
0:43:34I realize this makes me a terrible
0:43:35person i'm at odds with the country i
0:43:37can live without not just desk yeah
0:43:39actually skipping the first use of Parks
0:43:41and Rec was the right choice
0:43:43nice guy have not actually gone back and
0:43:45watched it as it turns yellow though
0:43:47don't go back on the friend i'm not
0:43:49gonna because i unhappy with the show
0:43:51where it is
0:43:52I much prefer her on Parks and
0:43:53Recreation well I love Amy Poehler
0:43:55everything she's done and really just
0:43:58for founding the UCB she is one of the
0:44:01godmothers of all the comedy i listen to
0:44:05these days so well there you go all
0:44:07right fill it is it's your pick you've
0:44:09got dan aykroyd and john belushi a
0:44:12classic do a plus Phil Hartman will be
0:44:14there in some form world and yes what's
0:44:16your pick
0:44:17I was hoping to have Gilda Radner in
0:44:19this guest yes I'm recreating the
0:44:21original cast only without Chevy Chase
0:44:23and Morris Iranian are you know and now
0:44:27we're not going in that direction either
0:44:28i need to to balance out the gender a
0:44:34little bit and I I since I'm tonight
0:44:36guild and i think i'll take the second
0:44:39funniest lady who's ever appeared on the
0:44:41choke mystery film i'm taking Christian
0:44:43why oh god damn it you can't even say
0:44:45your last name right you can take well I
0:44:47did we like Louie I'm gonna disagree
0:44:50with your choice on second funniest but
0:44:53well you you're free to I I like it's
0:44:56freaky
0:44:56it's a free country and I I like her
0:44:58versatility again she improves every
0:45:02sketch that she's in even if its thin
0:45:06material which would often was in her in
0:45:09Herrera and Californians yeah okay but I
0:45:13don't even count as material she i think
0:45:17is a is is a solid choice and one of the
0:45:19few modern-day performers that I would
0:45:21deign to put my cast
0:45:24wow I think I'm just suffering from
0:45:26fatigue with her
0:45:27well I'm sure she was in everything for
0:45:29a while because she was so talented and
0:45:31the stuff around a lever that she could
0:45:33deliver so everyone was putting during
0:45:35anything even if it was just a wheeler
0:45:37cross the camera for like 30 while she
0:45:40was changing into relatively
0:45:41inexperienced yeah same here
0:45:43yeah exactly right Kristen Wiig on over
0:45:46who is the second funniest lady then
0:45:49oh my gosh well I we've already thrown
0:45:51out Gilda Amy Poehler hi ana gasteyer
0:45:55and the guests are gonna start guess we
0:45:56haven't talked about Jane Curtin yet but
0:45:59we not only have I don't nobody talk
0:46:00about her until we know what we're
0:46:02talking about
0:46:03better yet yes going on yeah yeah I'm
0:46:05just saying I'm just saying I have a
0:46:06feeling that she'll be mentioned at some
0:46:08point
0:46:09Thank You Gilda i think is a cage match
0:46:11going on between a bunch of a bunch of
0:46:13people for number two
0:46:14yep and kristen wiig is that that person
0:46:17so thank you lad allocating my opinion
0:46:19lets you have Dana Carvey and will
0:46:21ferrell who's your next thing and no
0:46:22Phil Hartman well my next pic was
0:46:23planned to be Kristen Wiig Oh since I
0:46:27can't that was that you suggested
0:46:29infinite phil hartman as I seen that
0:46:31would be the people person everyone fun
0:46:32let me tell you about the three greatest
0:46:33moments in my life
0:46:34the three greatest moments of my life
0:46:36when my my wife agreed to marry me when
0:46:39I saw my baby daughter for the first
0:46:41time
0:46:42I was she was one year old and when I
0:46:46stole lexus pic right yeah thank you
0:46:49yeah so here's with and and the reason
0:46:52by the way that I would pictures i do
0:46:54think that she was incredibly versatile
0:46:55and like will ferrell commits to
0:46:59everything she's in full full bore
0:47:01younger the only the only player i could
0:47:04think of on SNL who Lauren Michaels
0:47:07danced with on their final episode but
0:47:09so I i still feel like I need a woman
0:47:11and i'm lori michaels has no soul so you
0:47:14guys sure like Gilly a lot i have my
0:47:17backups for for each person and i have
0:47:19three backup options i'm going to do my
0:47:21thinking out loud I think I know which
0:47:22way I'm going to land though when Phil
0:47:25races question before we started about
0:47:27are we doing them for their Saturday
0:47:28Night Live careers or their posts mill
0:47:29careers like Julia Louie Dreyfus much
0:47:32funnier not on SNL than honest men like
0:47:34veep exceptional performances but i'm
0:47:36not going to draft because i want your
0:47:38SNL performance to count so now I'm down
0:47:40to Cheri Oteri and my route off both of
0:47:45whom I can find annoying much faster
0:47:47than I can find Kristen Wiig annoying
0:47:49and I think that for pure versatility
0:47:53i'm going to lean a little bit towards
0:47:55Maya and I'm going to take her i do
0:47:57think that Terry is excellent especially
0:48:00when paired with will ferrell and I
0:48:02think that I don't know what hell
0:48:03happened to Sheri Oteri future lesson
0:48:04i'll have some mistakes have been made
0:48:06but i'm going to take my Rudolph because
0:48:07she's so versatile and so smart and so
0:48:09intellectually funny i think in the
0:48:12characters that she doesn't the way she
0:48:13does that because clearly she sounds and
0:48:15looks nothing like Oprah but she still
0:48:17channels oprah i agree with everything
0:48:19you said about my every day off
0:48:20yeah she's great associate Cheri Oteri
0:48:24is in three things this year alone just
0:48:30one of these one likes it banks and
0:48:32which restaurant she said she's up she's
0:48:35on foursquare a lot he did an episode of
0:48:39hot in cleveland well Mazel Tov oh yeah
0:48:42oh and in fact that two episodes of the
0:48:44new normal
0:48:44so keep on working cheerio time i did
0:48:47see here on the new normal
0:48:48I like to think she killed a man it's
0:48:50the romantic in me
0:48:51alright mile Rudolph is the pic from Lex
0:48:57Lisa it's your turn what would you like
0:48:59to do next
0:49:00I had been planning on picking my room
0:49:03you two other knives around now you
0:49:07couldn't tell from the shriek know where
0:49:10the rocking back and forth in my seat
0:49:12my little stopping and distress huh well
0:49:18i'm going to pick my last utility player
0:49:21of the night and that's Bill Hader yeah
0:49:23you could make a board that one off the
0:49:26board because I one of the reasons i was
0:49:30going to pick my Rudolph is in addition
0:49:32to the fact that she's musically
0:49:34talented which you do need on a cast and
0:49:36the fact that she's great at nailing
0:49:40impressions because i like to i'll
0:49:41select Donatella Versace is she has this
0:49:43big warm streak of kindness running
0:49:46through in that that comes out a lot of
0:49:47her work and in a strange way bill hater
0:49:51has that going on to like even when he
0:49:53does Keith what's his face from Dateline
0:49:56that is my favorite thing that anyone
0:49:58has ever done in the world more
0:49:59affectionate Morrison Morrison it's more
0:50:02affectionate than mocking right you know
0:50:05yeah and and I may be the only person
0:50:09America who really loves us his pistol
0:50:11on sketches but I think those are
0:50:13hilarious for the state and just again
0:50:15how kind he is when he's busy just you
0:50:17notice discussing human fire hydrant or
0:50:19on DJ baby bok choy who has hands like
0:50:23little dumplings or anyway he's got a
0:50:27nice unhinged energy he does a bunch of
0:50:28really great impressions and he's got I
0:50:31think that strong sense of that strong
0:50:33streak of of court kindness going
0:50:34through him and that makes him endlessly
0:50:36appealing to watch for me the reason i
0:50:39love the keith morrison sketches and Oh
0:50:41big fish because who doesn't
0:50:45impersonation of key the most random
0:50:50thing I explained what happened it like
0:50:52on Sundays he would get up and he would
0:50:54watch the show with his wife on the tivo
0:50:56like that was basically how they would
0:50:57spend their time in the more like when
0:50:59like after he got home from work and
0:51:00they get the the next day and he'd be
0:51:02kind of stumbling around
0:51:03and he would need something kind of
0:51:05brainless to watch and watch that he
0:51:06just kept like this kinda takes
0:51:08inordinate amount of pleasure and in
0:51:10really so tell me this horrible story so
0:51:14and so that's what he did did he kill
0:51:16you with kindness
0:51:19are you gonna get on with kindness know
0:51:22with a shovel and and and that's when I
0:51:25found him
0:51:26wow alright just bill hader he was on my
0:51:28list too good yeah very good pic let's
0:51:30look I heard I heard something out there
0:51:32I David it's your turn what do you what
0:51:34do you have for us
0:51:36well I was really torn between Kate
0:51:38McCann and Bill Hader for the last pic
0:51:40so that he was gonna be my next pick 20
0:51:43so I'm gonna go instead with Chris
0:51:46Parnell wow you can well he can be weird
0:51:52but he can be straight man when he needs
0:51:54to be and you know he just sort of he
0:51:59can be a utility player but he can also
0:52:01bring the bring the silly when he has
0:52:04two dominant spaceman I yeah I got that
0:52:07he is a guy who's benefited greatly from
0:52:09his post SNL career yes it will feel
0:52:11more warmly about him because he's dr.
0:52:13spaceman or he's on that he's on
0:52:16Suburgatory Suburgatory I was right for
0:52:18my gosh they're brilliant together yet
0:52:20to really look grandma Nell though is
0:52:22that he's on archer ii/iii contend with
0:52:24the right furniture but he's like he's
0:52:26the SNL cast members cast member and
0:52:28that yeah when he got fired
0:52:30you know they brought him back they
0:52:31begged and pleaded for him to get back
0:52:33on the throne he was for a time brought
0:52:35back on so like he's beloved by his
0:52:37compatriots yeah alright Chris Parnell
0:52:40interesting pic he was not on my list
0:52:43but uh but he is dr. spaceman I do like
0:52:46that so I'm gonna pick Jane Curtin who
0:52:48we just about yeah I need I need a woman
0:52:51on my cast and I've got 23 dude so far I
0:52:55think she's I think she's great
0:52:57if you look back and that in that period
0:52:59the very early SNL it is kind of amazing
0:53:02to see that the talent that was on
0:53:04display there
0:53:05I think she's really likable can hold
0:53:07her own with lots of people
0:53:09she'll be sharing space with Chevy Chase
0:53:11so what could go wrong there
0:53:13she had well she has some of the best
0:53:15reactions in the business yeah just just
0:53:18the way the way that she handled herself
0:53:20on Weekend Update was just a model that
0:53:23for anybody who i'm actually person I I
0:53:25was upset when Gilda Radner was sneaked
0:53:28away from me by money but this is also
0:53:29upsetting because she had a great
0:53:32chemistry with dan Aykroyd we have you
0:53:35haven't slept on my favorite and the
0:53:37though she hated John Belushi
0:53:40I mean there there was the legitimate
0:53:43hatred between the two of them i believe
0:53:45ya there why did she play well awesome
0:53:48because I think she could channel that
0:53:49hatred in comedy
0:53:51I also liked her because she was kind of
0:53:52a she was kind of an iconoclast within
0:53:55the cast in that she was married and
0:53:57went home to Connecticut every night and
0:53:58she's like this is a job I show up I do
0:54:00my job i do it well I go home and I like
0:54:02anything that puts the lie to the myth
0:54:04that in order to be creative and funny
0:54:06you also have to be a hot mess hurtling
0:54:08towards an early death
0:54:09mmm yeah yeah so that she's my pic uh
0:54:12unsung hero i think it's a i think
0:54:14actually and and i'm not going to say
0:54:16bad things about Gilda Radner other than
0:54:19to say that I think James other than
0:54:21other that she's awful no no that that I
0:54:24think it's a changelog words
0:54:26hey I think that it's a shame that Jane
0:54:28Curtin gets a little overlooked because
0:54:30of the presence of Gilda Radner whinging
0:54:31cream with a fantastic talent on that
0:54:34show she does because because her best
0:54:36she was a very a good straight Street
0:54:39yeah yeah and and the and you say that
0:54:42and it sounds like you're diminishing
0:54:43but being a straight man is very
0:54:45different
0:54:46yeah well Phil Hartman uses that was his
0:54:48problem was he was the straight man and
0:54:50he said nobody thinks i actually do
0:54:52anything because he didn't have breakout
0:54:54characters or anybody you can write a
0:54:55movie around her knees any persona he
0:54:57just showed up into this job well yeah
0:54:58half of Hartman sketches he was just
0:55:00like we need a guy in the sketch to be
0:55:02like all right Kenseth or whatever you
0:55:04know us safe
0:55:05the be a straight man to the wacky
0:55:07things going on and that that it's hard
0:55:09to do I think Jane Curtin doesn't get a
0:55:11lot of like love but she also has one of
0:55:14the better post SNL television careers
0:55:17in the whole history he had two very
0:55:19successful series
0:55:21yeah one of which is actually enjoyable
0:55:24I've always felt a little sorry for Jan
0:55:26hooks because I feel like Jan hooks was
0:55:28hired to be the next Jane Curtin and
0:55:29there's just a little bit of a gap you
0:55:30know no love for Caitlyn Ali Phil now I
0:55:33can alley is actually enjoyable and
0:55:35that's your right knee rocket that are
0:55:39locked their responsibilities rocking
0:55:40the Sun now that would be either you've
0:55:42cracked my color and so it was general
0:55:44curtain to me that the knock against her
0:55:46or the reason that she might have had a
0:55:47harder time getting the the actually she
0:55:49deserved is because I feel like she did
0:55:51not blend into her character's was
0:55:54shooting clearly delineate them enough i
0:55:56think in large part because she was so
0:55:57often the straight woman it she did
0:56:01often felt like you were just seeing
0:56:02Jane Curtin in a different sketch when
0:56:04she was mentioned I think that's a
0:56:05failure of the writing staff at the time
0:56:07i'll have better writers yeah they could
0:56:09only write her as the mob right now or
0:56:11as the IC interviewer night right boys
0:56:15really good and I got her
0:56:17Monty it's your turn she's mine either
0:56:20collected money is returned what do you
0:56:24have for us
0:56:25well i know i already have Eddie Murphy
0:56:26but i'm concerned i don't have enough
0:56:28camera hogs so I'm throwing mike myers
0:56:32into the oh so you don't have a business
0:56:35where this is the other person that I
0:56:37was debating picking and I was actually
0:56:39gonna pick him next even though again
0:56:41not not liked because I think he's an
0:56:43extremely funny person he's so funny and
0:56:46even his lesser characters like dieter
0:56:49still make me laugh so hard you know and
0:56:52you can pair him with phil hartman to
0:56:54say yeah I'm held boot
0:56:56nobody remembers that are coming out it
0:56:59sprockets classic sprocket sketches
0:57:01anyway the only class extracted she has
0:57:04kyle maclachlan know that's true
0:57:06mmm yeah like my popular halloween
0:57:09costume in college for a lot of people
0:57:10Mike Myers you know ya again it's hard
0:57:14to sometimes look past like your love
0:57:16gurus your loves his mic wires was I was
0:57:21a good SNL guy is best seen on SNL ever
0:57:23though was when he appeared on the
0:57:25episode that Kanye West was the musical
0:57:27guest on this was this was after Kanye
0:57:30had done his George Bush doesn't care
0:57:32about black people think next to mike
0:57:33myers during the Katrina telethon
0:57:36so Lauren was having trouble cokes and
0:57:38Kanye West to come out and they're sort
0:57:41of one of those backstage sketches and
0:57:42he's trying to get us to come out and
0:57:44then he happens upon Mike Myers was no
0:57:46longer in the cast and like I haven't
0:57:48seen you in a while and so is very fine
0:57:50Best Performance by Mike Myers on SNL
0:57:52don't know Wayne's World get you know
0:57:54they they ran into the ground in sketch
0:57:56form and then they ran into the ground
0:57:58in movie form although i really like the
0:57:59first wayne's world movie and I and I
0:58:01like the first Austin Powers movie I
0:58:03don't like it there's a history of mike
0:58:05myers running things into the ground and
0:58:08making them worse and worse and worse
0:58:09over time but that's the SNL way yeah
0:58:12but it is yes anyway and you know what
0:58:13that night right obviously that first
0:58:15Wayne's World sketch was the last sketch
0:58:18of the night at and I kind of feel like
0:58:19sometimes they put the sketches that
0:58:21they don't put the worst sketch last
0:58:24they put the weirdest sketch last first
0:58:26Wayne's World sketch was a revelation it
0:58:28was such it was the best sketch of the
0:58:30night and then of course you know the
0:58:32next week it was the first guy and they
0:58:34ran it into the ground but while Mike
0:58:36Myers was still a featured player not a
0:58:38cast member he would be the star three
0:58:41or four stitches at night
0:58:42yes I think if we're going to give Jimmy
0:58:44Fallon gun fur for breaking and watching
0:58:47him do you have to give in
0:58:48Mike Myers was with / perfected the art
0:58:52of doing the take to the camera where
0:58:54compare meet somebody you're so funny
0:58:58yep one and they designed characters
0:59:00where he could get away with that
0:59:02yeah so now their degree yeah i'm a
0:59:05cheeky monkey
0:59:06I can't oh god that carry yeah but also
0:59:10apparently the shrek movies are the
0:59:12biggest money makers in the world or
0:59:13something that right that makes me not
0:59:16going to any money for drafting that
0:59:18makes me sad for the world and so I
0:59:20married an axe murderer bill phillips
0:59:23your choice

1:01:18many wonderful catchphrases so the
1:01:19Germans would have us believe you
1:01:21guessed it Frank Stallone
1:01:23normal is awesome real-world parody were
1:01:26Bob Dole those peanut butter
1:01:30do you remember when when Norma call
1:01:33came back to host long after he'd been
1:01:35fired of course is like you know before
1:01:37they fire me but now they're there every
1:01:39back toes which means I'm the funniest
1:01:42one here tonight as he's so great he's
1:01:45still fighting and also this is not very
1:01:47germane to saturday night live but ESPN
1:01:50does the horrible espy awards because if
1:01:52there's one people one group of people
1:01:54that don't get enough recognition
1:01:56professional athlete professional
1:01:58athletes they really need their own
1:01:59award show and he hosted one year and he
1:02:03did a
1:02:04the the opening monologue was so funny
1:02:06and cutting and incisive and no one
1:02:08laughed because they keep cutting to the
1:02:10athletes staring uncomfortably at this
1:02:12man was my sweet ripping them apart find
1:02:16it on youtube is it is required viewing
1:02:20so normal Donald's right my standby that
1:02:23choice
1:02:23Lex it's your choice bill you ignorant
1:02:26slut
1:02:27yeah not the first time I've heard that
1:02:29with norm gone i'm gonna i'm gonna move
1:02:34down the list a little bit and I'm
1:02:36drafting chris farley now not because
1:02:38he's good at being fat although he is
1:02:41really really fatally like that one of
1:02:44the best but his care i mean certainly I
1:02:48mean it's hard not to love Matt Foley
1:02:49the motivational speaker but the
1:02:51contract the characters that I love from
1:02:54chris farley word for his his character
1:02:56of himself when he hosted the chris
1:02:57farley show and then you talk to these
1:02:59actually do you remember when you know
1:03:02you're in that scene he's asking Paul
1:03:04McCartney remember when they were doing
1:03:05Paul is dead thing and the beatles like
1:03:08was that real
1:03:10of course was like well I'm not really
1:03:12dead and I don't know it when he was
1:03:16quiet he was so so good which i think
1:03:18only makes me happier that he could be
1:03:21no so boisterous and loud and good too
1:03:22but he really he could do both he wasn't
1:03:24just a one-trick pony and he's so so
1:03:26funny that I think my cast would be
1:03:29sorely lacking without him i don't know
1:03:32i think the best part of any chris
1:03:34farley sketches when it's on because you
1:03:35can get up and get a snack
1:03:36Wow Chris finally would agree with you
1:03:39except for the getting up part yeah so I
1:03:44read Rob Lowe's first autobiography he
1:03:46has 2 i've only had one hit the first
1:03:50one he actually does a story about that
1:03:52he did a movie with him I think tommy
1:03:54boy is the newest and Rob Lowe and chris
1:03:56farley go out to eat and apparently
1:03:58every time Chris Farley wood cut his
1:04:01stake you put a pad of butter on top of
1:04:03the bite of steak and then shove the
1:04:04whole thing this mouth and Rob Lowe's
1:04:06like you just eat a pound of butter with
1:04:09your steak and chris farley's like I
1:04:10know and that basically set the tone of
1:04:13tender for the two of them for the whole
1:04:15movie I'd like to back up for a moment
1:04:17mhm Robert Robert Caro and I apologize
1:04:20if I'm butchering the name wrote the
1:04:23three-volume biography of Lyndon Baines
1:04:26Johnson less because Rob Lowe is
1:04:29two-thirds of the way and it's an
1:04:33autobiography not a biography I know
1:04:36that's the best part like you just know
1:04:37any sub comes grandpa he's gonna have
1:04:38like a third volume out this is a man
1:04:40who believes in living a literary life
1:04:41and just to tie it into Saturday Night
1:04:43Live i do encourage you to find Rob
1:04:45Lowe's opening monologue from when he
1:04:47hosted Saturday Night Live which was
1:04:49shortly after his how you should always
1:04:51scandal with the the Democratic National
1:04:53after the investigation also watch his
1:04:55church lady sketch because that is
1:04:57hysterical especially because Dirty
1:04:59Dancing with the church but all I
1:05:00remember from that opening monologue was
1:05:02him doing this uncomfortable monologue
1:05:04that no one's laughing at him from the
1:05:05background you hear an audience member
1:05:07scream have a daughter time for a break

1:07:51Elliott oh haha it knows what's your
1:07:56pick for predators from college like
1:08:03five bucks dimension is Elliot's
1:08:05daughter is not happy i know she had but
1:08:09i think three years on the show its
1:08:10granddaughter
1:08:11yeah but that's only about ya generation
1:08:14to Ray at home she had a couple years in
1:08:17the show and she was a pretty gifted
1:08:19impersonator and she's reliably funny
1:08:22and she has again she's got the the two
1:08:25things I like in my own several players
1:08:27which she's got a spark of weird energy
1:08:29and she's pretty generous with
1:08:30collaborating with other people and i
1:08:33like that and i think i could use
1:08:35another another solid player and i only
1:08:37have one good impression with Bill Hader
1:08:41and now i have to you know Phil
1:08:43I feel that's you know now easier user
1:08:45strike is your glue
1:08:47Wow besides believing that we live in a
1:08:49world with Kardashians i can ask phil
1:08:51hartman to play Kardashian he can't even
1:08:52play Bruce is that the first thing of
1:08:54parent and child both cast members on
1:08:57Saturday Night Live condition
1:08:58yes yes it is alright she was great i
1:09:01have no idea why they let her go but she
1:09:04was very good and she was on it and I
1:09:07suspect she would have done more if she
1:09:08hadn't been in the same cast as Kristen
1:09:10what weight because Kristen Wiig again
1:09:12she did everything she did everything
1:09:15she gobbled up a lot of female roles in
1:09:17the end but the fact is even on SNL it's
1:09:19still a pretty dude heavy show in terms
1:09:21of comedy no I mean people love to talk
1:09:23about how Tina Fey and Amy Poehler and
1:09:25Rachel Dratch in my Rudolph for this
1:09:26this powerful quartet and blah blah blah
1:09:28but the fact of the matter is it's still
1:09:30a show where there's a lot of did comedy
1:09:33going on and so I think if you're a
1:09:35woman on SNL it can be a little bit
1:09:36difficult to to get the same persistent
1:09:39opportunities as it is if your utility
1:09:41player who's a guy I think Lisa that
1:09:43they let her go because she was at one
1:09:45point so high on cocaine that she
1:09:47crawled into a cardboard box in her
1:09:49office and wouldn't come out because she
1:09:50thought robots were going to kill her
1:09:51now that's Garrett Morris sorry I'm yeah
1:09:53everything you're saying that can be
1:09:56high on cocaine to be on SNL and now
1:09:59apparently not and they didn't fire
1:10:00cared for instance he just was convinced
1:10:02they just convincing the robots weren't
1:10:04going to kill him they were going to
1:10:05give him things that's actually the
1:10:07strategy i use of my daughter and her
1:10:09fears of Monsters is I just tell her
1:10:11that you know the monsters are not
1:10:12really here to scare you
1:10:13yeah maybe thought of picking or less
1:10:15cocaine plus you know my daughter you
1:10:17know because i think i can get her to do
1:10:18anything is a powerful motivator for
1:10:20David it's your turn you already have
1:10:22phil hartman Tina Fey Kate McKinnon
1:10:24Chris Parnell what's your next choice
1:10:27well it was gonna be happy Elliot but
1:10:30you're kidding I'm I serious now is
1:10:33Victoria Jackson but we have to put them
1:10:35on Twitter bring it we were doing that
1:10:38but i'm i'm also going to go for that
1:10:42spark of weird and someone who balances
1:10:45really nicely or plays really nicely
1:10:46with phil hartman I'm gonna go with jon
1:10:48lovitz ah love man the love man
1:10:53yes because again utility player
1:10:56can be the lead can be in the background
1:10:58count God he was so funny Satan on the

1:15:32pic I'm gonna go with isn't yeah i'm
1:15:35gonna go with another person whose time
1:15:38on SNL was too short again since I i I'm
1:15:42an old man i can't stay up to 7 30
1:15:45centre de nights anymore either
1:15:47technology friends no to you about your
1:15:49friends including no point watching the
1:15:51next day it's all rotten by then there
1:15:53are it's not like they're their sports
1:15:55to watch an old movie night moves office
1:15:59so i'm not familiar with her with with
1:16:02her saturday night live work but
1:16:04everything else I've seen her in
1:16:05suggests to me that Lauren Michaels laid
1:16:09an egg with the decision to run her out
1:16:11of town i'm taking casey wilson always
1:16:14she's great she baffled as to why they
1:16:16get rid of after one season she was good
1:16:18yeah she is she just a really talented
1:16:22performer uh everything I've seen her in
1:16:25from happy endings to again drunk
1:16:27history
1:16:28it makes me laugh and laugh and laugh I
1:16:31think she's great
1:16:32alright seems like there's no argument
1:16:34not like with some pics like the ones i
1:16:35make you know that's good well done well
1:16:37done both although i did i'd have to
1:16:39point out you chose her for her present
1:16:42it's on Saturday Night Live and not from
1:16:44actually having seen her on Saturday
1:16:46know for all I for all I know she was
1:16:48terrible on this show was terrible and
1:16:50this is a time when I will side with
1:16:52Lorne Michaels in the sense that she did
1:16:54not do well there but she clearly is
1:16:55very talented i don't agree with
1:16:56anything said about her talent post SNL
1:16:58likes it's your it's your turn
1:17:01I need a Weekend Update host you do yes
1:17:03he did have to choose between bread hi
1:17:05available i have to choose another
1:17:07person a person whom I loathe the
1:17:11politics and which I thought was very
1:17:12very good and we can do it for a person
1:17:14who I think is also a really good sketch
1:17:16versatility player which Dennis Miller
1:17:18wasn't at and whos Weekend Update I
1:17:20loved but who didn't do Weekend Update
1:17:22right anyway I loved it but it wasn't
1:17:24right I'm gonna go with a ladder because
1:17:25I don't hire people hate so I'm hiring
1:17:26kevin nealon Colin Quinn thinks this is
1:17:30bull is the worst thing that ever
1:17:33happened Weekend Update hi agree on I

1:18:09victoria jackson the first round started
1:18:13a funhouse mirror fill ya know she's
1:18:17planar ukulele and sing about how obama
1:18:20should be murdered good at voices let's
1:18:23let's tell us about kevin i just want to
1:18:26say his one kind of update joke which I
1:18:28think shows a lot of how he approaches
1:18:30anything he did it twice which makes it
1:18:32even funnier anybody said like let's
1:18:34look at the story from a different angle
1:18:35and then the camera two different angle
1:18:37he said the same thing he had said
1:18:38higher
1:18:39and like that's a very silly and
1:18:41different take on update that most
1:18:42people do but he was he was really good
1:18:44in many sketches and of course since i
1:18:46also have Dana Carvey now I can rekindle
1:18:48home Franz and so I'm very happy to have
1:18:51Kevin join the team
1:18:52alright Lisa your pick Tracy Morgan good
1:18:56pic i was i was about to go there so
1:18:59well
1:18:59well done thank you know but yes yes i
1:19:04love to mr. Jones every time you bust
1:19:09out with I'm and if it's just correct
1:19:12and this is another example where the
1:19:14most SNL career and his work on 30 rock
1:19:17you know reinforces just what a out
1:19:20funny is kind of force of nature guy he
1:19:22wasn't also i think says something about
1:19:24his his character that Tina Fey came off
1:19:27of Saturday Night Live and said I'm
1:19:29going to do a show and Tracy Morgan's
1:19:31going to be in it with me which you know
1:19:32said something because she knew about
1:19:34Tracy Morgan could have been like I'm
1:19:36not work with that guy and she's like no
1:19:37I want that guy and she's like that
1:19:39she's like no one actually believe that
1:19:40this is what he's like in real life and
1:19:42she just turned it up to 11 and returned
1:19:45you also get tracy Jordan and tracy
1:19:46jordan's movie career if i can get Angie
1:19:49Jordan as an add-on to i do you have
1:19:51died had all man now it's just again to
1:19:55this
1:19:55well I have my reasons for picking Tracy
1:19:58Morgan they're all good i'm not sharing
1:20:00them with you because I don't care to
1:20:01make another running joke no no please
1:20:05no you know seriousness your theories
1:20:09about about no building ensemble cast
1:20:12are quite spot on
1:20:13I think ya know I need to find another
1:20:15agent of chaos because I just said Bill
1:20:17Murray I think I was a kid I know I i
1:20:19agree and balances out
1:20:20ya know my last big has to be a brainy
1:20:22weirdo and you guys have screwed me
1:20:24so there's still some weirdos out there
1:20:27yeah David it's your pick what do you
1:20:29have for us
1:20:30oh well since all all the women I was
1:20:32originally going to pick on me as you
1:20:37were my wife I'd a well-liked disappear
1:20:40all the way but I haha it's the dystopia
1:20:45coming this fall all the women I picked
1:20:47our god it's the worst julio iglesias
1:20:50Willie Nelson song ever
1:20:52Bobby women i've picked before not even
1:20:58better with curry s80 Bryant yes she's
1:21:03so money's interested in you know I
1:21:06think there's undiscovered depths the
1:21:09chichi is yet because we have can make
1:21:11it into don't you and yes exactly so
1:21:13Dyke and fat 32 obviously daikin fats
1:21:16latches but in and just the two of them
1:21:18in sketches balance each other nicely so
1:21:21they I think they make a really nice
1:21:23team so I like your digital short we can
1:21:27do it might win bad we can both of them
1:21:28just went for crazy with that was great
1:21:32alright again i have seen no sentient
1:21:36life for the last four years so I
1:21:37ecology center bouncing yeah and i are
1:21:40watching sports
1:21:42yeah personal use these out sports
1:21:45yeah and the other true and star trek
1:21:47i'm with my pic I i also want another
1:21:50woman cast member
1:21:51I've got a couple that I've been holding
1:21:54a hole in my house somewhere here is
1:22:00about my bedroom for 3 with a couple of
1:22:04time thinking about that are not neither
1:22:07of whom were fantastic on the show one
1:22:09of whom was ok on the show and one of
1:22:12whom was on the show during a time when
1:22:14the show was completely off the rails
1:22:17John have gone on to be very talented
1:22:20actresses and comedians and we mentioned
1:22:23earlier
1:22:24Julia Louie Dreyfus I think she's a very
1:22:27talented person who was not put to best
1:22:29use on saturday night live in the
1:22:31different solera absolutely not i'm
1:22:33gonna go instead for an actress from the
1:22:36weird first return season of Loren
1:22:40Michaels the one with randy quaid that
1:22:42season the one weird with Robert Downey
1:22:44jr. but not selectable actress that I'm
1:22:47gonna pick her despite her marginal work
1:22:50on the show it was a marginal year
1:22:51actually think she did ok work in a
1:22:53really bad weird year
1:22:55and that's Joan Cusack yep so I'm gonna
1:22:58pick joan cusack I think especially like
1:23:00her so much microphone for me 10 per
1:23:02year was problematic to Korea she's
1:23:04really great and actually like the the
1:23:07my favorite sketch from that year by the
1:23:08way because i actually did watch every
1:23:09episode that year there was a great
1:23:11twilight zone riff called the limits of
1:23:12the imagination that involved a floating
1:23:14head of randy quaid making bizarre
1:23:16declarations let Rod Serling style and I
1:23:19was a great together
1:23:20so basically 129 happened back in 1985's
1:23:23what you're saying there was a really
1:23:25good sketch for about two minutes and
1:23:27then there was the rest of the year and
1:23:28that when there was seven more minutes
1:23:30of it because yes well sketches of
1:23:32course was SNL of course but it's a john
1:23:35cusack is going to join my cast and I
1:23:36think she's gonna be great maybe her
1:23:38brother can come on hold up a boombox at
1:23:40some point anyway
1:23:41Monty I were at the last round
1:23:45it's your pick what do you have at this
1:23:47point I need somebody who's going to be
1:23:48in charge of interstitial bits
1:23:50no I was like the one you're telling
1:23:52Albert Brooks because you might be the
1:23:54funniest person ever but Albert Brooks
1:23:57is SNL specific work was never actually
1:24:01my favorite so I'm going to go with
1:24:03longtime SNL writer Jack Handey yeah
1:24:06sure it's excellent that's a great
1:24:09choice
1:24:09yeah IDK cons stuck deep thoughts on my
1:24:12edition of SNL and will do fine
1:24:15interesting not Roberts Michael went
1:24:17with jack handey his book these
1:24:20adventures Honolulu is kind of an
1:24:23interesting read
1:24:24it's it's it's not I was it was a great
1:24:26profile of him on the well Yorker to is
1:24:29that what does have great
1:24:30yeah he didn't want it yeah really in
1:24:32comedies was unnerving people who is
1:24:34like really well adjusted in a super
1:24:35hard worker and just naturally weird
1:24:37those guys
1:24:38yeah that's good man for the worst our
1:24:41jack handey is on Monty's team Phil it's
1:24:44your final pic I'm going around them i
1:24:46cast member with another person who I
1:24:48think was ill served by the show i think
1:24:50he still did very good work on the show
1:24:52I think he fills out a lot of sketches
1:24:55well i'm gonna go with Tim Meadows oh no
1:24:58I can be an awkward car ride home is
1:25:02what I'm telling you
1:25:03as good as two medals was an SNL was as
1:25:07bad as he's been on most things since I
1:25:10i enjoy his work on the colbert report
1:25:12that's no okay i'll give you that I'm
1:25:15really thinking that short-lived Michael
1:25:16Richards show on which everyone was
1:25:18terrible and yeah really yeah you're
1:25:20basing people an actual Richard show I
1:25:22well
1:25:23really yes that's that's that's here
1:25:26that's your basis for the value of a
1:25:29human being and very good on that show
1:25:31with that guy was good in that one thing
1:25:33that awful and everything else
1:25:35what about you a tragical Richards was
1:25:37good into things off all how dare you I
1:25:42dare sir but the mellows you know
1:25:45Tomatoes good one of my favorite bits
1:25:47that he ever did was a weekend update
1:25:48segment um very it was very straight
1:25:52face very straightforward about the NHL
1:25:54lockout where he was talking about how
1:25:57he was so happy the hartford whalers
1:25:59would get to play cannon and it I can't
1:26:02do it justice because it he just
1:26:04deadpans it under under place and all
1:26:07the way did deadpan he and under play
1:26:10under place things so well it's just I
1:26:13don't know if he goes home and goes into
1:26:14like a primal screaming room to get it
1:26:16all out or what it was like you after
1:26:19being comfortable i just made love to
1:26:21his matter of fact and gosh darn it I
1:26:24even like the ladies man to it to some
1:26:26extent except for the movie i like the
1:26:29first 17 or so time to sketch not the
1:26:31movie for God's sake
1:26:32yeah oh yeah you putting that in mind
1:26:35intentionally have been out that that's
1:26:37not talking telling us about the movie

1:26:46ladies man i have my utility players

1:27:14initiative
1:27:14and I'm betting on to that Rihanna its
1:27:18mysteries that sandler and Sandberg okay
1:27:22but I'm not everyone has a good head
1:27:24around why they both are excellent SNL
1:27:27players who are also very flawed how do
1:27:29you feel about the Opera I was just
1:27:32pissed I'm I have post-traumatic
1:27:35flashbacks from Lisa made a very obscene
1:27:38gesture by the way if that influences
1:27:42your pic anyway it it is by far the most
1:27:45vulgar thing i have ever seen her do so
1:27:52this thing here's here's my debate
1:27:55sampler is a very helpful cast member as
1:27:59folks talk about in that sales book
1:28:01where you know if they were a few
1:28:02minutes short Lorne Michaels could say
1:28:04hey Adam I need a song about
1:28:05thanksgiving in five minutes later
1:28:07saying they had a song about
1:28:08thanksgiving we're here I'm like turkey
1:28:09with working or whatever he had to do
1:28:12that's helpful Samberg on the other hand
1:28:14was a little bit better on tape that he
1:28:16was live in digital shorts were at first
1:28:20good and then eventually derivative and
1:28:22then sometimes go again so it's it's
1:28:24really very much a coin flip for me and
1:28:26I want to pick the one that's going to
1:28:27cause the most pain to others in the
1:28:29draft and so I'm gonna go with Sandler
1:28:31you messed it up
1:28:33you're so jealous huh Adam Sandler you
1:28:37can get i hope you will like offer man
1:28:38because you're going to get them now a
1:28:40lot of overhand all right you could have
1:28:42had Brooklyn nine-nine study meet you
1:28:44got the wino Brooklyn nine-nine is some
1:28:46Sabres best work so the other day i was
1:28:48buying groceries and they've got the
1:28:49dvds lined up
1:28:51um and they had whatever movie adam
1:28:55sandler and drew barrymore did recently
1:28:57when they do lots there exactly where
1:29:00they're like they're like the Hepburn
1:29:02and yeah I see for our time one up and
1:29:05one where they went to everyone i wanted
1:29:06to color i think it's called that's
1:29:08black march and stop when it was just
1:29:11their narrow it down yeah that would be
1:29:13funnier or to steal a steal and or
1:29:16mcdonalds joke on my team i think it was
1:29:18called box-office poison
1:29:20that was the greatest achievement is
1:29:23poor Courtney Courtney what's your
1:29:25thorne-smith had no idea how to react to
1:29:26any of that but uh it was just there as
1:29:31well
1:29:32look there's an ass amateur movie that I
1:29:34could buy as a as an impulse purchase
1:29:36because apparently money has no meaning
1:29:39to you because I don't care about money
1:29:40your joy your entertainment so good pic
1:29:44looks good thank you
1:29:45because what I'm trying to say maybe
1:29:46you're causing people pain because
1:29:48they're questioning everything they know
1:29:49about you
1:29:50yeah I'm fine with that Lisa it's your
1:29:52choice so I needed somebody super weird
1:29:54for my last because I didn't have enough
1:29:56super weird and I don't know why not
1:29:58and now I don't and I my initial impulse
1:30:02was to go with Paul Brittain who was a
1:30:04cast member from twenty ten to twenty
1:30:06twelve Phyllis looking like a monkey
1:30:10who's just discovered fire like that ?
1:30:13is floating over his head and a bourbon
1:30:15sended cloud now I feel that you're just
1:30:17naming ex-boyfriends know Tim gather in
1:30:25ski still be your official right that's
1:30:28the Lord Cecil Wyndemere and he also did
1:30:32the legendary sketches which i find
1:30:34hilarious
1:30:35are you picking the sky or is this just
1:30:37tell you I'm like throwing him as a
1:30:39booty like sauce going to pick left so
1:30:41I'm just I'm just offering all right I'm
1:30:43grateful to lex because you picked the
1:30:45wrong s i'm picking adams i'm picking
1:30:47andy samberg you get and I'm picking
1:30:50andy samberg re treats because i think
1:30:52the digital shorts actually did a great
1:30:54job of dragging SNL kicking and
1:30:56screaming into the next century and
1:30:58because to this day I can you buy very
1:31:01often and to this day I can't get on the
1:31:03stinkin fairy without thinking I'm on a
1:31:05lot of both
1:31:06yeah take a good hard look at the I
1:31:09think it's safe to say that it is a sort
1:31:10of dragged Saturday Night Live back into
1:31:12a format that they already had in the
1:31:14eighties because that was Dick of
1:31:15ourselves brit big innovation was doing
1:31:17a lot of pre-taped yeah shorts i wanna
1:31:20kinda brought it back around 1 i've also
1:31:22i would pick it i would begin December
1:31:24just because oh my god that the one
1:31:25where he is Michael Bolton to sing and
1:31:27dress up like erin brockovich is just
1:31:28delightful i wanna pose a question to
1:31:30you I'll pose this to the panel at large
1:31:34go on doesn't doing pre-taped things run
1:31:38counter to the entire idea behind
1:31:40Saturday Night Live isn't that a total
1:31:43betrayal of the actual they all need
1:31:46time to change portion of that I know
1:31:48you guys are you cheatng that's why you
1:31:50have GE Smith grimacing while he plays
1:31:52his heart would help my team of most
1:31:55hated Saturday Night Live elements he
1:31:57totally would your smithing suit there's
1:31:59always been pre-taped and albert brooks
1:32:01always Erbil and puppets stuff
1:32:04yeah yeah I but but it's doing it's
1:32:08different when it's like mr. bill and
1:32:10then the in the Muppets and uh Albert
1:32:13Brooks it's not someone who's special
1:32:16for dinner my day says ground even even
1:32:19the Muppets were done live
1:32:20no because the you know in the episode
1:32:22lera they would often be like half hour
1:32:24of the show would be different pre-taped
1:32:26bits it would buy the regular cast
1:32:28members and and that was that was
1:32:30controversial at the time and Lorne
1:32:32Michaels when you put a stop to it when
1:32:34he came back and in fact it wasn't until
1:32:35really the andy samberg kinda era that
1:32:38you saw saw that come back again
1:32:41yeah and I kind of resent it come on the
1:32:44west coast i never see it live anyway
1:32:46we're at like yeah that's what movie or
1:32:49sports mom
1:32:51David it's your turn well you know I was
1:32:55thinking about Julia Louie Dreyfus but
1:32:57you know i kinda like everyone is
1:32:58thinking about Julia Louie Dreyfus I'm
1:33:00thinking about it right now it's been
1:33:03rolling stone cover but I i think i
1:33:07prefer her as an actress
1:33:08mm compared to sketch comedy you know
1:33:10and you know i thought well i could do
1:33:14interstitials with ben stiller because
1:33:16he did that for a little while more
1:33:17episodes and they didn't know what to do
1:33:19with him you were so so you know I could
1:33:23go with him but you know and then it's
1:33:26like Harry Shearer and it's like well
1:33:28you're just listening things now but
1:33:31then I then I thought about it was like
1:33:32I kinda like the thought of picking
1:33:34another woman and having the women
1:33:36outnumber the men for once nice who i'll
1:33:39go with Vanessa Bayer yeah that's a
1:33:42great rec current cast member again
1:33:45another one of those utility players who
1:33:46can just be
1:33:47weird or be straight straight man you
1:33:50know but but yeah let's have the women
1:33:52outnumber the man for once Kevin I'm not
1:33:55gonna belittle your choices here but
1:33:57you've picked a lot of current cast
1:34:00members which would seem to suggest that
1:34:02the current casts great heat
1:34:04well the current cast is not bad the
1:34:07writing is awful
1:34:08mm but David's gonna do all the writing
1:34:11on mancinelli be some good so that's
1:34:13true well radio dramas it so it's all
1:34:16it's all studio 60 I'm gonna have mad at
1:34:18all haha Lord uh-huh
1:34:20cancel cancel so that's the first
1:34:24commercial break
1:34:25yeah well David halfway to the export
1:34:28stars and he can probably get Cecily
1:34:30strong off the waiver wire eternal they
1:34:33go but to be fair a lot of my first pics
1:34:36were already taken
1:34:38yeah that's no defense
1:34:42we're taking her out but ok i would i
1:34:44would have taken Gilda Radner in my
1:34:45route all German you don't get them so i
1:34:48don't get the draft format is cruel
1:34:51that's right all right David take
1:34:52somebody from a show that I've never
1:34:53seen I don't like my cast so all right
1:34:56she was a great bar mitzvah boy and a
1:34:57great Miley Cyrus okay I'm gonna go back
1:35:02to the eighties for a guy who again i
1:35:05think is not thought of as well now as
1:35:08he was during his era on the show when
1:35:11he was he was for up to three years the
1:35:14go to sketch comedian and of course then
1:35:17you've also got his time on other great
1:35:18sketch comedy shows i am going to make
1:35:21my last cast member martin short since
1:35:24we're going to say Joe Piscopo Martin no
1:35:28Martin Short you get your end grimly
1:35:30yeah you got you get your arm you get
1:35:32here in the third Jackie Jackie Rogers
1:35:34you're around jr. he got a Bradley jr.
1:35:37is an outfielder for the Red Sox jacket
1:35:39when you get to check out your men
1:35:41million-dollar jackpot WOD which is one
1:35:43of the greatest sketches of all time if
1:35:44you haven't seen Jackie Rogers juniors
1:35:46million at the million-dollar jackpot
1:35:47wad you are missing something watching
1:35:49on YouTube and barton short you know
1:35:52some great he'd the nervous executive
1:35:55being interviewed for 60 minutes
1:35:57speaking a pre-taped sketches that's a
1:35:59classic
1:36:01and again we now think Oh Martin shorty
1:36:03you what did you do after 7i live a
1:36:05bunch of stuff that wasn't that
1:36:06interesting but the fact is on SNL he
1:36:09was the go-to guy for several years and
1:36:12very very funny so I'm happy to have
1:36:14Martin Martin Short on my and after
1:36:16ripping apart of pre-taped stuff he did
1:36:18that great thing with Harry Shearer
1:36:20within synchronization having a
1:36:21synchronized swimmers fast that is that
1:36:24is simply the best
1:36:25I know you I know you dig a hole that is
1:36:30not a tape thing that has ever been on
1:36:32Saturday Night Live Strong word Ariana
1:36:35it's charles to only on that one year
1:36:38yeah wasn't and they were the show was
1:36:39only one year I thought he was only one
1:36:41out one year one year the last the last
1:36:43week that was over here they killed that
1:36:45year that was a great yet it was it was
1:36:47beautiful they called me pre-recorded
1:36:49say when they called Martin Short know
1:36:51who I'd like martin short's terrible
1:36:55Germany click show huh i had his posture
1:36:59and everybody did it was terrible
1:37:01mighty love favorable anyway Martin
1:37:06Short I'm gonna put them in a lot of
1:37:07sketches and it's gonna be good and i
1:37:10realized i was actually going to pick
1:37:11dennis miller with my last pic because
1:37:13although he is a problematic figure
1:37:14today and a lot of people don't like him
1:37:16he was I could argue maybe the best mhm
1:37:20Weekend Update guy he was great his
1:37:22reference humor i love i love it
1:37:25ah but uh i realized that i already have
1:37:29a Chevy Chase
1:37:30yeah you can do it your design has got
1:37:33Dana Carvey and his Chevy Chase and
1:37:34you're not
1:37:35well then you can you should drafting a
1:37:37dad Dennis Miller so that they can do
1:37:39they do the side-by-side yeah yeah yeah
1:37:43yeah well i think the argument is that
1:37:44he had an economy he doesn't need the X
1:37:46exists
1:37:47ok looks like I got Kevin Nealon all
1:37:49right Lex you decided not to get we
1:37:52don't phil hartman at the top so now you
1:37:53get out an extra pick at the bottom here
1:37:55it is that means ok I'm yeah I debated
1:37:59do i need a weirdo and if i needed weird
1:38:00i was going to go towards Will Forte if
1:38:02I need an item on my list will be
1:38:04writing another true utility player i
1:38:06was going to go Jason Sudeikis who
1:38:07really out here is my list but he didn't
1:38:10go higher
1:38:11I'm choosing either because I
1:38:14not going about your hand still out
1:38:15there who is the most versatile random
1:38:17guy who's on forever 2 i'm going to pick
1:38:19the only SNL cast member who ever became
1:38:22United States Senator
1:38:24here's why boo
1:38:27although I Frank is editor Dennis Miller
1:38:30yeah second senator Hitler is who have
1:38:33bigger needed although Al Franken from
1:38:38the gym romanian erica Hill is far from
1:38:40a great performer Jason indicated in the
1:38:43rules that we could also pick folks who
1:38:45were writer yes and Stuart Smalley I
1:38:47mean people love that for a little while
1:38:49is very popular and Stuart Smalley fine
1:38:51character whatever but Al Franken and
1:38:53excellent writer for saturday night live
1:38:55I don't have any but i have Dana Carvey
1:38:57to do political stuff but I don't have
1:38:59anybody to actually write the political
1:39:01content Alfred perfect thats no very
1:39:03good when it's good politically so I i
1:39:05needed out Frank there to help round out
1:39:06i think his best political work was done
1:39:09with Tom Davis yeah they they did the
1:39:11final day sketch is starting my topic
1:39:14dan Aykroyd where it did that actually
1:39:18Trump's the real pasta is richard nixon
1:39:22i doubt you
1:39:23Kennedy having sex with woman in the
1:39:25white house that never happened when
1:39:26Richard Nixon was president
1:39:28get down on your knees and pray with me
1:39:29Henry so it's a decent pic Lex I guess I
1:39:42had five people on last that I couldn't
1:39:44draft you know I i would like to yeah i
1:39:47still have a list of the spreadsheet now
1:39:50and i'm just going to name the people
1:39:52who i was considering ok let's let's go
1:39:54let's go through we're gonna with this
1:39:56is the who you didn't pick round and
1:39:58then we'll be done
1:39:59Monty who do you have left um in the
1:40:02face of undoubted mockery the people i
1:40:05had left listed were Bobby Moynihan
1:40:07Horatio Sanz David Spade and Nora Dunn
1:40:10david spade's a fine option i agree with
1:40:13all of those except you're done yeah all
1:40:16right Phil I have Jim Breuer pittsford
1:40:21Christopher Abu you mr. Christopher
1:40:25gasps suggestion
1:40:26I had Darrell Hammond he came in for a
1:40:29lot of mockery tonight but tim kaiser it
1:40:31scary thought he was a he was a hell of
1:40:32a writer actually Don Novello gaya mm I
1:40:38didn't pick him because it would have
1:40:41meant I would have had to talk to him
1:40:42but Joe Piscopo was a fine impressionist
1:40:45I had Julia Sweeney I had Jason Sudeikis
1:40:49on my list and I had damon wayans for
1:40:53his family that you could do a whole
1:40:57team of people exactly know if we were
1:40:59doing the draft of people who went on to
1:41:01better things after Saturday Night Live
1:41:02kept kick them to the curb
1:41:04damon wayans and Chris Rock would
1:41:06probably be the anchors yeah i'm robert
1:41:08downey jr i think yeah I would think
1:41:10michael hollister Michael mother
1:41:13apparently sarah silverman with on
1:41:15Saturday
1:41:16yeah apparently she was mark McKinney
1:41:18michael mckean mark McKinney is best
1:41:21work was before Saturday Night Live
1:41:22thank you i think is best ensemble with
1:41:24kiddin kids in the hall yeah but that
1:41:26was before seven internally
1:41:27yeah so let's do you have any extras why
1:41:30I mentioned Sudeikis and forte the other
1:41:34one who I have on my list is Phil's be
1:41:36loved' Seth Meyers because i think his
1:41:38writings really strong and he was a
1:41:40great head writer on that show
1:41:42nope now bill with the rebound Lisa who
1:41:47do you have left
1:41:48I'm i am I on my list so I didn't get a
1:41:51chance to draft you no no no all right
1:41:55now I hang out with him confident with
1:41:58her destroyed David you have anybody
1:42:00left over
1:42:01oh yeah I had Rachel Dratch and Jan
1:42:03hooks return shot I'm shot this is the
1:42:07first time that someone has mentioned
1:42:08Rachel drachez name in the context of
1:42:10picking yeah yeah I don't want to be
1:42:13downer
1:42:13well no she wasn't until the player like
1:42:15but if you want to if you want a female
1:42:17utility player i would i would still
1:42:18pick Julia Sweeney over Rachel Dratch
1:42:20because I think sweetie I think sweetie
1:42:21disappeared your characters more
1:42:22effectively yes she was also on my list
1:42:25yesterday cuz and you know i was just
1:42:28serve as we're going along looking going
1:42:29who are the combinations I wanted to see
1:42:31and so it's yeah
1:42:32kinda picking all these alright and my
1:42:37list I I the names i still had on it
1:42:40I thought about Paul Shaffer mom I
1:42:44thought about I thought about Jon Arryn
1:42:46show was one of the few people to
1:42:48actually drop the f-bomb yeah Loggins
1:42:50Loggins Loggins Loggins was wearing a
1:42:54flogging yeah Harry Shearer uh Gary
1:42:57kroger of course as I mentioned earlier
1:42:59randy quaid David damon wayans Chris
1:43:02Rock I thought about speaking of the
1:43:04people who who went on to better things
1:43:06didn't go off alone would be in that
1:43:08camp too I suppose
1:43:10see I kept everybody off my list who I
1:43:11thought was woefully underused yeah yeah
1:43:13because that's an entirely different you
1:43:16know you could draft it's true is that
1:43:17way i also had a Will Forte bill hater
1:43:21who got taken i guess Jason Sudeikis
1:43:23Kenan Thompson I do like is that
1:43:28yeah I didn't like that alright that
