It really is brilliant. And they can be scatological. They can be anything. But they do it in such an intelligent way that it's constantly amusing to me. But in terms of the sheen of the great institutions like Second City or Saturday Night Live, well, I go back with them. Like Saturday Night Live, when I was there, there were seven of us in the cast. Now there's a couple dozen.

So there's a lot of people. And Second City used to have, like, two casts, you know? Now they have, like, a university, you know? They've got, like, a seven-story building or something with, like, people taking the classes. So it's sort of... It's not necessarily watered down.

And, like, you can't say Saturday night is sort of watered down, but there's a lot more people, and it's a little harder to get traction if you're one of the actors. But Saturday Night Live, any week... there can be a sketch that's absolutely brilliant, just like in the early days. Any week, they can make one that's absolutely perfect.

There's a huge value. If you can go through those things, if you can go from one, I always say, if you can... go through Second City and Saturday Night Live, you can do anything. Right.

You can do anything, because the intent, the, not the, I shouldn't say pressure, because I believe pressure is sort of imaginary, but the demand to be attentive to what you're doing, and every professional on Saturday Night Live, like every guy on a camera, every prop man, every single person, is the top guy, the top woman in their field. So everybody's excellent.

Well, it wasn't exactly... I wanted to say pressure cooker, but I want people to get off of pressure. I don't sort of believe in pressure. I think it's sort of imaginary. I think it's just... It's emotion that you can't control, and that's why it sort of gets up, and it feels like the top of your head's coming off. But it's really just a... There's a demand to show up, you know?
