Just like a guy that likes doing bits is the best energy.
Oh my gosh.
Oh my God.
The problem was, it was even weirder because I had been there as a writer.
I had just become head writer.
I felt like I was doing well as a writer.
And I'd been doing stand-up, but I was really doing a ton of SNL writing.
And so at first, I worried I was going to be so bad that I would lose both jobs.
They'd be like, you're so bad on camera.
We're also taking away your pen.
We're not even letting you write anymore.
And I was so nervous.
Like I remember just like drinking bourbon before I went on to calm my nerves.
And just the adrenaline immediately just burned it off.
And it was weird because it was also like I was doing it in front of all my peers who I had been working with, the whole crew who I had been working with.
But then it's suddenly you're in a totally different role and you're really self-conscious about it.
Yeah, I can only imagine.
I think writing is harder.
Like it's hard to do.
I don't know.
