And sometimes it's really funny because they could be like, there's Steven Seagal, you know, introducing the Smashing Pumpkins.

And it's like, it's like pop culture Mad Libs, you know?

There's one, Emilio Estevez, like saying goodnight and it's Pearl Jam and it's like super young Eddie Vedder.

And it's like, all right, thanks to Eddie and Pearl Jam.

And there's no other pop culture artifact like that.

Well, for both of you, it's like all that stuff must be like these random home movies that are in your attic.

But meanwhile, like 20 million people have seen them.

Um, but when you, when you showed up, the show is in trouble.

Because it felt like that transition year after the Billy Crystal, that Martin Short and Christopher Guest that year, and then Lauren came back.

He had this young cast, and only a couple of them ended up staying, I think, for the second year.

But then you showed up and Hartman showed up, and all of a sudden the show was amazing again.

But could you feel like, did it feel like that was a make or break year?

Now I feel like I'm interviewing you.

Did that feel like a make or break year for the cast, or did you not even sense that?

So that was... I mean, that was the second peak of the show.

I feel like the show was in danger in my lifetime three times.

The first was...

after the original cast left that gene dominion year that you talked about a little with Piscopo, but, um, it really felt like the, if Eddie, if Eddie isn't there, the show gets canceled.

No, that was, that was the next one was that the, uh, so that was season six, but they had Eddie, they ended up keeping, but if they don't have any, I think the show gets canceled.

Yeah.
