A little bit of trivia on the woman who created Kathy. Her first name? Kathy. Look at that. And Irving, the husband, was later played by Timberlake on the show with you. That's right. And I have that fresh in my brain because they showed a picture of it during the 50 years in music Questlove and Oz doc that we watched.
But the doc is very, very good for anybody at home that has not watched. It's on Peacock and it's Questlove and Oz Rodriguez, who is a director at SNL who did a bunch of shorts after we left. And it's like a two and a half hour music documentary about the 50 years of music at SNL. And it's truly just a great documentary in general.
Yeah. Those other ones are really good, but they feel a little more like for the super SNL fan, which anybody listening to this probably is, so I would watch all those. But the music one feels almost bigger than the show. It feels like it's putting some other context on everything in a really cool way. And we have a nice little section in it. I'm very excited to watch it.
He's known for enjoying marijuana publicly.
True. But people who are known for marijuana sometimes enter rooms coughing.
So we had had all summer.
Where there had been like primaries and stuff and America and the world had gotten to know Palin. And there was all the talk of like, oh, is this going to be Tina?
Who's going to play her? She clearly had the glasses and the brown hair. It seemed like it was going to happen. And this is the payoff moment where everybody's tuning in to see what the take is going to be. And this is a start of a run for you, Seth.
Because you were the one in charge of those. And this was a huge thing for the show.
Yeah. Pressure was on after that.
Yeah.
You're also desperate to not have him miss a joke. A hundred percent. You're down there like, you're talking about the flags. They're doing the setup for the next joke. You're going to miss the next joke.
Yorm's ripped all of us today.
That sketch is a Kenwood Myers joint.
Bill as Superman presides over a meeting of the Justice League. Uh-huh. So I've got some bad news, gang. We all know that the economy hasn't been so hot lately, and not to bore you with the details, but it looks like we're going to have to let one of you go. That's the premise.
Andy, you have the next line, but it doesn't say who you are. Your next line is, it's me, right? Oh, no flash. You're the fastest man on Earth. You're essential to the team. Then Will says, great, I'll go clean out my locker. No, Hawkman, you're a hawk and a man. That's like two for the price of one. Then Will, who amongst the Justice League is less than essential? Michael enters as Aquaman.
He's wearing an open Hawaiian shirt over his costume. He's carrying a couple of fishing poles. Wow, what's up? Are we having a meeting? It's a full-on surf meeting.
Oh, yeah. Tina, Amy, four flags.
Oh, my God. It's like a reminder, and it's got the camera. It's like, yeah, it's going to be pointed at the podium, and then there's going to be flags behind it.
Seth. Yes. As head writer, though, you would sometimes get those nice moments with Lorne, right? Definitely. I feel like there's so many people whose stories are just never getting that nice moment. And I'll say for me, just personally, for as hard as the show is and as much as sometimes you are mad at it and mad at the bosses and stuff, Lorne did often, after a short, be like, it played.
