Can I tell you that I wrote a sketch very similar to that before you got to SNL? It was a family having dinner and I think Farrell and I can't remember who the host probably came to the house and we're like, we're brothers. We grew up here. Can we look around? And then they just told stories and they were just the most horrifying stories that you've ever heard. And I thought it was very funny.

Like my memory of it, and I'm sure you have this too, is of the only sound in the room is the sound of 150 scripts being turned page by page. Like there's no, like that's a silence that doesn't exist elsewhere in nature. It's like the absence of sound. More than it is a sound. And that's how that sketch played.
