That was a joy. And he's also a sweet guy. Oh, he's the real deal, yeah. When he's not performing, you're like, it's, I don't know, maybe he's got a split personality. And he was also great on that. He's a great actor, too. Yeah. He was great. Now it's like I'm trying to win him over for some job. It's a good guy. He's, you know, he's riding high. He's riding high.

It was really interesting because that is one of the questions that, you know, I've been doing stand up or in the comedy thing for 35 years. And I never auditioned for SNL. I've never hosted, never. And it's just, it never lined up where it was a possibility. I think there was talk of me auditioning to be a writer, but at that time I was like, no, I want to be an actor.

It's the, the ultimate graduate school of comedy, right? To go there, there's nothing that is unique to the comedy business. I mean, it's a unique television show in that they, you know, outside of Living Color and MADtv, no one's even come close to replicating it. Probably financially doesn't make sense.
