It's just Lucille Ball. It's been done. Please don't do that. I go, OK. He goes, but go pitch Mick ideas. I go, I don't want to pitch him ideas. You're the producer. I'm nervous. I don't even know Mick Jagger. He's like, just go in and pitch me ideas. So I wrote out like 10 ideas. I'm like, hey, Mick. He's like, he's very nice.

And I go, you know, I was thinking maybe me and you, I play, you play Keith and I'm you. And, you know, we work at a, you know, a sunglass hut or something like that. And he's like, yeah. Yeah. And I go, well, then I have this other idea, you know, where, you know, you and I work in an ice cream shop, but we're, you know, blah, blah, blah. And he's like, nah, nah, don't really like that.

I don't want to do that. And I go, all right. And I'm going down the list and the ideas are getting worse and worse. And I'm just like, oh, my gosh. And then out of desperation, I go, or we could do something where you come in your dressing room and I'm your reflection in the mirror. And you're like, why am I doing this shot done in the 70s and done in the 80s? And why am I doing that?

Why am I doing that? And he goes, oh, I like that. And I go. So I go back to Lauren's office. I go, good news, bad news. Good news. Nick wants to do a sketch. Bad news is it's the mirror sketch. And so Lauren was like, okay. We'll do it. And we wrote it in a night, which had never been done.

I don't think, when I was on the show, we wrote it on a Thursday night, rehearsed it once on Friday, and did the show on Saturday. And it worked, and it really worked. It might be one of the best sketches I was ever in. And Mick was so happy that he was so giddy, and he kind of shook my hand through the mirror, which is funny, because I'm supposed to be his reflection.

And it was just kind of cool. And I remember one of those things where I'm like, the room was shaking. And I go, that's cool. Like, dude, that's beyond what I dreamt I could do. You know, being on Saturday Night Live is one dream. But now you're doing it sketched with one of your rock idols. And scoring, and it's great, and it's really funny, and everyone's having a good time.
