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.

I'm interested, you know, in people, whoever it may be, whether it's Bruce Springsteen or, you know, Angelina Jolie or something. You're talking to them. It's like, talk to me about this thing or what. I don't know. It's like also with my show, I got to jump right in. I have probably 10 minutes.

And you're like, I got to make them comfortable and know that I'm not going to make them look bad. I just want to talk to them and go like, hey, blah, blah, blah. Or I'll make a thing or I'll just say some joke or I don't know what I'll do. Yeah.

really and then they'll be themselves and then you go now it's flowing and you go yeah yeah yeah and then you can get into the movie talk and you know you know and sell the product or whatever you know which is whatever but it's that first kind of five to seven minutes where you get in there and then you start playing with them and you start like if you can get a laugh out of floyd mayweather or something it's cool how do you make them feel comfortable

Just to say hi. How's it going? And then I'll just talk to them. Sometimes I talk to them longer than the interview because we'll get talking about something or life or some bit or, you know. you know, their parents or something, you know, just get into real life talk. And by the time they come out, they feel like we've already talked. So it's less pressure.
