I mean, I would – she was part of my life and I think part of what built my confidence, you know. Even as an adult?

Yeah. I would call her and just go, what's going on? You know, she loved to talk. That was her, she was great at that. She had one of those phones that had the phone cords that was so stretched out from walking all around the house and talking all day that the phone cord probably was two miles long. I mean, it was a pile of spaghetti on the floor.

It's so, I go, gosh, you should get a cordless phone. You won't even believe how your life changes. You can go anywhere, Mom. But she loved to walk around and talk. So she could talk all day long. But then she would call me and say, I saw you on TV. If she saw, I go, I know, Mom. I'm on that show. She was like, you're on Ellen today. I go, I know, Mom. I was there. That was me. I was on it.

But she was my number one fan and loved bits that I would do. And she was amazing. One of the most interesting people ever. Both of them together are kind of cartoon characters. And by the end, they both kind of couldn't really hear each other. It was a lot of like, what? And my dad would go, huh?

Huh? What? Huh? And they just say, what? Huh? Until I interrupt and go, stop. Just stop talking. Because let's just move on. You can't hear each other. This is insane. But I wish I could give you the best story of kind of what my mom was like. I mean, I remember going home to the house where I grew up in Saugerties, New York, after I was on Saturday Night Live. Or maybe even during.

And I came home and my mom's like, let's go out to dinner. And I go, okay. I go, I don't really need to. I live in Manhattan. It's some of the best restaurants. I come home because I want home-cooked, you know, meals, you know. But I was, I go, sure. I go, but just don't make a big deal. Don't embarrass me. She's like, I'm not going to embarrass you. I'm not. I go, okay, let's go.

So we go into this restaurant, and we sit in, and we sit down, and she goes, I'm kind of getting a draft. And I go, no, no, no, we're not moving. We're not making a big deal. Remember, that's the deal. We're just not making a scene. We're having dinner. Like you said, we're going to go. Okay, fine. So we're sitting there, and she goes, let's order. I go, great. And she goes, I'll have this.

My dad's like, I'll have steak. And I go, she goes, I'll have the lamb chops or something. I go, great. So we're waiting, and they come over with my dad and my meal, but they forget my mom's meal. They go, you know, we didn't put in the lamb. She's like, okay. So we can't really eat. So she goes, thank you. As they leave, she goes, I'm not going to eat.

I go, well, you can't do that because you're going to make a scene. You have to eat. She goes, no, I'm fine. I don't care. I go, please don't make a big deal. She goes, I'm not making a big deal. Just where's my thing? I ordered it. I go, don't make a big deal. Finally, they bring over this lamb thing. After this whole thing, I go, great, just eat it. She's like, okay.

So she's eating out of spite and she takes the first bite and she goes, and I go, oh my God, she's not joking. And she's like pointing at her throat. And I go, oh my God. So my dad sticks his finger down my mom's throat and he's like, and she's like, making these noises. And I go, oh, this is a nightmare. And then some woman runs over. She goes, I'm a nurse. I'm a nurse.
