And foot traffic-wise, it would always get a good audience for the show.
He came back. That was a cool revisit. You know, he's always been close to the show. Like, I think he's hosted it the most, probably. Especially, like, he was a damn near cast member for four years, you know?
He's a real one and just caught a bad hand. That whole shit situation was crazy. So to see him return and, like, that just is the power of the show. Like, the power of the show, like... reflect in society like that always offers an opportunity for someone to play someone.
You know what I mean?
Yeah, Gaffigan sliding in. Dana Carvey's just back. Yeah. I'm murdering on a regular. Yeah. And hopping in and out of other sketches too. Like, just...
tossed a jennifer coolidge in there that he didn't even have you know what i mean so he just learned it at the last minute this guy is like well he's been doing it for forever use him it's like having bo jackson that's what i'm saying you know like using my and andy and that castrato shit last week too was just like it's all so much fun it's the best
But you guys, it's every week. It is. I feel like that. pressure cooker thing is like way heavier on the writers because writing and like doing comedy number one is the hardest thing ever but like formulating comedy has got to be one of the most insanely like torturous procedures ever And I thank God that I was an actor first. You know what I'm saying? I don't want that writer burden.
I try to do as much as I can. But I'm never going to fake the funk and be like, no, I'm going to write by myself every week. And I'm just going to get really good at writing. Like, I don't have interest in torturing myself like that. But I respect them. That's why I try not to, like, tank sketches or, you know, giggle through things or you try to hold back the breaking of the fourth.
You know, I try to laugh when I'm off camera or something. You know, just whatever I can do to kind of, like, ease the pain of the tension of being a writer at that place because it's got to be insanely, like, pressure-ish. Yeah.
It really is. And, like, shout out to Emil because he finally, you know, got his update. He's been working on that for a couple weeks. But, you know, he finally got to do it.
And what a crazy talk. I think he's the first – I mean, I don't know if he's the first one to, like, talk about, like, the Middle East issues. Oh, right. But, like –
rami kind of yeah but like cast member wise i remember aristotle was somewhat doing that but he was doing more like characters like robots and shit like that he wasn't like talking about being like from lebanon you know yeah it's like a first for me to listen to so it's it's such a tough confusing we don't know what to do on either side if you're not from there kind of thing so to make a bit out of it that'll work on update which is like all jokes that shit had to be tough
logic is so even if you're going for the joke you're getting that is my point i guess i mean there is no pleasing of everybody either you know what i'm saying so like yeah i mean i i try to tell them like just try to relax and do what you think is funny kind of thing but it's it's really hard you know i mean because they're really trying to feel well they're trying to check a bunch of boxes for people which is which is tough because there's always going to be somebody that was just like not funny right or like go home this shit is lame blah blah blah
Yep. When everybody else, like 99% of people are just like, yeah, good effort. You know what I mean? It was pretty funny, blah, blah, blah. Or I loved it. Yeah. You know, just above the line kind of stuff. But there's always some pice of shit. Yep. They're out there. You know what I mean? It just wants to take shots, I guess.
Yeah. Them exchanging jokes is probably one of the greatest bits that Data's ever had. That's the best. You know what I mean? It just really is one of those like... all right, let's break down these tension walls. Yes. About being so sensitive these days or whatever, even if it's only for 15 minutes at Christmas.
And vice versa. Like when Che has to say something hyper racist too, it's just as great. Yeah. You know, it's just as great.
Yeah.
Just fucking manifesting. Whoa.
You want that cheek. You want that cheek. Meadows, Vanessa, that's wild. Oh, what's her face? When did Vanessa have time to sit in the audience?
Yeah.
