Well, it was crazy because I remember this is jumping right to the end of the process. It was like Friday night and we had got a good cut going and we were like, wanted to flag it ahead of time. So we knew what was going on. And so we had asked Lauren to watch it way earlier than you would ever watch any other short to be like, we made a thing.

It has Yorma in it, number one, because we knew we were supposed to be cast and And we did it with our label. So it costs money, but not to SNL, which was also new. And it looks great. It had not spent one penny. It was record label money. So we had not had to ask permission to have it be Jorm and Andy.

We had just made it and it was going to come out the way music videos come out with or without SNL. But of course we wanted to tear on SNL. And so we just presented it to Lorne, like, look at this polished, cool new thing we made that has Justin Timberlake in a cameo as well, by the way. And do you want to air it? We're making a clean version. And he was like, yeah, I want to air it.

And it can air like that. It doesn't need to be a clean version. That's fine. Jizz is fine. And we were like, what is it? To me, it was a dirtier word than dick. Almost any word that's on the show. Yeah. And it went all the way to Jeff Zucker, who was running NBC at the time, and he had to watch it. And he said, it's OK as long as it's after 1230. And that is why it aired so late.
