We're also joined by Mike O'Brien. Hello, Mike. What's up, guys? I'm somber, too. Yeah, I feel like you're laid out a real what not to do. Sorry. All right. So, Mike, this is very exciting. You did a series of short films at SNL, most of which I realized when I went back to watch were after I left. But I was there when you got hired. What year did you start at the show?

She was like, stop. You built in a failstaff, which is you did a thing so terrible that you knew you'd get him to say stop at some point. Yes, exactly. Exactly. Oh, my God. Yeah. Good times. That is very bold. But it's interesting you said that because I am going to jump ahead. I was not in the decision-making team in 04, so I don't have the same recollection as you coming through then.

But I remember going to IO with Lorne in the lower room at the old IO when we were doing a showcase or we were seeing a showcase and you came out. I think the nice part of this is you did not learn your lesson. But Lauren sort of came around to appreciating what you're doing. Do you remember that bit you used to do about how you were going to come out and play the spoons?

And so I was a spoons guy who couldn't help but make those noises, I guess, or whatever. But you dragged a chair to the front of the stage. Lauren and I were pretty close to the front of the stage. And you're doing this spoons bit.

And it was very esoteric because I also feel like most other people that night, which probably would have been the advice I would have given you, did a way more classic SNL audition. Yeah. You did the spoons thing. You know, the moral of the story is one, your instincts were right. And two, it's a real credit to Lauren because I had known you. I was rooting for you to do well.
