You make really funny shit.
Yeah, because everything that I watched or in my daily kind of existence was just like I just devoured that stuff.
And I met Maya when she started SNL.
Do you find that funny people are generally pretty serious when they're at home?
I really do want to know.
That was at the time with Will Ferrell and Molly Shannon.
And I had met Molly Shannon.
And she said, you know, you could come and you can see how we do this.
And at the time I was writing Punch Drunk Love and I was obsessed with that time that Sandler had been there, so I accepted that offer to come and look and then watch, you know, behind the scenes.
And then Molly said, well, you know, you can direct a short.
So I directed a short with her in it and just got to kind of witness the inner workings of this whole thing.
And at that time, I was also getting to know Sandler and asking him about his time there.
