in order to tap into yourself to make something artistic that will resonate with people. Immediately when you are done with this really sensitive process, it's almost like you need to harden everything about yourself that made you able to make that thing to then put up with a barrage of the criticism that's going to come about the project because no one will ever be happy.

You never make something that everyone loves. in order to be in a bunch of rooms with people where you kind of, you know, and look, for me, I love meeting new people. I can't say that it's always this crazy strain, but certainly you go to the point of exhaustion where if you kind of don't harden yourself up a little bit, like you're just going to feel terrible.

And so I've always been really fascinated by we need the most sensitive people to suddenly be business people. And that is captured really well in that episode.

It was actually really wild because I did fast that whole week. In a way, SNL's hours are a bit Ramadan friendly because everyone is up until these really, you know, it's almost like they could all do Ramadan all the time because they leave the office at like three in the morning and then they sleep in until, you know, like noon or whatever and then come and they work really hard.

I'm not saying that like they're slacking, but in an odd way, it works. It did work, but it was certainly a strain because you can't have that coffee to start the day. And I felt like I probably had a more calm week because I was fasting because stuff would be going down. And I go, you know, this is probably just Ramadan brain and it's not actually a big deal.

And so I got to kind of lean into that. But I'm pretty sure if I had just been eating, I would have been like, this is crazy. This is so nuts. Yeah. But so much fun. I had so much fun. It was really a group of people. And when you go through that week with them, too, when you see them later, you just feel like you're seeing family because you went through that week.
