Chapter 3: What insights does Sarah provide about the pressures of performing on SNL?
And I'm like, yeah, good, exactly. So even the negative reviews have been, because all you could ever want out of making something is that it is what it's supposed to be. It's breaking bread. A good coffee is amazing. Like I'll go to sleep the night before thinking about the amazing coffee I'm going to have. But it's like, I mean, I'm not, my tongue is stupid.
Like I'm not actually going to taste something amazing.
Yeah. I'm not going to know the difference. Just, just tell me.
I'm always surprised when this is good. Like in the hotel room, a little, you just press a button and I'm like, Oh.
The Nespresso Keurig things in the hotel are okay to use. The little coffee makers. I heard some flight attendants say that they would clean their underwear in them because it's boiling water.

Chapter 5: What creative processes does Sarah use when developing her comedy material?
And I wore a bloody tampon pin for the marinara sauce show. That's so nice.
When did you start being fun and colorful?
I grew up being obsessed with the nanny. I'm a Jewish girl from Long Island, so my aunt would take me to Filene's basement. That's where Fran Fine would go on the show and get all her bright and tight. This is actually very Fran Fine.
Yeah.
I love the nanny. I love her.
She was so good.
It's legitimately the funniest show.
Yes. It really is.
She's funny.

Um, I guess you do. Oh, you have Phyllis Diller. You don't need to add anything. It's perfect. You don't need to add anything. It's perfect.
Yeah. We had to, uh, we recently moved Jack Klugman over there. He was from the odd couple. Oh, uh, my wife had a crush on him when she was, he was her nanny.
Sure.
And, uh, and once I heard that that was like her crush, uh, I was like, oh, I think I have a shot here with that guy. But nobody knew who he was and he was prominent in the middle. So we had to slide him over.
Chapter 8: How does Sarah view the impact of social media on her comedy career?
You know, it's funny though, when we take pictures at the end, he's always looming over us. I think we just have to, maybe we'll send you home with it.
Eric Andre for my birthday got me a framed picture of Polly Walnuts that he did a fake signature on. So it's like on my shelf in my house, there's this like giant gold framed bad printer paper picture fake sign by Polly Walnuts. And it's always the thing in my house that people are like, what's that?
Yeah, it's cool. How long did you work with Eric?
I met him, I opened for him at Comedy on State in Wisconsin. And he thought me and my friend Toler Wolf, the club manager at the time, we were living in Chicago and he was like, you two Chicago freaks would be perfect for opening for Eric Andre this weekend. So we took the bus to Madison. And Eric thought we were like local Wisconsin comedians. And so he was like, his mind was blown.
Because he didn't know we were Chicago Hot Shots. He just thought we were.
He didn't know you were cool kids.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then I started touring with him, and that was just... Wow. I was so spoiled. I've been very spoiled with who I get to open for in my life.
