Chapter 1: What was Marcello Hernandez's experience like at the Grammys?
So I went backstage and I saw Queen Latifah and I was like, oh my God, Queen Latifah. And she spoke Spanish to me. And I was like, you speak Spanish? She was like, of course. Like, you know, she's just, she's that. She's the coolest. Look at me, no impression. Of course I speak Spanish.
I pulled it. That's your Queen Latifah. And he was Mexican?
No. I can't believe I'm sitting here. No, I said that so fast. I can't believe it. Wow. I heard it. You heard it, right? I'm next to Dana Carvey. I don't know what he was doing. Oh, sorry, David Payne. Like, I think, oh, wow. Jesus. That's Sebastian. I just got booked on a bigger podcast.
What a loser. So we've got Marcelo Hernandez.
Marcelo Hernandez.
He's a spark plug from NBC's Saturday Night Live.
Yes. And we did a sketch of them. We did a sketch. Church Lady with him and David did his now infamous Hunter Biden. Paula, my wife loved your hair, by the way, as Hunter Biden. So whatever that was, do that.
You know, it's funny because it's almost my hair like this, but it was still a wig. Because they really want to nail it perfectly. And you get the hair, everything. And Sarah Sherman was in that with us as Matt Gaetz. So anyway, Marcelo, we don't know him that well. We watch his stuff. He has a special out on Netflix. But I really get along with him. He's a fun dude.
He stayed after we went to lunch and then last night.

Chapter 3: What was the biggest on-air bomb Marcello experienced on SNL?
You were so cool. But here's what I want to know. We're at a photo shoot for the New Yorker magazine. No, that's an LSU. Where I hung out with Christopher Walken for like an hour by myself with him. You were doing so many bits to him.
He was doing a lot of bits to Christopher Walken.
But this is funny for old people. I said to him, do you paint? To Christopher Walken, do you paint? He's 82. Of course I paint. All old actors paint. Quote. Just like that. It's true.
I want to address that I'm wearing sunglasses because I'm trying to send the message that I went to a party last night. Oh yeah, you were at the Grammys.
I mean, this is because you're coming out Thursday. Whoops.

It was scary. I don't know. I get scared with stuff like that. I don't know what to do. Wait, so you didn't have a shirt when you came? No, I had a shirt when I came and they were like- Or did you take it off? Maybe, yeah.

Chapter 4: Who could potentially take over SNL after Lorne Michaels?
And they bring in seat fillers. Sometimes when people win, they leave if they win or don't win. And now they bring in seat fillers so it never looks empty, but there's less and less space.
populated stars it's a sad thing to watch sometimes because they sit down they i saw i saw this one girl she's a sea filler she sits down the guy goes can i get you something to drink one of these guys and she's like yes i'll have a water and the guy goes no problem he hands her the water and she goes she goes to put her lip to it and then somebody goes up up up now get up now out out
And then somebody famous sits there. So that was a lot. That is so funny.
It is very sweet. At that SNL 50th. I'm a filler and then they take them away.
At the SNL 50th, they gave me a juicy front row seat. And then they go, she's like, it's you, then Bill Murray and Brandi Carlavagna. I go, great. So I sit down and it's empty. And they're like, five minutes. I'm like this. And then they go, everybody sit down. And then I'm waiting for Bill Murray. And then this fucking seat filler comes in. He goes, I can't believe I'm sitting here.
I'm a seat filler. I go, no fucking shit. I can't believe it either. Where's Bill Murray? And he was Mexican? No. He goes, I can't believe I'm sitting here.
No, I said that so fast. I can't believe it. Wow. I heard it. You heard it, right? I'm next to Dana Carvey. I don't know what he was doing. Oh, sorry, David Payne.
This is why I don't do impressions. You're dirty.
No, it was a hint. It was just like a hint. Yeah, it was a little hint.

Chapter 5: What Spanish lesson did the guys receive during the episode?
But I think it is crazy. I went up to Queen Latifah like a child, and I was like, Queen Latifah, I love you. It's so nice to meet you. I think you're amazing, and we love you in my house. And then she's like, and I know you, and you are very funny, and I love what you're doing, and thank you for bringing the Latino energy to SNL. And I was like, those moments are surreal to hear them sing.
And then you said to her, do you know the character Domingo? Do you know it? No, no. And she goes, I got to go. I'm Queen Latifah.
And you start doing the Domingo dance?
Yeah. What's that?
It's not that.
No, he has epilepsy. You can't even dance in the impression.
Domingo is cool. I mean, he populates the show, right?
Yeah. It's a very... I think he's retired now.
Have you toned it down on Domingo? Have you said maybe... Well, it's not mine, so I don't... Oh, they write you in it.

Chapter 6: How does Marcello feel about his character Domingo on SNL?
This is another lane though. This is great, because it's another flavor. It's a whispery, almost swallowing the word. She's not gonna tell me. That your little job is more important than the life of my baby. You understand?
This is a feast. She's a good girl.
And she never did nothing to you.
When are you going to do them next?
I don't know. On the show. I don't know. I hope we do them again.

But does Lorne ever go, um, maybe Sebastian is weak.
He is definitely, he looks out, uh, for sure. Like if you, but the first, the first thing I ever did on the show was a Lorne request. The first thing that like ever was good was, um, the baseball thing about how white baseball players are boring to watch and Latino baseball players are fun to watch. It was, I had nothing in the show was my second show.
And, he brought me into his office and he was like, um, It was his idea? Yeah, he was like, I don't want to do a Lord impression, but I have a good one.

Chapter 7: What insights does Marcello share about the current state of Latin music?
What's the thing when I came out?
Oh, Zapato Gigante.
We'll talk about that in a second. Yes. One of the biggest bombs. It haunted me. It haunted me for months. Please show a clip of Dana doing this. But we'll talk about that in a sec. That was a tough one. But I noticed that you... in a nice way, casually, you're like talking to Liz and like, I think this should be here, here. Same thing with the baseball player.
I think I should do this and this, you know, and that's, you're like, that's really, really a great skill set to have.
Well, I don't know if I'm a boss in general, but with Latin stuff, I do feel like-
people really, you know, they sort of look out for their character or the sketch, that's all.
Or also the camera, you're like, make sure, if I get up, make sure you stay on me. Or I'm gonna do something like this, so cover it. Because sometimes they're like, we weren't on you. Or you do a movie and you ad-lib something, they go, great, let's do it again, we weren't on you. And I'm like, oh my God. It's something that really works in the moment.
But that's good, that's smart, at least you have the balls to say something. That was a tough thing. Well, that day?
Yeah, I think it was just like. No, I know what happened, but you tell your side of the story. What do you think happened?

Fuck yeah, Unc. You heard me.
Talking to the Marcella.
I can't. Don't just look at me. Marcella, you don't make me get to all my questions about you. Have you ever heard of TikTok?
What's your relationship with TikTok?
I like you. I'm not legally supposed to be on it, but I'm on it. At 40, they say it's kind of for younger people.
You know what it says. Don't ever give the paper away. I didn't memorize it. Up here it says, no dad. Whoa. Well, I saw your special.
Whoa.
I saw your special.
No, don't do this. Don't do that. I won't do it.
