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.
he was at the comedy store we all went over there and just goofed around yeah super fun when I was there last fall I did a sketch for you know because I was asked to be in this weird show he does like oh that's right and and I came out and I went all out and played a dead silence and he we talked about we talked about that it's funny how you say it haunted you for months you know, you're just sort of, it's just sort of a strange feeling, you know, when you commit that hard, but the sketch is really funny because it's so bizarrely abstract, like anything could happen any second in it.
I like he's broke it down to camera angles and writing and where everyone was in the placement. It's so interesting to hear that stuff about a sketch and then you, and then you go watch it.
People watch it on YouTube. Hang out with him. You know, he's, he's a man with a plan. He sees, uh, You know, he's just kind of at a point where he's starting to get really famous, so forth and so on.
How did Marcello land his role on SNL?
New movie with Kevin Hart coming out. He's got a lot of stuff happening. Very humble, nice guy. Here he is, Marcello.
I want to go for a long time. And then we're having lunch, right? You're buying me lunch.
Oh, Jesus. We're going out for lunch, you said. We can if you want.
Is this your kind of mic drop? I mean, you've been running, are we recording?
Yeah.
Saturday Night Live.
Did you do anything canceled on this? No. Okay, because I can't wear it if you do something like that.
It was called a hit show across the international. I'll do my koi haunts for you. What are you going to do?
Well, just the koi horns. Uh-oh.
We have to hope he knows all of our old shit. Someone is getting famous. I can't turn on the TV and not see him. Crushing on SNL and the Grammy. Oh, yeah. It's too far.
Anyway, our guest today, I had to do it, but we know each other a little bit.
I know, nobody applauded, but we don't usually applaud.
We'll put it in later. No one ever applauded.
Yes, great. Well, I will say you have two guys in here that can only be described as what, what?
They both look like they say what. This one's had COVID since I met him, and this one has lupus.
Oh, no. I made that up. Okay, good. It's not a funny word. So anyway, we should say that when I was on SNL for that 10 weeks, that's where we got to know each other a little bit. Got to hang out. You gave me a sweater. Oh, this is a sore subject. Yeah. Why? No, it's not a sore subject. Did you tell people that I bullied you out of the sweater? Not at all. Yeah, he did, right?
No. Took it off his back. Give me that. Give it to me. I'll let Dan take it.
It's very me. People go, oh, he's a people pleaser. I've decided, no, I'm nice. Does it have to be negative?
