I was actually up for SNL, and I always say I didn't get it. One of my best friends at the time got it, and I always say it only took 13 short years to get the office. It was a long 13 short years. It was a long 13 short years. Did you audition for Lauren? You know what? Lauren came to see a show I did. I had lunch with Lauren. I had interviews with Lauren.

I didn't get to do the final round, but I was in consideration, and I was just at the SNL 50th at the concert at Radio City, and... It was so great. Obviously, I've had a lot of therapy because I just had a great time.

We have reached the pinnacle of success, Chrissy. There is no... Greater hill to climb than having one of the, I'd say one of the main characters. Oh, yeah. From one of the best television shows that has ever been, ever, and ever will be. I think we can all agree that The Office is hilarious in so many ways. Brilliant for almost ten seasons. I think it was ten seasons. I think it was ten seasons.
