The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast.
Hey, everybody. Welcome to the Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast. We're doing another special episode. It is very much due to all the turmoil in Los Angeles and just trying to figure out the logistics of doing this. But we have a very exciting guest today. First of all, I'm here with Jormel. What's up, Jorm? Woo!
I'm pumped.
I feel like terrible choice of vibe and energy right after I talked about. Yes.
And I'm also somber. Yes.
We're also joined by Mike O'Brien. Hello, Mike. What's up, guys? I'm somber, too. Yeah, I feel like you're laid out a real what not to do. Sorry. All right. So, Mike, this is very exciting. You did a series of short films at SNL, most of which I realized when I went back to watch were after I left. But I was there when you got hired. What year did you start at the show?
2009 was when I got the Seth Meyers call. But jumping back real quick, I was flown out from Chicago in 2004, waiting to go in and do an in-studio audition next to a young Yorma. and we were chitchatting and talking about calling our parents or something. Do you have any recollection of it? It'd be a book.
Oh my God. The minute you actually said it, but I was so nervous. I was probably between vomiting when I talked to you. But as soon as you said it, I was like, that's right. Yeah. I have no idea where that was because it was not in 8H. No, we're it's such a bummer to like have the experience of auditioning for the show and then not get to at least have been on the stage at age. Yeah. Yeah.
We were in some side room, some shitty side room.
