What is the main topic of this episode?
It's the Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast. Hey, everybody. Welcome to the Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast. This one, I've been looking forward to this one. It's the Ashton Kutcher episode. The name of the short is Daiquiri Girl. And I'm just going to tell you that right as we're doing this, Akiva is watching it right now. Andy just watched it. And Andy, you had a big smile on your face. Yes. Which I was happy to see. Yeah.
I mean, nostalgia alone, just for having been alive during the time it was occurring and had gone through that experience.
So you were smiling about life. It was not about the actual work. I mean, no.
I don't know how to even approach my feelings.
I also want to note that when it ended, you said, Jesus Christ.
I didn't, like, feel a big swelling of pride ever watching it. It was more just like, well, that was one week at the show.
What behind-the-scenes stories are shared about Daiquiri Girl?
Here's what I want to say. Keeve, are you done? We'll wait for Keeve. He's got a minute to go. This is also, for those of you who have not come back and watched Daiquiri Girl, it is 90 seconds. Yeah, a long 90. It is a long 90. I will say. I think it is very fair to say it's a long 90. But for the time it spent on television, for a brief minute and a half, it has made a huge impact on my life. Well, I love that. For those who are there, Daiquiri Girl evokes a massive memory of a time at the show. Daiquiri Girl can be slang for a thing that happens at SNL. Now I'm going to wait for Keeve, who I guess is maybe watching it at 0.5 speed.
Yeah, he likes to slow it down a little bit so he can really get granular. You know what I'll say, Seth? What's that? I certainly don't think there has ever been something exactly like it before or since.
Yeah, I think that's very true. Yeah. Keev, are you with us? Yeah, I just watched it. It was a little slower than I remembered. Keev did not crack nary a smile. No, I was smiling the whole time. You were smiling. All right, good.
By the way, Jorm's not on this episode. He's in Finland making his movie. Good point, good point. I don't think he was there that week either, though. Yeah.
So here's the thing. Daiquiri Girl is so unique, and it represents a thing that I feel like a lot of people at SNL have felt. This was a forced to do a short short, correct? Yes. And oftentimes you are, and again, it's the price of victory. You guys were now a thing that Lauren was excited to have in the show. He depended on you. And everybody, when they started the show, wants to be that. But then every now and then you have that situation where like, well, we need one. And this is what it looks like when you got nothing. Yeah. So daiquiri girl could just like be a stand in for any like I feel as though it never took off his slang. But I feel like you could be like, oh, let's just say it was a real daiquiri girl of a week. Oh, my God. You know what I mean?
Because we've all been there.
Yeah, we could try to get that going now. Yeah. But most people's daiquiri girls don't end up on the show. We definitely thought it was not going to air.
Guys, I'm going to admit something to you. I thought it hadn't. I thought that Daiquiri Girl lived in my mind's eye as something that we just had gone back and watched from old dress rehearsal. Yeah. I cannot believe, not only did it air, it aired so high in the show. I feel almost like it was Lauren making you smoke a whole pack of cigarettes. Like it was that punishment. It is deeply audacious in its shittiness.
I remembered it being so mercifully short, and then it did not feel that way to me now watching. It felt... Everything could have been at double time, and I was watching at regular time for the record. I heard your comments. But that's how long it felt. When you guys were watching me watch, you're like, it couldn't possibly be this long, but it is.
I feel as though you can hear in the audience what I felt watching it. Which is everybody at this point had a real trust in what you guys were going to do. And they were waiting for the second shoe to drop. And so there was some early laughs that were the kind of laughs that were, oh, I can't wait to see where this is going to go. And then it just was that. So backstory at first.
