What is the main topic of this episode?
The bummer about us not showing video is that Jorm's got a big old piece of lettuce in his front tooth.
No, I don't. And he's lying. Because it's chocolate? You would never know. You would never know. And he's lying, though.
Oh, I see. It's a who-do-you-think-they're-going-to-believe situation.
That was a no and but. Improv.
It's the opposite of a yes and.
Yeah, no but.
It's the Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast. Yeah!
All right, I'm going to jump into it right away. Andy, I have a question. Okay. What was the word we asked you to listen for in the last podcast that you weren't there for? Oh, I definitely didn't listen to it. Honest to a fault. I don't listen to podcasts. Why would I listen to this one? I don't have time. I barely have time to do it. Wait, okay, so then Jorm, Jorm, I hate to do this to you. Jorm, do you remember what the word was?
Yes, Seth, and not because I practiced, but the word is pitiful. Nice work.
All right, Jorm, show us something. I guess I don't need that MRI. I did have massive doubts about whether or not you'd listen to the podcast with your three dear friends talking about work you did 15 years ago. What was it about? Which episode? Well, I guess that's the problem. You weren't in Cookies, so you had no interest. Oh, Cookies can eat shit. I don't know nothing about that. Actually, kind of the end of Cookies. It turned out the Cookies were stool samplers. Oh, right. Was it a James and Fred? Stool softeners, not stool. Oh my God, if Cookies was me.
Cookies can eat shit.
Well, did you listen to the one before, though, Seth? Did you know the word was periwinkle? Yes. That was how we started the last podcast. If you had listened, you would have known that, Andy. But I never said I was going to and feel no shame about skipping. Well, that's coming across. The lack of shame in your voice. I didn't know I was expected to. It's your friends. Yeah, I don't care. Well, here's the thing, though. I mean, again, we're going to get to the short in the Neil Patrick Harris episode, which is a Doogie Howser-inspired short. That might actually even be the title of it. But the thing you missed out on, Andy, is a five-minute voice note from Rob Klein about the sketch Lamps. Oh, classic. It was a good voice note.
Now, obviously, we've heard, and everyone listening to this podcast has heard, so this is fun. What's your take on lamps? Super underrated, obviously. I'm guessing by your tone, you shat on it, because what else would you have done? I didn't. He just described it, I'll say, because I barely remembered it until I saw a photo of it. He just described it. By the way, it was a deeply traumatic experience for Klein. Yeah, Klein was saying so much crazy stuff that I thought maybe he was doing a bit on the voice note because I had no memory. I didn't remember that it was a sketch that was derided at the show for months to come. Do you remember it that way? No, I just have memories that it aired and was a nice little confection and came and went. And then I was happy about it and that we would always joke about how we were going to make the lambs movie. So as an actor on the show, you were shielded from the criticism.
We're really, yeah, we're really learning the difference between being a writer and being a performer. Was it, it was getting shat on in the writer's room. Is that what I'm to understand? Basically, Shoemaker told Klein, Lorne hates lamps. Oh. Yeah, it was more in that room. Why did he pick it? Though he could hate it. You know, a lot of people sounding off in the comments this week saying, we don't understand Lorne. Why would he pick something and then passive aggressively make Klein feel bad all week? It didn't make sense. We also looked at the rundown and there were eight things cut. Oh, that's why. Between dress and air. Yeah. But does that mean there were eight things worse than Lamps and he was stuck with it?
Clearly. We didn't understand why. Maybe Hugh Laurie liked it. Maybe Hugh Laurie was Team Lamps. I remember thinking it was very light and fun.
