What challenges did the hosts face on the snow day?
uh all right can we start sure yeah uh yeah let's start off i'm assuming the explosions are going way longer now let's see oh i wish i wish
Nope. Same amount. Same one. Hey, everybody. Welcome to the Lonely Island and Seth Meyers podcast. Snow Day edition. It's a Snow Day edition. So we're supposed to be recording Great Day. Yeah. We might actually record it tomorrow. It is Sunday. It is a crazy storm has hammering the East Coast. Yorm and I, who live on the East Coast, have managed to work our way to podcast studios just through, like, driving sleet. I'm not at a podcast studio.
I'm at my friend Jake's house. There's, like, four kids downstairs screaming and playing Mario Kart.
That's great, Yorm. I was doing a bit, and I was going to eventually get to the fact that Andy couldn't make it. Yeah, because of the snow. You look like you're in a studio, though, Seth. Yeah, well, I'm actually in my office because it's better podcasting. But at least Andy gave us 30 minutes warning that he couldn't do it.
For me, it was less because I just checked the G. Wait, so Seth, so you still traveled from your apartment to your studio, even though it's a Sunday?
I was coming in from north of the city. I abandoned my family to come here. I was supposed to come back Monday morning, and then I started panicking that I was not going to make it back. Because as of this minute, we are going to tape tomorrow. And I was just worried I was not going to make it back to the city to do my late night show.
Do you guys remember early days of SNL?
How does Akiva feel about the Chip and Dale movie?
There was a blizzard our second or third year? I can't remember what it was. But people were cross-country skiing in Times Square. That was one of the coolest things I've ever seen.
I remember the only show which I was worried was going to happen for SNL last night. It did not happen for SNL last night. But when Paul Giamatti hosted, which was before your time, the weather was so bad that the after party was just in 30 Rock. That's incredible. Like a conference room where they just had like bad wine and beer. That's such a fucking drag. Which is also like Giamatti's the perfect host to have that happen. A thousand percent. Just like the saddest after party. Like somebody would write a movie about him hosting SNL. Yeah.
And that's what it is. Yeah. Wait, so wait, the storm right now, is it supposed to get worse?
It is supposed to get worse. It's supposed to basically go all day. It's pretty white out conditions. It looks like there's about eight inches down. But I think the roads are going to get worse tomorrow because it's going to stay cold and everything's going to freeze. Yeah.
Yeah. So there's worry that like your audience doesn't show up?
I think people in New York are going to be fine. I just think that if you were out of the city, getting into the city will be hard.
Yeah. We walked over here and my five-year-old daughter did not enjoy like block seven of getting over here.
What stories did Seth share about his time on SNL?
I'm sure. But things must be pretty harrowing in LA as well, Keeve, if Andy couldn't make it.
Yeah.
You know what? Their family's been passing around a little bit of a cold of some sort. And so there's a lot of chaos right now.
Now, don't you feel bad, Seth? You fucking dick.
I also have a cold.
That's fair. Seth, how often did you come into our office at SNL and Andy was on the couch feeling a little under the weather?
I would say passing around a cold is what I would say. Outside of making really funny songs, that is what the Lonely Island did. Yeah, the three of us, just the same cold. By the time the first guy was good again, he would just get it. They would say, like, what is it like working with a lone lion? And I'm always like, well, you know, one's always a little sick. And they were like, oh, no, I meant the music. I'm like, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, the music, too.
There was a small room. So because Great Day is a short that we're proud of and it's one of our main ones in our minds, criterion in our minds, we can't do it without Andy is what our text thread was talking about. And we agree. But what is this podcast if we are just always...
