What is the SNL 50th recap about?
Hey everybody, this is the SNL 50th recap episode, and it is brought to you by our very special sponsor this week, Airbnb.
It's the Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast. Hey, dudes.
Seth. It's been eight days since the SNL 50th. Yeah. And I feel as though, based on my highs and lows, I think I'm coming back to the middle. I'm coming back to Seth the human being before it all started. I'm still hungover. But I think I had some lows going into it, super highs during, totally crashed after. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Took stock of my life.
How did the SNL 50th impact Seth Meyers?
Felt like it had been a major, more than any other milestone in my life, maybe was a bigger one. Felt way more midlife crisis-y than my 50th birthday. Right. You know what I mean? Oh, really? Yeah. Because it was such a milestone, you were like, oh man, I guess I am old. Yeah. It felt like afterwards, I just walked by a graveyard that had tombstones with all our names on it. But there was like a party in the graveyard. Yeah. Which was a good way to remember we're all going to live forever because we worked on a show that is as iconic as SNL.
Yeah.
Definitely emotionally hungover.
But I bet it was a good emotional hangover.
And Seth, let me ask you a question.
Yeah.
You still do it late night? I haven't.
I'm on a two-week hiatus, maybe the most kindly scheduled hiatus I've ever had. Ah, yes. I gotta say, you look great, Seth. You look kind of tan. Certainly wouldn't have been ready to go back the Monday after that very late after-party, and still today on a Monday would not have been ready either. Quick trivia question. I do not know if this Instagram is true or not, but I just saw on Instagram screen time in the 50th anniversary special. Can you guys name the top three screen time gathering people at the SNL 50th? Like who was on camera the most? Yeah, so you have to be actually in the shot. Okay, me, number one. Yeah. Lauren, number two. Yeah. And Tina Fey, three. Great, so now we're going to let a real person try. Thank you, you are. Oh, okay.
I think Farrell has to be one of them because he was in two things. Number five. Ah, Marty Short? No.
Was Jost just because of update?
No, they're a little bit further down the list. In fact, they're both farther down the list, I believe, than our good friend Andy Samberg. Wow. But Kenan Thompson. Number one? Number one.
What was he in? He was in Scared Straight. He was a tiny part in Welk.
And Black Jeopardy, host of Black Jeopardy. Ah. Yeah. Just racking up the minutes.
I mean, it makes sense because he's the one who's been on the show the longest.
He has the most screen time in the history of the show. It is very in line with the history of the show. Number two, Amy Poehler, who did the Q&A and Bronx Beat. A lot of camera time there. Wonderful. Number three, fascinating, although it makes sense, Sabrina Carpenter did Domingo. Oh, yeah. Which I kind of like too, that a musician of the moment made their way in there.
I love that people do this as a hobby. So there's someone with a stopwatch doing this out in the world.
One would assume, although it would be super funny if someone, if we asked, how did you do it? And they were like, I just kind of guessed. Just guessed. Like that felt like 11 minutes, 13 seconds. We saw each other a lot in the run up to this. We did. And we saw each other during some gnarly times. Well, gnarly relative. Relative, but we did not have the air about us of, you know what's nice is all these years later, I've learned not to take it seriously. You were up to your knees in the short. Short and medley. And medley. Yeah. So you had a massive amount more on your plate than most people, Andy.
Yeah, I mean, I wonder what my screen time total ranking would have been if we included the Friday night show.
Yeah, because Kenan, noticeably absent, totally mailed it in on Friday. Well, he did an intro. Still, I don't think he would have caught you. No, definitely not. Although maybe those intros did sometimes. They were buying a lot of time.
Yeah, and by the way, Pharrell and Anna on fire at the Friday show.
