Thank you, Ella. Wow, Lamorne, you remind me of Idris Elba. Whoa, how handsome
1:12
Damn you, sexy. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Who is your favorite SNL host of all time
1:18
I think Ryan Gosling is just the hunk of our age His recent spin the monologue is one of the most fun openings I ever seen of SNL ever I probably say Chappelle
1:31
He doesn't give a s***. That's great. Him or Bill Burr. I would say one of those two. Probably my two favorite hosts
1:36
Coss that. Woo! That was dangerous. What iconic SNL sketch do you wish you could have been a part of
1:44
If I could have just been the third Spartan cheerleader, that would have made young Corey very happy
1:52
I would love to be just around the table for, you know
1:57
the Pedro Pascal episode. Is it Samantha from Temecula? It's something like that where she's cutting her bees
2:03
Oh, my God. And they're all corpsing just to sit. I'd probably say anytime Colin Jost and Michael Che
2:13
write each other's uh material uh-huh i'd like to be there for that 15 years ago a buddy of mine
2:19

2:25
dark very racist half the way half the wedding party was like what the are they doing wait did
2:32
they didn't know but my buddy who's getting married is one of the silliest okay chris page
2:36
if you're watching he's an idiot so he uh he was all about it yeah his wife not so much what's your
2:42
Your favorite Gilderadness sketch character, and can you do your best impression Violins on television Oh never mind Her nanny growing up was this lady called Divvy and Divvy was who inspired Emily Lutella
2:59
And in this film, I have this backstory that no one else is gonna know
3:04
where she's already starting to think about Emily Lutella, and that's what she's doing in the mirror at the top
3:09
I think there were moments where we each got to, like, put in little Easter eggs
3:14
You know, they're not in the script, but we did the work, like our favorite little moments of like researching these people
3:19
And that is, that's like a really special. I love Emily Lutella
3:23
I also love Judy Miller, but I am not going to hop about like a little girl. Who is your favorite recurring SNL character of all time
3:31
Oh man. Anytime Tina plays Steve Harvey. I always used to really literally get a kick out of Molly Shannon being 50 years old
3:39
But MacGruber is also one that I really love because it's so stupid in a great way
3:46
I'm going with MacGruber, I'm changing my name. Okay. Between stage lights falling, wardrobe racks shattering glass, and breaking down doors
3:53
there were a lot of faux pas before going live that first show
3:57
What are some memorable production mishaps you've encountered on a set? There is a prosthetic in the film and it belongs to J.K. Simmons
4:05
There was a time he just keeps whipping out this prosthetic. you know, to humiliate me
4:11
And one of the times that prosthetic whipped out it whipped out and smacked the ground I think the camera did a little pan down on that That crazy I tell you one from this set I was going to a basketball game and I was told by another buddy who was going to that basketball game that Cooper was coming and we be sitting right next to each other
4:29
And I thought, oh, awesome. Now here we are, first quarter, there's no Cooper
4:33
And I'm like, Hollywood, show up whenever you want. Second quarter, no Cooper
4:38
I'm like, damn, third quarter, here comes Cooper with a cast on his hand
4:42
Because apparently that day he improvised a moment where he just punched a door and broke his hand
4:49
What a commitment to silliness. A light also once fell on my head on set
4:53
Ooh, ow. Thanks, season two of Woke. Should we move on? Yeah
4:57
Okay. Your character, Garrett Morris, floors everyone with their singing and belting chops
5:04
What's your go-to shower song that you always belt? Englebert Humperdinck. What
5:10
Quando, quando, quando. I love that song so much. It's such a ridiculous song
5:16
Tell me when will you be mine. Tell me quando, quando, quando
5:25
We can share our love divine. Please don't make me wait again
5:34
Oh my God. Yeah, yeah, that's part of it. Shall we toss these together
5:40
Yes
