Okay,

great.

We're talking billions of heads.

Okay.

The unanimous consensus.

Unanimous, meaning every single person.

Every member of the planet Earth race of human.

think is movies should have one woman in them, played

Mm.

Uh, he, uh, was delightful.

We had a sketch that got on.

Um-

... goes through a person's mind, though, when it's like [laughs]-

Shit is real slap happy up in here, man.

[laughs] I can't tell if it's 'cause I'm not talking enough or if you're just on fire.

[laughs]

Love you too, Seth.

Joke's on you, Seth, you piece of human dog shit, because I came in at the 11th hour right before release of the pod to let you know I did not get Queen B, but I'm also not done yet, so I still might get it.

It's one of those really unsatisfying chime-ins.

But anyways, I wonder what you guys talked about on this ep.

I wouldn't know 'cause I don't listen to podcasts.

All right, uh, shout-out, shout-out Quaid army, and, uh, I love you guys.

It was, it was better.

I feel like yours was too raspy, just like you said, Jon Hamm.

Oh, you guys.

[sighs]

Oh, it's funny.

I don't know.

If you wanna cut this in half and put the spelling bee thing before it, who cares? I didn't do it clean.

It wasn't a Quibi.

And try to go as quickly as possible.

Golden State Warriors, Cleveland Cavaliers, Utah Jazz, Detroit Pistons, Boston Celtics, New York Knicks, LA Clippers, LA Lakers.

Uh, s- did I say Sacramento Kings already?

Nope.

Uh, Philadelphia 76ers, Miami Heat, Milwaukee Bucks, uh, Eugene Flimflams.

Uh-

And it's in-

in-That style, but it's also updated, and Liam's amazing, and Pam's amazing, and Keev did a great job.

The writers with him did a great job.

Mm-hmm

... movies.

The, anything like that where it was like you could actually have, like, a giant thing fall through frame and no one will acknowledge it or something, [laughs] you know?

We are just screaming

screamingWhat's up chumbos? It's Andy chiming in again.

Uh, let's see.

The sample, Jorm, is ELO, "Tightrope," the great Electric Light Orchestra, one of our faves.

I'm surprised you didn't remember that because years and years later, we loved "The Heist" so much, we even were like, "Should we just put it out, like in an official way or like re-record it or clean it up?" And we were like, "I don't think we can afford an ELO sample," even given some of the samples we did pay for, and that kind of squashed it at that point, so we never put it out in an official capacity because of that, was my recollection.

Um, but hit us in the titties.

Tell us if you disagree with that account.

Do you agree? And also tell us about, uh, how you did on Spelling Bee.

... and in everyone's mind.

I think that's one of the best examples of one, where people are like, "Oh, that's so cool.

It's Michael Bolton, it's funny." And then when you see him actually physically interrupting us and sort of dragging the video down into his [laughs] Pirates of the Caribbean obsession, it, it makes it a lot more fun.

Hmm.

Then she left and then I went down and blocked scenes with Justin, and then we both finished and they set up s- uh, sh- all the studio stuff in the building.

She came back, got into hair and makeup and stuff, and we started shooting I'm gonna say at like 11:30 or midnight.

But that's a very specific Lorne.

And he goes, uh, "And do you think you could do this? Do you think you could live in New York?" And I was like, "Oh yeah, I've lived here before.

Lived here for two years recently." (laughs) He's like, "Okay, well, we're gonna all go out to dinner, so you should come." And I was like, "Okay." And I walked out and I looked around and it was like, Jen and Shukus were there and I was like...

And they were like, "So?" And I was like, "I don't know.

Did, what happened?" And they were like, "You got it."

Mm-hmm.

Like, he did a thing, I think, like, Britney Spears one week was the musical guest, and he, like, did a rap dedicated to Britney Spears- Love it.

... that we thought was super funny, yeah.

Yeah.

There's certain things that we can't explain why really bother us in that way, like auditory or sensory in any way.

I think if you're with somebody, you are allowed to tell them a few things like that.

But be warned, if you bring it up, there's a strong chance you've got a few for them also, and it might come back at you.

[laughs] And I don't, I don't know how it got there.

What, what's the situation where you as a parent of two small children ever get something on your back? Like, were you guys, did one of your kids, like, is one of your kids a coward and they could-

Yep.

Uh, they knew we had made videos, Keegan-Yorm had made a video while we were working there just for fun, and they were like, "If you guys could do more of these..."... for basically nothing, which is what we had been doing, uh, and used the cast.

Like, we're always looking for things to change over sets, basically.

Yeah.

Uh, so it kinda happened very fortuitously and kinda under the radar.

And we did a, we did one with Forte called Lettuce where we're eating heads of lettuce, and then we tried another one that didn't air till later, and then the third one we shot for SNL was Lazy Sunday.

And then it was like, "Oh, that went better than we were expecting."

Right.

Comedy BangBang.

Comedy BangBang.

Comedy BangBang.

Comedy BangBang.

Comedy BangBang.

Comedy BangBang.

I'm not sure it's not, but...

Uh, when I was at SNL, me and Fred Armisen wrote a commercial parody called Sue Cereal, where it was breakfast cereal that was raw fish.

No way.

She has like four half-siblings on her father's side, and then like a couple first cousins still with us, and their family's on her mother's side.

And the craziest thing about it by far, that's like from a movie that I get chills still talking about, is once she connected with both s- both sides of the families, they both, unbeknownst to each other, went looking through her biological parents' old stuff they still had, and they both found the same photograph of the two of them together.

What do you remember from that time?

Well, the starting point of it for me was when I did a guest week on Parks, which was one of the most delightful weeks of my life.

Um, and I remember very vividly having a conversation with you that week where it was like, "Everyone's so nice.

Everyone's so funny.

The writing's good." And I remember your quote exactly was, "It's a good life, Samberg." And I, I held onto that, like, very tightly.

I believe the story is I found out on a Friday.

Friday.... and we spent the whole weekend sweating it out and being like, "Andy, you have to take it." Like, they were being so nice.

They were like, "You have to take it.

It's your dream." And if they hire both of us, we'll come, but if they only hire one of us, then we'll stick together.

You'll go off without us." And it was, like, super dramatic and intense.

And by the way, like, it was.

We had been working together for five straight years and living together.

We put no preparation into this intro but I'm gonna let Andy do it.

Based on Titanic? Was it, wasn't it?

Yeah, like, the Titanic moment, but being, you know, we were already friendly with Rud, and knowing that he had done all that Stella stuff and would like that tone.

And being like, that's a good start for something, is me going into his dressing room and being like, "May I paint you?" And then cutting to the Titanic shot.

And then that was all we had, and I think then we just started pitching on weird things that could happen with it and it evolved.

Did you have a sense that you're like, "Ah, this one's gonna get re-watched"? Did you have that sort of sense? Are you just like, "Oh, this is just another thing, and hopefully people like it and it's funny."

Well, I was crazy geeked 'cause I was doing something with Beyoncé.

Yeah.

But I mean, you know no matter what it's, like, uh, gonna be a news item, an entertainment news item.

Yeah.

... as with many Forte pieces, often Forte pieces with John Solomon, often pieces with John Solomon and Jorma Taccone, they really hold up and stand the test of time. And I think there's a whole generation that holds them in the highest regard and sort of thinks of them how we thought of them at the time, which is that they were the funniest shit ever.

I think it probably wrote, I wrote it in the time it took you to watch it.

I can t- I can talk about it without the worry of having been the one to write it, Seth. It's a perfect host piece. It's a moment that Jon Hamm as an idea is red hot in the world, and everyone's super amped that he's on, and everyone loves Mad Men, except me, 'cause I hadn't seen it.
