I heard a really cute story of how you met your wife. You saw her on the television or in studio?

[Bobby Moynihan]

I was her improv teacher.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

Yes.

[Bobby Moynihan]

Which I hate saying out loud, but I had seen her. I remember the door opening. I was sitting in an improv class. The door opened. She walked in. She was wearing a red sweater. And the second she walked in the door, I went, oh, no. Because I remember, I was like, that's that girl I saw. She was in Avenue Q on Broadway, and they were on the Today show.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

Oh, the Today showing, the puppets.

[Bobby Moynihan]

And I remember thinking, I. That's a hot puppeteer. I've never seen a. A hot puppeteer.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

Never seen a lady puppeteer.

[Bobby Moynihan]

Yeah. So I remembered seeing her, and then the. Like, the day after class ended because I didn't want to get in trouble.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

No, that's totally fair.

[Bobby Moynihan]

I really needed that 100 bucks before taxes.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

And you got into the improv scene through Amy Poehler. Is that accurate?

[Bobby Moynihan]

Sure. Yeah. I, I. I was doing. I was an acting major in college. I was doing, like, a play in the city, and I was, like, wandering. I was, like, not super happy and just kind of wandering back to Grand Central. And I looked down the street, and I saw the UCB symbol, and I was like, oh, I love that show. And I went over and looked at what the. What it was, and it was a sign for the comedy club. And I. It was, like, just opening. And I walked in and was kind of like, what is this place? And saw an improv show and then went like, oh, I'm. I'm staying here.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

I want to do that.

[Bobby Moynihan]

Yeah, I saw Colton Dunn. You know Colton Dunn. He's on. He was on Superstore. I saw him do an improv show. And I went like, oh. Oh, this. Like, this is what I want to do. And I. I think I signed up for classes, like, that week.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

Oh, no. And so were you committing Amy?

[Bobby Moynihan]

But she. And then, like, she got snl, like, six months later or something like that. And I went like, oh, I'm staying. Right.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

I'm gonna be right here. Because you're as much as possible, a huge SNL fan.

[Bobby Moynihan]

Yeah, Yeah. I, I.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

Before.

[Bobby Moynihan]

Or.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

Yeah, I grew up.

[Bobby Moynihan]

Yeah, I mean, yeah, I grew up with it. I have. I have video or had a video of me as a child going like, Bobby Moynihan, like, coming out of the bathroom, like, pretending to do my SNL opening. Yeah.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

Gotta be crazy to look back on.

[Bobby Moynihan]

Yeah, it's surreal.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

Yeah.

[Bobby Moynihan]

It's nuts. I. There's a couple of those. There's a couple of weird ones. I have one. I have a very distinct memory of watching the Chris Farley on SNL with his mom and looking at my mom and being like, if I ever get on snl, you're doing this with me. And her being like, no. And then cutting to that phone call of calling her and being like, are you gonna do it? And she was like, I can't. And then she called me up three days later and was like, I'm gonna do it. I changed my mind. And she came and she did it. And I was a billion times more terrified than she was. It was the only time I was scared on that show. Yeah, you could see it. I'm pouring sweat, and she's just like, I want a line.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

It was great. What am I, just a pretty actress?

[Bobby Moynihan]

She literally was like, relax. This is gonna be like. She got like, you're ruining my manager.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

It was.

[Bobby Moynihan]

It was one of the best moments of my life.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

Speaking of Chris Farley, that's kind of how I feel right now. Just kind of telling you what you've done.

[Bobby Moynihan]

But that was awesome.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

That's kind of what I feel like

[Bobby Moynihan]

sketch in history because it's so real, it's so good.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

But. Okay, so you were, you were in school for acting, but was comedy a thought?

[Bobby Moynihan]

Yeah, I don't think I knew. I think I just knew I couldn't do math. I was like, I'm not giveaway. I'm not going to do real work. So I should like, I think Yukon. I went to Yukon because there was like there was a puppetry department and an acting major and I just went like, I don't know, I guess. And then they make. I. I couldn't afford school and they gave me money. So I was like, yeah, this place, it was crazy.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

The puppets make it a full circle in your life.

[Bobby Moynihan]

Yeah, I mean, I've always enjoyed those things.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

Yeah, those damn puppets. Yeah, they keep popping up.

[Bobby Moynihan]

Yeah, they make people happy.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

Yeah, they do.

[Bobby Moynihan]

I really always enjoyed Jim Henson and then got to work with them a bunch.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

I was just in a green room this weekend and the only they had a record player and the only record they had was Jim Henson and the Muppets.

[Bobby Moynihan]

My favorite record in the history of time is the Muppets Christmas with John Denver.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

Oh, that's what I meant. John Denver, Muppets Christmas. Yeah. Yeah.

[Bobby Moynihan]

Best album of all time.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

That's what it was. That's all they had. It's very funny.

[Bobby Moynihan]

Is it my house?

[Interviewer (Nora)]

So what's, what, what are your like favorite spots when you come back to town? Do you have, do you have that or are they all in my hotel room? Yep. Yep.

[Bobby Moynihan]

And that's it.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

Just a nice old fashioned snoozeroo.

[Bobby Moynihan]

I. I am no fun. No, no.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

Just like no reminiscing.

[Bobby Moynihan]

No, I. No. I snl after parties ruined me. I would, I would go to a party at one in the morning and come home neck the Sunday after at 5:00pm for 10 years.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

Yeah.

[Bobby Moynihan]

And now I go to bed at 7:00 clock at night or the second my children go to bed. I. I sleep and I get up at 4 in the morning in silence.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

That's a whole different 4 in the morning now.

[Bobby Moynihan]

Yes, very much so. I was going to bed at 4 in the morning or I was like just going out or we were going to the next place at four in the morning.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

Would you do the. So there's the after. Would you go to the after? After?

[Bobby Moynihan]

Oh, yeah.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

Yeah. And did you ever get to, like, bring your buddies or anything? I feel like that's like.

[Bobby Moynihan]

Yeah, that was the best part about. I mean, like, part of the. Part of being on SNL for 10 years was the currency of tickets and. Yeah, that's something I miss. That was a great thing to have. Yeah. It was like, hey, everyone from high school, you want to come meet this famous person this week?

[Interviewer (Nora)]

Yeah. And who's to say who else is going to be at the after party? Yes.

[Bobby Moynihan]

That was nuts. My beloved friend. There's nothing like my beloved friend from high school, Mike Henry, talking to Blake Lively at the after party.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

And you just trying to shoot a shot.

[Bobby Moynihan]

And he could. He's the best.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

That's great. Things could have been different, Blake.

[Bobby Moynihan]

You missed out. Mike Henry's a catch.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

You missed out. Now look at you.

[Bobby Moynihan]

Right?

[Interviewer (Nora)]

I actually. I have, like, a little icebreaker game, if you're cool with playing a game.

[Bobby Moynihan]

Yeah.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

Is that cool?

[Bobby Moynihan]

Yeah.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

So here's the name of the game. So you've heard of 7 degrees of Kevin Bacon?

[Bobby Moynihan]

Mm.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

This is my little twist. It's. This is. In this game, we're gonna find out just how many degrees you are from the following people in a game I like to call Fuck Kevin Bacon. It's Bobby time.

[Bobby Moynihan]

Oh, shit.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

Okay, up first we have Kilby Collet.

[Bobby Moynihan]

Isn't that a mad lib now?

[Interviewer (Nora)]

How do you know Kobe Kalei?

[Bobby Moynihan]

Me and Kobi Kalei were star crossed lovers in her music video for Falling for you.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

It's my favorite fun fact of all time.

[Bobby Moynihan]

It's a truly insane fact.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

How did that all come to be?

[Bobby Moynihan]

I wish I truly knew. I feel like they asked Andy and he said no. And they were like, who else you got? And Bill was busy and they were like, I don't know the new one. What's his name? And then I ended up in that video.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

Yeah, that's. That's.

[Bobby Moynihan]

It's absolutely insane.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

Wild. I just.

[Bobby Moynihan]

I would say this. And I would say this to Kobe K's face. I think she was equally as confused as you are.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

Really? Like, so do you think she showed

[Bobby Moynihan]

up that day and you're like, she was wonderful. Like, she was super kind and wonderful, but I did get the feeling that she was like. I thought. I thought maybe it was someone else.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

It was like an episode of Punks or something.

[Bobby Moynihan]

I have no idea what happened, but I do know that there was a drastic, like, style change. They were like, we're gonna make you, like, Italian. I was just like, whatever, guys. Truly insane. Truly an insane music that's up there with Mariah Carey and Jack McBrayer and the unicorn. Actually, nothing is that crazy. That's the best one ever.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

I don't know that one.

[Bobby Moynihan]

There's a Mariah Carey video with that. Jack McBrayer's in it. When they're both on a unicorn, I think. Or there's like a unicorn. I don't know exactly.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

As someone was on drugs. That's an absolute.

[Bobby Moynihan]

Not Jack McBrayer. I don't think he was just enjoying the ride.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

All right, up next we have Childish Gambino.

[Bobby Moynihan]

I. It's. That's crazy to me because I just see good old. Like a 13 year old boy that I used to hang out with. Yeah, it's. That's crazy.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

What was that?

[Bobby Moynihan]

When Donald. I met Donald when he was like 13. Trying to get me canceled. I met Donald when he was like really young.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

No, this isn't a gotcha part. I was just with him.

[Bobby Moynihan]

I love Donald. I saw. The last time I saw Donald was at. I was at Descanso Gardens with my daughter. And that. You know they have that train that just goes by and it was. I'm looking at the train as it goes by and the last car is the kid. And Donald Glover on the last car of the train, he went by and he just kind of looked at me and I was like, what am I looking at? And 10 minutes later he walked up and was like, it is you.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

And I was like, no way.

[Bobby Moynihan]

It was pretty great.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

All right, what about these two guys?

[Bobby Moynihan]

A see, don't even like, put the paper next to them. Touchdown. Look at those two. That's Billy Crystal and John Goodman. I love those guys. I'm in a couple Pixar movies now. It makes me happy.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

I'm not going to lie. Chet's my favorite part of Monsters University.

[Bobby Moynihan]

I'm so happy you know his name.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

Of course I know his name.

[Bobby Moynihan]

Yeah. I got to reprise it in Monsters at Work. I'm not super psyched and silly and proud about that.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

What is it?

[Bobby Moynihan]

They did the TV show Monsters at Work and Chad chill. I got to go do that.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

Your chat was all grown up.

[Bobby Moynihan]

I've seen it.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

It's great. It's awesome. And you got that Disney money. Who gives a. I can say it.

[Bobby Moynihan]

A my favorite. What a sweetheart. One of the most talented and. And wonderful people in the world. I love her with all my heart. She was also my. I took my daughter to see Inside out too, because I'm in it and she's in it. And she was so super kind to my daughter. And my daughter has a picture of her and IO.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

Oh, that's awesome.

[Bobby Moynihan]

Next to her bed.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

So when you record for these voiceovers, you don't get to see anybody, Right?

[Bobby Moynihan]

Sometimes you do. Okay, we did Inside Out. Me and Paula Poundstone recorded together like they flew. That's awesome. We recorded together. We got to improvise a bunch. I didn't see IO at all. Did we. Did I go with Paula for. I don't think I went with her for the second one. I think we did it separately for the second one. But sometimes. Sometimes I get to do it together. But she's the best, man. She's also so talented and wonderful.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

It's almost really funny. Like, you'll all do your work and then you come to the premiere and then you're like, oh, yeah, yeah, you're in this.

[Bobby Moynihan]

Well, that's why I love it, because it's like you get paid to get a gift.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

Yeah.

[Bobby Moynihan]

A gift of like, hey, look what hundreds of amazingly talented people made.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

Yeah. And the lists go on and on. It's very cool to be a part of. Part of something like that. I just.

[Bobby Moynihan]

I'm in Hoppers, this movie coming out March 6th, and I took.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

Is that about a squirrel?

[Bobby Moynihan]

Beavers.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

Sorry about that. It's okay.

[Bobby Moynihan]

Same animal, right? Just different tales.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

That's gonna get me canceled.

[Bobby Moynihan]

Both of us are gonna now get.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

It's PETA and they're pissed.

[Bobby Moynihan]

Maybe cut that out. I took my daughter to see it and the other like a. A week or two ago. And I. I can't. I was. I was broken. Like, I can't believe that she'll have this for the rest of her life to watch. It's.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

It's in a good way or about.

[Bobby Moynihan]

In a great way.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

It's the coolest.

[Bobby Moynihan]

It's the coolest thing in the world.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

Can she recognize that it's you?

[Bobby Moynihan]

The eight year old does. The eight year old gets it now. I gave her like a stuffed animal the other day with my voice in it. And like, she, like, it was the first time she went. Like, it was kind of cool. Like, you know, like, I think she's starting to. To understand. She understands that my job is to do this now.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

Okay.

[Bobby Moynihan]

Yeah, but sometimes she cared. But then, like. Or she'll be watching something in my voice, will be in a. In like a car, a cartoon. Like a commercial for a cartoon. And, like, she'll hear my laugh. She's like, is that you?

[Interviewer (Nora)]

She ever get it wrong. Oh, she does.

[Bobby Moynihan]

Oh, yeah. Sometimes she'll be like, say, you. No, that's not you. Or like, she listens now for it. But, like, she's definitely cognizant. The other day she. She really wants to watch Stranger Things. She's eight. But we. We. You can't.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

Yeah, it's a little. It's a little much.

[Bobby Moynihan]

Yeah. And like little clips or like a trailer here and there. Like, you know what I mean?

[Interviewer (Nora)]

Like, spoon feeding it to her.

[Bobby Moynihan]

She just. She saw Winona Ryder in. In the thing and she went, is that Lydia De? Like, it flew out of her. She's eight. And like, it flew out of her mouth. Like, she realized that Winona Ryder, when she was younger was in Beetlejuice. Like, and I watched it happen.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

And that's crazy.

[Bobby Moynihan]

For it is that Lydia De. Like, it just came to her in that moment and I was like, she's

[Interviewer (Nora)]

kind of a genius for that. I'm not gonna lie. Being able to recognize it was really

[Bobby Moynihan]

cool to see it happen. I also love that she knows her birth given name in Beetlejuice. Yeah, right?

[Interviewer (Nora)]

Not first and last.

[Bobby Moynihan]

Raised a good one.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

She's gonna be running a magazine one day. She's a genius. Up next.

[Bobby Moynihan]

This makes me so happy. That's the silliest picture of him I've ever seen.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

Another.

[Bobby Moynihan]

You put. You put two pictures of, like, people. I. I would put top three people in the world.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

Oh, wow.

[Bobby Moynihan]

Tom. Tom Ao. I would put Danny Pooty on there too.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

Danny foodie.

[Bobby Moynihan]

I think Danny Pooty's just a solid human being. Tom Lennon is one of the greatest human beings in the world. I love him. He makes me really, really happy. We were in Unfrosted Together, a movie about Pop Tarts.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

I loved it.

[Bobby Moynihan]

Thanks.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

I thought it was great.

[Bobby Moynihan]

I spoke Italian in it. Real Italian.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

You also spoke Italian on Impractical Jokers. But that wasn't. But that wasn't real Italian. That was. That was that. What's it called? Long Island Italian kind of style.

[Bobby Moynihan]

I was Italian. I didn't speak fluent Italian. I like, translated from Duolingo. All my lines in unfrosted, like on set.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

Yeah, that's kind of funny.

[Bobby Moynihan]

I type my lines into duolingo and go. And then say it and just like, just say, like, can you say this? And I'll go. Give me five seconds and put it into Duolingo. And then he'd go, action. I'd be like, you like, see my phone down here? Here.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

So, you know, like a. A solid amount of random sentences in Italian.

[Bobby Moynihan]

Not anymore. I don't know a single one. If I tried to think of one. Nope, it's all gone.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

Can you speak any other languages?

[Bobby Moynihan]

I think that means that's okay. Childhood playground.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

It's okay. We're literally.

[Bobby Moynihan]

We're actually all adults here, right? Yeah. It's okay. Thank God. Hundreds of children off camera.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

You can't see.

[Bobby Moynihan]

Hundreds of silent children.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

Yeah. It was actually a daycare. It's wicked hard to record because they're so loud all the time.

[Bobby Moynihan]

Not a smart place.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

Nightmare.

[Bobby Moynihan]

Tom Lennon is my father.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

So can you. Can you speak any other languages?

[Bobby Moynihan]

Can I. Yeah. Speak any other languages?

[Interviewer (Nora)]

Yeah. Because.

[Bobby Moynihan]

Nah. No, not really.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

Yeah. Why would you.

[Bobby Moynihan]

I mean, to get along with others.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

No, no, of course.

[Bobby Moynihan]

I actually.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

I just for the first time left this country and to Italy and I pretended I was mute cuz I was so embarrassed. I didn't want to be stupid American.

[Bobby Moynihan]

So I'd rather be scie a lot.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

Yeah, scie.

[Bobby Moynihan]

And then went Gatorade. I want a Gatorade.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

Do you have pizza? That's not so saucy.

[Bobby Moynihan]

I feel like I spent 28% of my time in Italy looking for Gatorade.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

Yeah, they don't really have that.

[Bobby Moynihan]

No, I don't have anything in Italy. It's all fucking healthy.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

Yeah, it's healthy. They do have those.

[Bobby Moynihan]

Real food and water.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

Yeah. And it. Oh, this. And it's grown on a farm. Whatever. I like when my apples have two apples connected because it was made in a lab. That's how that's welt.

[Bobby Moynihan]

I need to open a bag. That's my lovely wife. Actually, it's not my wife, is it? Was she that character? I don't think she was Lucy.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

No, that's. That's actually Lucy. The slot.

[Bobby Moynihan]

Yeah.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

I wanted to get it right.

[Bobby Moynihan]

I wanted to back off. Yeah. Your wife has a pass. That was the puppet my. My wife puppeteered for the show.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

I think if. If my calculations are correct. Yeah, that's. I think I would hate to get that one wrong.

[Bobby Moynihan]

It's the best. She's so talented.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

I said that's a sexy puppet.

[Bobby Moynihan]

My wife's a better puppeteer than your wife.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

How do you say suck it in Italian again? And Trace Morgan.

[Bobby Moynihan]

Look at that. Look at that little bashful little beaten heart. I love Tracy. Look at him. He really is so. That's why he's so wonderful, is because he's just a little koi boy.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

Yeah.

[Bobby Moynihan]

Yeah. He's the best. I was telling you this story earlier Tracy told a very sweet, kind story about a dinner that we had at his home and how this wonderful conversation we had and I've never once been to his home.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

I. I didn't want it to be true, but I saw where the story was going.

[Bobby Moynihan]

Yeah, yeah.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

Like right from the beginning, I'm like, God damn it.

[Bobby Moynihan]

Yeah, it happens. He go. Every once in a while, he'll go like, you remember that sketch we were in? And I was like, that was Horatio. That wasn't me.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

You didn't, you didn't overlap.

[Bobby Moynihan]

We never. He hosted my first year on the show and I remember being like, pumped because it was like one of the first SNL people that came back.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

Oh.

[Bobby Moynihan]

Like when I was there and I remember the doors opening to Lauren's office and he was standing. This is the first time I'd ever seen him. He's standing in the middle of Lauren's office with his arms up and he just goes, the dark horse has returned. I was just like, I've never seen a human being deliver more on what you expect them to do the first time you see them. Everything from that moment on was just.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

That could be written. That's so funny.

[Bobby Moynihan]

Is. He is a party man.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

Oh, my God. So your first years were. Oh, eight.

[Bobby Moynihan]

2008 to 2017 now.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

Do you ever get sick of talking about SNL?

[Bobby Moynihan]

Nope.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

No. You don't?

[Bobby Moynihan]

I mean, yeah.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

Okay.

[Bobby Moynihan]

I mean, yeah. But also, no.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

Truthfully and honestly, I wasn't sure because I. I've got a lot of.

[Bobby Moynihan]

I love it. I haven't talked about it in a while. I don't mind it. It happens. Seth Meyer said, congrat. When I got it, he said, congratulations, you'll never talk about anything else for the. The rest of your life. And it's completely true. Yeah, it's completely true.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

I always like to preface. Cuz I could totally understand how people just want to nag you about it.

[Bobby Moynihan]

It always gets there. But I would be. I would not be being honest if I would say also, I bring it there a lot. It's a, It's a very easy crutch when you go like, it's not really going well. I could throw in a couple stories. Yeah.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

Throw in the hits.

[Bobby Moynihan]

Yeah. It's a very nice thing to have in your pocket.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

Yeah. But you also have like such a wide range of all the work you've done otherwise too, which I, I hope people realize as well, because.

[Bobby Moynihan]

Are you going to arrest me?

[Interviewer (Nora)]

Yeah.

[Bobby Moynihan]

I mean, staying operation.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

They're just hovering. It's kind of like an OJ thing going on outside.

[Bobby Moynihan]

I didn't mean to cut, cut you off and draw attention to the, the police siren.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

Is that your way of pivoting away from snl?

[Bobby Moynihan]

No, no, no. I don't mind talking about it.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

Okay.

[Bobby Moynihan]

Well, it's, it's fun.

[Bobby Moynihan]

ABC Wednesdays in comedian Nate Brigetzi's new game show. To win, you don't need to know

[Interviewer (Nora)]

the right answer, just what most Americans think is right.

[Bobby Moynihan]

It's not about being the smartest. You just have to be the most average. We asked 100 average Americans, did they keep an empty gas can in their car?

[Interviewer (Nora)]

No.

[Bobby Moynihan]

Have they ever broken a bone?

[Interviewer (Nora)]

No. I said a lot of no. That's all right. My wife says a lot of no as well.

[Bobby Moynihan]

The greatest average American. Wednesdays, 98 Central on ABC and stream next day on Hulu. You know what it's funny is like when I see other SNL people, the first 15 minutes is always pretending like we're not going to talk about it.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

That's so funny.

[Bobby Moynihan]

And then, and then it's like one person doesn't. And then it just like, and then everyone just dives in.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

It's very sweet also to be said, honestly, I feel like a lot of people, like, if they work like a finance job, they go out to happy hour and like the first 15 minutes they're like, so what are you gonna get? And then like I haven't answered Bill yet. And I feel like we have to go.

[Bobby Moynihan]

Yeah, that's it. It's your whole world.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

Yeah. I feel like it's like the same for everybody, but I mean, heightened.

[Bobby Moynihan]

I was talking about it equally as much before I got it that I was after. Yeah, I was, I was, I was, I was very happy. I still am.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

Hell, yeah. I, I mean, I, I gotta ask. So I, while I was doing my research, I saw the James Franco documentary that I've never seen before. And that was your first season?

[Bobby Moynihan]

Yeah, man.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

And they just had a camera in your face kind of going nuts with it.

[Bobby Moynihan]

Yeah, yeah. It stunk. Yeah. It was just like one day they were like, hey, James Franco's gonna film a documentary. And it was just like, what? And then he just kind of hung around Bill a lot.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

He really did.

[Bobby Moynihan]

Yeah, it was super weird. I just remember like, being in my office chain smoking and panicking and just

[Interviewer (Nora)]

being like, I don't really want to

[Bobby Moynihan]

be on camera right now.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

Yeah, you're actually, you're out the window. Like, come on, man.

[Bobby Moynihan]

Yeah, it's. It's not my. It's just. I can't watch it because, like, it's

[Interviewer (Nora)]

just like, there's nothing wrong.

[Bobby Moynihan]

Document my fear. And like. Yeah, but there's like a early read through. It was like my like 8th episode or something like that. Like, it was like early on.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

Yeah.

[Bobby Moynihan]

And it's stressful. It's hard to watch. It's hard to watch. I. I saw it once and when I'm never watching that again.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

Well, it's hard to find, if that makes you feel better. It's incredibly hard to find.

[Bobby Moynihan]

Good, good, good.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

I. But I just couldn't imagine because it's already stressful to have it be your first season and then there's a. Not just a camera guy in your face. James Franco's in your face going, that was it. So what are you doing now?

[Bobby Moynihan]

It was just like.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

And he's like so casual on the couch.

[Bobby Moynihan]

Like, Frank, I was sitting in my chair with a video camera and I'm just smoking. Like. Yes, it was very. That whole job was like that. It was like, one day you don't. You're not on snl and then the next week you're on a mechanical bull at four o' clock in the morning with Tom Hanks.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

It's so crazy. It's so. Do you have. Would you ever share stories of any of the after parties or. No. No. Yeah, that's like a. What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas.

[Bobby Moynihan]

Well, no, there was a lot of. There was a lot of crazy. Yeah, there. I have a million store. We'll get a beer.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

Yeah, all right, perfect. Awesome.

[Bobby Moynihan]

We'll get a beer. I have a million amazing stories, but the people who were involved would not be happy.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

Yeah, no, of course. That would have to be a tell all and just like step away from the industry as a whole.

[Bobby Moynihan]

Well, no, they were, I mean, like. Yeah, no, there were some like that. What am I saying? Yeah, there were. There were some insane ones. I will say that the, the 40th anniversary, when Dave Chappelle hosted the 50th anniversary, like, those three were like, yeah,

[Interviewer (Nora)]

that's out of control.

[Bobby Moynihan]

I mean, the Mind blowing part. Like you're at a. Like when Dave Chappelle like it's just like. Like hey man, Prince is gonna go on. You're just like what, 4:00 clock in the morning we're at a bar and Prince is going on. And then like Prince went up and Dave Chappelle's singing with him and you're like maybe don't. Maybe that printing

[Interviewer (Nora)]

Chappelle Chappelle is known to stay on stage that.

[Bobby Moynihan]

I wish I could put out a book of the. Of just a book called Here are the top 100 people who got on stage at 5 o' clock in the morning with a musician who didn't want them there. I wish I could put that book out there.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

I went to an after party one time and it was at cutting stems and everyone was doing karaoke and it was like anyone could sign up. And so I went to go sign up and I forget who said this to me, but I wrote down what I was gonna sing and they said, you don't wanna do that. And I was like, thank you so much. I will not do that.

[Bobby Moynihan]

Oh, cause the person was there.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

No, just because it wasn't gonna hit. And I was like, you know what? Thank you. That was probably gonna be interesting. It probably would have ruined my life. Honestly. I would still think about it to this day. But I never did it because of that guy Karyo.

[Bobby Moynihan]

I like that guy.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

Yeah, he's a good guy. I didn't like him at the time because I wanted to have a blast.

[Bobby Moynihan]

He's terrible. Actually.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

It was hurt by Johnny Cash, which I usually do to bring down the house and. And but like hype it up to be like, guys, we're gonna have a.

[Bobby Moynihan]

I think he was trying to save you, not his job.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

Yeah, no issues. That's true. It was totally fair though.

[Bobby Moynihan]

Let you. Let you crash and burn with a little cash. Who knows? Maybe it would have been haunting and people would have stood and clapped and you would have gotten. Maybe Johnny Cash would have come back from the dead.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

Have my own fulsome prison.

[Bobby Moynihan]

I'd like to hear it. My go to is Come Sail Away by Cartman.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

Oh, that's good.

[Bobby Moynihan]

The Cartman version.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

So you do Carmen.

[Bobby Moynihan]

No, I know I did that once. I just remember I don't like karaoke. No, no, I'm not a fan.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

I karaoke's. There's a certain kind of person to shine at karaoke.

[Bobby Moynihan]

I think because my wife is a singer and she's so good and like I'm So taken by people who have a beautiful voice that if I see karaoke and someone sings beautifully, I'm like, how dare you? Why are you not. Why isn't someone not paying you for your talent? And then if I see someone who is belting with all their heart and they're terrible, I go like, I wish, I wish you the happiness you're looking for.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

I am going to jump back into SNL because I, I just, I simply have.

[Bobby Moynihan]

Understandable.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

You sketch that never got made that you really wanted to so bad.

[Bobby Moynihan]

How long do you have?

[Interviewer (Nora)]

Forever.

[Bobby Moynihan]

We have. I had 30 a week. There's a bunch. When you said that there was one sketch, I didn't write it. Seth wrote it. It was like when Lost ended, it was like the finale of Lost and people were pissed. Seth wrote this like amazing, like finale of Lost sketch was what Alec Baldwin hosted. And I really wish we did that one, but we didn't. I just have a bunch that Seth wrote that I wanted to do. When Mike Myers came back to host, Seth wrote. It was like right around Inception when Inception had come out. So Seth wrote this cold open that was like a pre tape of Mike Myers and Dana Carvey as Wayne and Garth, like in the Inception van going off a bridge. But Toonces was driving and it was all, it was all like snl, like old snl, like Inception bits like Toon says was driving the car. There were cone. Like it was.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

Oh, that's like so in depth.

[Bobby Moynihan]

It was so like SNL nerdy.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

Yeah.

[Bobby Moynihan]

And I, I was in it in some capacity. I don't even remember what I did. I just remember really wanting to do it and it didn't make it in. But like as far as sketches, I wrote that, that never got in. I wrote a sketch called Party for Burl where I played a 900 pound man named Burl who was having a party because he had finally reached his goal weight of 900 pounds. I had lost 19 pounds and they were like, how'd you lose? And I, I never. Everyone spoke in the sketch when the only. They would be like, we're so happy for you, Burl. And look at you, you're looking great. You lost 19 pounds. Do you feel good, Burl? And I would, I was in a chair like this with just a mound. Like they built this thing and my head just stuck out of it. And I would just go, yeah. And no matter when they talked to me, I just said. And that was it for three minutes.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

Did that go to rehearsal? Yep, it went to rehearsal.

[Bobby Moynihan]

It got it, it got in the show. I've told the story a bunch. It was with Jane Lynch. It got in the show. In nine years on the show, the only time this ever happened. It got in the show. It was the sketch after update. I was never so happy in my life. I couldn't believe it. And an intern walked up and went, I'm so sorry. And took it down and put another sketch. It was the Susie Orman show. And I looked over at Jane lynch and she went, sorry, Susie's a friend. And I went like, I'm never, ever gonna get that on again. Jane Lynch. And I didn't. Yeah. So thanks, Jane.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

Damn.

[Bobby Moynihan]

I'm just kidding. She must hate me because I've told this story and looked directly down the barrel of the camera every time and said, thanks, Jane.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

You know what? It's gotta, it's gotta feel good to get off your chest every time, though,

[Bobby Moynihan]

I've told you this.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

I mean, imagine, Imagine being the Internet. I don't want to do that to you.

[Bobby Moynihan]

He was not happy to have to do it. I had never seen that happen in my 10 years there. I was devastated. Yeah, it's. It stunk. But hey, that's a big old bumper in the long run now it's a great story and it's. I'm a better man for it then.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

They made a movie out of that.

[Bobby Moynihan]

Out of that. It was called Party for Burl. Oh, I thought you meant about me not getting that skill. Yes. I haven't seen that movie. I don't know.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

I don't know. I don't know. I, I, Yeah, it's. It sounds like a real doozy as a. But it does sound like.

[Bobby Moynihan]

I don't know if I really want to see that.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

Sounds like the serious version of good old.

[Bobby Moynihan]

Somebody spoiled the last five seconds for me and I went, I'll never see this movie.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

You ever, you ever walk, walk out of a movie?

[Bobby Moynihan]

Have I ever walked out of a movie? I don't think so. I was at a friend's house, like a cut, like this week, and I, I a little bit went like, I think I'm gonna head out. I'm sleepy. But it was more because, like, it was an old movie where like, a young girl was getting kidnapped and I'm a father now, and I was like, I don't want to watch this is like, yeah, there's nothing about this, A young girl getting kidnapped.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

I want to say, was it, was it taken?

[Bobby Moynihan]

No, it was some old 70s movie. I don't even remember the name. But we get together and watch weird movies and just. Oh, that's comedians just making fun of each other.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

That's awesome.

[Bobby Moynihan]

And so it kind of doesn' what the movie is, I feel like, because

[Interviewer (Nora)]

it's more about the head.

[Bobby Moynihan]

Katie Dippold.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

I. I don't.

[Bobby Moynihan]

She. Comedian. She wrote Ghostbusters. She wrote. She's the best Parks and Reck. She's. She's amazing, but she. She's. She's loves having. She's an amazing host and has people over.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

Best kind of friend.

[Bobby Moynihan]

The best.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

Seriously.

[Bobby Moynihan]

I haven't had anyone at my home besides my children in 50 years.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

And. And Draci's a great host for others.

[Bobby Moynihan]

Tracy Morgan. Yes.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

For other people that aren't you.

[Bobby Moynihan]

He has, like, circus figures. And. Does he live in the city and stuff? I'm sorry?

[Interviewer (Nora)]

Does he live in the city with all these animal troubles?

[Bobby Moynihan]

I think he lives around.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

Yeah.

[Bobby Moynihan]

City somewhere. I forget where. Maybe Jersey. I don't know. Should I give out his address?

[Interviewer (Nora)]

Yeah, I think. I think that would be a good move, honestly. I mean. Yeah. You guys shared such an intimate moment. Might as well.

[Bobby Moynihan]

I know he has a lot of fish. I know he loves sharks. Oh, wow.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

Okay.

[Bobby Moynihan]

One of the biggest shark tanks in America, I believe.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

What?

[Bobby Moynihan]

Or fish tanks in his home. Yeah. Look at that.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

That's out of control, that is. There's no aquariums nearby, honestly, so.

[Bobby Moynihan]

No.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

Maybe you should give it up. His address.

[Bobby Moynihan]

Super, super, super knowledgeable about fish.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

Wow.

[Bobby Moynihan]

Yeah. Very big passion of his. A big heart. I love that dude.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

So how was filming?

[Bobby Moynihan]

Insane. It was absolutely insane.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

I bet it was, like, because you've got two polars going on. Daniel Radcliffe and. And Tracy Morgan.

[Bobby Moynihan]

Yeah.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

And. And Eric. Anyone? I'm sorry. Yes.

[Bobby Moynihan]

The. The best. I had known Daniel a tiny bit. He had hosted snl, so I knew him briefly. You know, it's like you get a week with a star on snl.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

How well do you get to know them, though?

[Bobby Moynihan]

Not that well. I also would say I was not. There is a. There is a skill set at snl, and one of them is dealing with hosts. And I took the skill set of, like, I, maybe I won't. Maybe I'll try and stay far away. And it maybe wasn't the best idea. I was. I was a little. I was a little more like, maybe I don't need to occupy as much time in the host's mind as I need to be.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

But was that a lesson learned? Yes. Yeah.

[Bobby Moynihan]

But Daniel Radcliffe was a different story. He was someone that, when he Came. We got along very well. He hung out in my office a lot. We had a. We had a wonderful time. I was also. It was. I. I had a cool moment with him. It's something that I hold close to my heart. From snl, which was a. I remember sitting there rehearsing a sketch, and Daniel. I'm Hagrid, and Daniel's dressed as Harry Potter. And he was just kind of sitting there, and I was just like, you okay, man? Like, what's going on? He went like. Like, I think this is the last time I'll be dressed as Harry Potter. And I go like, that was a

[Interviewer (Nora)]

great impression of him.

[Bobby Moynihan]

Oh, my God, I can't believe I tried. I. I was like, oh, my God. You're like. It dawned on me. I was like, you're right. Like, this might be the last time you're dressed as Harry Potter. Maybe ever. Whatever. And it was also, like, weird to see him back as. Like, that show gave you these moments where all, like, I'm dressed as Hagrid and I'm standing with Harry Potter and I'm towering over him and he's having a moment and, like.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

And it's.

[Bobby Moynihan]

I'll never forget it.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

Literally, like, yeah, it's going to be all right.

[Bobby Moynihan]

Gave me a lot of amazing moments like that. I've. I have told Daniel that story recently. And he was like, oh, yeah, no, but he's the. He's the best. But, like, he's also. It's shockingly rude how funny he is in this show. Really a little disappointed that. Yeah, I was like, Dad's Daniel Radcliffe, the funniest one in the show. He's hilarious in it. And I had known Erica from living Single, but, like, getting to work with her, man, she is a powerhouse. She is the show. She. She carries that. She carries the whole show. We are very, very, very lucky to have her.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

Everyone needs a female lead.

[Bobby Moynihan]

You're darn right. And. And she is one man. Yeah. I hope my daughters grow up to be like, Erica Alexander. That's.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

That's a great compliment.

[Bobby Moynihan]

Honestly, she's the greatest.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

So I. I just gotta. I'm trying to think, like, there's so many different personalities going on. Do you guys, like, did you hang out when you're on set, like, with each other? Or is it, like, you just go back and you kind of go confined?

[Bobby Moynihan]

I want to be honest. Like, I don't hang out. I'm terrible. I don't want to hang out. I love being alone. I'm terrible. I just talked to Daniel, a couple minutes ago, I talked to Erica the other day. Like, yeah, we, we do. We get along and we speak outside of the show. Yeah, it's crazy. There have. There. I have been on shows where I'm like, that's very good. Yeah, sure, it happens. But no, this one's the best. I told, Did I tell you? I may have told you this before I got a call. I'm standing on the street Sunday night. Yeah, yeah, it was Sunday night to a taste today. I don't even know where I am.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

We're looking at Tuesday.

[Bobby Moynihan]

Is it really Tuesday?

[Interviewer (Nora)]

Tuesday, correct. 100%.

[Bobby Moynihan]

Clubs going up Monday.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

Such, such a Monday thing to say, man.

[Bobby Moynihan]

Standing on the street Sunday night. And my phone rings, I pick it up, it's Tracy. And he goes, bob, yeah. And he's like, show is starting, man. Call me back. And. And it was a very chaotic, quick phone call. And that was it. I will talk to him tomorrow. He just said, call me back.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

It sounded urgent. He'll probably forget, even say, call me back. Call me back.

[Bobby Moynihan]

That's a fun thing. That's the only time he's ever called

[Interviewer (Nora)]

me, by the way. And I, I was going to say it's great.

[Bobby Moynihan]

I just want to say that Tracy Morgan has called me once. It was for 15 seconds to tell me to call him back. That's a great sentence. That's, that's, that's what it's like being on snl. Is that.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

Yeah, just call me back. I'll talk to you next week.

[Bobby Moynihan]

Insane. No, everybody gets along really well. Daniel's the best. Eric is great. Jaylen, Precious. They're. They're wonderful too.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

So it's good. It's. I was gonna say it's great that you had like, you got to work with these people before, but it was really just Daniel.

[Bobby Moynihan]

Tracy had hosted like a. I did that with him. Like, that was brief. Daniel. I had never met Erica. I was a fan of her work. And the other guys. No, I also, like, Jalen and Precious are great. And like, seeing how much work they've done already at their age, like, is crazy. But like being in a van with, with two kids their age, I, I immediately felt like I was like, I used to be like the cool SNL guy. Now I'm the 50 year old dad on set. I'm 40. I'll be 49 in a week.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

Still a blast.

[Bobby Moynihan]

Yeah, it's crazy. I think he's still a blast. I feel very old and I'm feeling a little unwell.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

i have another game. Is that okay?

[Bobby Moynihan]

Okay, cool, cool, cool, cool, cool.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

Let me just. Let me get to the name of the game here now. Oh, I didn't write it down because it's off the top of my dome. So what I wanted to do, since you do a lot of voice acting, I wanted to come up with cartoons that didn't have voices yet. But I don't know illustrators that can go that fast. And that seems like it would cost a lot of money. And I. I'm anti AI, so I like that. My next best option was, what's a character that's not allowed to talk? A mascot. So we're gonna pull from this bowl.

[Bobby Moynihan]

Got you. I thought you. I thought you were gonna say you were gonna draw pictures of cartoons.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

Oh, God.

[Bobby Moynihan]

And I was. I was like, we're doing this right now. Well, we have to do at least one of those. We have to do at least one.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

It's a caricature.

[Bobby Moynihan]

You draw a character, and I will voice it.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

I'm all in. Okay. So I did mascots.

[Bobby Moynihan]

Fantastic.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

And we got a couple of the best ones in here. And let you take it away. I'm gonna give it a whirl to just show how gifted you are.

[Bobby Moynihan]

Am I supposed to show this?

[Interviewer (Nora)]

Oh, yeah. Yes, please.

[Bobby Moynihan]

Oh, it can be. This is not a secret. This says the Pirate Parrot. The Pittsburgh Pirates, Major League Baseball.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

We'll add a picture in post this

[Bobby Moynihan]

has nothing to do with. With the people from Pittsburgh. But I'm just basing this off of what the face of. Like, this is what I would do first. I would go,

[Interviewer (Nora)]

he's walking around, like.

[Bobby Moynihan]

And then I think I would start there. Maybe that.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

That's what it is.

[Bobby Moynihan]

I think that's where I would.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

I think. I think that's excellent.

[Bobby Moynihan]

That's my process.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

Thank you, sir. Yes.

[Bobby Moynihan]

Now, all you children out there who are looking to be, you want to

[Interviewer (Nora)]

go into the art skin, you gotta learn the face. Oh, I don't know how to pronounce this guy's name. Ny Isles. And this is.

[Bobby Moynihan]

Oh, the Islanders.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

It's the Islanders. But his name is, like, Nas.

[Bobby Moynihan]

Niles.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

Niles. Oh, that would make sense.

[Bobby Moynihan]

They're just trying to spell it, like, New York Aisles.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

I see what they're doing there.

[Bobby Moynihan]

He's an Islander. He's got a beard. So maybe, like. Maybe a little, like, New York with a beard. Maybe like, I want some fish. I don't know. He looks like, you want some fish sticks. I'm taking this with.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

No, please. I'm. I'm loving every second of this. This is like a childhood dream come true. Like, truly and honestly, this is really cool for me.

[Bobby Moynihan]

That's what I would do with this guy. Also terrifying.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

I. I don't trust him. I don't even know if I want to have a beer with him.

[Bobby Moynihan]

No, I don't.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

I'm not interested. I'm not sure.

[Bobby Moynihan]

Joshua.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

I'm gonna. I'm gonna give one a whirl.

[Bobby Moynihan]

Okay. Oh, go for it.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

Let's see. Well, that's not fair. I got. I got this one. That's. That's just how I talk. I'm from Boston. I would do a disservice. I'd like to hear your Boston, actually. I was really hoping.

[Bobby Moynihan]

Terrible sense. Everything sounds vaguely Italian. No matter what I do. I would go like, hi, I'm Wally the Green Monster, and try and make him Irish.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

Oh, I like that.

[Bobby Moynihan]

To be a jerk or. I don't know. He's got a wide stance. Hi. I might just go, hi, Wally. I'm ready to party. I think I would just go normal voice for Wally.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

Yeah, well, he's just pretty regular schmegula. Oh, this guy's a nut bag. This is. This is Philly the Fanatic. He's the Phillies mlb.

[Bobby Moynihan]

Isn't it fantastic that I. I knew who you were talking about when you said, this guy's a nut bag. I was like, it's gonna Be Philly for now.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

I'm gonna. I can't. I can't do. I can't. That's, like, the one I can't do. Is that Delco? Delco. I'm. I'm feeling the fanatic. I'm feeling the fanatic.

[Bobby Moynihan]

And we're gonna play some baseball.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

Yeah. I think that's where I go with mine.

[Bobby Moynihan]

Fighting.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

Yeah, He's a little different.

[Bobby Moynihan]

I like it.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

I want to give it. Want to give him maybe a little more or so.

[Bobby Moynihan]

Oh, that one fell Juju. Oh, Mr. Red Legs. That sounds racist. Mr. Red Legs from Cincinnati. He looks like. He talks like he was a Mario Brother, but he's not. He's like, I'm Mr. Red Legs. I don't want to be racist, so I'll be Italian, because Italians, like, they're still allowed to be racist.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

Yeah. No, of course you can make fun of Italians all you want.

[Bobby Moynihan]

Yeah.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

I can't stand it.

[Bobby Moynihan]

All you want as one. Feel free.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

Oh, sorry.

[Bobby Moynihan]

No, it's all right.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

It's just the real. It's just the real ones I can't stand.

[Bobby Moynihan]

I'm half Italian, quarter Irish, quarter Swedish.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

All right. You got some good in you. I'm from Boston. What else to do?

[Bobby Moynihan]

Mr. Red Legs has freshly murdered someone. Yeah.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

And then he was like, do be a mascot, huh? Yeah.

[Bobby Moynihan]

I think he is wrongly Italian.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

Yeah. That's a fake mustache.

[Bobby Moynihan]

That's. He's not. He's appropriating.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

That's. It's Mr. Matt.

[Bobby Moynihan]

Welcome to Cincinnati. Yeah. Oh, my God. My train is here.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

Is that. That's. That's Childish Cambino's here.

[Bobby Moynihan]

I gotta go. Childish Gambino's here to pick me up in his tiny, magical train.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

I don't know why I keep calling him that. That's just kind of. That's kind of like where my mind goes for him, which is.

[Bobby Moynihan]

It is weird to call an old friend by their rapper name. Current rap name.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

Yes. Yeah.

[Bobby Moynihan]

I don't think I've ever called him Childish Gambino in real life.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

Childish Gambino.

[Bobby Moynihan]

But it's very. It's very funny. Yeah, it's very. That's very cr.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

It's a fun name to say. I will say so. Okay, so it's really funny because. Not that I ever trust Wikipedia, but it does say that Amy Poehler gave you a job as a bartender for free classes.

[Bobby Moynihan]

Yeah, I got hired as a bartender at ucb. But I'm guessing in interviews over the years, I have condensed it to Amy gave me a Job.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

Easy, easy.

[Bobby Moynihan]

I don't have to do it. I don't even know anymore. I think. I'm pretty sure she was there and was like, you want to work? And like, we'll give you a. Like. Yes. I. I have no idea if that is if it was Amy who said, like, made me fill out paperwork. Yeah, Amy was around and she was the boss and. Yeah, I don't got you.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

Sorry. I just wanted to circle back, but

[Bobby Moynihan]

she was like, you should take classes here. Like, she was. She saw me do. She was very kind to me and wonderful and let me do ascat early on. And like, I owe her a great deal. A lot of those guys, they're still.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

They're still kicking ass. Catch.

[Bobby Moynihan]

Oh, they're still kicking? Yeah, yeah, all the time.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

Yeah. Very cool. Oh, you do?

[Bobby Moynihan]

Yeah.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

Oh, no, I did. I did it recently and I didn't know what I was doing, so I bombed it.

[Bobby Moynihan]

Oh, no, wait, you did monologues?

[Interviewer (Nora)]

I. Yes.

[Bobby Moynihan]

Oh, that's also. Come do it again.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

I would love to. I. I need a redemption because it was they. I thought we were doing. I thought I was part of the improv group. We're like, one word and they're like,

[Bobby Moynihan]

okay, that's on them. They should have told you that. And they think, I love when the monologists jump in. I love it. Yeah, sometimes monologists jump in and want to do improv and I'm like, let's see what happens. Why not? We're all making up. I don't mind it. I also love when it's bad. There is nothing. Now that I've been doing it for a while, there is nothing more fun than like, I'm gonna try improv for the first time. And I'm like, let's do this. I enjoy it.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

Skip all the classes.

[Bobby Moynihan]

God, who was it?

[Interviewer (Nora)]

Someone.

[Bobby Moynihan]

We did a show recently. Like, the monologist was like Paulie Shore or something like that. He like, tried to jump in and it was chaos. And why not?

[Interviewer (Nora)]

Yeah, I mean, he like, I've been around stand up my whole life, so I mean, I could probably just do improv.

[Bobby Moynihan]

He was saying crazy stuff. He was like, we got to make fun of Hamas out there.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

He gets out of control.

[Bobby Moynihan]

Maybe we just do whatever we want.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

Yeah, I'm gonna. I'm gonna bite my tongue. Cuz one day I would like to go up there. But. Wow. Cool. Wow.

[Bobby Moynihan]

I think I said hummus. Yeah, let's have. I think I changed it to hummus. I'm not even kidding. This is how.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

This is why improv improvisation is so good?

[Bobby Moynihan]

I heard hummus.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

Oh, we're in the Mediterranean. So when you're on a troop, do you get. Is it like a lifetime guarantee?

[Bobby Moynihan]

It's a lifetime guarantee. It's a lifetime membership.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

And it's. And then Nepo in right. Like your daughter's gonna be all set.

[Bobby Moynihan]

It's like a band. I feel like it's like a band. You just go and you do it for. With people you love. And hopefully you do that for years and more. You do it, you get better at it, you learn.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

And do you. Do you go up often?

[Bobby Moynihan]

And I've been doing it a lot more recently. Yeah, I've been doing it a lot more recently. I stopped for a long time and then I. Towards the end of snl, I was exhausted and just like, didn't want to do it anymore. And then after, took a long break and then kind of went back to it. And now I've been doing it pretty regularly, a couple times a month now. I have my own show that I do the show Clean Plate Club, which is. It's the same thing as Ascat, except instead of a monologist, we have Chris Yang on stage. He's a chef and he does a four course meal for the improvisers. And if you, if you buy tickets, there's something called the splash zone. It's the first two front row, front rows. You also get to eat the food with us. Yeah. Oh, that's incredible.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

Also great.

[Bobby Moynihan]

So instead of a monologist, he. He makes a four course meal. He makes one meal and talks about it. We eat and talk about it for a couple minutes and then we do some scenes. Then we go back, we have the second course and, and, and it's a four course meal.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

So did you come up with that show idea? Clean Play?

[Bobby Moynihan]

I had to, yeah.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

Because that's phenomenal.

[Bobby Moynihan]

You just wanted free food.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

Yeah.

[Bobby Moynihan]

No, I did Dinner Time Live on Netflix, which is David Chang show, and Chris Ying is the sous chef on it. And we got along super well. We started talking about doing something together and I was just like, you know, we do these comedy shows. And then it dawned on me. I was like, why don't you come cook? Did you ever cook on stage? And he was like, that sounds like a blast. Because originally I was like, we give you a suggestion. Because, like, what we're hoping to do at some point is a live television show where someone gives him a suggestion too. So it's. So he has a kitchen full of food.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

Oh, sick.

[Bobby Moynihan]

And someone will Go give him, like, three foods. And he will just make a meal. And then. So he will be improvising also, because we're on stage right now, it's a little bit preset by him, but we don't know what he's gonna make.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

Oh, sick.

[Bobby Moynihan]

But if we got it to the point where we want, he would be improvising also. He would just have a kitchen full of food. We just can't do that right now.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

This is an incredible show.

[Bobby Moynihan]

I love it. So thanks. I pretty much just pitched it.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

I love it.

[Bobby Moynihan]

Show and so Netflix, call me, please.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

Yeah, just. Just keep saying it out loud.

[Bobby Moynihan]

Yes, exactly. Also, I want to play the Blob in the Marvel universe.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

That's good. That's excellent.

[Bobby Moynihan]

I want to play the Blob and X Men.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

It's just. It's kind of like your. Your rehash. What was his name?

[Bobby Moynihan]

Oh, Burl. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's pretty much that.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

It's just. It's just. You're chasing a dream.

[Bobby Moynihan]

Yeah, always.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

Oh, I got. I got a lot of cars. I got a lot of questions, but I don't want to keep you here forever.

[Bobby Moynihan]

I got all the time in the world. I kept.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

Favorite ones. I can't.

[Bobby Moynihan]

The least I can do. Please. I have nothing for the rest of the day except you.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

I mean, I Dedicated the one, the first one, to my first daughter. So I have to write a second one and dedicate it to the second one or else I'm in trouble.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

And not only did you dedicate, you had a thank you page, which is the funniest thing, thank you of all time. And I feel like it doesn't get enough love on that. Jimmy didn't even understand. I mean, I was. I was kind of pissed watching that clip.

[Bobby Moynihan]

Thank you. If someone gives you a children's book and you get a dedication page, you. You. I think I used it literally to its full potential.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

Incredible. Not only.

[Bobby Moynihan]

Because there's almost 200 shout outs. Oh, maybe more.

[Bobby Moynihan]

Maybe more.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

Because there were families involved. So I don't know how many people were in the families. It was like Jimmy and family. So that's got to be like Richie and family.

[Bobby Moynihan]

I know. Exactly.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

Yeah. No, yes. And I. I do have some honorable mentions from this thank you list when I get home.

[Bobby Moynihan]

I'll put you guys on there if you want.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

Well, it actually says it at the bottom. If I missed anybody, I'll just.

[Bobby Moynihan]

I have. And I have, I have.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

And so these are just some honorable mentions I wanted. And again, I'm a bad reader, but this is just. I was cracking up, like, copying, pasting these.

[Bobby Moynihan]

I may have worked harder on that than I did the book.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

It's really funny. You should do a whole book of shout outs. So we've got Batman, your plumber, Ricky.

[Bobby Moynihan]

This is real. I've told him about it. He was psychedelic.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

Viola Davis?

[Bobby Moynihan]

Yeah.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

She's no relation.

[Bobby Moynihan]

None.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

Yeah, there's no. There's no Seven Degrees of Bobby, huh? No Seven Degrees of Bobby for that?

[Bobby Moynihan]

I don't think so. But you want to hear the craziest story? And this is. I put that. I am realizing this in this moment. I put Viola Davis in that book. Before this happened, I got a phone call. I can't believe this. I got a phone call from my daughter's school saying, will you come read your children's book to her school? And I said, of course.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

Oh, hell yeah.

[Bobby Moynihan]

And I did. And they were like, someone else is reading today also. And I said, great. And it was Viola Davis.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

No shit. That's crazy.

[Bobby Moynihan]

Isn't that nuts? And I thanked her in the book and I read it in front of her and I didn't even. I don't even remember thanking her in the book. I think I just thought it was funny to thank Viola Davis. But I'm realizing now, I read this book in front of her at my daughter's school and I can show her that I thanked her.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

You got it. You gotta. You gotta text her.

[Bobby Moynihan]

What a weird.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

You gotta reach out. Yeah, just send her the link.

[Bobby Moynihan]

Done.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

That's it. Not even a high.

[Bobby Moynihan]

How are you Higher honors. I feel like she has her own Barbie doll. She deserves the world.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

That's really funny.

[Bobby Moynihan]

Isn't that crazy? That just dawned on me. Yeah.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

A lot of full circles in your life. Honestly, a lot.

[Bobby Moynihan]

A lot of weird, weird mad lib things.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

I love calling something a mad lib.

[Bobby Moynihan]

Yeah. My whole life is a mad lib. But I enjoy. I feel like I've leaned into it and maybe that's why I'm having such a silly time.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

You gotta just have a blast with it. Why not? Why wouldn't you Could.

[Bobby Moynihan]

You mind if I. I do.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

You do.

[Bobby Moynihan]

If you go on, I'll kill you.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

Really?

[Bobby Moynihan]

Yep.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

But was it my mind?

[Bobby Moynihan]

Go on.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

Oh. Still curious of how you would do it.

[Bobby Moynihan]

The train.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

We got Wale. Wale.

[Bobby Moynihan]

And it's spelled like that. Wally, the cue card guy. I've never called him anything. I gotta go. That's when you're gone.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

I'm such a nerd. I just found out that he does commissions.

[Bobby Moynihan]

Yeah.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

And he'll. He'll write you out.

[Bobby Moynihan]

Yeah.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

I'm in the. The process of getting.

[Bobby Moynihan]

Oh, good. Let me talk.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

No, no.

[Bobby Moynihan]

I'll get you real ones from the show. I have a. I gotta. I stole a stack of cue cards like this. I'll give you good ones.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

Oh, my God.

[Bobby Moynihan]

Name a show. I got one for you.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

Any of them?

[Bobby Moynihan]

Yeah. Knows what I stole?

[Interviewer (Nora)]

It's okay.

[Bobby Moynihan]

Everything.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

What are they doing with it?

[Bobby Moynihan]

Months I just backed a van up.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

Did you do any. Any props? Anything funny?

[Bobby Moynihan]

I stole.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

Do you think I get in trouble?

[Bobby Moynihan]

I stole everything.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

It was like. Did you know you were on your way out?

[Bobby Moynihan]

Everything I knew.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

Collecting over the years.

[Bobby Moynihan]

The whole time I was there, I did. I 100 did. The night of the 40th anniversary. I don't drink that much. I got hammered and just walked around stealing. I was like. Wayne and G. Drumsticks. Yeah. Just. I just stole stuff. There was like. There was one day where like, they were cleaning out, like, the accounting office, and in the accounting office was, like, a giant shelf with, like, all the fake, like, oops, I crap my pants. Like, all the fake products from the fake commercials, and they, like, were throwing them out, and I just took them.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

Yeah.

[Bobby Moynihan]

I literally just took them all, put them in my office, and then slowly, one by one, snuck them out in a backpack. I've told the story 100 times.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

Like, just like Santa, he's got a big sack like it's a skid.

[Bobby Moynihan]

Yeah, no, I. I stol. So anything. Anything and everything. I have a problem. I have a collecting problem. I have a. Had a storage unit in New York filled to the brim, and now it's all in my garage. Yeah. Yeah. No, I won't. I won't. I'll be buried with it. Nerd mausoleum.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

What's.

[Bobby Moynihan]

You.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

All right, so what's your prize possession from snl?

[Bobby Moynihan]

Yeah, I mean, it changes. I have an SNL jersey that I got for Christmas from my mom. Like, an SNL baseball jersey. Awesome. Dan Aykroyd's company, like, Roots, made, like, these clothes.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

Oh, no way.

[Bobby Moynihan]

And they made this, like, old, like, canvas SNL jersey. And I carried it with me for 10 years. And I had.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

Pre or post or during.

[Bobby Moynihan]

For the 10 years I was on SNL or the nine years I was on SNL, I carried it with me in a b. In a plastic bag, like, crumpled up in a plastic bag. Like, I just had it with me, me. And I. Whenever I saw someone, I would have them sign it, and then, like, I kept it with me or, like, whatever. So, like, for nine years, it's got, like, 300 signatures, ranging from Paul McCartney down to, you know, every SNL cast member who was on the show when I was there. All the hosts. Yeah.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

Holy.

[Bobby Moynihan]

Like, that. And, like, I have it. You know, I had it framed, and that's in my house. And every day I look at that and I go, like, that's nuts. Because, like, it's just crazy. It just, like, I. I spent a lot of time on that.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

Yeah, nuts.

[Bobby Moynihan]

And, like, I also can't believe I, I, I did it. I don't know why I had the wherewithal to do that when I was there.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

My, my. I had. I had a question for you. If you ever kept a journal, but that's kind of, like, even cooler than a journal.

[Bobby Moynihan]

I never kept a journal. I keep things. I keep everything. I have a ter. I have every, like, movie. I just found a. A bag of MO of, like, 600 movie tickets.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

Movie tickets. Oh, sick.

[Bobby Moynihan]

Every movie ticket from when I was a kid, and I still have them. I just found them a. In, like, a cup, and then I just put them all in a plastic bag. I've. I just don't throw things away. I'm. I'm a hoarder.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

Well, that's cool. Like. Like, movie stubs. Like that. Like, I always wish I did that.

[Bobby Moynihan]

Well, now I have them, and now I want to, like, put them all in a frame. Crazy. Yeah, I found one for the Shallows.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

Shallow?

[Bobby Moynihan]

I thought it was pretty funny. I. I saw the Shallows in theaters. That's that shark movie with Blake Lighty. A lot of Blake Lively talk today. Yeah, I was surprised. I just saw it, and I was like, I guess I saw the Shallows in the theaters. I was surprised.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

I. I couldn't think of what it was. The Shallows is that movie where she's

[Bobby Moynihan]

stuck on, like, a buoy and there's a shark trying to get her.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. We're the only ones talking about Blake Lively now.

[Bobby Moynihan]

Yeah. She was great when she hosted.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

I. I just want to give you the credit for these thank yous, because, again, I really appreciate it.

[Bobby Moynihan]

Thank you so much. The more you want to talk about it, the more I'll listen.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

All the manatees out there.

[Bobby Moynihan]

Yeah.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

Buffoons.

[Bobby Moynihan]

Yeah, that was my sketch. My sketch group.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

Oh, no. Oh. Because I thought it was a joke on Sal Joe Q and Myrrh. Oh, they're right after.

[Bobby Moynihan]

Oh, they're right after. No, they're just. They just happen to be

[Interviewer (Nora)]

anyone who's ever worked at a pizzeria. Uno. That's a good one.

[Bobby Moynihan]

I agree with that.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

Beetlejuice. Yoinks. Was that just. That's just a word, or is that something. You know?

[Bobby Moynihan]

Did I thank Beetlejuice, the character Beetlejuice,

[Interviewer (Nora)]

which is crazy because we just talked about.

[Bobby Moynihan]

Yeah, we did. Yeah, I guess I did. Yoinks was another improv team I was on.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

Oh, no way.

[Bobby Moynihan]

I think it was me, Nick Kroll, and John Reynolds.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

Oh, that's a good. That's a good trio right there. That's fun. What was what breaks up a treat? What breaks? What breaks up a troop pain? Childish Gambino on a train. It's. These are all things that come up once you go Hollywood.

[Bobby Moynihan]

Speaking of Hollywood, what happens to the best of us?

[Interviewer (Nora)]

Helen Mirin. Oh, close personal friend of yours.

[Bobby Moynihan]

Yep. She was flirting with everyone when she hosted us. Now she ended like everyone was down. It was. Yeah, she was great.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

She still got Going on.

[Bobby Moynihan]

And I would. I was. I got very flustered around Helen Mirren. I was like, she. Yep.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

I feel like I would have to do.

[Bobby Moynihan]

Yes, yes. Yeah. I would do anything for Helen.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

Jared Leto in a green coat.

[Bobby Moynihan]

Okay. Do you know this? Oh, my gosh. You're the best. It makes me so happy to see you.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

It doesn't get better than that.

[Bobby Moynihan]

Whenever I'm sad. Whenever I'm sad. But do you know why?

[Interviewer (Nora)]

No. The stances.

[Bobby Moynihan]

You have to re. Google this. There is an even better photo. This is comedy to me. This is what comedy is to me. This is a picture of Jared Leto in this green coat.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

But.

[Bobby Moynihan]

But there is a picture. Please Google this. Do you see it? Do you see what I'm looking at? There is a picture of Jared Leto seeing this coat on a different person during a fashion show. So we see the inception of him seeing this coat and the look on his face. And then cut to the wide, confident stance of a man who got what he wanted. That is comedy. Comedy is the look on Jared Leto's face of like, are you kidding me? That whenever I'm sad, I look at Jared Leto's face in that picture.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

I can't believe I missed that.

[Bobby Moynihan]

It is. Oh, that. That. Whoever figured that out and put that together for me.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

Oh, shit.

[Bobby Moynihan]

I thanked them in a book for it. It's my favorite thing in the world.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

Now, speaking of shout outs, we do a segment on the show where we give you the opportunity. And it's every episode. Not just because you've had a phenomenal play there, but every episode we have, you look right into the camera and give as many shout outs as you want, as fast as you want and for however long you want.

[Bobby Moynihan]

Oh, man.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

Because I think shout outs are important.

[Bobby Moynihan]

I agree. Shout out to my wife.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

Nice.

[Bobby Moynihan]

Because I'm in New York and I. You're working hard, and yesterday the kids had off because of Martin Luther King Day, and you had 90 kids over the house yesterday to play. My wife's a saint. Yeah.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

I couldn't imagine dealing with other people's kids. My kids are my favorite already. But those other ones.

[Bobby Moynihan]

Well, being a parent, dad, then no one tells you it's. It's like other parent. Like, it's like you just feel it's. You're a child again. You're immediately a child back at school having to deal with like. And like, does this parent like everything? It's insane.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

Especially in your area.

[Bobby Moynihan]

Yeah.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

I hate to say it. I feel like it could get Caddy Los Angeles.

[Bobby Moynihan]

Yeah. It's, it's. It's very different. I grew up in Eastchester, New York. Like, everyone was just this.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

Yeah, everyone.

[Bobby Moynihan]

Sorry. Everyone gets along.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

Do that again, I'll knock your block off, Bobby.

[Bobby Moynihan]

Yeah, I will. There you go.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

Swear to God. This next segment and final segment, we'll let you Scott Free off.

[Bobby Moynihan]

I'm. I'm so good.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

Is Scott Free off? Yeah, is. You hear Scott? He got free. He's off.

[Bobby Moynihan]

Hey, Scott Free. Off we went, you right out the door. The butter, the mustard.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

Yeah, It's. It's called disgraceful receipts.

[Bobby Moynihan]

Are you sure?

[Interviewer (Nora)]

Yeah, at this point, I, I think it's graceful. And, and what we do here is we just pull old things and you just kind of explain what's going on. All right.

[Bobby Moynihan]

Okay.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

And. And a one and a two and a one, two, three.

[Bobby Moynihan]

Street. Okay. Yeah. Bobby was constantly asked for photos of other SNL cast members feet. This is why I hate doing interviews. It wasn't constant. I don't know where they got constant from, but I did get people ask on Facebook. Ask. I got someone asking me if I would take some pictures of, of. Of some of my female cast members feet for him. I made. So. No, I'm just kidding. I can't even make that joke. I. I went halfway before I realized how not funny. That one. Yeah, no, that sucks. I hate that that exists.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

Oh, that's. That's real.

[Bobby Moynihan]

I thought that that's a real thing.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

I thought that was the, like the onion or something.

[Bobby Moynihan]

No, no, that was. I said it once in an interview I shouldn't have because that really.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

I wasn't trying to get you with that.

[Bobby Moynihan]

A lot of weird things too.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

If you don't like.

[Bobby Moynihan]

Oh, no, I don't care about that at all. I don't care. I got a. An envelope full of bullets once at snl. Just someone didn't like something I didn't. Got an envelope full of bullet casings once. Yeah, they were.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

Was there a note?

[Bobby Moynihan]

Yeah, there was a drawing of a character that I did, and they were like, I didn't like this. And it was a lot of bullets in it once. And I was standing in the. Near the page desk and I went, should I be worried about this? And took it away and I never saw it again. Again. And yeah, there was a lot of couple weird things like that every once in a while at snl.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

Was that around the time of the anthrax? I don't know when.

[Bobby Moynihan]

No, I wasn't. No.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

Okay.

[Bobby Moynihan]

I wasn't there.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

That'd be A lot of mail coming in.

[Bobby Moynihan]

That's crazy. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We had a couple weird little.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

What, what other kind of things would.

[Bobby Moynihan]

I had a 15 year old kid follow me home from SNL once climbed my fire escape. Jesus. Like there's a lot of doing some weird things. I can't imagine what, like the good, like what the really famous people got on snl, you know, like, I can't imagine, like. Yeah.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

Did you, when it came to like leaving the show, were you the kind of guy who would get right into the car or would you stick around a little bit and give a little autograph kind of thing?

[Bobby Moynihan]

I would, I would have stayed for days. I used to wait on that line. I was, yeah.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

Did you get to go to a show before you were.

[Bobby Moynihan]

I did it once. I got my picture taken with Keenan and I didn't get it and it was like a couple months before I got.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

Oh no.

[Bobby Moynihan]

I told Keaton. He was like, that sucks, man. He's the best.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

I, when I first moved here, I was so bright eyed and bushy tailed that I door dashed. And I would only do it around 30 Rock thinking that I could go deliver it up into the studio and they would hire the door dasher on site.

[Bobby Moynihan]

I definitely, I'm not kidding, I definitely went to 30 Rock with headshots and resumes and just left them in all the bathrooms.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

Yeah.

[Bobby Moynihan]

Before, like 10 years before I got SNL.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

That's awesome.

[Bobby Moynihan]

I thought that was a really smart idea. I was like, I'll just go leave my headshot in the bathrooms everywhere. Someone don't think they left it there

[Interviewer (Nora)]

because our parents put it in our head. It's like, yeah, you just got. All you have to do is just go there.

[Bobby Moynihan]

I think I heard a story about Shia Booth. I think I heard a story that Shia Boof's mom made him call Disney and was like, just say you're your agent. Like that's how he got his first job was like, there's this great kid. You got to check him out. You got like even see, I, I, I don't even know if I'm mangling. I think I heard that and thought like, I'll do that.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

Yeah. It's just, it works for other people.

[Bobby Moynihan]

Hugh Grant did it. I just read like Hugh Grant did that for years where he used a fake voice and pretended to be his own agent because he wanted to make more money. I was like, that's genius. Why aren't I using my acting for smart things instead of wearing a diaper,

[Interviewer (Nora)]

like especially you could do voices. You could be an Italian agent.

[Bobby Moynihan]

They be like, you, Bobby.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

That's. That's hilarious. To get caught in that lie.

[Bobby Moynihan]

We know what you about.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

Like, what are you talk. What you thought. Well, your agent said he was going to come. Trump used.

[Bobby Moynihan]

Oh, God. Trump used to do that.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

Really?

[Bobby Moynihan]

He used to call and say he was a news reporter. They have it online. You could listen to it online, going, he's a very great man. It's him talking about how wonderful.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

Jesus. Oh, yeah. No, I have seen that. That's out of control. We brushed past it earlier. But I do want to mention, because I do think it's. I think they'll really enjoy this story. Is that Drunk Uncle Trump was the host. He did a bit. Drunk Uncle Trump came up and said, that was awesome.

[Bobby Moynihan]

Yeah, it was. Understand I completely mocking him and literally was like, thank you. This is the only one who said nice things and was just like, I. I didn't say nice things, you idiot.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

Clown.

[Bobby Moynihan]

And I said, he's racist, just like me. And he was like, I like that.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

Oh, God.

[Bobby Moynihan]

I said that sentence. And he thanked me for it, like, verbatim.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

That was. That was.

[Bobby Moynihan]

I said, I. Yeah.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

Cute.

[Bobby Moynihan]

I think that was an actual line. I said both, like, White Russians.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

It's always the White Russians, too.

[Bobby Moynihan]

I said a lot about dumb stuff about him, and he was like, I love it.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

We're gonna be best friends. Like, you got it all wrong.

[Bobby Moynihan]

Yeah.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

Speaking of best friends, though. Oh, I don't know if that's your best friend or not.

[Bobby Moynihan]

Yeah. I mean, it's the same person. A lot of people will come up to me and go, carol is my favorite character in the world. I go, thank you very much. And just assume they know I'm not him. Yes. We are twins also. I. We were children in that photo. That was a long time ago. Know. When would you say dill Close marathons, UCB stuff? This probably like 15, 20 years ago. Maybe 10. I'm not good at math. Oh, are you kidding me? Look how happy I am. I was. I. I was so probably so excited to meet Rachel.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

I'm reading her book right now.

[Bobby Moynihan]

Oh, the best.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

I am pretty much an snl.

[Bobby Moynihan]

Wait, she has a book?

[Interviewer (Nora)]

Yeah, I just found out, so I grabbed it.

[Bobby Moynihan]

Oh, I'm going to get that.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

Yeah, yeah. It's called Girl Walks into a Bar.

[Bobby Moynihan]

Oh, nice. She's a legend.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

She's a. She's a Boston gal, too. Legend.

[Bobby Moynihan]

Jack and prayer, sweetheart.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

Yeah.

[Bobby Moynihan]

Always been very good to me.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

Did he. Did he work on snl?

[Bobby Moynihan]

No, but I think people get it confused because he was like the 30 Rock.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

He was Dirty Rock page. Yeah.

[Bobby Moynihan]

He hosted. He had to have. Right. He's been on it a bunch.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

Yeah.

[Bobby Moynihan]

I think I was in a. What up with that? With him or something.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

Oh, she ever reach out?

[Bobby Moynihan]

She didn't reach out. I did the MTV New Year's special with her dressed as her.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

That's awesome. We.

[Bobby Moynihan]

We spent a day. We spent a day together running through Times Square. It was nine o' clock in the morning. She was like, you want to do shots? And she was a party, man.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

She wasn't around. She was really doing it.

[Bobby Moynihan]

She. Snooki plays the game, man. And now she's got more money than all of us.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

That's right. Laughing to the bank.

[Bobby Moynihan]

Yeah, man.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

She's a mama.

[Bobby Moynihan]

Good for you. Hi, Snooki. If you're out there. That was a wonderful day. She made a video for my kid, my sister's kids. She was great. She was very funny. She called him a little guido. He was an infant.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

You little guido.

[Bobby Moynihan]

She goes, you little guido. I was like, you can't even understand. He don't know who you are.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

I have no idea what you think.

[Bobby Moynihan]

You're an orange monster.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

He's speaking Italian also.

[Bobby Moynihan]

That was three or four years. Was just my. My bathtub at home was bright orange because I would just play Snooki every other week.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

That's really funny. Yeah.

[Bobby Moynihan]

Or like, it would be Tuesday, and it would be Tuesday and we would have off and I would still have orange in my ears here. Or like, my knuckles would be orange from playing Snooki four days ago.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

Oh, my God.

[Bobby Moynihan]

That's nuts. That picture is incredible. Effing crazy.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

That's gangster.

[Bobby Moynihan]

That was one of the craziest nights of my life. And probably. Well, Jeremy Renner's had a tough time recently. Maybe not, but, like, he. I'm glad he's okay.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

Yeah. Thank God.

[Bobby Moynihan]

That night was, like, one of the first and only times at SNL where I was up for 48 hours. We shot that all night on Saturday and then it aired on Saturday. Like, I got home at like, 6:00am in the morning. Morning. That's at like 5:00 clock in the morning on the rink. Like, we shot that. We shot that whole thing overnight. And then Jeremy Renner got up and did the show the next day. We were delirious. That was crazy. That was like when. This weird period where we were like. It was like the. I was there when, like, YouTube came out the fourth my fourth episode was when they went to HD and I remember the makeup people freaking out because they were like, you can see the bald caps. Like, and they were freaking out because it was like, it changed SNL.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

Yeah.

[Bobby Moynihan]

And then YouTube changed it. All of a sudden we were doing pre tapes. It was like, oh, yeah. We would be in the studio Thursday and Friday and then it was like we were doing two day movie shoots and then going and doing the show. Yeah, that was crazy. That was like a full movie shoot and then directly into a 13 hour day of a show. And I. I remember being delirious. I think I slept for like three days after that. That.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

What do you.

[Bobby Moynihan]

That's also one of my favorite things I ever got on the show. Me and Taryn wrote that together and it was.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

Oh, a blast.

[Bobby Moynihan]

Yeah. And Jeremy Brenner was really, really cool about it.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

He. He was a cool guy.

[Bobby Moynihan]

Yeah. Matt Nas directed it. That was a really special one. Thank you for showing that to me. It made me feel really nice.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

What time. What's. What time do you have to clock in after shooting this?

[Bobby Moynihan]

I think like, we got home at like 8am and like I. And then like it was back at noon. And then like. And then noon was like. And then. Yeah.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

And like half. Half of that is. Is an hour of commuting on the subway.

[Bobby Moynihan]

Yeah. No, no. There were multiple. I mean, so many times I was up for days. Days straight. Two days, three days. It was like I would get two hours sleep and then go two days and get four hours sleep and go three. Yeah, it was. Wow. Insane.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

This is more fun on the ice. He could have used.

[Bobby Moynihan]

Yeah, that's another real thing that happened.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

Thank you, Nora.

[Bobby Moynihan]

Insane. Yeah, we were. We got to like. We got to skate on the ice for Christmas and Justin got on a thing and said, pull me. And I said, I guess I'm pulling Justin Timberlake on a sled on the Times Square ice rink. We also have the same birthday. No way out that day.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

Oh, it's this one.

[Bobby Moynihan]

That's another thing. That was just. I think it was just like we were shooting some digital short and we were just in this giant warehouse and I was like, I guess I sit in the middle and take. If you got to take. You should take a picture here. Right? Well, I just took a picture in a giant warehouse because it was there.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

Oh, little does he know you're. You're going to play him. What a. That's a hilarious picture.

[Bobby Moynihan]

Yeah, yeah.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

There's a lot going on, you know

[Bobby Moynihan]

what's Crazy is I have another picture with him dressed as something else. Because I just. I kept seeing him. He was. I played him on the show.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

Yeah.

[Bobby Moynihan]

He, like, really liked me. He wrote a letter to my parents. He was very kind.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

He wasn't all that bad at the time.

[Bobby Moynihan]

At the time.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

At the time.

[Bobby Moynihan]

Well, maybe he was better. I don't even know anymore that. That is how I felt at the time.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

Yeah.

[Bobby Moynihan]

I felt like the Hulk.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

I don't know.

[Bobby Moynihan]

I was more psyched about being in the Hulk costume than anything else.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

Whoever's around, get in this picture.

[Bobby Moynihan]

Well, that was it. That's what I would do at SNL was like, I would go, what do I want to wear this week? Would go like, I want to be the Hulk. And then I would write around that.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

Oh, that's a great way to go about it.

[Bobby Moynihan]

Yeah. I had never had good ideas, so I would be like, I want to be the Hulk this week.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

Stems from that.

[Bobby Moynihan]

Well, that's what I would do. I would go like, I got really good with Lou the makeup guy, and I was like, make me Buzz Lightyear this week. Like, that's what I would. And he would be like, write something. So that's what I wrote. I. There's like. I was like, that Jim Carrey family reunion sketch I wrote just because I wanted to look like the Mask.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

The Master. The Master's a cool guy to play.

[Bobby Moynihan]

It was not. It was hard and green. Yeah. Also, never play the Mask in front of Jim Carrey because it won't be as good. And you don't realize that and how good he is as the Mask until you're standing next to him dressed as the Mask, and you're not as talented as Jim Carrey. I went like, what did I do?

[Interviewer (Nora)]

I almost feel like he's the kind of guy and you. Maybe you can't. I can't speak on this, but I feel like you might be the kind of guy to get mad if you don't do it right.

[Bobby Moynihan]

I agree. He wasn't, though. He was cool.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

Okay.

[Bobby Moynihan]

Cool. He was. He's an interesting dude, man.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

Yeah. I didn't know that until, like, the past couple years.

[Bobby Moynihan]

Yeah. Easily one of the most. Not shocking, the most surprised. I was easily.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

I.

[Bobby Moynihan]

Like, even when he came in the room, I was like, man, that's Jim Carrey. Like, I grew up with him. Like, I had been on the show for a while, and you get kind of desensitized. You're like, I G. Paltrow.

[Commercial Narrator 2]

You get.

[Bobby Moynihan]

You get, like, weird about it. You're like Paul Simon. I can't talk right now. I'm trying to come up with something.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

You chatty caddy.

[Bobby Moynihan]

You do. You get, like, weird. But, like, Jim Carrey was like, that was a crazy one. I remember being, like, affected by that that whole week. Like, it was. It was nuts to have him around. You just go like, he's on a different level. Jay Pharoh had a pitch and it was like a weird pitch. And he stood up and he went swing and a miss. Like, and he started. He just, like, became Jim Harry. Like, he just kind of became Jim Carrey and went like, really big. And Jay was like, thanks, man. Like, but. But, like, it was so cool to see Jim Carrey, but it was also like, that was kind of mean Jim. Like, but it was very. Like, we had to go to the host dinner and the waiter came over and started putting pepper, like, on his. On his. His dish, and it's Jim Carrey and he goes. And, like, started doing like a Jim Carrey bit and went like. And like.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

Like,

[Bobby Moynihan]

it was so, like, he's. He can't not be entertaining. It was really fascinating to watch.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

There's. Yeah. Because there's some people who can't put like. Like shut it off or who they are.

[Bobby Moynihan]

But I think he could. Like, I think he knew he could. He's just like a man. His performance felt like. Felt like he was. He's only comfortable if he is performing at a high peak level. And I was down with it.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

Anybody else blow your mind?

[Bobby Moynihan]

I remember Bruno Mars. I remember being like, it's Bruno, Mario, whatever, you know, like, that's fun.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

Yeah.

[Bobby Moynihan]

But then, like, he's just a party man. Like, he treats his family. His whole family's in his band. And you just go, like, this guy figured out a good way to live. I want to live. Like, Bruno Mars just.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

I've heard he's nothing but, like, I

[Bobby Moynihan]

feel like just always doing this and his family's around and he's just psyched and feeling good. Freshly out of a shower. I don't know. I feel like Bruno Mars just had figured out life.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

I feel like, except for the gambling.

[Bobby Moynihan]

Oh, yeah. Never mind. I was wrong.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

It's like a. It's like a. Like a comical number I seem to have lost.

[Bobby Moynihan]

It has been established. I don't know what day it is. Don't listen to me for anything.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

Neither did he. In the casino.

[Bobby Moynihan]

I am a boy walking around in a dream. Oh, I love that one. Oh, that's funny. I can tell that's dress and not air because I have a different wig and different glasses.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

Oh, funny.

[Bobby Moynihan]

Yeah. I wanted to look like Keith Urban. That was crazy. I really pulled for that one. It's a crazy sketch. That little kitty cat sketch.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

Is it good? Goodie.

[Bobby Moynihan]

Thanks. It's weird. It's a real weird. I love being a weirdo. And that cat was real and adorable.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

Cracks me up.

[Bobby Moynihan]

I look like my mom.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

The picture of it. And we got just an old tweet, Nothing crazy. Okay, fun fact. Kyle Mooney makes a mean artichoke dip.

[Bobby Moynihan]

100 true. I, I, if you go back, I don't tweet, I don't post a lot of things. That artichoke dip affected me to the point where I'm thinking about it now. He did. I hate that Kyle Mooney makes a really good, like. Of course he does. He's great at, like, everything.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

I, I saw you on. On their podcast. It's the podcast where they're figuring out if it's a podcast or what's going on. And it was. It was cracking me up.

[Bobby Moynihan]

It is insane to me. I wore a cowboy hat. I wore, like, an insane outfit trying to be funny, and all I got was compliments. And I just was fucking with Benning, and everyone contacted me. Were you really mad at Beck and Kyle? I got a lot of like, were you really mad at Beck and Kyle after that? And I was like, no, no.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

Oh, that's so funny. I also, I really liked your work on Very Important People People.

[Bobby Moynihan]

Thank you. That was the show in the world, man.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

Incredible.

[Bobby Moynihan]

That show is great, man. I asked dude to do it. I was just like, this is. That's great.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

I'm sure they were stoked to have

[Bobby Moynihan]

you, and it's such a blast. It's such a smart, fun improv show. We need more of that kind of stuff.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

Great concept. I actually, I just recently paid to watch all of them. Oh, I like it so much.

[Bobby Moynihan]

It's so great. Everyone on it is great, too. Angelo, everyone. Everyone's fantastic.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

Well, you're fantastic.

[Bobby Moynihan]

Thank you.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

I hate to even end this, because I know I'm gonna go home, and I'm like, I wish I asked him that.

[Bobby Moynihan]

But you can call me.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

I need. I need to release you, Bobby. Thank you so much. I really appreciate it.

[Bobby Moynihan]

It's such a pleasure.

[Interviewer (Nora)]

Thank you for having me. If I. You don't need this, but some people just give, like, where to find you, all that jazz, if you care about any of that. And, and the, and look out for the fall and rise.

[Bobby Moynihan]

The fall and rise of Reggie Ding Jenkins. Reggie Jenkins, NB of NBC and the Peacock stations.
