SNL 50th Anniversary: Reflections and Revelations

The conversation kicks off with Dana and David reminiscing about their initial foray into performing together at Fantasy Springs in Palm Springs. Dana shares his apprehensions about following a more physically fit performer, stating, “I’m terrified of following a guy. You’re like a marine. You are fit and people understand that we need reps as stand-ups” (03:20). David counters with his own experiences, highlighting the challenges of corporate gigs and the unpredictability of performances.

As the discussion steers towards the "SNL" 50th anniversary, Sarah Sherman becomes the focal point, sharing her firsthand experiences during the celebrations. She reflects on the emotional weight of the milestone, saying, “I saw Lauren after and he looked so stoked. I think he was like, ‘oh, yeah. I think the show was great.’” (27:14). This sentiment is echoed by Dana, who appreciates the camaraderie and dedication within the "SNL" team: “Every single cast member had such a sweet, sincere, all of you. Every single one of you” (31:20).

Behind-the-Scenes Anecdotes and Laughs

The trio dives into humorous anecdotes from the "SNL" 50th celebrations. David recounts his encounter with iconic figures like Paul McCartney and the chaos of navigating large venues: “You see him kill my neck, and then every time he starts telling a story… I just want to hear this guy say literally anything” (23:14). Sarah adds to the laughter with her story of attempting to interact with McCartney, culminating in a playful sketch idea involving a frustrated "Mr. Sketch Man" pleading for more jokes: “Please, Mr. Sketch Man. Write me a sketch” (47:08).

Dana and David also touch upon the intense environment of live television, discussing the pressure and spontaneity required to keep performances fresh: “The show's impossible, and it's emotionally violent, and it's ridiculous, but that's why it's so compelling” (42:35). Sarah emphasizes the stark difference between traditional critiques and the immediate feedback of live performances: “So much of comedy right now is, like, on the phone. And I'm like, y'all don't know what it's like to really put yourself out there and fail in a big way” (43:05).

Guest Experiences and Personal Insights

Sarah Sherman shares her journey as a newer member of the "SNL" cast, highlighting the challenges of adapting to the fast-paced environment: “The table read is the scariest part for me because I feel like you're auditing in front of all of you” (36:10). Dana offers words of encouragement, praising Sarah’s composure and humor: “You seem very composed and funny out there and I think, I think you're popping” (35:42).

The discussion shifts to the dynamics of rehearsals and live performances, with Sarah detailing the anxiety of table reads and the joy of seeing subtle facial expressions during performances: “I got to see her up close, do a lot of really small, subtle, like, facial expressions and stuff that were really, really, really making me laugh” (38:16). David adds to the camaraderie by sharing his own experiences with forgotten lines and the chaos of live shows: “They're gonna push this in. Nathan Lane runs out. You got it” (44:35).

Concluding Remarks and Looking Forward

As the episode winds down, Dana and David reflect on the mutual respect and friendships forged through their time on "SNL." Dana expresses his gratitude for being part of the show's legacy: “Every single cast member had such a sweet, sincere, all of you” (31:20). Sarah looks forward to future collaborations and festivities, mentioning her desire to attend future milestones: “The only way for me to make up with missing the 50th is to be there on the 60th” (52:26).

The hosts wrap up with light-hearted banter about upcoming events and shared interests, leaving listeners with a sense of community and anticipation for what’s next for "SNL" and its beloved cast members.

No, but that. You. I. My thing is more. David. Do you understand?

[David Spade]

Oh, gross. That's why I don't listen. Listen to. I can't hear it. I can't hear myself.

[Dana Carvey]

No, we're. We're working hard. We're dancing for our donuts, man.

[David Spade]

Oh, we were going to tell everyone. Our first big gig together. Fantasy Springs in Palm Springs, right?

[Dana Carvey]

Yes, Fantasy Springs and Palm Springs near the Spring Fresh restaurant. The exit is called Springtown.

[David Spade]

I wash my pits with Irish Spring. Then we go right on stage and we have to check LPMs. You know, Heather's going to check our laughs per minute just to see how we do because it's a. It's really going to be a wing ding. But I don't know if you're legally allowed to bring your guitar out and kill that hard. I might have to.

[Dana Carvey]

I don't know. I'm not doing as much stand up as you. I'm terrified of following a guy. You're like a marine. You are fit and people understand that we need reps as stand ups reps. Now maybe I have the ability to just come out with a few notes and rip, but David is in really good shape.

[David Spade]

No, I did a corporate this weekend. I did in Vegas, the builders convention. It was actually pretty fun. I didn't know how big it was. It was 8 in the morning. Dana, let me tell you something. I've heard about 8am and I've read about it, but I haven't read good things.

[Dana Carvey]

My corporate breakfast, I think we talked about off the air always go pretty well. Go ahead.

[David Spade]

It was more nerve wracking because I woke up and then the room circus didn't give me my breakfast. It was a very nice hotel. I'm not really blaming them. It just gets chaotic. They go, oh, Mr. Spade, we'll do anything you want. What's your breakfast? Oh, make your eggs fluffy. Never came. They never picked up again. So I'm going there like eating it. Filthy half.

[Dana Carvey]

What do you.

[Sarah Sherman]

What, what.

[Dana Carvey]

What's at the buffet? Do they have a table of water?

[David Spade]

I don't go to the buffet.

[Dana Carvey]

Dana, don't you have little snacks backstage waiting for you?

[David Spade]

Oh, in my green room at the thing.

[Dana Carvey]

Yeah.

[David Spade]

Yeah. There's a croissant.

[Dana Carvey]

Okay.

[David Spade]

Sort of on a warmer with ham and stuff that you probably didn't eat when you did the same gig about four years ago.

[Dana Carvey]

They said I try to eat ahead of time. And then I've never. I didn't. I've never seen my writer. They come at me sometimes really nervous and say, Mr. Car. Mr. Carvey, I'm so sorry. We only have three towels. I said three times. It's in your writer that you need three towels.

[David Spade]

And it's in all caps.

[Dana Carvey]

Yeah. And sometimes I play with them. Can you find a fourth. Could you chase down a fourth?

[David Spade]

It says in the writer, Mr. Carvey drenches profusely in sweat.

[Dana Carvey]

Well, they're all incredibly sweet people, by the way, when you meet there and they really want to do a good job. But it's like, we're about to go on. Would you like your Coca Cola on the stool or on the floor next to the stool, you know?

[David Spade]

Yeah, I know. They. They literally, like, because it's so easy. It's not a band. So like. Yeah, we've got your water.

[Dana Carvey]

Yeah.

[David Spade]

And your microphone. And I'm like, right, like. So are you good?

[Dana Carvey]

I'm like, before you. It's like, okay, we're gonna move the podium. The podium is going to move out. We're going to move your car down. Your guitar. They're gonna down center.

[David Spade]

This guy is going to do a quick five min. Employees that have passed away since the history of this company. And then you're up and I'm like.

[Dana Carvey]

Hey, man, I've really had that. Would you like to go out with the mic holding or go. I've had one. A place that was so freaking big.

[David Spade]

Yeah.

[Dana Carvey]

The stage was so huge. We were talking 10,000. They introduced me smattering. By the time I get to the mic, it's dead silence. What's up? Why are you Jim Grand. These are fun, though. It's fun. Tickets are going fast. They always say that.

[David Spade]

Oh, yeah. To Fantasy Springs. It'll be fun to see us then. We might do a little Q A at the end. Just.

[Dana Carvey]

Oh, we'll definitely do stand up and then we'll come out together and do Q A.

[David Spade]

Get some Q's and A's out of the way. There's so many really try to take hot takes. Hot takes. I didn't even get to the part about Diddy's lawyer quitting. Diddy's lawyer quit. Dan, I don't know if you've been keeping up with this.

[Dana Carvey]

Did he. Did his lawyer take a shower, get. Get all fluffed and folded and then call someone to quit or did he quit and then take a shower just to get the.

[David Spade]

Why did he do a press release?

[Dana Carvey]

I don't know.

[David Spade]

Did he do a press conference? I just think it's odd that he's quitting because he also handled Osama bin Laden. So he's had some rough personalities. Let's say there was Hitler.

[Dana Carvey]

It's supposedly Hitler's great grandson. He represented till of the Hun. Was a. Was a great, great, great grandfather. He represented he some Rascals. He represented Real Rascals, represented Epstein P. Diddy, the Unabomber, Ted Bundy. He represented. This guy's a beaut.

[David Spade]

He's a real. That whispered the Son of Sam to kill people. He handled the dog for a while.

[Dana Carvey]

Anyway, I wish him all the best. We have a due process in America, so.

[David Spade]

Why do I feel like Sarah Sherman will not be able to figure out how this. She's running late, which is so funny. She goes, I. I'm five away. I'm on the train. I'm like, you're on the train to Rockefeller center, and you think you're five away?

[Dana Carvey]

Sarah is a fashion plate and really is a creative dresser, which I love. She comes in in circus outfits every day when I was out there in the fall and made me laugh every time. Striping pants, big clown shoes. So she can't just throw on some.

[David Spade]

What is she doing that bozo routine on the train and everyone'.

[Dana Carvey]

She'S juggling. Where is she not taking a train to a podcast studio, hopefully.

[David Spade]

God. Greg, can you hit her up? Yeah. She goes, I'm gonna do it from work now. I go, well, no, she's in every sketch.

[Dana Carvey]

You mean Rockefeller center on the 17th floor? I'm going to work. Where? Rockefeller center at the 17th floor. That's cool.

[David Spade]

Okay. We covered Puff Daddy. We covered.

[Dana Carvey]

Oh, you had something planned. Did I step all over you?

[David Spade]

No, I just wanted to give a story that his lawyer quit. And I was like, it must be. Either he heard something that was a little too rough and just said, oh, I got to tap out, because why does a lawyer quit? You already know. He's a. He's a rascal. When you get in there, I. I.

[Dana Carvey]

Don'T know what's going on, but I was. There was a video on Daily Mail of the lawyer offloading hundreds and hundreds of bottles of baby oil into the back of his Lincoln Town Car.

[David Spade]

Is he gonna sell them on Amazon? I just told her to jump on. Of course, she can't follow that at all. We have to keep all this. This is how hard it is to have a guest. She's like, can you move it earlier for me? So I said, of course. And then she goes, I'll be late. Didn't we move it earlier? But honestly, I don't care. I don't care at all. I don't care at all. I don't even bring it up. I don't say anything.

[Dana Carvey]

I know. Well, we'll. She's. She's a friend of the podcast. Because this Friend of the show. That's Lauren. Lauren used to be a yodeler in Bavaria when he was going to college.

[David Spade]

He goes show cola.

[Dana Carvey]

Remember when we did Ricola? Was that Rob Schneider sketch Recola? Were you in that?

[David Spade]

No. Did you do a recall?

[Dana Carvey]

It was some kind of comedy thing. We had Big horn. I can't remember. Funny look, the angle of it. I think you were in that one.

[David Spade]

Funny look is half the. Well, we, we talked about Fantasy Springs. You can. That shows in March. We can talk about. I was going to ask her. No, I have stuff for her. I have stuff to ask her some hard hitting questions. Well, let's do a few headlines and then we'll jump and do her. Oh, is Greg even available to do this? Because he's dealing with Sarah doesn't know.

[Dana Carvey]

What clown suit to put on.

[David Spade]

I will tell you this new James Bond thing.

[Dana Carvey]

Who Amazon cast as James Bond for our list.

[David Spade]

So the trick is James Bond, they keep, you know, every. They've got this great thing where everyone wonders who will be James Bond and then it's like 10 years in between. Everyone just wonders. Wonders. Every guy that's got a heat on him. Is he the new James Bond? So it helps the brand. I guess Amazon finally just bought him out totally and said enough. But my worry, I love Amazon. I will be on Amazon this year.

[Dana Carvey]

Amazon is great.

[David Spade]

The James Bond world. It's like when Disney bought Star Wars. Now there's 80 different Star Wars. So now it's like Baby Yoda, James Bond. There will be a prequel. There'll be a young Bond. They'll be young James Bond.

[Dana Carvey]

There it is right there. Boom.

[David Spade]

Right there. Done. And I could play it. I don't have to. I could play it. I'm.

[Dana Carvey]

They, they went after George Lucas who invented Star wars and they dangled 4 billion and next you know there's like 29 of them. So now Amazon probably bought this for a couple billion.

[David Spade]

So I think it's a billion even. But you know what? You give me a billion, you can have Joe Dirt, the high school years you can have.

[Dana Carvey]

Yeah.

[David Spade]

Dickie Roberts, present day.

[Dana Carvey]

They could have church. Young church lady. The church girl. They can have.

[David Spade]

They could have church man. After what happened.

[Dana Carvey]

Church man. Church woman becomes a man. Good night. Yeah.

[David Spade]

Where is she? But anyway, James Bond, forget her. Also in the same vein, forget her has made me sad. RIP Gene Hackman, the guy's a stud and oddly passed away in an odd fashion. Yeah. But I will say just focusing on the fact that one of my all time Favorites. I don't know if that's shocking or not, but he always had a lightness to his performance, even drama. He'd laugh a little bit. He'd always be juggling peanuts and laughing. I started with the Poseidon venture with that guy and then. Oh yeah, wrote it all the way out.

[Dana Carvey]

There's got to be a morning after.

[David Spade]

Oh, no. We've got breaking news. Breaking news.

[Sarah Sherman]

Know, my big theory is that I'm afraid there's like a chemical in here that I'm inhaling and it's like going.

[David Spade]

To kill me for sure.

[Dana Carvey]

Well, when you walked into that. This is your office on 8H or your dressing room at 8H.

[Sarah Sherman]

This is my dressing room.

[David Spade]

Yeah.

[Dana Carvey]

It's. Is all that you. And it was just plain yes. Okay.

[Sarah Sherman]

Yes.

[Dana Carvey]

But you all do that. You all do that. You. You young people.

[Sarah Sherman]

Did you guys not.

[Dana Carvey]

Nothing in there.

[David Spade]

Nothing on my wall.

[Sarah Sherman]

Were you just, like, always worried you were going to get fired? So you're like, I don't think it.

[Dana Carvey]

Was dedicated to us. Seemed like other people used it or something. But James Austin Johnson's is incredible.

[David Spade]

Heidi's. I stay in Heidi's for the 50th. It was. It was more than Sarah's, shockingly.

[Sarah Sherman]

I know. Mine's, like, claustrophobic. Well, I got a small ass room.

[David Spade]

You know, Heidi's got a big one, actually. You know, she's.

[Dana Carvey]

She's sort of tiny. And we'll put her in the tiny.

[David Spade]

Microscopic. You know, Lawrence never said to me, david, I would like you to judge up your dressing room. It's depressing.

[Sarah Sherman]

Oh, you could judge up your little area. You've got, like, nothing on the walls there.

[David Spade]

Jeez.

[Dana Carvey]

We have nothing.

[David Spade]

I look at Dana's house. It's stark. It's like a killing going on.

[Dana Carvey]

I know.

[Sarah Sherman]

I'm not a consumer.

[Dana Carvey]

The economy would go to hell in a handbasket if everyone was me. I stole this from a shoot. $5 old. If I don't wear these. You're all blurry.

[David Spade]

Jesus.

[Dana Carvey]

I want to ask some serious questions, so.

[David Spade]

I do, too.

[Sarah Sherman]

We missed you.

[Dana Carvey]

I know. Well, a lot of people got that flu and it lingered.

[Sarah Sherman]

Yeah. And then, by the way, everyone got Covid.

[Dana Carvey]

Is that real or is that for PR effect?

[Sarah Sherman]

They got it. All right.

[David Spade]

Did Rudolph get the poo flu?

[Sarah Sherman]

Oh, was it the poop one?

[David Spade]

I don't know.

[Dana Carvey]

No, it's fatigue and coughing and achy and so.

[David Spade]

Oh, wait. I flew back with Maya. Look at me.

[Sarah Sherman]

Strong private jets bid.

[David Spade]

No, we were south west through Houston. Yeah, No, I jumped on with Andy Samberg and Kristen. It was so fun. Dude, just picture. Just laughing the whole time. It's so fun.

[Sarah Sherman]

Skateboards behind you.

[David Spade]

Because I'm cool and.

[Dana Carvey]

Well, someone pointed out you're looking at Bruce Lee's nipple the entire.

[David Spade]

Why, folks, I gotta lower that look. It says spade on the side, though.

[Dana Carvey]

Is that supposedly a picture of you? Because we don't see Bruce Lee's head.

[David Spade]

No, I got that as a gift from somebody, you know, and I said, I'll. And I put it up because everyone.

[Dana Carvey]

Gives me anybody except Sarah.

[Sarah Sherman]

Wait.

[Dana Carvey]

Whoa.

[Sarah Sherman]

Spade got a crazy new haircut. Kind of.

[David Spade]

Oh, you see My mullet. Look at this.

[Sarah Sherman]

That's cool.

[David Spade]

The movie starting again. It's for the movie. And then we had to. We. I had to wear the wig over, so I had to get this rid of the sides. And then the back I had to pin up because it's getting too long. You like that back, Sarah?

[Sarah Sherman]

3,000.

[David Spade]

3,000 me. Bobby Bop. Sarah, I have a legit question. What?

[Dana Carvey]

And I have a question because I'm. I'm having a sense memory, kind of a buzz right now because this is my Matt Gates and this is my Hunter Biden, and I got a dress on, and you guys are kicking ass.

[Sarah Sherman]

I legit feel like I beefed that Matt Gaetz bad.

[David Spade]

Oh, no, it was an hr.

[Dana Carvey]

Why would you think that? I was sitting there thinking, she's being funny. And, yeah, all you have to do.

[David Spade]

Is look at the camera like this.

[Sarah Sherman]

I know, but then I was like. And then I. I looked at the camera, and then when I opened my mouth, it, like, falls apart.

[David Spade]

No, you've been working on your Bloomberg. I think I saw that on the 50th.

[Sarah Sherman]

You like how they built in, though? Like, you know, because it's like John Mulaney comes up to me and is like, hey, Michael Bloomberg. And I'm like, I am Jewish. And then it had built into the script, his line after to be like, yeah, nice impression. Because he, like, already knew it was going to be.

[David Spade]

And they get you in a bald cap, you and Kate McKinnon. I walked behind her thinking it was you. So I was going to, like, give her a kidney punch or something. And I grabbed her and I go, oh, and she has a bald cap on. Looks just like you. I go, you're not Sarah, are you? She's like, it's Kate. I go, oh, my God, you guys look exactly the same. By the way, watch this. Sarah, is it true you have Lauren's text and I know that you abuse it. You're, like, in rehearsal going, lauren, do you know if McDonald's delivers FR for real?

[Sarah Sherman]

I was legit thinking about texting him today.

[David Spade]

What?

[Sarah Sherman]

I want. I. I want someone to post really badly.

[David Spade]

Oh, and you're gonna push for it?

[Sarah Sherman]

Should I just, like, text him and.

[Dana Carvey]

Be like, yo, like, who's the host this week? Because we come out.

[David Spade]

Oh, it's Shane, right?

[Sarah Sherman]

And Shane.

[Dana Carvey]

Shane. Which Shane Gillis? Oh, the Shane Gill.

[David Spade]

Wake up, Dana.

[Sarah Sherman]

Wake up. Oh, yes, I know you're in your decorless monk cell.

[David Spade]

Yeah, Boomer.

[Dana Carvey]

I know you guys like to things. I mean, if you ever been In Spade's closet, he's like, 9,000 Rolex cashmere Lamborghinis.

[David Spade]

No, it's like, jacket man. Now I have maybe 9,000 jackets, and I don't even wear them a lot.

[Dana Carvey]

That's okay.

[Sarah Sherman]

It's okay.

[David Spade]

But, hey, Sarah, did you see Keith Richards that day at the 50th? I never saw him.

[Sarah Sherman]

I never saw him. My dad called me at, like, 9 in the morning the next day, and I was so hungry, hungover, that was blind. And I don't even drink. But I was like. Like, I just met Paul McCartney. I'm going to get blacked out. So my dad was like, did you. Did you meet Keith? Like, for my dad's birthday, me and my brother got him this giant, like, four foot by four foot, like, Keith Richards photo that's, like, hanging in his living room.

[Dana Carvey]

Oh, wow.

[Sarah Sherman]

And my dad loves Keith Richards. And, like, he was like, did you meet him? And I'm like, no. I don't know where he went.

[David Spade]

He was in the audience.

[Sarah Sherman]

But do you just. You didn't see him after?

[David Spade]

No, because I. I had such a juicy spot next to Bill Murray, and then Bill Murray didn't come into the audience for his cutaway. And I was like, oh, I wanted that bullshit with him the whole goddang three and a half hours.

[Sarah Sherman]

Can I tell you guys what I did to Paul McCartney?

[David Spade]

Please?

[Dana Carvey]

Okay.

[David Spade]

Gave him a Snuggie.

[Sarah Sherman]

I saw Judd talk. Judd Apatow talk with me.

[David Spade]

Hey, Paul.

[Sarah Sherman]

At the after party. And I literally grabbed him by the scruff of his back. And I was like, Judd, Paul McCartney now. And so. And so. Thank you, Judd. I owe you my life. He was like, Paul McCartney, Sarah Sherman. And I was like, hi, Paul McCartney. I know you can't tell because my hair was in this, like, crazy hairdo for party or whatever. I was like, paul, I know you can't tell from my hairdo right now, but I usually have a mullet, like, from your Wings era. And I was actually listening to temporary secretary in the shower today blabbing.

[Dana Carvey]

When I wrote that, you know, I thought of a secretary, you know, typing away, and I, you know, sat down for a plunk, and I came out with it. Secretary. And then they said, hold on. Call it temporary. Nice to meet you, Sarah Schwieman Sherman.

[Sarah Sherman]

Imagine all the people with temporary secretaries.

[David Spade]

And imagine when, Sarah, why is he doing John Lennon speaking words of wisdom.

[Dana Carvey]

Let it be lorn. So you are a super fan and you were born after the year 2000.

[David Spade]

Yeah. You're like, thank you for saying 12 years old.

[Sarah Sherman]

Way older than that.

[David Spade]

Now, how about this? So here I go after the Radio City concert thing, and I'm supposed to meet Chris for dinner, and he goes, now we're going to the Mark Hotel. I go, well, I thought we're going downtown. He goes, no, just come here. We got a seat for you. So I go in. Naturally, Paul McCartney's there, so it makes me even more sick.

[Dana Carvey]

Can't get away from the guy.

[David Spade]

Can't get away from the guy. Guy's too around too much, so it's along my side is me. And then rock. And then Larry David and Paul, right? So now there's like 12 people, so I can't really see him. So now it's the sickening cranking my head. He doesn't. I'm a plus one, obviously, so he's being very sweet, but it's hard to see him killing my neck. And then every time he starts telling a story honestly about yesterday or literally everything you want to hear from him, the waiter was over helping us. There's like a team of seven. And so.

[Sarah Sherman]

Huh, New sketch just dropped.

[David Spade]

Oh, here's a sketch. Because literally he goes, and the best thing about yesterday was the guy's like coconut shrimp. And he puts his arm in and I go, yes, thank you. That's for them. And then I look back and he goes, and that's the whole story. And with Let It Be, and he's like, who had potato skins? And I'm like, guy, we don't need to top off the waters for a few seconds. Literally, it was like an assembly line of arms to block stories. And I'm like, guy, Guy. I just want to hear this guy say literally anything. I'm a contest winner. And nope, nope, Couldn't shut up. Couldn't stop. They're all like this starting gates. That guy's water's down a quarter inch.

[Sarah Sherman]

Your karma points were low. God, was fucking with you hard?

[David Spade]

No, but I did hear some bits and pieces, and I couldn't have been. It was the funnest time of the whole thing, of the whole weekend.

[Sarah Sherman]

I wish you were there. But also, I feel like you got the most fun experience of the 50th.

[Dana Carvey]

Because watching it at home.

[Sarah Sherman]

No, just like the 50th. Just coming and like hanging out with us. Like, it's like at the 50th, you didn't get to like, actually talk to anyone.

[Dana Carvey]

The everywhere but nowhere effect of a big party is like that, you know, and you're. But was It. This is your first. How did you feel? Lauren was processing it because he looked almost solemn on the Good Nights. And I was just thinking randomly, like, he's the one that has this emotional thing going on because it is almost like, this is your life. He's seen people from the 70s and. And the gush of emotion. I. What was the vibe at the Good Nights? It was just.

[Sarah Sherman]

I see the good Nights. I was like, I didn't want to even go on stage. Like, I didn't know we had to go on stage. And I felt overwhelmed. I was like, I, like, saw Ben Stiller and I, like, almost passed out. I was like, I, like, could it. I thought my eyes started welling up with tears talking to him and I was like, I look insane. I look like a crackhead.

[David Spade]

Yeah.

[Sarah Sherman]

But like, I saw Lauren after and he looked so stoked. I think he, like, oh, yeah. I think the show was great. And like, he. I can't really remember what he said to me right after, but it was something like, you get it now, right? Like, you get why the show is awesome.

[Dana Carvey]

And I was like, oh, good. I think he was fighting back tears, I think, in a way, by just being kind of like a whole history.

[David Spade]

Of your life and everyone's there. It's almost like a birthday party. And then everyone says, you're, oh, it's gonna be 50th. No one says anything about after the 50th. So it's like, like now, when we.

[Sarah Sherman]

Went back to work on Monday, it.

[David Spade]

Was like we were all like, we're still here.

[Sarah Sherman]

Yeah, it was like this, like, did a finale or something and we were all like, hello, everyone. I think it's like. I think it's composure. Like him at the end, because it's like, you know, if he was up there being like, what's good? Suck it. Like, that would have been weird, you.

[Dana Carvey]

Know, or him just. Just like it's one, like tears coming down his. You know what I mean? And hugging everybody or, you know, because it's like he. There was a. A long time ago it was going to be. He's going to do the 50th and retire. And then it was announced he's going to continue on. So I think he's probably. We did that. And now we. We go back.

[Sarah Sherman]

Shane, you know, we moved the table read from the big scary stage to 17.

[Dana Carvey]

Oh, you went back upstairs.

[Sarah Sherman]

And I totally get it now. It's amazing. It's like sleepover vibes.

[David Spade]

Oh, it's crazy in there. Yeah, they Got a. One window cracked open, getting hot. So I always tell you, by the way, the stage, Sarah, the Good Nights, Dana was like a crowded subway. Like, once you got on there, you couldn't get off because everyone smashed. Sarah and Spade.

[Sarah Sherman]

I just see one hand coming up, like, sarah, help.

[David Spade]

I was drowning. No, someone picked me up. I do not like to get picked up, I'll tell you that right now. And it cracked my neck.

[Dana Carvey]

Adult human man should be.

[David Spade]

Don't pick me up. And. And I'm. I'm not going to say names, but you have to be a little more famous if you're going to pick me up at the Good nights at the 50th, you cannot. If it's Paul, give me a ladder. I'll get on your shoulders. That's fine.

[Sarah Sherman]

Wait, can you telepathically communicate?

[David Spade]

I will tell you right after this. And I didn't like it, and so I walked off the stage, and who would I run into? Kim K. Doesn't even go on stage. I go, go take my spot. She's like, I feel weird going up there. I'm like, listen, I felt we were going up there.

[Sarah Sherman]

It was like every. Like, it was like the Mount Rushmore of comedy.

[David Spade]

Yeah. I said, sarah's up there. I mean, I guess they're letting everybody go up there, so just go.

[Sarah Sherman]

I mean, I was. I couldn't be. I was so in the back that I was in a different building.

[Dana Carvey]

I like that the oldies are gone. I mean, like, me coming in with Jim Gaffigan and.

[Sarah Sherman]

No, but I'm not even joking. Like, I legit. I. I know. I liked when you were there. I want you to come back again. Like, that was really fun.

[Dana Carvey]

I thought I did. Not just for this podcast. Especially fond. They. I can be sentimental of all of you. Every single cast member had such a sweet, sincere all of all of you. Every single one of you. And Squad, every time I saw you come down the hallway, I was happy because you were in some other different kind of clothes.

[Sarah Sherman]

You know, you were like, I didn't know you actually dressed like that.

[Dana Carvey]

I was like, yeah, but you don't refer to it. You're not wearing it. You're just showing up very casually, and you've got pink striped pants on, and yet you're just talking like, okay, yeah.

[David Spade]

What about when you dress like a normal person? The sketches? I'm like, who is this person?

[Sarah Sherman]

That's, like, the most fun part of the job.

[David Spade]

Oh.

[Sarah Sherman]

Is like. It's just like. Because that is Halloween, by the way.

[David Spade]

We have a hot question for you. Where was Sydney Sweeney, your best friend from Hooters? Because Hooters closed, so we thought of you.

[Sarah Sherman]

Oh, someone should sh. Someone give me her number and I text her or something.

[David Spade]

What happened? Oh, look at you guys.

[Sarah Sherman]

That was awesome.

[David Spade]

That was.

[Sarah Sherman]

Oh, look, I love being the fugliest in the picture. Jesus.

[Dana Carvey]

I don't know.

[Sarah Sherman]

Sydney Sweeney.

[David Spade]

My God, I don't know.

[Sarah Sherman]

Next to the woman who's famous for being gorgeous.

[Dana Carvey]

I'll say.

[Sarah Sherman]

At a Rangers hockey game.

[David Spade]

You saw her. Were you yapping with her?

[Sarah Sherman]

I was like, hi. And I was with my brother.

[Dana Carvey]

Did someone tell you to pose like that? Because it was kind of perfect.

[Sarah Sherman]

We. We were just, like, in the. In the mind, body, and spirit of Hooters waitresses.

[David Spade]

Wait, what happened at the game? You introduced everybody.

[Sarah Sherman]

I, like, she. I walked into the sport room or whatever, and she was like, hey, Sarah. And my. I was with my brother. My dad, and my brother was like.

[David Spade]

Oh, my God, like some orc.

[Sarah Sherman]

By the way, hockey is amazing.

[David Spade]

You don't know anything. You have a hockey haircut. You don't even know about hockey.

[Sarah Sherman]

I know. I didn't know well, because I saw they were, like, beating the. Out of each other, and I was like, is someone gonna do something? Oh, that's like the pole game.

[David Spade]

The whole game. She's like, why does someone pick up the puck and throw it? It'll go faster. Were you at the game when it was Canada and they started being the out of each other immediately? First time, eight fights and no, three fights in nine seconds.

[Dana Carvey]

America versus Canada. Right.

[Sarah Sherman]

Listen, if. If any hockey players are listening right now. I'm not single, but call me.

[Dana Carvey]

Interesting. So what is it about a man on ice? Yeah, what is it that gets you?

[David Spade]

Because they're just dudes, and they all get in fights.

[Sarah Sherman]

They like. I just can't believe they really hit each other in the face for real. It's like, you don't even really do that in, like, boxing, do you?

[David Spade]

No, it's.

[Dana Carvey]

It's pretty violent. And a fist fight on skates is also entertaining.

[Sarah Sherman]

Yeah, you're on, like, your shoes are knives and you're punching each other.

[David Spade]

Your shoes are knives. That's true.

[Dana Carvey]

There's no kicking allowed.

[David Spade]

What? Let's talk more quickly before we dump you. What about your. The sketch we did together was fun. We did New York musical. It was called. And Colin Joseph Mulaney wrote it.

[Sarah Sherman]

And Spade did the same thing when he was getting drowning in a sea of people. He would go, sarah, Help. Where are you? And then you could see him crawl his way to the front of the group at the end in that last.

[David Spade]

Oh, right. They told me. They go, why are you not at the singing at the end? I go, oh, I don't know what I'm supposed to do. I'm just sitting in the audience at that point. And I go, no, get back up there and grab a flag.

[Sarah Sherman]

And I, I just hear him in the back going, sarah, help. Help.

[David Spade]

No, I stood next to you. And I go. They go, stand right there and Sarah will tell you what to do. I go, she doesn't know anything.

[Sarah Sherman]

It's so crazy how little that Dana. That's like why I liked when you would come. Because it's like I. I think there is this like, being my fourth year. It's like there's some misconception that I would be like, I would know how to do the job or whatever. It's nice having you there. It's like, no, this guy knows Dana.

[David Spade]

Knows what he's doing.

[Dana Carvey]

I don't know about that. But it is a fourth year is a pivotal year, I think in terms of confidence, you know, kind of takes a while to get used to it. But you seem very composed and funny out there and I think, I think you're popping.

[Sarah Sherman]

I had a. I. This is dorky, but I got this like, aura ring that like. Because I'm a hypochondriac and it like.

[Dana Carvey]

Tells you like, I was interested in that.

[Sarah Sherman]

Yeah, it don't do it because it turns you into a basket case, but because we moved. For the listeners at home who don't know, we moved the table read to a smaller, more intimate room and it really scared the out. I got really nervous because, like, table reads the scariest part for me because I feel like you're like auditing in.

[Dana Carvey]

Front of all of your, like, it's here nerve wracking.

[David Spade]

As far all these things are true, you are. They're all judging.

[Sarah Sherman]

We used to be in this big room where you're really far from people. So if you bomb, you can just like slowly sink into your chair and then like disappear. But like, this room is really small and so like all of your mistakes feel like inescapable or something. And I was so terrified that when I checked my like ordering app and it said that I was like, it basically asked me if I was running an eight hour marathon because I was.

[Dana Carvey]

Like fully 120 sitting in a chair.

[Sarah Sherman]

Like seven hours straight.

[David Spade]

There's people behind you just up Your ass. Like, we were stacked. They're right behind you in chairs. And then you're at the table like this. Oh, I can't move.

[Dana Carvey]

It's.

[Sarah Sherman]

And like, I. I don't know. Like, I. My instinct is to just, like, jump up and flail around. But that's not the vibe of that room.

[Dana Carvey]

No, don't. Don't do that. It's a. It's kind of a death knoll to get up near the piano and sing a song. The only thing you get. You get the pressure. But it's a comedy compression. The room is so tight and the ceiling is so low. Compared to 8H, where the show is that you get. The laughs are big.

[Sarah Sherman]

But I really liked it because, like, stuff like, you know Ashley Padilla, who's like, it's her first season, you know, so we've worked together less. Like, I used to be really, really far from her at table read. And it's like, maybe I got to get my eyes checked. I'm like, I can't see or hear anything. And then yesterday, I got to, like, see her, like, up close, do, like, a lot of really small, subtle, like, facial expressions and stuff that were really, really, really making me laugh that I think. And I'm like, I like, it's just so much better. Like, you get to actually, like, experience people's like, little, like, micro choices and stuff.

[David Spade]

Did you get your attitude checked? Hey, by the way, do you have a. Do you have a seating chart in read through?

[Sarah Sherman]

You know, it's like, it's Lauren calling me.

[David Spade]

I don't know. That's where I was. No, I was. Yeah. Wait, where's the host?

[Sarah Sherman]

He's on the other side of Lauren. And so I can, like, I have, like, periphery vision of Lauren, like, while I'm doing my bit.

[David Spade]

Do you ever watch him glaze over during a sketch? He's like. You're like, Lauren.

[Sarah Sherman]

He. He laughs More at 17, I think.

[David Spade]

Oh.

[Dana Carvey]

Oh, definitely. Yeah.

[David Spade]

Shane's funny. Are they calling you out to rehearsal?

[Sarah Sherman]

No, but I have to turn the TV off because you can see, like.

[David Spade]

Look at this outfit. Are you a drag racer?

[Dana Carvey]

What can we look forward to? Are those fire on the show?

[David Spade]

Yeah. What's going on the show this week?

[Dana Carvey]

On the show without giving anything away because, well, I really hope my stuff.

[Sarah Sherman]

Doesn'T get cut because I really, like.

[David Spade]

You'Re in a million things every second and. And you act like you're not new, though.

[Sarah Sherman]

It's been.

[David Spade]

That's new.

[Sarah Sherman]

That's new. I used to have a Lot of free time on Saturday.

[Dana Carvey]

When I first went out there, you were having a rough couple of weeks, and you stop me in the hallway and go, yeah, I got cut. You know, whatever. And then I saw the evolution where Sarah Sherman.

[David Spade]

Oh, she's leaving. By the way. I was gonna say, you and Marcelo both go, here's my number. And text me. And then you go. You both say, by the way, I don't really answer, and I don't do anything. I'm like, this is. This is your pitch to text you. Believe me, I'm vibrant, fun, and interesting. So if I text you, it's exciting for you.

[Sarah Sherman]

I. I literally pick up the phone. If anything, I pick up.

[David Spade]

Oh, you mean if I call. I don't think I ever call you, though. That's a big step.

[Sarah Sherman]

I would just pick it up.

[David Spade]

That's too heavy for me.

[Sarah Sherman]

I can't. I can't be. I can't be on the phone.

[David Spade]

All right, go.

[Sarah Sherman]

Marcello really doesn't answer.

[David Spade]

He's.

[Sarah Sherman]

I. Every time I have to, I have to call him and be like, hello, excuse me, I'm speaking to you, Dana. When I saw you and I was having a rough time in the first couple of weeks of the show, it's the thing, like, I wanted to respond to that because I think we can have something interesting to talk about. Space.

[David Spade]

Go ahead.

[Sarah Sherman]

It's like, you know, you have, like. For me, like, my summers are like, I'm on tour, and I'm, like, doing my own stuff, and the readjustment period working again here can be really intense. Like, of course, I don't know. Like, you know, whatever. And. And, like, Dana, I, like, was a crawling on my. I was, like, crawling on, like. Like, a single strand to Dana being like, help me. What do I do?

[David Spade]

God, there's no answers because it's so. It's such a pressure cooker. And every week they go, okay, you just finished the show. Shane Gillis. What do you got? You're like, what do I got? I just got off the 50th. But at least you had a week off. But what about when they're back to. Back to back. And new host Ariana Grande? What do you got? You're like. I mean, starting from scratch. I don't know.

[Sarah Sherman]

Like, and it's so much pressure. Like, you know, oh, like, Shane's a comedian. Like, fudgeing. I don't want him to think I'm not fucking funny. Or, like, it's Lady Gaga next week. And it's like, I don't want Lady Gaga. I think I'm a fucking loser. Besides the fact that the job is hard.

[Dana Carvey]

It'S really like trying to catch the wind or something. There is just wanting to relax, be centered. Don't get stuck on the card. Let the audience know you're feeling their vibe. There's a lot of metrics that go into it, and then sometimes it just happens, and all of a sudden you're on air and it's really working, and then you kind of float away. You don't. You don't feel the kind of metrics of turn toward that person. Here's my card for this line. So the show's impossible, and it's emotionally violent, and it's ridiculous, but that's why it's so compelling. I can, as an outsider, if the show's bombing and I'm watching a show, truly not do well. I'm just as entertained.

[David Spade]

It's more fun because they must be freaking for it.

[Dana Carvey]

But, Steve, this is real. There's no laugh track. This is. This sketch did not work. And we get to experience that. No place that like it.

[Sarah Sherman]

That's why I'm like, there's so much of the. So much of comedy right now is, like, on the phone. And I'm like, y'all don't know what it's like to really put yourself out there and fail in a big way.

[David Spade]

You know, you're meaning like a tick tock is shot, edited, tweaked, filtered, totally.

[Dana Carvey]

There's no failure. Yeah, yeah.

[Sarah Sherman]

There's like, you can bomb on the Internet, but you don't feel that in, like, your marrow the same way you do.

[Dana Carvey]

Not even close. Just because you get less views. No, not the same.

[David Spade]

Also, you're supposed to. Nothing like snl.

[Dana Carvey]

And I've done it all, sweetheart. It's nothing like it.

[Sarah Sherman]

But you're Dana. You're like the Zen Buddha. Like, I can't do that thing of, like, going off car. Like, I can't even switch from card to card in the middle of a line without getting, like, vertigo and feeling like the horizon line has gone completely well.

[Dana Carvey]

I was with the church lady that came in late, and I was not. I had not done that character in a while with guests. And you're. She's a traffic cop. You're bringing guests in and out, and then they're switching your single shot back and forth. That's why Lauren had said between dress and air up, you're on the. You're on the cards. You look like you're on the cards. I go, because I am on the cards.

[Sarah Sherman]

I am reading them.

[David Spade]

I'm reading them. Yeah, but tonight, America's on to that trick. They're like, yes, we. We know it's not memorized. Even in my New York one, I'm standing there around so much in rehearsal, I forget to go, by the way, when we really do this, which card am I on? What am I doing? And Melanie's like, you were effing around during rehearsal. I know.

[Sarah Sherman]

Sneaking off.

[David Spade]

No, but Pete was texting. And I'm like, because, you know that military first AD or the stage manager from the Marisol? He's like, yeah, hey.

[Dana Carvey]

Hey, guys.

[David Spade]

And at the end, I go, are there three dumber cast members than us three right now? He's like, no, you guys don't listen, you. And he explains how to get off. They're gonna push this in. Nathan Lane runs out. You got it. I'm like, yep. And then we all do it wrong. And he goes, guys, you're not doing it. And I'm like, I know. It's not sinking in. And. And I go, pete's got his phone, and we didn't have phones. And I said, that must drive everyone extra crazy.

[Sarah Sherman]

You know what, son? I don't bring my phone to the floor because I want to, like, focus and be present. But then I don't have any pictures or my entire experience on Saturday Night Live. And when I joined the show, I saw Jimmy Fallon in the hallway, and he was like, you have to keep a journal. And I'm like, I'm not doing that. And I'm like, wish I did. Don't remember a thing.

[David Spade]

Didn't take a. Rehearsals are the most.

[Dana Carvey]

Journal is a great idea, but I would never have the presence of mind to do. I. I would think that will jinx it. Journaling.

[David Spade]

I know it'll change the show, by the way. Just have a quick announcement before we get rid of Sarah.

[Sarah Sherman]

Stop threatening to get rid of.

[Dana Carvey]

She's got a show to do. How many things are you in now?

[David Spade]

Yeah, Sarah, a couple things.

[Sarah Sherman]

But, like, you know how it goes. Sometimes you're, like, legit in, like, seven things. Like, there was a show a couple weeks ago where I was like, all my sketches were cut, and then my part was cut out of.

[David Spade]

Oh, yeah.

[Sarah Sherman]

And so, like, at the end of the day, you're in one thing, and I'm like. I was, like, coming in, like, I thinking I'm the hot. With, like, eight things.

[David Spade]

Why don't you do an update where you just talk about legit I was legit in the show this week and I was legit worried about it. And he's like, I don't even know what legit means anymore.

[Dana Carvey]

Just go up to Shane and go, gee, golly, Mr. Gillis, I, I, I sure am a fan of what you do out there. You got so many funny voices, I can't even keep track of them. I'm Sarah Sherman.

[Sarah Sherman]

Hey, Mr. Gillis, can I please have some more jokes, please? Stupid Oliver, the street urchin of SNL going up to Ryders, going, Please, Mr. Streeter, can I have some more lines, please?

[Dana Carvey]

There's your. You put this in next week. Yeah, put that in. Just everything. Please, Mr. Sketch Man. Write me a sketch. And then someone comes out dressed as a sketch.

[Sarah Sherman]

Yeah, someone comes out dressed as Santa Claus.

[Dana Carvey]

Or you come on dressed as a sketch on update. Just have a big thing and you.

[Sarah Sherman]

Oh, I have a really. I don't want to say it on the podcast because I really want to.

[David Spade]

Do it this one.

[Dana Carvey]

Eric, we can edit it out.

[Sarah Sherman]

Here's a, Here's a note to Greg the producer. I think you guys have to edit out when the full Tate McCray performance was happening on the mirror.

[David Spade]

Oh, I didn't even see it.

[Sarah Sherman]

I know, just blur it or something.

[Dana Carvey]

Oh, I see it.

[David Spade]

We're looking at you. Ding dong.

[Dana Carvey]

We can cut it out.

[Sarah Sherman]

Your viewers at home, eagle eyed.

[David Spade]

Oh, look at this. Quarter inch, mostly table gray with no sound.

[Dana Carvey]

Our demographic is 72. That's all right.

[David Spade]

Yeah.

[Sarah Sherman]

And my mom. Shout out to my mom.

[David Spade]

She watched.

[Dana Carvey]

Oh, what's her first name?

[Sarah Sherman]

Robin.

[Dana Carvey]

Hi, Robin. You have a lovely daughter. You have a lovely daughter.

[Sarah Sherman]

Imagine your daughter had a normal haircut. Imagine.

[David Spade]

No, it's a good haircut. So quickly before Sarah stays longer, you can. I don't care if you overstay. You're welcome.

[Dana Carvey]

She's lived in the show.

[David Spade]

So my tour, they go, you have to have a name for your dumb next standup tour. Like Sarah. You probably named for yours. Do you?

[Sarah Sherman]

Yeah, live and in the flesh.

[David Spade]

Okay.

[Dana Carvey]

Of course.

[David Spade]

So I thought it was Sarah Squirm, come catch some germs. But anyway, so mine was. I don't have one. I can't think of anything dopey enough.

[Dana Carvey]

Still don't.

[David Spade]

And then they go, we're extending you one week. And then we got to put it out there. So it was the day I got home from snl and. And so they go, what is it? I can't think. And I go, I got a feel for this. I got to Feel for it. Because that was.

[Sarah Sherman]

People were really funny because people were.

[David Spade]

Like, oh, I like when you're in the audience and you go, I got a feel for it. And then I go, just say that.

[Dana Carvey]

Oh, you're taking the line from the SNO50, the title of your special.

[Sarah Sherman]

That's going to trend, like the most spayed thing ever.

[David Spade]

That was a good idea to throw me in the audience because it was such a long sketch too. I could. I'm like, this one's more about the singing. It's all good.

[Dana Carvey]

What was the line you said in the 50th again when they cut to you? You let. You left the sketch, ostensibly, and took a seat.

[David Spade]

Yeah. And they said, where's Spade? First of all, like, they call me my real name. Where's Spade? And then he goes. He goes. He went in the audience, he went back to the audience.

[Dana Carvey]

And then you just said, what?

[David Spade]

Oh, I said, yeah, I got a feel for it.

[Dana Carvey]

But you kind of went like that with your hand.

[David Spade]

Yeah, I go, I gotta feel.

[Dana Carvey]

That took me by.

[David Spade]

Dismissive.

[Sarah Sherman]

Yeah, you're good at that. I get. I'm like, I don't know how to be subtle. Much to everyone's chagrin. It's like, Spade's so good at that.

[Dana Carvey]

I don't know. Your Matt Gaetz had some subtlety whenever you were non verbal.

[David Spade]

Yeah. When your eyes popped out of your head.

[Sarah Sherman]

But it's not. It's like cheating because I had my eyebrows like taped, triangular.

[David Spade]

You're like this.

[Dana Carvey]

I thought later, I didn't have time. I wanted to say, how long have you been dressed as the Klingon? Because you really look like. With the forehead, you know, the lady.

[Sarah Sherman]

It was Klingon.

[David Spade]

It was.

[Dana Carvey]

You got to go through life.

[David Spade]

All right, Sarah, we're gonna let you go back to your rehearsal because you've been very sweet to hang out with.

[Sarah Sherman]

Us all for the past 30 minutes. He's like, we're gonna.

[David Spade]

Well, I said, I'll. We'll steal you for 30 minutes because you're the most fun person. And then we get back to us and the ratings plummet when you're gone.

[Dana Carvey]

It's very sweet, the relationship you two have. David says, sarah this. And we could get Sarah. And Sarah Sherman was there. We. We were laughing. Sarah Sherman and I. Yeah, I said.

[David Spade]

Sarah was fun because I kind of.

[Sarah Sherman]

You didn't even party, dude. We like legit. Like, I don't drink. And then I got like, so blackout.

[Dana Carvey]

What did you drink for a non drinker? What did you Drink, like, legit.

[Sarah Sherman]

Anything anyone gave me.

[Dana Carvey]

Oh, man.

[Sarah Sherman]

Go to a bar and be like, what do you want? I'm like, whatever we're having was blind for three days.

[David Spade]

Who was your squad that you were talking to? I talked to you when I was leaving, and you were waiting by the door. But you look nice. You had your hair all pixied up.

[Sarah Sherman]

I know. I did look nice.

[David Spade]

I didn't expect you to agree, but okay, go ahead.

[Dana Carvey]

Who were you sitting at? Were you at the cool table or.

[David Spade]

No, it was complicated there. It was three stories.

[Sarah Sherman]

What?

[David Spade]

They're like, go to the fifth floor if you want to go to get some crab cakes. I'm like. I kept going higher and higher, going, where's the fun part? They're like, higher. I was like, God dang.

[Sarah Sherman]

There were, like, five floors, like, at.

[David Spade]

The Plaza, bars at the Plot.

[Sarah Sherman]

Like, it was just like. It was nuts.

[David Spade]

I just saw everybody all week, though. If they didn't have three nights of stuff to do at the 40th, that was the party to go to because we only had that night. And so everyone's like, we're gonna milk it all out but this one. We had a fun first night, a fun second night, and then rehearsal was fun all day, and so I had to get up and fly, and I was like, I got. I gotta feel.

[Sarah Sherman]

Oh, you had to fly. You did get a feel for it. He left as soon as I walked in. I was walking in. He was like, oh, perfect. That's my cue to leave.

[Dana Carvey]

I feel bad when I hear how fun it was. I feel bad that I missed. Missed it.

[Sarah Sherman]

No, Dana, I. I'm telling you, you.

[David Spade]

Got the more fun thing because of the weekly hangout.

[Sarah Sherman]

The weekly hangout?

[Dana Carvey]

Yeah. I really, really experienced the show with the new cast and people. Absolutely. And I love being there with Gaffigan and Adam Sandberg and Maya Rudolph, the Fab four. But I. What I'm saying to you both now is that the only way for me to make up with missing the 50th is to be there on the 60th. Whoa. With a tuck and a thing and a squeeze.

[David Spade]

You don't even know.

[Dana Carvey]

Come in at 83 and or 2 and kick ass. Feel the night.

[Sarah Sherman]

I mean, that made me cry.

[David Spade]

Oh, I was by you. We were all about to pile in for the good nights, and he went into that. And once it was. I was like, oh, snap, he's bringing it.

[Dana Carvey]

And he did the guitar solo in the middle. This is side two of Abbey Road for your neophytes. And he did this trading guitar solos. And then in the end, the love you give is equal to the love you take away.

[David Spade]

That's not even close. You know when he came on when I was there, and he did a Chris Farley show, and he goes. And Chris goes, do you remember when you said, the love you take is equal to love you make? And he goes, yes, Chris. And he goes, is that true? I mean, I guess I would like to think.

[Sarah Sherman]

What did I say to you when he was on stage? I was like, where's Ringo?

[David Spade]

Yeah, you said something down like, peace and love.

[Dana Carvey]

Peace and love me brothers.

[David Spade]

Love, peace and love, peace.

[Dana Carvey]

And I did text Lauren after the 5th, and I texted him, I think, on Tuesday, and just wanted to see his sense of the show, what he was doing. And then he texted back, and I. He said, because everyone's so obsessed with Blake Lively Baldini, he's going to appeal. His deposition is going to be thrown out. I go, well, what about this Shane Gillis show and the 50th? Everything? I think Lively is going to do a brief discovery phase. And sure, they may do an adr, which is sort of a way to settle the dispute, but what about the Shane Gillis show and the 50th? The expulatory evidence is going to be presented, but I think you'll be innocent.

[David Spade]

There's a rumor, believe it. Took two gift bags. When he left, he, like.

[Sarah Sherman]

Because he just is like, that's what I really respect about him. He's just like. It's like he takes, like, every day as it happens. Like, it's like he doesn't think too much far forward because the show is so immediate. So he's like, really, like, present. You know what I mean? And, like, maybe this is spilling too much tea. But, like, at that, like, dinner, whatever, there is that, like, cocktail dinner thing. And like, the. Some exec was giving a speech about how, like, they were offering to throw Lauren this, like, giant party just for him. And he was like. It was like the Friday before show. And he was like, no, we got a show to do. I'm not doing a party. And I was like, respect. This guy just cares about the show. He's like, wants to get to work and do the show.

[Dana Carvey]

Oh, yeah. I mean, that. I. I'm sure part of him. Let's get past the 50th. And he wants to get back, and he loves it. And I said to him, you're like an AI. You've downloaded it. You've downloaded the show. So his Blink instinct about sketches and it's a bit light, a bit dare. You know, he lets. He gives a loose rope to people to want to do what they want to do. But he's always dropping these little. Danny. Danny did a similar sketch, but it's like that thing of, you know, so. But yeah, because Lauren is such a close, like, he keeps some of his emotions close to his vest. You kind of want to give him a hug or something or just grab him or, or, or tell him something very sentimental.

[David Spade]

You know, I hug him like a koala bear all the time. I lock in. No, you. What about that speech Tina gave at that toast where she's like, lauren, I'm going to give you a 50 year review of your performance here. She's like, you've missed five years out of 45. That's not horrible. You've had 19,000 tardies. She gave a great speech, Dan.

[Sarah Sherman]

Imagine giving a, like, funny speech in front of, like, in an intimate room in front of like, Larry David and.

[David Spade]

Jerry Seinfeld and like, God, did Chevy. Heckled, of course, my rewrite table now, by the way, say what?

[Sarah Sherman]

I do have to go to my rewrite table now.

[David Spade]

Oh, don't act like you have to go anywhere.

[Dana Carvey]

Oh, good. Now we're okay.

[Sarah Sherman]

Yeah, I have to let you guys go.

[David Spade]

Oh, my God.

[Dana Carvey]

All right. Thanks for coming on, man. It was very interesting. Foreign.

[David Spade]

You know, when I'm on the road, Dana, I'm always. I'm always pretty much staying in hotels, but there's been a shift to Airbnb and you hear about it all the time.

[Dana Carvey]

Hotels are fine. There can be great. But Airbnb is a great alternative, you know, because you get a lot of choices of where you can stay. Oh, yeah, Very practical.

[David Spade]

I mean, hotel can be like, oh, like when I go on the road, I go, that one's the closest hotel is a half hour from the gig or something. But you say, oh, Airbnb just go, oh, I want to go a little closer. I want to be in this area. I want a swimming pool and I want this.

[Dana Carvey]

Yes. And I famously have said many times, a place we used to go, my wife and I, to get away, and we stayed at some really nice hotels. But then we found this Airbnb, which we used, I think, three times. There's always spotless. The keys are outside in a little padlock, and they used to have a bottle of wine and a note, and you have a kitchen. And it was very, very nice. The benefits of Airbnb is that space, privacy, Better locations compared to hotels. You get to pick how close you want to be to wherever you want to go.

[David Spade]

[David Spade]

This better be a good one. Let's see what it. Oh, this is the fog I'm worried about. You heard about the fog?

[Dana Carvey]

I've only seen the horror film about it.

[David Spade]

I like it. I like it.

[Dana Carvey]

Those are parasites and bacteria.

[David Spade]

Is that true?

[Dana Carvey]

This is biological warfare. This is Nuremberg.

[David Spade]

Nuremberg stuff, right?

[Dana Carvey]

Parasites and bacteria. This is Myrtle Beach, South Carolina and it's February 2025. And this is being sprayed on us in the dark of night right here. Go to the source. Tested by an independent lab out of Naples, Florida. And it's full of parasites and bacteria. And this could very well be. While the TB cases are coming open. And.

[David Spade]

That'S enough.

[Dana Carvey]

I would go inside and call the police.

[David Spade]

Yeah, I mean, they're saying they catch it in rainwater. You can turn that off. But they say they do these reports on some of the stuff and they keep finding stuff in this fog and the rain. I'm telling you, if it's like the chemtrails, all these things I read about, if there's any truth to them, people are going to flip out. I'm not even joking. Like, not even like, hey, we're mad. It's like we're gonna murk somebody. If those chemtrails are real, which I keep seeing stuff which makes me. I kind of believe in them. There, I said it. I kind of am crazy person. I believe Also, the earth is square. I'm not even a flat earther. I'm like a new one. Octagon.

[Dana Carvey]

I actually know someone who does not think we landed on the moon. Perfectly normal. Not insane, adult. Yeah, just no way.

[David Spade]

There's, there's a lot of things about that that are iffy. There's 9, 11 stuff, by the way. You can flip me on anything. You show me a 30 second tick tock, I'm like, oh yeah, I'm sold. But some of it's pretty compelling on different things. Some of it, I go, this is horseshit. But there's a couple things out there.

[Dana Carvey]

Where I go, I mean, I want to ask questions.

[David Spade]

What's going on? It's a little too blurry. Like, hey, this was this way. Move it along. And you go, yeah, all your life. Then you go, well, we don't have any way to look into that. We're just told one thing, so let's go back and look at some stuff. And you go, yeah, they were right. Or you go, I don't know.

[Dana Carvey]

Did you see the thing where these people saw Bigfoot, like literally in the forest? And it's like, it's Bigfoot. It's this giant hulking whatever cross of a bear and a man or something. And then it ran off and they went up and it was kind of muddy. So they measured Bigfoot and it was like a size nine.

[David Spade]

So that's me. So what does that mean they call medium foot?

[Dana Carvey]

They call him Bigfoot for 100 years. They find out he's just to size eight and a half.

[David Spade]

So is this bitfoot?

[Dana Carvey]

I went a long way for that joke.

[David Spade]

That was a good journey. I don't mind that.

[Dana Carvey]

I should have said size seven to make it more. But nine is just a regular average foot, you know?

[David Spade]

Yeah, you're right.

[Dana Carvey]

Thanks.

[David Spade]

When girls, I tell them I, they go, hey. They get to my room, they go, you said you were 5, 11. I go, I am. They go, why do you have cat stairs to your bed? I go, don't worry about it.

[Dana Carvey]

Okay.

[David Spade]

That's from the old. That's from the last guy lived here.

[Dana Carvey]

Cat stairs is funny.

[David Spade]

I crawl up, I go, they're not cat stairs. She goes, okay. Kitty stairs.

[Dana Carvey]

I go, yeah, hey, remember anybody out there, if you're on Tinder and you don't like your height, just say you're four foot four. And then when the woman comes, opens the door and goes, you're a giant by the way.

[David Spade]

No one's clicking on that one, unfortunately.

[Dana Carvey]

Well, if you're really charming and funny. You say, I'm four foot four, and then when they see you, they go, my God, I. I loved your personality. And you're a giant. Never try to overrate yourself, you know.

[David Spade]

By the way, are we going to cut this part out and say that the Lauren thing, do you want to address it? You just want to keep it the way it was? The way.

[Dana Carvey]

I don't know. I don't. I don't think I landed it that well.

[David Spade]

No, I mean, it's just keeping it alive, though. I think people are going to start to understand.

[Dana Carvey]

So what I was doing. Because now this will trend. What I was doing was just. We were talking so much and the world was talking so much about Ryan Reynolds and Black.

[David Spade]

Yeah.

[Dana Carvey]

Blake Lively. Lovely people. I don't know them, but I just know them as entertainers. And then Baldini. I don't know his first name.

[David Spade]

You don't know his last name either?

[Dana Carvey]

Is that.

[David Spade]

Is his name Baldoni?

[Dana Carvey]

Baldoni. Baldini.

[David Spade]

I don't know. Something like this.

[Dana Carvey]

Baldini. So the obsession with it and the tabloid obsession with got so silly to me that I just pretended that I had texted Lauren right after the 50th. Lauren, how are you feeling? Baldini is going to counter sue, But, Lauren, the 50th, what. What do you. What did you think of Steve Martin's monologue? I think that they're going to lawyer up. I don't think Reynolds wants to settle. You know, so she was doing script.

[David Spade]

Tweaks on the movie. Yeah. This. Everyone. Bit hard on that one. I thought you were kidding, obviously. And then when I kept seeing articles about it, I go, oh, we all. All we do is talk about stupid things in the show. It's all.

[Dana Carvey]

I don't know. You know, you can't tell if anything's really trending. But for me, the this, the seriosity, if that's a real word, that was taken. It was deadline. It was New York Post.

[Sarah Sherman]

All online.

[Dana Carvey]

It was people. So many people. It was USA Today and so all online. Not saying. But it was really funny to me. And I was just hoping that Lauren wasn't like, what the. You know, But I think he immediately would know it was a joke because obviously he didn't say it.

[David Spade]

It did sound kind of ridiculous, but it sounded kind of true. Also, where you go, maybe. I don't know. But that was. I did like getting. Because usually every week after the showers, we get some articles about something that we talked about the show. We never know what it's like, oh, that, that. And that one was. There was a couple different things, but that one was the most I heard about, but it was still funny. All right, one more. Let's do two more.

[Dana Carvey]

Let's not go over an hour.

[David Spade]

I know. We're almost there.

[Dana Carvey]

All right. Leonardo DiCaprio to stars Evil Knievel in a biopic directed by Damien Giselle.

[David Spade]

I love this because I think he's great, and I love Evil Knievel. Growing up, what a stud.

[Dana Carvey]

I was obsessed with Evil Knievel. In the analog days, it'd be Wild World of sports on Channel 7, and he was gonna jump a Grand Canyon or 50 cars in Vegas.

[David Spade]

And he would fall buses bob him. He'd come in hungover. And even sometimes he'd say to him, there's no way I can make this. So see at the hospital. But, like, I gotta do it. I signed up for it. They're giving me 20 grand or something. And then he does it, and it's like the slow motion wipeout, like at Caesar Palace. You're like, oh, my God. He breaks a hundred bones when he's.

[Dana Carvey]

In his little cape outfit and he's revving his motorcycle like It's a Honda 50. It's like it's screaming. But wasn't. Look this up, Greg. There was an evil Knievel movie. Was it Burt Reynolds or.

[David Spade]

There was.

[Dana Carvey]

There was an evil Knievel movie, I believe, and I don't know who starred in it, but DiCaprio is always good, so I think he will plug him in.

[David Spade]

Yeah, He. He's kind of built like, you know, I think it'll be great.

[Dana Carvey]

And that director is actually.

[David Spade]

He's La La Land. Right?

[Dana Carvey]

La La Land. First man, I think first man on the moon. He did with. Okay, here. George Hamilton played Evil Knievel. Okay. I saw that in the theater in the 70s. Yeah.

[David Spade]

I'd see it just because I would be into anything. All right. I guess that's a good show.

[Dana Carvey]

I guess that's a good show. Sarah Sherman was our.
