Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. SNL Memories & Farewells

• Matt describes clearing out his SNL dressing room on his last day, feeling sentimental and “kismety” about running into Kristen just afterward ([01:59]–[03:46]).
• Kristen shares her own memories of her SNL send-off: “You go when you don’t do it when everyone’s there. So it’s haunted. And you like come in with a box, right. You fill it up and then no one's there and they're just like, goodbye, building.” ([07:14])
• Warm tributes to the SNL security guards—especially Monet X Change’s brother—underscore the family atmosphere ([07:32]).

2. SNL Veterans: Writers and Collaboration

• Bowen and Kristen rave about legendary SNL writers James Anderson and Kent Sublette, recalling their penchant for surreal character names (e.g., “Beginnings Chang,” “Latony Garage”) ([08:33]–[09:49]).
• Matt shares his favorite James Anderson-penned line:

  “This song was an homage to my mother, the mother of the house, Ms. Buffet Styles. Yeah. It was written at 5:00am When I was skiing with Ms. Connie. See what I’m saying? The snow that goes up. Thunderstand. The snorty snow. I’m talking about Crade. I have that in my bones.” ([09:53]–[10:28])

3. Parental Life & Children’s TV

• Kristen discusses how kids have changed her viewing habits—no more live Saturday night SNL, now it’s “Gabby’s Dollhouse” and “Wild Kratts” ([11:00]–[12:05]).
• The trio riff on the weirdness of children’s programming past and present (“Ren & Stimpy,” “Rocko’s Modern Life,” and the more wholesome “Bluey”) ([15:51]–[17:11]).

4. Culture Awards, Real Housewives, and Reality TV Obsessions

• Kristen admits she was starstruck meeting the women of “Real Housewives of Salt Lake City” at the Culture Awards, preferring to maintain a little “magic” and not ruin the illusion by asking questions.

  “I want to meet them, but I don’t want to meet them.” ([17:55])

• Bowen sings the praises of “The Traitors UK,” encouraging Kristen to watch Claudia Winkleman, whom he describes as “a Kristen Wiig character” ([19:43]–[20:40]).

5. Kristen’s Job History: Universal Studios Shenanigans

• Matt and Bowen revisit the iconic “Mutants on the loose!” story from the X-Men/Spider-Man stunt show at Universal Studios, with Kristen detailing her gigs as a faux reporter corralling crowds for the outdoor show ([22:03]–[29:34]).
• Scene is set hilariously: reporters in 90s polyester, guests bemused, Spider-Man plunging onto a puffy mat to Evanescence music ([27:20]).

6. Early Career: Improv, The Joe Schmo Show, and Dr. Pat

• Kristen reminisces about her first “paying comedy job” doing improv at Universal Studios, then starring as “Dr. Pat” on the reality TV satire “Joe Schmo Show.” She describes the ethical weirdness of pranking the unsuspecting “Joe” in the sumo wrestling challenge:

  “I wouldn’t do it again. I love everyone involved, but… I felt bad.” ([36:55])

• “Oh, my stars” becomes a running joke as Kristen recalls being knocked down in character ([37:41]).

7. Formative Cultural Touchstones

• In the classic Las Culturistas question, Kristen reveals her culture-making moments:
  • “A combination of Annie and Grease.” ([41:41])
    • Annie planted her earliest performer dreams: “Why didn’t I get to audition for this even though I’ve never acted in my life?” ([41:52])
    • Grease was the high school fantasy, “the high school aspect… what high school could be. John Travolta, so handsome. And then her. Obviously, don’t just change your identity for a man… but there was something about her becoming this sexual thing and not giving a shit.” ([42:14])
• Hosts note both films’ themes of belonging and transformation for women and girls, resonant with Kristen’s own comedic ethos ([43:38]).

8. Comedy, Musicality, and Favorite SNL Sketches

• The hosts highlight the musical comedy of Wiig’s SNL era, the joy of group numbers (e.g. “Santa’s My Boyfriend,” “Lawrence Welk Show”), and the camaraderie among that “peak cast” ([53:09]–[54:39]).
• Bowen rhapsodizes about Wiig’s control and vulnerability as an actor, especially in “Palm Royale’s” finale and in sketches like Rebecca LaRue, noting the unpredictability between dress rehearsal and live air ([60:18]–[61:55]).
• Kristen discusses the universal imposter syndrome at SNL: “I would never read something and be like, this is gonna kill… you never know… there’s the one where you try to pull it and they’re like, sorry, it’s already in the pack. And it’s on the show.” ([57:54]–[60:07])

9. Advice & Reflection on Criticism

• Kristen urges the new generation of SNL cast to “enjoy the job while you can—cause you’ll miss it every day afterwards” ([07:45], [62:10]), and to avoid obsessing over reviews or online comments.

10. On-Screen and Off: Cultural Sisterhood

• Kristen praises ensemble acting, especially with women: “All the female cast members at that time were very musical… Abby Elliott, Casey [Wilson]… On and on. But it just felt like a really good musical energy” ([53:09]).

11. “I Don’t Think So, Honey” Segment Highlights

• Matt: “My fat thumbs”—riffs on the woes of texting with “chunker” thumbs ([78:12]–[79:27]).
• Bowen: “The word ‘squeegee’”—laments that the item and name don’t match; “Squeegee should be a dog toy or a pet name… not the most un-cute thing in the world.” ([82:01]–[83:04])
• Kristen: “Too Many Snack and Flavor Options”—calls on chip and drink companies to rein it in:

  “Back in the day, you wanted to get a popcorn. You get a plain, you get a cheese, you get a caramel. Now you’ve got the truffles, you’ve got the herbs. It’s too much confusion. I get grocery store confusion.” ([84:39]–[85:48])

12. Snack Culture, Chips, and Overwhelm at the Grocery Store

• The trio discuss “chip anxiety” and too many beverage flavors, with Matt exclaiming: “When I go to the grocery store now… I look at the chip aisle, I get so overwhelmed. I just move on. I don’t even buy a chip, and that’s robbing me of a chip.” ([90:45])

13. Closing Praises, Laughter, and Community

• Bowen and Matt heap praise on Wiig’s versatility and heart—citing “Palm Royale” and “The Skeleton Twins”—and the joy of seeing her and fellow Groundlings like Melissa McCarthy and Rose Byrne thrive ([93:40]–[95:00]).
• The group compares notes on ensemble work, playing antagonism for comedy, and closing with mutual gratitude.

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

• Matt, on the SNL experience:

  “You were the first alum to impart something to me, which was: Enjoy the job while you can. Cause you’ll miss it every day afterwards. And it’s the funnest job in the world.” ([07:45])

• Kristen, on early jobs:

  “We did [improv at Universal Studios] for one day. And they were like, thank you… We did not have a stage. We were walking through the park doing improv.” ([24:47])

• Kristen, on pop-culture touchstones:

  “There was just something about that [in Annie and Grease] that I was like… I realized how much entertainment could, like, affect me. And I think that’s for sure… the seed that was planted was like, I want to do this.” ([43:08])

• Bowen, on “Lawrence Welk Show” live:

  “I don’t think I’ve ever felt the way I felt watching you do Lawrence Welk. No, truly. I think it altered the course of my life.” ([54:53])

• Kristen, on snacks:

• Recurring self-deprecating humor about Cool Ranch Doritos and “cummy” flavor adds a signature Las Culturistas wink ([88:19–89:12])

[Matt Rogers]

Look, man.

[Bowen Yang]

Where? Oh, I see my eye. Oh my. Look over there. Wow.

[Matt Rogers]

Is that the culture? Yes. Goodness.

[Bowen Yang]

Wow. Las Culturistas. Ding dong. Las Culturistas calling now. Where'd you just come from?

[Matt Rogers]

I just came from my dressing room at snl. Today was my actual last day so I had to sneak in there. We're about to go to Japan. Everyone is back at work from hiatus. Everyone's going back today for Monday pitch. But I did really sneak in there before everyone came back. Clearing out my stuff. Lot of wonderful detritus. But the biggest thing for me was this.

[Bowen Yang]

What's this?

[Matt Rogers]

Original wig mold from the hair department. And a little note from Jodi Mancuso, the Emmy winning Jodi Mancuzzo to my bow. And until next time, love, Jodi.

[Bowen Yang]

Oh my God.

[Matt Rogers]

This is my head.

[Bowen Yang]

When you host one day, you have to bring this back.

[Matt Rogers]

I guess so. But no, this is going in my.

[Bowen Yang]

This is. Yeah this is.

[Matt Rogers]

This has a spot, you know, I. Cause I have a little like, head like a hat stand in my apartment. Right?

[Bowen Yang]

Yes, of course.

[Matt Rogers]

This is the new hat stand.

[Bowen Yang]

This is perfect for a hat stand because it's your head already.

[Matt Rogers]

It's absolutely.

[Bowen Yang]

Oh my gosh. And is this word, Bowen, Is this where your face would go?

[Matt Rogers]

That's where. Let's see Face and eyes. I just wanna say face and eyes. Well, I think this is more.

[Bowen Yang]

The eyes are the eyes of the face.

[Matt Rogers]

I should get this tattooed on, like right here.

[Bowen Yang]

That would be really good.

[Matt Rogers]

That would be nice. Anyway.

[Bowen Yang]

And then you start a music career.

[Matt Rogers]

And then I started a music career. But this was all beautifully coincidental because isn't it?

[Bowen Yang]

It is.

[Matt Rogers]

And it's actually a lot of things about this are kismety. Because I went in today was like the last day to do it. And then our guest was coming in today and I was like, oh, wait a minute. And then as I walked to this building, coming out of her gorgeous motorcade. Many cars.

[Bowen Yang]

Many cars.

[Matt Rogers]

It was just one. But coming out of her car was our guest. And it was. She was in a gorgeous faux fur and faux. It felt.

[Bowen Yang]

It felt Vultures.

[Matt Rogers]

Vultures. It felt so, so perfect. You know, Kismet. Kismet. And then so many things about the guest are perfect.

[Bowen Yang]

I recently got to have some high drinks with the guest. I would describe our sort of cavorting as Scooby Doo esque on the new season of Palme Royale.

[Matt Rogers]

Oh my God. I've always wanted to do a stakeout. You got to do multiple stakeouts, like behind a hedge in a car.

[Bowen Yang]

It was wish fulfillment.

[Matt Rogers]

You got. You were up to high jinks and your ass was up to high cheeks.

[Bowen Yang]

Damn. Thank you so much.

[Matt Rogers]

There were a lot of great. Palmer Season two, Episode seven. Yeah, you got a real. This director really loves, I believe, the creator of the show.

[Bowen Yang]

I will say it's Abe Sylvia. Abe Sylvia, that's who is responsible for this. Frames the male asses in the show with an attention to detail that I would only describe as gay.

[Matt Rogers]

Heated rivalry ass.

[Bowen Yang]

Yes. And I would say that there's clearly a gay guy in charge of the show and behind the camera and writing the scripts and thank God. And actually I told him I was like, from one gay guy to another. Congratulations.

[Matt Rogers]

Congratulations.

[Bowen Yang]

This is a gay guy show. And I am so happy. I mean, I was watching the episode and just has the best cast of all time.

[Matt Rogers]

That's perfect.

[Bowen Yang]

By the way, you can stream all of it now on Apple tv. And get.

[Matt Rogers]

They dropped the plus. They dropped the plus.

[Bowen Yang]

Oh, Apple tv. There's no plus.

[Matt Rogers]

There's no plus anymore.

[Bowen Yang]

That doesn't mean it's anything less. Just because they've lost their plus doesn't mean they're not a. Yes, they're just Apple TV Plus. Still ape. Anyways, anyways, bailing on this. We love you.

[Matt Rogers]

We love you, Abe.

[Bowen Yang]

Silvia.

[Matt Rogers]

Abe, Sylvia. A great two first names name.

[Bowen Yang]

Oh, yes, Sylvia. Sneaking in there with a last name that's a woman's last name. Most of the time.

[Matt Rogers]

Most of the time. Not always. Most of the time. Not always.

[Bowen Yang]

But I will say there's congratulations in order because we are sitting here with.

[Matt Rogers]

An actor award nominee, newly renamed actor award nominee.

[Bowen Yang]

And that is a big fucking deal. And I have to say I'm not surprised at all. I don't think there's a person in this biz who's more. Who elicits a more emphatic, like excited, joyful response than the even idea of our guest showing up. And she has shown up here today a true pal, a true talent and more. Please do yourself, us and more a favor by clapping hands like this in the ways of the seal and exalting the presence of our one and only guest, Kristin Wiig.

[Kristen Wiig]

Oh, God, it's so hard to be quiet in the beginning.

[Bowen Yang]

It's hard to be quite.

[Matt Rogers]

You did a great job.

[Kristen Wiig]

Oh, I have to turn away and do little side giggles.

[Bowen Yang]

Yeah, Listen, giggle forward from now on.

[Matt Rogers]

Giggle forward. Giggle forward.

[Bowen Yang]

How you doing?

[Matt Rogers]

Congrats.

[Kristen Wiig]

Thank you. Thank you. I'm happy to be here. And I know that feeling of cleaning out that room.

[Matt Rogers]

What was it like? Do you remember that moment for you. And I was gonna ask what was your dressing room? Which one was it?

[Kristen Wiig]

I think it's the one Sarah's in now.

[Bowen Yang]

Oh, that's a good one. Good energy in that one.

[Kristen Wiig]

Go up the stairs, there's the bathroom. And I think it's the first one you hang, right?

[Matt Rogers]

Yes. Oh my God.

[Bowen Yang]

That was a little bit of a party dressing room, I find, because of.

[Kristen Wiig]

The way it's located. When I was there as well.

[Bowen Yang]

Well, I'm sure.

[Kristen Wiig]

Yes. And cleaning out my office was hard.

[Matt Rogers]

Uh huh. Yeah.

[Kristen Wiig]

Yeah. Because you go when you don't do it when everyone's there.

[Matt Rogers]

So it's haunted.

[Kristen Wiig]

Yeah. And you like come in with a box, right. You fill it up and then no one's there and they're just like, goodbye, building.

[Matt Rogers]

Well, I said bye to the security guards and that was nice.

[Kristen Wiig]

Yes, yes.

[Matt Rogers]

That was Very sweet. Come back soon, Bo. I was like, yeah, come back soon, Bo. It's all these seven foot tall.

[Kristen Wiig]

I love them. All Jersey guys, and they've been there forever. And, oh, you just feel so safe, protected.

[Bowen Yang]

They're incredible. Also, the one icon is Monet X.

[Matt Rogers]

Change's brother, brother Sean. The best.

[Bowen Yang]

Unbelievable.

[Matt Rogers]

Unbelievable. But it also felt, like, so beautiful and perfect. The perfect period on it was running into you. And I just have to say that, yeah, you were the first. You were the first alum to impart something to me, which was enjoy the job while you can. Cause you'll miss it every day afterwards. And it's the funnest job in the world. And I was like, yes. Kristen Wiig. It's fun. It's fun.

[Bowen Yang]

Yeah.

[Kristen Wiig]

And I think it's so easy to, like, over, especially because of the nature of the show. It's like you don't know what you're doing ever. And, like, you could have a sketch that works at dress and it doesn't work at. There's so much, like, letting go. So it's just like. Oh, it's just, you know, not to say it can't be stressful at times, but it's so fun.

[Matt Rogers]

It's so fun.

[Bowen Yang]

When you boil it down, you're.

[Kristen Wiig]

Yeah, you're just like, being down.

[Matt Rogers]

And I want to give a moment to. And I told Matt this this morning, I think we need to dedicate some time to the great James Anderson.

[Kristen Wiig]

I could talk about James Anderson the whole. All day.

[Bowen Yang]

This is the literal place to be.

[Matt Rogers]

And the great Kensa Blatt, like that duo.

[Kristen Wiig]

Yes.

[Matt Rogers]

But, like, individually, they are perfect. But together they were perfect. I think they were your. So these two writers at snl, you're, I think, collaborators as well. I got to overlap with them. And James. Oh, boy. Names. Just on a names level.

[Bowen Yang]

Beginnings.

[Kristen Wiig]

Changing a name.

[Bowen Yang]

Yeah.

[Matt Rogers]

Were you Beginnings Chang or.

[Bowen Yang]

No, that's. No, no, that was Maya.

[Matt Rogers]

That was Maya. Beginnings Chang.

[Bowen Yang]

Beginnings Chang.

[Kristen Wiig]

Wait, and what was Kenan's name in what up with that?

[Matt Rogers]

Oh, no. Treece is the one who sings like.

[Kristen Wiig]

You get the idea.

[Matt Rogers]

You get the idea.

[Bowen Yang]

But Batista Stroh was Amy Poehler's name.

[Kristen Wiig]

Oh, my God.

[Matt Rogers]

I was blessed with the James name once. Latony Garage. And I was a songwriter for Kenan and Scarlett Johansson's Christmas elves who sang, like, Christmas pop songs.

[Kristen Wiig]

Latony Latge back it up with Garage.

[Bowen Yang]

Tony Garage.

[Matt Rogers]

And then he wrote me, I think, sorry to every other writer, including myself. My favorite line I've Ever said on that show. I can say that now in posterity, which was as Latony Garage coming up and saying, this song was an homage to my mother, the mother of the house, Ms. Buffet Styles. Yeah. It was written at 5:00am When I was skiing with Ms. Connie. See what I'm saying? The snow that goes up. Thunderstand. The snorty snow. I'm talking about Crade. I have that in my bones.

[Bowen Yang]

Poetry.

[Kristen Wiig]

Of course you do.

[Bowen Yang]

How do you let that be done.

[Kristen Wiig]

In schools for auditions if you're not.

[Bowen Yang]

Using that as your monologue to get into nyu? Tisch, you're not getting into nyu. You're not getting into Yale Drama School. You don't have a future.

[Kristen Wiig]

And even now watching, you're just like, I know that James Kent did that.

[Matt Rogers]

How often do you watch right now?

[Kristen Wiig]

I will say, not as much now. With the children.

[Matt Rogers]

Well, yes, because there's, like, a contingent of alums, too, like Tina and Amy seem to watch it, like, every week.

[Kristen Wiig]

Yes.

[Matt Rogers]

And they're like, oh, that must have moved down from air or from dress. They're talking shop about it.

[Kristen Wiig]

Watching later, but actual Saturday night. I haven't done that in a long time.

[Matt Rogers]

No problem with my little children.

[Bowen Yang]

What are you watching with the kids? What's their favorite show?

[Matt Rogers]

Gabby's Playhouse.

[Bowen Yang]

Do they love Miss Rachel? Are they just a little old for Miss Rachel?

[Matt Rogers]

Gabby's Dollhouse.

[Kristen Wiig]

Oh, Miss Rachel.

[Matt Rogers]

Yeah.

[Kristen Wiig]

Yes, they've seen Miss Rachel. Gabby's Dollhouse. They love some Paw Patrol. Yeah, they love. They love Wild Krats.

[Matt Rogers]

They do Wild, Wild, Wild Krats.

[Kristen Wiig]

Where should I look?

[Bowen Yang]

Well, tell them.

[Matt Rogers]

Tell them.

[Kristen Wiig]

Well, it's these two guys, the Crap Brothers. And they talk about an animal.

[Matt Rogers]

I. The Krat Brothers.

[Kristen Wiig]

I don't watch with them, but, you.

[Bowen Yang]

Know, enough to know it's not gonna harm the children.

[Kristen Wiig]

It's not gonna harm. They take an animal, start studying the animal, and then they turn animated and, oh, my God, I can't pitch the show. Then they're animated with the animated animal.

[Matt Rogers]

Yeah.

[Bowen Yang]

You know what, though? What's important is it makes sense to them.

[Kristen Wiig]

Then they come out. Here's what it is.

[Bowen Yang]

Here's what it is.

[Matt Rogers]

I turn on Wild Kratz.

[Kristen Wiig]

I make sure it's set up, and then oftentimes I don't stay.

[Matt Rogers]

No, you're not staying.

[Bowen Yang]

So why would you say.

[Kristen Wiig]

And then I'll come back in and be like, oh, so you learned about lemurs?

[Matt Rogers]

Yeah, because they're 16 years old.

[Bowen Yang]

Who?

[Matt Rogers]

Both of your children.

[Bowen Yang]

You go off and you watch something adult. You were saying earlier, your favorite shows are ncis. Every franchise, every single one.

[Kristen Wiig]

I fall asleep to just murder.

[Bowen Yang]

Adult stuff.

[Kristen Wiig]

Adults. No, I can't watch those shows.

[Bowen Yang]

Me neither. I can't be stressed before bed. Unless it's women arguing, as we know.

[Kristen Wiig]

Oh, yeah.

[Matt Rogers]

Oh, yeah.

[Bowen Yang]

We're all big in the house.

[Kristen Wiig]

I can't do, like, murder. I can't do scary movies. I can't do anything dark. It stays in my brain. I'm too sensitive.

[Matt Rogers]

You two are kindreds for sure.

[Kristen Wiig]

I'm an HSP for sure.

[Bowen Yang]

I can't even do something stressful. You know what? I'm dying for a baking show. Do you find those to be the most stressful programming?

[Kristen Wiig]

Yeah, sometimes I'm like, oh, isn't dry, or whatever.

[Matt Rogers]

I don't know.

[Kristen Wiig]

I don't bake.

[Bowen Yang]

Doesn't Vanessa. I think Vanessa hosts the baking show. Or she did. Yes.

[Kristen Wiig]

She did host something. Yes. And Casey Wilson hosts. Yes. The celebrity.

[Matt Rogers]

Oh, that's such a dream.

[Kristen Wiig]

Any competition.

[Matt Rogers]

He's done it. He's hosted it.

[Kristen Wiig]

I feel bad for the people who.

[Bowen Yang]

Said I hosted a dog grooming competition show called Haute Dog. Like, Haute Couture.

[Matt Rogers]

That is no longer on Mask.

[Bowen Yang]

You may not watch it. Okay. It was removed.

[Kristen Wiig]

It's erased from the Internet.

[Bowen Yang]

Yeah. Wow. It's completely gone. It was me, Robin Feedy and Jess.

[Matt Rogers]

Rona Zaslav said, not for me.

[Bowen Yang]

He said, this is not good. Wow. These dogs should look like dogs, not fashion models.

[Kristen Wiig]

Okay?

[Bowen Yang]

Because one dog, they turned into Lady Gaga. Another dog, they turned into Kate Gosselin.

[Matt Rogers]

2009. Kate Gosselin.

[Bowen Yang]

Yeah.

[Matt Rogers]

Yeah.

[Kristen Wiig]

And this was recent.

[Bowen Yang]

This was pandemic. So this literally shot. It shot in July 2020. It was the only thing shooting in Los angeles, along with RuPaul's Drag Race. It was hot dog and RuPaul's Drag Race. And it was truly. I was like, wow. We shot, like, two weeks straight. 12 episodes. Put it on. It was chopped with dog grooming. Heartbreaking.

[Kristen Wiig]

Well, there's your show.

[Bowen Yang]

Yeah.

[Matt Rogers]

Chocolate. Chocolate. That was the show.

[Bowen Yang]

In fact, it was the show.

[Kristen Wiig]

Cooking show.

[Bowen Yang]

Oh.

[Matt Rogers]

With dog grooming.

[Kristen Wiig]

Grooming.

[Bowen Yang]

You thought you were coming here to be challenged for your dog grooming, but in fact, make us a cordon blue.

[Kristen Wiig]

While blow drying this poodle and making them look like.

[Matt Rogers]

See, don't know how to pet.

[Kristen Wiig]

Yeah, I have ideas. But wait, I have ideas.

[Matt Rogers]

You were saying this on Amy's podcast that, like. And I relate to this horror, which is that I'm a horrible, horrible Storyteller. Like, my worst nightmare is explaining.

[Kristen Wiig]

Oh, no, it's my worst walking someone.

[Matt Rogers]

Through an idea or a narrative and having everyone listen to me while I do it.

[Kristen Wiig]

Bowen, I'm so happy to hear this because do you find people are like, that's not true. I don't believe you. Because you can do other things.

[Matt Rogers]

Embellished. Yeah.

[Kristen Wiig]

I'm so bad. It's my nightmare to be out to dinner and be like, oh, my God, Kristen, tell that story. I'm like. Because I couldn't even describe Wildcrats.

[Bowen Yang]

You did describe it.

[Kristen Wiig]

I kind of described it.

[Bowen Yang]

It's an avant garde children's show.

[Kristen Wiig]

Yes, it's an avant garde children's show. And then somehow they come back and then they say, thanks for watching.

[Bowen Yang]

Yeah, I'm happy to even do it. Can I say that I'm happy to know that children's programming is still, like, a little wacko and surreal? Because I remember when we were younger and you would. So it was Disney Channel, which was a little bit more straightforward. And of course, this is more like preteen program I'm talking about. But Nickelodeon, when we were kids, like, young, young, it was cracked the things that would happen in those animated shows like Ren and Stimpy and Rocko's Modern Life. Like, this was.

[Kristen Wiig]

Stippy felt adult to me.

[Bowen Yang]

Very much so. Very much so.

[Kristen Wiig]

Was that on in the morning?

[Bowen Yang]

I think it was on. It wasn't Cartoon Network. I think it was Nickelodeon.

[Matt Rogers]

It was Nickelodeon.

[Bowen Yang]

It was Nickelodeon in a bar.

[Kristen Wiig]

You know what I mean? Like, you'd go into a bar and just, like, Ren and Stimpy would be playing.

[Matt Rogers]

That's a cool bar.

[Bowen Yang]

I remember, like, Rocko's Modern Life. There was a scene one time where, like, Rocco got shot out of a cannon and landed thousands of miles away. And, like, where he landed was with full force into a huge, like, hippopotamus breasts. And the hippo said, how dare you? And that was the humor in the program.

[Kristen Wiig]

I don't even know what to say.

[Bowen Yang]

There's nothing to say. The only thing to do is really react and take it in and then you process at home.

[Kristen Wiig]

Yes. I can't. I let Bluey, I think, is really sweet, and I love watching Bluey. Bluey, I love. But I just kind of. TV is a time for. For Mama to rest.

[Matt Rogers]

Yeah, Mama's resting. She's watching Salt Lake. You were. Can you. Can you talk about this? That you were the most starstruck at the culture awards, which you were phenomenal in, by the way. Thank you for doing that.

[Kristen Wiig]

Thank you for having me. And that was the tour de force. Such a fun night.

[Matt Rogers]

Robin, the Riddler's assistant.

[Kristen Wiig]

I didn't quite realize, like, how many of them were going to be there.

[Bowen Yang]

Oh, you mean all.

[Matt Rogers]

All of them.

[Bowen Yang]

You mean touring in Australia with Theresa.

[Kristen Wiig]

Looking down at the seats with the names? Yeah, I didn't. Because it's a connection I have with these people.

[Matt Rogers]

But of course, I've broken the barrier.

[Kristen Wiig]

Something I didn't want to cross it.

[Matt Rogers]

Yeah.

[Kristen Wiig]

You know what I mean? Like, I want to meet them, but I don't want to meet them.

[Bowen Yang]

You have to be in the tv, like you say to those people. It's like you. But then what I loved was we got to see all the photos afterwards from the green room. And you did get a picture with each and every one of them and which, you know, made their life.

[Kristen Wiig]

Yeah, of course I did.

[Matt Rogers]

Yeah.

[Bowen Yang]

Yeah.

[Kristen Wiig]

I wanted to. I wanted to meet and greet every one of them.

[Bowen Yang]

Yeah.

[Kristen Wiig]

But I don't want to ask them questions. I don't want to know about the show. I don't want to know who knows what before the things like, I. I don't care what's talked about. I don't. I don't want to know.

[Matt Rogers]

Cause you're honoring me.

[Kristen Wiig]

I don't want to go behind the curtain. I just want to.

[Matt Rogers]

Because I'm the same way. Like Matt will tell you, the people I'm most starstruck around are the housewives. Aidy Bryant is the same way, and she was the same way that night. She was like, I can't believe all of the Salt Lake City women are here.

[Bowen Yang]

Rinna just being around sort of running. Running the whole show was really. And by the way, made a lot of sense. Have you started Traitors?

[Kristen Wiig]

No, it's the one I haven't started. And I will.

[Matt Rogers]

You're gonna love it.

[Kristen Wiig]

Where should I start?

[Bowen Yang]

I think I'm just gonna tell this to you because now this is gonna come out shortly. But the thing is, we now have seen the first three episodes. And so everyone out there, this isn't a spoiler. Lysa Rinna is a traitor, okay? They've chosen her as a traitor. And it was a euphoric moment for. I think anyone watching that knows exactly how well they've done in making this decision. But to know that she's gonna be in charge of the gameplay, See, I.

[Kristen Wiig]

Don really know what. It's kind of like they just tap your shoulder, right. And then you're the here talk About Good.

[Matt Rogers]

Look at that camera.

[Bowen Yang]

Look at that camera. Say what you think traitors is.

[Kristen Wiig]

No, it's everyone lives in a castle 100%. And people get chosen to, like, kill people.

[Bowen Yang]

Yes.

[Matt Rogers]

You're doing great.

[Kristen Wiig]

Nobody knows.

[Bowen Yang]

No one knows.

[Kristen Wiig]

And even if you are a killer, you pretend like you're not a killer.

[Bowen Yang]

Yes. That's crucial.

[Kristen Wiig]

And then you kill them by.

[Bowen Yang]

You write them a letter.

[Kristen Wiig]

Oh, you write them a letter.

[Matt Rogers]

No. So if you're a traitor, you meet in what's called. And this is real. You meet in what's called the turret at night.

[Bowen Yang]

Pronounced like turret. The turret by Alan Cumming.

[Matt Rogers]

By. Yes. Scottish icon and Alan Cumming. And you watch them deliberate on who to kill.

[Kristen Wiig]

Okay.

[Matt Rogers]

And then the next morning at breakfast, everyone shows up. And then the person who doesn't show up at breakfast is Jedi. Everyone's like, it was this person.

[Bowen Yang]

And then there's also a British and Australian version of the show.

[Matt Rogers]

Excellent.

[Bowen Yang]

And when people don't come into breakfast the next day and they realize who's murdered, people will often say things like, oh, no.

[Matt Rogers]

And then the British host is a woman named Claudia.

[Bowen Yang]

Claudia Winkleman.

[Matt Rogers]

Claudia Winkleman.

[Bowen Yang]

Who is a Kristen Wiig character. You need to look up Claudia Winkleman. You actually have to.

[Matt Rogers]

Oh, my God. Kristen. And you have to.

[Kristen Wiig]

I will.

[Matt Rogers]

Because she walks into breakfast like this.

[Bowen Yang]

And goes, the traitors have murdered again.

[Matt Rogers]

This is a tragedy of Titanic proportions.

[Bowen Yang]

The traitors are laughing at you. I can hear them laughing. And then Tom Daly from the UK Diver got eliminated.

[Matt Rogers]

And she.

[Bowen Yang]

She. She comes in, announces he's dead, and she goes, he won gold for this country. Is that not enough?

[Matt Rogers]

He won gold for this country. That wasn't enough.

[Kristen Wiig]

Oh, no. I need to watch.

[Matt Rogers]

It's Kristen.

[Bowen Yang]

Okay. Can I ask you a question? When you went on as Harry Styles on the Tonight Show.

[Kristen Wiig]

Yes.

[Bowen Yang]

You did not know who Harry Styles was?

[Matt Rogers]

I.

[Bowen Yang]

No, no, no.

[Kristen Wiig]

I knew who he was.

[Matt Rogers]

I just didn't know who he was.

[Kristen Wiig]

Anything about.

[Bowen Yang]

You didn't know who he was?

[Matt Rogers]

I knew.

[Kristen Wiig]

Same with when I did Michael Jordan, Khaleesi or Michael Jordan. I know who they are, but I don't know, like, Khaleesi.

[Bowen Yang]

What are you coming out dressed as tonight? Are you coming out dressed as a.

[Kristen Wiig]

No, by myself.

[Bowen Yang]

You're myself by myself.

[Kristen Wiig]

But we're just doing, like, a little let's make fun of Kristen.

[Matt Rogers]

So speaking of. Speaking of, let's make fun of Kristin.

[Bowen Yang]

She got the actor award nomination. Now take her down a path. People are soaring too high.

[Matt Rogers]

Off her pedestal.

[Bowen Yang]

Get em.

[Kristen Wiig]

Get em.

[Matt Rogers]

We've been dying to ask you this.

[Kristen Wiig]

Oh, my God.

[Matt Rogers]

What? Because this is a thing that we've quoted and referenced for at least, I wanna say, like, seven years, Matt and.

[Kristen Wiig]

I. Oh, my goodness.

[Matt Rogers]

You told a story on the Late show with David Letterman.

[Bowen Yang]

This is a really important moment about.

[Matt Rogers]

One of your first jobs in LA being at Universal Studios.

[Kristen Wiig]

Yes.

[Matt Rogers]

The park. You started, as I can recall, you started off at the. You just called it the restaurant. You will have to be more specific on which restaurant, but we'll get back to that. And then you also told the audience, the world, me, that your other job was that you were playing a reporter. A reporter on the lower level, trying to get people to come to the X Men, Spider man show.

[Kristen Wiig]

The outdoor show. The outdoor, like, stunt show did not have seats. It just had a stage. This is correct.

[Bowen Yang]

So your job was to corral.

[Kristen Wiig]

Yes.

[Matt Rogers]

But then you had a microphone that boomed your voice to the entire park.

[Kristen Wiig]

Yes.

[Matt Rogers]

And so you would say things like, come here, come here. Or our favorite. The thing that we've been quoting for the past. For the past several years is, hey, did you hear that there are mutants on the loose?

[Kristen Wiig]

Yes.

[Matt Rogers]

People would look at you sideways.

[Bowen Yang]

Our favorite face is this.

[Kristen Wiig]

Okay, so to be clear, I worked at. In the restaurant at the executive dining room.

[Matt Rogers]

Oh, wow.

[Kristen Wiig]

So I did. Yes.

[Bowen Yang]

Let's celebrate that tray service.

[Kristen Wiig]

Yeah. Well, they have. I would take the order and bring drinks. They had food runners. I would bring the dessert.

[Matt Rogers]

Great.

[Kristen Wiig]

I had the tie, the apron.

[Matt Rogers]

Very Chicago.

[Kristen Wiig]

That was a great job.

[Matt Rogers]

Yeah. Yes.

[Kristen Wiig]

And then I was like, I want to perform.

[Bowen Yang]

Yeah. I got to move into the entertainment sector.

[Kristen Wiig]

So I got a job. I auditioned for. They were going to do an improv group.

[Matt Rogers]

Great. At Universal.

[Kristen Wiig]

Yes. For the park.

[Bowen Yang]

Yeah.

[Kristen Wiig]

Oh, exactly. Was not thought out. Well. We did not have a stage. We were walking through the park doing improv.

[Bowen Yang]

Just started doing improv.

[Kristen Wiig]

You realize doing improv is being somewhere getting a suggestion. So literally, we would be walking through the park and we'd be like, hey, can I have a location? And it would be like, Home Depot. And then they would, like, walk away. And then we start to do a scene about Home Depot. But then other people would walk up and be like, who are these people? I don't know where. What's the game? We would stop in the middle of it. No one's watching. Who was originally there? We trained. We were host for weeks. And we auditioned for this. We were like, this is our big break. We did it for One day.

[Bowen Yang]

Prominent parks lasted one day.

[Kristen Wiig]

And they were like, thank you. We're like this. What is this? Because we'd be like walking through and then you'd see part of the people and they're like rescuing someone from, like, the boat. And people were just like, excuse me. Walking through the scene. There was no stage, nothing.

[Matt Rogers]

So you do know how to tell a story. Look at that.

[Kristen Wiig]

Okay, well, that. Okay, well, I'm crying.

[Bowen Yang]

Wait, but then.

[Matt Rogers]

But then.

[Kristen Wiig]

So they said. They said to me, we are doing this X Men show. X Men show on the lower lot. On the. There's.

[Matt Rogers]

You have to take 10 escalators down.

[Kristen Wiig]

It's the down one. I think you're at the bottom of Universal. There's another one.

[Matt Rogers]

There's.

[Kristen Wiig]

That's below.

[Bowen Yang]

Yeah.

[Kristen Wiig]

It's still outdoors.

[Bowen Yang]

There's yet more depth to Universal Studios Hollywood.

[Kristen Wiig]

There is a stage and it was a show with. Where the X Men would come out. But I. My name was like, Something Martinez. Something. I did not something. This was. They gave me the name. I had a microphone. I was dressed like a newscaster.

[Bowen Yang]

Doris Martinez.

[Kristen Wiig]

Something like that. Something like that. And I came out and they were like, you gotta bring the crowd into, like, the stage. But it's just people walking around. So I would have to.

[Bowen Yang]

Trying to get on the rides down there.

[Kristen Wiig]

Yeah. It's like, oh, hey, excuse me. Hey, hell. My name is something Martinez. Something Martinez. And like, did you hear there's a mutant on the loose? She goes, come on, it's. And then I would just, like, point to the stage and be like, just wait right here.

[Bowen Yang]

Hey, Dan. And I would.

[Kristen Wiig]

It was my job to get people to come.

[Bowen Yang]

To come to the stage and stand.

[Kristen Wiig]

And wait and wait. Because it was minutes. I had do this for, like, minutes.

[Bowen Yang]

And then.

[Kristen Wiig]

Then music would start.

[Bowen Yang]

Sure.

[Kristen Wiig]

And Storm and. And Aurora. Wolverine, maybe.

[Bowen Yang]

Yeah, I'm sure he was involved.

[Kristen Wiig]

We're just like.

[Bowen Yang]

He tends to go where the X.

[Kristen Wiig]

Men are walking through the park. Not even on stage yet.

[Bowen Yang]

Just like, improv.

[Kristen Wiig]

And they're holding like, a machine that's like, supposed to detect mutants.

[Bowen Yang]

Crime mutants. Oh, yeah, of course.

[Kristen Wiig]

Yes. So then they do that. They'd find, like, they'd go up to like, a little kid and, like, you're a mutant. Pretend to do whatever. And then. And then the show's over.

[Bowen Yang]

And then that's the show. And then are you out there being.

[Kristen Wiig]

Like, okay, you're a mutant. Like, try to raise this glass. And then obviously it's on a pulley, which you could see and it would.

[Bowen Yang]

Go like, that's really cool.

[Kristen Wiig]

And then people would be like, oh, my God, you're a mutant.

[Matt Rogers]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Kristen Wiig]

Then I had to go mutant. Then the end of the show, I had to be like, thanks for coming. Oh, my God, it's Spider Man. And Spider man was standing on top of a building. And you know that song by. Is it Paramore? That's like.

[Matt Rogers]

Oh, Evanescence.

[Bowen Yang]

Yes.

[Kristen Wiig]

Spider Man. Spider man, his leg up on the thing. And then it stops. Spider man falls off the building into a puffy mattress that you can see. So he's standing on a building like this, And it's like.

[Bowen Yang]

And the music cuts.

[Matt Rogers]

The music cuts out as he lands.

[Kristen Wiig]

Yes.

[Bowen Yang]

And then it's over.

[Kristen Wiig]

And then it's.

[Matt Rogers]

You gotta do it all over.

[Kristen Wiig]

Everyone walks away.

[Matt Rogers]

Yeah.

[Bowen Yang]

And where do you go?

[Kristen Wiig]

Thank you for coming. I go into the guest room thing, and then I have to come out and do it the next hour. It was like, every hour. We had to do the show.

[Bowen Yang]

Oh, my God.

[Kristen Wiig]

Thank you for coming. And then now, did you ever find, like. Did you ever feel like everyone just, like, walks away?

[Bowen Yang]

Slowly?

[Matt Rogers]

Walks.

[Kristen Wiig]

No music. Just like. And then everyone walks away? Is this okay that I'm saying this?

[Bowen Yang]

No. Yes.

[Matt Rogers]

Yeah.

[Bowen Yang]

Did you ever feel like it went well?

[Kristen Wiig]

Like, did you ever feel, like, killed?

[Bowen Yang]

It got up, got 30 people to watch it?

[Kristen Wiig]

Because by the end of the summer, and this was in the heat of summer.

[Bowen Yang]

Well, yes.

[Kristen Wiig]

So hot, you know, you start to get, like, loose with it.

[Matt Rogers]

You kind of like.

[Kristen Wiig]

And the kids who got. They were, like, so excited, you know, like, oh, my God, I'm a mutant. That was fun.

[Matt Rogers]

How many people, on average would you corral in one show?

[Kristen Wiig]

I mean, in the tens.

[Bowen Yang]

In the tens is good.

[Kristen Wiig]

People would start to come. Like, people would. Cause it was a show. It had lights and it had. All the X Men were up there, you know.

[Bowen Yang]

Oh, look, Spider man is title of episode.

[Matt Rogers]

Oh, look, Spider man is the title of episode.

[Kristen Wiig]

Oh, look, Spider Man.

[Matt Rogers]

How big was the stage? Was it the size of this rug?

[Kristen Wiig]

No, it was like two rugs.

[Bowen Yang]

It was like two rugs. For all of you at home, it was about two rugs.

[Matt Rogers]

Two rugs.

[Kristen Wiig]

Two rugs.

[Bowen Yang]

Yeah. But the thing is, I want to.

[Kristen Wiig]

Say I loved working at Universal, though.

[Matt Rogers]

I'm sure I could tell.

[Bowen Yang]

It sounds like it was really fun.

[Kristen Wiig]

Working on a movie studio. It was so fun. I also catered there, so I would, like, you know, drive the little golf carts around.

[Matt Rogers]

They were gonna reboot Blind Date and I auditioned to be the host and it was like this weird like driving around on the cart. There is like a glamour to it. It's what you always wish for. And I remember thinking the same thing when we were doing Palm Royale on the Warner Brothers lot. I remember we were all in costume and then it was across the street from Abbott elementary and they're a great vibe. That whole cast is incredible. You guys are all incredible. It felt really, really fun. And then I remember everyone's in costume, whatever. And then the tram went by and I was like oh wow. That was really a cool moment of being on a real lot. And the fact that it's just Palme Royale is such a realized. The costumes are incredible. All the departments are doing such incredible work.

[Kristen Wiig]

Amazing cast and to be able to.

[Bowen Yang]

Do that on the lot, coming from what you your career doing, that's like really full circle.

[Kristen Wiig]

Yeah. And, and, and being on the lot like, like you said, there's so many other shows. I think the pit shooting there. So you see people walking around with like bandages on and like, like oh.

[Bowen Yang]

My God, the pit. Pomroy and Abbott elementary. Three different world. You can do anything on a lot.

[Matt Rogers]

You really can shoot. Let's shoot in la everybody. That's beautiful. Thank you for giving us more color and detail because I've been thinking about that just you saying did you hear there are Mutants on the loose.

[Kristen Wiig]

There's mutants on the loose. Please just watch the show to figure it out.

[Bowen Yang]

You gotta figure, no, there's gonna be mutants really soon.

[Kristen Wiig]

Did you hear?

[Bowen Yang]

There's mutants on the loose. But speaking of your early improv live, Mike, have you heard, like one of the things I've wanted to ask you about for a very long time, and I've never brought up to you, and I don't know if you even know this, but one of my favorite shows in the beginning, like when I was like when I first got like a TV in my room and could like post up and watch a show all day, was something called the Joe Schmo Show. And it was on the Man. It was on Spike tv.

[Kristen Wiig]

Spike tv.

[Bowen Yang]

So it was on Spike tv. Back when this was a thing I remember I would like. Because I was like, had a TV in my room. I was flashing back between Spike TV and E. Like watching. Remember when Howard Stern was on E at night?

[Matt Rogers]

Yes.

[Bowen Yang]

I felt like such. Like an adult in my room with a tv. I got obsessed with the Joe Schmo show. And you were on the Joe Schmo Show?

[Kristen Wiig]

Yes.

[Bowen Yang]

Do you wanna describe what the Joe Schmo show was and what your on it was?

[Kristen Wiig]

Yes. It was a reality show, but it was all improvisers. Kind of like the jury.

[Bowen Yang]

Jury duty.

[Kristen Wiig]

Jury duty, yes.

[Matt Rogers]

Perfect. Perfect.

[Kristen Wiig]

I think I haven't seen it, but 100% very similar. And there's one guy that thought it was real.

[Matt Rogers]

Right.

[Bowen Yang]

He thought he was on a show called Lap of Luxury.

[Kristen Wiig]

Yes. And we were all improvisers and we had to. Yes. And my character, her name was Dr. Pat.

[Matt Rogers]

Dr. Pat.

[Kristen Wiig]

And she was a marriage counselor that was married like six times or something.

[Bowen Yang]

She was a marriage counselor that had been married many, many times. And I remember you were on the show and it was like, so basically their job is to convince this person that they're in a real reality competition show and he's the only one who's doing it for real. And they're all actors playing characters. Get a load of this.

[Kristen Wiig]

And I, I wouldn't do it again. I love everyone involved, but my conscience. I felt bad.

[Bowen Yang]

Well, basically you felt bad.

[Matt Rogers]

It's a version of Traitors, by the way.

[Bowen Yang]

Very much so. But the thing was, there was a physical challenge where they were all in sumo wrestling outfits and Kristen was in a sumo wrestling outfit as Dr. Pat. And she was up against the guy who was the Joe Schnaut. And during the competition, he knocked the wind out of you so hard during the sumo wrestling that you had to go to the hospital and leave the show.

[Matt Rogers]

What?

[Bowen Yang]

And I'll never forget, you stayed in character while you were knocked out. And you said over and over again, oh, my stars.

[Matt Rogers]

Oh, my stars.

[Bowen Yang]

Oh, my stars.

[Matt Rogers]

I.

[Kristen Wiig]

Because the costume, it was one of those sumer things where there's space on the back.

[Bowen Yang]

The.

[Kristen Wiig]

On the back.

[Matt Rogers]

And so you're like.

[Kristen Wiig]

So I got. Yes. And I got, like, fully whipped. Fully whipped. And I had to go.

[Matt Rogers]

And you stayed in character as doctor.

[Kristen Wiig]

Well, I don't want to be like, give me the.

[Bowen Yang]

You would have been.

[Matt Rogers]

I would have been in character.

[Kristen Wiig]

Well, no, because she.

[Bowen Yang]

Oh, she was so. She was like, very docile person.

[Kristen Wiig]

Yes.

[Matt Rogers]

I see.

[Bowen Yang]

She's like, hi, I'm Dr. Pat.

[Kristen Wiig]

Yes.

[Bowen Yang]

You know what? It was very. Kristen was doing, like. Like, early Kristen. Like, hello. Yes. Please let me know if you have any problems. I've been married six times, but I have a lot of experience.

[Kristen Wiig]

That is so funny that you watched that.

[Bowen Yang]

It was my favorite show.

[Kristen Wiig]

That was the first thing. In fact, that was the show that I got. That's when I left Universal, when I was waiting tables.

[Matt Rogers]

I was like, I booked it.

[Kristen Wiig]

I've made it.

[Matt Rogers]

No, but those jobs are really fucking huge.

[Kristen Wiig]

Cause it was, like, improvising, you know, it was like.

[Matt Rogers]

It was a paying comedy.

[Kristen Wiig]

It was a paying job for the first time in my life.

[Matt Rogers]

Because you wouldn't count the walking around doing improv at Universal Studios. Like, the first.

[Bowen Yang]

I would count it.

[Matt Rogers]

You did one day.

[Kristen Wiig]

It was the first time, like, it was filmed.

[Bowen Yang]

Yeah.

[Kristen Wiig]

You know, like, you know.

[Matt Rogers]

Yes.

[Kristen Wiig]

Yes.

[Bowen Yang]

This was a TV breakthrough.

[Matt Rogers]

Yes.

[Kristen Wiig]

That was live.

[Bowen Yang]

That was live performance.

[Matt Rogers]

Because I. I agree with you. Like, I. I totally understand you not wanting to do that today because I watched Jury dude. And it was like, the first of all because of. Oh, my stars. You staying in character. Just give this woman the after award now. Truly, already. And I watched Jury Duty, and I was like, I don't know how. Especially James Marsden. Like, I don't know how any of these people are, like, pulling this off. They are incredible. Edie Modica.

[Bowen Yang]

Oh, alleged.

[Matt Rogers]

Love you.

[Kristen Wiig]

No judgment. Like, it's. I just, for me, couldn't handle. I'm too sensitive.

[Matt Rogers]

My nervous system couldn't handle it.

[Kristen Wiig]

I can't. My nervous system.

[Bowen Yang]

Yeah.

[Matt Rogers]

Yep.

[Kristen Wiig]

Couldn't handle it.

[Bowen Yang]

And also a little bit, like, once you start. I felt this way when I was doing the prank call for Elle magazine. I was, like, really nervous. I was like, oh, God, I don't want to do this. I'm a very empathetic person. I don't want people to be stressed out, and then, like, you start and you're like, oh, no, I'm too good at it. That's the thing. You were good at it. You were Dr. Pat. Oh, my stars. Oh, my stars.

[Matt Rogers]

Oh, my stars. Oh, my stars.

[Bowen Yang]

I'll never forget.

[Kristen Wiig]

Oh, that's so funny.

[Bowen Yang]

And then you got on snl. What was it like a few years after that? Like, can't have been super long after that.

[Kristen Wiig]

Years. My time is really bad.

[Bowen Yang]

I may have been one of the only people that was like, oh, my God, that's Dr. Pat.

[Kristen Wiig]

You were the only person.

[Bowen Yang]

I think Dr. Pat is the new star of Saturday Night Live.

[Matt Rogers]

Oh, my stars are my stars. Was you being something Martinez, Helping to pay for Groundlings classes, or was that not.

[Bowen Yang]

Was that before?

[Kristen Wiig]

Yeah, that. I did not have a job. That was beautiful to get that job. Felt like I was. Yeah, it was like a working. I was making money, and that was, you know, when you're starting out, it was like, a big deal.

[Bowen Yang]

Of course, Anything, any. Anything you can get paid doing that is not a survival job at that point. Feels like an I made it moment.

[Matt Rogers]

Yes.

[Kristen Wiig]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Matt Rogers]

Cause I remember our first paycheck. I mean, I have, like, romantic thoughts of those days.

[Kristen Wiig]

Yes, me too.

[Matt Rogers]

Because it's like, when Matt and I, like, got our first paycheck from Story Pirates, we were like, this is technically our first. Yeah. Up paying, like, comedy.

[Bowen Yang]

And it was 30 bucks.

[Kristen Wiig]

I did it.

[Bowen Yang]

Yeah.

[Kristen Wiig]

Yes. Yeah.

[Bowen Yang]

I had. I had a tour guide job in New York that was. That was like, on a bus, and it was like. It wasn't good money, but I felt like it was all worth it just to even be able to do anything in a way where they were, like, paying me to do that.

[Matt Rogers]

While we're reminiscing, let's ask Kristen the question.

[Bowen Yang]

It's time. Kristen Wiig. What was the culture that made you say culture was for you?

[Kristen Wiig]

Okay. I think. Is it okay if I pick a movie?

[Matt Rogers]

Yes.

[Bowen Yang]

It's so more than okay.

[Kristen Wiig]

Well, I have two. A combination of Annie and Grease.

[Bowen Yang]

Oh.

[Kristen Wiig]

Because I think Annie for me was like, oh, I want to do that.

[Matt Rogers]

Yes.

[Kristen Wiig]

Why didn't I get to audition for this even though I've never acted in my life?

[Bowen Yang]

It's too late.

[Kristen Wiig]

It's too late.

[Bowen Yang]

I'll never be Annie.

[Kristen Wiig]

Adult Annie. I could have pitched that.

[Matt Rogers]

I think. Yes. I was just gonna say.

[Kristen Wiig]

And then Grease, for me, I have a Love for Olivia Newton John, that will never hurt me.

[Bowen Yang]

How could you not?

[Kristen Wiig]

There was something about the high school aspect of it, what high school could be. John Travolta, so handsome. And then her. Obviously, don't just change your identity for a man.

[Matt Rogers]

Totally.

[Kristen Wiig]

That's not really the lesson. But there was something about her becoming this sexual thing and not giving a shit that I was like. I just loved. That was the ending of that movie, if that makes sense. And I love musicals. I love when everyone's getting up and singing together and dancing and, like, it just makes me so happy. And I imagine what it's like on the set with everyone, like, rehearsing. And even SNL when we would do, like, dance stuff. Those rehearsals. Like, that is. I live for that stuff. I love that stuff.

[Bowen Yang]

Yeah.

[Kristen Wiig]

I don't know if this is a good answer or not, but such a good answer is. I remember that Annie and Grease, both musicals, both stories about, you know, people wanting something more and singing about it. There was just something about that that I was like. I don't know. I just. I realized how much entertainment could, like, affect me. And I think that's for sure. Even though I didn't want to look at it. That was the seed that was planted, was like, I want to do this.

[Bowen Yang]

Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.

[Matt Rogers]

Because there's stories about these women and girls who want to be part of something that they didn't realize was available to them. Yeah.

[Kristen Wiig]

And they want love.

[Matt Rogers]

And they want love.

[Kristen Wiig]

I don't know. I just. And don't we all.

[Matt Rogers]

And don't we all.

[Bowen Yang]

Don't we all.

[Matt Rogers]

I'm gonna bring him into this. Isn't Lorneo kind of like a Daddy Warbucks?

[Kristen Wiig]

100%. Yes.

[Matt Rogers]

And we're all little orphans.

[Kristen Wiig]

Yes. Have you said that before?

[Bowen Yang]

No, but I.

[Matt Rogers]

Let's put that out there.

[Bowen Yang]

Have you said that to him? Cause I'm sure he would really like to hear it. Lorneo, you're kind of like a Daddy Warback. You're like Daddy Warback. Well, I don't know about that.

[Matt Rogers]

Well, I don't know about Daddy Warback.

[Kristen Wiig]

I mean, you do feel like a bunch of kids that live together when you're on that show.

[Matt Rogers]

For sure. Totally. And it is like a. Let's go to the movies.

[Kristen Wiig]

Let's put on a show.

[Matt Rogers]

Let's put on a show.

[Kristen Wiig]

Yeah, I just was.

[Matt Rogers]

Let's go to the movies. Not in the stage version of Annie. That was just in, like, the 80s.

[Bowen Yang]

Oh, God. I don't know?

[Kristen Wiig]

I think so. I know there were songs that weren't.

[Matt Rogers]

In the original show. It's been a long time since I've seen. When was the last time you saw Annie?

[Bowen Yang]

Ooh.

[Kristen Wiig]

I've seen, like, clips of it recently.

[Matt Rogers]

It's been a minute for me, but.

[Kristen Wiig]

I haven't watched it from the very, very beginning.

[Bowen Yang]

You must truly trip being around Carol Burnett so much.

[Kristen Wiig]

By the way, her performance in that.

[Bowen Yang]

Oh, Oscar worthy.

[Kristen Wiig]

It's about what she read and then what she did. And knowing her now, like, I. I mean, you got to.

[Bowen Yang]

I got exactly, probably two minutes with her and we took a picture. Because I was interviewed as her and Abe was like. I just. Abe was like, who's the creator of the show? Was like, she is going to get a kick out of this. She's like. And I remember he was like, can you stay in costume for, like, a couple hours while she gets here? And I was just like, I would do anything for her. And so it was like, there was, like, the mustache and all the stuff I had the prosthetic Y stuff underneath her whole costume. But I was like, I will sit here for three days waiting for her to come because she is beyond a.

[Kristen Wiig]

Queen and lovely and looks right in your eyes. Hold your hand.

[Bowen Yang]

Just so great. And so I was thinking, like, what you're saying is so true. She's an inventor.

[Matt Rogers]

Yes.

[Bowen Yang]

Like, it goes beyond contributions. It is why we are able to contribute because of, you know, people like her.

[Kristen Wiig]

Yeah, I agree. And as a woman, the first show, it's like her.

[Bowen Yang]

It's Cher who just. I'm just saying, you know what I mean?

[Matt Rogers]

They invented, like, the stand and deliver look. Amazing. In a fucking Bob Mackie dress.

[Kristen Wiig]

Like, do it your way.

[Matt Rogers]

Do it your way.

[Kristen Wiig]

Yeah.

[Bowen Yang]

Ugh.

[Matt Rogers]

Carol, I can't believe it.

[Kristen Wiig]

I know. I just love her. I love her so much.

[Bowen Yang]

She's. And, you know, just like, the whole, like, idea that, you know, she's become, like, obviously the antagonist of the show and, like, gets to do this.

[Kristen Wiig]

She's so hilarious. She's like, the nicest person in the world. And she plays someone so awful.

[Bowen Yang]

You can tell. Do you believe in that, though? It's like, I think it was Tina actually who said, like, when she was trying to cast Regina George, she was like, we need to find the nicest person in the world to come in and do this, because it is truly kind people that understand and are able to walk away from and go in and out and see people and cruelty from different, interesting dimensions, because it's not something they're embodying. It's something they're exploring.

[Kristen Wiig]

Oh, wise woman.

[Matt Rogers]

Wise woman. Always Ms. T. Faye.

[Bowen Yang]

Too wise. Too wise.

[Matt Rogers]

And then on the Grease thing, it's like Sandra Dee turning into Sandy is like. That is the fantasy for every. Not just girls, but everybody. Especially for gay guys. It's like, you watch Grease, and I'm like, yeah, Dani, great. But I'm like, it's Sandra and it's Rizzo, but it's like. It's like.

[Bowen Yang]

It's just. I was gonna say, let's put some respect on Stockard's name.

[Matt Rogers]

We gotta. We'll be left Stockard every time. But just. That's such a fucking good ensemble. And so is Annie, obviously. But, like, I totally get it, man. Like, I'm just watching Grease for the first time. Yeah. I felt.

[Bowen Yang]

Yeah. I think it's one of those things, like, when it's on, do you find, you know, every line of dialogue 100%, and it's crazy.

[Kristen Wiig]

Kind of like sexy.

[Matt Rogers]

Sexy.

[Kristen Wiig]

You know, when Rizzo and Kinicki are doing their thing.

[Bowen Yang]

Kicky from Kinicki. Yeah.

[Matt Rogers]

Hot. And heave.

[Kristen Wiig]

Hot in heave.

[Matt Rogers]

Summer eleven. It's like, wait a minute.

[Bowen Yang]

Like, they're talking about wella, wella, wella. Huh?

[Kristen Wiig]

I mean, Grease Lightning.

[Bowen Yang]

Oh, that's a whole. That's a whole text. Grease Wagon. Grease. Grease Wagon. Grease Lightning. Grease Wagon. Grease Wagon. And they're like, hey, you said Grease Wagon again.

[Kristen Wiig]

It was the original version when they were gonna have Station Wagon. And just.

[Bowen Yang]

It's Grease Wagon. Dang. My high school wouldn't do Grease because it was. So we had a conservative superintendent. Yep, we had a very conservative superintendent.

[Matt Rogers]

So you did a West side Story?

[Bowen Yang]

No, so what we did was we did all these, like, very racially problematic shows. We did the King and I, we did the Wizard. Like, all these things that everyone, even then in, like, 2005, was like, hey, I don't know if Tina, like, this girl I knew can be doing this thing she's doing in, like, this part of the King. And I, like, I just don't know. But absolutely, those were totally above board, without question. And what we could not do was Grease Wagon.

[Kristen Wiig]

Wonder what they're doing now.

[Bowen Yang]

And you know what? I think that superintendent retired, and then suddenly they were doing Grease.

[Kristen Wiig]

And I was, well, damn, that superintendent's doing Greece.

[Matt Rogers]

Whatever he is, wherever he is, I.

[Bowen Yang]

Hope he's doing Greece. Hey, do Grease. It's the new kick rocks.

[Matt Rogers]

Do Grease the streets and do Grease. Loser.

And I can recognize the music in you because what I've loved about. About you always, but especially, like your tenure at snl, it felt like all the female cast members at that time were very musical. And I remember Santa's My Boyfriend and like, that was, I believe you, Amy and Maya. But then, you know, like, Kate was musical, 80s musical. Cecily is very musical.

[Kristen Wiig]

And it just felt Abby, Abby Elliott, Abby Elliot, Casey.

[Bowen Yang]

Casey, you know what I mean? Like, on and on and on and on. But it just felt like a really good musical because it felt like it was all of your genuine interest, like, I would imagine. Obviously, those things don't happen. And you as well, you know what I mean? Like, you're always bringing music to the show and you're so capable of doing it. But I, as a fan of the show and a fan of musical comedy, was always so happy that people that loved music and really wanted to perform in that way were on the show because it gives it a whole other dimension, I think.

[Matt Rogers]

Totally. You know who oftentimes, like, bring those pieces together were these straight boy kings, Colin Jost and John Molini. Like, they would just like. Cause they like musicals too, luckily. And then they just, like, they like, they're like, okay. And, you know, Kristen can do this. And like, for me, they'd be like, can you sing Suddenly Seymour? And I was like, sure. And like, it's just. They just know how to, like, position everybody in that way.

[Kristen Wiig]

Yeah, I agree.

[Matt Rogers]

But I agree about it.

[Kristen Wiig]

I used to have that in the show. Like, to have that one little special thing even watching now it's like, oh, I bet they rehearsed this and did.

[Bowen Yang]

Their little dancing Taryn too. And Vanessa. Like, everyone was always committing to whatever it is they were being. That was just like when Seth was on, we said this, but that was such a peak cast. I tell everyone, I believe I told you this, but I was at the episode which was Anne Hathaway and the Killers. This was the very first. I was there in the audience, and it was the very first time you ever did the Lawrence Welk show. And I remember at the end, the Killers did, like, an encore.

[Kristen Wiig]

Oh, yeah.

[Bowen Yang]

And Seth said it was the only time that the studio audience stood up and gave a standing ovation and I was in the audience. And I remember that felt like such a. I don't think I've ever felt the way that I felt watching you do Lawrence Welk.

[Matt Rogers]

Oh, my gosh.

[Bowen Yang]

No, truly. I mean, I think it altered the course of my life. And so many people watching that didn't have to be in the room in the vicinity. But, like, that was a very special cast, and that was a very special sketch and series of sketches and a moment in culture, because it was 2008 at the time as well.

[Matt Rogers]

Like, and other fun details. That you were sitting next to Emma Stone.

[Kristen Wiig]

Yeah, that is crazy wild.

[Bowen Yang]

But, like, what do you remember about that time?

[Kristen Wiig]

Honestly, like, career wise, like, best years of my life.

[Bowen Yang]

Yeah.

[Kristen Wiig]

Hands down. Hands down. Because, you know, you're. It's like you. You move in with these people, and then seven years later, you. You pack up your room and then you have to move somewhere else. But you do feel like you are living with them. The time in between sketches, like, there'd be a day you'd have to rehearse at 9am and you'd look at the rundown and you don't have to rehearse again until, like, four, and you're secretly, like. And then you look and see who else is off, and you all go hang out and you just like, oh, it was just. It was the best time. Because I think, too, feeling okay to fail was something that I had to. That's hard to do. I feel that way now in my life, to be totally honest. But having that read through, writing something, and you're like, this. No one's gonna laugh at this. This is gonna be totally silent. But it's okay, because you're looking around the room at Hater and, like, all of these people, and everyone's got things that work, everyone's got things that don't. And you realize, like, oh, that's just part of, like, figuring out what. What will get on or what is funny. And to be able to have a space where you can go and not do a good job and feel okay is so rare.

[Matt Rogers]

Oh, My God.

[Kristen Wiig]

Do you know what I mean?

[Matt Rogers]

Of course.

[Kristen Wiig]

Yeah.

[Matt Rogers]

And I kind of embrace the times. It's funnier to sort of. It's more of a bonding experience to fail and bomb at that show.

[Kristen Wiig]

100%. Yes.

[Matt Rogers]

Cause Celeste and I will. And Sudie and I will just, like, laugh. Oh, my God. Remember that fucking sketch and how it was silent?

[Kristen Wiig]

Yeah.

[Matt Rogers]

Like there's something. There's like a crucible you walk through in that moment. But, like, how often would you feel like you were reading something before read through and, like, no one's gonna laugh at this.

[Kristen Wiig]

Cause I love every time.

[Matt Rogers]

Really?

[Kristen Wiig]

Oh, my God. I would never read something and be like, this is gonna kill.

[Matt Rogers]

Sure, sure.

[Kristen Wiig]

Cause you never know.

[Matt Rogers]

You never know.

[Kristen Wiig]

Because I think that's the other thing you learn. You can write something and be like, I think this has a shot. And it's.

[Matt Rogers]

It's. No.

[Kristen Wiig]

And then there's the one where you try to pull it, and they're like, sorry, it's already in the pack. And it's on the show.

[Matt Rogers]

And it's on the show.

[Kristen Wiig]

It's the one that you're doing. You have. I have no gauge. I have no. Yeah.

[Matt Rogers]

It's completely unpredictable because it can go through whatever. It can hit any station and land and be at the terminus of any path where it's like. It does great at read through, it does terrible at blocking, it does great at dress, it does poorly at airports. There's every permutation of that thing happens at various stages. Like, my therapist and I talk about this. It's like, you have so many things. Occasions for validation or rejection and failure. And it teaches you a lot about how the world works.

[Bowen Yang]

I wanna say.

[Kristen Wiig]

Yeah.

[Matt Rogers]

But I'm so surprised at this because I feel like you and Amy were talking about this on her pod, where it's like. And what. It is true. And I think you know this, and I hope you own this. It's like you were. I think you were the. You were the cast member to come in fully formed, fully realized, with the point of view already.

[Kristen Wiig]

I mean, I don't feel that way.

[Matt Rogers]

That's interesting.

[Kristen Wiig]

Well, only because I learned so much. And I remember, because I auditioned twice.

[Matt Rogers]

Yeah.

[Kristen Wiig]

And I remember when they had me come back for the second one, I.

[Matt Rogers]

Was like, what do you mean?

[Kristen Wiig]

I'm like, I did everything.

[Matt Rogers]

Exactly.

[Kristen Wiig]

I did everything.

[Bowen Yang]

Yeah.

[Kristen Wiig]

I literally did every character that I have.

[Bowen Yang]

Yep.

[Kristen Wiig]

And three seasons in, having a, like, breakdown, being like, I've done. I've done every voice. I have. Nothing.

[Matt Rogers]

Have you talked about this. The three season in thing like this.

[Kristen Wiig]

No to.

[Matt Rogers]

You didn't. Well, I've certainly had that thing. I think my second season, I was like, I did everything for my audition.

[Kristen Wiig]

Yeah, that's how you feel. And then that's that hump you get over with. Also the help of other people being like, can you play? Blah, blah, blah. And you're like, well, we'll see. And then you end up trying or doing it. It doesn't always work, but. And then you just, like, find new things. And then you find other ways to. To find characters. Like, it became not just vocal. It became, like, physical. Like, I remember. I think it was. I was in Paul Lepel's office or James. I can't remember. But the, like, the don't make me sing. That came from, like, just standing. Like, let's just do something that someone stands like this. Cause I was like, I'm out of. Like, I'm out of things.

[Matt Rogers]

You're out of things to do or.

[Kristen Wiig]

You know what I'm saying?

[Matt Rogers]

But you know what blows my mind. And I don't think I've talked about this, and I don't even think I've brought this up to you, but I was just so curious about the Rebecca LaRue.

[Bowen Yang]

I was gonna say thing.

[Matt Rogers]

The flirting expert, which was your last season. I think one of your last update features. I was like, how did this play a dress? And I will say I watched back. Cause we have the dress footage from every single episode of SNL on the server.

[Bowen Yang]

The database blows my mind.

[Matt Rogers]

I will miss. That's the thing I will miss the most. Oh, yeah, because the server. Cause it just. It's comedy history. It's like the script of, like, Mark Howbell. Like, Ferrell writing that on his own. Like, you see, I'm like, oh, my God. There's just so much to. It's like a library. It's like Belle and the Library in Beauty and the beast. But Rebecca LaRue, I would say at dress, I was shocked. And I'm just saying this. I don't think it really played.

[Kristen Wiig]

Oh.

[Matt Rogers]

And then on air, you just. I don't know what you guys figured.

[Kristen Wiig]

It's probably because it didn't play. And I was like, I'm gonna go for it.

[Matt Rogers]

But you figured it out within, what, like. Like 45 minutes to an hour? That's incredible.

[Kristen Wiig]

Oh, yeah. I don't remember that.

[Matt Rogers]

Okay.

[Bowen Yang]

It's my top three characters that you've done the entire show. Yeah.

[Kristen Wiig]

Oh, wow.

[Bowen Yang]

Flirting expert Rebecca Larue. Because Of. Cause this is. I think, one of the keys to a great update piece for me as a viewer is how an element of it is how you guys interact with whoever the Weekend Update anchor is. And the way that Rebecca LaRue and Seth even said this on his episode of our show was like, an indictment of the girls he was dating at the time was so funny because you could tell there was, like, a friendly, like, energy there that felt personal. That was weirdly parasocial then for us as an audience that watches you guys week in and week out, because you could tell that was a little bit true.

[Kristen Wiig]

Yes.

[Bowen Yang]

In the. In the way he was flustered.

[Kristen Wiig]

That's so funny. Oh, my God.

[Matt Rogers]

But it's just. I was just, like, noting the difference. And I hope you don't mind me saying, like, the feeling. Watching dress was like, why are they laughing at this?

[Kristen Wiig]

I have no. I have no memory.

[Matt Rogers]

Right. Oh, and I also love what you tried to impart on me. And I did not take to heart, which was like, don't read the reviews and the comments and the feedback. Because that is the thing that I think took me a long time to get over and was like, you just have to remember it as your own experience.

[Kristen Wiig]

And the ones that are bad go through a certain synapse. They print out, and they stay in a file, and you can access it at any point, and you can see every word.

[Matt Rogers]

Yep.

[Kristen Wiig]

And the good ones go. Go away. And I was. I mean, I'm aging myself. Did we have the Internet when I was. But, like, did we. We kind of did, but, like, there wasn't.

[Matt Rogers]

There'd be, like, two reviews.

[Kristen Wiig]

Yeah. But wait, did we.

[Matt Rogers]

Yes, yes, definitely.

[Bowen Yang]

Certainly. Certainly.

[Kristen Wiig]

I was on in 1964. I mean, I know we had the Internet, but it wasn't so much like blogging and social media.

[Bowen Yang]

Yeah.

[Kristen Wiig]

I guess maybe that's what I'm saying. I mean, of course we had, like, computers, but did we have the Internet? Please.

[Bowen Yang]

Did we have the Internet?

[Kristen Wiig]

I just. And I never watched the show when I was on. That's incredible, because I didn't want to, like, see what I looked at there. Most of the things I've done, I've never seen.

[Bowen Yang]

Really? Bridesmaids. Bridesmaids.

[Kristen Wiig]

I've seen Bridesmaids.

[Bowen Yang]

Yeah.

[Kristen Wiig]

Because I. I just mean, like, on snl.

[Matt Rogers]

Yeah, yeah.

[Bowen Yang]

Oh, yeah, that stuff.

[Kristen Wiig]

But I couldn't watch it the next day or. Or watch it in between for. I couldn't. I couldn't do that.

[Matt Rogers]

That's holding something very sacred in terms of, like, the the theater aspect of it.

[Kristen Wiig]

Yes.

[Bowen Yang]

Yeah, yeah, that's.

[Matt Rogers]

That's cool.

[Kristen Wiig]

You're doing a live show in front of an audience. They're the ones, you know. Yes. Millions of people are watching.

[Matt Rogers]

Yes, yes, yes.

[Kristen Wiig]

But the energy when you're there, when you're on stage, your first thought isn't, this is on tv.

[Bowen Yang]

Yeah.

[Kristen Wiig]

You're like, oh, I can see Jenna. I can see the crowd. I can see the people in their costumes waiting to come in. It feels very. It is. It's like theater.

[Matt Rogers]

It's like theater. And the thing that got me. And I've talked about this with Matt last week in my exit interview, it's like, the thing that destroyed me was just looking out on my last sketch, during my last sketch, and seeing basically the whole staff show, and I was like, oh, this. And it had nothing to do with what was gonna maybe be said about it online or what the reviews would be. It was just spatially in the room.

[Bowen Yang]

That's what.

[Matt Rogers]

It totally healed all of these wounds from the past seven years where I would, like, really care about what people thought. And when I realized what I would tell. What I would tell the new cast on my way out, what I told them was. Cause they would approach me and they were like, how do you. This is really weird. Like, how do you deal with this? And I was like, there's three audiences who are watching. It's the people in the room and kind of the people at home. It's the Internet, which is this, like, voice that just wants to. Is incentivized to say something like that takes it down or devalues it. And then there's the people who make decisions, have the power to make decisions for you, who can help you materially find interesting things or whatever. And only two of those audiences matter. Like, the Internet. One doesn't really matter, because if you.

[Kristen Wiig]

Don'T look, in some ways, it just doesn't exist.

[Bowen Yang]

Right, Exactly.

[Matt Rogers]

I agree.

[Bowen Yang]

Yeah. Which is. Yeah. I remember when we were talking on set at Palm Royale, you were like. You said to me, like, I knew I would love Bowen because I feel like we like the same stuff. And what did you mean by that? And what do you guys think you have in common? Because I think it meant beyond comedy.

[Kristen Wiig]

Well, a sense of humor, for sure, but also just. Just you and I interacting in between sketches.

[Matt Rogers]

Yes.

[Kristen Wiig]

I feel like we didn't even have to, like, say much, and we were just laughing, and I just felt a. It's kind of even hard to describe. It's like when you probably when you guys met. Right. It's like you just feel like, oh.

[Bowen Yang]

Hey, hey, there's nonverbal stuff.

[Kristen Wiig]

And also being on that show, you do feel like you're already in a little like, like army together.

[Matt Rogers]

Yeah. You know, so this is my thing. This is maybe what you meant. This is what it means to me. Which was the first time you came back was Covid Christmas, December 2020.

[Kristen Wiig]

Oh, God.

[Matt Rogers]

And it was. And Dua Lipa was the musical guest.

[Bowen Yang]

Marjorie, this was classic. People don't talk about this one as much as they should.

[Matt Rogers]

I'm not even talking about the sketch. I'm talking about Kristen and I watching Dua Lipa sing on stage and us going, oh my God, that's Dua Lipa.

[Bowen Yang]

Yeah. And we were like full on.

[Matt Rogers]

And my other thought was like, we're like the only people in the world watching live music right now.

[Bowen Yang]

Yeah, yeah. That was levitating, right?

[Matt Rogers]

That was levitating.

[Bowen Yang]

Oh, that hat.

[Matt Rogers]

Don't start now. It was amazing.

[Bowen Yang]

I loved both those performances.

[Kristen Wiig]

I danced my face off watching her every time. I loved it.

[Bowen Yang]

I went to go see her radical optimism tour and it was really great. And I watched this like long. The Swiftologist. I watched like this. There's this YouTuber who's like doing long form videos about like, you know, like pop music. And he was like, dua Lipa is a category five pop star. This means that she will things move around her. You know what I mean?

[Kristen Wiig]

It was a not nice.

[Bowen Yang]

No, no, no. It was very nice. It was basically saying like, it's like there's certain levels of artist where they don't necessarily have to worry about proving themselves ever. It's just like they can come and sort of like, you know, decide what's going to be the tone based on the moves they make.

[Kristen Wiig]

And I fully agree with that.

[Bowen Yang]

The argument was that gotten to this place where she's always going to be reliably Dua Lipa because she's Dua Lipa.

[Matt Rogers]

Yeah, yeah.

[Kristen Wiig]

And she's really good. Same birthday?

[Bowen Yang]

Same birthday. What sign is that?

[Kristen Wiig]

It's a Leo Virgo cusp.

[Bowen Yang]

Leo Virgo cusp.

[Matt Rogers]

Yum yum, yum.

[Bowen Yang]

That's really, really good.

[Kristen Wiig]

Is it?

[Bowen Yang]

What is it?

[Kristen Wiig]

August 22nd.

[Bowen Yang]

22Nd? Yeah. 8, 22. Why do I feel like that's an auspicious day?

[Matt Rogers]

Just feels nicer.

[Kristen Wiig]

Because it's a double. A double dig. I don't know.

[Bowen Yang]

22 is my favorite number and I.

[Kristen Wiig]

What's my favorite number?

[Bowen Yang]

Stop. What about it?

[Kristen Wiig]

Well, it's my birthday. Well, yes, but also I see it. I see it when I need to see it. Like an angel number right now. I needed to see that today.

[Bowen Yang]

Maybe I needed to see it too.

[Kristen Wiig]

Yeah.

[Bowen Yang]

I think I like the. Well, it was my baseball jersey growing up.

[Matt Rogers]

Oh, I didn't know that.

[Bowen Yang]

Yep.

[Matt Rogers]

This is beautiful.

[Kristen Wiig]

See, we're all connected.

[Matt Rogers]

We're all connected.

[Bowen Yang]

And people are like, is that a Taylor Swift tattoo? And I'm like, no, it's not. But when I went to the era tour and she sang 22, I definitely went like this.

[Kristen Wiig]

You for sure did.

[Bowen Yang]

I kind of thought when you said you liked all this, like, cool, all the same stuff, I was like, well, they both like cool music. I feel like you guys are both, like, cool when it comes to music.

[Matt Rogers]

I've fallen off.

[Kristen Wiig]

I've kind of fallen off too.

[Bowen Yang]

Yeah, but I bet even that is cool. You guys like, like, cool bands and stuff.

[Matt Rogers]

No, I'm just listening to, like,'80s Japanese city pop. That's all I listen to now.

[Bowen Yang]

I'm still streaming Espresso.

[Matt Rogers]

It's okay.

[Bowen Yang]

Think about me every night.

[Kristen Wiig]

Doesn't get old.

[Bowen Yang]

I feel like I know they Famous did an Espresso sketch, but I feel like if Espresso is on, when you're on snl, you do something with espresso.

[Matt Rogers]

What do you mean?

[Bowen Yang]

I feel like you do a character that dances to Espresso or whatever.

[Kristen Wiig]

Okay, talking.

[Bowen Yang]

I'm inspired by you. And that's why I literally came up with the Robin the Riddler's Assistant thing. I was like, that was so fun. We are inspired by you, and we'd like to be your writers.

[Kristen Wiig]

Oh, my God.

[Matt Rogers]

That's the nice thing about it, because when we pitched Rob. Cause we had to get on Zoom with you and pitch this idea.

[Bowen Yang]

And we were, like, pitching a character to Kristen Wiig.

[Matt Rogers]

We were like, we're pitching a character to Kristen Wiig. And there's a chance she is like, what the fuck are you guys talking about?

[Bowen Yang]

Which would have been really hard. That would have been really hard.

[Matt Rogers]

But you immediately snapped in and you were like, oh, my God, Robin. I get it.

[Bowen Yang]

It's funny. I think this is what it is. Yes. Okay, great. Yes. We were like, yes.

[Matt Rogers]

And then it was like we were working on this with you.

[Bowen Yang]

Oh, my God.

[Matt Rogers]

And then another thing that I will never forget. Remember the four versions of the presenter copy we had for the Emmys that one year? Because we weren't sure if Maya was gonna make it because she was sick. Seth was maybe not gonna Be able to do it because she, like, was flying.

[Bowen Yang]

Flying.

[Kristen Wiig]

Wait, was. You said Maya and it was me.

[Matt Rogers]

It was. No, it was just me. I can't believe this. It was me, you, Seth and Maya presenting. Walking up. Doing a bit about Lauren.

[Kristen Wiig]

Yes.

[Matt Rogers]

Winning too many Emmys or something.

[Kristen Wiig]

Yes, yes.

[Matt Rogers]

But you and I, Kristen and I were in that dressing room with our pencils. With our pencils. While Matt Bomer was sitting on the other corner, like, wanting to say hi to us. And we're like, we're in the middle of something.

[Bowen Yang]

Matt. Just one second.

[Kristen Wiig]

I'm sure we said hello.

[Matt Rogers]

We said hello. We weren't rude.

[Bowen Yang]

He's the nicest. He's the nicest.

[Matt Rogers]

No, we all hugged. We said hi, but you and I were, like, locked up.

[Kristen Wiig]

We gotta get to. Because guess what? We gotta rewrite this.

[Matt Rogers]

We had to rewrite it.

[Kristen Wiig]

Show's in 10.

[Matt Rogers]

Not that we were given, like, bad copy, but the show. No, it was just, like. There was four different ver. Where it was. If Lauren didn't win the Emmy because it was on the category.

[Kristen Wiig]

It was after. If he didn't win. If he did win.

[Bowen Yang]

If my could be there.

[Kristen Wiig]

She wasn't that.

[Matt Rogers]

You know, we had four different versions of that copy ready to go, and you and I had to, like, sit there and, like, rewrite all. I was like, I can't believe I'm doing four versions of presenter copy with Kristen. I was like, this is surreal.

[Kristen Wiig]

It was so fun, though.

[Matt Rogers]

But it was so fun. You're the best. You're our hero.

[Bowen Yang]

I just. And I feel like on Palm Royale, too, you're so, like. It was just.

[Kristen Wiig]

Thanks for bringing it back. Finale, I believe. Just.

[Bowen Yang]

I was just like, what? I was like, the coolest part of it was just, like, being on set and seeing you, like, try to figure out or finesse certain things. It's just. It's just really cool and to be.

[Matt Rogers]

A part of that.

[Kristen Wiig]

You were incredible. And I got so many texts about how funny you were and great. And Abe, obviously just loves you. I had so much fun working with you. And even in that scene with Kai in the bedroom, and you and I just kind of, like, running around and doing our own thing.

[Bowen Yang]

I think that was my favorite. Favorite. My favorite day was us behind the ledge talking. And I don't know, there were. There were several favorites doing the, like.

[Kristen Wiig]

Come to the tub. That was.

[Bowen Yang]

Oh, that was great.

[Kristen Wiig]

That was all Matt.

[Matt Rogers]

He just started doing it.

[Kristen Wiig]

He just started going, come to the tub. And everyone else.

[Bowen Yang]

It's a great. It's a great atmosphere. And also it's like, it feels like a really fun, playful atmosphere where you could come up with something like that and you would be like entrusted as a member of the group to like pitch something like that. But it's also kind of. I had never experienced that energy with something that had that much budget. I was like, wow. Like, this is like. Because we were talking earlier about being on set, like, that's a big old show. And to still have that playful energy, I think is a testament to you and to Abe and to all the cast and all the departments that provide the malleability for something like that. Because that wasn't in the script at all. And then it became the whole entry point into Are Meet Cute, which was a blast.

[Matt Rogers]

It's a period comedy with just a sense of fun and kitschiness and just. It's so delicious. It's like, we don't. It's a unicorn. It's a rare thing and I'm so happy it exists. I can't believe you guys are both in it, doing a two hander episode all the way through. I'm telling you, I was watching it and I was like, this is heaven. These two people that I love. Anyway, Palm Royale. It's out. Let's move on to. I don't think so. Honey.

[Bowen Yang]

Palm Royale is out.

[Matt Rogers]

It's out. No, I'm saying Palm Royale. I'm just, I'm just. I'm so sorry. I was being cursed. It's. By the time this airs, the whole.

[Bowen Yang]

Season, it's officially all out now, right?

[Kristen Wiig]

I don't know what day it is.

[Matt Rogers]

Doesn't matter.

[Bowen Yang]

It's out. Yes, it's out.

Thumbs up. Got thumbs up.

[Kristen Wiig]

I told you, I don't know what's going on.

Better.

[Bowen Yang]

But not just any popcorn. Skinny Pop Popcorn. Skinny Pop works because it keeps things simple.

Deliciously popped, perfectly salted skinny pop. Popular for a reason. Okay, so it's. I don't think so, honey.

[Matt Rogers]

Okay, this is a big.

[Bowen Yang]

Because it's a moment where we sort of say our takes, and sometimes those takes include a little bit of a take down. So this is a 60 second segment where we sort of pop off about something that's bothering us in culture. And I'm gonna talk about the way I engage. Here we go.

[Matt Rogers]

Oh, my gosh.

[Bowen Yang]

Yeah.

[Matt Rogers]

This is exciting. This is Matt Rogers. I don't think so, honey's time starts now.

[Bowen Yang]

I don't think so, honey. My fat thumbs. Because I can't send a text without it indenting wildly. And I do think it's because they're. Because I don't think so, honey. That it's. That I have to utilize my fingers differently. I think they're just a little chunker. No. And I'm telling you, like, it's impossible for me on the first try to get a text right. Always. It always looks like a haiku when I text. Am I wrong or am I wrong? It'll be on like four different lines.

[Matt Rogers]

You're wrong.

[Bowen Yang]

So I don't think so, honey.

[Matt Rogers]

30 seconds.

[Bowen Yang]

Thumbs. Because sometimes you need to use your thumbs to, you know, engage, comment, address. And I got my chunkers in the way and I'm trying to get things done here. And then I think, you know what? Maybe your thumbs are trying to tell you something.

[Matt Rogers]

15 seconds.

[Bowen Yang]

Put the phone down. Oh, don't even pick up the phone. Your thumbs. It's evolution. It's actually saying you were evolving out. Five seconds of the discourse. Put the phone down. My thumbs are getting bigger and bigger. I think all of our brains are getting smaller and smaller.

[Matt Rogers]

That's true.

[Bowen Yang]

And I think that is a correlation. I don't think so, honey. That we need that we ignore this. If your thumbs are too fat to tell type, maybe it's because your body is doing you a favor by evolving out of engagement.

[Matt Rogers]

That's one minute. If your thumbs are too fat, natural selection will be good to you. That's what you're saying.

[Bowen Yang]

If you can see them from the front, wait till you see them from the back. That is a line about thumbs.

[Matt Rogers]

I don't want you to talk badly about your thumbs. I think that has.

[Bowen Yang]

If anyone's going to do that, by.

[Kristen Wiig]

The way, your thumbs are on the thinner side.

[Bowen Yang]

You think so?

[Kristen Wiig]

But here's the, the thing. If you.

[Matt Rogers]

The same exact way.

[Kristen Wiig]

I believe you can make your text bigger. You know how you can make your text bigger? I think. Doesn't the keyboard get bigger?

[Matt Rogers]

No, it can't possibly. There's only limited real. But you. It's, it's, it's angle.

[Bowen Yang]

I'm looking at our thumbs and we have the same size thumb.

[Kristen Wiig]

Guys. I don't think my thumb.

[Bowen Yang]

When I was 13, I thought that I was gay.

[Matt Rogers]

Match up to. No, you have a beautiful, beautiful thumb. No, we're. We're way bigger.

[Bowen Yang]

Three beautiful thumbs. But do you find. Do you find that this is a problem you face as well?

[Kristen Wiig]

Do you want to know something?

[Bowen Yang]

What?

[Kristen Wiig]

Sometimes I text with these fingers.

[Matt Rogers]

Stop it. Now that's chic. It's.

[Kristen Wiig]

I saw a woman do it and I said, I'm gonna start doing.

[Bowen Yang]

I want to be like Mike.

[Matt Rogers]

And that woman was my friend Jessica.

[Kristen Wiig]

She holds her phone like this and she goes like this.

[Matt Rogers]

That's nice. Like an instrument.

[Bowen Yang]

Is she sending, like, important texts, though? Oh, yeah, she's a boss.

[Kristen Wiig]

Oh, yeah, she's a boss.

[Bowen Yang]

Yeah.

[Kristen Wiig]

I mean, she's not using her thumbs. It's very 2024.

[Bowen Yang]

It's probably 2000 late.

[Matt Rogers]

Jessica. Jessica Simpson.

[Kristen Wiig]

No, not Jessica Simpson.

[Bowen Yang]

You guys haven't hung out in a while.

[Kristen Wiig]

I know how Jessica Simpson texts.

[Bowen Yang]

I bet she texts like this. Hey, Siri, send a text to Ashley Simpson. Hey, sister. Was just wondering how you were doing today. Send.

[Kristen Wiig]

I love the Simpsons.

[Bowen Yang]

And then Ashlee Simpson responds like this. Hey, fuck her. I'm a rebel. Just kidding. This is like more their 2004 Personas that I'm sure they've both grown, changed, evolved or not. And that would be fine because they were perfect already.

[Matt Rogers]

You would have written a killer fanfic about the Simpsons.

[Bowen Yang]

Who says I didn't? Oh, who says I did it under a pseudonym? I. I didn't.

[Matt Rogers]

I have something and I'm.

[Bowen Yang]

I. I hope, I hope, I hope this.

[Matt Rogers]

This enacts change.

[Bowen Yang]

I don't think that you should judge it. Just. Just let it do what it's going to do.

[Kristen Wiig]

Yeah, mine's not going to change.

[Bowen Yang]

This is going out into the. This is going out into the Wild West. If it's going to enact change, that's what it's supposed to do.

[Matt Rogers]

I think it will.

[Bowen Yang]

Just don't be disappointed.

[Matt Rogers]

I think it should. Okay. Thank you.

[Bowen Yang]

This is Bowen Yang's. I don't think so. So, honey, his time starts now.

[Matt Rogers]

I don't think so, honey. The word squeegee Cause the thing that it is should not be called that. It should be called a glass scraper, a water shovel, a wipe downer.

[Bowen Yang]

Wipe downer.

[Matt Rogers]

Not a.

[Bowen Yang]

Who came up with squeegee? Who pointed at that?

[Matt Rogers]

Because the linguistic thing is the concept should match the name. Right.

[Bowen Yang]

Where there's a distance, there squeegee should.

[Matt Rogers]

Be a dog toy, a children's game.

[Bowen Yang]

My name.

[Matt Rogers]

Stress ball. Matt's name.

[Bowen Yang]

Yeah.

[Matt Rogers]

A little pet name for something. Your loved one.

[Bowen Yang]

Oh, hey, squeegee.

[Matt Rogers]

Hey, squeegee. Instead, it's the most un cute thing in the world, which is 15 seconds. A wide, rubbery thing to, like, wipe down your windshields or your showers.

[Bowen Yang]

I don't understand five seconds.

[Matt Rogers]

I think we really should decouple squeegee the word from squeegee the thing. And. And just take a new pass at those names.

[Bowen Yang]

That's one minute.

[Matt Rogers]

Maybe we name everything.

[Bowen Yang]

I love the word squeegee, but I do wonder if it should be something else. Like, it feels like it should be what a sponge is called. Yeah, a sponge should be a squeegee. Yes. This is a squeegee motion. That's a squeegee motion.

[Kristen Wiig]

Yeah, it's a verb. Like, that's what you do to a sponge.

[Bowen Yang]

You squeeze.

[Kristen Wiig]

That sounds.

[Bowen Yang]

Well, did you squeegee it out? Because it's still the sponge.

[Kristen Wiig]

Wet. Give it a squeegee.

[Bowen Yang]

Give it a squeegee.

[Kristen Wiig]

Oh, you want me to do it?

[Bowen Yang]

See, this is very James Anderson. Hey, could you give a little squeegee instead of squeegee?

[Kristen Wiig]

My name's Janelle Squeegel.

[Bowen Yang]

Squeece.

[Matt Rogers]

No. One of his final names that never saw the light of day during his final season was Yolanda Releasings.

[Bowen Yang]

Yolanda Releasing. That's like beginning. That's like Miss Beginnings. Chang.

[Matt Rogers]

Yolanda releasing.

[Bowen Yang]

Yolanda the Brooke with the s. Releasing.

[Matt Rogers]

Yeah, the gerund releasings.

[Bowen Yang]

Like, the noun. It's a noun.

[Matt Rogers]

Releasing is a noun. Like, that's so weird.

[Bowen Yang]

Anyway, I do think, like, also in the James Anderson canon is something like Squeegee St. Regis.

[Matt Rogers]

Squeegee St. Regis.

[Bowen Yang]

You know what I mean? Like, that's like, something that he would float around.

[Matt Rogers]

Of course.

[Bowen Yang]

Squeegee Adams.

[Matt Rogers]

What a talent.

[Bowen Yang]

With, like, 3Ds.

[Matt Rogers]

Are you ready?

[Kristen Wiig]

Yes. Okay, so I just start by saying, I don't think so, honey.

[Bowen Yang]

We're gonna say. Okay, we're gonna say time starts now. Okay, hold on.

[Kristen Wiig]

I don't think so.

[Matt Rogers]

Oh, hold on, hold on, hold on.

[Bowen Yang]

Oh, okay.

[Matt Rogers]

This is Kristen Wiig's. I don't think so, honey. And her time starts now.

[Kristen Wiig]

I don't think so, honey. I need snack companies, preferably chips and popcorn, to stop creating flavors. Yeah, I. Back in the day, you wanted to get a popcorn. You get a plain, you get a cheese, you get a caramel. Now you've got the truffles, you've got the herbs. It's too much confusion. I get grocery store confusion. It's aisles and aisles. There's chips, there's salsa, syrup, apples. There's too many. But here's what I'm saying. Where are they going if people don't buy them, where are they going? Are they going into a landfill? Oh, and there's too much. There's too many canned drinks.

[Matt Rogers]

Keep naming them.

[Kristen Wiig]

There's too many canned drinks. Too many sparkling things with flavors and probiotics. There's protein, everyone.

[Bowen Yang]

Oh, forget it.

[Kristen Wiig]

There's protein in your popcorn. There's too many flavors. Don't stop me. The aisles are too long. It's a whole. It's an aisle on one side, an aisle on the other with cracker flavors, chip flavors, pretzel flavors. There's too many flavors. Sweets and salties and savories. Stop. Because.

[Bowen Yang]

Because I don't think so, honey.

[Kristen Wiig]

Because I don't think so, honey.

[Bowen Yang]

And that's what they. Okay, I'll tell you where they go.

[Kristen Wiig]

Tell me, because there's two.

[Bowen Yang]

I agree with you 1000% because you're not a part of the community that engages in this. And I'm telling you, there is one. Our friend Greta hosts a party every year the night before Thanksgiving, which is called chipsgiving. It is a timeline when new flavors. Everyone at the party that is invited brings like a artisanal, Some sort of bespoke flavor of chip. And everyone comes and they present the chip that they brought. And they said, the reason I've chosen this chip is this reason. Everyone tries the chip. Now, there are sometimes as many as like 35 people at this party, which means you're eating a lot of potato chips. And I have heard the next. The people are more hungover than after any New Year's Eve, after any Christmas Eve, after any Fourth of July, because of the amount of salt, oil and salt.

[Kristen Wiig]

So make. Make that a holiday. Make the chip company.

[Bowen Yang]

Unofficially, it is.

[Kristen Wiig]

Wait. Wait till Thanksgiving. Wait till you see our new flavors, and then make it like a thing a chips giving so we don't have to, you know. And then you like a flavor and then you go to. It's like, oh, they don't make that anymore.

[Bowen Yang]

Then there's a purpose to it. Is what is what you need.

[Matt Rogers]

It's gone.

[Kristen Wiig]

Oh. Because now they've introduced, like, hot, hot, hot. Sriracha macaroni chip.

[Bowen Yang]

It's like cookie dough. Fiery hot. I'm telling you, you would not believe the kinds of chips. And it's like. It gives me anxiety now to know I have not been to the party to stop. Well, you could just lean in. We'll get you invited to the party.

[Kristen Wiig]

I'm just nervous we're snacking too much. As a country.

[Matt Rogers]

I'm gonna bring something else to the table.

[Bowen Yang]

Yeah.

[Matt Rogers]

Too many beverage flavors.

[Kristen Wiig]

That's what I'm saying. Yeah.

[Matt Rogers]

You would include beverage flavors?

[Kristen Wiig]

Well, no. In the can. When I was saying the can.

[Matt Rogers]

Oh, the can. I see.

[Kristen Wiig]

It's like beverage flavors. Correct.

[Matt Rogers]

What is salsa syrup?

[Kristen Wiig]

Oh, I just made that up.

[Matt Rogers]

Oh, okay.

[Kristen Wiig]

I made that up as a flavor of chip.

[Bowen Yang]

Yeah. So maple. Maple salsa, jalapeno.

[Matt Rogers]

That sounds great.

[Bowen Yang]

Maple salsa jalapeno.

[Kristen Wiig]

That's the problem. That sounds good to you in rooms like this and make jokes and then.

[Matt Rogers]

They go, wait, wait, wait a minute.

[Bowen Yang]

And then make chips.

[Kristen Wiig]

Waffle, still pickle chip.

[Bowen Yang]

No, you're not.

[Kristen Wiig]

You're not on the market tomorrow.

[Bowen Yang]

Yeah, it's guaranteed. There's already every brand of chip has that. But this being said, what is your favorite chip? Like what?

[Kristen Wiig]

I like a Cool Ranch.

[Bowen Yang]

Cool Ranch.

[Kristen Wiig]

Cool Ranch Dorito.

[Matt Rogers]

Sometimes they taste a bit. There's no other way to say this. Tell me, Cummy.

[Bowen Yang]

There was no other way to say it.

[Matt Rogers]

There isn't another way to say it.

[Bowen Yang]

Cum smells like fish. Every cameraman say that. Doesn't cum smell like fish? What does cum smell like?

[Matt Rogers]

I don't know. What smells like Cool Ranch.

[Kristen Wiig]

I don't know who you're.

[Bowen Yang]

I don't know who you're talking to. She said, I don't know who you're asking about what made.

[Kristen Wiig]

Never made that. That connection.

[Bowen Yang]

Well, you're not. Have come up with a new chicken. Yeah.

[Matt Rogers]

That's why they call them salsa syrup.

[Bowen Yang]

Cum. Salsa syrup.

[Matt Rogers]

Come. Salsa syrup. I just don't enjoy it anymore. That's fine.

[Kristen Wiig]

The Cool Ranch, you mean.

[Bowen Yang]

Well, now we're just.

[Matt Rogers]

Or just the Cool Ranch.

[Kristen Wiig]

Yeah.

[Bowen Yang]

Thanks. I like a ridges. I like a traditional ridgies. I like.

[Matt Rogers]

What's ridgies. Ruffles.

[Bowen Yang]

Ruffles. Ridges. Ridges. You know, ridges. The ones that.

[Kristen Wiig]

I'm not a ridger.

[Matt Rogers]

Oh, I Love Ridge.

[Bowen Yang]

And I, I, I also say, like, I like. I. I'll tell you what I really don't like is all the flavors of Oreo. To me, I think Oreo is Oreo. But then even Lady Gaga. Even Lady Gaga, she came out with a chromatical Oreo. And I was like, I don't know. Because now. Now I feel the need to support the legend. But I don't like this Oreo.

[Kristen Wiig]

I like a mint. A mint Oreo.

[Matt Rogers]

I love a mint Oreo. We're. We're about to go to Japan. Wait till you try Matcha Oreo. Ooh, that sounds good.

[Bowen Yang]

Yeah. Have you been to Japan?

[Kristen Wiig]

No, but it's my dream.

[Bowen Yang]

I feel that you and me. But don't you think as someone who's been there, like, I feel like you would love it. The kids.

[Matt Rogers]

The kids would love it.

[Kristen Wiig]

I would love to take them at some point. Maybe when they're a little older.

[Bowen Yang]

Yeah.

[Matt Rogers]

They're already 16, as we said.

[Kristen Wiig]

36.

[Matt Rogers]

That's the proper age to take your kids.

[Bowen Yang]

36.

[Matt Rogers]

You've really. This is a huge conversation starter, though, this chips thing. I'm. No, just. Thank you for bringing that.

[Kristen Wiig]

It's just people are thinking that.

[Bowen Yang]

They're not talking about it.

[Kristen Wiig]

It overwhelms me when I go and I'm like, I just want to get, like, a chip.

[Matt Rogers]

Yeah.

[Bowen Yang]

And then I'm like, you can't even.

[Kristen Wiig]

There's lentil chips.

[Matt Rogers]

There's lentil chips.

[Bowen Yang]

There sure are.

[Kristen Wiig]

They're making lentil chips.

[Matt Rogers]

That's nice.

[Kristen Wiig]

Chips out of beans.

[Matt Rogers]

Protein. Protein in the popcorn.

[Bowen Yang]

People are. People want a healthy option.

[Matt Rogers]

I know, and I know you're saying kind of as a joke, but maybe not that the aisles are too long, but this is my experience. When I go to the grocery store now, I look at the chip aisle, I get so overwhelmed. Me, too. I don't even. My eye doesn't know where to land. I just move on. I don't even buy a chip, and that's robbing me of a chip.

[Kristen Wiig]

It is.

[Bowen Yang]

You know what you should do?

[Matt Rogers]

It is robbing you.

[Bowen Yang]

In the words of your character from Barb and Star, you could just get one of every chip and make a suicide.

[Kristen Wiig]

When you have too many options, you buy less. That is true. I remember hearing this on some sort of. Of NPR something.

[Bowen Yang]

Well, then, you know it's good.

[Kristen Wiig]

They did a study. You're gonna cut this. This is boring. It was like a farmer's market of, like, jams, and when she had three types of Jams, like sold out. When she had like 10 types of jams, people were like, I don't know. And then they walked away.

[Bowen Yang]

Yeah. Also, because when I think that this is true, when there's a lot of options, when there's a lot of options, I do think you in your head question, well, can these all be good and therefore can't be the best? Where am I getting the right one?

[Kristen Wiig]

What if I don't get the right one? One?

[Bowen Yang]

It's like when you go to a restaurant and there's only the six entree options, you're like, well, I know these are all curated lovely girls. Whereas when you go to the Cheesecake Factory and there's nothing against the Cheesecake.

[Kristen Wiig]

Factory, you're just a big menu.

[Bowen Yang]

It takes you much, well, clearly not just much, much longer to decide because of all the options. But you're like, now what? Wait, what's the area of expertise here? You know what I'm saying? It's like, and, and that is overwhelming.

[Kristen Wiig]

And then you, you think I've ordered wrong. And then comes the negative. Self talk.

[Bowen Yang]

Yeah.

[Kristen Wiig]

I can't even go out to dinner. Self talk. What's wrong with you?

[Matt Rogers]

What's wrong with me?

[Kristen Wiig]

I should have got what they had.

[Bowen Yang]

Yeah.

[Kristen Wiig]

I'm gonna go to the grocery store, make it some chips.

[Bowen Yang]

I'm going home.

[Matt Rogers]

No, just kidding. I get to the grocery store, I look at the aisle, I'm out. I'm going home empty handed.

[Bowen Yang]

Congress hungry. I'm going to bed hungry tonight. There was too much to eat. I'm going to bed hungry.

[Matt Rogers]

Okay, this is a nightmare.

[Bowen Yang]

Wait, I want to say because I feel like we only briefingly mentioned Bridesmaids and Barb and Star. And I also wanted to say you mentioned Hayda earlier. The duet that is the Skeleton Twins should not be forgotten. You guys were fantastic in that. Thank you. And I feel like it was such an amazing like little hint for people that like that like saw that movie and like know that movie of what was to come for both of you guys, which is, you're both phenomenal actors. Like, he's so, he's so brilliant. And I feel like you guys were obviously like MVPs at that show. You were on it, which is saying something because everyone was an mvp, but you guys together amazing. And I feel like, you know, he's obviously done what he's done and you like have just continued to, to like grow and show your versatility as an actress. I will never stop reminding people of that last episode of the first season of Palm Royale. When you're on stage and everything's happening and you're just. Your instrument as an actor is so varied and you're in such control of it, and I feel like that shouldn't get lost. And I'm not surprised at all that every actor got a list of everyone that they possibly could vote for in a leading or supporting capacity at the actor awards. And your name came out as one of the five, because you are that good. You are really that good.

[Kristen Wiig]

Really. That means a lot coming from you. Thank you. I don't know what to say.

[Bowen Yang]

I believe it with my full heart. And I know you feel the same.

[Matt Rogers]

I feel the exact same.

[Kristen Wiig]

Like, I.

[Bowen Yang]

Well, I think there's actually flaws.

[Kristen Wiig]

Issues with your work.

[Matt Rogers]

I would describe it as commie. Yeah.

[Bowen Yang]

Describe as very cool. Ran very cool ranch, if you gather my meaning. It's.

[Matt Rogers]

It's incredible. No. And I. And I will just like. And Melissa coming to the show this season. McCarthy. I was just like, oh, God. Groundlings, people.

[Bowen Yang]

Actors, actors, actors. And let's talk about Rose Byrne.

[Matt Rogers]

Rose. Oh, congratulations.

[Bowen Yang]

Let's see her get some hardware.

[Kristen Wiig]

Let's do that. Because she is such a brilliant, obviously comedic actress, but dramatic actress, actor.

[Bowen Yang]

Just can do anything and has been.

[Kristen Wiig]

Can do anything. I mean, Melissa too. My God. Like, oh, I'm just. I'm so happy that she won last night.

[Matt Rogers]

That was.

[Bowen Yang]

You must be feeling like I teared up. Oh, man.

[Kristen Wiig]

She's so. She's so good and she does such great stuff and she's such a good person. And I don't know, I'm just. I root for her in a way, because her talent, I think, is just boundless.

[Matt Rogers]

Boundless.

[Bowen Yang]

She's exemplary of what it means to be versatile, hardworking, like always getting better. Always interesting. I remember her from Wicker Park.

[Kristen Wiig]

Yeah.

[Matt Rogers]

Ah, Wicker Park.

[Bowen Yang]

The Josh Hartnett vehicle. Wicker Park. And I'm just saying she's been around and doing it and kicking ass. I'm not surprised at all to see.

[Kristen Wiig]

I was it pay off. So, so happy.

[Bowen Yang]

Yeah.

[Matt Rogers]

Yeah.

[Bowen Yang]

But also my. Some of my biggest laughs in that movie are your guys passive aggression at each other. Like the. I think people change.

[Kristen Wiig]

I don't think people do.

[Matt Rogers]

Right.

[Kristen Wiig]

To act like we didn't like each other. It's really hard.

[Bowen Yang]

But again, it's like you did it so well because you. You had a lens on it because you could probably talk about the ways in which you didn't like each other because you like each other.

[Kristen Wiig]

Right, right, right, right.

[Matt Rogers]

And was this Cut. Was this from the trailer? Was it cut from the final film where the first time you guys meet, she goes, oh, did you just come from work? Did that make it to the final film?

[Kristen Wiig]

I don't remember.

[Matt Rogers]

Someone literally said that to me in, like, an earnest way. Cause we went to Sarah Sherman's special and we literally did all. I mean, maybe that's why they said it. But we all did come from. We did not look, like, glammed up.

[Kristen Wiig]

Yeah, but that is basically saying, oh.

[Matt Rogers]

Did you look like shit?

[Kristen Wiig]

Yeah.

[Bowen Yang]

Did you come from work? She was like.

[Matt Rogers]

She said to me the line from, like, Rose Burns. Line from Bridesmaids. I was like, oh, hi. Did you come from. Oh, wow. Did you come from work? And I was like, yeah, but don't worry about it.

[Bowen Yang]

She knows the owner. I know the owner.

[Kristen Wiig]

You do.

[Matt Rogers]

The impact of that line in the theater, I will never experience. It's on the YouTube.

[Bowen Yang]

Funniest fuck.

[Matt Rogers]

Like, we're going there. Like, yeah, that's when the movie turns.

[Bowen Yang]

Yes.

[Matt Rogers]

You know, anyway. Oh, my God, you guys, We've kept you here for so long. We're so sorry.

[Bowen Yang]

We love you. So fun. We're very looking at the clock.

[Kristen Wiig]

It's like, oh, how long have we talked?

[Bowen Yang]

Like, five hour, 20. I think this is a great length.

[Kristen Wiig]

I think this is a great length. Hey, I think so. I wish we take out a minute. I think. I think the listeners want to hear everything, all of it.

[Bowen Yang]

Thank you for wanting that.

[Matt Rogers]

Thank you.

[Bowen Yang]

And we hope you've enjoyed watching, listening and more.

[Kristen Wiig]

[Bowen Yang]

Yeah. We end every episode with the song. Okay. If you can guess what that song is, you're right. Bye.
