---

Episode Overview

This episode brings together the full "quado" (Seth Meyers, Andy Samberg, Akiva Schaffer, and Jorma Taccone) to reminisce about SNL's digital short "I Broke My Arm" (featuring Emma Stone) and to dive into the behind-the-scenes process of its making, airing, and legacy. The group also discusses SNL ephemera, invented slang ("quump," "quado," "kwalp"), character-driven sketch comedy, behind-the-scenes SNL stories, and the joys (and foibles) of creative collaboration. The episode is filled with warmth, classic bits, and the group's signature self-deprecating humor.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Podcast Housekeeping & Slang Corner

• The group jokes about all recording from hotel rooms or temporary homes, leading to comedic riffs about depressing hotel art (02:10-03:01).
• Listener-invented slang is introduced:
  • "Quado": All four co-hosts on at once.
  • "Quump": Bump in viewership or engagement (usually on YouTube).
  • "Quelp": A Quaid Army gulp (swallowing one’s pride when wrong in the fandom).
  • "Hamburger": The name for a feud between a Ham(m) and a Samberg.
  • "Crumb bum bum": A failed or weak "quump."

Notable Quote:

“It’s officially a quado—but not that kind of quado. Not ‘Quatto’ from Total Recall. It’s like… four of us.” — Seth (04:00)

---

2. Invented Shows & Meta Comedy

• The team pitches a new show idea: “Half”—Andy as a human (HALF: Human Alien Life Form) living with a family of "Alfs".
• Jokes about character naming conventions (Malf, Dalf), pets (burritos instead of cats), and production woes.
• A playful sidelong exploration of ALF's notoriously troubled set, connecting it to creative trauma.

Notable Quote:

“Imagine being the only human surrounded by alfs. That’s crazy.” — Andy (17:11)

Timestamp: 09:16-17:50

3. SNL Digital Short: "I Broke My Arm"

Background

• Emma Stone’s SNL debut as host after her film "Easy A" becomes a hit.
• Will Gluck (director of Easy A) requested The Lonely Island make something special for her (25:49).
• The group discusses their intentional practice of not using songs from their albums immediately—to keep the impact high for album-release miters.

Timestamps:

• Background, guest setup: 24:50-27:20

Making the Short

• Standard writing process: locking themselves in a room to break (no pun intended) the idea.
• Bill Hader pitched the "wheelchair escalation" gag, which was initially debated for taste but kept for its humor (27:40).
• Yorma was composited into the sketch for inclusion using VFX by Krystle (28:17).

Notable Quote:

“The only real memories I have were that we started writing it, we were enjoying it. And then... Bill pitched the wheelchair beat... can we do that? Is that too fucked up? But it made us giggle enough...” — Yorma (27:43)

Real-Time Rewatch & React

• The group live-watches the short, providing commentary on Emma Stone’s performance, the premise, and production details.
• Noted the cafeteria shooting location (former NBC commissary), familiar from other sketches like Laser Cats (34:23).
• Akiva marvels at the “Lonely Island-isms” and meta humor, and everyone agrees Emma Stone brings a winning “all-timer” energy.
• They praise the "grape jelly" rap’s weird, unexpectedly dark detour, and how it reflects their sensibility—sometimes surprising even them with its randomness.

Notable Quotes:

“She’s selling it. There’s Abby and Paul... We did a precursor shot of the foot by the jelly—before the slip.” — Andy (35:17)

“Grape Jelly’s been through some shit.” — Yorma (37:42)

Timestamps: 32:40-38:00

4. SNL Sketch Deep Dives

Keenan Thompson as Jimmy McMillan: "The Rent is Too Damn High"

• High praise for Keenan’s character work, wardrobe, and the social satire of the sketch (44:03-46:52).
• The group breaks down why these recurring Update characters endure—distinctive delivery, great one-liners, and iconic visuals.

Notable Quote:

“The way he pronounces the word McMillan is possibly the best part… Jimmy Mamillan.” — Yorma (47:01)

Googie Renee Discount Halloween Costume

• Laughs at the physical bits, specific jokes about stains (“smells like Shia”), and Mikey Day’s delivery.
• Discussion on SNL’s merchandise era (T-shirts featuring Googie Renee).

Timestamp: 51:18-56:33

Grif Banks, the Sensitive Bully: ‘Second Chance Theater’

• Recap of the “Grif Banks” sketch (a bully with overwhelming feelings) cut twice from SNL before finally airing on Seth’s "Second Chance Theater."
• Meta-comedy focus: Jorma laments his performance was "too real," chilling the live audience.
• On the re-mounted version (with Andy, John Mulaney, Amber Ruffin), the material lands better, likely due to the “safe space” expectation of Second Chance Theater.

Notable Quote:

“My family’s always moving around, so I never made any real friends.” — Jorma as Grif Banks (original sketch, 64:45)

“I let my dog have sex with me.” — Grif Banks’ notorious line (made the audience groan both times but delighted the table of writers) (65:33)

Timestamp: 56:45-72:22

---

5. Pod Culture, Callbacks & Standout Moments

• Frequent callbacks to running bits and episode history (“quumping,” “bumping the quump,” “crumb bum bum”).
• Listener comments and Reddit engagement is celebrated (21:01).
• A fond jab at Seth’s “big forehead” and SNL caricatures; affectionate ribbing all around (20:02-20:34).

Notable Quotes:

“Nobody’s all of a sudden getting less forehead.” — Seth (20:08)

“I think maybe the detail I take away liking the most is all of the other quote unquote kids very reluctantly doing the call in response.” — Yorma on the extras in the short (39:02)

---

6. Emma Stone Appreciation & SNL Sketch Canon

• The hosts agree Emma Stone’s comedic range—“she can do it all”—is on full display both in the digital short and live sketches (34:00-35:00, 40:00).
• They recall her appearances in other standout sketches, like “Wells for Boys” and “Making Technology Hump.”

---

7. Final Reflections & Miscellany

• They determine “I Broke My Arm” is a solid, memorable short but not quite “Criterion” or “Kim’s Video” level.
• The delight at all four (the “quado”) being together bookends the episode (73:00).
• Tangents cover everything from Billy Madison filming locations to SNL’s “quump” economy, to the oddities of kids’ media and pop culture references (61:03-62:48).
• Closing speculative riffs: SNL UK, "Rizzler" wordplay, and upcoming "Pop Star" anniversary events (73:41-end).

Summary

This episode is a fun, deep dive into the collaborative process, creative highs and lows, and SNL’s sketch ecosystem. The full “quado” of hosts breaks down what makes certain bits work, why others flop spectacularly (and memorably), and underscores their approach: swing big, enjoy the journey, and never be afraid to quump, quelp, or even get a crumb bum bum. Emma Stone’s “I Broke My Arm” is both a spotlight on an up-and-coming superstar and an example of the strange, slippery magic that results when talented comedians build something new together.

Transcript

[Seth Meyers]

This episode of the podcast is brought to you by Netflix's Big Mistakes. And man, oh man, Netflix has gotten their money's worth in this episode. As a reminder, because we barely mentioned it, Digman is available to stream now on Netflix. And while you're there, check out Big Mistakes. From Emmy award winning Dan Levy comes a bold new comedic family saga. With a high stakes comedy and crime caper, Big Mistakes follows Nikki and Morgan, two deeply incapable siblings who are in over their heads when a misguided theft for their dying grandmother accidentally puts them in the world of organized crime. Blackmailed into increasingly dangerous assignments, they clumsily fail upwards, sinking deeper into the chaos they're ill equipped to handle. This is Dan's first series since Shit's Creek and he is the co creator, showrunner, and star. Have I ever been blackmailed? No. Has Andy ever been blackmailed? Yes. What was he blackmailed into doing this podcast. What was he blackmailed with? Can't say. Why? Watch Dan Levy and Big Mistakes now only on Netflix. Hey, we're very honored. We're nominated for a Webby Award.

[Andy Samberg]

What's the category?

[Seth Meyers]

It is Best Co hosts. Here's who we're up against. Smartless.

[Akiva Schaffer]

No.

[Seth Meyers]

Boo. Sibling rivalry. Which is Bob the Drag Queen, who's been on my show. Very funny.

[Akiva Schaffer]

That one's fucking great.

[Seth Meyers]

Monet X Change. Sorry, I want to make sure I get that right. The Pivot. The Pivot podcast.

[Akiva Schaffer]

That one's also great.

[Seth Meyers]

New Heights with Travis and Jason Kelce.

[Jermaine Alfonso]

That's even better. We're fucked.

[Seth Meyers]

We might be fucked. We might. We might be fucked.

[Andy Samberg]

How do they decide the winner? Is it voters or is it.

[Seth Meyers]

It's voters. It's voters.

[Andy Samberg]

Like Quaid's could go in there and quump the bump.

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah. Oh, great, Steve.

[Akiva Schaffer]

You're really leading witness here.

[Andy Samberg]

Well, then, yeah. So Quaid's.

[Akiva Schaffer]

You mean Quaid's could just go there now and vote for it.

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah.

[Andy Samberg]

Oh, Jeff's saying he'll put the link in the show notes, but go and make sure we win because there's a huge cash prize.

[Akiva Schaffer]

We all get Ferraris.

[Seth Meyers]

All right, now that we've established that, take it away. Opening credits, the Lonely island and Seth Meyers Podcast. Hey, everybody. Welcome to the Lonely island and Seth Meyers Podcast. And this is the first, I believe all four of us, which really reflects how much we care about this podcast, are coming to you from hotel rooms.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Yeah, every single one of us.

[Seth Meyers]

Every single one of us has got some travel gear. This will reflect badly on the fact that I Will still have the worst sound and now have no excuse at all.

[Akiva Schaffer]

You've had no excuse for the last three sessions.

[Andy Samberg]

Now we all brought our mics.

[Seth Meyers]

Embarrassing. Well, it's the same excuse. It wasn't like I was going to fly home and get it. I'm still in the same place I was last. Sure.

[Andy Samberg]

All I brought was this.

[Seth Meyers]

I know. You keep saying that. I heard you. I still can't go home. Well, Andy, you have wall art behind you that we've seen now multiple times. Yeah, which is just peak depressing hotel art.

[Andy Samberg]

He's in a home.

[Yoram]

I'm in a rental home. So it's even more insulting.

[Seth Meyers]

Oh, no.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Well, then it's great art.

[Seth Meyers]

Oh, yeah. I mean, I love it. I love it.

[Yoram]

What if I was like, this is my house, Seth?

[Seth Meyers]

Well, because I was safe first. They said we're in hotels. Of course. It's hard to tell if you're even listening.

[Yoram]

I'm not. I'm doing strands.

[Seth Meyers]

Oh, you're doing strands.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Oh, good, good. Tell us how you do.

[Seth Meyers]

You know what I think the other thing I like when you also talk about what ostensibly you're supposed to love, which is New York Times games. And they also seem to bum you out as much as this podcast. I think people are just finding out the hard way that you're just a malcontent.

[Yoram]

I guess I'm just wondering why they didn't accept gurgly.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Wait, that is weird.

[Yoram]

The word gurgly is a word.

[Seth Meyers]

I was pretty shocked about gurgly as well.

[Yoram]

Like, what the fucking Sam Fuck.

[Akiva Schaffer]

My stomach feels a little gurgly.

[Seth Meyers]

I got burglary and then Ms. Burglar. So, you know, you know, I'm not having the best day.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Oh, wow, that's embarrassing.

[Seth Meyers]

Hey, I have a bunch of new slang for the pod, which is really nice that our listeners provide us with slang when all four of us are in the pod. It's called a quado, but spelled with a D, not a T. Yeah.

[Yoram]

Cause the quad is in effect.

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah. So this is officially a quado.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Ah, sweet.

[Seth Meyers]

But not that kind of quado. Not quatto from Total Recall. It's like, oh, four.

[Yoram]

Yeah. It's almost a cueto, the new term. What you cooking, cueto? You got that Mac and cheese cooking, baby.

[Akiva Schaffer]

My wife just met with cuaito, the real cueto. So what's up, cwaito?

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah, what's up, cwaito?

[Akiva Schaffer]

She said that he was great.

[Yoram]

My wife is also successful.

[Andy Samberg]

My wife's been meeting with cueto all the time. But they don't have any business together.

[Yoram]

I don't know, they're just liaising.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Just talking about meals that they cook.

[Yoram]

Probably Tagwig.

[Seth Meyers]

So your wife and Cueto are both successful people, but you're saying that has nothing to do. Their success has nothing to do with the meeting?

[Andy Samberg]

No, they have no business together. I can't figure it out. But they keep going out to dinners.

[Seth Meyers]

It's probably fine. And this is you say, and you say, is it about business? And she just says, she delivers it exactly like that. She says, we have no business together. And then just closes the door. Nope. Yep.

[Yoram]

Right.

[Andy Samberg]

Oh. Oh.

[Yoram]

And he swings by and he's like, hey, man, thanks for being so cool about all this.

[Andy Samberg]

Yeah.

[Yoram]

You're like, what about all what?

[Seth Meyers]

Thanks for still shouting me out on the pod. You know, all things considered, I like Mac and cheese.

[Yoram]

She's coming home with like Mac and cheese stains on her shirt.

[Seth Meyers]

Like, just from pan splatter.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Pants splatter Mac and cheese.

[Andy Samberg]

I don't know what's happening.

[Seth Meyers]

Let's just say he left it on a bit too long because other things came about.

[Yoram]

Keith's in the laundry room. Like Mac and cheese powder. How did this get in her pocket again?

[Andy Samberg]

I keep finding. Yeah, I keep finding her clothes. Oh, no.

[Yoram]

Slowly releasing it to sniff, then. Yeah, that's Mac and cheese powder. There's no doubt about it.

[Akiva Schaffer]

This is Kraft Quay do.

[Seth Meyers]

He tasted like a gecko would. Like that. Seemed like a real lizard lick.

[Yoram]

A full on lizard lick.

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah.

[Yoram]

That's the only way you can know for sure that it's Kraft Mac and Cheese powder. We're not sponsored by them.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Not yet.

[Seth Meyers]

Podcast.

[Yoram]

So a couple updates. Jeff interrupted a hot bit to fucking do technical shit. And in the meantime, Seth pounded a whole beer.

[Seth Meyers]

No, but it's a nab. Oh, I'm doing vacation. I'm nabbing on vacation.

[Yoram]

Are you nabbing it?

[Seth Meyers]

I'm nabbing it.

[Yoram]

And that's a perfect strands. Oh, you're perfect strands. Oh, yeah, Perfect strands. Spangram.

[Akiva Schaffer]

First, I'm hoping to go to a perfect straw in like two hours.

[Andy Samberg]

Ooh, a perfect.

[Yoram]

How do you know it's perfect?

[Seth Meyers]

Andy, have you heard that we bought the domain name I want straws.

[Yoram]

You did not.

[Seth Meyers]

We did. You can go to it right now. It redirects to Late Night with Seth Meyers as of now, but we're going to just start listing all the restaurants that we mentioned on the bot.

[Yoram]

Why doesn't it redirect to Digman on Netflix?

[Seth Meyers]

Oh, well, because we assumed you'd redirect us there. I mean, speaking of, have you had to quelp? Qwulp, in case you're wondering, is another portmanteau that's been pitched by the Quaid army. A quulp is when you have to gulp a member of the Quaid Army. Cause they've watched Dignity.

[Yoram]

Oh, so it's like a quump, but it involves the gulps.

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah, it's a Quaid gulp. It's a quelp.

[Yoram]

It's a Quaid gulp that results in a quump.

[Seth Meyers]

Right.

[Yoram]

Unless they're being dishonest. But I would never know. Cause I'm taking them all at their word.

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Andy Samberg]

I've gulped several.

[Yoram]

Several quades out on the street.

[Seth Meyers]

Oh, you have. So it's immediately.

[Yoram]

But I like.

[Jermaine Alfonso]

It's.

[Yoram]

The joke's on them, Seth. Because I was doing that before. You know what I mean?

[Seth Meyers]

I don't have the jokes on that.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Good joke.

[Yoram]

It's like I'm getting paid to do my pastime. Thanks,

[Akiva Schaffer]

by the way, for over your dead body. I'll quote a bunch of Quaids, bro.

[Yoram]

Stay in your lane.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Oh, sorry.

[Seth Meyers]

Somebody said look. Looking forward. Nah.

[Yoram]

Respect.

[Seth Meyers]

When Yoram's movie comes out. Looking forward to Variety headline. Quaid army quumps dead body to baffo box office.

[Yoram]

So there's that. I would like reading that.

[Andy Samberg]

Yeah, I hope so.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Good luck to all of us.

[Seth Meyers]

Oh, this is bad. Somebody wrote in that it turns out the lyrics to the Bjellen brothers song was their winter soldier code words.

[Andy Samberg]

Oh, no.

[Seth Meyers]

It's in there a bunch.

[Andy Samberg]

They got activated, like a hundred times.

[Seth Meyers]

Oh, hey, Yorm. I missed it. And I feel like Keith missed it, too. But in the re. Listen, I heard it. What you said at one point that you're firing on all cylinder. Oh. Oh, yeah.

[Akiva Schaffer]

That was funny, right?

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah. Yeah, I like that.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Thanks.

[Seth Meyers]

That's a good. That's a good Yormism for me.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Thank you, Seth.

[Andy Samberg]

Just for the listeners, when we're on Zoom, you know, Zoom sometimes chooses who you can hear and who you can't. If everybody talks over each other. So that's why sometimes we just happens.

[Seth Meyers]

Nope.

[Andy Samberg]

Sometimes we just not hear each other.

[Seth Meyers]

No crosstalk, Akiv. Two people wrote in with a similar comment. I'm falling in love with Akiva's new catchphrase. That short didn't suck as much as I thought it did.

[Andy Samberg]

Oh, we might get to say that again today. How wonderful.

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah. The other one. Similar sentiment, Akiva, before every short. All right, let's begin this garbage dog shit short afterwards. I really enjoyed that.

[Andy Samberg]

That's fair.

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah.

[Yoram]

He takes you on a journey. It's a lot like what it's like working with him, honestly.

[Seth Meyers]

But that, I mean, don't you feel like that's been one of the secret bonuses of this endeavor so far, Keev, is you finding out that the ones that you were feeling shame about are better than you thought.

[Andy Samberg]

Yeah. I feel like there's a lesson to be learned, but I'm not sure what it is yet. And that's part of the journey here.

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah. Maybe you're too hard on yourself.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Yeah. That's keeva's ar.

[Seth Meyers]

Have you heard about. I'm gonna just fully assume you haven't listened, Andy, only cause you're busy. I know you love us, but there's a pitch for a new alf show that you star in. Have you heard about it?

[Yoram]

No, but I'm all ears.

[Seth Meyers]

You land on melmac and so you're the alf. You like live with a family of elves.

[Yoram]

Me as myself.

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah. Okay, but like, you're the alf.

[Andy Samberg]

You're the only human.

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah.

[Andy Samberg]

That lives now with a family of alfs.

[Akiva Schaffer]

We were calling it half. Like human alien life form.

[Yoram]

Human alien life form.

[Seth Meyers]

Half is gonna be fun because then of course everybody's gonna think it's called half and we're gonna be like, no, no, no, no. It's half.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Makes so much sense for us.

[Andy Samberg]

It'll have periods between each level.

[Akiva Schaffer]

No, it's not called half. Why would it be called half?

[Yoram]

Could the title of the show be half? Parenthetical pronounced,

[Andy Samberg]

I think.

[Seth Meyers]

Rhymes with alf. Parenthetical rhyme.

[Yoram]

Rhymes with alf.

[Googie Renee (character)]

Alf.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Rhymes with alf.

[Andy Samberg]

I liked not. I was pitching not alf. That they keep calling you not alf.

[Yoram]

Not alf.

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah, that's maybe better.

[Andy Samberg]

Oh, yeah, that's a. Okay, great. That's a nice picture. From the subreddit that Jeff just gave us. It's an entire family of alfs. They even made.

[Seth Meyers]

Oh yeah, look at the picture.

[Andy Samberg]

One has long hair.

[Yoram]

Oh, wow. And so sorry, can I ask some follow up questions?

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah, of course.

[Yoram]

That's a really nice nauth poster. Guys.

[Seth Meyers]

We have a nauth poser poster. Not a nalf poser. That's somebody who claims they came up with this idea.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Oh, that's really good. Nalf.

[Seth Meyers]

Nalf poster will be.

[Yoram]

So sorry. Now, am I playing myself or am I a character?

[Seth Meyers]

How do you want to do it? We're the producers. So what do you want? We need to get you to sign on.

[Yoram]

Well, what do you guys think. What do you want to watch?

[Andy Samberg]

I think you're a character.

[Akiva Schaffer]

I think you should play the dad character. Like you're a stick in the mud. And all the alfs are like, you know, so you're playing against type.

[Andy Samberg]

Yeah. All the alfs are elf. Like, they're all, as somebody on here said, like, laissez faire, Kind of like drinking beer. And you're the one.

[Seth Meyers]

They're loose. They're loose with the rules.

[Andy Samberg]

You're the center of the TV show, But you're, like, ironing and doing dishes. And you're like, nobody in this alf family puts away any dishes.

[Yoram]

So I'm kind of like bateman on arrested.

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Yeah. You're totally frustrated.

[Googie Renee (character)]

Yeah.

[Yoram]

Frustrated by how crazy all the alfs are.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Can the mom be called malf? The dad could be dalf.

[Seth Meyers]

Right.

[Akiva Schaffer]

So, like, mom, alf, dad, alf.

[Seth Meyers]

We went through this yorm last week. They don't consider themselves alves because they.

[Andy Samberg]

Yeah. They just have normal names, like gordon.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Oh, right. So their names are, like, sidney and kyle.

[Andy Samberg]

And they're not aliens to themselves.

[Seth Meyers]

And also their pets on their planet are burritos.

[Yoram]

Okay.

[Andy Samberg]

So that they constantly have to tell you not to eat the burrito.

[Yoram]

I can roll with that.

[Andy Samberg]

Yeah.

[Yoram]

Are they eating cats for every meal and their pets or burritos.

[Andy Samberg]

Yeah.

[Yoram]

Okay.

[Akiva Schaffer]

We assume a lot of cat meat.

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah.

[Andy Samberg]

Now you think they eat cat for every meal or is that like having a filet mignon? Every meal is.

[Akiva Schaffer]

It feels like that's like lobster. Yeah.

[Andy Samberg]

I don't.

[Yoram]

Right. It's like, it's. It's dalf's birthday. Time for a roast cat.

[Andy Samberg]

Yeah.

[Seth Meyers]

Maybe that you ended up there because it turns out the melmacians have been, like, using a secret, like ray to steal cats, and they, like, they zip you up one day in one of their cat holes. Okay.

[Yoram]

And I don't know. No, I like. Everything you're saying is in the show.

[Akiva Schaffer]

This is good.

[Andy Samberg]

You've just got my mind racing right now Just thinking of a hundred possibilities.

[Yoram]

One more question.

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah.

[Yoram]

Do I talk like alf, or do they all talk like alf? And I talk like this.

[Seth Meyers]

I think you talk like this.

[Yoram]

I talk like this.

[Akiva Schaffer]

You talk like the dad from alf,

[Yoram]

the original elf yorm. That's a tall order.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Yeah. You loved doing that voice.

[Seth Meyers]

You loved.

[Yoram]

I know, but, like, as soon as I do it, everyone's gonna be like, this guy's smoking.

[Andy Samberg]

Oh, no. We cut that out. We cut that out.

[Yoram]

Oh, we did.

[Seth Meyers]

Guys, look, I'll just say something Because I feel like we don't have to cut this out. We talked a little bit at post. Alf, the actor Max Wright had a trickier time. And then we felt. We made some edits. We made a couple edits. And I had a trickier time.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Yeah, he did have a tricky time.

[Yoram]

And again, yes, trickier time. And we can bleep this, but the trickier time entailed smoking, having, like, in a house.

[Seth Meyers]

And then let's just.

[Jermaine Alfonso]

Let's just bleep.

[Seth Meyers]

Because that.

[Yoram]

I mean, I think there probably will be many bleeps when we.

[Seth Meyers]

When we just.

[Akiva Schaffer]

And then see, every other word is a bleep.

[Seth Meyers]

Smoking, bleep in a BLEEP house.

[Andy Samberg]

Did we just say, like, Google the dad for mouth? Did we leave even that amount?

[Seth Meyers]

I don't know. But look, we could. This is a standing order to Google the dad from av.

[Yoram]

And then we did go on an extended run about the reporter and what the reporter did to get the pictures.

[Seth Meyers]

The photographer. Yeah, deep dive. Deep dive. And how he was like. For a reporter like that, it was a pretty big. It was a pretty big scoop, I guess you'd say.

[Yoram]

And we sort of maybe reimagined what that convo was like when that reporter brought in the pics and was like, guess what I got.

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah, go ahead, do it.

[Akiva Schaffer]

There's a lot of him bursting into the newsroom saying, I had to, Gary.

[Yoram]

And again, we can bleep, but he can be like. So to get these pictures, I. A lot of. And smoked a lot of.

[Andy Samberg]

Why are we recounting the thing we bought him?

[Seth Meyers]

Because, Keith, we can put it in now because everybody knows we cut it. So.

[Andy Samberg]

So it's fine.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Yes. So we were. We were cool.

[Jermaine Alfonso]

So now.

[Seth Meyers]

Yes. They know we've made the sacrifice. Keith.

[Andy Samberg]

Okay, great. That's what it takes. So now it's fine, because we're not saying it now. Right now we're talking about something that was not said. So it's fine because we're not talking about it now. We're talking about something other people said earlier.

[Yoram]

Exactly. That wasn't us. That was. That was us in the past.

[Andy Samberg]

Right?

[Akiva Schaffer]

You get it? Wait, Andy, go. What were you about to say?

[Yoram]

Just that the photographer, the photojournalist was probably, like, in order for me to gain everyone's trust, I had to do it all. So, like, these photos you're looking at, you don't even want to know what I was doing while I took this.

[Akiva Schaffer]

The rest of you are almost not reporters compared to what I.

[Yoram]

But I'LL give you a hint. It was smoking while and being. We gotta bleep all that. We gotta bleep all of that because I don't want that out there.

[Akiva Schaffer]

This beeps. I had to.

[Andy Samberg]

Gary, Gary, you just not say it. It's fine to just not.

[Seth Meyers]

You want the scoop or not? Gary?

[Yoram]

Do you want the best story that's ever been in a newspaper or don't you?

[Seth Meyers]

Wait, this is a story that I'm just gonna read and we can decide what we think.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Okay.

[Seth Meyers]

This is from a Quaid. Alf was a notoriously unhappy unfun set. The actors were actually relieved when the show was canceled. To make 20 minutes of ALF took, like, 20 hours, namely due to the complications of working with a puppet. The actors, especially Max Wright as the dad, were visibly not amused by the improvisation and tasteless jokes of Paul Alf Fusco. Supposedly on the last day of filming, Max Wright left the studio after wrapping his last scene without even saying goodbye to his co workers. Andrea Elson, who played the daughter, vowed never to act again after working on the show. Each scene required take act after take, which led to some truly bizarre line reads by Max Wright. Notice that when NBC did the project ALF TV movie, only Alfred Lynn's the only returnee.

[Yoram]

So what you're saying is the show is what led to the behavior.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Yeah, I think drove him into the arms of the.

[Seth Meyers]

You know, I'll do you one more excellent movie based on his own autobiography, Permanent Midnight. Do you remember the movie Permanent Midnight with Ben Stiller where he plays a TV writer?

[Andy Samberg]

Yeah, I never saw it, but I remember it existing.

[Seth Meyers]

Yes. It's about a television writer and his addiction and recovery. That writer in real life wrote on alf.

[Jermaine Alfonso]

Yeah.

[Andy Samberg]

True story.

[Yoram]

There's, like, nods to an ALF like, show in the movie, correct? Or am I misrepresenting?

[Seth Meyers]

I believe there is. Yeah.

[Yoram]

It was kind of the original adaptation, if you will.

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah. Oh, my God. There you go.

[Andy Samberg]

It had to be so awful to work on to bring everybody to that. This is at, like, when there were still four channels. And this was a primetime show that was a massive. Not just a massive hit, but it was, like, changing the culture. And, like, was on the COVID of, like, time magazine and stuff. Alf is still something we talk about.

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah.

[Andy Samberg]

That's how toxic and poisonous this workplace was.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Well, here's the thing, Andy, because I want to see you act again Now. I don't know if you should do this show. You know what I mean?

[Yoram]

Oh. Cause you don't want it to send me into a spiral Yeah, I mean,

[Akiva Schaffer]

half or an elf is.

[Andy Samberg]

Imagine being the only human surrounded by alfs. That's crazy.

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah, well, our big takeaway, Andy, is that we produce it, you star in it, and you're even angrier than getting talked into this podcast because you're working with like seven puppets a day. And we're all just like, hey, we're heading out. And you're like, what? I gotta do the omelette scene again?

[Andy Samberg]

There might be a good movie to be made for reels that shot a little bit doc style, like the wrestler. But it's about Andy as an actor getting cast in an all elf sitcom. And so it's just showing the behind the scenes of this happening.

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah.

[Yoram]

Yeah, that sounds fun to watch and not to make.

[Seth Meyers]

I think a lot of things about this are good.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Any other cool slang words that have been made up, Seth?

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah. What do you call it? There's obviously the. The alf off between Ham and Samberg. What do you call a feud between a ham and a sandburg? Obviously it's a hamburger, right?

[Akiva Schaffer]

Yeah, yeah, that's. That's correct.

[Seth Meyers]

Although somebody else said you can't have beef with Jon Hamm. You have pork

[Yoram]

to Shay.

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah, I would love to shame that person, but we've established I've gone pretty deep on the ham puns.

[Yoram]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. You've dipped a toe.

[Seth Meyers]

Here's just a few more. I want my ringtone to be Akiva's Sad, I guess. So when Seth says, should we do push ups?

[Andy Samberg]

It was sad.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Was that really depressing when you said it?

[Andy Samberg]

It's how I felt, so I'm glad my.

[Yoram]

Wait, did you guys do more push ups?

[Akiva Schaffer]

I just did push ups before we got on this. I did 50 push ups, so I'm raring to go.

[Seth Meyers]

Oh, boy.

[Andy Samberg]

They both did push ups at the end of the last episode.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Let's do it again now.

[Andy Samberg]

Bad radio.

[Seth Meyers]

Do you remember the Bielen brothers, Andy? I sent a bottle of sparkling apple juice. Okay, so somebody else.

[Andy Samberg]

Did you get it? We watched Dress and Air last week.

[Yoram]

Oh, I might have to listen to that app.

[Seth Meyers]

It gets pretty thin. It gets pretty thin when you're not here, Andy, Bottom of the barrel. Let's hear it from Dress. All right. This is great. As a non native speaker, it took until the 10th repetition for me to understand that. Did you get. It was literally asking if the apple juice arrived at their house. I kept thinking the joke was that there was some silly double entendre and I sent a bottle of sparkling apple juice to your House, which the band thought was super clever and they just wanted you, the listener, to get it.

[Yoram]

Oh, get the joke. It's actually just. Did you receive it? Of course, yeah.

[Seth Meyers]

The ALF show should be called Three Alfons. That was suggested, like Alfin and the Chipmunks. Whoever wins the ALF off is the alpha male.

[Yoram]

Yeah, that too.

[Seth Meyers]

He said I was leading with my forehead in my push ups. And somebody very hurtfully said, hard for Seth not to lead with his forehead. There's so much of it. Exclamation point.

[Yoram]

Oh, are you thought of as a large foreheaded person?

[Seth Meyers]

I am.

[Akiva Schaffer]

We're all going that direction. Come on.

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah. I mean, nobody's. Nobody's all of a sudden getting less forehead.

[Yoram]

Here's what I'll. If you have a face, there's one feature for everyone. That's the biggest one. You know what I mean?

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah. Oh, it's like the first time you get like a caricature done, you're like, oh, that's why I don't want to do that Simon Rich Broadway show, because they just do a character of you and you're like, oh, no.

[Jermaine Alfonso]

Oh, no.

[Yoram]

I love imagining you texting Simon. That smart.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Oh, I can't, I can't. I really can't.

[Seth Meyers]

Oh, I can't do it, buddy. Well, I mean, I'll do it. Do I have final. Do I have a final cut on my caricature?

[Yoram]

I have approval on my caricature. My Coney island caricature. Anyway, yourms would be his left eye. All right, let's move on.

[Seth Meyers]

Oh, fuck you, man.

[Yoram]

Now you're going to think about it, though. Was I being serious or was it a bit? I was going to fucking haunt you till your deathbed, baby.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Wait, you guys, you guys, I did a Reddit AMA and it was really fun and we should do one at some point with all the extra time we have.

[Seth Meyers]

Oh, I'd love to do a Reddit ama. Maybe we could just do a Reddit AMA while we're podcasting.

[Akiva Schaffer]

That would be a better use of time for sure.

[Andy Samberg]

Yeah, we did one back in the day, the three of us. Yorm.

[Yoram]

I was gonna say Yorm. You know, we've done one as a little.

[Akiva Schaffer]

I know, it was really fun when we did it.

[Seth Meyers]

I've done a Reddit ana. They're delightful. Support comes from AG1. Spring means more movement trips, eating out, going on spring break where you don't have your regular mic.

This episode of the podcast is brought to you by Netflix's Big Mistakes. And man oh man, Netflix has gotten their money's worth in this episode. As a Reminder, because we barely mentioned it. Digman is available to stream now on Netflix. And while you're there, check out Big Mistakes. From Emmy award winning Dan Levy comes a bold new comedic family saga with a high stakes comedy and crime caper. Big Mistakes follows Nikki and Morgan, two deeply incapable siblings who are in over their heads when a misguided theft for their dying grandmother accidentally puts them in the world of organized crime. Blackmailed into increasingly dangerous assignments, they clumsily fail upwards, sinking deeper into the chaos they're ill equipped to handle. This is Dan's first series since Schitt's Creek and he is the co creator, showrunner, and star. Have I ever been blackmailed? No. Has Andy ever been blackmailed? Yes. What was he blackmailed into doing this podcast. What was he blackmailed with? Can't say. Watch Dan Levy and Big Mistakes now only on Netflix. This is very exciting. It was the first Emma Stone show. Who of course becomes a incredibly valuable member.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Sorry, what'd you say?

[Seth Meyers]

Okay, we're not in full agreement here. We're not in full agreement here, but three of us are very big fans. She becomes a lynchpin host for, I guess at this point coming up on, like, it was crazy to think, but like 15 years, right? What year is this episode? 2011. She's fantastic.

[Yoram]

And we're well past the birth of indie sleaze. I'm sorry, what?

[Andy Samberg]

What is that reference?

[Yoram]

That's what all the music we liked around this time is called now.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Oh, is it really indie sleaze?

[Seth Meyers]

Really?

[Yoram]

Yeah.

[Seth Meyers]

Did you just give some bands like Phoenix Block Party?

[Yoram]

No, like the Strokes and. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Seth Meyers]

That seems like a full. That's a full decade before this. Oh, you did say we're well past.

[Yoram]

I said well past.

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay. I up, man. I up.

[Andy Samberg]

This is October 2010.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Well, I don't agree with that. To me, it was just music.

[Yoram]

Lcd, like basically all the bands in the Meet me in the bathroom book.

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Very cool. All right, guys. You do. I broke my arm. Memories of it. Anybody?

[Yoram]

I remember Will Gluck, director of Easy A. Who I knew a little bit, hitting me up and being like, hey, Emma's coming on. Do a great video for her, will ya? And we were like, yeah, of course this happened.

[Andy Samberg]

Don't worry, pal. We're gonna make the biggest one we've ever made.

[Akiva Schaffer]

This one's gonna be a splash.

[Yoram]

But just being like, oh. We knew coming in that either she or Will Gluck wanted us to do a song or something big and fun. And showcase her, which we had already want and we're excited to do. I don't remember how the idea came about, though.

[Seth Meyers]

So just checking. You guys made an album and you're still not doing one of your album songs. You're still playing it close to the vest.

[Yoram]

Yeah.

[Seth Meyers]

Coming up with new stuff.

[Yoram]

I think maybe because we were, like, wanting to be strategic about it and do, like, one of the ones we thought was going to be more big.

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah.

[Yoram]

Because had we put out. We're back. We had right to announce it.

[Andy Samberg]

I don't think we had yet.

[Akiva Schaffer]

You don't think we had Keev?

[Andy Samberg]

I'll look it up. So easy A Just to tell you came out in September of 2010. And then this episode's October, so I think this is a victory lap a month later of like, ooh, that movie came out great. Let's have her on show.

[Seth Meyers]

Okay, good. So, yeah, you were in a. Kind of a surprise hit, and I

[Yoram]

do believe that's why Will texted me. But we were already fans of Emma's and we were excited. I mean, as soon as we had seen Superbad, we were like, whoa, who's that? She's super funny and great.

[Andy Samberg]

We didn't put out we're back till April Fool's Day of 2011. So four months after this. Or five.

[Yoram]

Got it.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Good memory.

[Yoram]

So maybe we were strategizing.

[Andy Samberg]

I think we just hadn't even started on album stuff yet. We just had the demos and we just weren't touching them yet.

[Yoram]

We were still probably, like, mixing and figuring out what it was gonna be.

[Andy Samberg]

Yeah.

[Yoram]

But anyway, we just did it the way we always do it. We locked the door and tried to figure out an idea, but I have a feeling I broke my arm. Wasn't Akiva. That just strikes me as.

[Andy Samberg]

Yeah, I don't have any real memory.

[Yoram]

Honestly, the only real memories I have were that we started writing it. We were enjoying it. And then we were like, we need an escalation here. And Bill was in our office and he's the one who pitched the wheelchair beat. And we all started laughing and we were like. And I remember it even being a discussion of, like, can we do that? Is that too fucked up? And then it was making us giggle enough that we were like, I think it's above board and did it. And then, as you'll see at the end, we just completely shoehorned me into it so that I had something in the show.

[Andy Samberg]

And we roped Krystle into the VFX to make that happen.

[Yoram]

Yes.

[Seth Meyers]

Should we watch it. Should we do an old school rewatch, Keev?

[Yoram]

Yeah.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Did you guys watch it already or. This is gonna be fresh.

[Seth Meyers]

I haven't yet.

[Andy Samberg]

I have. Not yet either.

[Yoram]

I didn't.

[Seth Meyers]

I will say I remember enjoying it.

[Yoram]

It's fun.

[Andy Samberg]

Yhorm. Were you there? Cause you weren't there for the last one and I don't remember if you were there for the first one.

[Akiva Schaffer]

I feel like I was there for some of the recording, but. But not all.

[Andy Samberg]

I wonder, what were you up to? What were you doing at this time? Because MacGruber had already come out and

[Akiva Schaffer]

there's no Magruber this week, right?

[Andy Samberg]

No. But you also weren't there for the rescue dog.

[Seth Meyers]

No.

[Yoram]

No, no.

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah.

[Akiva Schaffer]

So where were I? Being lazy? I don't think so. I don't think. I don't think you're allowed to be lazy.

[Andy Samberg]

No. There had to be a reason you weren't there.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Well, I gotta look at the rundown.

[Yoram]

I think this one's gonna. Maybe this is my prediction. And then we'll see what happens. No disrespect to anyone involved. I think this might be an inverted Akiva, where we think it's pretty good and then we watch it and we're like, it's a little longer.

[Andy Samberg]

Well, I'm just tongue to not be a cliche.

[Seth Meyers]

Oh, yeah, that's probably.

[Yoram]

But do you remember not thinking it was great? You already did kind of say that.

[Andy Samberg]

Yeah, I remember because again, the ones that feel worse a la Boogerman, how I thought I felt about it is the ones that I feel like are swinging for the fences and then getting, let's say it's a single, but we're swinging so hard, we like, are pointing out at the. At the bleachers like we're going to hit a home run. And then we're getting a single. And a single is very respectful, if that's what you're going for. But when you point it at the bleachers and then land on first base, it feels disappointing.

[Yoram]

Oh, wait, sorry. I know we want to jump into this. Did we get a nice quump on Boogerman? How'd it go?

[Seth Meyers]

Oh, we haven't looked at the quump. What were we looking to get to?

[Yoram]

I think we needed 7,000 more to get over something, right? Wasn't that it?

[Seth Meyers]

Oh, yeah. To get over 200,000. Hold on, let me check. I'll do that.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Has any baseball player ever pointed to first base? Because that's a fucking pretty.

[Andy Samberg]

That'd be nice. Be like that's the base. I'm going to go to first.

[Akiva Schaffer]

I'm going to get to first.

[Yoram]

Oh, my God.

[Seth Meyers]

Boogerman's at 220,000.

[Andy Samberg]

Whoa.

[Yoram]

That's like a 27,000 quote, right?

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah. That's a big quump, by the way. Somebody also wrote 8 days ago, like, if you're here for the quump, and it has 239 thumbs up, man, y' all the best.

[Yoram]

Give me a break. Give me one whole break.

[Andy Samberg]

That's a big quump for old Booger, man.

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah, that's me.

[Akiva Schaffer]

One whole break.

[Yoram]

Appreciate all that. Appreciate the quote. Oh, a layoff. Keys, Wife, brother. That's our friend.

[Andy Samberg]

It's weird.

[Yoram]

They're both our friends. We need them for the long haul.

[Andy Samberg]

It's just weird. They're hanging out.

[Yoram]

I don't know. I don't know. Maybe they're just like. It could just be emotional.

[Andy Samberg]

Every time I bring it up, she just tells me that I sound stupid. She's like, this sounds stupid right now. Okay.

[Seth Meyers]

And then she goes, not that that's anything new. And then closes the door, just full gaslight. Somebody wrote, by the way, there was 10 months was the last comment for Boogerman. And then there's like 30 since then. And somebody wrote, watching this with Digman in the background while quibbling, while quibbing and googling straunts. That's kablamo. Believe I fucking rolled off the tongue.

[Andy Samberg]

Hitting it from all angles.

[Seth Meyers]

Rolled off the tongue.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Oh, we were love that.

[Andy Samberg]

I had something I was gonna promote in that same quump way, but I think it's already sold out, which is the pop star screening that I texted. I texted that so that we could promote that. There's gonna be a 10 year anniversary screening at the Egyptian in LA, but

[Seth Meyers]

I think it's overwhelmed.

[Akiva Schaffer]

I can't go to that cube. I'm sorry.

[Andy Samberg]

I know it was gonna be me and Yoram, but I guess I'm going alone.

[Akiva Schaffer]

I'm gonna go to Kevin Smith's theater. That's the reason why I can't go. Hey, you know what?

[Andy Samberg]

You could also talk about Clerks and Dog.

[Akiva Schaffer]

I will, I will 10 years later or whatever. You know what could also be good was if you pointed to the ground because you're in a bunt. I was just thinking about that.

[Andy Samberg]

Yeah, you don't really want to tip them off on that one.

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah.

[Yoram]

Element of surprise. Kind of key on a bunt.

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah.

[Andy Samberg]

I feel like everybody. Every batter could point to first base.

[Yoram]

Just ask Tom Behringer's character in Major League.

[Seth Meyers]

Major League.

[Andy Samberg]

Does he bunt a lot? I don't remember.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Oh, yeah, he's a big bunter. Yeah.

[Yoram]

Spoiler.

[Andy Samberg]

Does he point to the bleachers and then bunt?

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah.

[Akiva Schaffer]

It would have been so much better if he pointed to the ground and then hit a home run, though.

[Seth Meyers]

All right, let's watch it. And by the way, I hope we have some time because there are a couple sketches I want to talk about. It's not a Seth's Corner, but there's a real Keenan. This is a real Keenan's Corner episode.

[Yoram]

Well, we have not had a Seth's Corner in many movies. I know.

[Seth Meyers]

Maybe I'm just. Maybe the pump's gone dry a little. Trying to find something I want to talk about.

[Yoram]

I disagree. Strong.

[Andy Samberg]

Well, there's an Andy's Corner from Dress as well.

[Seth Meyers]

Oh, yeah. We got a lot. We got a lot of good stuff to talk about.

[Yoram]

All right. Blazed through this.

[Andy Samberg]

All right, I'm hitting play. Here we are, guys. I think this short's gonna rock. I'm unpredictable.

[Yoram]

I love it.

[Emily Stone (character)]

Hey, everybody, did you hear the news? I broke my arm.

[Jermaine Alfonso]

She broke her arm.

[Emily Stone (character)]

If you really wanna know how I broke my arm, I slipped and fell in some sticky grates. Jelly. Every single year, there's a girl who breaks her arm. And this year, I'm that girl. Now sign my cast. Sign my cast. Sign my cast now. Sign my cast.

[Jermaine Alfonso]

Now. Sign her cast. Sign her cast. Sign her cast.

[Seth Meyers]

Now sign a cast.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Who made this beat?

[Yoram]

I assume you.

[Akiva Schaffer]

I don't think so.

[Yoram]

It's fun. It's a fun beat. So far, my favorite part is the line, every year there's a girl who breaks her arm.

[Andy Samberg]

Right. There's a premise happening here that, like, you know, when you're in high school, there's, like, always some girl and she's got a broken arm at some point, and you're like, I guess that's not really a solid observation to start.

[Yoram]

Like a classic trope. Kee. You know all the John Hughes movies, There's always the girl who broke her arm. That's in there.

[Andy Samberg]

One of my daughters broke her wrist once and had a full cast like that, just like Emma's. And she definitely was into it, was psyched.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Yeah, it's cool.

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah. My early report is I like this premise and I find her incredibly winning.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Well, yeah, she's really selling the shit out of it.

[Yoram]

She's one of the all time greats.

[Seth Meyers]

She's one of the all time greats.

[Andy Samberg]

Great to see the Old cafeteria.

[Yoram]

The thing about Emily is, you know, she can do it all.

[Seth Meyers]

I'm pretty sure it's Emma now. We're just turning into Greg's take. Oh, the pretty sure it's Emma.

[Andy Samberg]

It actually is Emily. Hey, the.

[Yoram]

It is Emily's. Yeah, I was being insider.

[Andy Samberg]

Ooh, what is this light wall behind it? Is it just white that we pointed lights at, or are we.

[Yoram]

I think that's what it is.

[Andy Samberg]

Cause we're in the cafeteria that's no longer there. The old NBC commissary, which we shot

[Yoram]

a lot of stuff.

[Andy Samberg]

Yes.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Laser cats, actually.

[Yoram]

Laser cats. Foo fighters getting punched.

[Andy Samberg]

The aud now is familiar with this space, but we've made it into a high school because, look, we have a homecoming banner. We have Go team. We've got a bunch of, you know, like, sports stuff hung up. It's fall, I guess, because if you will. Yeah. Kids have bags, you know, like, look at this extra with this cotton normal school bag you might have.

[Emily Stone (character)]

If you really want to know how I broke my arm. I slipped and fell in some sticky grape J. Ew. Every single year, there's a girl who breaks her arm. And this year, I'm that girl. Now sign my cast. Sign my cast. Sign my cast. Now. Sign my cast.

[Jermaine Alfonso]

Now sign her cast. Sign my cast. Sign my cast. Now sign her cast.

[Andy Samberg]

Oh, my God. Okay, she's selling it. There's Abby and Paul.

[Yoram]

We did do a precursor shot of the foot by the jelly before the slip.

[Andy Samberg]

Yeah. To show how close it was getting.

[Seth Meyers]

And the jelly was still there, kind of building tension.

[Andy Samberg]

Do you think that's because we figured they'd be ahead of us?

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah.

[Andy Samberg]

Foreshadowing. Yeah.

[Yoram]

We got Jay and Paul Britton here. We're deep into our run.

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah, we're deep.

[Andy Samberg]

We got Abby. Elliott was in the other shot.

[Emily Stone (character)]

Hey, everybody, did you hear the news? I broke both arms.

[Jermaine Alfonso]

She broke both arms.

[Emily Stone (character)]

I slipped again in that pesky grape jelly 20 guy think I'm super sexy so sign my couch. Sign my cast. Sign. My God, I did it again. Hey, everybody. I broke my leg and both my

[Jermaine Alfonso]

arms broke my other leg. Wait, I think I can get up. I got.

[Seth Meyers]

Tell him grave jelly. Well, I'm the grape jelly and it's plain to see oh, my God.

[Emily Stone (character)]

Was standing still man, she slipped in me so don't try to sue it's

[Seth Meyers]

all baloney Ex white basketball, the alimony, it ain't mine I was wearing a

[Jermaine Alfonso]

chill hat like a bitch Trying to

[Seth Meyers]

take me for my snacks that's my grape Jelly be wilding out My gunshots

[Yoram]

shells be flying out Bitches ain't my

[Seth Meyers]

holes in brisk Grape jelly Y' all get off of my.

[Andy Samberg]

She broke her arm, so why. So his rap is just. Starts with a sentence about the premise and then just goes into a bit of his personal life that has so

[Akiva Schaffer]

many, like, just Lonely island isms on every level.

[Yoram]

Yeah.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Going faster and faster.

[Seth Meyers]

Keev. I feel like this is a classic. Keev. That's better than you remember.

[Andy Samberg]

I'd say it was right around where I remembered.

[Yoram]

I remember Brian Tucker liking the grape jelly wrap. I'll say that.

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah. Great.

[Yoram]

Ex wife asking for the alimony. The kid ain't mine. I was wearing a gym hat. Lion bitch trying to get me from my scratch. Is that what it is?

[Andy Samberg]

Yeah. Yeah. We learn a lot about this.

[Yoram]

Grape Jelly's been through some shit.

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah.

[Andy Samberg]

Yeah. He's. And he's maybe not the hero of his own story. He might be the villain. We don't. I'm immediately. I'm siding with the wife. Immediate. I like.

[Seth Meyers]

Somebody reached out to Grape Jelly and they explained what the song was, and they're like, we'd love you to do a guest verse. And then he sent that in. They're like, I don't think he listened to this song.

[Andy Samberg]

That is exactly.

[Seth Meyers]

I think this is an old verse. He had an old verse that he just tried to pawn off on us.

[Yoram]

Grape Jellyface. Tough to look at. The color of the makeup really doesn't match the jelly in a way that's upsetting.

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah. It takes even a second to know it's you.

[Yoram]

Yeah.

[Andy Samberg]

I like his Mickey Mouse.

[Yoram]

I might have plausible deniability on this one.

[Andy Samberg]

Robot Mickey Mouse arms and legs.

[Jermaine Alfonso]

Yeah.

[Yoram]

He does have. Does have Mickey Mouse limbs.

[Akiva Schaffer]

I also like that Kreisel put the reflection into the table, too. Like, that's a pretty good job, Krysal.

[Andy Samberg]

Oh, yeah.

[Seth Meyers]

I like that you guys knew it was too sad to keep going, and so you had to, like, have a crate, and it was too soon to end it, and so you rocked out. Grape Jelly.

[Yoram]

Also, she on her keyboard, types in Bitches ain't Shit but hoes and tricks.

[Andy Samberg]

She needs to get in.

[Yoram]

She's still in the song.

[Andy Samberg]

Yeah, well, she's in his song now. That wasn't part of hers.

[Seth Meyers]

Obviously, at this point. No surprise to the world at large now that Emily Stone has a pretty dark sense of humor.

[Yoram]

True. Indeed.

[Seth Meyers]

This was not a tough sell.

[Yoram]

No, no, no.

[Seth Meyers]

To Ms. Emily Stone.

[Yoram]

I would say maybe the detail that I take Away liking the most is all of the other quote unquote kids very reluctantly doing the call in response on. Nevertheless, she's still super sexy.

[Andy Samberg]

Yeah.

[Seth Meyers]

Are you saying that because every single one of them looks like a teacher when you say quote unquote?

[Yoram]

Yeah, I would say so. A lot of the cast that's in this, though, they could be playing high school like in a 90s show.

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah, yeah, I think that's right.

[Yoram]

They're 9, 020 ages.

[Andy Samberg]

But I think you were saying something genuinely nice. Andy and I as the negative one will agree that. That the call and response. But then they're doing it where they all have this look in their eye of like, we shouldn't still be doing this.

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah, yeah, they're good.

[Andy Samberg]

Like, this has crossed the line. But we're gonna support her. But we. I don't know. That is a good move.

[Seth Meyers]

Not a digital short. But of course she went on to do Wells for Boys. The actress, I believe is the name of the one where she was the non sex performing cast member in a pornography film, which is really funny. And then she married Dave McCary who directed those. So.

[Yoram]

But don't forget her most important piece of work ever written by Mike o'. Brien. Making Technology hump.

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah. Which is that this episode or next time?

[Yoram]

I think next time.

[Seth Meyers]

I look forward to watching that.

[Yoram]

We'll get there.

[Seth Meyers]

We'll get there. I will say I enjoyed that a great deal. I think it'll be a nice quump bump. A nice quump.

[Andy Samberg]

What number? Wait, hold on. I'll go back to that number.

[Seth Meyers]

And let's. Let's over under the quump.

[Andy Samberg]

So it's at 6.6 mil.

[Seth Meyers]

Can we get it at 6.7?

[Yoram]

If it gets a bad quump, could we call it a crumb Bum Bum?

[Akiva Schaffer]

Yes.

[Yoram]

Okay. Sometimes we might want to aim for a crumb bump.

[Seth Meyers]

Bump.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Well, when he said it was 30 comments, I'm like, well, that's not that

[Yoram]

good of a boogerman. Got a legit quump. But also the numbers feel pretty massive because it was so low to start with.

[Andy Samberg]

I mean, there's people on there commenting from yesterday day before, like, early Quump gang.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Yeah, you know, it's a good T shirt. Early Quump gang Qu.

[Jermaine Alfonso]

Gang.

[Seth Meyers]

It would be nice if we had badges. If there was a way for us to give like online badges for quump Gang. That would be a nice thing to be able to do. Keith, can you open up the you

[Yoram]

forgot one thing set?

[Seth Meyers]

Seth.

[Yoram]

You forgot one thing, Seth.

[Jermaine Alfonso]

We don't need those stinking badges, dude.

[Andy Samberg]

Oh, that's good.

[Seth Meyers]

Now here's my question to you, Andy.

[Akiva Schaffer]

No, but they do, though, Andy.

[Yoram]

Yeah, no, but they do.

[Seth Meyers]

For real.

[Yoram]

They do, for real.

[Seth Meyers]

I have a hardcore answer to this. A true answer. How did you first know the line, we don't need no stinking badges. Did you actually see the source?

[Akiva Schaffer]

Oh, you know, it's uhf.

[Yoram]

Uhf. Uhf.

[Seth Meyers]

It is UHF for me as well.

[Yoram]

Uhf.

[Seth Meyers]

And then it was years later that I saw the Treasure of Sierra Madre and I'm like, oh, it was a badgers.

[Andy Samberg]

I knew what it was from. From my dad explaining it though, but I had not seen it. But him going, oh, that's cool.

[Seth Meyers]

Did you drag your dad to uhf though? Or was it in, like, the trailer?

[Andy Samberg]

I'm sure.

[Seth Meyers]

Oh, that's so funny.

[Yoram]

I don't think I got to see UHF in the theater. I think that was a vhs.

[Akiva Schaffer]

It's so funny now, being a dad and doing that same thing and being like, oh, well, this is a reference to this.

[Andy Samberg]

Like in Trolls. These songs are old songs.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Yeah.

[Andy Samberg]

I do remember making my kids listen to Time After Time because it's in Trolls, but the real one and Cyndi Lauper, of course, Legend, the best. But her version is much less pop sounding because her voice is like a

[Akiva Schaffer]

little like Cindy Lauper.

[Andy Samberg]

It's Cyndi Lauppery. So it's scratchier, I guess, is what I'd say compared to Justin Timberlake and Anna Kendrick and Justin Timberlake is a lot more kid friendly version sounding of it.

[Jermaine Alfonso]

It.

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah.

[Andy Samberg]

Oh, no. True Colors. It's not Time After Time. Don't want to get the Jackals after me, Seth.

[Seth Meyers]

Oh, I said wait, wait.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Like, I assume for all of us, Cyndi Lauper over Madonna when we were kids. Like, to me, I was like, totally in love with.

[Yoram]

I mean, not to overstate it, but for me, over everything.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Cindy Lapper over everything.

[Yoram]

Yeah.

[Andy Samberg]

But my kids. The true colors from the Troll soundtrack.

[Seth Meyers]

More.

[Andy Samberg]

So wait, we got. Wait, Seth. We got in trouble because you said you were watching Liar, Liar, but then it had Evan Almighty and that's of. That's from Bruce Almighty. Yep.

[Seth Meyers]

I fucked up. Up. We were watching Bruce Almighty Up.

[Yoram]

I know that.

[Seth Meyers]

Up.

[Andy Samberg]

Up.

[Jermaine Alfonso]

Oh, and I'm so sorry. I shouldn't even host a podcast.

[Seth Meyers]

I'm so sorry.

[Jermaine Alfonso]

You idiot.

[Yoram]

I'm having intrusive thoughts.

[Seth Meyers]

Bjoram, Will you. Will you open the episode? Sorry, Keith. Will you open the episode and. And screen share it?

[Akiva Schaffer]

Yeah, I was going to say, like, I don't do that.

[Andy Samberg]

No problemo.

[Yoram]

It's no problemo.

[Seth Meyers]

Just play your demo, go to like 4710. All right. Jimmy McMillan, local New York politician, started the rent is too damn high party. All right, so this is a real guy who is ahead of his time. Obviously. The current mayor of New York, Zoram Hamdani, basically ran away with the race because he made the point that real estate rent is too damn high in New York. Jimmy was ahead of his time. Kenan as Jimmy McMillan, written by Colin Jost is one of my favorite things in the history of the show. And let's just listen to it through. Cause it's really some pretty incredible.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Love is love.

[Andy Samberg]

Do you want to describe what we're looking at first?

[Seth Meyers]

So we're on board.

[Andy Samberg]

Weekend Update.

[Seth Meyers]

We're on Weekend Update. This is a. A very good. I mean, again, hair, makeup, wardrobe, of course, crushing the actual look. He always wore black gloves, bald head, long white hair. What would you call that? Mustache. It's like, I feel like that's a famous name of a mustache. Like basically the Frederick Douglas. Yeah, the mutton chops go across into a mustache and then also a big bushy goatee. It's a fantastic look. Look it up. But let's just give it a listen.

[Googie Renee (character)]

Allow me to introduce myself. I represent the rent is too damn high. Potty. You know why? Because the rent is too damn high. People got seven jobs, they're working 36 hours a day, 12 days a week, and they can't afford a roof. I will make sure that you have a roof over your head, money in your pocket, and breakfast, lunch and dinner.

[Yoram]

You hear that?

[Googie Renee (character)]

Somebody's stomach just growled. That was a children's stomach just grabbed. Because the rent is too damn high. You know how much a one bedroom apartment costs in Manhattan? $77,000 a month. You know what a roof costs? You can't afford it. You know what breakfast, lunch and dinner cost? Put it this way, it'd be cheaper to eat a roof. You probably look at me and you're thinking to yourself, what is he? Just another Washington inside

[Yoram]

Seth.

[Andy Samberg]

Seth shaking his head very gently.

[Jermaine Alfonso]

What is it?

[Googie Renee (character)]

Part of the establishment. Well, believe it or not, I have never been a governor anywhere. People ask, if elected, how would you lower our rent? Simple. The rent is too damn high. A house in Queens cost $17 million. Part 2, 3. What if elected president, I will make sure every single American eats breakfast, lunch, and dinner. You on a diet? Too bad. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner. You in a car driving around all day. Pull over breakfast, lunch and dinner. You already ate breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I don't care. You're gonna eat breakfast, lunch, and dinner again. Cause why? Cause the rent is too Damn high.

[Seth Meyers]

Now, Mr. McMillan, what about these reports that you yourself haven't paid rent since the 80s?

[Googie Renee (character)]

You know why I don't pay my rent, Seth?

[Seth Meyers]

Well, if I had to guess, I would say it's because the rent is too high.

[Googie Renee (character)]

The rent is too damn high. So this Halloween, vote for Jimmy McMillan.

[Andy Samberg]

Halloween.

[Googie Renee (character)]

With your help, I hope to become the first black governor ever elected from the rent is too damn high party. Climb aboard the Jimmy McMillan Express. You can grab on here or here. Cause it's gonna be a wild ride. A very short, very wild ride.

[Jermaine Alfonso]

Jimmy McMillan.

[Seth Meyers]

Everybody grabbing his own handlebar mustache. God, Keenan is so good. Fucking. He's amazing.

[Yoram]

The way he pronounces the word McMillan is possibly the best part. And that's saying a lot. Jimmy Mamillan.

[Akiva Schaffer]

It's just all one.

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah. And then let's go straight one. 2617. Keef.

[Yoram]

Can I say one thing before we go to that? Seth?

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah.

[Yoram]

I want to talk about. And I'm guilty of this more than maybe anyone. And I used to try for it every time. Update features. Trying to add one last joke after the clapping starts.

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah, yeah.

[Yoram]

And it never lands, but it's always in. And I would always try to do it myself. And then you always watch it and you're like, it just gets lost. Why does everyone do it?

[Seth Meyers]

I. I still do it.

[Yoram]

I did it. So why did we do it?

[Andy Samberg]

It's like, part of the energy, though.

[Seth Meyers]

I will sometimes, Andy, on my show today, be like, hey, you know, like, give it up for Anna Kendrick, everybody. Do the best. And then I'll try to, like, call back something she said.

[Yoram]

Yes.

[Seth Meyers]

And I'm like. It's why they're all clapping at the

[Yoram]

end of it, because it feels more human. It feels more natural as a human being to keep going. To not just be like, and now I'm shut down. I'm a robot. But it always is kind of just soupy.

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah.

[Yoram]

Anyway, hit us in the tittis. Should people stop?

[Seth Meyers]

No, I think that's great.

[Akiva Schaffer]

I think that's great.

[Andy Samberg]

There's nothing wrong with it, though, right?

[Seth Meyers]

There's nothing wrong with it.

[Yoram]

Do people like it? Just energ. Hit us in the Titus.

[Seth Meyers]

Would you rather they try to get in one last joke or just lean their head back Quato style? Where they have gone dead in sight of the car Quato with A t

[Yoram]

just be like,

[Andy Samberg]

just shutting down would be pretty funny too.

[Seth Meyers]

That'd be very funny. At the end of Update if they're like Jimmy McMillan.

[Emily Stone (character)]

Everyone,

[Seth Meyers]

everybody like Colin and Chase, who

[Jermaine Alfonso]

were like, I'm in Colin Jones.

[Seth Meyers]

I'm Michael J.

[Andy Samberg]

Just immediately taking off his beard and kind of muttering to himself.

[Seth Meyers]

Also, when he said grab on here and grab on here, he was gesturing to the two different sides of his handlebar mustache.

[Yoram]

Oh, deafo.

[Seth Meyers]

[Andy Samberg]

What is this one?

[Seth Meyers]

This is gooey Renee. I feel like this second or third Goo Renee. Goo Renee was like just discount clothing written by the great James Anderson.

[Andy Samberg]

So just visually without even him play. He's in a red members only jacket. He's got kind of a gray posso undershirt.

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah.

[Andy Samberg]

A graying short afro.

[Yoram]

He's got a salt and pepper mustache. Yeah. Some kind of chain.

[Seth Meyers]

He has an afro with one. You can tell he has one white sweater. Spot on his graying effort.

[Andy Samberg]

And then he's got. In the background, you can see like various superhero and like princess costumes.

[Seth Meyers]

It's a discount Halloween warehouse.

[Andy Samberg]

Well, we're in a Halloween episode, I guess. Yeah, it's October.

[Yoram]

Before you start it, Seth is Googie Renee. Hey, how you doing? Is that the first line?

[Seth Meyers]

I think so. Go back and we miss it.

[Andy Samberg]

Okay, hold on, I'll go back. Quiet, quiet, quiet. It's gonna start soon.

[Yoram]

Let those laughs go.

[Seth Meyers]

This is an iconic Mary Ellen Matthews bumper photo.

[Andy Samberg]

Emily looks so nice there, doesn't she?

[Yoram]

Emily does look stunning.

[Seth Meyers]

Do you have an impression of Alf's dad?

[Andy Samberg]

Yeah, he did it.

[Yoram]

Alf, don't eat the cat.

[Akiva Schaffer]

You're telling me you don't want to do that over and over again.

[Seth Meyers]

Do him on his. It's his last day. He's just finished his last shot. Do him leaving without saying goodbye to.

[Yoram]

Okay, but you have to yell cut.

[Seth Meyers]

And cut. Fuck you guys.

[Yoram]

I'm gonna go smoke.

[Seth Meyers]

Jesus Christ.

[Yoram]

You gotta bleep all that.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Probably not far off.

[Yoram]

Seth just fell backwards into a birthing pose.

[Andy Samberg]

Nobody come with me except for you, Larry. Larry the cameraman.

[Yoram]

We're seeing the tops of his bare knees like he's about to deliver a child.

[Andy Samberg]

Do you think he invited Larry the cameraman?

[Seth Meyers]

Come with me.

[Andy Samberg]

You can make a fortune.

[Googie Renee (character)]

Hey, how you doing?

[Yoram]

There we go.

[Googie Renee (character)]

It's me, Gooey Renee. Halloween is Coming real, real quick. What you gonna be? A navi dabi from the avatars.

[Andy Samberg]

Shia.

[Googie Renee (character)]

Shia, if you want a great Halloween costume, but you don't want to pay supermarket prices, then you need to get to Googie Renee's partially damaged Halloween costume discount. Barn. Here's my season.

[Yoram]

He says barn and it says basement.

[Googie Renee (character)]

What do you have in your hands?

[Emily Stone (character)]

I think it's a ghost costume, but the whole back stripped out.

[Googie Renee (character)]

So ghosts don't turn around, they just approach. Shia.

[Emily Stone (character)]

But what about when it's time to leave the party? Googie.

[Googie Renee (character)]

I don't know. I cannot plan your life. Maybe get naked underneath and tell people it's a hospital gown.

[Jermaine Alfonso]

She.

[Yoram]

Ah, hello.

[Seth Meyers]

I'm interested in this Dracula cape.

[Googie Renee (character)]

Well, you should be.

[Seth Meyers]

It's interesting, but it kind of has a weird odor. What is it?

[Googie Renee (character)]

I don't know. Let me smell it. I know what it is. Oh. Oh, that smells like she up.

[Jermaine Alfonso]

Is there anything you can do about it?

[Googie Renee (character)]

No, I'm not touching it anymore. $2.

[Seth Meyers]

Smelled it twice.

[Emily Stone (character)]

Googie Renee's. Nothing is more than $2 in a stank basket.

[Seth Meyers]

Sweet.

[Emily Stone (character)]

Googie, Something smells over here.

[Googie Renee (character)]

It's the stank basket, Linda. Get it out of here.

[Emily Stone (character)]

Googie. I love this Greek goddess outfit, but it has tire tracks all over it. That's because the last owner got run over by a smart car.

[Googie Renee (character)]

A what?

[Emily Stone (character)]

A smart car.

[Googie Renee (character)]

Well, if it's so smart, why did it hit a person? She.

[Emily Stone (character)]

How do I get this tire track out?

[Googie Renee (character)]

Fool around with some bleach, I don't know, soak it in kaboom.

[Emily Stone (character)]

Thanks, I'll take it.

[Andy Samberg]

It's the weirdest reason. I'll take it.

[Yoram]

She cannot be Virginia horses that by Ph Pho.

[Emily Stone (character)]

I love this Marilyn Monroe dress, but I. But I'm concerned about the mustard stain.

[Googie Renee (character)]

Well, that's not a mustard stain. That's a baby barf.

[Emily Stone (character)]

He's not a baby. He's five.

[Googie Renee (character)]

Well, he acts like a baby. You need to stop bringing him to work. Does this look like a place for a toddler?

[Emily Stone (character)]

So. So what do I do about the stain?

[Googie Renee (character)]

I don't know. Maybe just hold this gladiator shield in front of it.

[Emily Stone (character)]

Marilyn Monroe didn't have a shield.

[Googie Renee (character)]

Well, if she had one, maybe she wouldn't have gotten shot.

[Seth Meyers]

She had

[Emily Stone (character)]

at Googie Renee's. If we can't figure out how to get get rid of the stain on your costume, we will give you things to put in front of it. Like this wolfman would in us weekly.

[Googie Renee (character)]

Or Yoda with a pot of chili

[Emily Stone (character)]

or Queen Elizabeth with a baby pool.

[Googie Renee (character)]

Now, that costume had an enormous stain.

[Emily Stone (character)]

Thanks, Googie. I feel special.

[Googie Renee (character)]

We all do. Son of Abia. This is about saving easy. Partially damaged Halloween costume discount basement under the.

[Yoram]

A lot of quotables in that.

[Seth Meyers]

Lot of quotables.

[Andy Samberg]

It was the last one of the night.

[Yoram]

Hey, how you doing? Shia? Son of a be.

[Akiva Schaffer]

That smells like Shia.

[Yoram]

Also waving the camera in to give it cross eyes. Zoom in onto his face. And then having crossed eyes is pretty spectacular.

[Seth Meyers]

That was. There were the SNL T shirts. We've talked about the SNL T shirts. There was an SNL T shirt year where it was just a cartoon of Googie Renee's face and the famous line, it's not rocket problems.

[Yoram]

It's not rocket problems.

[Andy Samberg]

Oh, yes, I do remember that shirt now.

[Yoram]

Rocket problems. This is about savings.

[Seth Meyers]

This is about savings.

[Yoram]

That's quite a few.

[Seth Meyers]

Do we want to talk about Grifb Banks?

[Yoram]

Well, Griff Banks we have talked about before. Correct. And we know that the story ends

[Seth Meyers]

with Second Chance Theater.

[Yoram]

Second Chance Theater on your show.

[Seth Meyers]

But was this the first time or have you tried it before and this is the second time you tried it?

[Yoram]

This is post Gabaret Sidibe. Correct, Because I think that was the first time we tried it. But by the way, this is the second time we tried and it got to dress again and did not air again. So do we want to look at it and to see if it should have aired?

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah.

[Andy Samberg]

Well, the question is, is it different a la Mondo Butts, Right? Like was it adjusted?

[Yoram]

There was no pre watch to determine that.

[Andy Samberg]

No, we don't know. But let's just give it a little look see, shall we?

[Akiva Schaffer]

All these photos seem like winners to me.

[Andy Samberg]

Wait, is that the high school Yorm that we always.

[Akiva Schaffer]

That is correct. That is the LA classic.

[Andy Samberg]

So this high school is in West LA. Yorm's been an extra on some TV show at this when he was like 19 or 20. Yeah, and I shot Rescue rangers here. This is the high school in the beginning of Rescue Rangers when the Chip and Dale are little and my kids are sitting on the lawn. Right.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Hinley High School.

[Yoram]

It kind of looks like the Billy Madison in high school too, but I bet that's not.

[Andy Samberg]

It could be if they. I don't feel like they shot Billy Madison in la.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Look it up. Hit us in the Titus.

[Andy Samberg]

It's been in tons of stuff, including used as stock footage before this famous

[Yoram]

cut sketch hit us in Keeves Titus on that one. Get it right. I don't want to be bothered with it. I'd like to have my tittis free of it.

[Andy Samberg]

It's a perfect looking high school for shooting. Yeah, it's a dress sketch, so I don't think we can show it, so nevermind. Hey, check out Chippendale Rescue Rangers now on Disney. If you want to see this high

[Yoram]

school and this guy's going forward.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Dead body. I'll say. Awesome.

[Yoram]

This guy's Quping.

[Andy Samberg]

April 17 at the Egyptian Theater. Pop star on the big.

[Seth Meyers]

Sold out already.

[Yoram]

What are you doing?

[Andy Samberg]

It's got 500 seats. That's a lot of butts. Already decided to come see it.

[Akiva Schaffer]

That's Mondo.

[Yoram]

While you're at it, check out the Godfather too.

[Andy Samberg]

Michael Coleon is back, but now he's the boss.

[Seth Meyers]

It's the best godfather.

[Yoram]

He's back and maybe even more violent.

[Akiva Schaffer]

The boy needs a queen.

[Yoram]

All right, shall we? Ooh, wait, stop. Background actors putting way too much stank on it right out of the gate. I mean, this is dress, so that note probably would have got through.

[Andy Samberg]

Well, also, why, like, we'd have to check the script, but you probably didn't put 10 seconds of dead air right at the top. He didn't say that.

[Seth Meyers]

Hey, can I just say as well, since we, you know, we got back into the stuff we cut with Alstead, that we may also made some cuts in Boogerman. What I should have said is there is an extra in the beginning standing with Bill.

[Yoram]

Right.

[Seth Meyers]

Who I feel as though was under directed by Akiva. I feel like under directed.

[Yoram]

So under directed is the course correction on how you're describing that.

[Andy Samberg]

Got it?

[Seth Meyers]

Sure.

[Yoram]

Yeah.

[Seth Meyers]

We don't know. And we'll never know what I said in what we edited. No, but in looking back, I do feel as though. And again, maybe I'm. Am I looking for a secondary quote? Do I want people to go back and give it one more look? See, I feel as though she just wasn't quite being told.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Cat's trying to bump the quump.

[Yoram]

Yeah. And we'll never know if you wanted to say that a second time because it was so cruel or because your audio was so bad, there's no way to suss it.

[Seth Meyers]

No way.

[Andy Samberg]

And yorm, you're saying that if somebody isn't satisfied with the initial quump and asks people to go back and listen, it's called bump the quump.

[Akiva Schaffer]

You're trying to bump that quump. Yep.

[Andy Samberg]

Seth's trying to bump the quump.

[Yoram]

Well, you especially are going to want to do that if you get a crumb bum bum.

[Seth Meyers]

Very similar to the issue, by the way. Obviously I broke my arm. High schoolers. Now we have high schoolers. I would say Fred looks like Gabe Kaplan's dad and Bill looks like the. Who's the guy? Hold on.

[Yoram]

Buffalo Bill from Silence of the Lambs.

[Andy Samberg]

Bing, bing.

[Seth Meyers]

That's what he looks like.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Yeah, he really does.

[Seth Meyers]

He looks like that.

[Yoram]

Who? He's also played.

[Andy Samberg]

So, Andy, do you think Boogerman got a crumb bum quump bump? Because 27,000 is pretty good for Boogerman.

[Yoram]

That's a stellar quump bump.

[Andy Samberg]

Right. So you think Seth trying to bump the quump is unnecessary?

[Yoram]

Oh, I mean, I think it's already had its due and it's day in the sun.

[Andy Samberg]

Okay.

[Yoram]

Yeah.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Oh, wait, so a crumb bum quump bump is not that it didn't deserve it, it's just a bad.

[Andy Samberg]

It's a bad quump.

[Yoram]

Yeah, exactly. It's a bad quump.

[Seth Meyers]

It was just crumbs. It was crumbs.

[Andy Samberg]

The Quaid's didn't come through and give it the proper quump it deserved. But Boogerman didn't get that. So then trying to bump the quump doesn't feel earned.

[Yoram]

You need to bump the quump because it wasn't a crumb bum bum like

[Akiva Schaffer]

a Dr. Seuss episode.

[Seth Meyers]

While you guys were talking about chrome bum quump bumps, it also occurred to me that Bill looks a little bit like Christmas. Jim Jordan as well, who I think later he played. I think later he played because I think when Lauren was watching this, at this point, Lauren already knows he's cutting it because of the 10 seconds of dead air. And then these two. 45.

[Akiva Schaffer]

He's just casting for other sketches now.

[Seth Meyers]

Two 45 year old high schoolers.

[Yoram]

We're gonna also see how it plays. But yeah, it was cooked earlier.

[Seth Meyers]

I would say this is an early cookie. You accidentally had the oven turned up to a thousand degrees.

[Andy Samberg]

I pulled up the script from Kevin. It says open on it says exterior high school from Chippendale Rescue Rangers Day. Then it says 10 seconds dead air while extras clear.

[Yoram]

Oh, wow. So it was on us.

[Andy Samberg]

And then finally it's like Fred and Bill enter as two high school students looking at their book. So it's got a weird opening right off the bat.

[Seth Meyers]

And in parentheses it says old in retrospect.

[Yoram]

Would have probably omitted some of that.

[Seth Meyers]

You wanted them to look at old books, but the Donroy King was like, oh, they're supposed to be old guys.

[Yoram]

Right, right, right.

[Seth Meyers]

Yes, it's looking at books like, they

[Yoram]

walk out and they go, hang on, let me put on my razor.

[Jermaine Alfonso]

Shouldn't they be wearing this?

[Andy Samberg]

So this sketch did get done at Second Chance Theater.

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah.

[Yoram]

Yeah.

[Andy Samberg]

Does this want to come with, though?

[Seth Meyers]

No, no, no. We've done both at Second Chance Theater.

[Andy Samberg]

So you've done two ambulances.

[Yoram]

Griffin's the sensitive bully.

[Andy Samberg]

Yeah, got it.

[Yoram]

Me and Seth are great friends.

[Andy Samberg]

I was for want to come with, but I guess that's why I remember it so well. But I wasn't there for this, I don't think.

[Yoram]

Well, the Second Chance Theater of Grifbanks is about to get a quant bomb.

[Seth Meyers]

Were you there, Keev? Was it a sort of who's on first situation where Andy said, I'm going to Seth, want to come with? And you thought he was inviting you?

[Andy Samberg]

Yeah, and so I did. So I went, yeah, you. You came.

[Seth Meyers]

And Andy was like, what are you doing here? And you were like. You said, wanna come with?

[Jermaine Alfonso]

He was like, that's the name of the sketch.

[Andy Samberg]

That's exactly what happened.

[Yoram]

Exactly.

[Andy Samberg]

And I was like, what sketch?

[Yoram]

Except for when Keith showed up. I said, what are you doing here?

[Seth Meyers]

What are you doing here? This is. By the way, this is an insanely long preamble to talk about a sketch we've already talked about.

[Yoram]

That is we're about to look at the time it got cut for the second time.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Yeah, I'm excited to hear it.

[Andy Samberg]

All right, here we go.

[Akiva Schaffer]

The limit as X approaches 0 is 0.

[Jermaine Alfonso]

Hey, nerds, give me your lunch money or I'll pound you.

[Seth Meyers]

We just gave it to you yesterday, Grif.

[Jermaine Alfonso]

Well, I want it again, so cough it up. Hey, just leave us alone, Griffin. Griff, what'd you just say to me?

[Akiva Schaffer]

Hey, you're always picking on everyone, but

[Seth Meyers]

you're not so tough.

[Jermaine Alfonso]

You're just a big jerk. No, I'm not.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Are you crying?

[Jermaine Alfonso]

No. Grim Banks.

[Seth Meyers]

He's a beat of bullet. Grim Banks, but he's also a buzz. The sensitive bullet.

[Andy Samberg]

I feel like we should have watched the first version of this. Did you think it had this?

[Yoram]

Yes.

[Andy Samberg]

The same or changed?

[Seth Meyers]

I don't think this is massively different.

[Yoram]

I don't think it's massively different. But I will say, for something that had already gone addressed once before, there's a lot of dead air and miscues.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Well, that was written into the sketch.

[Seth Meyers]

No, you're right. This is not. Nobody has taken advantage of this is our second time through.

[Yoram]

He says, no, I'm not. And then we wrote Parenthetical we wait seven seconds for them to roll the theme song.

[Andy Samberg]

It's a lot of weird choices, Andy. All right, let's go back in.

[Jermaine Alfonso]

What's up, you queefs?

[Andy Samberg]

Oh. Oh, hey, Griffin.

[Jermaine Alfonso]

Did you do my homework like I told you to, or am I gonna have to pound you?

[Emily Stone (character)]

Hey, come on, Grif. Take it easy.

[Jermaine Alfonso]

What'd you just say to me?

[Andy Samberg]

I didn't do your homework, okay?

[Akiva Schaffer]

I'm not scared of you,

[Seth Meyers]

Griff.

[Jermaine Alfonso]

My old man's always wailing on me.

[Seth Meyers]

What?

[Jermaine Alfonso]

My family's always moving around, so I never made any real friends.

[Emily Stone (character)]

Oh, boy.

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah, let's get out of here.

[Jermaine Alfonso]

Well, screw you guys then. Who needs ya? Hey. Hey, numbnuts. What's the matter with your books?

[Googie Renee (character)]

Hey, don't do that again or I'll hit you. What's wrong with you?

[Jermaine Alfonso]

I wear swim trunks in the showers.

[Seth Meyers]

What?

[Jermaine Alfonso]

It hides my diaper.

[Googie Renee (character)]

Joe, you got problems, man.

[Jermaine Alfonso]

I do. I do, man. Thanks for listening, bro. You're my best friend.

[Googie Renee (character)]

We're not friends.

[Jermaine Alfonso]

Oh, fine, then screw you. Who needs ya? Oh, come on, Griff. Pull it together. You're the king of this school.

[Emily Stone (character)]

Hey, Grif,

[Jermaine Alfonso]

I let my dog have sex with me.

[Andy Samberg]

Oh, no.

[Akiva Schaffer]

You got a big O. I wanted

[Jermaine Alfonso]

to lose my virginity to someone I knew. I'm a terrible bully. This isn't even a football jacket. It's My Little Pony.

[Emily Stone (character)]

Griff, listen to me. You are a totally decent bully.

[Jermaine Alfonso]

I am?

[Emily Stone (character)]

Yeah, you've got all the classic bully traits. Bad home life, low self esteem.

[Jermaine Alfonso]

I hate nerds.

[Emily Stone (character)]

Yeah, you hate nerds.

[Jermaine Alfonso]

See?

[Emily Stone (character)]

You're a great bully. Here, take my lunch money.

[Jermaine Alfonso]

Okay, but can I say I bullied it off?

[Emily Stone (character)]

Ya, sure.

[Jermaine Alfonso]

Cool. See you around. Oh, and nerd.

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah, thanks.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Great luck.

[Jermaine Alfonso]

Hey, Gaylord. Go to prom with me?

[Andy Samberg]

Ew.

[Emily Stone (character)]

No.

[Jermaine Alfonso]

But I'm 37.

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah.

[Yoram]

Yeah. It didn't deserve to air.

[Andy Samberg]

No, it didn't.

[Seth Meyers]

It didn't deserve to air. I will say, my dad's always wailing on me. I believe every time you do it at the table with a big old

[Akiva Schaffer]

laugh, I think about that line a lot.

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah, my dad's always wailing on me.

[Akiva Schaffer]

I say that a lot to my kids.

[Yoram]

It chilled the audience.

[Andy Samberg]

You sounded like Baby Brent from Cloudy with a Chance and Meatballs.

[Yoram]

Oh, yeah. Well, not everyone has a thousand voices like you, Akiva.

[Andy Samberg]

Thank you. I was fishing for that.

[Seth Meyers]

You know, in Chippendale, it is great early on when you don't get a laugh on. My dad's always wailing on me. Which also Hearing it now makes perfect sense. It doesn't get a laugh. I'm just saying, like, amongst comedy writers, it always would.

[Yoram]

Yes.

[Seth Meyers]

And then, you know, like, what's coming is that you let your dog have sex with you.

[Yoram]

People were not finding that funny. They found it quite sad.

[Andy Samberg]

The audience reaction was exactly the same as Emma's character's reaction of, like, ugh, yeah. Why would you tell me that?

[Yoram]

Too much pathos. I played it too real, is probably the issue.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Oh, that's right.

[Seth Meyers]

You did play it too real.

[Yoram]

My performance was too grounded.

[Andy Samberg]

I think they were like, suddenly, this is just happening.

[Seth Meyers]

It was too well acted. That's where you're coming out. Yeah, yeah.

[Yoram]

I chilled them because they were like, is this an Oscar film?

[Andy Samberg]

How did it do. How did it do on your show, Seth?

[Yoram]

Well, I mean, it went great on

[Seth Meyers]

the show, but again, we've set it up where, like, this ain't shit to the show. And then, like, people delight in, like, knowing, like, they. They're not, like, the audience got it wrong. They're always like, oh, my God, this is so funny that they tried to do this.

[Andy Samberg]

Yes, exactly. Yeah.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Wait, wait, wait. Did. Did you keep. My dad's always wailing on me, I assume 100%.

[Yoram]

Of course. That's. I mean, that's like the linchpin of the whole piece.

[Andy Samberg]

You have to keep the good and the bad.

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah.

[Andy Samberg]

So I'm turning on the Second Chance Theater.

[Seth Meyers]

Hello and welcome to Second Chance Theater. Where sketches that were once cut from Saturday Night Live are given will a Second chance tonight, a tale of a young schooler with new disparate personalities tearing him apart. On the one hand, he's an individual who physically and verbally intimidates those whom he perceives as vulnerable. And on the other, he's a giant puss. We now present the sketch Griff Banks, the Sensitive Bully, starring Andy Samberg and featuring the Second Chance Players. Please enjoy.

[Andy Samberg]

Hey, there's the high school, but it's a different angle.

[Akiva Schaffer]

It's a different shot.

[Andy Samberg]

That's weird, but same high school.

[Seth Meyers]

Hey, what'd you get for number 8?

[Yoram]

Same amount of dead air at the top.

[Andy Samberg]

So you were the guest, Andy, on Seth's show. So they weren't surprised that it's going to be you?

[Seth Meyers]

No.

[Andy Samberg]

And had you guys already discussed it? Had he. Had you already been on the couch?

[Seth Meyers]

I think we probably had.

[Andy Samberg]

But then Mulaney's a surprise here, right?

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Andy Samberg]

So now Mulaney is in Bill's spot stacking the deck.

[Yoram]

We're Stacking the deck on Second Chance Theater.

[Andy Samberg]

And who's this other gentleman, Seth? Is it somebody that works for your show?

[Seth Meyers]

That's Jermaine Alfonso. He's a writer for my show. Very funny writer for my show. The Limit, as x approaches 0 is 0.

[Andy Samberg]

So so far, you did cut the dead air. Interesting choice. Okay, okay.

[Yoram]

Not a ton of it.

[Jermaine Alfonso]

Hey, nerds.

[Andy Samberg]

Oh, you've got a beard now. Cause you had a beard in your life.

[Jermaine Alfonso]

Give me your lunch, buddy, or I'll pound you. We just gave it to you yesterday, Griff. Well, I want it again, so cough it up.

[Seth Meyers]

Based on your face, you thought we were doing a Second Chance theater of two sides?

[Yoram]

Teen. Oh, was it. I thought you were gonna say Teen Wolf.

[Andy Samberg]

Yeah, that's what it is.

[Seth Meyers]

No, but it looks like you're Hugh Jackman.

[Yoram]

Yeah, yeah.

[Seth Meyers]

Leave us alone, Griffin.

[Jermaine Alfonso]

What'd you just say to me?

[Seth Meyers]

You're always picking on everyone, but you're not so tough. You're just. You're just a big jerk.

[Jermaine Alfonso]

No, I'm not

[Seth Meyers]

Okay.

[Andy Samberg]

Are you crying?

[Jermaine Alfonso]

No.

[Seth Meyers]

We did not reshoot. Obviously, Grim Fakes, but he's also a pug.

[Andy Samberg]

There's a Simon Rich and a Rob Klein and a Jillian Bell.

[Seth Meyers]

I mean, I think we're. I think we're good, right?

[Andy Samberg]

Yeah, we got it. Well, let's see. Who played Emma Stone's part?

[Seth Meyers]

Amber Ruffin plays Emma.

[Yoram]

And Kena came down.

[Andy Samberg]

Kena came to reprise his same role.

[Yoram]

Yeah. Can we go to my dog? I let my dog have sex with me and see if it got a laugh here. Though I will say the pace is much better here.

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah.

[Yoram]

Do you think it's that or do

[Andy Samberg]

you think it's that?

[Akiva Schaffer]

It's killing.

[Seth Meyers]

That's a good point. That's a good point.

[Jermaine Alfonso]

Hey. Hi, Greg. Griff,

[Seth Meyers]

What's wrong?

[Jermaine Alfonso]

I let my dog have sex with me.

[Seth Meyers]

What?

[Jermaine Alfonso]

Why? I wanted to lose my virginity to someone I knew.

[Seth Meyers]

Griff, you don't have to tell me this.

[Jermaine Alfonso]

Oh, material. This isn't even a varsity jacket. It's My Little Pony.

[Andy Samberg]

It's a better. Better back of the jacket.

[Seth Meyers]

It.

[Jermaine Alfonso]

I'm not a bully. I'm just a gaping snorf.

[Andy Samberg]

Cut to Seth, Bewildered Seth.

[Seth Meyers]

Gaping Snorf.

[Andy Samberg]

That's a good addition. Why didn't we cut to Lorne doing that during the original one?

[Akiva Schaffer]

I mean, by the way, gaping snorf. I think that's another one for the pod.

[Seth Meyers]

You're also one of the things. I mean, it does go to. You acted it too well at snl because you are now just playing a big old splashy cartoon character. There's a lot more joy in it now. Cause, like, you aren't wondering how it's going. You know what I mean? Yeah.

[Yoram]

Correct.

[Andy Samberg]

There's nothing at stake.

[Seth Meyers]

The win is that it's in Second Chance Theater. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Andy Samberg]

It's wonderful. What a great way to show it where the audience is in it with you.

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah.

[Andy Samberg]

Much like on this pod.

[Yoram]

I wish all my sketches could have been like that.

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah, yeah. Just joy. Just enjoy yourself.

[Akiva Schaffer]

You didn't end up like a gaping snarf.

[Yoram]

Just tell everyone beforehand it sucks. And then they'd be like, no, it's good. Well, one thing.

[Seth Meyers]

Sorry, Seth, go ahead.

[Yoram]

So here we go. So I broke my arm. Not Criterion, not Kim's video. But fine.

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Is that how we feel?

[Seth Meyers]

Emma Stone? Fantastic.

[Yoram]

Yes to no fault of Emma's. And it was good. In fact, it's just not one of those two things.

[Seth Meyers]

Yep, yep. Okay. And you were saying before it started, you thought if it was just the jelly stain, it would be Criterion.

[Yoram]

Oh, my God. Can you imagine a full track of the grape jelly?

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah, it'd be pretty good. Pretty good.

[Yoram]

It would be tougher to look at.

[Seth Meyers]

All right, well, this was just a delight. Great to have the quado together.

[Yoram]

Yeah, we got the quado. Weird that you're not asking me how I did on spelling bee.

[Seth Meyers]

Well, I know.

[Yoram]

I know you know, but the Quaids don't know.

[Seth Meyers]

Jack Black, Spelling bee.

[Jermaine Alfonso]

Spelling bee.

[Yoram]

Yeah. I quit. Be clean,

[Jermaine Alfonso]

you piece of shit.

[Seth Meyers]

Gross.

[Jermaine Alfonso]

You'll never beat me, dude.

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah, you'll never beat me. I missed Lallygag, which is hard. Heartbreaking. Cassettes there.

[Akiva Schaffer]

A lot.

[Seth Meyers]

Also, since we mentioned Jack Black singing in tonight. Well, you can't promo a show that's gonna happen in a few hours. But Jack Black, Jack White.

[Yoram]

Yeah.

[Seth Meyers]

Snl. Very excited.

[Yoram]

I wonder how it was.

[Seth Meyers]

I wonder how it was, too. You guys already know.

[Yoram]

My guess is good.

[Seth Meyers]

Riz Ahmed. Riz Ahmed is already an hour into hosting SNL UK right now.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Wow.

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah. What a life. What a world that there's two happening.

[Yoram]

Do you think there's a sketch about his Rizz minimum?

[Seth Meyers]

Joe Gan Amano.

[Yoram]

Yeah. Or like, somebody's the Rizzler.

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah. Well, does the Rizzler. Has he crossed over? Do you think the Rizzler has made a footprint?

[Andy Samberg]

I think we're across the pond. I think it's across the pond. I think everything's everywhere.

[Yoram]

Is the Rizzler across the pond? We don't know.

[Seth Meyers]

We don't know. Let us know. Ooh.

[Andy Samberg]

If we wrote the Rizzler Ahmed, you could write the Rizzler Ahmed right now. And it's like another person that's playing Riz Ahmed, but he's like the one with charisma.

[Seth Meyers]

And I think with the time difference, if you wrote it right now, you can still get it in.

[Andy Samberg]

That's what I mean.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Big advantage, because it doesn't.

[Andy Samberg]

It doesn't air here for a bunch.

[Seth Meyers]

It's just because it's not then here now. So that's right.

[Andy Samberg]

That's it.

[Seth Meyers]

All right, you guys. Well, let's all get back to our hotel. Mini bars. Love you all.

[Yoram]

Okay, again, this is my home, but, yeah, it sounds good.

[Andy Samberg]

Love you.

[Seth Meyers]

Love you.

[Yoram]

Love you guys. Later, Arnold. Later, Quaid.
