00:00:00
the first thing I'd ever done on TV actually uh was I had two lines on SNL I
00:00:07
read that you tell they needed a brown guy and I was doing something I'm sorry
00:00:14
they did I mean the casting breakdown they still do they still do they got plenty of this flavor
00:00:23
um they I was doing well in New York at one of the writers for SNL emailed me and was like hey we need
00:00:31
someone to just come in and do three lines for the sketch and I said yes of course [ __ ] yeah under five so I like
00:00:37
hang out with the extras all day you know we hang out in the theater that Conan was taping in at the time
00:00:43
um and I have three lines an address um it's it's an episode with James Franco and it's James Franco and
00:00:51
Sudeikis are at the you know they're like at the Deus and we're a bunch of
00:00:55
reporters asking questions it's a press conference and Sudeikis messed up his
00:01:00
line oh no through me so much in dressed that I messed up my line I just didn't
00:01:06
know I just literally just stumbled my words so then suddenly when I get the script
00:01:15
now I have two lines instead of lines and I remember it was really cool we're
00:01:21
starting the sketch I haven't I don't know Sudeikis at all he's there
00:01:24
while we're about to do the live when he looks at me and he says I'm sorry he
00:01:29
like apologized to me oh that's cool meant a lot to me I remember Will Forte
00:01:34
was like really really cool to me he he good this guy's never been on TV he's
00:01:40
got live he's got two lines live so he went out of his way to like be kind to
00:01:46
me and I've told him that and he doesn't remember it I was like that's great
00:01:49
sounds exactly like him yeah cool Hammond was very nice to me very sweet yeah um by the way it's hard to do that when
00:01:57
you're in the in the heat of a show and you're a cast member to think enough to
00:02:02
go out of the way because you're sewing your own head terrified yourself you
00:02:05
know yeah and I remember Kristen Wiig when we were rehearsing laughed really hard at me and said that was really
00:02:11
funny so I I feel like maybe they could tell oh this is another performer this is a very big deal for him I will just
00:02:20
touch that they all went out of their way to make me feel confident and comfortable and welcome I like this
00:02:24
story he's like then Lauren came out and they sang for he's the jolly good fellow
00:02:28
and They Carried me around yeah yeah that's right and then Lauren for some reason blacklisted me from Hollywood
