It was very funny because I think the original plan was to do three of those and then somehow it became one. Even now, I stumble and flub more without an audience there, weirdly, two or three times a night where I have to go back and pick stuff up.
Without the wall of sound that an audience gives you, you have less time to catch your breath and re-center yourself. I feel like the old SNL butterflies came back in a good way to get through that on a live Closer Look. When you meet someone who is nice, talented, handsome and hardworking, there are very few things that will derail their path to success. Renewing through makes me assume so. It was hard for Hollywood because there was a lot of big movie offers so I had to let them down. How do you find time to do all of that?
There are times we hear really good ideas from people and we realize they maybe have a little less experience and would be better served going to a different kind of producer. Do you see a time when we might get a woman or a person of color in one of the main late-night slots? MEYERS: I certainly hope so and I have to imagine that anyone with an eye for talent would think that Amber [Ruffin] would be a perfect person to fill one of those roles.

DS: Man. I am so disappointed with your answer. I still thought you were going to say Keith Morrison. Thank you very much for the shout out. Not a lot of people bring it up. Thank you. SM: I mean, first of all, anybody who was an OG, who managed to stick through the 18 months that I was standing, I really appreciate it. Thank you for your continued service.
I felt so much better when I sat down and I think it showed. I mean, I feel like they probably both deserve it, no matter what it is. Well, they are awful people laughs. I got to show people I can do something else. And it was an incredible time to work there and to learn from the people we got to spend our time with. Myers, that…. I mean, is this true that you, did you write that sketch for Andy.
SM: No, no, but you and I do share something, which is we share a great affection for that sketch. And that was Mulaney and Rob Klein and Samberg, and I remember walking into their office at in the morning when they were writing it for the first time and how hard they were laughing.
And it became very clear to us that he had agreed to do it without ever reading it. And so we got to watch him in real time recognize how insane Andy was portraying him. This is very strange, because I have been doing this with a lot of very famous people. Nic Cage is a fucking movie star.
And what I mean by that is you cannot believe he is an actual real person. And I knew the whole time it was happening that I would never forget it. And he was even better at air than he was at dress.
His performance was different every time he did it And I think at one point I made a gasp. You hear an audible gasp. And in fact, I watched it before you guys called in.
Now, what are the hardest jokes to write? The ones that obviously are tied to the local news? SM: Well, I think, the more, the deeper, the real-world consequences, sometimes the harder it is to make light of them. And we try to find a balance.
And I think the longer we do the show, the more our audience appreciates the effort we put into that balance. And the longer you do it, the better you get at figuring that out. We were all going through it together. And so I know the audience being there provided a great amount of comfort to me.
And in return, we just tried to do our best to repay that favor. We had a couple of adorable wasps, who have since been dealt with. Although it is funny. My kids now have started fondly remembering that they once dressed up as wasps on my show, and I think they got a taste of that show biz nectar and they want back in. They keep asking where their wasp costumes are.
So I feel your pain.
