What do you say? Wow, for people that are listening and not watching, Sarah just popped up on her Zoom with a Marcelo screen saver. She's in between two gorgeous pictures of him. Stop, lady. We buy your drink.
Look at that Poonam as one would say. Isn't he so cute? He really does have a real puppy quality. Do we have the same here? By the way, he would, by the way, still himself.
Sarah, you know that I like to compliment you and you like to deflect. I want it. I want it today. That's what I want. You have great hair.
Thank you. I do go into getting a haircut and I say do your worst. So I'm glad it comes up good. Sherman, it is really good to see you. And this you guys.
We miss you. We are tying together on the pod was so fun. We still talk about it, but Marcelo is probably the customer. I feel like I kind of know the least about. And tell me when you guys first met.
How you were already at the show? I met him on the show. This fucking brat shows up. He is going to be so fucking mad that you guys got me for this. He's going to be like, you could have gotten Kevin Hart, Sebastian Maniscalco, Adam Sandler, and you got fucking Sarah.
Our relationship started because I'd be up all night on writing night like writing like a maniac. And he would be like chill, dude. Relax. You're good, man. Because I feel like I'm a very, I'm like a homework girl.
Yeah. And having someone reflect that by having like a fun guy. Yeah. With like major puppy dog energy being like, you can relax. You can take it easy.
Sis. It's funny that you say that that is like when I was thinking about what I want to talk to him about. He definitely always looks like he's having fun. It's very like little little brother energy. Like you guys, let's not forget that this is fun.
I would die without him there because he is always having fun. Like writing night at 3 a.m. He's him and Cam Patterson will be like doing like backflips. So they'll put like all the chairs on 17 together in like a big tower on top of like the writing table and like do like backflips over them. But he's really he's very menshey.
Like he's very, you know, like he's he's really tight with his mom. You know, he's like such a good guy because of how like well he takes care of his like family and like, you know, the little brother energy is like because he cares like he'll call me like on a Wednesday at 8 p.m. Like during a hiatus and we're like, you know, I'm like lying on my couch like rotting and he'll be like, all right, bro, what clubs you doing tonight? Like you getting up there? What are you doing?
Come on. I'm like, I'm lying down watching X-Files. And he's like, hit the seller. What do you put your avails in? Do some shows like he's like weirdly like encouraging.
And he like he'll like telepathically feel if I'm like feeling kind of like shitty and like activate to stand up see that for each other where they kind of like encourage each other to keep getting up and trying new stuff. Marcelo does. I feel like most standups are such fucking bloodsuckers that they're like, hope nobody else is getting up to like hog all the stage time. I want to talk to about the fact that he was a really good soccer player, like really cares about sports. Like has a good connection with a lot of like his hosting.
He asked me all this stuff like is it is like a jock. He's a jock. In a way where I think I can't believe I'm going to be complimenting him so much. I'll get to you. He he's a it's really great at SNL because he is like kind of like a team player in like a real way.
Like he's really good at like involving people in bits and like and sketches and like he you know, he gets everyone's voice really well and he's really good at including other people in his bits. And in a way that's extremely generous in a very team player way, even though he has a stand up and because he is a jock, he's really athletic and he is like physicality like is unbelievable. He did he did a Sebastian Maniscalco sketch where like Sebastian is like a lawyer. He does like a backflip. He does a backhand spring like a Russian teenage gymnast.
He did a backflip in like a Jack Black sketch too. He's like he's physically unbelievable and like light on his feet and like doing backflips. You know, I can't explain it. Like that's what he did. He is like a newborn puppy who just like popped out of the womb did a backflip.
But then like, you know, who come to my office at like 10 p.m. He's like a morning type food. You want anything and I joked like, yeah, give me a beats pill and he got me one. What's a beats pill? A little speaker.
He's just generous like that. It was like four minutes ago. He was giving me a wedgie and now I have like a $300 speaker in my office. When I was kidding, by the way. OK, what what question do you think I should ask Marcello today?
I have like three questions. OK, great. One, what's your fucking deal, dude? Two, oh, are you going to stay and not answering my text? Look at your phone, Marcello.
I have experience with that. Marcello is really bad at texting because he's well, I have his location on. So I'll be like, why is he fucking texting me back? And then I'll look at his location and he's doing like a children's fundraiser in Costa Rica. And I'm like, OK, respect respect respect.
And I always know where he is at all times, so he can never be training. My question is he is he's a very inherently social person and gets like he gets very energized by other people. He's all like he literally kind of like can't be alone for more than five seconds, which is why he's so fun. But legit, he's an amazing joke writer and he's extremely productive and prolific. Like he just put out an hour of standup.
He already has another he's constantly touring. And I just like don't understand when and where he is the time to do that. So I'm like, it's kind of a bad question. But I'm like, I literally want to know when and how is he writing jokes? Because also he might I have a feeling because I've asked him this before.
And I think he was just like, should I feel whatever. But it is like a serious question because I have a feeling he writes a lot on stage because he's so like physical and like gets really energized by an audience. But his jokes are actually good and well written. You're making a good point, right? Which is that sometimes when someone's not always, but like when someone's doing physical stuff, it's like a vibe.
And if you read it on a page, it wouldn't really feel like a craft a joke, but you're saying he can do both. He has legit well written jokes. You know, he always kind of makes this joke like at SNL, you know, he's like, you know, me like, you know, I'm like a bad sketch writer or whatever. Because you know, you just get into like a way at SNL where you're like, you've decided you've called yourself something. Totally.
Like, you know, you did therapy on me like crazy when I was like, I'm not going to act to perform or, you know, whatever. But he'll be like, you know, like I can't write it. But it's like then when he actually puts his fingers on a keyboard and writes, it's like he is a really good writer. And all this stand up, it's like really tight, good. He set up punchline jokes.
So my head, I'm like, so he's writing it down. But I'm like, when, where? I love his question because it, it, I think that there's a underneath it. There's just this idea of like figuring out what we're like allowed to say about ourselves. Like, what do we actually, what would we dare to say we're good at, basically?
Right. Well, that's good. Yeah. Because I think I did ask a good question. Now the, the, the Gen X or me wants to know, how did you get his face in the zoom screen and how do you do that?
Listen, I'm a professional and I'm also a magician as well. So magician never reveals the secrets that she does really well. Sure me. I, I love talking to you. I wish we could do it every week.
It's so fun. Thanks for doing this. I think he's going to be so happy. Are you guys seeing him now? Yeah.
He's coming in and like, um, he'll be here in like a half an hour. Don't like it up yours. Thank you so much. Okay. Love you too.

Wow. More than that. Oh, is here and he has a gorgeous.
You have a gorgeous flowers. He's having like a huge face. More than that. These are for you. They remind me of you.
Sunflowers. Yeah. You're writing so many people's life. Wow. And I think I, it's the least I can do.
Well, let's get started. Why is more celebrating any flowers? Why do you feel the need to bring me such? Thank you. Of course.
Of course. I'm sensing a weird energy. Like you're not so happy about the flowers or happy, but I feel like on the floor. I feel like this is some kind of me a couple. What's happening?
No, no, me a happy me a happy me a grateful to be here with you. And so many people that give people their flowers. You know what I mean? Like you're giving me a little. They're beautiful.
You came in very shy. I know. Dude, it's so good to see you. And yes, I do have a me a copa if people are wondering. Do you?
I do with you. Yes. What is it? You texted me and I did an answer. I took too long.
What did I text you about? I don't even want to think about it. It's a big mistake. It's one of my largest for grads. No, I'm getting to know you.
And what I'm realizing is that you're not a great text. No, no, but I'm working. Yeah. I'm doing the work and I'm big on a. Did you just not apply?
No, I did not kill anyone. It was a flurry something. Like a fuzzy. Yeah, fuzzy. Yes.
But no, it's it's so bad. And does it bother you to be a bad text? Yes. Do you actually care? I care a lot.
You do. Especially when like, especially when it's somebody like you that I'm like, I can't believe I you texted me. Like I think about it often of like, you worked your whole life to get to a place where an Amy Poehler could or would text you. And then you have the ball. Ghosted.
Ghosted. Ghosted. Ghosted. Ghosted. Ghosted.
Ghosted. Sorry. I didn't see who are you a friend from college. Sorry. I didn't see this.
I didn't see your response. Months later was like, oh, I was so tired. It was something like something. I haven't had any sleep. I haven't.
I know. It's tough. But I apologize. And I got here on time. I really appreciate it.
What you wrote here on a bike. It saved me nine minutes on the commute. And people should know it's very hot out. With the flowers. One hand.
I risked my life. That's a lie. But. She's in the car. She's in the car.
She's in the car. She's in the car with the flowers. When you're riding a bike in New York City, do you have people be like, hey, they recognize you? I like that. That's my favorite direction.
Hey, hey. Marcelo, yes. You can ride away. Marcelo, there's so many good things happening. First of all, congratulations on being almost a vet at us.
I know. You know, you're in that sweet spot, right, where you know how it works. You're not terrified anymore. There's people that are newer than you. It's a nice place to be in.
It's also, yeah, I'm not so confused anymore. I know the schedules and stuff. Yeah, because it is a weird place to work and it has someone set of rules and now you know it and you know you. It's so surreal to be talking to you. It is crazy.
You have to understand it. I know that for you. You're not. You are a force of nature. Dude, I was watching every award show that Amy, dude, you are so funny.
You got a guy massaging you. You then you kissed him. That guy was Bono. Bono, massaging her and kissing. I'm very Hispanic.
And then you had the thing with George Clooney where you're flirting with him. And so freaking good. The hoodie, the great one of the great jiffs of history. That's how we say it because I never know. Giff, Giff doesn't matter.
Great. Okay, well this leads me to my first question. Okay, great. Because what I got from your special is so funny. You watched it.
You crammed it. I crammed it. I loved it. Thank you. You are like a product of like a matriarchy.
You have grown up around women's sisters. Your mother is a huge part of your life and your comedy. Oh yeah. I don't know what it is. I think it's the hang with the boys is so funny.
I laugh so much with my boys. But like a hang with women is just so it's funny. It's also like mentally challenging. Yeah, I mean, emotional. You're learning about yourself.
Yeah. I have a lot of lesbian friends too that I really connect with. Yes, they like it. I'm a lesbian in many ways. Oh, same word.
I mean, because I grew up around women so I'm kind of a woman in some ways. I get jealous. I get petty. I do. I get jealous and petty.
Yeah. I go for a nice deal with that. I do. I get weird. I go, I didn't like that.
I say that sometimes. I go, I didn't like that. I go when you did that. I didn't like that. Oh, I love that.
And it made me feel bad. I mean, you're in a situation where you could do something like that that you'll act differently for my sake. I talk like that sometimes. That's really communicating, by the way. My mom has really trained me.
Have you ever been a therapy? A little bit. I've experimented. Okay. Sports psychology.
I like it. Oh yeah, I want to talk about that because you're a bit, you're a jock. I'm a jock. And you know, I can tell from the way that you like you love a team. Oh yeah.
And like that is the thing I have to say like in figuring out like what to talk to you about today. Like when I was around you and got to be at SNL when you were there, you can tell right away the people that like to have fun. I know that sounds so stupid and simple, but it's easily forgotten at any job. It's like, okay, I got the job now. Like, and then all you think about is like losing the job or the job sucks or the job's hard or whatever, you forget the fun part.
And there's something about you that really radiates a lot of fun. Oh yeah. And you love being part of a team. Oh yeah. Like the team to win.
Yeah. And I don't like to work. Like in a very positive way. I work very hard in my life. Yes.
But I don't like to work. Right. Working is bad and weird. So everything but work is always usually my goal when I'm working. I got a scooter.
My girlfriend had a foot injury. She had a scooter. And then the old scooter. I took it to work. Now, if you go to the bathroom, you jump on the scooter.
You're there in a couple minutes. Now people are scooting up and down the halls. That's fun. That's fun. God, I love that.
Something I do seal. Do you know, seal with that long table that we do table read in? I do seal. I run through that hallway and then I seal and see if I can get fully across. Okay.
You know who did a version of seal many, many years before you is Jimmy Fallon. Of course. That's my kind of guy. Yeah. That's my kind of guy.
The other thing that I love about not working or like trying not to work is this is like maybe this is a sick thing for me. Yeah. Looking in the eyes of someone who's trying to work who you are not letting to work the frustration. It brings me joy in a way that's dark. Yeah.
And then they'll do it to me sometimes and I can laugh and understand it. Okay. You talk about okay. It's just you have to know sometimes. Yeah, everything here is fake.
I love when something because you might know dirty I would get with syrup. You know, syrup is so gross and it stays on you forever. Yeah, but that doesn't. It's all nice. And then you just get the joy of trying but without happening.
Sorry. You okay, you focus up. Sorry. Okay. So you.
You're trying to work. Aren't you? You're trying to work. Girl, I have some questions I prepared. No, that's yes.
That's over here. I'm told. Dirty girl. Look at that thing. Dirty ass phone.
Amy Poehler on the 115 floor. That's my brother. Crazy old phone. It doesn't even work. It's turned off.
Of course. Of course it is. Of course it is. Of course it is. Of course it is.
Of course it is. Of course. Meanwhile my butt's vibrating. Listen. You do this bit here at stand up which is so funny to me when you're talking about your mom's making you dance.
What I love about it is not because you love to dance. I love to dance. Yes. And I like, I wonder if you have a relationship to your, like, you love to move around. Oh yeah.
You like, you're an energy guy. And from a young age you were that way. Did your mom know that you were that kind of kid from an early age and she would get you into sports and moving and dancing because she knew you had to get it out? Yes. 100% on 100%.
My parents' goals always throughout my life was to get me tired. Does that make sense? Yes. Yes. Yes.
Yes. Yes. Yes. And the other things I ever did were always with the ultimate goal of will he go to sleep. Yeah.
And it was tough because there's a lot of batteries in here. So I started playing baseball and then baseball, I was in outfield and first of all, pants, right? In the sun. So hot. And long socks.
For what? Where in Miami? Where in the sun? Yeah, people don't know. You grew up in Miami.
Yes, of course. So I was playing baseball and the ball would never come to where I was because they had me in the outfield. And then so apparently, according to my family, I don't remember doing this, but I was doing cartwheels in the outfield and playing with insects and stuff. And so they took me out. My mom said, I got to take you out of baseball because you're kind of making us look bad as a lot of people.
I was like, I'm not too much down time out there. You're Hispanic. You're half Cuban, half Dominican. They were like, this kid will be good. And then you're a nuisance.
So then I did soccer and soccer is a perfect sport for a child with ADD that's unmedicated and with a lot of energy because the ball never stops moving. Oh, so much running. It's so much running. You get home. You are tired.
So soccer became my love because I was like, it's a constant thing. I would get so exhausted on the field. Yeah. And then my parents liked it and I played that until college. Yeah, you're a really good player.
That was good. Yeah. You went to college to play it. Yeah, I did. Like when, what was your position?
I was in the, I was a winger, which is the guy that had to run. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Running. And when you were, you mentioned your dad's Dominican, your mom's Cuban.
I love when you talk about the differences culturally between those two things. What, what is like the, what are the biggest, I know they're stereotypical, but they're oftentimes very true. Like the difference between those two cultures. Because in the middle of the food is pretty much the same. Cuban is more salsa and then the way they do me rengue and my chata.
So my chata is one, two, three, stop. One, two, three, stop. And then sometimes like a crazy, my foot goes there, your foot leaves, my foot returns, your foot leaves more like math. And then the way they talk is different. But what's so amazing about that is you're making music to me because I can't explain.
Of course. And the music, the Dominican music sounds like New York because so many Dominican bands fast. Yeah. And the Cuban music sounds like Desi. Right.
That's what we, that's who we knew when we were growing up. Desi Renez was the only Cuban that we were like, we knew. Did your family watch? I love Lucy or care? Or did your parents have any like, did they care about Desi?
Did you, did you, did you, did you, my mom's personality can be very Lucy sometimes. My mom is like, my mom would always say, my mom came from Cuba. And it was difficult because they took her stuff, you know, Cuba, the communist government. And so when she came to America, she really leaned in to being American. For years, she would tell us we're all going to change our last name to Smith.
Yeah. Because she was like, I'm American now. I don't want to be feeling anymore. Yeah. A lot of people wanted to assimilate.
And they didn't want to be like, she was so like sad and embarrassed of what happened in Cuba that she wanted to be fully American. So she would say stuff, you know, like, bums have them are fun. And I am just a dumb blonde. Like she would say that all the time. Right.
Because she just thought it was, you know, being American was that. Yeah. And she loves, I love Lucy. She loves like, you know, having fun. My mom is like a, my mom has a little bit of Yorkie energy sometimes.
And then also she can be very tough and hard. Yeah. And yeah. Okay. But I want to talk about your soccer part because, okay, you're getting, how do you get to college from with soccer?
Girl. So the other thing too is the pressure of your friends. Like you always want to look good to your friends and to your family. And so I was like, I need to play college soccer because I've worked so hard to soccer. All my friends know me as a soccer guy.
So if I don't play college soccer, that's bad. Right. So I emailed every school. I was sending emails. You have recruiters coming to you.
I edited my own videos. I did play to Nellie's tournaments. And then I'm the school in Ohio, John Carroll, and the school in California. Occidental. They both wanted me to play there and they were like, you know, we can figure out some sort of academic scholarship.
And then my mom said, you can't go to California because you'll be too far. And I don't know what you will do when you are that far. And if I can't go see you easily, that'll be a problem. So she didn't let me go to California, but she let me go to Ohio. And then right before I went to college, my senior here, my drama teacher asked me to memorize a monologue.
And I learned that John Liguza was on my blog and I'm on my blog from class action. And it was. John Liguza was on all you stuff. Really. Mambo.
Mambo. She calls me chocolate eyes. I call her my albino beaver. It was crazy. I was like, woman, I'm home, I'm home.
That's right. And your teacher recommended that you do really interesting. So they saw something and you like, yeah, he goes, if you do this, I'll get you out of school for like three days. I'll take you to Tampa and you'll compete in this thing. And I went and I won.
I was the best monologue, contrasting monologues. Because it was funny because it was like the first one was so sad and very real about a gang member that hit his gun under his bed and his little brother found it and shot himself. And so that's the first monologue. And then I go, he shouldn't have done that. He shouldn't have gotten into my room.
And then I get up. Hello. It is me, Ramon, the Cuban cowboy. And then that thing you get into this thing about having sex with an old American woman. But it goes to show that people love to laugh.
They love to laugh. And you got to do that one second. You can't do that first. And so when I did that, I felt like, oh, I like performing. I like being in front of people.
That was like the first time I really felt like this was cool. That was cool. You must have when you were younger, been told a lot like you're funny. You're like, you're like a good performer. They must have known that you had this extroverted personality.
In school, they call that excessive talking mischief. Exactly. And so I got to talk about the one or two teachers that said, hey, Ryan Coogler was here and he had a professor encourage him to write a screenplay. People just say, you should try this thing. I see something in you.
And I get so much joy from taking teachers to SNL. I've taken quite a few teachers to SNL. So this guy, the first guy that taught me how to write a script is a script guy named Bob Knoll at my college. And he told me, what's your favorite comedy movie right now? I love the 40 year old version.
He was, I want you to write that movie, but change something about it. And so I wrote the 40 year old version, but the main character is a woman. And I'm a part for a woman. Thank you. Well, I have it.
You would be perfect for it. Oh my God, we should make it. And so I brought him to SNL. He got to hang out and then I had a theology teacher who Mr. Franz is based on that she's like, you know, my body is full of aloe vera because I was burned from my toast onto my head.
And Angie is, I love her. So I brought her to SNL. And then the coolest one was, so my freshman, I took a fundamentals of Shakespearean performance class and there was this guy, Bo Smith and his partner, Tom Roche. And they were this lovely gay couple and they were so fun and cool. And they had this class and they'd be like, you can perform whatever you want.
And then one day everyone's going to try some Shakespeare. And so people were doing, you know, monologues from movies, you know, Wolf of Wall Street or whatever. And then one day he noticed like everybody was acting kind of like soft, you know, like they weren't really giving it up for him. And he goes, you know, in his late 60s at the time, maybe. And so he goes, well, if you're not going to show me what I want to see, then maybe I'll show you myself.
And he's in his late 60s, takes off his tie, takes off a necklace, puts it down, and gets up. And he goes, I will be performing King Lear. And he just goes, you're like, ah, ah, yeah, he gets on his knees. He starts screaming and just goes crazy. And everybody's like, oh my God.
And then it changed us completely. Like everyone started to really give it to him and perform. Right. I did a bunch of crazy stuff in his class. I did whatever he wanted.
And then I started performing my stand up for him. I would write a little stand up and do it in his class. And then I took his class again. And then they were like, go from the school, the two guys. And it was heartbreaking because I was like, you guys are the greatest.
I just want to see you be good and whatever. And so now all these years later, the college has called me back and they're like, what do you want to do? You should do something for the school. And I go, OK, great. Let's start a scholarship.
So I started a scholarship at my school at the college I went to. And it's for kids that want to do what I did. And it's called the Bow and Tom scholarship by Marsall Hernandez. And so now all these scholarships are so far. We've had two.
They meet with me and Bo. His time has passed. And they meet with me and Bo. And they get to meet Bo and he tells them all the stories. And he's a fascinating guy.
And I found him in Cleveland, Ohio. Yes. So I have so much love for those teachers. And also the teacher that told me to memorize that monologue. He came to us and out with his wife and his son.
I gave him a full tour. So I love the full circle moment. They must be so. That is priceless. That's awesome.
Did you have a teacher? I had a few. I had a few. A lot of English teachers told me I was a good writer. We had a really good drama teacher who we just put on good productions in our school.
I feel like my teachers came a little bit later when I started improvising and doing sketch in Chicago. Basically just treated me like somebody who could do this as a job, which I never thought I could do. And you found it. You found it. Hold on.
But did you ever do sketch? Did you ever do sketch? Did you ever do sketch? I'm the founder of a comedic institution. Does that register to you?
Okay. Do you know how many opportunities you created by doing that? Okay. Do you know how much you gave back? We're in college with you now.
We're back to college. Like because there's so many people that have been good comedic actresses and that have done great shows and I've got, but how many of those people have founded an institution for people to grow and come out of? Me alumni? Okay. Have you to think?
Okay. So listen. Let's go back to Ohio. Did you ever do sketch to be king of sketch and improv? God, you're impressive.
I mean a fascinating woman. Marcelo. Sorry. Just I'm impressed. I apologize.
And let me say your computer's banged up to phone is all dirty. You should be in a castle. This is so in a castle on a throne with a brand new computer. You know, I do a great. Give me the new stuff, man.
Give her all a new stuff. She's got bits on the computer. I feel like getting into Sebastian. You are looking at it. The computer.
Looks like it was thrown off a truck. Pick it up, any poem. The phone looks like it has been in the mouth of a toddler. It's sticky. It's sticky.
Oh my God. I'm sorry. Sebastian, we interviewed him. I love him. I'm just doing him because he's so fun to do.
You're so good at it. Also, you've got really got his physicality down. I love him. And is it true that you did a back handspring when you did him or a backflip? It's so crazy stuff.
Yes. Thank God. Okay. Okay. You quit.
You quit soccer. I got to do stand up. Was that sad? Yeah. With the team must have been bombed.
They were bombed and more disappointed in me. I wanted to quit. Because I couldn't do both. I was doing a lot of stand up. I want to imagine.
I got good. I didn't get really good. But I got like okay. Very fast. Yeah.
Because you're a hustler. You know how to do you? Yeah. I was doing a lot of sets. And then I wanted to imagine 500 bucks to host at the funny stop comedy club in Kaya Hoga Falls, Ohio.
And I go, oh, I'm the real deal. Yeah. And then so I had to quit. I was like, I want to pursue this. I think I could be good at it.
What did your mom think? She was excited about it. She was. I think this is what you're supposed to do. She also never understood soccer.
She's like, it's too fast. And people kick you and I don't want you to be kicked. And my dad was like, you shouldn't quit. I think you could be a good soccer player. I said that was also very supportive.
Yeah. And then when I quit, this is when like, like, this is like a balls dropping moment is when I quit. I was crying and I told her I quit and they were like, great. We get it. You know, obviously we'll miss you on the team, but we're not going to tell the team.
You are going to go downstairs right now. Clean your face up, do whatever you have to do. And then go tell the boys that you're quitting the team. And so I was like, I'm sorry, guys. I just had a, I want to do something under comedy.
And I just think you guys are going to do great. And I'm just sorry. And I love you guys. And then I just had to shake the hands of like 27 guys. You got to good game it for those guys.
I had to good game it. And like most of them were like, it's so weird. And then, you know, a couple of them were like, I love you, buddy. You could luck, whatever. But that also also lit a fire under my butt.
Yeah. And then you just relax is what gets you the SNL edition. Yeah. Just relax is a comedy festival. You go up there.
You get seen, you get the audition. What is your audition story? Everybody has an audition story. What's yours? So dude, I've never been so nervous.
Like I was, I was hosting at the stand comedy club every, almost every night at the time. I was a host. So I was, I realized that you could get way more spots on shows if you just host. You could do your stand up and it's tough because you're doing a cold open, but you can do stand up way more times than you can just do a spot if you say I'll host. So I was like, I'll host everything.
And then I get this thing for JFL. I go to JFL. It's my six minute set. If you watch it back, I'm shaking. Like if you just watch it, like focus on my hands and stuff.
I am fully like shaking up there for the whole six minutes because I was really, really scared. I had to look myself at the mirror before and be like, you just got to do this. Do this. And then after that, I got that's an audition. I go to the audition thing.
I do a bunch of jokes about my mom escaped communism and that I can't complain and that whatever. And then I call my mom after I go, I go, I go, I can say it laughed at heart because it's like UCB. And like I think some people there, they don't think communism is that bad. Like, and so I feel scared that they think I'm like some right wing nut. And she's like, it's okay.
And I say, no, they understand your message. I'm like, whatever. Then I got the call back. And then I got the call back and I put headphones in and I listened to always be my baby by Mariah Carey, but by brass tracks. So it's a lot of sacks.
It's so good. And I'm blasting it in my ears while I wait because they make you wait on repeat over and over again. While you're in the dressing room at 30. Yes. And something like this back to the door.
And then the only thing I hear is at one point I hear and I turn around and a woman has been there for like a few minutes trying to call my attention. Sam, minor who's on the time team. And I'm like, okay, sorry. And then someone told me I had to make a bon. I was like, I don't think so.
And they're like, oh, you should get some makeup on. And then I got some makeup on. And then I went out. First time ever getting makeup on. Yeah, for sure.
No one laughed. Somebody coughed. And then my mom and mom and I'm like, I don't know. Notoriously quiet. Cold room.
Yeah, cold room. And then that's it. And then a few weeks later I got the call that I got the job and I was like, this is awesome. Where were you when you got the call? Do you remember?
Yeah, I was like at my apartment. My friend's apartment that I was living in. And I called my mom and we cried for a bit. And then I was like, I'm going to make a million dollars. And then it turns out that you don't make that.

You're like the first Gen Z cast member technically. Is that true? Do you identify as Gen Z? No, because I'm too close. I'm not far enough removed from the immigrant struggle to truly enjoy my Gen Z life.
Because you had this great thing that I saw when I watched the show, which I do quite often. And where you say millennials only care about money. Yeah, boomers only care about money. Millennials are like, where's the money? Well, don't skip over Gen X. Everybody does.
Gen X. Boomers only care about money. Gen X is like, should we only care about money? Millennials are like, where's the money? Gen Z is like, what is money, right?
And so I am like, um... You're the where's the money? I only care about the... I'm a boomer. I'm a boomer.
I see. Because I think Gen Z plus immigrant struggle equals boomer. Yes. Yes. I'm a young boomer.
No, boomer. I didn't get to have mental health. Right. You know what I mean? Yeah.
So that's a boomer vibes. You're right. And my mom is probably a boomer. What's a boomer? No, your mom is Gen X.
Your mom is my age. My mom is a boomer because of the immigrant thing. Well, when you say the immigrant thing, it's like because you're your first gen, you just feel like you can't complain about the same stuff that you can't complain. Nothing is real. Yeah.
But what about you is Gen Z? Because I think there are a few Gen Z things. I'm really good on the phone. I mean, I can do whatever you need on the phone. Except for texting.
I can reset everything. I text things back. That's a Gen Z thing. Not answering. There's like a non-judgmental vibe sometimes.
Oh, yeah. Gen Z that you can feel where they're like, whatever. Do your thing. Yeah. I have some of that.
I feel like that. My sister is like definition of Gen Z. Uh-huh. She's younger than you. Yeah.
But she's an architect. And then also she has her moments with her friends where she like is like fun and talkative. Yeah. But she's like in our house. She's like the quieter one.
Yeah. And that's my, that's a theory my mom has that if the first child you have is insane that the next one will be quiet. She says that. That's probably true. Then we went to my friend, let's house on her baby is so nice and sweet and quiet.
And she goes, the next one is gonna be a disaster. And I think it could be real. How many do you have now? Not two. I met your boys.
You did. I met your boys. They were very excited to meet you. You got some good boys. Well, you know, they're at the age now where they're watching SNL and they want to see people that like them.
They want to see people their age and they want to like, you know, there's nothing like, even if you're on SNL, your kids just don't want to watch like classic old, they're just like, I want to watch people that look like me. That's what SNL is about. Is this feeling that like young people are in charge over there. Your relationship with like Maya and Dratch and now it's so cool and so awesome. Dratch makes me laugh in a way that I can't even explain and the way that she laughs is priceless.
Her laugh is like magic. And the headphones thing. Who's the best laugh I know the headphones? It's like I can't. It was so good.
She's like, I can't. I can't. I can't. I'm being reliable. I owe Dratch so much money for that.
She's so funny. Domingo is a huge hit. Like congrats on having recurring like you need something sometimes. You need something sometimes. Have nothing to do with that.
God gave me that. God and Kiro. So very nice. Right. And then you gave me that.
Kiro is telling me to be folly. Great writers like at SNL like so important to that show. Right. So many monologues. Right.
So many pieces. And why do you think is it why do you think that's just took off? I mean, is it just the bad singing? What is it that makes that so delicious that sketch? I think Ariana Grande is so good.
She sings so crazy. And then her doing it bad is so hard to like sing bad on purpose. Yeah. And she does it so good. It's so funny.
So that gets you through the first part of the sketch. Yeah. And like the girls were so funny, Heidi and Ego and all of them coming in after are so funny. And then Sarah and everybody and then and then at the end, they're talking about this guy the whole time. You're like, all right, well, now there has to be a reveal.
And then I come out with like in a little goatee like a version of my hair. And then I sing what I still feel is a very catchy tune of just duh duh duh duh duudu duh duh duuddu? And then I think that's what happened, it's not just a catchy tune. It's a very popular pop song. It's huge.
One of the biggest pop songs of the time of the time. Of the time that we are. So good argument. Yeah. And so I think that it was just a perfect store.
And then I think it's very SNLS for the audience to reward the guy that did the least. In the sketch. It's called that did nothing pretty much came in for three seconds. seconds and that's the thing. But I'm just gonna, I'm gonna praise you for a little bit because.
Oh, praise me. Yeah, Randy Marcella. I'm under. Because that is a perfect example of you enter that sketch having fun, like you're enjoying it, like we're enjoying it and you're like ease and coming into it and you do this with most of the stuff that you do. Like you don't let us forget when you're performing like can you believe we're all watching this?
This is like how do we all get here? How did you get the audience? How did I get it? Like it's very, very infectious. Like I always say like I always want people to seem relaxed.
I don't really care if they have the best jokes or if they're the funniest, I just want them to seem like they're having a good time and they're relaxed and I can. Nothing makes me more stressed than when I can feel like the mirror neurons of like someone else is stressed. Yeah, I feel that. And you've always, you've done on the show. You like you act like you've always been there.
Like everything is super fun. Yeah. And that's the power of fear. Interesting. That's the power of fear.
What do you mean? How do you do you fake it? You're so scared of it going wrong that you're like, if it goes wrong, I'm gonna go wrong swinging to the rafters. Right. So like I just go absolutely insane.
My biggest note at dress is calm down. Yeah. Because there's some stuff you guys haven't seen where I really lose it out there. Yeah. But like, oh yeah, there was a thing about, there was a thing that we did that came out on the show about with Coleman Domingo, he's a teacher.
Yeah. And he's like, nothing matters. Come up with a number and I'm like 11, if you're empty for her. And then, and then he's like, and who would be, who would be, you know, a number bigger than Flutter, whatever the question was, and then I get up and I go, ah, ah, he's a little empty too. And I got, did it so big that all the rafters were like, just, just please, just stop.
And that's a note that's chasing me my whole life since kindergarten. Because break it down. But that is my favorite kind of note though, because the opposite is way worse. Yeah, right. Well, I can't do the opposite.
I can't. You have done so many funny things on the show. Your stuff with Bad Bunny has been so funny. So much good stuff. And who's your bad buddy?
Who's the guy, the person that came to the show? We'll get to me in a second. Okay. How long are we going to be here? Let's do like four hours.
We've got like, but do you feel like you're funnier in that? That's a timer up there and that says how long we've been going. Over an hour? Yes. So I have so many more questions.
I want to hang out. What do you do? Turn the cameras off. Okay. But Bad Bunny, wait, do you think you're funnier and do you think you're funnier in Spanish?
Yeah. Okay. And do you think in Spanish? I'm fast in Spanish. And you write in Spanish?
Sometimes. Yeah. So I've been doing stand up in Spanish. I've been doing a little touring in Spanish. That's cool.
And it is so fun. Yeah. My family, my girlfriend, my dad, they think that I'm better in Spanish, which is offensive. What do you think is the difference? Why is it just the facility of the language?
I guess I think Spanish comedy is interesting because it's developing a lot of people. I think there's so many good young comedians are doing it in Spanish. Angelic Molina is one that travels with me or has done shows with me. Nada Buoyo de da del Poticos in here. Santiago Piedero Gonzalez.
And Sofia Rivera, who's a Mexican stand up who really was like a, she's a titan of stand up in Mexico. And she's a woman. And she's like broken a lot of barriers because she was the best and the biggest. And I find that the reason that those stand ups like her worked so well so early on is because stand up in Spanish for years, like Alba de Suneres and legendary Latino comedians in Spanish. And we had like Boruga and Hochi and there's a bunch and they did like long stories with a big punch line or there was political, it was like, I know when you dress up like a political guy and you go, and then people go crazy.
And so when you do an American style of standing up, punchy, observation stuff, I think the audience is, it's a refreshing feeling. Yeah. And so I feel that when I'm like doing a Spanish set with all Hispanic people and we're all laughing and especially today when Latinos are going through a lot and we just get to be a room and scream in Spanish, it feels very powerful. Yeah. And I got the same myself like in general, the cast right now on the show is like really putting the variety and variety show.
Everybody's very, very different. And there's a vibe that's like everybody's kind of bringing the stuff that they can bring. And watching you guys do that, it was very, very exciting because the show, you know, it needs to feel like it's a reflection of the time. And that is like, and there's. The tickets are having a moment for having a moment.
Let us have a moment. Do you ever have an SNL stress stream? Do you have any? Do you have a recurring stress stream? What is it?
It's not getting to the thing. Like not getting to the floor. It's too far. It's too far too late. Too far too late.
Running down the stairs. Have you almost ever, did you almost ever miss one? No, I've never missed a, have you? No, but I almost did. Once.
Yeah, missing a queue. Yeah, like no, like I was in the beginning of the sketch and I was almost not out there. Oh, yeah. Jenna's like, you know, screaming and I'm coming from a place where she can't see me. So it was even more nerve wracking because I was there and she didn't know yet.
She was looking for me. On the lot of this is on the launch. So whether it was live or dress, I can't get this in her. I definitely have been, I've gone out and she was seen with the wrong wig where I've been the wrong character. And then I've come out and I've been dressed as a certain man.
And then I was like, and then I looked up and I was right up and I was like, I'm right up and we had to like switch it in like five seconds. Oh my God. So exciting. It was also kind of things that like, but yeah, your dream is that you don't make it. Yeah.
Oh, and I wanted to tell you that. Yeah. I've been hanging out with Jody so much. Oh, Jody, make you so who runs the hair department at SNL, whose voice is an inspiration for Bronx beat. Sweatawata.
Sweatawata. I was getting to like, she cuts my hair. She's the only person my mom lets took out my hair. Hold on. Yeah.
Your mom is in charge of who cuts her hair. Yeah. Did she used to cut your hair? No. She's always taking me to the person I thought.
Okay. And then Jody has done it very well. So she's like, Jody can do it for now. But hearing her so much has like, like I've been out as no long enough where if you guys didn't do her voice on the show, somebody would have, because you're with her enough that you're like, oh, this is just, she's exactly that person. She is.
So you're telling me it's so good. It's so, so good. Okay. I know you want my deal in my deal is, I'll tell you what my deal is, because I know this is not just coming from her.
This is a big question. There's some new cast members up here this nigga. What's your fucking deal? I'll tell you what my deal is. My deal is that I was not given the opportunity to be soft in my house.
I see you. You're mean to me, my whole life, my family. I was short, my nickname in the house was Puga, which means flea. That's my name in my house. I'm short.
So they call me dwarf in my house in ano means dwarf. That was my name in my house. Okay. So if you are a little girl that wears rainbow clothes, that's your name. That's who you are.
I call people. So, you know, Tommy Brennan is a good looking kid. I say that he's good looking at that mean he might be dumb, because that's what he looks like. You say it. That's a love language.
A bi-love language. A lot of people they misinterpret it, because I can, some people can't think it's mean, but I don't think that. I think that's how my family talked to me. Gen Z love short. I just want you to know.
Gen Z love short guys. Yes, but why? Right? Why? Because they love short kings.
I've guilt them. We've done to the shorts for years. Now they're trying to be nice. And you know what? Now we don't care.
On behalf of the shorts, we don't care. We don't care what you want to say to us. Short king. Like I need that. I taught myself to be self to have self esteem.
Because you wouldn't give it to me. Okay. Women in their bio talk about must be six feet to ride this roller coaster. Shush. You're right. You're right.
They don't deserve you. They don't deserve me now. No, I'm supposed to say thank you. Oh, thank you. Please.
Okay. And Sarah's second question. Why are you not answering my texts? We already talked about that. Sarah's just a complainer. Right?
And so, and sometimes I can. Sometimes I do have a bandwidth. But right now, I'm too busy to be doing a bandwidth. But I will say this about Sarah. I watch her on podcasts.
When I'm like bored, Sarah has jokes for minutes. Sarah's always trying to do a joke. You guys both are very, yeah, she has so many. You guys are both really quick. She's quick. I like her.
She's so quick. And then she is sweetly. Her third question was like basically like, you have written so many great jokes. You have really well written jokes. You're a physical person.
You have a ton of charisma. Like you know how to work a room. Like it's not. But you have really, really good left to take this compliment in. And you have really, really good jokes.
And you are very, very good writer. And she wants to know like, how do you see yourself as a writer? Like do you see yourself as a writer? And can you accept that you're a good one? I don't know.
But you're not going to answer this question. I don't know. I'm just like, I don't feel like I'm a great writer. I'm probably going to take a sketch writing class this summer because of that fear of like, because also I just watched like, because Sarah, a lot of the people at the show, they know sketch and I came so hard from stand up that I don't know sketch that well. And watching people like Mikey and Streater and Colin and Bolin and.
And know how to like structure and hide. You like all of the stuff you've done and my and all like so many people that have come from that came from sketch to the show that are so actually, Padilla is such a great sketch writer. And I'm like, athletically jealous of like that ability. And I think that she's right. Like I can write jokes, but format and the character reveal and all that stuff is stuff that if it wasn't for Jake Nordwend and Mike DeGenzo who have been like really with me a lot and Ashaward is like, I would not be, I wouldn't, I wouldn't get anything on because I'm just jokes.
And so I'm learning, I'm trying to learn more and more of like what that thing is. But I think that's really cool. Sarah was on here. She's not going in her fifth year and she was like, so I'm going to my fourth year. Yeah, you're a year behind her.
And it's like, that's when you start being like, should I practice my backhand? Like, what's the thing? Like, I've got on, I've got some stuff on people, know who I am, I'm like playing to my strengths. Now I'm playing with good people. Now I know how this place works.
And then you can start being like, all right, can I start trying some stuff that like maybe I don't necessarily go to automatically, but like it's cool. It's a cool trajectory of being on that show and being an artist basically. That's what a good artist does is they keep trying new things, seeing what works, like learning from good people, getting better. That's what they do. Yeah.
And what like you did the show. Now he's talking about me. Of course. What am I to do? What am I to do?
What is what type of psychotic person sits with Amy Poehler and goes, let's talk about me. You have to be who? Denzel? Like, um, yes, Denzel should come by. He would kill this.
Oh my God. So because you did the show, right? And this is something by the way that I have to ask you in person because I've been petrified to text you after a debacle. So you did the show. You had this, you know, obviously incredible transition into TV and you've done so many funny parts and roles and you've written and you've done it all what like advice do you have for someone that like me or like Sarah or like, you know, Ashley or even Bowen that just left the show and so many people that looked up to you and I've seen you as like a beacon of like that is a funny lady that has worked hard and is successful.
What do you say to us? Let me ask you one question. The after the show, do you want to do more is a hope to do more like written stuff, more film or TV? Yeah. Yeah.
That I would say my advice if that was what you would want to do is two things is like don't take anyone else's advice. Don't listen to anybody. I know because he's the person you really want to advice from that says something like that. Well, you only know, you only know what's right for you. And I would say enjoy where you are as best you can when you're there.
I just think that simple idea of enjoying where you are and not. I mean, I don't always take this advice either, but this idea of like if I get here, then I'll get here and if I get here and then I get here and it's like and we can do that our whole life so we can always be like, this is good. This is great. But like I want more sketches or now okay, I've been on for seven years now. I want to like it just never ends the dissatisfaction of our job and that's motivating and that's good.
But I would say I think the real win is being actually where you are in life and trying as best you again to enjoy it. It's like the hardest thing in the world to do. But the few times I've done it, my whole life has changed. And what do you do when you're like, what is an example of you enjoying your life? Like being like actually, well, for the way it looks like for me, I bet it looks similar for you is that I'm actually like looking around and laughing with the people I get to be with and not like the way.
Worrying. Yes, just like being in being in my body in real in real space and time, I know it sounds esoteric, but as far as career advice, who fucking knows like in five years, we may have to do fucking comedy on the moon and TV will be on your phone and books will be a snack that you eat and like we don't like who knows what's going to be in the how we're going to make con. I mean, I'm doing a podcast. I know. So like what, you know, if you told me I didn't even know what podcasts were.
I know. And by the way, it's one of the best ones award winning crazy. So as far as career, who knows? Okay. Yeah, whatever.
Okay. Okay. It's not as good advice. No, it was. I'm going to live in the moment.
I don't know. I enjoy the moment. Yeah. Enjoy it. Yeah.
Which game was it? It's a game where you tell someone to pretend they're a crackster about something. I can't wait. Okay. Yes.
And I'm going to, I watched Fred and I loved it so much and he did a lot of stuff that I liked that I might incorporate into mine because it's so good. But maybe you go first. Okay, I'll go first. Did you remind people that didn't listen to the Fred Arms episode Fred and I, it's a great game where we play where, well, I don't know if we play it, but we just, I made him. They go, no, no, no.
Big red note. Where you get a subject and you have to talk for a minute as if you were an expert. I have like older than that. It's from 2004. Okay.
Okay. So you have to try and you have to re try to be convincing. You have to be, you can't be like jokey. You have to be like, you're giving a talk on this thing. Okay.
Okay. Yes. Okay. Yes. Okay.
You are an expert on corn. Okay. Three, two, one. Before you start talking about the individual varieties of corn, you really have to understand what corn means to America and what corn means to America is a sense of community. It means that we as a nation are coming together to create a crop that means we will be okay.
Corn represents safety and security. And so the varieties of which I'll talk about all of them today. Of course. They in many ways represent our relationship to corn in general, how we've gotten to know it, how we've gotten to grow it. Right.
And, and how we use that incredible crop, which has sustained our forefathers, right, how we've used it to find out about ourselves. So let's get started first with. You got so good. That's really good. I felt like I was listening.

You drink it, you drink it, you drink it, you numb yourself in the pain, but there's an emotional experience. Yeah. The beauty of penicillin is that it gives you all of the benefits of alcohol without the hangover and the emotional moments, you know, and a lot of people don't know this, but in 1879, Jeffrey L. Sillen.
He goes, he goes, what are we going to do, right? He figures this out. And then he goes, how do we get it in people? Something like a pen. And that's actually penicillin was backwards also the creation of the syringe.

And I failed. And he goes, what are we going to do? What are we going to do? And that's one of the biggest questions in science. That is one of the biggest questions in science.
That is one of the biggest questions in science. Whatever something is an obstacle has arrived. Every major scientist in history has said, what are we going to do? And so that's, you know, and I'll tell you what we're going to do here today. Wrap this up.

Thank you to Amy Poehler. I'm so inspired by you. I'm serious. You have to do it to people all day long. It's almost like what you do at this podcast.
And I think it's ridiculous to get people compliments because it sucks and it hurts. It makes me feel weird when I get a compliment. So I like to attack with it. And you don't like it either. You don't like it either.
I'm not gonna make it an attitude. Yes, you deserve it. You are powerful. You are smart. You have a good family.
You have created a world for yourself. You did podcasting for a week and then got awards. You are insane. You're so funny. That's an L, you are an example of how it's supposed to be.
And so many comedians in the world have you to think for the platform you gave them. I'll tell you. Yeah, OK. And I just want to say a couple of things. And Amy Poehler, the longevity of what you've done.
To start where you started and then get to here from SNL. They go, OK, she does not know what. Now what? We're rising right here. We got you back.
I'm marching back. Dying, dying, dying, dying, dying of laughter. You create stars. You create stars. They want the people on that show with you.
It's Nick Offerman. It's Aubrey Plaza. And you're with them and you're playing back and forth. And the people are laughing. We've got the feet.
Don't turn it off. Don't touch it. We've cut the feet. You did. We've cut the feet long ago.
Don't look at the clock. The clock's bright, blinking red. A woman just wrote WTF. And I say a woman because it's just this is what's here. I have a button under my desk and I just press it.
It's a security button. It's a security button. And you know what? I want to drag me out of here. You should be on every one of my resume.
You get a lot. You're getting upset? OK. OK. It's time to go.
Here I go. OK. OK. I want to say a shout out. Quick shout out to my mom, to all the Latinos out there.
Keep crying them, baby. We are not going anywhere. You do need to eat. And that's, you know what I mean? My sister is on the way.
