You're doing your show from your attic?
Yeah, we worked our way to the
attic. I started in a hallway.
So you're the cameraman.
That's my setup. I got
the iPad on a tripod.
Oh, that's your camera that look at
that. And you even have a lighting setup.
I do my own makeup. My makeup's not
on yet, but I do make up every day.
Can I say something? I think you look
way more handsome without makeup,
honestly. I mean,
gorgeous skin, show it off.
I don't use a lot of
makeup, but I will say.
And what do you mean?
How do you do makeup?
What are you doing?
I like spray some, um, like stuff.
That's like a flesh colored
and like do like this.
And then I put powder up here.
I do a lot of like there's some
eyebrow work that goes into it.
Um, yeah,
I would think you're a guy who
doesn't give a shit about that stuff.
I have you all wrong.
Well, there's this very interesting
thing happening right now,
where there is a younger generation of
people who are not impressed that you're
doing all of it because that's
how they learned it. Right?
Like they have YouTube channels. And
when they hear me complaining, you know,
I haven't had a lighting
person for three months.
None of them ever had a lighting person.
And the funniest thing is I would have
always told people that if you worked at
SNL, you learned how to do
everything in TV production,
because you worked with the best
people, the best sound people,
the best lighting people,
the best costume people.
But the reality is when you're surrounded,
by the best you don't learn anything
because you just defer to them at every
turn. Whereas somebody
who's been, you know,
making a YouTube show for five years,
they have actually gotten better at
lighting and better at sound and better at
where to put the camera.
Whereas I have been completely complacent
in my trust of the people around me to
make me look good.
And what did you say that I'm like just
picking out a shirt now is exhausting
you.
Now, my only goal is not to
repeat a shirt in a week, like
I think I started,
I would like to have a cycle of 12 shirts
and now it's very much shrunk to four
shirts,
Dude. I don't care. I'm wearing
the same fucking tee shirt.
Every show I'm wearing this,
you know, I don't care anymore.
And the other thing is, you know, I'm,
I don't know if you've ever met Wally
Feresten who's our cue card guy, you know,
but my entire career from SNL to our
show is cue cards and the best we can
figure out here is you know
I have a teleprompter app.
So I'm loading, you know,
a 30 page script into a teleprompter app.
And you have to basically decide before
you start rolling the speed you want it
to go. You can't adjust
it on the fly. And so,
whereas I never have to do A
Closer Look twice in the studio
here. There are times where
if it's getting ahead of you,
you can speed up and catch up to the
prompter. But if you've talked too fast,
nothing's worse than all of
a sudden you're going slow,
hoping for the next word.
Also, I got the two year
old and a four year old.
And one of my takeaways from this is they
will have no respect for the idea that
I have to go to an office
to do my job ever again,
nor do they have any respect for a
job that you can do in the attic.
You know what I mean,
wander up.
And,
and it's very hard to tell them daddy's
talking to very important person because
they just don't believe a very important
person would want to talk to you in
your attic.
Daddy's
talking to himself.
