-Bobby Moynihan right here, ladies and gentlemen.
[ Cheers and applause ] I want to talk about this.
-Oh, yeah.
-Did you get to talk to Margot? I know Margot hosted the show
"SNL," when you were a cast member.
-Yeah, she was wonderful when she came.
I had written a sketch called "The Librarian"
that I tried to get on like many, many times.
And she came and she knocked it out of the park.
And she nailed it. Yeah.
-What do you remember about "Saturday Night Live"?
Were you nervous when you first got on the show?
-No, I was fine.
[ Laughter ] -Wow! No story here.
You were telling me backstage, was it the week before
or the night before, you just got on
"Saturday Night Live." Wasn't announced.
-Yeah, yeah, the night before my first Monday.
So it was the Sunday night before I'm supposed to go in.
My life's dream has now come true.
I couldn't believe it.
And I went to Upright Citizens Brigade,
which they had a show there called Asssscat,
and we would perform there.
And I went, and I was like, "Oh, my gosh!"
Like, "I'm gonna start 'SNL' tomorrow.
This is amazing." And I was in my own head.
And five minutes before the show started,
Robin Williams walks in.
And he's just -- they're just like,
"Hey, do you mind if Robin performs with you?"
And I was like, "What?!"
And Robin Williams showed up and did a show with us.
And it was, like, the second-best thing
in the world that could have happened.
-Yeah, "Saturday Night Live."
You're like, "Wait. What is going on with my life?"
-Exactly. And then, after the show,
Robin grabbed me by the shoulders and was like,
"I have an idea. Give me your clothes.
I'm gonna go into work for you tomorrow.
You just got 'Saturday Night Live.'
Wouldn't it be hilarious if I went into work for you."
And I remember instantly thinking,
"Oh, no. This is a terrible idea."
[ Laughter ] I do not want my first day
at "SNL" to have Lorne Michaels see Robin Williams walk in
in a Bart Simpson T-shirt. I was like, "No, this is --"
Don't do bits the first day at work.
-And I'm like, "How do you tell Robin Williams no?
And he was 100% serious.
And then, I was terrified. He gave me his number.
And I was like, "Oh, no. This is gonna happen."
And he never called, and I was really happy.
[ Laughter ]
-Yeah, he probably thought about you, said, "Oh, I'm gonna
let the kid become a star first."
-Yeah, I think he thought it was a fun idea,
and maybe he saw the complete and total panic in my face.
-Yeah. I want to talk about this, by the way.
Look at this.
"Not All Sheep are Boring!"
Congratulations, buddy. You wrote this book.
What inspired you to write this?
-I have a daughter, 5-year-old daughter,
and a lot of bedtime reading
and started talking about counting sheep.
And I was like, "Why do people do that?
Why do we count sheep, specifically, to fall asleep?
Are they all boring?"
And I wanted to get to the bottom of it.
-Yeah. [ Laughter ]
Wow. You really solved the case.
-Yeah, I tried to.
Turns out they're boring, a little boring sometimes.
-Yeah. There's a lot of --
What do you call it? -Dedication. Yeah.
If a publisher gives you the chance
to have a thank-you section in a book,
you use it to its full potential.
So, as you can see -- -Yeah, you thanked
a lot of people here. -Yeah, many.
And then there's also a website at the bottom that continues
people who I forgot to thank in the sheep dedication.
So you can go to that website. There's a lot more on there.
[ Laughs]
-I mean, you thank --
-I thank everybody from my high school buddies,
my high school teachers. -Keanu Reeves?
What has he done for you?
-For me personally? -For this book.
-I mean, entertained me my entire life.
For this book? Nothing.
[ Laughter ]
-He has nothing to do with this book, Keanu Reeves?
-Keanu Reeves probably doesn't know this book exists,
and I'm fine with that because he's a nice man
who treats people well, and I say, "Thank you, Keanu."
-Oh, there you go. I love that.
-Yeah. [ Cheers and applause ]
-He's a really good guy.
[ Both laugh ]
-You thank George Lucas. Do you know him?
-Not personally, no. -There you go, okay.
[ Laughter ]
The beverage peach Snapple.
-Yes, thank you very much. I love it.
It's a very delicious drink.
-I love you put "the beverage peach."
Is there another peach Snapple?
-Oh, just in case you thought it was the person.
[ Laughter ]
-You thanked the beverage.
-Mr. Peach Snapple. -Mr. Peach Snapple, yeah.
And so if you go to peoplewhodidnotfit
inthededication ofnotallsheepareboring...
-No, it's very easy to read, Jimmy.
[ Laughter ]
-That's a great -- how'd you get that website?
It wasn't taken? -It wasn't taken!
Can you believe it? [ Laughter ]
-Usually an author, you know,
you'll have the photo of the author,
you know, in the book.
The photo you chose is this. -Yes.
[ Audience "Awws" ]
-That is -- -That is the boy I hired
to write the book. -No, no, no.
[ Laughter ] He's very talented.
-Yes. -He wrote this for you.
-Yeah, he's very good. He's 5.
He's an author now. -His name is Peach Snapple.
-Peach Snapple.
-Pete Schnapple.
Yeah, I can see the confusion. -Yes.
-But it looks like you as a child.
-I mean, nothing has changed.
-You look the same, buddy. Come on.
Well, this guy --
[ Laughter ]
Stop making that face.
[ Laughter and applause ]
This boy would be very proud of this man.
He really would. Congratulations, Bobby Moynihan.
Thank you for coming on the show.
-Thank you so much, man. It's such a pleasure, as always.
-"Not All Sheep are Boring!" is out tomorrow.
