-Mikey Day, it is great to see you.
You know I'm a fan of yours.
You look great in a suit, buddy.
I never really see you in a suit.
-Aw, thanks.
-Here you are, season six on "SNL."
-Yeah.
-And crushing it as a cast member as well as a writer.
-So nice of you. -You're great.
Do you find yourself, after six seasons,
still star-struck sometimes or...?
-Yeah, occasionally.
It's usually people who are at a taping
that you don't know are going to be there.
The one interaction I had that was, like --
I still think about, in that I -- it was so awkward.
I was -- It was the season finale on my first season
as a cast member, and they were setting up the set
for a sketch that took place on "Jurassic Park: The Ride."
And I played someone who worked on the ride.
So I had a khaki shirt with the Jurassic Park logo on it.
And I'm just standing there, and I hear someone say,
"Hey, I know that."
And I look and it's Steven Spielberg...
[ Laughter ] ...who, like --
I grew up a Spielberg kid, I mean,
so instrumental in my upbringing.
So, to go from zero to Steven Spielberg --
You're like... -Yeah.
And what did you say? -I said --
And I don't know why this came out of my mouth.
And I think about it every once in a while
alone and just start cringing. [ Laughter ]
He goes, "I know that," and is pointing at the logo.
And I said, "Yeah, the sketch doesn't take place
in the actual park. It takes place on the ride."
[ Laughter ]
Why? Dude! -Wow, wow.
-Dude! -Wow.
-That's so weird. Why did I -- I don't know why.
-That's too much detail. What did he do?
-He didn't say, "Hey, does this take place in the actual park?"
"Oh, no, it takes place on the ride."
-No, but how do you that react to that as any human being?
-I recall him just, like, smiling like a normal person
would and then kind of walking away.
[ Laughter ]
And I thought about it for so long.
It's so dumb. What?
-What if you went back in time, and could say something?
Could you think -- What would you --
-I mean I've -- Anything but what I said, no.
I've thought about it, and there's a line --
"I've thought about it." I'm such a dork.
[ Laughter ] There's a line in the movie
where John Hammond, the old man who created Jurassic Park, says,
"Spared no expense."
So, in hindsight, I wish I gestured to the set,
which was kind of an elaborate set --
it had, like, a staircase and stuff --
and said, "Spared no expense."
-Oh, yeah. Spielberg comes out and he goes, "I know that."
And you go --
-Wait, he's pointing at my shirt.
-Yeah, okay, so -- -Go back, go back.
-Yeah, no problem. [ Laughter ]
-Take two.
-How tall is Steven, do you think?
-Um... -You're standing or sitting?
-I'm standing. Should we stand? -Let's re-create it.
Let's re-create it.
-I'm literally looking like this.
-Yep. -And then --
-And I'm over here. And I go...
"Hey, I know that."
-"Spared no expense."
[ Cheers and applause ]
-"You're gonna make it." -"Thank you."
-"You're gonna make it, kid.
I want you to be in the next 10 movies."
-"Oh, I'm gonna be in all your movies?"
-"The rest of my career." -"Oh, my God, thank you."
-"I love you and I love that attitude
and I love what you said." -"Thank you.
Did you say attitude and point towards my waist area?"
[ Laughter ] -"Yeah, I like your attitude."
-"I like your attitude." -"I like your attitude."
[ Laughter ] -"Thank you.
Hey, man, I like your attitude."
-"Yeah, I like yours too."
[ Laughter ]
-That's a new thing people are doing.
"Hey, dude, I like your attitude."
[ Laughter ]
Alright. -"Thank my father, I guess."
[ Laughter ]
-"Thank my father"? -Why would you say that?
[ Laughter ]
-"I had the weirdest experience with Steven Spielberg.
He said, 'I like your attitude,'
and I said 'Thank my father.'"
[ Laughter ]
"And now I'm still in all of his movies."
[ Laughter ]
Oh, my God.
-Yeah, an awkward, more awkward.
-I know. -Let's talk about your show.
"Is It Cake?" -Yes.
-It's the number-one show. Congratulations.
It's a big hit. -Right. Thank you.
-On Netflix. "Is It Cake?"
People compete to see if they can fake each other out.
And you have to slice it.
You're the deciding judge.
You go, "Is it cake?"
-"Is it cake?" -Yeah, and --
[ Laughter ] -It's really complicated.
-Well, here's why I would say, you could argue that it could be
a little nerve-wracking -- because if you mess up
the slice of the cake,
it's not like you have 10 of these cakes.
They're pretty elaborate cakes. -Right.
These bakers, who are very talented,
bake it for like eight hours, I think.
So they want the cut to be right.
So, I have, like, an ear piece,
and they're like, "Alright, here comes the cut."
-"Hey, here comes the cut. Drum roll."
-And then you just have to slice it right
and, like, wedge it out.
They're like, "This is a standard cuttin' wedge, bud.
You just want to cut it and wedge it out."
-But now you're an expert at cake cutting.
-I mean, I'd think so, but I got, like, a random message
on Instagram that's like, "You cut cake like an 8-year-old."
-Alright. [ Laughter ]
-I'm like, "Well, that's all I have to do,
and I messed that up?" -The Internet remains champion.
-The Internet remains champion. -It's undefeated.
Yeah, yeah, undefeated. I want to show everyone a clip.
Here's Mikey Day hosting "Is It Cake?"
Take a look at this.
-Is it cake?
[ Dramatic music plays ]
Ah. I'm just seeing where I want to slice this here.

[ Clink ] -No!
-Are you kidding?!
-It's a conch!
[ Laughter ]
-It's a conch.
Andrew, it's not cake. You did it, buddy.
You fooled the judges. You're up for the win.
-Thank you, guys. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
-Kelly thought it was five. Let's see.
-I don't want to hear any noise.
-Let's find out if this is cake.
