-Let me just say, you look like a million bucks.
-What? -You look fit
and you look trim. -Thank you.
-And a lot of people -- -Spanx is working.
-The Spanx are working. [ Laughter ]
'Cause you have two little girls.
And I feel like with dads, it could go either way.
Like, you have kids and you just give up.
-I have small children, and they keep you on your toes.
-They keep you on your toes. -I've thought about giving up.
-Yeah. -I don't know. I haven't slept.
I don't where I am right now.
-I guess you're running around a lot.
-Right now. -Beautiful girls.
-But, yeah, they're sweeties. -Look at those two.
[ Cheers and applause ] -The sweetest.
-That right there --
that is a Kenan Thompson face if I've ever seen one.
-Come on. She is a ham. That's Georgia.
And that's Gianna, the little one.
-Georgia and Gianna.
-Little one's about to start walking.
It's the best. -There you go.
They're off -- and off they go. -Yeah.
-You were having this --
you have, obviously, a beautiful wife.
You have two kids. And you are in your 17th season
at "Saturday Night Live." -Oh, my gosh, it's a blessing.
[ Cheers and applause ] Thank you.
It's a blessing, man. I mean, I would say they same.
We're two very, very blessed gentlemen.
-Yes, we are. -Especially the fact that you
get to, like, stay so close. -Yeah.
-We get to work, and we have a wife and two kids.
And it's, you know, we have great job here in 30 Rock.
But the fact that you've graduated
and you still can stay around, like, it's really --
-It's not bad. The other crazy thing is, of course,
I remember -- I think you came in my third year,
I think, was your first year. -Mm-hmm.
-But you had already done more sketches
than almost anyone on Earth.
-Well, that's thanks to Nickelodeon.
-Yeah. -Yeah.
[ Cheers and applause ] -So...
-Yeah.
-You were on "All That."
-Yes, I was. [ Cheers and applause ]
-And -- -I sure was.
-Here we are there. That's a popular character.
-Yeah, Pierre Escargot. [ Cheers and applause ]
-Did you -- did you feel -- when you came in to "SNL" --
and, obviously, it's as intense and stressful
as everybody says -- did that help?
Did you think, "Oh, I've done sketches before"?
Or were you as terrified as everyone else?
-It only helped on Saturday. -Yeah.
-Because I was ready for this kind of thing.
Like, the cameras are here,
and I knew who to play to at home.
[ Light laughter ]
But the writing part of it, I found that really difficult,
'cause I didn't have to write at Nickelodeon.
-Yeah. -We would just ad lib
and then they would throw stuff in the script.
But I really wished, like, I had, you know, finished college
and, you know, like, learned how to write.
'Cause it took me a while. Like, the first sketch I wrote
was, like, in my fifth season or something.
-Really? I didn't realize it was that long.
I mean, you did go to comedy college, it should be noted.
-Yes. -And now you're giving that gift
to a whole new cast.
-And now the babies are bringing the show back.
-A new generation of "All That." -Look at that.
There's a whole new cast. It's so awesome.
[ Applause ] -So -- Look at -- look at --
look at their faces!
-Do they -- -The sweetest.
-I mean, obviously, based on their age, did they
have any sense of what "All That" was?
Is that a show that's still on to a place where they could --
-Nickelodeon's done really well with keeping it around.
-Uh-huh. -Keeping it in, like,
you know, younger kids' minds.
And, like, they're always reintroducing it.
Like, '90s nostalgia and stuff like that.
So, yeah, they're hyper-aware. But they're also
super professional and super sweet.
And they support each other in the greatest way.
So if you got Instagram, go follow them all
because it will brighten up your day.
They are the sweetest little kids.
And they're so on their thing.
They're way more professional than I was at that age.
[ Light laughter ] It's unbelievable.
-I want to talk about your professionalism really quick.
And I'm glad you brought it up. -Interesting.
[ Laughter ] Sure.
-'Cause I have to take issue with something you did.
-Is that right? -Yeah.
-Mm. -You played a character
this week called Thunderstick.
-Oh, yes, yes. -On the show.
-Part of the first mixed race royal couple.
-Yeah. -Yeah, that's right.
-Phoebe Waller-Bridge was a royal, and you were...
-She was great.
-...her new husband, Thunderstick.
-That's right. -And people might not know this.
But this studio is obviously empty on the weekends.
-Yeah, because you work Monday through --
-Thursday. -Should we tell people that?
-Yeah, go for it.
And so you work right down them hall --
-So you give us the gracious -- out of your heart
to let us shoot in your studio. -Nobody ever asks.
You just come here on -- yeah. -Yeah.
-Uninvited, people come. -You're very kind.
-And, you know, and the only thing I ask is, like,
respect the desk. You know what I mean?
-I feel you. The desk -- -You get that.
-Yeah. -This is my home.
-For sure. -Without the desk I'm nothing.
-You have fought to establish this.
-Yes. -Yes.
-And you were filming in this studio.
-I was. -And you sent me a photo.
-Well, I wanted you to know that we were here.
-Yeah.
And you tell me if you think this is professional.
[ Light laughter ] -Sure.
Let's see.
[ Laughter ]
[ Cheers and applause ] -What --
No, no, no.
[ Applause continues ]
I just wanted to leave you a little gift.
-Is that what you want these children --
[ Laughter ] -I would love for them
to have that kind of relationship
with their co-workers, yes.
