-I'm so excited that everybody is going to see this special.
I saw one of the -- You did seven shows at Radio City.
I was lucky enough to be at one of them.
It's an incredible hour.
And you just wrapped up your tour last night
in Jacksonville, Florida.
-Yes.
It's been about a solid year from the last May
in Portland, Maine, to Jacksonville, Florida.
-That's great. -The opposite of Maine.
-Absolutely. -Absolutely.
And we did a show at the Florida theater.
And that's the end of the "Kid Gorgeous" tour.
-Congratulations on that. -Thank you.
-I heard that someone asked you why comedians
make fun of Florida when you were in Florida.
-Yes.
I met a very nice young woman, 16-year-old girl,
came up to me after the show.
And she said, "I want to be a comedy writer.
I want to write at 'SNL.'"
And I said, "I used to write there."
And she said, "I know.
That's why I'm talking to you about it."
She said, "why do comedians always go after Florida?"
And I was like, "Huh, that's a good point."
[ Laughter ]
"We kind of do." She's like, "Yes, you do."
She said, "There was a Jeremy Renner sketch
when he hosted 'SNL' where he played the mayor of Tampa."
"And when he said, 'I'm the mayor of Tampa,'
everyone laughed automatically."
[ Laughter ]
And I said to her like -- I said,
"Well, it's not fair that we laugh at Florida."
I said, "Comedy writers are often lazy.
And so it's like a good example of a place when you need --"
you know, if you had a lot of paper towels, I'd be like,
"Hey, Seth, what are you, Costco?" You know?
Not a good joke. Not a good joke.
But it's easy, right? -Yeah.
[ Laughter ]
-So Florida is the Costco of upsetting people, you know?
[ Laughter ]
Like, it's just everything at once.
You'd never make Florida on purpose.
You'd never put it together, like --
like if it was a dinner party,
you wouldn't be like, "Hey, you know who we should invite?
A bunch of elderly Jewish people
and some really cool gay people from South Beach,
and a bunch of conservative Cubans
and a woman that looks like Bret 'The Hitman' Hart
driving a fan boat
and a possum and an alligator and 12 serial killers
and the richest people in the world trying not to pay taxes."
And at the end of the dinner party,
they decide who the president is.
You wouldn't form it. -You wouldn't form it.
[ Cheers and applause ]
-But I love Florida.
[ Laughter ]
-Oh, wow.
I see what you did there. -You see what I did?
-You got out of it. -Restored goodwill.
-You mentioned they decide who the president is.
Are you surprised that espionage might be the thing
that brings down the Trump presidency?
-That's the weirdest thing to me.
Is that like -- I don't follow the news that well,
but there's a Russia thing or whatever.
Like, if you told me like,
"Oh, why do you think the game show host
who accidentally became president got impeached?"
I'd be like, "I don't know, just 'cause?" You know?
I'd never think, like, it was high-stakes espionage.
It's like if they arrested Godzilla.
And it's like, "We got Godzilla."
And it's like, "Oh, for burning down the city?"
Like, "No, tax evasion."
[ Laughter ]
He said his -- his apartment was his office.
[ Laughter ]
I shouldn't have said that. I did that. That's not good.
-That's how you know.
-Yeah, I work out of my apartment.
-We used to work together,
as that 16-year-old girl in Florida pointed out.
We were on "SNL" together.
And you hosted, congratulations, such a great episode.
-Oh, thank you. That was very, very fun.
[ Cheers and applause ] -I was so excited to watch.
You posted a photo of when Jon Hamm hosted "SNL."
-Yeah.
-We all dressed up like "Mad Men"-era writers.
-Yes.
-And we got drunk in the day.
-All of you did. I didn't. -Yeah.
And then we went in to pitch dressed like this.
-Which is normally like -- pitch,
I would say is a mundane meeting at the end of Monday.
Everyone's pretty tired.
It's normally, kind of, all business and a little fun.
And we got fully dressed up as "Mad Men" characters.
A lot of people forgot to do it,
and so they threw together like pieces of wigs and dresses.
Marika Sawyer just had a tie.
We were all smoking and showed up to pitch drunk,
and Jon Hamm is there for his first time ever.
-Yeah.
-Like, and it was like Comic-Con, but alcoholic.
[ Laughter ]
-Also, Jon Hamm was dressed like modern-day Jon Hamm.
-Exactly. -Which was very jarring to us,
'cause we knew him as Don Draper,
and he was wearing like a St. Louis Blues baseball hat.
-Yeah, he was dressed like a person.
And we were like, "Oh, you're not 'Mad Men' like us."
[ Laughter ]
-A lot of attention has been paid for you outing
how Colin Jost used to look, with that weird...
-Was that a secret that Jost had a beard?
-I don't know. -I never knew that.
He had long hair and a beard when I met him.
-I think just people were paying less attention to him.
And then they looked back in time and were like,
"That's a weird choice."
-Oh, I thought the beard looked nice.
-He's getting a lot of heat for it.
I thought it was --
I mean, we always thought he was a handsome guy.
-He's getting heat for it?
-He's getting a lot of heat for it.
-Yeah, there's not enough going on.
[ Laughter ]
I think he looks great with his beard.
-I agree. I don't even know why I even brought it up.
-You know, I'm going to grow a little thin mustache.
-Oh, you are?
-I'm inspired by him, yeah. -Just a real thin one.
-Just real John Waters thing. -The John Waters, yeah.
-Yeah, exactly. [ Laughter ]
