Just making sure this is the table.
[SLAPPING TABLE]
No, this is a table.
There's no box here.
Nobody's in here.
OK.
Yep.
We're not scaring you.
Good.
Unless you want us to.
No, thank you.
Would you like to be scared?
Nope, I'm all good.
It's Halloween time.
It is, but I don't like that kind of Halloween.
I like funny Halloween.
I see.
Will you be dressing up for Halloween?
(HESITATES) Sure.
[LAUGHTER]
Whenever there's that many syllables in that word,
that's not true.
I have to trick-or-treat because I've got kids.
That happened already.
What?
Halloween was last week.
Oh, Halloween was last week.
What am I thinking?
[LAUGHTER]
Oh, you guys know that, right?
[APPLAUSE]
I can come back out.
Merry Christmas.
Then I can fix it.
[LAUGHTER]
I never know what day it is here.
So what did you do for New Year's?
Yeah.
[LAUGHTER]
Did you have fun?
I was disappointed in your entrance.
I felt like you gave such a great entrance
when Melissa McCarthy was--
It's true.
--guest hosting for me.
It's true.
It's the best entrance I've ever had in my life.
It's the best entrance any anyone has ever--
Everybody deserves their name in lights
at least once in their life, behind them, with--
doing that whatever this move is.
Doing that thing.
What is that?
Is that the Orange Justice?
Is it?
Yes it is.
Is it, children?
Is it the Orange Justice?
Yes.
Thank you.
You knew what to do.
I knew what to do because my son does that.
He does that, and then a little clap.
And you gotta make a stink face.
Yeah.
[LAUGHTER]
Yeah, that's what I did.
That was pretty impressive.
It was really fun.
Yeah, you didn't want to do that for me?
Here's the thing--
I'd be happy to do that for you.
But?
At home.
I see.
Not here.
You know what?
I would love to come to your home and have you do it for me.
Would you?
Yeah.
Not at your house--
No.
--At my house.
No, I'm not letting you set that up at my house.
[LAUGHTER]
By the way, that's something that would happen at my house
and people would be like, oh.
There's so much mayhem in my house,
they'd be like, oh, that's great.
We've been texting recently because I
was hoping you were going to get this little doggie that
needed a home.
I know.
But you didn't get it.
I didn't, but he--
--got a good home.
He got an amazing home.
Yeah, our dog's brother needed a home, and--
And Ellen and I were texting to make sure--
and I really wanted to get it, and I'm not
going to name any names, but someone that I live with
said we can't have any more dogs.
[LAUGHTER]
So I wanted to make sure that he went--
I have four kids, and a dear friend
of mine, Molly [INAUDIBLE] has three of the most amazing kids.
And it's the most loving home.
And he now lives with them.
Yeah, our doggy's brother.
And we keep-- and they look exactly alike.
They do.
They're the same beautiful chocolate.
Yeah, they need to meet.
I know.
I was hoping that we could have a doggie reunion when I'm here,
just like, I'm the matchmaker.
[LAUGHTER]
I don't know about a matchmaker.
Is that weird?
Yeah, because they're brother and sister.
Yeah.
That's weird.
Yeah.
That would be weird.
Yeah.
It'd be weird if they got married.
[LAUGHTER]
Because they're brother and sister.
Well, they're not going to get-- they're dogs.
[LAUGHTER]
Dogs don't get married anymore?
No, not anymore.
Huh.
They stopped that.
[CHUCKLING]
They put a--
They put an end to that in the 1900s?
Yeah.
Got it.
You're here, and Kristen Wiig was
supposed to be here with you.
She's not feeling well, so she's--
She's not.
She's here in spirit, my little buddy.
Yes, she is.
She's right there.
She's right here.
She wouldn't have a chair.
She'd just be standing.
Nope, just sitting right here.
I'm putting my hand around her waist.
Oh, that's so sweet.
Hey, buddy.
Oh, that's a tall waist.
She's very long.
She's long in the waist.
She's built like an asparagus.
[LAUGHTER]
Hey, buddy.
Like an asparagus.
I was thinking like a--
anyway.
So anyway, she's your pal.
And you met on SNL, or before that?
We actually met before that.
We both went to the Groundlings Theater out here in L.A.
And we met at a friend's baby shower.
But it was thrown at Melissa McCarthy's, who we were also
in the Groundlings with.
Oh, wow.
So I think we met making, like, dumb guesses
about the size of someone's stomach, or something
like that--
baby shower games.
Yeah.
But we never worked together until SNL.
And it was right after--
I was on maternity leave, and I was actually watching the show.
It was the Christmas show.
And she did the Two A-holes sketch with Jason Sudeikis.
And I remember watching, and I thought, I want to go back,
and I want to play with her.
[LAUGHTER]
It looked so fun.
Well, the two of you together are hilarious.
I have a favorite sketch, but I think
it's the same-- what is your favorite sketch?
Is it the one where we're game show ladies
and it's the super showcase?
Yes.
And we just can't keep it together.
Right.
Yeah.
She couldn't keep it together the minute we read it out loud.
And she couldn't keep it together at dress rehearsal.
But then we started doing it on air,
and I thought, OK, we got all the giggles out.
And as soon as that golf cart came out, she lost it.
And I knew-- because there's something--
when you're old friends with someone,
do you come up with those voices that you do?
They're meaningless.
We call each other gurhl.
And I don't know why, but we say hey gurhl, and it's that voice.
I don't know what it is.
No, the voices are so stupid.
They're so stupid, and it just makes us laugh.
I understand.
And then once you start laughing--
It's over.
But it's so fun to watch that, too.
Yeah.
And she's not-- some people can fabricate the laugh,
but that's someone who really usually held it together,
although maybe not every time we were together.
Well, both of y'all are so hilarious.
So you were just on recently doing Kamala Harris.
Now, when you get that call to go back
and to do Kamala Harris, are you excited, are you nervous?
How do you feel?
It's all of the above.
It's sort of like--
it's joy and fear wrapped all in one.
I mean, I love SNL.
It was really-- Saturday Night Live is my first love, truly.
But I wasn't prepared.
I got called on, like, a Tuesday, like, what are you
doing this weekend?
I was like, oh my God.
So I was saying it feels like I have this underground bunker
that I put my super SNL suit on, and I press the button,
and I just get shot out of a cannon to NBC.
Like, kids, mommy's gotta go to work.
And then I go to my second--
my alter ego is me on SNL.
You obviously had done her before, and--
No, I've never done her before.
Oh, really?
No.
She-- I had a feeling I was going to get the call.
I mean, look at us.
Yeah.
[LAUGHTER]
So there were quite a few people for a while saying,
I've been reading online--
and that's how it works now.
I feel like if a lot of people say something,
then you get a phone call.
It was right before my birthday, and it was it was Lorne.
And I thought, it's either about my birthday
or it's about Kamala.
And I said, he never calls me on my birthday, so--
yeah.
It's fantastic.
And she tweeted at you that she hopes that you get
to do her for eight more years.
How cool was that?
Yeah, that's very cool.
That really blew my mind.
That was amazing.
Yeah, yeah.
[APPLAUSE]
And what a great sense of humor about it all.
Yeah.
It's, like, great.
All right, we're going to take a break, and we'll be back.
