00:00What does it feel like to be back? A lot of cast members describe like these almost stress pangs when you get back to 8H. Do you relate with that?
00:08I mean, of course. Always a little stressed when you're here, but I think it's also a lot of like exciting, I don't know, it's such great people. It feels kind of normal in a weird way. Not this part, but being in 8H and rehearsing, it's just like, it's what we all did, so.
00:24What has your week been like? Have you had any interesting run-ins with former cast members? It seems like everybody's here.
00:31Yeah, no, it's been, it kind of has felt like a big sleepover that is going on for days. Even this morning, we were all there rehearsing and it was really like, yeah, it just felt very easy. And you know, even the cast members I never worked with, we all kind of speak the same language, so it's very breezy, yeah.
00:52Do you have a sketch from your time on the cast that never made it to air that you're still bothered by?
00:57I wouldn't say I have any that I'm bothered by, but definitely I have some where I'm like, that should stay in there and I hope no one ever sees it.
01:06So you're grateful for the cut?
01:08I'm like, let it stay cut, you know?
01:11My last question, is there a piece of advice or a note from Lorne Michaels that you've taken with you throughout your career?
01:17Yeah, you know what, I always think he used to say, give yourself somewhere to go. Like, don't start at 100, start an easier way up. And I think that's good to keep in mind, you know?
