You may know Kristen from SNL, from Bridesmaids, from Barb and Star, from Palm Royale. We're going to talk about a lot of stuff today. We're going to talk about working together on a show at the same time. We're going to talk about Carol Burnett and how much we love Carol and everything she does. We're going to talk about the real housewives of Salt Lake City and why I should start watching it immediately. And we're going to talk about her new movie, Gabby's Dollhouse. So that's out. And we're going to get into all of that good stuff. But we always like to start our shows with someone that knows our guest and can speak well of our guests behind their back and can give me a question to ask our guests. And we have another celeb. I mean, another comedy great, another former SNL cast member who I had the privilege to share the stage with. And that is Bill Hader. You all know Bill Hader. Barry, what I need to say, you know, you know Bill. Bill? Bill? Can you hear me? I'm going to get my cans on. This episode is brought to you by Zoom. Many of us have been there. The calls where you zone out for one second and miss six key points. The quick check-ins that are anything but quick. Because here's the thing. Every conversation creates work. With Zoom, though, the conversation itself can actually move work forward. Zoom is now a full system of action that can actually complete work from the context of your existing meetings, calls, and chats. No more post-call panic. No more inbox avalanche. You talked about it. Zoom got it done. Visit zoomahead.com to learn more. Hi. That's a call. It's going good. I'm zooming you from the studio and wig is coming in today. Thank you for doing this. Oh, no problem. Thanks for having me. Of course. I hope I can get I can get you in the stewed. Oh, yeah. I'd love to. How's life? Life's good. We're just like just writing, you know, the girl, you know, Hannah's, you know, 16, Harper's 13, Haley's 11. Yeah, they're great kids. Yeah, just very sweet kids. So very, very lucky. I mean, they play a lot of Joe. My 13 year old yesterday scared the shit out of me. She sent me a I was in bed reading and she sent me a text and I looked at it and it was a picture from underneath my bed. And I go, like, you're under my bed. I was like, oh my God, she was underneath my bed. I was like, what the fuck is wrong with you? And she just was dying laughing. She was like, Oh my God. All right. Good night. Good night. Just like, like just scared me. It was so creepy. I was like, why did you do that? She was like, I don't know. Just get under my bed. She's your child. Yeah, my child, you know, exactly. Okay. So we're going to talk about wig. And you know, I'm so like, I'm getting ready for this interview today with her. And it's like, I don't even know where to start with Kristen. She's so good, so talented. She's done so many things during SNL after SNL. Like she's had this incredible career on her own terms always. I mean, you too have done so much incredible work together on the show and in skeleton twins, which is just beautiful work from the both of you. And I guess, how would you describe Kristen as a, you know, as a friend and a performer? You know, Andy and I had started the show. Jason was already kind of, but we were all kind of in the same.
