I have to give the SNL crew props - it cannot have been easy to work with me.
I tell people all the time, as I was going through my process of being a comedian or being an actor and a writer at 'SNL,' I tell people that everything you do is all a piece of your puzzle to determine where you're going to end up at.
Seeing the energy of 'SNL' made me want to be a part of it. If that was a job, I thought, that was the job I wanted. That was my plan. Comedy.
If I watch an episode of SNL, and there's one thing that I liked, then that's a good episode.
I always took pictures, but about five or six years ago, I started taking more behind the scenes at SNL, and now I have some 60,000 photos sitting on my laptop.
I am a fan of 'SNL' and a big Jimmy Fallon fan, too.
I think 'SNL' was such a unique thing because it was material you created and you're very comfortable with it, even though the setting was pressure-packed.
I am always so happy to be at 'SNL. ' I still feel like a kid when I'm there, like I can't believe I'm watching them make the show.
When I left college, I was out of work for three years. I had this dream of being on 'SNL,' and that was all I could imagine.
In high school, my goal was to be a writer for SNL, then I got into the acting.
SNL was a dream come true for me. It was a fantastic year. I dont have any regrets.
I didn't realize how much people liked to bash SNL until I was on. I've always just liked it, and I've always watched it and been into it.
The good thing about 'SNL' is that it's the same people every week that you're working with, and we've all become so close and tight because we've worked together so long and so closely together.
I got a fever, and the only prescription is more cowbell.
Obviously Mad TV, SNL are one kind of show, whereas The State belongs to the kind of show that is entirely conceived written and performed by a set group that existed before the TV show.
You start at SNL when you're young and hungry, but I don't want my pro years to be my SNL years.
When certain people hear "'SNL' comedy," rightfully so, you expect it to be a certain kind of goofiness.
SNL is a home. You've got all of your brothers and sisters there, and it's a great time.
Even when I was at 'SNL,' I didn't do impersonations. I always wanted to be the kind of person who could do them - I always thought they were the coolest thing on the show - but I didn't have any experience.
It's definitely like being in some weird sorority. I'm friends with a lot of actresses, but my 'SNL' friends are my closest.
