Speaker 2 (07:31):
You're talking about, Like, I've never heard a bad one.
Speaker 3 (07:35):
If I try it, and I attempt it first of all,
if I if I impersonate you, I'm a fan, you
know what I mean, Like, I literally watch this stuff
and then there hasn't been one where I haven't been
able to get like seventy five percent or more on
you know me, and I feel like I get graded
a little differently. It's like I get the Lebron Great
grade scale, Like, Okay, if if you got like I
(07:59):
don't know, if Mario Chalmers would have dropped like sixty,
you would have been like, oh you one of the greatest,
But Lebron dropped sixty, You're just like, yeah, that's what
you supposed to do.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (08:08):
It's like because I'm so good at it, so when
other people even and I'm not thising nobody, but if
somebody would try to do the same thing, you would
probably give them more props if it didn't if it
wasn't as accurate, just because you're used to mind being
so dead on an accurate So I get you know,
heavy as the head that wears the crown. I guess
like the Denzel is just it's it's untouchable. Yeah, you
(08:30):
notice it. You know it's but it's you know, it's
a couple of people who you know do the Denzel,
but you know they don't do the Denzel like I do.

But they don't, they don't. You've got a scenario for you.

I look, I put the Trump hands up, I put
the Trump mans up.
Speaker 2 (11:13):

Speaker 1 (11:13):
I'm not fun to use in your arsenal of impressions.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
Is he not Lord have mercy. Sounds like you just okay, okay,
what's the next He.
Speaker 5 (11:21):
Just it's pull a string. He's coming and we are

Speaker 2 (11:26):
Little wind up doll.
Speaker 1 (11:27):

Speaker 2 (11:29):
That's so awful.
Speaker 1 (11:31):
It's disrespectful, it's awful. And here we are really.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
Using you for your talents. Hey man, that's he sounds
like day Surety does the same thing. It's all good.
Speaker 4 (11:41):
Was anything that happened now between him and Joe? Does it?
Did it even surprise you?
Speaker 2 (11:47):
At one point?
Speaker 4 (11:48):
Like were just like this is just the day of
the week. No, It like that debate that had to
be insane for you.
Speaker 3 (11:55):
I mean the debate I mean with him and him
and Kamala him and Kamala Harris, Kamala Harris.
Speaker 2 (12:05):
It was that.
Speaker 3 (12:06):
It was they just totally caught me off. God, I
don't know what was happening. This black woman who's not
even black, she's Jamaican. That's that's the extreme Inhale.
Speaker 4 (12:20):
I'm talking about the first debate though, the one where
like Joe is like a vegetable on stage.
Speaker 3 (12:24):
Oh these you can do, Joe? Absolutely, it was damn
I'm getting confused. Now you see it because I'm talking
like wait, wait, Joe Biden, Yeah, come on, man, it
was just ridiculous. It was it was me versus It's tyrant,
it's tire of a man who everybody loves.
Speaker 2 (12:45):
And I just don't get it. You ain't get a lot.
Doesn't make any sense. You know.
Speaker 3 (12:52):
That's the problem, Joe, because you're absolutely so sleepy.
Speaker 2 (12:56):
Now that you're.
Speaker 3 (12:57):
Not in the running anymore, you're not in the White House,
you can I really get the rest you deserve.
Speaker 2 (13:02):
That's what he's doing.
Speaker 3 (13:03):
He can finally get the rest he deserves, the big,
bigger resh.
Speaker 2 (13:07):
Hopefully his rest is bigly, his big lely rested. All
that time that you were in New York, did you
ever run across him? Yeah, I mean I'm mad he
Matt he was Trump was. Trump was nice to me.
Speaker 3 (13:21):
But he knows how to work himself in social spaces,
you know what I'm saying, Like, he knows how to talk.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
So he wasn't a butthole. He just was. You could
tell that he was. Ooh'sing narcissism.
Speaker 3 (13:32):
I mean, but you know, when you're a billionaire, I
mean I get it, I get it.
Speaker 2 (13:37):
I get the narcissism.
Speaker 3 (13:39):
However, what I don't understand is in the middle of
table read, you're pulling your phone out. I mean, like,
this is a great moment for everyone in this room.
My book just hit number one. It's a fantastic moment
for everybody at SNL.
Speaker 2 (13:53):
I was like, what are we doing here in the
middle of the table read.
Speaker 3 (13:58):
He stops reading this sketch, his phone rings, he hears
he has number one, and then it just goes.
Speaker 4 (14:04):
But is that when he did the chicken uh, the
chicken commercial, the chicken commercial on SNL, you know what
I'm talking about, where he's like singing the song.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
I can't remember exactly what it was. I know he did.
Speaker 3 (14:14):
I know we did hotline bling with him.
Speaker 2 (14:17):
No, this was like he was on the cell phone.
Speaker 3 (14:21):
Yeah, I don't know. I wrote that put him out.
It was Will Stephan. Will Stephan wrote that. No brilliant
writer though, because he just you know, he's a Drake fan. Though,
we just Trump wanted to be added to that sketch,
so he requested to be added. So we interesting, we
figured aques yes, we acquiesced.
Speaker 5 (14:43):
He strikes me and I'm sure everybody else. And he's
different than your typical Okay, he's present. We need an impression.
Certainly on SNL that's a key. But any other comedian
maybe they have one, maybe they don't. And there you've
got plenty of them up to him. But the material
he's delivered in his two terms and all of the
years in between, it is legendary.
Speaker 3 (15:04):
They're eating your cats, they're eating the dogs, the pets.
They're turning the pets into hush puppies. That's exactly what's happening.
The pets are turning into appetizers.
Speaker 4 (15:17):
Like because you did Obama, you're so good at Obama. Man,
those two are going at it this last summer.
Speaker 3 (15:23):
Yeah, they were, and you know it was it was
It looked like it was it was Cisco Versus because
you know Obama's got the Cisco head. Now, it was
it was Cisco Versus. Uh a McDonald's every day or
that's what it is. He was serving fries, yeah, what
what Trump was? Yeah, and the drive through and all that,
I'm sure And how many did he eat?
Speaker 2 (15:44):
Oh? Probably way too many.
Speaker 3 (15:46):
Millions millions of fries, eight millions and billions of fries.
Speaker 2 (15:56):
And Obama's probably never had a fry in his life.
Oh well, I'll tell you this.
Speaker 8 (16:01):
I mean maybe on my off day, but I mean regularly,
it's not good for my diet. So, I mean, Michelle
advocates heavily against uh eusey.
Speaker 6 (16:11):
What.
Speaker 3 (16:12):
That was a crazy one to do because it was
so many politics involved with even getting that impression, you
know what I'm saying, So you know, to actually get
it because Fred Ormisen did it at first.
Speaker 2 (16:24):
Fred is great, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (16:26):
But you know they hired me and not two years
and then that's when I came back. I know, thirty seconds,
so we got ten. Now gotta go to break. We're good.

Speaker 2 (07:31):
You're talking about, Like, I've never heard a bad one.
Speaker 3 (07:35):
If I try it, and I attempt it first of all,
if I if I impersonate you, I'm a fan, you
know what I mean, Like, I literally watch this stuff
and then there hasn't been one where I haven't been
able to get like seventy five percent or more on
you know me, and I feel like I get graded
a little differently. It's like I get the Lebron Great
grade scale, Like, Okay, if if you got like I
(07:59):
don't know, if Mario Chalmers would have dropped like sixty,
you would have been like, oh you one of the greatest,
But Lebron dropped sixty, You're just like, yeah, that's what
you supposed to do.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (08:08):
It's like because I'm so good at it, so when
other people even and I'm not thising nobody, but if
somebody would try to do the same thing, you would
probably give them more props if it didn't if it
wasn't as accurate, just because you're used to mind being
so dead on an accurate So I get you know,
heavy as the head that wears the crown. I guess
like the Denzel is just it's it's untouchable. Yeah, you
(08:30):
notice it. You know it's but it's you know, it's
a couple of people who you know do the Denzel,
but you know they don't do the Denzel like I do.
Speaker 4 (08:36):
But they don't, they don't. You've got a scenario for you.
Then this guy just now saw a training day in

She twerks. You know, Taylor can't twerk. She didn't have
a twerker.
Speaker 2 (10:59):
She's a broom. Yeah, well, I'm not going to say that.
I will. You can't like Taylor. Look you can't. I'm

Speaker 3 (11:07):
I'll be the bad guy. Hey, Taylor, I didn't say anything.
I look, I put the Trump hands up, I put
the Trump mans up.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
I don't.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
I'm not fun to use in your arsenal of impressions.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
Is he not Lord have mercy. Sounds like you just okay, okay,
what's the next He.
Speaker 5 (11:21):
Just it's pull a string. He's coming and we are

Speaker 2 (11:26):
Little wind up doll.
Speaker 1 (11:27):

Speaker 1 (11:29):
Isn't that awful?
Speaker 2 (11:29):
That's so awful.
Speaker 1 (11:31):
It's disrespectful, it's awful. And here we are really.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
Using you for your talents. Hey man, that's he sounds
like day Surety does the same thing. It's all good.
Speaker 4 (11:41):
Was anything that happened now between him and Joe? Does it?
Did it even surprise you?
Speaker 2 (11:47):
At one point?
Speaker 4 (11:48):
Like were just like this is just the day of
the week. No, It like that debate that had to
be insane for you.
Speaker 3 (11:55):
I mean the debate I mean with him and him
and Kamala him and Kamala Harris, Kamala Harris.
Speaker 2 (12:05):
It was that.
Speaker 3 (12:06):
It was they just totally caught me off. God, I
don't know what was happening. This black woman who's not
even black, she's Jamaican. That's that's the extreme Inhale.
Speaker 4 (12:20):
I'm talking about the first debate though, the one where
like Joe is like a vegetable on stage.
Speaker 3 (12:24):
Oh these you can do, Joe? Absolutely, it was damn
I'm getting confused. Now you see it because I'm talking
like wait, wait, Joe Biden, Yeah, come on, man, it
was just ridiculous. It was it was me versus It's tyrant,
it's tire of a man who everybody loves.
Speaker 2 (12:45):
And I just don't get it. You ain't get a lot.
Doesn't make any sense. You know.
Speaker 3 (12:52):
That's the problem, Joe, because you're absolutely so sleepy.
Speaker 2 (12:56):
Now that you're.
Speaker 3 (12:57):
Not in the running anymore, you're not in the White House,
you can I really get the rest you deserve.
Speaker 2 (13:02):
That's what he's doing.
Speaker 3 (13:03):
He can finally get the rest he deserves, the big,
bigger resh.
Speaker 2 (13:07):
Hopefully his rest is bigly, his big lely rested. All
that time that you were in New York, did you
ever run across him? Yeah, I mean I'm mad he
Matt he was Trump was. Trump was nice to me.
Speaker 3 (13:21):
But he knows how to work himself in social spaces,
you know what I'm saying, Like, he knows how to talk.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
So he wasn't a butthole. He just was. You could
tell that he was. Ooh'sing narcissism.
Speaker 3 (13:32):
I mean, but you know, when you're a billionaire, I
mean I get it, I get it.
Speaker 2 (13:37):
I get the narcissism.
Speaker 3 (13:39):
However, what I don't understand is in the middle of
table read, you're pulling your phone out. I mean, like,
this is a great moment for everyone in this room.
My book just hit number one. It's a fantastic moment
for everybody at SNL.
Speaker 2 (13:53):
I was like, what are we doing here in the
middle of the table read.
Speaker 3 (13:58):
He stops reading this sketch, his phone rings, he hears
he has number one, and then it just goes.
Speaker 4 (14:04):
But is that when he did the chicken uh, the
chicken commercial, the chicken commercial on SNL, you know what
I'm talking about, where he's like singing the song.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
I can't remember exactly what it was. I know he did.
Speaker 3 (14:14):
I know we did hotline bling with him.
Speaker 2 (14:17):
No, this was like he was on the cell phone.
Speaker 3 (14:21):
Yeah, I don't know. I wrote that put him out.
It was Will Stephan. Will Stephan wrote that. No brilliant
writer though, because he just you know, he's a Drake fan. Though,
we just Trump wanted to be added to that sketch,
so he requested to be added. So we interesting, we
figured aques yes, we acquiesced.
Speaker 5 (14:43):
He strikes me and I'm sure everybody else. And he's
different than your typical Okay, he's present. We need an impression.
Certainly on SNL that's a key. But any other comedian
maybe they have one, maybe they don't. And there you've
got plenty of them up to him. But the material
he's delivered in his two terms and all of the
years in between, it is legendary.
Speaker 3 (15:04):
They're eating your cats, they're eating the dogs, the pets.
They're turning the pets into hush puppies. That's exactly what's happening.
The pets are turning into appetizers.
Speaker 4 (15:17):
Like because you did Obama, you're so good at Obama. Man,
those two are going at it this last summer.
Speaker 3 (15:23):
Yeah, they were, and you know it was it was
It looked like it was it was Cisco Versus because
you know Obama's got the Cisco head. Now, it was
it was Cisco Versus. Uh a McDonald's every day or
that's what it is. He was serving fries, yeah, what
what Trump was? Yeah, and the drive through and all that,
I'm sure And how many did he eat?
Speaker 2 (15:44):
Oh? Probably way too many.
Speaker 3 (15:46):
Millions millions of fries, eight millions and billions of fries.
Speaker 2 (15:56):
And Obama's probably never had a fry in his life.
Oh well, I'll tell you this.
Speaker 8 (16:01):
I mean maybe on my off day, but I mean regularly,
it's not good for my diet. So, I mean, Michelle
advocates heavily against uh eusey.
Speaker 6 (16:11):
What.
Speaker 3 (16:12):
That was a crazy one to do because it was
so many politics involved with even getting that impression, you
know what I'm saying, So you know, to actually get
it because Fred Ormisen did it at first.
Speaker 2 (16:24):
Fred is great, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (16:26):
But you know they hired me and not two years
and then that's when I came back. I know, thirty seconds,
so we got ten. Now gotta go to break. We're good.
