That's been making me laugh is a show on Dropout called Very Important People. Check it out. It is an improvised talk show hosted by Vic Michaelis and has people like Lisa Gilroy and Brendan Lee Mulligan and Eugene Cordero and all these great improvisers and really funny people who basically have to sit and get prosthetics put on them and outfits and costumes put on them while their eyes are closed and then they have to create a character, improvise and go on a talk show.
2:02Tina Fey:It's just so funny. Such skilled performers come through there. And Vic is an incredible host who just adds every layer detail.

3:18Amy Poehler:one of the things i like to watch is and again i'm gonna keep referencing tiktok i am not a public account you won't don't find me don't look for me don't write me if anyone's pretending to be you they're fake it's fake yeah um but i like to watch videos of people either doing or learning or trying to teach Beyonce's homecoming dance break. So either someone who can do it or I love it when it's a person who you don't expect them to be able to do it and then they do it. Like they're holding like a laundry basket. Yeah, so they're just like, yeah, they're a mom in their laundry room and then they do it.
3:54Amy Poehler:I have tried to watch tutorials to try to do, I'm not a great dancer and I know that if I was given from now to the end of my life, I could not learn the first 16 counts of that dance. Yeah. But I love watching people do it. And then the other day I was watching a whole bunch of people doing it. And it took me one guy was like a really beautiful ripped guy in like shorts, no shirt doing it. And I was like, oh, this is a new layer of this. And then the algorithm was like, oh, you watch that. So you just want to see videos that are just like hashtag rugby build. And it was just like guys with a rugby build.
4:33Amy Poehler:And I was like, I think I do want to watch it. Yeah.
4:38Adam Scott:I regret to say that there's these videos online. I don't really watch TikTok.
4:45Kate McKinnon:Really? Why?
4:47Adam Scott:I just don't. I never really. So there's these videos. I'm learning of this cat. And I don't like it because it's AI.
4:58Tina Fey:Okay. I don't like it. Look, this isn't a shame-based. I mean, there's no shame here. I'm shaming me for enjoying it. It's an AI cat? Hold on.
5:05Adam Scott:I gotta check this out. And he, like, always is—he starts his day. Wait, what are you doing? Okay, already.
5:15Tina Fey:Okay.
5:16Adam Scott:He starts his day.
5:17Tina Fey:What's his name?
5:19Adam Scott:H-S-I-N. I don't know how to pronounce him. He is from Asia. Okay. And he—
5:24Tina Fey:H-S-I-N cat?
5:26Adam Scott:Yeah, do you see him?
5:27Tina Fey:H-S-I-N. Okay, let's see. Oh, H-S-I-N. Yeah, cat. It's a breed of cat. Can I? Yeah, let's look at it.
5:37Adam Scott:No, you're going to have to search for him in TikTok. Okay, very good. Stand by. I'm going to look him up. And he always begins his day. He wakes up and he decides, he goes to the market and he buys some vegetables. And then he goes and finds, are you looking at him? No, that's not. No, hold on. No, that's not him. Oh, this cat? Yeah.
6:03Kate McKinnon:Okay, so we'll put him up here.
6:05Adam Scott:So he will find a friend, like a chicken or a rabbit. He's finding a chicken in this one. Is he? And so what he does— And he's also— And then he cooks the chicken. And he cooks— So he always—he drugs them first. He invites them over for a drink, and then they drink it, and they pass out. He's drugging these friends. Wait.
6:27Kate McKinnon:Okay, this is a whole story.
6:29Adam Scott:Yeah. And then he cooks them and he eats them. And he even has a little funeral for them after he cooks them. And it's like, you killed them. And he has a friend, the lion, who he calls over to eat. Because I think the lion is the only apex predator in his life because he cooks and eats. Sometimes he drops a bomb in the ocean and then he kills a shark. He has shark meat that day. and the caption is always like, I was in the mood for something different today. Or the caption's like, met a friend today. And you think it's going to end well this time? Nope. He cooks whatever. One time he met a crocodile.
7:09Adam Scott:I was like, this is seeming like a budding friendship. Now he's in jail. He's in jail. He gets, there are consequences, but his friend the lion always bails him out. Sometimes he whacks someone over the head and then he eats them. But sometimes they get them back. Like this fox whacked him over the head once. And I was like, finally, this cat is getting what he fucking deserves. This little fucking maniac. But then he calls the lion. The lion comes and whacks the fox. They have fox for dinner that night. And you watch it. I watch every single one.
7:43Gwyneth Paltrow:I always go back to news bloopers.
7:47Tina Fey:Oh, God. Let's just watch. Hold on. Let's just watch a few. do you have any that you remember that like I can google

9:00Gwyneth Paltrow:bloopers I feel like
9:01Kate McKinnon:we grew up with bloopers
9:03Gwyneth Paltrow:nothing when I see people really laughing and really like there's in those news bloopers there's one there's one it's these two guys they're speaking a language I don't understand okay it's like I don't know what by the way some of the ones in that like news in other countries.
9:21Kate McKinnon:Oh, I don't even think to look for that. I'm going.
9:23Gwyneth Paltrow:I'll go in. I'm going best news bloopers of 2023 or 22. I've seen them all.
9:29Kate McKinnon:Like global news bloopers. That's what I'm finding right now.
9:31Gwyneth Paltrow:I will watch those over and over again. But there's like one where these two guys and somebody says something and I don't know what he's saying, but the other guy says it and he starts laughing and they both start laughing and they are crying and they're on the ground crying and I don't know what the hell they're talking about. And I'm tears because there's –
9:52Tina Fey:God, I do love it. God, I love that.
9:55Gwyneth Paltrow:Why do we love – Because there's something – it's the opposite of pretension. It's pure joy. It's defenseless. It's the purest. It's celebratory. My wife has said before, this is such a good idea. She goes, they should have like in hospitals when people are getting going for like chemotherapy or whatever and they're sitting in the chair for hours. They should have on screens all around just bloopers from people laughing.
10:30Kate McKinnon:That is a great idea, Julie Rudd. It's a great idea.
10:34Gwyneth Paltrow:And I agree. Like if I see people laughing really, really hard, I'm done. I like watching British people break.
10:47Olivia Coleman:Ooh. There's that like Jimmy Carr show. There's like a panel show. I think it's called Eight Out of Ten Cats. I've never watched a full episode, but I keep getting served. Okay, Jimmy Carr. Short clips of like British panelists making other British panelists laugh. I just like watching British people break. I feel like, see, you're not better than us.
11:07Tina Fey:You are such, you're such an Anglophile. Yeah, I am. You really are. You love Brits.
11:12Olivia Coleman:I do.
11:12Tina Fey:So you like people trying not to laugh or just like a chat shows, panel shows?
11:17Olivia Coleman:Yeah, I mean, in general, I like, you know, it's like watching an old Carol Burnett. Yeah. But I do like. Corpse. But I feel like British people try really hard not to break. So when they break it, I don't know, it brings me more satisfaction.
11:34Kathryn Hahn:I don't watch reality television. Same, I barely watch it. But I have found a show called Farmer Wants a Wife. Have you heard of it? No. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. It's a nightmare. Please tell me. It's a nightmare. Okay. A farmer, like, scrolls through a list of women and picks eight of them. They all come. There's four farmers. Okay. Eight women per farmer. Eight women per farmer? Yes. Then they go on a speed date. The odds are stacked against us. 10 minutes per woman. Okay.
12:07Kate McKinnon:And then they speed date on a farm or in, like, a studio.
12:09Kathryn Hahn:In, like, a barn set. Yeah. and then they see if they have a connection and then he has to choose five women to bring back to his farm and date them all for six weeks oh my god it's insane first of all i'm just horrified
12:24Ryan Coogler:by the amount he gets to pick from he gets to pick from five it's ridiculous and do they and
12:31Tina Fey:is a lot of his choosing about what kind of like how is she going to help me with the farm that's
12:36Kathryn Hahn:the crazy thing is he makes them do a lot of manual labor this is and i'm like what is going on. Well, he wants a wife. Farmer wants a wife. Farmer wants a wife. And they're like, you know, I really like that she's from the city, but I don't know how she'll do out on the tractor. So I don't know what accent that was. I don't know where that farmer's from. Your dialect coach is coming back. Your nine-year-old. Yeah.
13:02Tina Fey:Call her up. Yeah. Whoa. Okay. And what do you like about watching it? Do you like because you're outraged by it? Yes. Yeah.
13:08Kathryn Hahn:And I can't stop. Yes. I feel really uncomfortable, like deeply uncomfortable. But then I keep going. And do you get invested? Like, who is he going to pick? Yeah. And has there ever been any of that? There's drama between the girls, of course. Yeah. Do they sabotage each other at all? They definitely talk some shit. And they, like, gang up on each other. And some of them are just, they're just nuts.
13:29Ryan Coogler:Yeah.
13:30Kathryn Hahn:And some of them are like, I'm like, oh, they'd be a good match. They really get along.
13:35Kate McKinnon:Do you ever get a vibe like, wow, they're going to be together? Like sometimes like it's a good it's a good match. Yeah. What do you laugh at?
13:44Dakota Johnson:Really just my my friends like. Yeah. I wait for them to make me laugh on Marco Polo. John Early does this bit where he will send me a Marco Polo as if he's meaning to send a message to someone else. but he but it's this elaborate thing where it's like he's secretly planning with all of the rest of my friends to kill and cook and eat me like like you know like you know before the Tonys will send like a message being like okay so hi Claudia so Cole fully thinks they're going to the Tonys so that's fine I am a little worried about getting them out of the dress just in terms of grilling. It'll be hard, you know, like stuff like that.
14:32Kate McKinnon:That is so fun.
14:34Dakota Johnson:Makes me laugh so hard every time. And it... Complicated bit.
14:38Tina Fey:A fun complicated bit. And it goes to show like what you said earlier, which is like your friends love you. Yeah. You love your friends. Yeah. And you guys can deeply tease each other. Like that to me is like a big love language. Yeah. And it goes to show that like you're very safe around each other. Yeah.

Like, he'll walk, he'll get outside and he'll, like, do less, like, back and forth as fast as he can from one side of the lawn to the other. Like, he won't stop. And he'll just have, he has this corn cob that he can chew, has a sound in it, and he'll just look at you and be like, Like, and you hear the horn going on for so long.
16:50Cole Escola:And so his anxiety is funny.

17:27Tina Fey:I mean, honestly, it's a young Leo is really what it is.

18:45Ryan Coogler:And she starts singing Kendrick Lamar. Yes.
18:49Tina Fey:And what Anna said, which was so incredible, is I got to tell you something. And I think I said this to Anna, but I just want to extrapolate for a second about it. To me, it was so it was like such a win for the comedy kids because it was such a cool night. they literally followed lauren hill they came on after lauren hill i mean and their job was to settle everybody they had to go like we're gonna wait we're gonna wait until you stop talking
19:18Regina King:quiet they kept telling everyone to be quiet and it was so it was so funny to me that's like that i don't know what brand of comedy you call that but it's like that funny bones where what what what was the kendrick lamar song she's like um we gotta look at it for a second

20:12Kate McKinnon:I know the commitment. What kind of humor? What do you call that? I'm sweating. Like to me, what I would call that, honestly, it's a great question.
20:20Tina Fey:To me, I would call it like committed. No, you got to say spit take.

20:45Kate McKinnon:Here's some Good Hang tissues. Oh my God.
20:52Quinta Brunson:I can't breathe. It's so funny.
20:58Cole Escola:I am like, I am not very, for all my quiet comedy, I am like Mel Brooks is what makes me laugh. Like big, silly. Okay, what's your favorite Mel Brooks?
21:08Ryan Coogler:I mean. Let's Google it. Well, I mean Madeline Kahn. Should we go to the producers?
21:13Cole Escola:Young Frankenstein producers. I mean, when Dratch and I write together, it feels like Mel Brooks is, you know, the.
21:19Tina Fey:Dratch is, has, you, yeah, Dratch is of the Mel Brooks world. Yeah.
21:24Cole Escola:So writing with her is very goofy and very fun.
21:27Ryan Coogler:You know what I love and I know it's underrated. I love Mia Spaceballs. Oh, deeply underrated. Yeah.
21:33Cole Escola:God's face balls made me laugh. My friend Philip Teratila does this character called Official Pam Goldberg on Instagram. He plays a member of Actors' Equity since 1968.

21:55Quinta Brunson:Snacks. Don't rely on other people's snacks or anyone else bringing snacks for you. These are Crestdale peanuts. I don't think they're organic. Pam's telling us what to bring to tech. I say good coffee. I like this from Fairway. They can't manage my open coffee themselves, but life's too short for fulgers. Again, I recommend Bananagrams because it's short and cordial. You also won't find out.
22:19Kate McKinnon:Bananagrams are short and cordial.
22:21Tina Fey:Also, Pam has got a real severe haircut. Real severe. And a real squinty eye.
22:26Cole Escola:She's been a regional theater actress for a long time.
22:32Amy Poehler:There is nothing I love more than those videos of either dogs, like that one dog who keeps attacking an apple slice.

23:08Amy Poehler:Oh, here we go.
23:10Ryan Coogler:Spud on Instagram. Okay.
23:15Ryan Coogler:This dog is just attacking this piece of celery. This one is celery. This dog is a maniac.
23:24Kate McKinnon:The dog is growling. It is the size of a rat. It looks... And it is furious at this piece of food and is baring its teeth. I mean, it's scary. It's scary. But it's not going to hurt anybody.
23:43Amy Poehler:Oh, this is a strawberry. It's war.
23:49Ryan Coogler:Anyway, that makes me very happy. But do you watch a lot of videos, YouTube videos? and like, and I think what I, I'm, I love Survivor.
24:02Tina Fey:But let me just ask you something about Survivor.
24:04Amy Poehler:I also like Amazing Race.
24:05Tina Fey:Okay. Survivor and Amazing Race, those kinds of shows. Do you think you could do well on them? No. No. Really? Is there a part, when you watch it, is there a part of you that you think like, I, this is what I would do, but you don't. Yes. Okay.
24:21Amy Poehler:What I would do is pretend to break my leg and get air vac out. Have you watched Alone?
24:31Ryan Coogler:Yes. Incredible. Incredible. Okay, let's talk about Alone.
24:35Tina Fey:So for people that don't know, I think it's on the National Geographic channel, maybe History Channel, and now it's on Netflix. I mean.
24:42Ryan Coogler:There's 45 ,000 seasons of it. 45 ,000, and I think we watched every episode during COVID.
24:47Tina Fey:Yeah, fantastic COVID show. And for those who don't know, the premise is 10 or 11 people are dropped somewhere. It always feels like Canada, but somewhere. Wicked, wicked. And they have to survive the elements and survive being alone. And the psychology of how people figure out how to not only find food and shelter and
25:08Andy Samberg:outlast their competitors, but the psychology of what happens when people are alone is fascinating.
25:13Amy Poehler:I for sure would go crazy. Oh, but don't you think you would do on alone? Are you out of your mind?
25:22Ryan Coogler:Better than, really, you don't think you would do better than some of the other? Yeah, no, I wouldn't be able to get any food. I wouldn't be able to kill any of the animals.
25:30Amy Poehler:Yeah, so that would be one problem. And then the other problem would be, I don't think you'd be able to sleep because, you know, they got bears up there, man. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
25:36Andy Samberg:That's true.
25:37Amy Poehler:I mean, I don't know what headspace you're in right now, but there's no way you're making it on alone. No way.
25:44Ryan Coogler:I'm not saying I'm making it. I'm just saying. I'm not saying, I'm saying you're not making it one night. Not even one night? You're going to be too cold. You have to make a shelter. My pride would do one night. I would. Okay. One night.
26:00Julia Louis-Dreyfus:Wayne's World. It's my favorite movie of all time. I watch.
26:05Tina Fey:Let's talk about how much, how great Wayne's World is.
26:06Julia Louis-Dreyfus:Can we please talk about it?
26:08Tina Fey:I mean, Dana Carvey was instrumental for me when I was, he was in, you know, like you always kind of fall in love with the SNL cast that you saw when you were like 13, 14. And he, him and Jan Hooks and like that cast, Bill Hartman. And Mike Myers was an improviser who came out of the theater that I studied at. So Mike was a kind of an example of like, one of us can make it.
26:30Julia Louis-Dreyfus:Wow.
26:30Tina Fey:He kind of came up through that system, that Chicago system and got an SNL. So those two were,
26:35Andy Samberg:and but what do you like about Wayne's World?
26:39Julia Louis-Dreyfus:Why does Wayne's World make you laugh? Well so my parents were really young and I think that's why I got to grow up on stuff like that from the early early 90s or the late 80s and I thought that's how we would dress when we became adults. I was like this is how adults dress. We wear fishnets under denim ripped up shorts. We wear flannels over Aerosmith t-shirts. And I literally dress like that. I mean, I just, I, that movie has, it's like the godfather to me. Like I quote that movie all the time.
27:13Tina Fey:What's your, one of your favorite scenes in Wayne's world?
27:16Julia Louis-Dreyfus:Oh, this is good. Well, it's probably the Dreamweaver scene. It's probably when they first see Cassandra.
27:21Tina Fey:And that gorgeous woman played by Tia Carrera. Tia Carrera, my queen. And Chris Traeger's Rob Lowe is in Wayne's World. Rolo, as we like to call him.
27:34Julia Louis-Dreyfus:You know, I did not like Rob Lowe until much later in his career.
27:42Tina Fey:Because he was bad in Wayne's World. Like, he was the villain in Wayne's World.
27:45Julia Louis-Dreyfus:Yes. I believe Parks and Rec was the redemption tour. I do watch reality. Ooh.
27:54Ana Gasteyer:And I am not ashamed. You shouldn't be. Oh, I'm a Bravo gal for sure. Okay, who are you? All.
28:01Kate McKinnon:Have you done Andy Cohen and talked about the Housewives? Who are your faves? Who do you love?
28:09Ana Gasteyer:So many. I mean, it depends. Like, different cities have different. I'm about to. Salt Lake just started. A new season. Yes, a new season of Salt Lake, which is one of my favorite cities. Do we have a Salt Lake? Do we have a lady? We got a mm-hmm back there. Jenna just said mm-hmm. What makes Salt Lake so good for people like myself that don't know? It's just bonkers. Great. Everything that makes the fashion, the ladies, they're just, I love it so much. I have noticed like at night, it probably isn't the best thing to watch before I go to sleep. Because it gives you nightmares? Just because of the yelling and the brightness and like all the things you're not supposed to have before you go to sleep.
28:55Ana Gasteyer:Right. I love these women so much. They are my family. Can we watch a clip?
28:59Tina Fey:From Salt Lake that you would, if you were to, if I've never, I've never watched Salt Lake.
29:04Ryan Coogler:Oh, oh my God. I know this is hard, but what would be one?
29:08Ana Gasteyer:I guess maybe when, what about when, when the van, when Jen Shaw gets, I would say Jen Shaw. Yes. Sprinter van. Sprinter van. You can't just write Sprinter van because you will get every franchise. They're always in a Sprinter van going somewhere.
29:24Kate McKinnon:I genuinely don't know what I'm going to see here.
29:28Ana Gasteyer:Okay. Should I give you some context? Please. Please. So Jen Shaw is currently, right? Did she get out? Incarcerated?
29:36Kate McKinnon:Incarcerated. Okay. Incarcerated. Okay.
29:38Ana Gasteyer:With Elizabeth Holmes. They're in the same. And they're buddies. I believe. I believe. Well, this is loaded, but I saw the new naked gun.
29:49Tina Fey:Ah, okay. Talk about it because it looks so good.
29:52Hayley Williams:It's really funny.
29:53Tina Fey:Okay, so directed by Akiva.
29:54Hayley Williams:Obviously, it's directed by Akiva and co-written by Akiva, and he's my bestie. but I wouldn't say it if it wasn't true. It's really fucking funny. It's just the people I've talked to that have come and watched screening so far have kind of a similar reaction which is it's just all jokes. It's been so long since something new got made that was just purely trying to make me laugh. And it's in that style but it's also updated and Liam's amazing and Pam's amazing and Keeve did a great job. The writers with him did a great job. Dan and Doug. I mean, it's just joyful. It feels really fun.
30:31Tina Fey:How important was Naked Gun and Airplane to you growing up?
30:34Hayley Williams:Big.
30:35Tina Fey:Same.
30:35Hayley Williams:All the surrealistic, dumb, cartoony, live-action stuff, I loved. Monty Python, those, Pee-wee, later Strangers with Candy, things like that where you bend the world and make it be whatever you want it to be. We all watched Hollywood Shuffle and I'm Gonna Get You Sucka and all those movies. anything like that where it was like you could actually have like a giant thing fall through frame and no one will acknowledge it or something. I remember like the character on Naked Gun
31:06Tina Fey:that was really tall that was always out of frame.
31:08Hayley Williams:Yes.
31:08Tina Fey:And you never saw it at the top of him. Oh my God, it's my favorite joke.
31:12Hayley Williams:Are you going to say the same joke?
31:13Kate McKinnon:Is it the banana? Yes. It's my favorite joke. Oh my God, let's watch it.
31:17Hayley Williams:Ever.
31:19Will Forte:And there'll be plenty of time to do it too.
31:22Quinta Brunson:Get something in the side of your mouth, Al. No, no, no, the other side.
31:30Quinta Brunson:It's like half a banana.
31:32Kate McKinnon:Half a banana is hanging. Can you imagine half?
31:36Hayley Williams:And no one reacts.

What about when she had that pregnant belly and then that little baby and she had to sing and she had to leave? That movie, I think that movie is not, I don't know if it's underrated, but I say it's underrated. I think you're right. It is so good. Check out Heartburn, everybody. Check out Heartburn. It's so good. And it's so honest. You know, when she came back. You know what I loved? the delivery scene when he was talking to her and he cried and you were like, it's going to be different.
35:44Paul Rudd:And they had the baby. He was right back out there. He was right back out there in 10 minutes just doing him. He couldn't even. Yes. She couldn't do it anymore. No. People are complicated. People are complicated and it's not good or bad but it is, it is, can I stand it? And there was a little bit of her that was too compromised in that film, in that story. or Efron's story and I love I love Heartburn even before even in the beginning when it was like should we get married remember behind when she had the cold feet yes

43:14Seth Meyers:I get it. I get it. Tree roots are the least of his problems. Usually it's like a dachshund-sized piece of hair or grease or human shit.
43:28Quinta Brunson:It is. And he's like, woohoo! Woohoo! You little ripper!
43:36Will Forte:You know what I've been watching recently is I've been rewatching all Sex and the City.
43:42Kate McKinnon:The Ridge?
43:43Will Forte:Yeah. It's so fucking good.
43:47Tina Fey:So good.
43:48Will Forte:It is so good.

44:04Tina Fey:Yes. It's a real who's who.
44:06Will Forte:Yeah. Everybody in New York. But it is so good. And something I like doing is watching it and just kind of thinking about all of this happening for the first time. Like women sitting at a table together, talking about whatever, talking about themselves and talking about like how weird someone's cum smells. It's just like, holy shit, this is incredible. Like that has never been on TV before, let alone said out loud for people. And just how Samantha is just the most sex positive, like incredible, like not a moment of embarrassment. Never. Like so fucking cool.
44:54Kate McKinnon:So good.
44:55Will Forte:And Sarah Jessica Parker is so great at being the center of a show, servicing everybody else, but also keeping that motor going in the middle. It's so good.
45:08Tina Fey:Okay, so sex in the city is what you're watching and laughing at.
45:13Will Forte:Yeah, it's great. And you know, I saw something recently that said that repeated, if you have the urge to watch something you've seen before and repeat viewings, is a sign of a particular kind of intelligence. Oh. Yeah, no, this is real.
45:29Tina Fey:It's a sign of intelligence?
45:31Will Forte:Intelligence, I saw this. on Instagram. Where did you see this on?
45:36Tina Fey:On Instagram. Okay.
45:38Will Forte:And it was a picture of someone watching TV and it just said that. There was nothing to back it up. And I was like, oh, great. We'll watch more sex in the city.
45:49Will Forte:You saw it on Dr.
45:51Kate McKinnon:Instagram?
45:51Will Forte:My daughter and I just flew together from New York like night before last. And we got on the plane and I got in my seat and she was across the road from me. And I got in and like, so then I started watching Sex in the City that I had downloaded because I, and she was like, Dad, are you watching more Sex in the City? Yeah.
