WSNL - Channel 67

You know, SNL was a challenge for me, mostly because of how I treated myself. Everyone was very kind to me, but if there was one thing I would change, I would ask people to stop saying that "now is the time for women in comedy" because it's rude to all of the women who came before us, patronizing to those of us doing it, and backwards in general. Comedy comes from my nature, not my gender!

For my first show at 'SNL', I wrote a Bill Clinton sketch, and during our read-through, it wasn't getting any laughs. This weight of embarrassment came over me, and I felt like I was sweating from my spine out. But I realized, 'Okay, that happened, and I did not die.' You've got to experience failure to understand that you can survive it.

"I don't really remember my audition actually. I think I did Kim Kardashian, Judge Sotomayor, Victoria Beckham and like five other people. Who am I forgetting? Oh, I did Dora the Explorer. It's such a blur, to be honest with you. I am having trouble remembering."

“I had an old VHS tape of ‘Saturday Night Live’ commercials, and I watched it all the time. ‘Saturday Night Live,’ was an always.”

"Well my favorite character that I brought from The Groundlings, was the Valley Girl. And my favorite character that I created at Saturday Night Live, which, I think, only pleased me and no one else, was Lena Wertmuller."

“I knew I was gay when I would stay up to watch Saturday Night Live, put on a wifebeater, and lift weights. That’s when I knew. Also, I would masturbate to Gillian Anderson in the X-Files. That’s when my mom found out."
