Everybody has it, 215 00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:38,400 Speaker 1: but people are listening and they want to hear your perspective, 216 00:10:38,760 --> 00:10:43,200 Speaker 1: your experience from it.

I can count on one hand how many 971 00:48:33,960 --> 00:48:39,000 Speaker 3: of my sketches made it to air one hand, and 972 00:48:39,080 --> 00:48:43,040 Speaker 3: I might be able to remove two fingers. 973 00:48:43,080 --> 00:48:45,080 Speaker 1: Why you didn't get anything renewed but yet? 974 00:48:45,120 --> 00:48:50,680 Speaker 3: But but let me tell you them. I was definitely 975 00:48:53,080 --> 00:48:59,080 Speaker 3: a favorite at SNL. My pictures are legendary, legendary. 976 00:48:59,560 --> 00:49:01,719 Speaker 2: You took comedian who writes. 977 00:49:01,480 --> 00:49:04,040 Speaker 3: For himself and you put them in a writing position, 978 00:49:05,160 --> 00:49:09,400 Speaker 3: you know, actuality. I probably should have been both. I 979 00:49:09,400 --> 00:49:12,840 Speaker 3: probably should have been a cast member who wrote for 980 00:49:13,040 --> 00:49:17,200 Speaker 3: himself and other people. Because I mean, to this day, 981 00:49:17,400 --> 00:49:20,040 Speaker 3: people still bring up my old sketches. 982 00:49:20,200 --> 00:49:21,160 Speaker 2: I don't care who I see. 983 00:49:21,560 --> 00:49:24,440 Speaker 3: I could see Lauren, I could see head writers from 984 00:49:24,440 --> 00:49:27,480 Speaker 3: back then, task members from back then. They all remember 985 00:49:27,680 --> 00:49:30,680 Speaker 3: every pitch I ever pitched, because I would pitch. I 986 00:49:30,680 --> 00:49:34,120 Speaker 3: would pitch as a comedian meeting. I would stand up 987 00:49:34,400 --> 00:49:38,600 Speaker 3: and I would pitch my, my, my, my sketch ideas. 988 00:49:38,920 --> 00:49:42,919 Speaker 2: So this is crazy. I leave there. 989 00:49:43,640 --> 00:49:45,680 Speaker 3: I said, if someone gets it this, god bless him, 990 00:49:45,840 --> 00:49:48,040 Speaker 3: I said. Me and Larry had a good time. I 991 00:49:48,080 --> 00:49:49,919 Speaker 3: thought about it. I didn't think about it no more. 992 00:49:50,719 --> 00:49:52,960 Speaker 3: I said, whatever happens happens.

So my moment can become your moment, you. 1127 00:56:55,600 --> 00:56:58,720 Speaker 1: Know, Jay, And this is probably one of the most informal, 1128 00:56:58,880 --> 00:57:01,520 Speaker 1: most powerful interviews I've done it in a long time 1129 00:57:01,560 --> 00:57:03,960 Speaker 1: for various reasons. I think that you did go over 1130 00:57:04,080 --> 00:57:06,760 Speaker 1: what that moment was. I've had those type of moments, 1131 00:57:06,760 --> 00:57:10,560 Speaker 1: but I think everything is not just that simple. It is, 1132 00:57:10,640 --> 00:57:13,919 Speaker 1: like you said, planning seeds, and that moment is a 1133 00:57:13,960 --> 00:57:19,280 Speaker 1: culmination of a bunch of moments that happened. And I 1134 00:57:19,320 --> 00:57:21,439 Speaker 1: think you said it right, man. You know, you lost 1135 00:57:21,480 --> 00:57:23,600 Speaker 1: a lot of people, so you value the moments that 1136 00:57:23,640 --> 00:57:26,000 Speaker 1: when you when you're with people, you you walk out 1137 00:57:26,080 --> 00:57:29,360 Speaker 1: the room and you wish everybody you know success, even 1138 00:57:29,400 --> 00:57:31,960 Speaker 1: if it's no one against maybe your success, but it 1139 00:57:31,960 --> 00:57:35,040 Speaker 1: doesn't matter. You know, you don't want to get in 1140 00:57:35,360 --> 00:57:37,600 Speaker 1: their way. It doesn't make your way any easier, you 1141 00:57:37,640 --> 00:57:41,160 Speaker 1: know what I mean. And then you had a special moment. Man. 1142 00:57:41,200 --> 00:57:43,400 Speaker 1: I really really thank you, man, because I think that 1143 00:57:44,200 --> 00:57:46,680 Speaker 1: I got to reflect and think about things. And you know, 1144 00:57:46,760 --> 00:57:48,360 Speaker 1: you've always been like that. I don't know if I've 1145 00:57:48,360 --> 00:57:52,720 Speaker 1: ever met I mean, you know, Quincy. You know, you've 1146 00:57:52,760 --> 00:57:55,200 Speaker 1: never had people in between any of us. Like when 1147 00:57:55,200 --> 00:57:57,720 Speaker 1: I speak to you, and I've always whenever I've speak 1148 00:57:57,840 --> 00:58:01,120 Speaker 1: spoken to anybody spoken you, it's almost like you're talking 1149 00:58:01,160 --> 00:58:04,120 Speaker 1: to a long lost friend or old body, you know. 1150 00:58:04,200 --> 00:58:07,640 Speaker 1: And even if you have somebody there who's working with you, 1151 00:58:07,760 --> 00:58:11,040 Speaker 1: like my Chauncey or my Ted parent or Ted, it's like, yeah, 1152 00:58:11,120 --> 00:58:14,240 Speaker 1: that's cool, but we're talking to you. We're just all 1153 00:58:14,320 --> 00:58:16,880 Speaker 1: hanging out. And I think that that is what makes 1154 00:58:16,920 --> 00:58:19,200 Speaker 1: you such a beautiful person. And it comes off on TV. 1155 00:58:19,360 --> 00:58:22,120 Speaker 1: It comes off when people meet you. Man, and and 1156 00:58:22,160 --> 00:58:24,120 Speaker 1: it's good to see people that don't put a lot 1157 00:58:24,120 --> 00:58:26,560 Speaker 1: of shields in front of them. And if we have 1158 00:58:26,600 --> 00:58:28,680 Speaker 1: to go and speak to the other people, it's all good. 1159 00:58:28,720 --> 00:58:31,360 Speaker 1: But we know that, we know that it's part of 1160 00:58:31,360 --> 00:58:33,600 Speaker 1: the process and it was all cool.
