[ laughter ] >> yeah, we thought it was the funniest thing ever and the audience kind of like, huh on that one. >> seth: did you know who also was the funniest thing? >> who. >> seth: because we wrote it once for snoop dogg. and it didn't get picked. i don't think we did it in a sketch, but all week he would by and just go, "double d's, double these." he was so happy. he loved it. i kept thinking one day he'll put it in a song. >> that'd be great. that'd be awesome.

>> seth: i think we should just say that if he wants to do that, that would be fine. >> snoop, yeah, it's all yours. [ laughter ] >> seth: any other characters over the years that you didn't feel like got the fair shake? >> well, seth, funny you should mention that. [ laughter ] >> seth: well, i want to you talk about david "mac" wilson. >> okay. there's this character that i tried to put up several times, his name was david "mac" wilson. actually, andrew steel first invented him, for that elian gonzalez. >> seth: yes. >> this is back in the aughts guys. [ laughter ] you remember elian gonzales? >> seth: he's a grown man. >> so the cuban boy. >> seth: he's a grown man now. >> he has children. okay. [ laughter ] okay. so. so, where was i? >> seth: elian gonzalez is watching this at home being like, "why they talking about me?" [ laughter ] >> david "mac" wilson was this annoying child star who was, like, i don't really know how to describe now. but would be like -- he'd always talk about the macaroni and cheese. >> seth: he was very -- >> business savvy. >> seth: business savy. >> showbiz savvy. so he'd be like, "hey, you seen my mac and cheese commercial?

it's the cheesiest!" [ light laughter ] like, "ever work with de niro? that's be a dream project." [ laughter ] anyway. he died. [ laughter ] >> seth: you did you it -- you recently did -- we had paula pell on and we had tina on. paula wrote this movie, "the nest." tina fey, amy poehler, yourself. >> yes. >> seth: you got to go out. maya was in it. >> yes. >> seth: and it was like -- there were party scenes in the movie? >> yes. so i played -- it was so much fun. so i played this guest at their party, the whole movie is based on they throw a party 'cause their parents are about to sell the house. so, there were a bunch of really fun -- like jon glaser and kate mckinnon and bobby moynihan, et cetera. one day we'd each have a line and a lot of days we were guests at this party, like drinking in the background. so, it reminded me of my old days. like one of the first movies i ever got a part in, i was an extra in this movie called "straight talk" with dolly parton and james woods as a romantic couple. yeah. [ applause ] [ laughter ] >> seth: the first of the

dolly parton/james woods romantic trilogy. >> exactly. [ laughter ] so -- because the chemistry was palpable. [ laughter ] so anyway, i was an extra and it was so cute, because all i do is walk by a few times in the background. but my parents rented the movie and they had friends over to watch it and everything. like they'd freeze it like, "there she is!" walking by a frosted office window. [ light laughter ] >> seth: here's what i would like to do now, we're gonna show a clip and i would like you to be your mother talking over it, so this would be what she would say >> i haven't seen this since 2000, no -- 19 something. 80 something. >> seth: here we go. >> okay there's dolly parton. what's happening -- [ laughter ] [ cheers and applause ] that was fast! that was fast. >> seth: i feel like i don't want to underestimate the work you did in this film, you look like a person working very hard there. [ laughter ] >> i had a whole backstory going

on. >> seth: you had a backstory? >> oh, my gosh, look, there i am again. >> seth: there you are there. so pretty much -- >> look at my skinny arms. okay. yes. go ahead. >> seth: what was your backstory? >> oh, god, i don't remember. i'm on a movie! that was my backstory. >> seth: you were an extra in a movie. >> excited. yeah. yeah. >> seth: and are you enjoying -- the schedule, enjoy doing a show every night? is it fun? >> yeah, yeah, it's kind of like -- i'm not used to working. [ laughter ] i mean, i don't mean like i sit around and eat bonbons. i mean, like, every day, every night, matinee, la la la. it goes back to the old second city days and -- [ english accent ] -- i started in the theater, seth. [ laughter ] so i am used to the every night.
