Thanks for this interview! Great idea to get these guys together. So nice to see SNL writers get the recognition they deserve. Nate's Washington is well on it's way to becoming comedy legend. It will never get old.
Y’all are super smart and funny and this convo was a pleasure to listen in on. Nate’s understated deadpan is solid gold (George Washington 3, yes please!) and Mikey makes every sketch he’s in a laugh riot. 😅
What an amazing lineup! Mikey and Streeter are the GOAT writing team of modern SNL. Their hit rate is truly astonishing. And Nate, out of nowhere, has proven to be one of the great modern SNL hosts. Golf Tournament is one of my favorite sketches of this season. Thanks for this!
The second George Washington sketch was good, but it is the first one that will be remembered and go down in SNL history. People couldn't stop talking about it for days. I watched it at least 10 times in a row.
After their all-timer Washington sketches, I was really worried for them and Nate with the Angel at the Nativity scene on Nate's Christmas special. But it was such brilliant, original observation comedy of Christmas within American culture, that's not offensive and even a bit edgy with Nate's perfect self deprecation delivery. It worked perfectly as was really funny. The three of them together are pure gold.
I was thinking "no!" to a third Washington sketch, but when they said, "Washington's resignation," I immediately jumped to lots of Trump/Jan 6 ironies and of course the Hamilton references. That one starts to write itself.
I'm new to your site. You have a good angle. This Nate sketch style has a mind of it's own. It's definitely a great, if not iconic, vehicle. Thanks for acknowledging it.
Mikey Day is my favorite cast member on Saturday night live. He is the kind of cast member who has so much range and so much tenure that he helps hold the show together. I'm hard-pressed to see a sketch that he's not in in some way shape or form.
Interesting interview, but I have to say the intro feels long and the video itself seems really long for one skit. The skit itself is prettt brilliant though especially Nate's unique delivery
I kept asking myself what was up with Mikey Day's body language. His left arm was acting as a wall. I kept noticing his behavior and kept asking myself, "Am I imaging this?" Then I noticed his digs (iOh, thank you. You said I could say stuff). At 33:10 my thoughts were confirmed, "I'm going to take a page from Nate's play book and say we did it all alone." Look at Nate's face. I stopped watching the interview. I'm no longer a Mikey Day fan. The George Washington skit would not be funny without Nate. Close Encounters would not be funny without Kate. Streeter Seidel co-wrote the skit and I don't see him acting like a child.

Both Washington sketches were SO good. I've showed them to many people now. Thank you gentlemen.
And the Nativity sketch
“There’s a little kicking” will never not be funny. lol. Great line and perfect delivery.
This episode of SNL was brilliant and created lots of new Nate fans💐❣️⭐️

Mikey and Streeter are such a great writing team. And I'm so glad they gave some love to the golf pretape with Nate. Hilarious.
Yes! We are all waiting for a third George Washington! Loved the Nativity sketch, too. Thanks, Gentlemen!

Nate is a modern Newhart, different in his own right, but I can’t think of anyone today who makes deadpan not look like a choice.
Great observation! Huge fan of both!
This is why I love the internet. I love comics with a unique yet smart take _and_ I'm sufficiently old, but Newhart hadn't occurred to me. Bravo, sir!
Knocked it out of the park again with the Jesus/Christmas sketch on that variety show, Nate always delivers!

This podcast was awesome! Thank you for the back story and the chuckles!

“Your church will be all day” 😂
Enjoyed this very much!
This is just fantastic.
You’re fantastic!
Good stuff! This was fun! 👍🏻

They need to pop Lin Manuel Miranda pop in as Hamilton on the 3rd scetch
No. Hamilton sucks. The musical, not the guy.
@ but if you were to do Hamilton, it would be accurate with the time because Hamilton was one of his people.
@@Jopo1996 but you know they would force him to sing, and I don’t want to hear that shitty nerd rap.

this is just a massive love fest and im here for it. love this
Loved the sketch, very funny, watched it a few times. The Jesus sketch was also really good.
Love the show, thank you.
more like "how it's made" than an unboxing video lol
This is quite the line up!
Loved this episode!
Great idea!
fascinating inside baseball stuff the whole way
Grown up Streeter. Big fan from the College Humor days.
Lorne is a genius at putting together a team that makes the magic happen. When he does retire will SNL survive?
@ death?
Good one!
Only Nate can do the delivey of that sketch. Maybe Ray Romano but most comedians aren't dry enough.
Gaffigan
I'd never even heard of Nate until I saw him on SNL, man the guy is funny. And Mikey Day is one of the all time SNL goats.
He's on Netflix
I love Pure Luck 😂
It wouldn't surprise me if the fat suit used in Pure Luck by Martin Short was the origin story of Jiminy Glick.
Aren’t those two writers the David S Pumpkins’ dancing skeletons??

I gotta say it.......Eater Piefell
Mikey seems a lil stoned, right?
Mikey was getting over a cold, so it was probably that
Mikey said he had been sick.
Mikey says about 3/4's of the way through that he's sick. Probably cold medication.
Introverted?
I used to be NB's the biggest fan. Then watched the latest on Netflix. Zero new material. Very hard to watch. What happened?
Where have you heard that material before?
@@simplenough in the previous 3 specials
@@rofgabor I’ll have to see for myself. I didn’t hear any repeats
@@simplenoughMe neither…sounds like sour grapes
@@CHDean nah I watched Full Time Magic and he did the Community College joke there. And that was 10 years ago
Washington boring? Check out his history as the unkillable man (how the natives described him - with awe) 🏹
History is a lie agreed upon.
Man that host is a stick in the mud. I’ve heard Nate B describe this in 3 other interviews that are a lot more fun
Could someone get to the writer with the Yankee hat that he's missing out on comedy gold with the BS Southern Distict
Mikey looks like he has no interest in this interview at all. He doesn't want to be there
