  • Mike welcomes Ben Marshall, John Higgins, and Martin Herlihy, aka Please Don’t Destroy, known for their wildly popular shorts on SNL. Mike is determined to get Martin to talk more than he did on Pete Holmes’s podcast. The group shares what they like and dislike about each other, and break down what it’s like to be both sketch writers and filmmakers on SNL. Plus, what it’s like to work with Bad Bunny in a Shrek costume and get roasted by Taylor Swift.

    I don't know why I'm like this, but upon hearing Mike claim that he saw Ben in 'Thank God for Jokes', I decided to dedicate my life to searching that entire special to see if I could spot Ben like a game of Where's Waldo. In conclusion, Ben appears in the audience at the top of the frame at 22 minutes and 41 seconds into the special.

      I actually felt really scared when he started talking about taking Martin on the road. The faces of the other guys, they hesitated too. For a group of 3, an established figure in the comedy world taking just one of them under his wing, is a death threat to the team. And they must fear it constantly

      Yeah. Thats called monitoring. In the audio world its important to hear yourself to perform. Its why musicians wear in ears while on stage. But this isnt music. Its a conversation, volumes don’t need to match. Its just people talking, audio quality doesnt matter at all.

      they do understand the lonely island references, they’re just clearly tired of hearing them. people call them “the lonelier island” constantly and it’s pretty obvious from interviews that they don’t really like it all that much. little weird to base your opinion on their work/humor from whether or not they laugh at a tired joke haha

    That's disappointing to hear that they write a lot of the sketches. Most of the sketches for the past year or so have been pretty bad. I like their segments, but the rest of the show usually is sub par at best. At least since the vast majority of good cast members left.
