    The fact that the wrote the lobster sketch before Les Mis was even a movie, got rejected by Seth, and then waited until they were head writer and host respectively to push it through makes it 100x better.

    • @svyt
      @svyt 5 лет назад +141

      Actually, Seth was head writer at the time it was rejected, but was not head writer when it got aired. Almost like Mulaney believed in it enough and held onto it, waited years, finally outlasted Seth's tenure as head writer, and then went back to host to finally get it on air - and that still makes it 100x better!

    Listening to them come up with sketches just makes me wish I could see how they see things and the inside of their minds.
