SNL Newbies

[Talking about writing for Saturday Night Live]

Bill Hader: That’s a really great feeling when you come in on Tuesday, and you’re like, “I have a piece underneath my belt.” It lays off the pressure.

Andy Samberg: You’re talking about a gun, right?

BH: Yes. I come to work with a gun.

AS: Under your belt?

Kristen Wiig: You can’t print that.

BH: I mean, I’ve got a license for it. I use it for an intimidation tool. It’s not loaded. “Oh really? You don’t like that sketch?”

AS: “Well, I’ve got a piece underneath my belt.”

BH: I’m just putting my guns on the table, I’m just saying.

KW: We’re all required to bring some sort of weapon.

– From “The New Faces of Saturday Night Live” in The A.V. Club
