-Welcome back. -Ooh! -Ooh! You know what I'm talking about. Come on! They love you right there. You feel the love. -I feel the love. -You have to feel the love. Welcome back. Thank you so much for coming back on the show. -Oh, thanks for having me, Jim. -I have a lot of things to talk to you about. -Yes, sir. -The presidential election is not too far away. -I've heard of it. -Yes. And you've you've done a great job as Kamala Harris. -Hi, bud. -How you doing, buddy? -It's good to see you. -Yeah.

That was so great to see Pearl back there. -I know. -She's gorgeous. -Kids just get older. -I mean, what is the deal with that? But she's awesome and so fun. -Isn't it beautiful? -Yeah, it's the best. -And it's also beautiful to see your friends with your children, because you see how much time has passed. It's making me very emotional. -I know, bud. We were kids, man. -It's beautiful. We were kids. -We were kids. -Yeah, well, you were really a kid. -And now we're younger. -Yes, exactly. Isn't t

hat weird how it happened? -So much younger. -I loved you on "SNL" a couple weeks ago. I saw you with -- Kate McKinnon was hosting. -Yes. Kate's show. -You and -- oh, my God -- Kristen Wiig. -That was fun. -You crushed it. The ABBA thing was just off the rails. -That was a lot of fun. -That was off the rails. -It's so much fun to go back there and not work there anymore. Like, it's like when you go home -- It's like coming home from college and, like, staying at your parents' house, and they're

like, "You can stay in the guest room and get the good soap." -You're like, "Wow!" -It's just nice to be a guest. Because it's our home. You know, I love it there. -What do you remember about when we were there? -Oh, man, you and I goofed around a lot. I feel every time you came in my office, we would play a new game and we would always goof around. It was -- There was the game where you would come in really angry and then you'd sit in the chair and you'd fall every time. -Oh, yeah, fall off. Di

d a person that didn't know how to sit in a chair. -Yeah. But you were always yelling at me when you came in about something. -"Yeah, I want to be serious about this." And then, when you fall and you actually make a hurt face like... -There's that. We used to play store a lot, which is a Molly Shannon -- -Do you remember store? -Molly Shannon came up with a game called store. -This is the weirdest game we ever played. -It's the weirdest, greatest game. -You have to play it at 4:00 in the morning

. -You have to be -- It has to be 4:00 in the morning. -You have to be delirious -And -- Absolutely delirious and you have to take it very seriously and you have to walk in like you're in a real store and not laugh -- nothing is funny -- and pretend it's a store. One person is the shop clerk, and one person -- -Yeah, someone works at the store. -Yeah, and then you're just like -- You come in. Like, you come into the store. And I'm like... -Can I help you? -Oh, no thanks. I'm just browsing. -Alri

ght, well, let me know if there's anything I can do for you. -Oh, I have a que-- How much is this? -Oh, that's $29.99. And we would just do that for hours. -For hours. -There's no end. There's no end to it. That was it. That was the bit. -The end is "Thank you so much." -"Thank you." [ Cheers and applause ] -Then they leave. -Molly was great. I know. It was just so many ridiculous -- If you think about all the ridiculous jokes that we've made throughout the years, like -- Oh, I wish -- -I do --

I will say this. In all the time that I've thought about all the fun that we had doing it, what I love is that we did not have smartphones, we didn't have cellphones, and we used to just play. When we were together, we would play. -Yeah. -We weren't, like, looking at -- We weren't distracted. We were always with each other. -Yeah, no texting and that existed. -We were just playing all the time. -We just -- Yeah. It was actually the most fun, like camp. -Yeah. -And it just got -- It got to so man

y levels of craziness. Remember Will's character that he -- -Are you talking about Chip Kudrow or Ron? -I think it was Chip Kudrow. -Will Ferrell had a character named Chip Kudrow who would just show up at our pitch meetings, He was Lisa Kudrow's brother. Let's be clear. -That's what he kept saying. But was he the one that would wear the referee shirt? -Oh, maybe. I don't know if he wore overalls or a referee shirt. -Or was that Ron I'm thinking of? -Ron would just say, "I'm Ron." -"I'm Ron." -Y

ou would say hi to -- Will -- he would stay in character all week, and you couldn't break him. Just during the day, for no reason -- -One of the greatest gifts of life was, like, when I got to "SNL," there were so many people that were just like -- He was so comfortable doing the weirdest bits, and nobody said anything. I didn't know it wasn't normal. -Do you remember -- [ Laughter ] We didn't. -No. -But you didn't have -- You just go in and improvise from as soon as you got to the show till whe

n you left, and it was like -- Do you remember Will's last read-through, when you did Poetry Man? And we all just were crying. -Well, I did a -- I tried -- At the last table read, you write stuff that you know isn't going to make it on the show, but you just do it to send off the person that you love. And we did a -- It was, like, a parody of the Phoebe Snow song... -♪ You're the poetry man ♪ -Oh, "Poetry --" But it was -- But I made it... ♪ You're the comedy man ♪ ♪ You make everything alright

♪ ♪ Yeah, yeah ♪ -And, dude, we all lost it. I mean, there was like five sketches that were just like, "We love you, Will." Like, that's all they really said. It's like, "We love you, dude. We miss you." When you say goodbye to a cast member, you root for them, obviously, but you miss the times that you have. -Well, we were just -- We were so, so, so lucky that we had that time together. We were so lucky. And that it's documented, because now we can look back and watch it. But, like, we really h

ad some, like -- some golden -- some golden time. -Last time I saw you, I was lucky enough to go to see Amy Poehler and Tina Fey do their show together at The Beacon. -Yeah. -And you came out and surprised everyone. This is two weeks ago or something? -This was a little while ago, yeah. -And, man, you came out and destroyed! -That was really fun. I got to do a "Weekend Update" with the girls, and it was -- -You were giving your Oscar picks. -Well, yes, Whitney Houston gave her Oscar picks from h

eaven. -Yeah, you were the ghost of Whitney -- You were the ghost of Whitney Houston. -Yeah. -And, man -- -She's not a fan of "Saltburn," which is weird. -That "Saltburn" run was the funniest thing ever. You got a standing ovation, like, twice in the middle of your bit. It was insanely funny. And watching those guys just -- -What a dream. -Professionals. It took me back to those days where everyone's just goofing off, and, like, it's the best of the best, playing with each other. It was phenomen

al. -It's true. And I think about it all the time. We're so lucky that we got that time to play together, because now everybody's so distracted, you know? -No, that's it. We have to have fun. -Yeah. -But here we are. -We got that good stuff. -We got -- Let's talk about "Loot." -"Loot." -"Loot," the second -- "Loot" second season premieres April 3rd on Apple TV+. Second season. -Yeah. -You're back being funny again. -Boom! -Being amazing again. -Boom! -Boom! I said, boom! Tell everybody what's ha

ppening for season 2. -Season 2, my character, Molly Wells, had just inherited $87 billion from her divorce. She didn't get a prenup. And, so, $87 billion, and she's like, "What do I do with it?" And now, this season, she -- At the end of the first season, she decided to give away all her money. Now she's trying to figure out how to give it all away and try to be, you know, like, a decent human being along the way. -Yeah. I love it, by the way. I love the the sets. I love your wardrobe. -Wardrob

e is really fun, too. -Everything is just well done. -It's fun to pretend to be a billionaire. -Yeah. Come on. It's fun. You got to watch "Loot," everybody. I want to show a clip. Here's Maya Rudolph in "Loot." Take a look. -No, no, no, no, no. Give me your phone right now. I have to assess the damage. I'm putting this up on the screen. -No, no, no, you probably -- -[ Gasps ] -Oh, dear God, no! -It's green. -It's all green. What did you do? -"This is Isaac, right? I got your number from Molly. M

olly Wells from work. Are these texts going through?" Ooh, boy. -I feel physically ill. -"Have you heard of Macklemore? He's not bad. How old are you, btw?" Waving-hand emoji. "Thursday? More like Thurs-yay." Then a Bitmoji of you with bangs crawling in front of a calendar that says, "Is it Friday yet?" -I think we get the point. -"OMG. Watching 'Frasier.' That dog is pretty funny." -You have to disappear. You have to flee the country. -He's right. -Come on. That is how you do it. That's how you

do it, right there. -There you go. -Maya Rudolph, everybody. Season 2 of "Loot" premieres April 3rd on Apple TV+. Maya and I are playing "Lip Sync Roulette" after the break. Stick around, everybody.
