“Great Americans” (w/ Tina Fey) - Bowen’s Pick for Best of 2024
That's an oversight. That needs to happen.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
“Great Americans” (w/ Tina Fey) - Bowen’s Pick for Best of 2024
I got lucky enough to do one. But so the guy, Pete Docter, who runs Pixar, super nice guy, legend, the kindest, loveliest man. And he invited me in on this super nerdy thing that sometimes they do where they have, I guess they used to do it in person during the pandemic. They were doing it over Zoom.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
“Great Americans” (w/ Tina Fey) - Bowen’s Pick for Best of 2024
where they just have literally like someone found a case of like weird B-roll building the park footage and they just play it like they haven't seen it. And it's just like from like 1971, we're building the Haunted Mansion. And it's just like raw footage of nothing but like guys working. And then there's experts on who like they're all these imagineers who are talking about what it is.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
“Great Americans” (w/ Tina Fey) - Bowen’s Pick for Best of 2024
And then they just drink. Really? And it's amazing. And because it happens on the West Coast, if you're watching it East Coast, it's like two in the morning and you put your laptop in your bed. Wow. But it's so cool.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang

“Great Americans” (w/ Tina Fey) - Bowen’s Pick for Best of 2024
We have the best time. It's the two of us. We take you on a little journey if we can. And we usually always have like one special friend show up. And we go to these cities. People are so lovely to come see us. And then we stay at a nice hotel. And I've said this before, but it is like we get up. Like the other night, I really did text Amy before a show.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
“Great Americans” (w/ Tina Fey) - Bowen’s Pick for Best of 2024
And I was like, right before we went out, she was on the other side of the stage. I'm getting excited about going to sleep. Because we do, like, we have so much fun. Like, I'm also learning, like, I love the part where we do the show. And I was like, I guess some people go on tour because they want to party after the show or whatever, or they want to hook up.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
“Great Americans” (w/ Tina Fey) - Bowen’s Pick for Best of 2024
And I was like, I like the part where we do the show. And sometimes if we have a new thing and it works, I'm like, that works. And then I go home and I wash my face and I, like, stand in silence facing a wall. Like, I'm like a little...
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
“Great Americans” (w/ Tina Fey) - Bowen’s Pick for Best of 2024
I had a 19-hour day. But you guys look good. That's the difference. You still look really good. I put on concealer because the cameras today.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
“Great Americans” (w/ Tina Fey) - Bowen’s Pick for Best of 2024
I don't know. I tried to do my makeup today, and I probably will see this and be like, oh, is I coming from a matinee of playing Mrs. Lovett? Did you see Sweeney Todd?
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
“Great Americans” (w/ Tina Fey) - Bowen’s Pick for Best of 2024
I didn't get to. My husband went. I didn't get to see. I was touring. I try to use that Rare Beauty blush, which is great, but it's so pigmented that then I do it and I'm like, I'm either looking great or baby Jane.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
“Great Americans” (w/ Tina Fey) - Bowen’s Pick for Best of 2024
I haven't watched it yet, but I think I will. I don't watch every part of the... Murphyverse. Murphyverse. Yeah. But that one, I'm like, you might get me. I do feel, I was like, okay, the PR is over time. Yeah. Because there's so many articles now about it. I was like, are we... This is really what we're... This is top of mind in every paper, but... Yeah, it does seem interesting.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
“Great Americans” (w/ Tina Fey) - Bowen’s Pick for Best of 2024
Yeah.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
“Great Americans” (w/ Tina Fey) - Bowen’s Pick for Best of 2024

Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
“Great Americans” (w/ Tina Fey) - Bowen’s Pick for Best of 2024
Yeah. Like her phone rang off the hook for this. And you know what Molly Ringwald has been doing in the meantime? Translating French books. Translating French books. Yes, yes. Okay.

Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
“Great Americans” (w/ Tina Fey) - Bowen’s Pick for Best of 2024
She also needs to keep looking. She didn't just find a uniform and stick with it. She was like never satisfied.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
“Great Americans” (w/ Tina Fey) - Bowen’s Pick for Best of 2024
Is it a knit? Is it a sweat? It's a sweat. It's a sweatshirt.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
“Great Americans” (w/ Tina Fey) - Bowen’s Pick for Best of 2024
There's medicine.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
“Great Americans” (w/ Tina Fey) - Bowen’s Pick for Best of 2024
Again, as we continue to make the list of great Americans, who do we have so far? We have Sam Loomis, Kenan, who was somebody in between. Chloe Sevigny?
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
“Great Americans” (w/ Tina Fey) - Bowen’s Pick for Best of 2024

Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang

Yes. Are there too many dogs?
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
“Great Americans” (w/ Tina Fey) - Bowen’s Pick for Best of 2024
There's a lot of dogs. I mean, I don't go to like the dog park and that kind of stuff. I have people that do that. My dogs poop inside every single day.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
“Great Americans” (w/ Tina Fey) - Bowen’s Pick for Best of 2024
Oh, they're a mess. Sometimes I'm like, guys, I'm the queen of Versailles. I can't have this. And the dogs are like, we haven't watched that.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
“Great Americans” (w/ Tina Fey) - Bowen’s Pick for Best of 2024
No. Someone just told me about this. I will watch it. I did recently rewatch the original.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
“Great Americans” (w/ Tina Fey) - Bowen’s Pick for Best of 2024
Fascinating. Incredible.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
“Great Americans” (w/ Tina Fey) - Bowen’s Pick for Best of 2024
Because like all documentaries, not all, but a lot of great documentaries, they started thinking it was going to be about one thing. And then it changes. That usually is exciting.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
“Great Americans” (w/ Tina Fey) - Bowen’s Pick for Best of 2024
The Jinx and also Capturing the Freedmen's.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
“Great Americans” (w/ Tina Fey) - Bowen’s Pick for Best of 2024
Have you ever seen that?
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
“Great Americans” (w/ Tina Fey) - Bowen’s Pick for Best of 2024
Oh, yeah. Well, first of all, because it's supposed to be about this guy who's a party clown. And then it turns out that he has this dark family history and they follow that. But you know that Silly Billy, the party clown, used to play the SNL holiday party up on 17. He would come and do like party clown stuff. Like when I was a writer, when like Norm MacDonald's son would be there, that era.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
“Great Americans” (w/ Tina Fey) - Bowen’s Pick for Best of 2024
So I saw the doc and I was like, that's, oh my God, that's Silly Billy. Oh no, Silly Billy's family. Yeah.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
“Great Americans” (w/ Tina Fey) - Bowen’s Pick for Best of 2024
So, no.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
“Great Americans” (w/ Tina Fey) - Bowen’s Pick for Best of 2024
He was not.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
“Great Americans” (w/ Tina Fey) - Bowen’s Pick for Best of 2024
There used to be a little, you know what it was? They would have, when the tree lighting was happening. Yes, yes, yes. They'd have bagels and stuff. Bagels, they still do that. And people would bring their kids, yeah. Oh, they would bring their kids to that? Some people would bring, you know why? Because Lauren's kids were little. That's why.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
“Great Americans” (w/ Tina Fey) - Bowen’s Pick for Best of 2024
Yeah.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
“Great Americans” (w/ Tina Fey) - Bowen’s Pick for Best of 2024
It's a nice moment. But we were talking, you asked about New York and has, does New York have too many dogs? Probably. Does it have too much Lululemon? I mean, it's a mix in my neighborhood. It's a mix of like, there's a Lululemon and then everything else is vacant.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
“Great Americans” (w/ Tina Fey) - Bowen’s Pick for Best of 2024
The message, that was the help. Yeah. The PSA was the help.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
“Great Americans” (w/ Tina Fey) - Bowen’s Pick for Best of 2024
You want one.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
“Great Americans” (w/ Tina Fey) - Bowen’s Pick for Best of 2024
Because no one brings their dog to SNL.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
“Great Americans” (w/ Tina Fey) - Bowen’s Pick for Best of 2024
They stay in the dressing room?
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
“Great Americans” (w/ Tina Fey) - Bowen’s Pick for Best of 2024
No.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
“Great Americans” (w/ Tina Fey) - Bowen’s Pick for Best of 2024
I don't think so.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
“Great Americans” (w/ Tina Fey) - Bowen’s Pick for Best of 2024
Let everyone have what they need. Let's make sure everyone's fine.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
“Great Americans” (w/ Tina Fey) - Bowen’s Pick for Best of 2024
yeah I went there I was 97 when I went there and I mean that I see with clarity now like the 90s were so rough like rough rough rough in what sense what do you mean like kindness was not in fashion oh no
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
“Great Americans” (w/ Tina Fey) - Bowen’s Pick for Best of 2024
And no mental health was like, what?
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
“Great Americans” (w/ Tina Fey) - Bowen’s Pick for Best of 2024
What is that? What are you talking about? And that's why everyone ended up with some form of like temporary kind of OCD and, you know, but even just when you look back at. You just look back at like 90s Letterman interviews. Yeah, totally, totally. And you're like, oh my gosh, he's just like haranguing a teenager.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
“Great Americans” (w/ Tina Fey) - Bowen’s Pick for Best of 2024
And we were like, ha, ha, ha. Yeah, you got her. That dumb slut.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
“Great Americans” (w/ Tina Fey) - Bowen’s Pick for Best of 2024
That 55-year-old man told that... Dumb teenager.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
“Great Americans” (w/ Tina Fey) - Bowen’s Pick for Best of 2024
You know what I mean?
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
“Great Americans” (w/ Tina Fey) - Bowen’s Pick for Best of 2024
Oh, really? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
“Great Americans” (w/ Tina Fey) - Bowen’s Pick for Best of 2024
And there's just so many things. Even people like... Have you seen that? Again, these are all people that I, you know, hold nothing against them. But like there's some old Conan clip where the lady from Melrose Place is on. Heather Locklear? No. Oh gosh.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
“Great Americans” (w/ Tina Fey) - Bowen’s Pick for Best of 2024
The other blonde lady.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
“Great Americans” (w/ Tina Fey) - Bowen’s Pick for Best of 2024
Courtney Thorne-Smith.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
“Great Americans” (w/ Tina Fey) - Bowen’s Pick for Best of 2024
First of all, thanks for putting that out there. Thank you. I believe it's Courtney Thorne-Smith. And I forget, maybe it's like, I don't know if it's Conor on one side and Norm on the other side or something. And they're just like doing a bit, like some kind of bit that she looks really hot or whatever.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
“Great Americans” (w/ Tina Fey) - Bowen’s Pick for Best of 2024
And she's just trying to tell her story from whatever it is, the pre-interview of like a funny thing that happened to her. And it's like two maniacs on either side of her. And you're just like, oh yeah, we're not doing that anymore. But at the time it was like, ha ha ha. And those are like, Conan is a lovely, kind, involved, intelligent person.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
“Great Americans” (w/ Tina Fey) - Bowen’s Pick for Best of 2024
We all were, I should probably try to think of a story that I tell on myself instead of like, but they were like, we were just hard.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
“Great Americans” (w/ Tina Fey) - Bowen’s Pick for Best of 2024
Well, I feel like that was a crazy good time and Seth was head writer and was doing a great job and the world wasn't as dark. And yeah, for me, I felt like that was my like prayer for Owen Meany moment where I was like, was I born to look like this lady? I guess so. Yeah. But now it all seems so gentle.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
“Great Americans” (w/ Tina Fey) - Bowen’s Pick for Best of 2024
Right.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
“Great Americans” (w/ Tina Fey) - Bowen’s Pick for Best of 2024
Like doing- And he was doing Bush and stuff.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
“Great Americans” (w/ Tina Fey) - Bowen’s Pick for Best of 2024
I think I remember that was the one that my parents were like, that was a little too far. They were, because they're Republicans.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
“Great Americans” (w/ Tina Fey) - Bowen’s Pick for Best of 2024
That was a little too far? I forget what, I don't remember what the jokes were. Ah, right. They were on board till then. And then they got back on board. It wasn't a rift.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
“Great Americans” (w/ Tina Fey) - Bowen’s Pick for Best of 2024
I caused it.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
“Great Americans” (w/ Tina Fey) - Bowen’s Pick for Best of 2024
And Amy didn't. It was just me.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
“Great Americans” (w/ Tina Fey) - Bowen’s Pick for Best of 2024
That's a great memory. That's a great memory.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
“Great Americans” (w/ Tina Fey) - Bowen’s Pick for Best of 2024
Well, no, I mean, we used to, I mean, when we were at SNL, we used to go out until I had my first child. And then I would sometimes begrudgingly go out and be like, you have to sit with Lauren. I'd be like, okay.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
“Great Americans” (w/ Tina Fey) - Bowen’s Pick for Best of 2024
But we used to go, but I never was an after after. That was always, I'm like. Yeah.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
“Great Americans” (w/ Tina Fey) - Bowen’s Pick for Best of 2024
No. I remember, I feel like one time Tracy Morgan had like, he did like an illegal private casino somewhere. Yeah.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
“Great Americans” (w/ Tina Fey) - Bowen’s Pick for Best of 2024
Okay, I've been thinking about this question. I struggled to understand it, but I think I'm going to try to frame it like, have you ever done those I am from poems? Yes. Oh, yeah. So if we frame it that way, I'm also much older than you guys. And so I'm really going back. I may say things that mean nothing to you, right?
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
“Great Americans” (w/ Tina Fey) - Bowen’s Pick for Best of 2024
Like... I am from watching Benny Hill as a family. Good for you.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
“Great Americans” (w/ Tina Fey) - Bowen’s Pick for Best of 2024
What? Watching a weird old man ogle women bikinis being like, this is formative. As a family. As a family, like it's on PBS, guys. Get around. I am from, you know, a time when it just, our whole life was you go to Blockbuster.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
“Great Americans” (w/ Tina Fey) - Bowen’s Pick for Best of 2024
You rent The Stepfather. you went the now incredibly problematic sleep away camp. Oh, one or two. That's like, and you watch it with your, you know, gay friends. Again, if you want to talk about how hard it is, like cackling at like knowing, like it's horrible.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
“Great Americans” (w/ Tina Fey) - Bowen’s Pick for Best of 2024
Or like it's me and my best friend, Marlene going to pretty woman when it first came out and immediately cackling being like, we're the only ones that know that she's a sex worker. And this is grim.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
“Great Americans” (w/ Tina Fey) - Bowen’s Pick for Best of 2024
Okay, this week it's Richard Gere, but every other week it's terrible. Cackling. What else? I mean, real world New York season one. Guys, I remember getting up early with my brother to see the beginning of MTV. Wow. The first season. Video.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
“Great Americans” (w/ Tina Fey) - Bowen’s Pick for Best of 2024
Like video killed the race. Like let's put it on.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
“Great Americans” (w/ Tina Fey) - Bowen’s Pick for Best of 2024
Getting up to see Live Aid. Yeah. And being so pumped that it was partly in Philadelphia. Wait, it was? You guys like Phil Collins is on the Concord. You guys see Phil Collins is on the Concord. Wow. Yeah, it was for whatever reason, because the quality of the venue, it was in wherever it was in Wembley, I guess.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
“Great Americans” (w/ Tina Fey) - Bowen’s Pick for Best of 2024
And like Veterans Stadium in Philadelphia or something. It must have been the vet.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
“Great Americans” (w/ Tina Fey) - Bowen’s Pick for Best of 2024
No, and that was the big thing was they were like, Phil Collins is going to play with this band and then get on the Concord and play again. Oh, Phil. What else has formed who I am? You know, Sheila E., The Glamorous Life. Wow, thanks for that.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
“Great Americans” (w/ Tina Fey) - Bowen’s Pick for Best of 2024
Oh my God, that's right.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
“Great Americans” (w/ Tina Fey) - Bowen’s Pick for Best of 2024
Good, I'm glad.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
“Great Americans” (w/ Tina Fey) - Bowen’s Pick for Best of 2024
What else can I give you? The divinals, I touched myself. The divinals. That was like, or like me trying to have, to no success, trying to convince people that our junior prom theme should be, there must be an angel by Eurythmics.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
“Great Americans” (w/ Tina Fey) - Bowen’s Pick for Best of 2024
nobody was the theme I was like just gonna keep writing these papers and putting it in the box no what was it ultimately Under the Sea they needed to get well it was like Bryan Adams Heaven and then I think maybe senior year was maybe like This is the Time Billy Joel which was a new song yeah
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
“Great Americans” (w/ Tina Fey) - Bowen’s Pick for Best of 2024
You would love it.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
“Great Americans” (w/ Tina Fey) - Bowen’s Pick for Best of 2024
Renting two things over and over. Over and over. Over and over. Watching another one was like... Arachnophobia was a big one. I feel like there's a Martin Sheen one that I can't think of that was like a horror movie. Maybe that's right. And like also with my two good friends, Jim and Damien, who are brothers, who between the two of them are the amalgam that are the basis for the character Damien.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
“Great Americans” (w/ Tina Fey) - Bowen’s Pick for Best of 2024
And in their house, they had a back staircase that had been closed off and made into a pantry that was full of every kind of junk food. Absolutely. And we would just go up there and get after it. And also just like... Get after it. Get after it. It is like no one did fitness. Your outfit was like a high collar thing with a blazer. Drinking soda.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
“Great Americans” (w/ Tina Fey) - Bowen’s Pick for Best of 2024
Drank so much soda. Would eat like a cheese hoagie. So like a 12 inch hoagie with three kinds of cheese. And then still able to poop.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
“Great Americans” (w/ Tina Fey) - Bowen’s Pick for Best of 2024
I'm trying to think of Culturally, too, it was, like, V.C. Andrews' Flowers in the Attic. Flowers in the Attic. Reading those on, like, the beach at the Jersey Shore. Yes. Or, like, on the trolley to work. This is so evocative. Other weird things that I don't realize are, like, I was obsessed with Paul Young. Paul Young. That was, like, Every Time You Go Away.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
“Great Americans” (w/ Tina Fey) - Bowen’s Pick for Best of 2024
Well, he was super cute. Oh, okay. Yeah, and, like, SCTV used to be on after SNL three weekends a month, and then the fourth weekend it was wrestling, and he'd be like, uh-huh.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
“Great Americans” (w/ Tina Fey) - Bowen’s Pick for Best of 2024
Oh, my gosh. Or Andrea Martin. Andrea and Catherine.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
“Great Americans” (w/ Tina Fey) - Bowen’s Pick for Best of 2024
For sure. Andrea gives me the frisson.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
“Great Americans” (w/ Tina Fey) - Bowen’s Pick for Best of 2024
I'm more worried about what they were up to, maybe.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
“Great Americans” (w/ Tina Fey) - Bowen’s Pick for Best of 2024
Good Americans. That's going to be the name of this.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
“Great Americans” (w/ Tina Fey) - Bowen’s Pick for Best of 2024
Um... But we also, I mean, we also were like Janet Jackson, Madonna, Go-Go's, like that's a long, Eurythmics. I remember also remember when Eurythmics came out, like when the first Sweet Dreams came out. And we were like, people were scared of them. It was like, she had that short hair and she was wearing a suit and everyone was like, what's happening?
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
“Great Americans” (w/ Tina Fey) - Bowen’s Pick for Best of 2024
Yeah.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
“Great Americans” (w/ Tina Fey) - Bowen’s Pick for Best of 2024
Remember that. I do say revisit There Must Be an Angel.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
“Great Americans” (w/ Tina Fey) - Bowen’s Pick for Best of 2024

Yes.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
“Great Americans” (w/ Tina Fey) - Bowen’s Pick for Best of 2024
I've reached a point where I don't do it. Unless it's something that I'm in charge of and it's like I have to edit it. I'm like, oh, I'm going to make this movie and I have an idea. I'm never going to watch it. Yeah, got it. And that's like freeing.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
“Great Americans” (w/ Tina Fey) - Bowen’s Pick for Best of 2024
Of course. That's really exciting. I'm excited about that too. Yeah, this is going to be good. I hope so.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
“Great Americans” (w/ Tina Fey) - Bowen’s Pick for Best of 2024

Oh, that's great.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
“Great Americans” (w/ Tina Fey) - Bowen’s Pick for Best of 2024
That's where it started. First Wives Club. That makes sense.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang

Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
“Great Americans” (w/ Tina Fey) - Bowen’s Pick for Best of 2024
She's great in that movie. She's great in L.A. Story. Yes. Yeah. She's great in Ed Wood.

“Great Americans” (w/ Tina Fey) - Bowen’s Pick for Best of 2024
Wait a minute, Bowen. Ed Wood is so great.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
“Great Americans” (w/ Tina Fey) - Bowen’s Pick for Best of 2024
Yeah.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
“Great Americans” (w/ Tina Fey) - Bowen’s Pick for Best of 2024
I was going to say, except the Beacon.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
“Great Americans” (w/ Tina Fey) - Bowen’s Pick for Best of 2024
I think I mostly just sat. I feel like people at SNL do much better sort of self-care and living their lives. But I think in the beginning, my now husband was still in Chicago. So sometimes I would go back to Chicago for the week or whatever. But no, I never took one real vacation. Yeah. I'm just still learning how to do that. I'm like, all right, you book a trip and then you go there.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
“Great Americans” (w/ Tina Fey) - Bowen’s Pick for Best of 2024
Doesn't seem good after that.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
“Great Americans” (w/ Tina Fey) - Bowen’s Pick for Best of 2024
Who wrote that?
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
“Great Americans” (w/ Tina Fey) - Bowen’s Pick for Best of 2024
I am trying to remember. I know I did a bunch of it in the summer. I feel like maybe it was over two summers because it was the first time we rented a house in Fire Island on a gas tire, had recommended just doing that. And we went and we trash picked a desk and we carried it. And I remember Jeff's arms got like a huge, because you never, it's not Fire Island if you don't get a weird rash.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
“Great Americans” (w/ Tina Fey) - Bowen’s Pick for Best of 2024
And he's like immediately got a rash. And I was like, oh, I think there was deer pee all over the desk or something. What? And so I must have been doing first draft the first summer and then the shooting. I remember the second summer was the shooting draft because I would get Mark Waters, the director, I would get pages of notes every single day. And I'd be like, I think I did it.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
“Great Americans” (w/ Tina Fey) - Bowen’s Pick for Best of 2024
And then be like, okay, let's go through today again. He's like, page four. And I'd be like, hmm.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
“Great Americans” (w/ Tina Fey) - Bowen’s Pick for Best of 2024
It was stuff of like, where are they? Could this be short? It was like a lot of technical stuff. And there was an amazing woman named Jill Messick who worked for Lorne at the time. She also was just like poking me, okay, like a lot of drafts in between unofficial drafts. So I don't think I was doing it. I must've been doing it on weeks off.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
“Great Americans” (w/ Tina Fey) - Bowen’s Pick for Best of 2024
I don't think, I don't have a memory of doing it, trying to do it at the same time as the actual show.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
“Great Americans” (w/ Tina Fey) - Bowen’s Pick for Best of 2024
Yeah, because I had never been in a movie before and I didn't know what I would go and to be in the scene. I'd only done SNL and I wasn't even really in sketches on SNL, just an update.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
“Great Americans” (w/ Tina Fey) - Bowen’s Pick for Best of 2024
So I would be like, I would literally be like, in my head, I'd be like, I don't know if I'm on camera right now. So I'm going to try real hard every time.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
“Great Americans” (w/ Tina Fey) - Bowen’s Pick for Best of 2024
Like didn't know to even ask if I'm in this part of the setup. And she, her performance was so small that I remember being worried and going to Mark Waters and being like, I don't know. And then you get the dailies and it was like perfection. But it was very, it was small. It was a film performance. It wasn't like me like...
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
“Great Americans” (w/ Tina Fey) - Bowen’s Pick for Best of 2024
But you learn. But the difference is that when you see when you see people on SNL, when you see someone like Ayo who understands the assignment to use a now old phrase.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
“Great Americans” (w/ Tina Fey) - Bowen’s Pick for Best of 2024
She understands what she's supposed to do and what sketch requires. And then you compare to, well, not name names, but you see people who come in who have only ever done film, whose performances are built in the edit room, who have no internal sense of pacing or even energy. Yeah. And you, and oh!
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
“Great Americans” (w/ Tina Fey) - Bowen’s Pick for Best of 2024
Yeah. That's what Amy talks about how because we do a Q&A in our show and like we often get asked, like, you know, who are your favorite guests and stuff? And she's like, I love athletes because they're used to being coached and they don't care. And you just be like, just do that. They just do it louder and like, yeah. And they're like, OK.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
“Great Americans” (w/ Tina Fey) - Bowen’s Pick for Best of 2024
Yep. Also, by the way, people who've done then there are fewer and fewer of these people, but used to be people who had done soaps. Because you know who's got his start on soaps? Alec Baldwin. Wow. Julianne Moore.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
“Great Americans” (w/ Tina Fey) - Bowen’s Pick for Best of 2024
Make a choice. Make a choice and go.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
“Great Americans” (w/ Tina Fey) - Bowen’s Pick for Best of 2024
That's your favorite movie of the year? We love May, December. I enjoyed it, but.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
“Great Americans” (w/ Tina Fey) - Bowen’s Pick for Best of 2024
That music when she's like, we're out of hot dogs.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
“Great Americans” (w/ Tina Fey) - Bowen’s Pick for Best of 2024
Oh my God, yeah. And sometimes, you know, real stars, they don't really do what they're going to do until you're on their close up. And so, you know, you look at those first two seasons of 38 Rock and I'm like, hey! And he's like, you won that one, sir. You won that one.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
“Great Americans” (w/ Tina Fey) - Bowen’s Pick for Best of 2024
Very meaningful to me. Yeah. Because those, you know, Heathers and Clueless were hugely formative. Yeah.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
“Great Americans” (w/ Tina Fey) - Bowen’s Pick for Best of 2024
Yeah. Hello.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
“Great Americans” (w/ Tina Fey) - Bowen’s Pick for Best of 2024
Thank you. I feel like, I mean, part of the reason that it worked is because those girls were so legit and took it seriously and played it so real, you know, if they had been campy about it. Because I think that's the thing I try to sometimes pass on in whatever, writer's rooms or whatever. It's like no one, no villain... No one's the villain in their story.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
“Great Americans” (w/ Tina Fey) - Bowen’s Pick for Best of 2024
Like Regina's whole thing is like, it's hard. Like she's going to come crying to me and then I got to help her. Like no one's the villain in their own story, right? And I think they all played that perfectly because, you know, and you can see now like Regina's villain, Janice's villain, Katie's a huge villain. Like everyone's making mistakes and they played them all perfectly.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
“Great Americans” (w/ Tina Fey) - Bowen’s Pick for Best of 2024
But, you know, I think I was just at that place of like, basically like, is it going to air? You know, we're going to, it's going to get made. That was the triumph in my mind.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
“Great Americans” (w/ Tina Fey) - Bowen’s Pick for Best of 2024
I read this book, I think it's called like Wild and Crazy Guys. And it's just a little nonfiction book about that span of time where like, it's like Steve Martin, Eddie Murphy, Bill Murray, Dan, it's like all of when they all were blowing up. And what movies got made and whatever. And so many of these movies that are just canon to us, they were like, didn't really open.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
“Great Americans” (w/ Tina Fey) - Bowen’s Pick for Best of 2024
And you're like, oh, I don't care. Like, you know, I watched it 100,000 times, whatever, the man with two brains or, you know, like that was just, they just were movies, you know? And to like, not worry too much about like,
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
“Great Americans” (w/ Tina Fey) - Bowen’s Pick for Best of 2024
How it does. Yeah. How many theaters.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
“Great Americans” (w/ Tina Fey) - Bowen’s Pick for Best of 2024
Yeah, well, I think movies still are tighter. Yeah, like I feel like TV, because there's just so much more, like you are getting, like you're getting Reservation Dogs, you're getting, you know, Simon Rich's weird show where the people, you know, like, Simon, you know, it's what Bottoms felt like. Yeah, totally. So refreshing.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
“Great Americans” (w/ Tina Fey) - Bowen’s Pick for Best of 2024
So it's happening. Like, and you know, my daughter's 18, my older daughter, and that is, Bottoms is everything. Really? Everything.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
“Great Americans” (w/ Tina Fey) - Bowen’s Pick for Best of 2024
Yeah.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
“Great Americans” (w/ Tina Fey) - Bowen’s Pick for Best of 2024
Yeah.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
“Great Americans” (w/ Tina Fey) - Bowen’s Pick for Best of 2024
Gosh, I think so.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
“Great Americans” (w/ Tina Fey) - Bowen’s Pick for Best of 2024
Yeah.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
“Great Americans” (w/ Tina Fey) - Bowen’s Pick for Best of 2024
Yeah, I think so.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
“Great Americans” (w/ Tina Fey) - Bowen’s Pick for Best of 2024
Lindsay was coming. She had a lot of heat coming off of Freaky Friday. There's also Mark Waters. I think maybe. I can't remember. We should fact check for sure. But yeah. Yeah, I think so. Yeah. And she came. And I remember she came by SNL just to like hang out and be seen because I think she wanted to be considered. Yeah. She wanted to play Regina, which I think.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
“Great Americans” (w/ Tina Fey) - Bowen’s Pick for Best of 2024
And Lauren was always wise, was like, no, you want that person to be the person who takes the trajectory to Regina.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
“Great Americans” (w/ Tina Fey) - Bowen’s Pick for Best of 2024
He's basically like, that's the part that you want. She's like, okay.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
“Great Americans” (w/ Tina Fey) - Bowen’s Pick for Best of 2024
We need to feed the SNL host pipeline by ruining children.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
“Great Americans” (w/ Tina Fey) - Bowen’s Pick for Best of 2024
Fast and loud.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
“Great Americans” (w/ Tina Fey) - Bowen’s Pick for Best of 2024
Fast and loud, yeah.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
“Great Americans” (w/ Tina Fey) - Bowen’s Pick for Best of 2024
They really were. I mean, from home. They were nice. They were nice. Are you watching every week? Not every single week, but I try, you know, what sort of got me back into the, was Alice being old enough to, and like wanting to stay up and watch it. But she was not home last night because she was at the cast party for her own high school musical. What did they do? Well, The prom. She killed it.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
“Great Americans” (w/ Tina Fey) - Bowen’s Pick for Best of 2024
They all killed it. They were all great. That sounds like a tour de force opportunity.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
“Great Americans” (w/ Tina Fey) - Bowen’s Pick for Best of 2024
I know. It was super cute.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
“Great Americans” (w/ Tina Fey) - Bowen’s Pick for Best of 2024
By the way, this girl killed it. Oh, I wish I had video for you because she killed it.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
“Great Americans” (w/ Tina Fey) - Bowen’s Pick for Best of 2024
Do you know Jeff? My husband, Jeff. Yeah. Yeah. So he often brings up that like back in musical theater, like major college. Yeah. But you take makeup class and part of makeup class was always like you had to do drag or like you had to like do a gender swap with your makeup.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
“Great Americans” (w/ Tina Fey) - Bowen’s Pick for Best of 2024
And he really likes to brag that he looked, this may be too old to reference for you, but he's like, I was very pretty and I looked like Barbara Mandrell. Oh my God. He's like, I was very pretty. Have you seen photos?
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
“Great Americans” (w/ Tina Fey) - Bowen’s Pick for Best of 2024
I have not seen photos. Okay.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
“Great Americans” (w/ Tina Fey) - Bowen’s Pick for Best of 2024
I know, he has a beard right now, but he might shave it for the opportunity to show off Barbara Mandrell.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
“Great Americans” (w/ Tina Fey) - Bowen’s Pick for Best of 2024
And then you can judge whether he still looks like Barbara Mandrell.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
“Great Americans” (w/ Tina Fey) - Bowen’s Pick for Best of 2024
I bet, yeah.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
“Great Americans” (w/ Tina Fey) - Bowen’s Pick for Best of 2024
No.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
“Great Americans” (w/ Tina Fey) - Bowen’s Pick for Best of 2024
No, no, no. I feel like I do remember one time with the Golden Globes, like Alec was nominated for 30 Rock and he wasn't, and he was like, can we just call them and ask them if I won? Yeah. Because I felt like with that one, maybe you could have. And I don't think he was able to, and I don't remember if he won or not, but I don't, he was like, surely this one, they'll just tell me if I have to go.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
“Great Americans” (w/ Tina Fey) - Bowen’s Pick for Best of 2024
Yeah. And well, I mean, I bet they would. If it's Alec.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
“Great Americans” (w/ Tina Fey) - Bowen’s Pick for Best of 2024
Oh my gosh, I don't know. It's a thing because we ended, the last time we did it was this weird Zoom one that was a bummer. But we did used to have so much fun doing that. We really did.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
“Great Americans” (w/ Tina Fey) - Bowen’s Pick for Best of 2024
That's a tricky one, yeah. Not to put the pressure on. I know, but we could either try to erase the Zoom one or, yeah. Well, NBC doesn't own it anymore.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
“Great Americans” (w/ Tina Fey) - Bowen’s Pick for Best of 2024
And, you know, me, you, Countess Luann, we work for NBC.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
“Great Americans” (w/ Tina Fey) - Bowen’s Pick for Best of 2024
Has she been working on her singing? No. Because everyone does.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
“Great Americans” (w/ Tina Fey) - Bowen’s Pick for Best of 2024
It's a Bea Arthur.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
“Great Americans” (w/ Tina Fey) - Bowen’s Pick for Best of 2024
100%.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
“Great Americans” (w/ Tina Fey) - Bowen’s Pick for Best of 2024
Well, there's a lot of people who, yeah, if it's like, if you know how to put your show together and give people, and also if people know what they're signing up for.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
“Great Americans” (w/ Tina Fey) - Bowen’s Pick for Best of 2024
Sangria.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
“Great Americans” (w/ Tina Fey) - Bowen’s Pick for Best of 2024
The House Chianti.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
“Great Americans” (w/ Tina Fey) - Bowen’s Pick for Best of 2024
It was like fermented Welch's grape juice.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
“Great Americans” (w/ Tina Fey) - Bowen’s Pick for Best of 2024
Right, just sit down and do a Q&A. We did a little test run of like Netflix is a joke. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's just mostly a Q&A and a couple little like really undercooked bits and it was easy and fun. But we sort of thought like, oh, we should have a little bit of structure. And so we do. I feel like this is a really nice little structure.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
“Great Americans” (w/ Tina Fey) - Bowen’s Pick for Best of 2024
I don't know if I should give it away because we may keep touring. But like, yeah, it has sort of like Four parts. There are wardrobe changes. Oh, love. There are one to four wigs.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
“Great Americans” (w/ Tina Fey) - Bowen’s Pick for Best of 2024
Depending on the night. There is a little bit of improv. Okay. There's a little bit of standard. Come on. And a special guest. And a special guest. And so the structure, it reminded us of Golden Globes times because we always have, we have such, it's over 30 years.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
“Great Americans” (w/ Tina Fey) - Bowen’s Pick for Best of 2024
So we do really have a shorthand of like, what if we go X, Y, Z? Like there's no ego in it. There's like we, and also we both been producing things for a long time. So I do feel proud. I feel like we're giving the white women that come to see us. And other people too, but let's not fool ourselves. And 30 something Asian. And beautiful Asian gamut. All are welcome.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
“Great Americans” (w/ Tina Fey) - Bowen’s Pick for Best of 2024
I feel like we're giving people like what they want. But anyway, but also it's like hopefully a little bit
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
“Great Americans” (w/ Tina Fey) - Bowen’s Pick for Best of 2024
surprising as it goes along and but the answer is like it basically we I was on set we were finishing filming the Mean Girls movie in Middletown New Jersey and we had Amy and I had been working like once a week over zoom being like talking about what the show could be whatever and then we had from the day I finished and it was a brutal it was a very tiring fast shoot it was like a lot of late nights and whatever and um
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
“Great Americans” (w/ Tina Fey) - Bowen’s Pick for Best of 2024
So that was, say I finished on like the Monday and then like Saturday, we were like, our test show was in Port Chester. So she came and we had like three or four days. It was very much like the Golden Globes. We were like, okay, we got this, we got this.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
“Great Americans” (w/ Tina Fey) - Bowen’s Pick for Best of 2024
And we just sort of finished figuring out the show and we've honed it some since, but it is sort of like, you know, when you write stuff and it's born quickly and it just comes right out, it's usually a good sign. And the structure kind of just slipped right out, so.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
“Great Americans” (w/ Tina Fey) - Bowen’s Pick for Best of 2024
Yeah, so we started, you know, we were in, we started together at ImprovOlympic. Yeah. Sharna Halpern said to both of us, this girl, you're going to like this girl. We're going to put you on the same team. And we were the only two girls on a team inside Vladimir.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
“Great Americans” (w/ Tina Fey) - Bowen’s Pick for Best of 2024
and which is a gay porn that's what it's named after a gay porn VHS tape that was on display at JJ Peppers on Clark and Farway oh my god it's huge for them I remember we also were like we named it after that and then as a team we were like we should all watch it once as a group and then we were like oh we watched like the first 10 minutes and then people drifted to other parts of the party except for like one or two of the straight guys that just hung in yeah right code switching icon yes yes
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
“Great Americans” (w/ Tina Fey) - Bowen’s Pick for Best of 2024
And so we toured together and then she, and we were both understudies for the main stage and she was 100% the A team and I was the B team. Like, I remember one time Kelly Leonard was like, you know, so-and-so's going, Dratch, Dratch is going on vacation and Amy can't, she can do all of the nights except one. And I was like, so I get it.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
“Great Americans” (w/ Tina Fey) - Bowen’s Pick for Best of 2024
And he's like, no, you're going to, she's going to do all the nights except one and you're going to go on one time. And I was like, okay. Okay. But, and then she left to go do UCB show in New York. And then, and then I did main stage literally only because she left or I would have been waiting another two years behind her. I was John Glazer's understudy. Oh, John Glazer.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
“Great Americans” (w/ Tina Fey) - Bowen’s Pick for Best of 2024
And he is such like a gender neutral in his comedy that I just was like, yeah, you can just step right in. Totally. Cause it's all just like wonderful weirdness.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
“Great Americans” (w/ Tina Fey) - Bowen’s Pick for Best of 2024
Oh, they're the best.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
“Great Americans” (w/ Tina Fey) - Bowen’s Pick for Best of 2024
I see them on Fire Island Summers in the summer.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
“Great Americans” (w/ Tina Fey) - Bowen’s Pick for Best of 2024
Fire Island Pines.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
“Great Americans” (w/ Tina Fey) - Bowen’s Pick for Best of 2024
Oh, so then I ended up trying to get a writing job at SNL and Adam McKay hired me and I started. And then, yeah, so at some point, I guess after the UCB TV show ended, I was like, but would you ever, but would you ever come over here? Would you ever audition? And I feel like it was sort of brokered that she was like, Basically, like I am not doing three through the door.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
“Great Americans” (w/ Tina Fey) - Bowen’s Pick for Best of 2024
Like I'm not like I'm too established to come with my characters in my box of wigs. And so it was some kind of in between. It was more like a camera test.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
“Great Americans” (w/ Tina Fey) - Bowen’s Pick for Best of 2024
There was something where I was like, I'm not going to work too hard.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
“Great Americans” (w/ Tina Fey) - Bowen’s Pick for Best of 2024
Yeah. Forever the Enneagram 8. The Challenger.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
“Great Americans” (w/ Tina Fey) - Bowen’s Pick for Best of 2024
I'm three.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
“Great Americans” (w/ Tina Fey) - Bowen’s Pick for Best of 2024
Amy's obsessed with it.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
“Great Americans” (w/ Tina Fey) - Bowen’s Pick for Best of 2024
You need to take the test tonight.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
“Great Americans” (w/ Tina Fey) - Bowen’s Pick for Best of 2024
Amy's an eight.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
“Great Americans” (w/ Tina Fey) - Bowen’s Pick for Best of 2024
It's one through nine.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
“Great Americans” (w/ Tina Fey) - Bowen’s Pick for Best of 2024
I forget what nine is because I don't know a lot of nines.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
“Great Americans” (w/ Tina Fey) - Bowen’s Pick for Best of 2024
Wing.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
“Great Americans” (w/ Tina Fey) - Bowen’s Pick for Best of 2024
Wing four.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
“Great Americans” (w/ Tina Fey) - Bowen’s Pick for Best of 2024
Oh, this is going to take over your life.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
“Great Americans” (w/ Tina Fey) - Bowen’s Pick for Best of 2024
I know I'm a Taurus. I don't believe so much in astrology because it's random. And again, I'm not the Enneagram stuff. It's because I've been on tour with Amy for the last 17 weekends. So we're talking about a lot.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
“Great Americans” (w/ Tina Fey) - Bowen’s Pick for Best of 2024
But I do put more stock in it because it's based on you answer a million questions. And it's based on you and what you think and how you react. That's the word, qualitative.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
“Great Americans” (w/ Tina Fey) - Bowen’s Pick for Best of 2024
No, we're not opposites.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
“Great Americans” (w/ Tina Fey) - Bowen’s Pick for Best of 2024
Our personas are opposites, right? Because it's more like I'm sort of tightly buttoned up and then she's more like little Boston dirtbag. But we're both actually pretty bossy. But yeah, to answer your question, when did I realize that we're sort of more powerful together?
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
“Great Americans” (w/ Tina Fey) - Bowen’s Pick for Best of 2024
I remember before, like Jimmy, I was doing an update with Jimmy and then he left and I was, felt very abandoned because I was like, he left, like he left.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
“Great Americans” (w/ Tina Fey) - Bowen’s Pick for Best of 2024
And I did tests with other people and stuff. And then Lauren was doing that. And I think he was like, what do you think? Like leaving it sort of up to me. And I, there was a part of me that was like, oh God, I think I'm supposed to want to do this by myself. Like that's the power move. But I was like, but I'm a sketch person. I'm not a standup.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
“Great Americans” (w/ Tina Fey) - Bowen’s Pick for Best of 2024
Right, and at the very like last minute, I remember I was coming back, this is too much information. I was coming back from a train trip from Washington, D.C., where I had weirdly and presciently taken a photograph for like the cover of, I don't know what.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
“Great Americans” (w/ Tina Fey) - Bowen’s Pick for Best of 2024
With John McCain, like in 2000, whatever, but way before 2008. And I had to make the decision on the Amtrak ride back. And I called Amy and I was like, would you do me the great honor of being my wife? And then it just worked from there. And I think by the time the Globes and the Hillary and Sarah, all of it all, it just was like, oh, people do like us together.

Everyone who's still in the room has lost. Get out of there. So like front loaded, don't go too long. Work the room. And also literally just like say who you are and remind people how they know you. I feel like we had just... Training from SNL of just like watching a million monologues.

I mean, I do think you guys are thoughtful and gentle. And if you say you don't like something, it's not just like just to be jerks. You know, you obviously were very thoughtful about those movies, but it does become a thing where it's like, oh, do you want to be people who keep it real and have their podcast forever?

Little Broadway cunts on TikTok complaining about two lines of Revenge Party when I bring you fucking Rene Rapp. I bring you Ali'i Cravalho, Jaquel Spivey. This is why we can't have nice things.

You guys were probably in middle school because it was before nobody was aware. No one was like working the camera yet. Nobody was. And it was just really I just wanted to see people's apartments.

But I'll go.
Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
“Great Americans” (w/ Tina Fey) - Bowen’s Pick for Best of 2024
And there are amazing things at Mad TV and amazing, hilarious people came out of Mad TV, but there just wasn't that unifying core taste.
