A Sleepy Lil Ep
Seth, Andy, and Akiva (Jorma absent) discuss Horse Play, the Season 36 Episode 7 Anne Hathaway SNL short with its soundtrack parade of impressions (Randy Newman, Alanis Morissette, Robert Smith, Adam Lambert), plus the cut Jeff Montgomery sketch with Jon Hamm and Will Forte about a registered sex offender's Halloween visits. Tangents include the Laser Cats film link, Coors Light and Sprite 'light and light,' Spider-Noir/Scream casting trivia, the J.K. Simmons Mets game appearance, and Quaid Army sightings. The memorable beat is the 'righteous kill' returned on an ATM walk, and the running gag of Andy's 'fuck the Ewok' Star Wars marry-fuck-kill game.

Because I'm going to see if Andy knows it because I think you're about to give it away. Andy. Yeah. There were two ghost faces. Yeah. The other ghost face has since the movie came out won an Oscar. Who is the other…

Pass. Coors Light Shandy is what I'm seeing it as. And then it is those two ingredients? Yeah, I mean, that's how to make Coors Light Shandy is Coors Light and Sprite. There you go. But you were calling it... What were…

Also, the guy who's just in the shitter with Newman from Seinfeld. Right. Wait, what? Just sitting there with it, like, got him mic'd and everything. Oh, yeah. Hey. Did you see, we're talking about Ben Reilly. Did you…

J.K. Simmons and Spider-Man at Mets game
14:27J.K. Simmons appeared at a Mets game where the Jumbotron showed him with a Spider-Man reading the Daily Planet. Simmons plays Jonah Jameson in the Spider-Man films.
They put him on the Jumbotron. And sitting behind him is a dude in a Spider-Man costume reading the Daily Planet.

How do you feel like you are with returning the Righteous Kill? Uh, pretty smooth. Yeah. Yeah. I'm always surprised when it happens though. Ah, it's a delight. Like likewise. Yeah. It's just fun. It's a fun thing.…

Righteous kill on the ATM walk
18:03Seth shares a righteous kill exchange on the street when a dog walker's tentative Quaid Army greeting earns a finger gun reply. It shows how the Quaid Army greeting works in real life.
And I feel like I shot back a finger gun righteous kill like the coolest dude in New York City.
Goes back to righteous kill, Ep. 52, 38:17:
Oh, Righteous Kill. Have we ever talked about Righteous Kill as a saying?

So, Horseplate, Zan Hathaway, and then Jon Hamm had a Jeff Montgomery that never saw air

Randy Newman's Fred impression
20:43The Horse Play soundtrack's first impression is of Randy Newman, here performed as a Fred-style song. Co-writer credit cited is for Three Amigos, a reference the hosts use to pin down the song's origin.
Of course. It is good to tell them it's Fred. Co-writer of Three Amigos.
-
Anne Hathaway as Alanis Morissette
22:49Anne Hathaway's Alanis Morissette impression is praised for its voice details in the Horse Play soundtrack parade.
She nailed all those little voice things. With a totally original song by the Cure frontman, Robert Smith.
-
Horse Play's 'Don't eat the field' hook
22:57The horse sketch's running gag is that the horses keep eating the grass instead of playing ball. The hook repeats throughout the soundtrack.
Jose, Jose, show me how you do that trick. The one where you play baseball.
-
Short, restrained impression pacing
26:22The hosts praise Andy Samberg's restraint in keeping his Robert Smith impression brief, letting the audience see the difference between verses.
I've got a 15-second Robert Smith impression. I wouldn't be...
-
Horseplay as a closer look episode
27:38The hosts discuss Horse Play as the episode for a closer look, revisiting Season 36 material as a segment of the show.
I'm glad we ventured back. It's fun. It's a good old-fashioned impression parade.
-
Dress rehearsal impression swap
33:06Andy says he played Morrissey at dress rehearsal and switched to the lead singer of Spin Doctors on air, a change he and the team agreed to in Doggy Duty.
I did indeed play Morrissey at dress rehearsal and switched to the lead singer of Spin Doctors on air.
-
Jost and Forte at their finest
35:03Akiva says the Jeff Montgomery sketch was miraculous to get away with, with Jon Hamm answering the door and Will Forte as Jeff Montgomery, a perfect sketch by the hosts' standards.
It was miraculous that it got away with it, and it had to be perfect to do it, which it was.
-
Jeff Montgomery cut from dress
35:31Jeff Montgomery is a cut sketch with Jon Hamm and Will Forte about a registered sex offender trying to fulfill a court-ordered neighborhood notification. It was not close to making air, and Seth had no memory of it.
I have no memory of this except knowing that if memory serves, it was not close to making the show.
-
Hugh Grant and Hugh G. Rection joke
36:16In the cut sketch, a character names Hugh Hefner, Hugh Grant, and Hugh G. Rection as possible Hughs, a jab that stops short of a full punchline.
There are a lot of Hugh's out there. Hugh Hefner, Hugh Grant, Hugh G. Rection.
-
Clip censorship plan
38:14The hosts decide to play only the first minute of the cut Jeff Montgomery sketch on air and keep the rest as a dirty little secret.
Then we'll just stop the thing and then play all of this. And then they'll understand why.
-
Doggy Duty as the third in the series
39:26The hosts recall Doggy Duty as the third of the closer-look series, after X vs. Sever and Bunny Business, a running pattern in the revisited episodes.
Nightfall. Doggy Doody. Doggy Doody. Oh, Doggy Doody.

Marry, fuck, kill the Ewoks
40:23Andy's running Star Wars question asks which of Jar Jar, Wicket, and the Jabba squid-hair assistant to marry, fuck, or kill. Seth answers kill the Jabba and marry Jar Jar, and Andy's 'fuck the Ewok' answer prompts a laugh.
Seth, fuck, marry, kill Jar Jar, Wicket, the main Ewok, and the guy who speaks on behalf of Jabba the Hutt.

Seth, fuck, marry, kill Jar Jar, Wicket, the main Ewok, and the guy who speaks on behalf of Jabba the Hutt with, like, the squid hair. Okay, great. Well, oh, man, this is tough. I mean... You can't say fuck all three,…

The Mandalorian and Grogu
42:16A tangent on Jeremy Allen White's Star Wars role in The Mandalorian and Grogu, linked by the Hutt characters calling everyone 'cousin.'
I don't think it's a spoiler that he's in Mandalorian and Grogu.

Queen Bee attempt with two hints
43:10Andy admits to using two hints for a Queen Bee in the NYT Spelling Bee, noting the day had 63 words, and cites the lost words Volant and Novation.
I got Queen Bee with two hints.
-
Quibi returns to the Bee
44:02Quibi is the Spelling Bee shorthand for Queen Bee and the hosts use it to report results. The term was picked up from a listener.
I did get Quibi last two days. Don't care.
