   Akiva left SNL early after a film offer with Jason Segel, Jonah Hill and Jason Schwartzman, and Lorne let him miss four shorts on the condition that he tag them onto his contract.

   Akiva's running theory that hair shows what's inside one's brain, which Jorma invokes and Akiva qualifies for people in their 20s.

   You know what I'll say, Seth? Of all the jokes all these years later, that's the one I would have lost. Didn't need the dinky wiener. Well, that, because you said the nipple stuff didn't make it into a bunch of them. I…

11. Booty Call's origin in You Don't Know My Name

    39:00

    The short was inspired by Alicia Keys' music video for 'You Don't Know My Name,' where her waitress character calls the man she admires, and the team flipped it into a phone call from Andy.

    And she had a song, You Don't Know My Name, that I think you know, maybe was out in the few months before.

12. Booty Call shot at midnight Friday

    40:05

    Alicia Keys was only available at midnight Friday, so the short was filmed late and had to air the next day, which Kreisel says took him by surprise after the leisurely pace he was used to.

    they're like, Alicia's available Friday night at midnight, which to me coming from a completely other world of production

15. Scared Straight, Barkley style

    47:45

    The Scared Straight sketch riffs on the real-life program where inmates lecture at-risk kids, with Barkley playing an inmate character.

    Now, what are they in here for? You know what? Let me guess. Cannibalism.

16. Grief Counselors Second Chance bit

    48:42

    Seth's favorite Second Chance Theater sketch resurfaces as a bit, in which grief counselors arrive after a Discount Meats salmonella outbreak.

    All right, everyone, I know this has been a rough couple of days. We did not bring in the New Year well.

17. Quibi sobriety chip

    50:59

18. Clean Quibi streak

    51:07

    Seth's four-day Quibi streak is a callback to the Spelling Bee term that marks a clean, hint-free win.

    51:48

    Give them like a Bed Bath & Beyond gift card. Before we go, I just want to say, Seth. I think it's so fucked up that we never hooked up. Jesus.
