Q: Would you host?

Maybe, maybe. If they ask me, I would love to.

Q: Who was the worst?

Who was the worst? Ummm.  Oh god, I can’t say. There are some that would come in and they would come in with their own writers and the writers on the set do not like that. They were like, ‘Ugh.’  So, that’s not a good way to start off.

Q: Want to name names?

No.

Q: Where you there for Steven Segal?

I wasn’t there no.

Q: Do you watch it now? 

I do yeah.

Q: Do you ever recognize that they want to kill that host or they aren’t happy?

Yeah. Oh, yeah.  I love to watch the good nights, because my husband is like, ‘Why do you always like to watch the good nights?’  Cause I will slow it down. ‘Good Night!’  I love it because you can read so much into what is going on.  These two never sit on the same side of the stage.  I look at that and go, ‘You know these two do not like, because they never…’ There is whole show going on in the ‘Good night everybody!’  You can tell kind of how the cast feels about the host, cause sometimes you can see – like sometimes nobody is even near them.

Q: Who do you like this season?

Omigod, there are just so many great ones. I couldn’t say, because I know a lot o them and I’d never want to rate them.  I don’t’ want to say.

Q: Was the attitude different when a guest host was there just for ratings?

Oh, right.  Is there a difference between somebody who is there for ratings. Oh, yeah, yeah. There are certain people that the cast was like, ‘Yeah, yeah, so and so is coming!’ and there are just so excited to write for them and it’s so great. And then there are others where they are like, ‘Ugh.’ They don’t even turn in their good stuff because ‘Eh.’ Y’know? So, then there is a lot of that.  Or there are certain people that are high profile that you know will be a big show so they will put in their best things in because it will be highly rated cause they are very hot and they want to get a good piece in with that star.  So, there is a lot of that.

Q: What is it like when alumni like Alec Baldwin or Steve Martin come back?

People are usually really excited, because Alec Baldwin is just somebody writers love to write for because he makes so much better and he’s great, great to write for. So, mostly those performers are great to write for and they also understand comedy so they are good to work with because they get it and they will be helpful.

Q: Do you watch ’30 Rock’?

I just did a little part on it actually. 

Q: I was wondering when you watch it if you feel like you’re watching what it was like when you were on SNL?

Yes, it does. Because I watched the other one and I was like this doesn’t look at all from the other one?  This is a pretty show, but the Tina show – that’s what it looks like, that’s what it feels like with the writers and the thing and this and that. That’s exactly – that’s much more what it’s like.

Q: Do you think it’s much more accurate than she’s letting on?

No, some of them are silly and made up. Some of them are accurate, but some of it is just part of the show.  I feel like the writer thing, like the fuckin’ around. That stuff is really familiar, like the writer’s room stuff. But the whole, like the boss and her that seems a little, I’m not sure I had that experience.

Q: What was your experience like on the show? (“30 Rock”)

It was great.  It was just really easy. I just shot my part in a day and it was just great to see Tina and meet her little girl and see Jeff her husband and she’s just amazing and if anybody can do, get a show on the air that’s like well written and funny it would be Tina. She can do that. Of all people, I was like, ‘Oh, she’ll do it. She’ll figure it out.’ It’s just a hard thing to crack to like to do that and she’s doing it and doing such a good job. She’s amazing.  And Alec is so nice.

Q: Was Brad Pitt involved in making the movie? Did he come to the set?

He was.  He came to the set and no, he didn’t give me notes.  He wasn’t like that hands on a producer, but I was eating lunch one day with my kids and I had this Irish nanny who was helping me with my kids that day and we were sitting there eating with one of the producer’s who runs Brad Pitt’s company and he came down and sat down at our table and all of a sudden I was like, ‘Oh my god!’ And I looked at my Irish nanny and he suddenly realized its Brad Pitt! And it’s kind of funny to watch like a superstar like that, because y’know we are in the tent eating lunch and you feel like a wave of like --- people start to get in a flurry and act like they aren’t noticing, but he really handles it really well. He’s really nice and as normal as he can be considering he creates like a tornado wherever he walks. It’s like a raucous of people getting their feather’s ruffled. I felt really distracted because it was the day I had to do the scene with Peter on the bench and I’m like, ‘I like you.’ And I was like doing the scene and it’s this really dramatic scene and I was like, ‘That’s Brad Pitt walking over there!’  (Laughs.) Do you know what I mean? It’s very distracting.  I mean, I find it so distracting.  He was there for awhile and I was like, ‘Get out of here!’  (Laughs.)

Q: Was he with his family?

No, he was just by himself with his motorcycle and his hat. He seems very sweet and very normal and nice. Supportive.
