Co-host Bowen Yang and Matt Rogers shared a tactic from their friend and former SNL writer Sudi Green about handling unsolicited SNL sketch ideas from waiters or strangers. If the pitch persists, they reply:

“Even if we did take your idea, it would be a huge legal problem because the waiter could sue us later.”

This response reportedly ends the conversation quickly.

Lawrence, who hosted SNL once in 2013 at age 22, admitted her episode “was not great,” though she did not blame herself. Bowen Yang reassured her that she was great on the show, but she remained unconvinced:

She also recalled a moment when she met Mark Ronson and impulsively sang him a song she wrote about a street sweeper. His brief response was simply, “Nice to meet you.”
