00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.169
So having been on SNL for so long,
how difficult was it

2
00:00:03.169 --> 00:00:06.840
to step away from that
and start the next chapter of your career?

3
00:00:06.881 --> 00:00:08.883
What goes into that kind of decision
making?

4
00:00:09.384 --> 00:00:12.345
Having a baby helps.

5
00:00:12.345 --> 00:00:14.055
Yeah, having something to focus on
definitely

6
00:00:14.055 --> 00:00:17.100
helped that the first couple of months
after SNL was a little weird.

7
00:00:17.142 --> 00:00:18.435
You know, it's a little.

8
00:00:18.435 --> 00:00:19.436
It's my life's dream.

9
00:00:19.436 --> 00:00:21.021
I was there nine years.

10
00:00:21.021 --> 00:00:24.232
It was all consuming for so long.

11
00:00:24.232 --> 00:00:25.442
And then when it goes away,

12
00:00:25.442 --> 00:00:27.777
you're a little bit like, Well, what do I
what do I do now?

13
00:00:28.028 --> 00:00:31.781
And now being five years out
and like seeing the news

14
00:00:31.781 --> 00:00:32.282
this week

15
00:00:32.282 --> 00:00:33.825
that they're hiring a bunch of new people

16
00:00:33.825 --> 00:00:36.161
and just being able
to feel happy for them.

17
00:00:36.161 --> 00:00:38.288
And that's it is very nice.

18
00:00:38.455 --> 00:00:42.667
It's very nice to be separated from it
for long enough now that I go like, Wow,

19
00:00:42.667 --> 00:00:46.546
that was a really amazing special time
in my life and I'll love it forever.

20
00:00:46.713 --> 00:00:46.921
Yeah.

21
00:00:46.921 --> 00:00:50.467
So you hear that current cast members
have a baby if you're ready to move on.

22
00:00:50.467 --> 00:00:51.051
Yeah, just.

23
00:00:51.092 --> 00:00:53.678
Just get busy with something
else. Get busy.

24
00:00:54.220 --> 00:00:58.725
You heard it from Bobby in your debut
picture book, Not All Sheep Are Boring.

25
00:00:58.725 --> 00:01:00.101
It's available now.

26
00:01:00.101 --> 00:01:04.022
What inspired you to write a kids book
and how did you reformat

27
00:01:04.022 --> 00:01:05.565
your sense of humor for children?

28
00:01:05.565 --> 00:01:08.485
You know, I have a kid now
doing a lot of reading before bedtime.

29
00:01:08.485 --> 00:01:11.571
And the concept of
why do people count sheep to fall

30
00:01:11.571 --> 00:01:14.991
asleep came up or in my mind
and just started thinking like, why ?

31
00:01:14.991 --> 00:01:16.910
Why, why is that? Are they boring?

32
00:01:16.910 --> 00:01:18.328
And we're going
to get to the bottom of it.

33
00:01:18.328 --> 00:01:23.500
I realize now I wrote myself a monologue
to do for my daughter before I go to bed.

34
00:01:23.541 --> 00:01:25.627
So do you think parents
need to be comedians

35
00:01:25.627 --> 00:01:27.420
in order to embody these characters?

36
00:01:27.420 --> 00:01:28.671
I think it would help. No,

37
00:01:29.672 --> 00:01:31.007
no, I think I think

38
00:01:31.007 --> 00:01:33.676
that's the whole fun of it
is making up different voices

39
00:01:33.676 --> 00:01:36.846
for all the different sheep and pretending
and whatever you want to do.

40
00:01:37.263 --> 00:01:39.599
That's beautiful.
Not all sheep are boring.

41
00:01:39.766 --> 00:01:41.976
Learn about it. It's
available now, but some are.
