I remember listening to Bring the Pain in bed, and kicking my comforter off laughing so hard as a kid. After I would finish my homework - actually that’s a lie I didn’t do my homework - I would get into bed and listen to Woody Allen’s first album, or Chris Rock. I would read about old comedians, listen to comedy albums. What do you do for fun? I don’t do anything.
MATTHEW BANKS COMEDY TV
I’m getting married, and I worked on a TV pilot, so there was a lot of fun stuff where I could be 30 and say, “Yeah, my hip hurts.” It was nice. I was done with them, and I was rally excited to be 30. Is there any difference from being in your 20’s? Yes, I wanted there to be. The program will invite creators to nine YouTube Space locations around the world, where they will develop female-centric comedy content with mentorship from. You’ve just spent your first year in your 30’s. We were doing that as a character, and then Bill wanted to base it on this guy that he knew. “This place is gonna have everything: It’s gonna have grown men in wedding dresses, and then like, a goat with Ray-Bans.” It was all little details that he understood, and he assumed other people understood. And I knew this guy that was always trying to start these club nights, and he would list details of what was going to be in them. He would always put his hands over his face, and he once said to Bill that he lived on the Lower Lower Eastside. There was a guy Bill would buy coffee from, who had Stefon’s mannerisms.
MATTHEW BANKS COMEDY UPDATE
How did Stefon, the “City Correspondent” on Weekend Update come to be? That’s a character I wrote with Bill Hader.
They are two different types of ideas: The stories and opinions I have in my world of stand-up, and the more fun, crazy, world you can explore doing sketch comedy. And … you can get the opportunity to set it in the world of Beauty and the Beast, or on a ship, or in a Frankenstein lair, or the Whitehouse, or whatever. So it’s always really fun to think of wilder, different ideas than I would do or perform as a stand-up comedian. There’s stuff that Bill Hader and Fred Armisen can do that I could never do. What is the difference between writing for SNL and performing stand-up? Writing at Saturday Night Live, I could come up with things that I don’t really have the skill set to do.
