    Just like they dumbed down Matt LeBlanc when he played Joey, Wally is actually a damn brilliant guy.

    Wally was better than Bronson would have been. Sincere interviews about behind the scenes stuff is way more fun than some celebrity giving rehearsed lines.

    This interview is so wholesome and great. I totally agree 100% with @AdultishGambino’s earlier comment about the overall state of the show. It’s absolutely great!
    I would love to see more crew interviews, maybe as online exclusives alongside Corrections? Just a thought… Can’t wait for the “True story of Mikey the Shoe”.

    I honestly have no idea who that Action guy is, but I am so glad he didn’t show up and Wally replaced him. Not only was it a great interview, but I learned something that changed my whole view of SNL. Every time I’ve seen someone obviously reading the cue cards, I thought they were just bad at memorizing their lines. I had no idea that they were supposed to be reading the cue cards and not memorizing. I mean, they still had the problem of reading them too obviously, but still…

    That was actually helpful. I make homemade videos for a blog and have mini scripts that I print out for myself and always wonder if I should get a teleprompter.
