Is grocery shopping a different experience during the pandemic? Our whole relationship changed when he told me he loved Anita Baker.


What's so weird is, (until) the last season, I didn't know he had an Anita Baker thing. (They had an intense but fictitious relationship on "SNL.") Leaving probably put a strain on your connection with Kyle Mooney. What I learned there is great, but I don't miss the hundred hours a week.

Now I'm free and y'all can really see Leslie. Of course, I learned a lot at "SNL." I love what I learned there, but I (was) 47. I know that would be terrible for me to just say it like that. This is your second season away from "SNL." Do you miss it? You have clubs that do like 10 people in the (room) for social distance. It's hard not being able to go out, but a lot of (them) are finding ways to make it happen. What else is comedy but a small room with a bunch of people packed in it, breathing the same air? A lot of comedians are suffering right now. Jones: When 9/11 happened and people couldn't fly, that devastated comedians. How has the pandemic affected standup comedy? And he's letting us know that this is up." People would have been like, "Dang, you know what? That man is looking out for us. Only thing that he had to do was just be that person that goes, "Hey, you guys, let’s wear our masks." He could have did all the other crazy stuff and been a hero. I hope I don't get in trouble, but this is what I'm going to say: Trump could have came out on the better side of this. Jones: I hadn't planned on live-tweeting 'Supermarket Sweep.' … but that's not a bad idea to maybe live-tweet the first hour. "Hey, you guys, we’ll probably get back to normal, but let's escape for an hour and watch some insane people run through the store and win real money and change their life and watch me make fun of 'em."įans love when you live-tweet the Olympics.

Leslie Jones: Yeah, but isn't TV supposed to be fantasy? It's escapism. Is "Sweep" a fantasy, especially in the pandemic, since there are no masks and people can run around without social distancing?

Tan and Munoz “did a number of Zoom calls with casting directors and producers selling our awesome selves and playing grocery-themed games to show them that we got what it takes,” Tan said. “A friend at work applied for my friend Angelique and I because she thought our crazy humor, competitiveness and passion for all things grocery-related would make for good TV.
