Quotes 

• Wes Mendell : [going onstage in the middle of a sketch]  Listen, fellas, we're going to stop that.

  Tom Jeter : Did we lose the feed?

  Wes Mendell : No, we're live. I want both of you to clear the stage - I don't want anyone to think that you were a part of this.

  [Audience laughs] 

  Wes Mendell : Clear the stage. Go on.

  Cal Shanley : [Audience still laughing] 

  Wes Mendell : Uh, it's not going to be a very good show tonight. I think you should change the channel.

  Cal Shanley : [in the control booth] 

  Lilly : What the hell?

  Wes Mendell : Change the channel. Right now.

  Control Room Assistant : When did they put this in?

  Lilly : Does anyone know what the hell is going on?

  Wes Mendell : Better yet, turn off the TV, okay?

  Cal Shanley : [Audience laughs] 

  Wes Mendell : No, no, I know like it seems like this is supposed to be funny, but tomorrow, tomorrow you're going to find out that it wasn't, and by that time I'll have been fired.

  [Audience laughs] 

  Wes Mendell : No, this - this is not supposed - this is not a sketch!

  Cal Shanley : [over the radio]  Uh, this is real.

• Tom Jeter : [playing George W. Bush in a sketch]  "Legacy" is a 480 SAT word which, as it turns out, does not mean a woman with nice legs.
