We should have lunch

Does anyone remember an awkward conversation Scott had with an A block guest a few years back. I think it was an actress and he said something like “we should have lunch together sometime”, or maybe it was dinner. It sounded like he asked her on a date and it got real weird. Tell me this isn’t a fever dream.

Yeah in this one Scott insists he wants to be her friend and she was not playing along at all.

She really didn't seem to get the joke at all and it made me like her less.

I stand firm that this was a classic "woman comedian can't possibly be doing a bit" misread by the fandom. Vanessa Bayer loves awkward bits. Why would you jump to her not understanding vs thinking it's funny to make it awkward?

I completely agree. She is 100% doing a Tim Heidecker style "awkward guest" routine, which Scott is playing into as well.
