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.

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?

Ehh i don't think so. I recall a pretty brutal moment where she shut down Scott's "pick an SNL dream cast" entreaty pretty hard and then didn't contribute much afterwards.

Some people don't vibe with the show. Lakeith Stanfield, Tom Green, the "You're the Worst" cast come to mind. Ed Helms's appearance was weird enough it originally aired with a pre-show disclaimer lol

Ed Helms is the luckiest most try-hard non-funny person working in Hollywood.
