Ana: It’s nothing but hectic.

Will: However, it is a lot of fun.

Latelinetv: How many years of comedy practice did it take you o get to SNL?

Ana: Informally, my entire life, but about five.

Will: Since I was in high school.

Zacaboy: What is your favorite spartan cheer Will?

Will: My favorite cheer is the "Chess Cheer" about Bobby Fischer.

Chevychase: How do you feel about the comments of today's SNL not being as good or as funny as the days of old?

Ana: We haven’t heard many of them lately, so that's nice

Jonnie5: What's this I hear about a movie coming up with Will and Chris?

Will: It's called "A Night at the Roxbury" and it's the story of the two club guys coming out in October.

Jonnie5: Will there be any cast changes next season?

Will: I know that I've been fired.

Ana: And I plan to start temping.

Snlmike: Do either of you know Louis Klein, the man who goes to every episode? I'm going to be the next Louis. You'll see me every Friday night next season.

Ana: We know him very well.

Will: Yes.

Jennyb: Ana, I read that you were going to be a part of the Lilith fair, what is your act going to be like? By the way you have a great voice, ever think of making an album?

Ana: Thanks for the endorsement, I'll be performing as Cinder Calhoun, which is thanks to Sarah McClachan and her sense of humor.

Alleycat9: Ana, any talk of you being WU update co-anchor? (I think you would be great!)

Ana: Thanks again, but everybody including me is very happy with Colin.

Gikey: You guys are so funny! How do you keep from cracking on stage?

Will: We don't, we laugh all the time-especially during Bobbi and Marty, and it's hard to look at Ana in that wig!

Ericktul: Is Will going to do the Harry Caray sketch ever again? It seems I'm getting a lot of response to continue to do it, so maybe next year.

Lady Gwen: Hello has there ever been any major mess up when you were taping live and you had to just continue, I love the show!
