Glenn tells Pete she loves his writing and acting on Weekend Update, and Pete tells her he much prefers it to having to dress up in wacky costumes. She also talks about her admiration for people like Pete and Robin Williams, who was a good friend of hers, and how their job is "courageous."
“I find standup comedy one of the most terrifying propositions I could think of — and yet, there are people like you, and Robin was a friend of mine. It’s an act of courage in my eyes,” she says. “I once went with Robin to one of the clubs he used to work out new material in, in San Francisco. And it was excruciating because he just didn’t have the crowd. He just kept at it. And at the end, he had them.”
“There’s obviously tons of more courageous jobs,” Davidson responds. “But I do think it is courageous to get onstage in front of people because it is terrifying. The reason why I think I was able to do it is because a shitty thing happened to me when I was really young. We lost my dad. When I was 16, I always wanted to try it because it was what got me by — Eddie Murphy and Chappelle and Bill Burr. My friends were like, ‘You should do it.’ And it went okay.”
