Ep400 - Bobby Moynihan: Collectibles, Comedy, and Catharsis
From growing up in Eastchester, New York with dreams of joining Saturday Night Live to becoming one of the most beloved cast members in its history, Bobby Moynihan’s story is packed with heart, humor, and a lot of unexpected turns. In this episode, Bobby reflects on his nine seasons at SNL—including the anxiety, the magic, and the behind-the-scenes chaos—and shares how improv and the Upright Citizens Brigade (UCB) shaped his creative voice. He opens up about working with legends like Keenan Thompson and Colin Jost, the surreal experience of being called into the 50th anniversary show just hours before it taped, and the moment he realized he’d become “Drunk Uncle” to a new generation of kids.
Bobby also talks about his pivot into animation, voicing memorable characters in Inside Out 2, IF, LEGO Star Wars, and Loafy (which he also created), as well as the joy he finds in writing children’s books like Not All Sheep Are Boring. With stories about his massive toy collection, his dream to pitch an all-star SNL season, and the advice he’d give to anyone stepping into the pressure cooker of Studio 8H, this is a hilarious and heartfelt conversation you won’t want to miss.
Bobby Moynihan is a comedian, writer, and voice actor best known for his nine-year run on Saturday Night Live, where he created iconic characters like Drunk Uncle and Anthony Crispino. His screen credits include Me, Myself & I, Girls, Documentary Now!, Inside Out 2, IF, Summer Camp Island, The Bravest Knight, and Loafy. He is also the co-author of the children’s book Not All Sheep Are Boring.
