00:00Of course, I wanted to ask quickly about Domingo.
00:02Did you realize how much of an epic skit that was going to be
00:05when you first were workshopping that character?
00:07Um, no, I want to say, first of all, that Jimmy Fowley
00:12and Kiro Sullivan and Ali Levitan and Sudi Green,
00:15they wrote it, they told me it was a small part
00:17at the end of a sketch and that it would be fun.
00:19And next thing we know, we're at the forum with Sabrina.
00:22So shout out to them for writing me in it
00:24and shout out to the people that loved it.
00:26I really appreciate them.
00:28And I wanted to ask, you put so much of Latino representation
00:31on the stage and being on a big SNL stage like this,
00:34what does it mean to be able to have that
00:37and be a part of the community?
00:38And it means so much
00:39because I know it's meant so much to so many people.
00:42It means the world to me.
00:42I worked for a long time to get to a place like this
00:45and I just feel very grateful and very blessed.
00:47And the best part, the best, best part
00:50is that my mom gets to come and see it all
00:53because she saw me from the beginning.
00:56And I wanted to ask quickly what this means to you
00:58to be here and be able to watch him be a part of this.
01:01Priceless. It's fantastic.
01:02I'm having a great time. It's the best weekend.
01:06Well, both of you enjoy.
01:07Have a drink and have fun tonight.
01:08Thank you so much.
