Davidson, along with several current “SNL” stars and fellow alums, opened up about the “biggest indulgence” they splurged on after receiving their first paycheck from the NBC sketch comedy series.

-“Do you guys know what they pay us?” said Davidson. “It’s like three grand an episode. I think I got dinner.”

-Jason Sudeikis shared a similar sentiment about his “SNL” salary, saying, “I mean, you don’t make enough money to make big purchases, so I think New York rent was probably the biggest purchase I made after writing my first year on ‘SNL.'”

-“I bought a pair of shoes that were out of my budget,” Louis-Dreyfus revealed. “I’m going to tell you, they were $75.”

-Yang also indulged in a pair of shoes, saying in the video, “Going to Saks across the street, buying a pair of Gucci shoes. The kind that everyone got, and the kind I wouldn’t feel super cool wearing out now.”

-“A couch. I have gotten it reupholstered three or four times,” Oteri replied. “I remember a designer coming over in tears, and he goes, ‘OK, those arms are too high. We have to get … We’re going to get rid of that couch.’ I said, ‘Oh no. No, you’re not. Not today, Satan. No, the couch is staying. You’re going.’”
