"Why did I do this? I could have been comfortable at my house, in my bed, not worrying about this.”

Me whenever I take on some complicated leadership role outside of work.

Truly the most relatable thing he’s ever said lol.

Sure, I'll post this again.

I hope it was Jenny Slate who said that https://t.co/QKJw2NvWF8

Didn’t she once say he had the personality of primary colors?

In an interview with New York, Slate continued to list all of Evans’ good qualities in a humorously hyperbolic fashion: “He’s really vulnerable, and he’s really straightforward,” she said. “He’s like primary colors. He has beautiful, big, strong emotions, and he’s really sure of them. It’s just wonderful to be around. His heart is probably golden-colored, if you could paint it.”

Thank you. I had seen that quote out of context, and it felt like a backhanded compliment.

That's okay, Chris, often SNL isn't funny either!

I'm curious what the difference is between live sketch shows and live theater, which he's done before. Maybe it's the rehearsal time since SNL is a one week gig.

No criticism, though, cuz I HATE public speaking and while apparently, I'm good at presentations, I hate doing them. I always feel like an idiot. I had to do a recorded presentation for my job that's on our YouTube page and I watched it once cringing the entire time.

bigger audience & no do overs, plus there's recorded evidence if you fuck up

[kamikashi]

when hes done live theater, was it acting in a play or was it improv? cuz thats also a big thing with SNL, sometimes they will change sketch lines fairly last minute. so not exactly improv per se, but more similar vs repeatedly acting out the same play.
