I was unbelievably naive and I didnt really understand how the dynamics of the place worked.

It was very sexist, very sexist.

People were doing crazy drugs at the time.

I just thought,Oh wow, hes got a lot of energy.

It was a pretty brutal time, but it was a very informative time for me.

Thankfully, the experience atSNLturned out to be a useful lesson for the futureSeinfeldandVeepstar.

I sort of applied the fun-meter to every job Ive had since and that has been very helpful.

Louis-Dreyfus has said similar things about her time atSNLin the past.

But I learned a tremendous amount.

It was a very sexist environment.

Since Ive gone back, I can tell you its much more of an equal-opportunity environment.

Ive applied that, moving forward, and its worked.

So in that sense, I haveSNLto thank.

A useful strategy indeed.
