“They do watch it. They tolerate it, but they’re not chomping at the bit to watch any of my stuff, to be quite honest,” Amy admitted to People.
Amy then revealed who her kids think are the best SNL cast members, and she’s not on their list.
“I mean, the other day we were talking about SNL, and I was like, ‘Who do you think are the best SNL [cast members]?’” Amy recalled. “And my kids were like, ‘Well, probably [Colin] Jost and [Michael] Che.’ And I said, ‘Not your mother?!’ They said, ‘No.’”
Also in the interview, Amy joked about living in “preteen town” with her Archie and Abel.
“I’m kind of living in preteen town right now, so you have to do a lot of reverse psychology,” Amy shared. “You can’t come in front of anything and say something is funny or good. That’s not going to happen. You’re going to be immediately rejected. So you have to reverse psychology words. You have to put things on and be like, ‘Huh, what’s this stupid thing?’ ‘Okay, I guess Airplane is funny, whatever.’ I have to have a real light touch because they will not love what we love. My guys have such a different taste.”
In another recent interview, Will, 51, opened up about his divorce from Amy.
