This week on Here’s The Thing, Alec talks with writer Paula Pell – whose been making people laugh at Saturday Night Live for the last 17 years. She landed her dream job as a writer at SNL after working at a Florida theme park. Her agent said Lorne Michaels wanted to meet her – “it is not an audition, but he wants to fly you up and talk to you.” She wasn’t sure what she was headed up for, but Paula Pell got the job. Because of her longevity on the show, Paula calls herself “Nanny SNL,” but she’s the first to admit, “if you have a good night there you feel like you’re 20 again.” Today, Paula also spends time writing for movies -- she’s an executive producer on the upcoming This is 40.
