I loved The Interview with Will Ferrell and Harper Steele, about their friendship, their upcoming road trip documentary, Steele’s transition, and their collaboration at SNL:

Ferrell: My last year on the show, we would have blue notecards of sketch ideas and it’d be like: “Harper, you have to write a sketch called ‘Taco Time.’ Go!”

Steele: You’re forgetting a key element that speaks to this perfectly. “Taco Time” is a perfect example, or “Unicorn Mountain.” I would write the first half and then hand it to Will. So I don’t know what he’s gonna do with the sketch. It was always a left turn.

Ferrell: “Unicorn Mountain” was a song that led off the sketch and it basically set the premise of being a children’s show. It’s Unicorn Mountain where unicorns live in unity and harmony and they bring joy and they’re magical and they’re fun and let’s all go to Unicorn Mountain. Then we open on myself and Tracy Morgan and — this is Harper’s half — we’re eating a unicorn. We’re talking about how delicious the unicorn was and how easy it was to trap it and kill it because it was so benevolent and sweet and kind and I felt a little bad when we killed it but god this is good unicorn.
