The premise
Here’s the bit.
A mockumentary-style short follows Leslie Jones as she explains how hard it is for someone with her big personality to find romance, then admits she has been seeing Kyle Mooney, a coworker who has never been with anyone. As the two sneak around the studio, interviews with Kyle, Lorne Michaels and others fill in the story. Kyle grows anxious about Leslie's on-air flirting with Colin Jost, which she brushes off as strictly for the show, and when she reassures him in private the two finally get intimate. They emerge into a backstage hallway in matching robes, only for host Dave Chappelle to lean out of his dressing-room door and break up the afterglow.

Say it with us
Highly quotable.
I don't normally get involved with Kyle's relationships, but I think it's important for Kyle to lose his virginity.
Why does everyone think that's real? She's just doing a character.

Leslie
If I'm being honest like it's really hard for me to connect with guys because I kind of have a big personality I've tried internet dating and you know getting hooked up by my friends and nobody never really wants to actually date me, you know It hurts. I want to be in love just like any other girl This entire dinner was laid out with flowers and I was like, what is this for?

Leslie
And he was like just for you being you I was never the type of girl that really dated a lot. You know, I got my first boyfriend at 18 We were on and off for, like, 17 years and haven't fell in love with anybody since. And this job, it does not make it easy to meet men because I'm always working.

Leslie
It feels like the only men that I interact with is the ones that I work with, you know? Sometimes it's not a bad thing.
