The generational identity tangent is one of the episode's most entertaining sidetracks: Mindy was briefly a Zillennial, which felt good, and now she's apparently Gen X alongside Ike Barinholtz and Dave Stassen, which does not. She and Amy trade observations about the appeal of impressing older gatekeepers — for Mindy, it was Greg Daniels and Conan; for Amy, the SNL institution. Mindy then describes her Conan internship in college as her first look inside professional comedy writing, and draws a fascinating distinction between the two tribes of TV comedy: variety writers are dark, cerebral, joke-hungry, and essentially New York; sitcom writers are character-obsessed and essentially LA. Having come up in the sitcom world after the variety door closed, Mindy says she always found the SNL writers intimidating — which is why guest-writing there felt like a genuine achievement.
