“Obviously he knows it in a whole other way,” Jost continued of Ferrell, 56, who joined SNL as a cast member in 1995 before leaving in 2002. The Barbie actor has hosted the show five times.

Elsewhere in Jost’s podcast interview, he shared some of his favorite activities to do with his son Cosmo, 2.

“One thing that’s really important with [Cosmo] is I take him swimming a lot whenever I can — like pool or ocean,” Jost, who shares Cosmo with his wife Scarlett Johansson, said.

“He’s only 2 and he’s a pretty good swimmer actually, like he’s almost independent swimming, which is kinda crazy. He’s a smart guy, too, such a fun kid,” Jost added. “I didn’t always love the competitive part of swimming, but I did love being in a pool and I’m very happy around water all the time. And that’s something I’d like to share with him in different ways.”
