“This is right in my wheelhouse,” Savannah told TODAY.com ahead of the skit. “I was probably a little younger than those characters, but I aspired to be them. They were living in New York City; they were young and single. So, it spoke to me as another young person trying to make her way in the world.”
“You identify with the characters 100%. The lines are iconic and everyone knows exactly what you’re referring to when you say to them, ‘We were on a break,’” she added.
“Every generation has those shows that are more than just something you watch to waste time, that are really more of a cultural milestone for you,” she concluded.
