like, that's the whole point of the gag.

The show host is so blabby and full of himself he never gets through his roster of guests. Sometimes he only gets to one, sometimes two, but never the third guest.

For some reason Hader decided to play LB as the third guest, who never, ever gets his turn at bat. LB actually showed up for one show. Sadly they didn't actually have Hader on this time but when they were live he would have a good grasp of Lindsey's various mannerisms and facial expressions. Sure, not the funniest sketch they've ever done, but for an LB fan the fact he had clearly studied the real character along with the idea that LB being shut out of speaking had a certain humor to it.
