""If I meet a kid and they're between the ages of 4 and 9," Day says, "I know they'll have watched Is It Cake? A lot of SNL hosts with kids that age have even come to me and said, 'I've got to get a picture with you at some point, because my kids love your show.' It's crazy.""
"Everything's so different now with the internet and streaming. I don't know if my son has ever watched a regular TV show like how I used to. His mother and I have made a point of showing him classic movies. We'll announce them, though, like "It's movie night on Sunday and we're all going to sit down for two hours and watch something," because kids are so used to the internet and YouTube that the idea of committing to something for two hours can seem astronomical to them."
Mikey Day hosts Netflix's Is It Cake?, a baking series that resonates strongly with children ages 4–9 and drives continued seasons and holiday-themed episodes. The show's appeal among kids prompts parents and even other performers with children to take notice, reinforcing its family-friendly profile. Day's broader credits include SNL work, a guest spot on Abbott Elementary, commercial appearances, and co-writing the film Home Sweet Home Alone. Family viewing habits include organized movie nights featuring 1980s and 1990s classics such as Back to the Future, Gremlins, The Princess Bride, and Honey, I Shrunk the Kids, with Back to the Future being especially well received.
