In 2007 the same three would form the sketch comedy group "Good Neighbor" along with Kyle's best friend, director and editor Dave McCary. Bennett and McCary are joining Mooney on SNL.

High Praise

Mooney has been praised by comedian Louis C.K. during a Reddit Q&A in which C.K. said he didn't know many "up and comers" but told fans to "search on youtube for Good Neighbor" because the "guy in it named Kyle makes me laugh." Writer/director Adam McKay favorited the Good Neighbor sketch "Arrival" on his website Funny or Die and said "What makes this short work is the acting. They play it very real and it makes the turn all the funnier." Even Steven Spielberg sent Mooney, Bennett, Rutherford, and McCary a personal "acknowledgement" after being impressed with the Hook parody sketch: Unbelievable Dinner. It read: "My daughter, Sasha, showed me your film and we just howled with laughter. Keep making funny movies.---Steven"
