Look at how fast, we re almost halfway through the year.

SPEAKER_01
Crazy, yeah.

SPEAKER_01
Are you proud of what you ve done in 2024 so far?
0
SPEAKER_00
I mean, you always want to do more, right?
0
SPEAKER_00
Life goes so fast, David.
0
SPEAKER_00
It s important to take a moment to celebrate your wins, make adjustments for the rest of the year.
0
SPEAKER_00
Therapy can help you take stock of your progress and set achievable goals for the next six months.
0
SPEAKER_01
Listen, therapy is the way to go.
0
SPEAKER_01
I did it for a while.
0
SPEAKER_01
And I think the thing that slowed me down was what they, is driving to Santa Monica in traffic once or twice a week.
0
SPEAKER_01
This is online.
0
SPEAKER_01
It s a great idea.
0
SPEAKER_01
Very convenient.
0
SPEAKER_01
It helps you.
0
SPEAKER_01
You ve got coping skills, how to set boundaries.
0
SPEAKER_01
I mean, there s so many things you can do here to be a better version of yourself.
0
SPEAKER_01
You can probably always sharpen it.
0
SPEAKER_00
Yeah, I mean, I had a therapist in Portland and I would commute and that was a pain.
0
SPEAKER_01
That s a long drive.
0
SPEAKER_00
I know it was 1300 miles one way, but you know, it s good therapist.
0
SPEAKER_00
But yeah, this one you can mix and match and your thoughts kind of control you and you want to master them.
0
SPEAKER_00
And when you talk to someone else, they re able to kind of discern it out.
0
SPEAKER_00
So if you re thinking of starting to give therapy a try, give better help a try.
0
SPEAKER_01
Yeah, it s entirely online, designed to be convenient, flexible, suited to your schedule.
0
SPEAKER_01
You fill out a questionnaire, get matched with a licensed therapist and switch therapist if you want to for any reason, no charge.

SPEAKER_01
You know, we had one of our favorites on, Dana, Will Ferrell.
0
SPEAKER_00
Yes, he was so delightful.
0
SPEAKER_00
Really fun hanging out with him.
0
SPEAKER_00
One of the top, top, all-time... Lorne Michaels said top two, as we ve discussed.
0
SPEAKER_01
And, you know, I believe it.
0
SPEAKER_01
I think that one of the guys that consistently makes me laugh hard over the years, from SNL to the movies to everything he does,
0
SPEAKER_01
And he s so successful.
0
SPEAKER_01
Everything was really clicking on all cylinders.
0
SPEAKER_01
We had a blast with him and he was as advertised.
0
SPEAKER_01
He was funny.
0
SPEAKER_01
He was charming.
0
SPEAKER_01
We told some funny stories.
0
SPEAKER_01
I actually told one story that I was gonna tell you that the point of this goofy story I told about being on a drama I did was really just saying how the special effects people were so professional.
0
SPEAKER_01
Because I was sort of making fun of the whole situation, but the bottom line was he was very cool.
0
SPEAKER_01
and you ll hear the story, but- Cause he ll hear the story.
0
SPEAKER_00
Yeah, he ll hear the story.
0
SPEAKER_00
But you gotta hear the story.
0
SPEAKER_00
I m making fun of me.
0
SPEAKER_00
It s a very funny story.
0
SPEAKER_00
David did an act out.
0
SPEAKER_00
David did an act out that was very funny and Will went with it.
0
SPEAKER_00
But so, you know, we dug into some stuff.
0
SPEAKER_00
We got Will to really tell us some cool stories about Norm.
0
SPEAKER_00
I ve stayed tuned for those.
0
SPEAKER_01
Oh yeah, those are great.
0
SPEAKER_01
Norm was in jeopardy with them and that s how that whole thing started.
0
SPEAKER_00
Yeah, and at SNL and stuff.
0
SPEAKER_00
And we got some other details about Cowbell, which is everyone s favorite sketch and the walking of it all and the origin of that.
0
SPEAKER_00
Doug and the Anchorman.
0
SPEAKER_00
That s very cool.
0
SPEAKER_00
Elf.
0
SPEAKER_00
And his nerves, you know, it was interesting to hear him open up just about his trajectory to superstardom.
0
SPEAKER_01
And we overlapped one year and Dana obviously had just taken off.
0
SPEAKER_01
So he talked about that dynamic between all three of us and how we knew each other.
0
SPEAKER_01
And I had met him before in a weird place.
0
SPEAKER_01
And so I just thought that was just a big home run.
0
SPEAKER_01
I really had a fucking blast with it.
0
SPEAKER_00
And our overlap meter, I checked it after the show, it was only at 33% as far as interrupting him when he was on a roll.
0
SPEAKER_00
Really good.
0
SPEAKER_01
I got itchy at the end, so I did it on purpose, but... Because I know the audience loves it.
0
SPEAKER_00
They love when we interrupt.
0
SPEAKER_01
They love when we wear sunglasses and we interrupt people.
0
SPEAKER_01
But let s get to it.
0
SPEAKER_00
Well, I just want to mention one thing, you can cut it or not, but because it s Will Ferrell, we had a lot of people outside.
0
SPEAKER_00
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.
0
SPEAKER_00
They re more than autograph seekers.
0
SPEAKER_00
That s 1957.
0
SPEAKER_00
They don t even like us, by the way.
0
SPEAKER_00
They re just like collecting baseball cards.
0
SPEAKER_00
They re very passionate.
0
SPEAKER_00
Usually I ll stop.
0
SPEAKER_00
They ll be 10 or 15.
0
SPEAKER_00
I drive up, there s 300 people in the alley, okay.
0
SPEAKER_00
So I m parked way down, and just to get into the theater, it was like a spy mission.
0
SPEAKER_00
How did you get in?
0
SPEAKER_01
We were, Heather and I were, I ran into Heather on the street, she was parking, so she jumped in, dropped me in the front, which is a great trick.
0
SPEAKER_01
And they know my car.
0
SPEAKER_01
She parked it.
0
SPEAKER_00
They know your car?
0
SPEAKER_01
And when she got back, she saw Will.
0
SPEAKER_01
Will was getting slammed.
0
SPEAKER_01
And then you got the worst of it when you left.
0
SPEAKER_01
Because you went out the front, and I went out the back at the end.
0
SPEAKER_00
Well, I went out the side door, and I had someone with me from the theater.
0
SPEAKER_01
Did not work.
0
SPEAKER_00
And so he goes, we re in front, go back, because there s a special side door.
0
SPEAKER_00
We climbed up a ladder and went down a sewer hole.
0
SPEAKER_01
They have drones.
0
SPEAKER_01
They re like, we re going to climb out.
0
SPEAKER_01
We split them up.
0
SPEAKER_01
Spades in the back car.
0
SPEAKER_00
I m on the corner, and I don t know what s happening to you or Will, and I m thinking, this guy, we re gonna walk down to my car, about to cross the street, they see me, and it s like zombies swarming, and they start, and they start.
0
SPEAKER_00
So suddenly I m enveloped, I can t see or hear, and then the other guy starts going, shut the fuck up, man, shut the...
0
SPEAKER_00
I was at a comedy show three minutes ago.
0
SPEAKER_00
Shut the fuck up!
0
SPEAKER_00
I can t move.
0
SPEAKER_00
Meanwhile, I said to everyone, Spade is so happy right now because you actually, da-da, honking your horn, drove by and took a picture of me squirming.
0
SPEAKER_01
In the middle of the scrum.
0
SPEAKER_01
Because I m in the back and they re like, sign here.
0
SPEAKER_01
And Will was saying too, he goes, what s all the clear plastic?
0
SPEAKER_01
And you have to use a different pen for everyone.
0
SPEAKER_00
What the fuck is going on?
0
SPEAKER_00
It s these little dolls of your characters.
0
SPEAKER_00
Yeah, Funkos.
0
SPEAKER_00
You have to sign little Unko s.
0
SPEAKER_01
And they got Kuzco and they got anything from a poster to this.
0
SPEAKER_01
And so you re signing.
0
SPEAKER_01
And they also all hate me.
0
SPEAKER_01
They just are like, sign you goddamn machine robot.
0
SPEAKER_01
And then if we get Sandler to sign the grownups and you and Schneider.
0
SPEAKER_01
So I m signing a few.
0
SPEAKER_01
And then whenever you stop,
0
SPEAKER_01
They go, what the fuck?
0
SPEAKER_01
And they go, my kid needs one.
0
SPEAKER_01
I go, all right.
0
SPEAKER_01
And they go, your biggest fan.
0
SPEAKER_01
Little girl looks at me and I go, what movie do you like?
0
SPEAKER_01
Who the fuck are you?
0
SPEAKER_00
It s kind of mob, like they put drum heads for a kick drum in front of me because one time, because I was bored in Minneapolis, I drew a Garth Pitcher.
0
SPEAKER_00
So I m drawing and signing and signing.
0
SPEAKER_00
And I did sign your name a few times.
0
SPEAKER_00
I m signing, signing, signing.
0
SPEAKER_00
And then one of our producers, Charlie,
0
SPEAKER_00
come with me! 
0
SPEAKER_00
So we went down the street.
0
SPEAKER_00
Come on, go!
0
SPEAKER_00
And they re all following us, and it s just crazy.
0
SPEAKER_00
This is so funny.
0
SPEAKER_00
At this time in my career, I wasn t mobbed like this during Wayne s World.
0
SPEAKER_00
And then we had to go around the neighborhood and ditch him.
0
SPEAKER_00
Are they down?
0
SPEAKER_00
I was in the back.
0
SPEAKER_00
He s not here.
0
SPEAKER_00
We found my car.
0
SPEAKER_00
Then you look back, Charlie s being eaten by them.
0
SPEAKER_00
Go!
0
SPEAKER_00
Just go!
0
SPEAKER_00
Tell my mom I loved her!
0
SPEAKER_00
So I got in the car and I saw another guy getting out, more zombies getting out with bobbleheads.
0
SPEAKER_00
So they come.
0
SPEAKER_00
Charlie pulled up, kind of blocked him.
0
SPEAKER_00
Then I m flooring it away.
0
SPEAKER_00
I broke the speed limit on the way home.
0
SPEAKER_00
I came in, put the gate code in.
0
SPEAKER_00
Running with a bobblehead like this, looking behind myself.
0
SPEAKER_00
They said baseball.
0
SPEAKER_00
I don t even know what s going on.
0
SPEAKER_00
I go, they think I m Hank Aaron.
0
SPEAKER_00
So anyway, I think they are like baseball collectors.
0
SPEAKER_00
By the way, we love you guys.
0
SPEAKER_00
It was just a little bit too much.
0
SPEAKER_00
We love the passion, but it was just too much.
0
SPEAKER_01
But the ones that no matter how many we sign, they scream at the end.
0
SPEAKER_01
So it s like, whatever.
0
SPEAKER_01
Anyway, Will was taken aback.
0
SPEAKER_01
The show was really good.
0
SPEAKER_00
You got to listen to this.
0
SPEAKER_01
We re the biggest assholes.
0
SPEAKER_01
We sound like Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.
0
SPEAKER_01
Maybe we should cut this out.
0
SPEAKER_01
No, we love it.
0
SPEAKER_01
They love it.
0
SPEAKER_01
We re real people.
0
SPEAKER_01
We re two fucking assholes.
0
SPEAKER_00
We re real people and fragile.
0
SPEAKER_00
I got bumbled around.
0
SPEAKER_00
But anyway, Will Ferrell was one of our all-time favorites, so that was so cool to get him at the live theater.
0
SPEAKER_00
Enjoy.
0
SPEAKER_00
Here it is.
0
SPEAKER_01
At Largo.
0
SPEAKER_01

0
SPEAKER_01
Sit in a tree.
0
SPEAKER_00

0
SPEAKER_00

SPEAKER_01
Ready for some jokes.
0
SPEAKER_01
I talked to this guy backstage and he s not really on tonight, but you know what?
0
SPEAKER_01
Dana and I are going to cover for him.
0
SPEAKER_01
He s going to come in the hot seat, that s what it is.

SPEAKER_01
He s one of the, I hate to say, all-time greats, first ballot Hall of Famer.
1
SPEAKER_02
William Farrell, here he is from SNL.
1
SPEAKER_02
All right, a little more applause than we got, but who cares.
1
SPEAKER_02
Did you like they got my chair from a fucking yard sale I was like that chair was put together like 15 minutes ago
1
SPEAKER_02

1
SPEAKER_02
I m getting a worse.
1
SPEAKER_02
Okay.
1
SPEAKER_00
This is a good angle too.
1
SPEAKER_00
Yeah, I know it s weird to try to talk.
1
SPEAKER_01
So well, when did, were you impressed when you first met me?
1
SPEAKER_00
Well, if I lay back enough, I can catch both of you guys.
1
SPEAKER_01
I can t even see you at that.
1
SPEAKER_01
I said, come on, he s not that tall.
1
SPEAKER_01
Get him a five foot eight seat.
1
SPEAKER_02
Now he s got a bad back.
1
SPEAKER_02
Listen, I remember the night I got spinal bifida.
1
SPEAKER_02
I was at Largo.
1
SPEAKER_02
Spinal who?
1
SPEAKER_02
Oh, that was a great heavy metal band from the 70s.
1
SPEAKER_02
So, listen, we got time for one more.
1
SPEAKER_00
When was the last time you heard a spinal bifida reference?
1
SPEAKER_01
I don t know.
1
SPEAKER_01
I just said it, and then I felt like it s mean because it s like... It s very Dennis Miller.
1
SPEAKER_01
Spinal bifida, okay?
1
SPEAKER_01
The starting linebacker for the Detroit Lions, all right?
1
SPEAKER_00
Also, too, if anyone s worried, I brought my wallet.
1
SPEAKER_00
I don t know why.
1
SPEAKER_00
Look at how fat it is, you rich man.
1
SPEAKER_00
Damn, that s a fatty.
1
SPEAKER_00
That s a movie star wallet, right?
1
SPEAKER_00
That s just from Elf.
1
SPEAKER_00

1
SPEAKER_00

1
SPEAKER_01
Would you like some gum?
1
SPEAKER_02
Gum on your zone.
1
SPEAKER_01
You don t have to have it.
1
SPEAKER_01
Is it a trick?
1
SPEAKER_01
Is it a trick?
1
SPEAKER_01
No, it s nothing.
1
SPEAKER_02
Dana, all kidding aside, let s get to the serious.
1
SPEAKER_02
Let s see where you like, where I d like to start.
1
SPEAKER_02
Yeah.
1
SPEAKER_01
Hold on.
1
SPEAKER_02
I know I can t see you at all, but I know I m going to do you mind holding it.
1
SPEAKER_01
I don t mind.
1
SPEAKER_01
Thank you.
1
SPEAKER_01
I feel like, yeah, this is Tony Bennett kind of.
1
SPEAKER_01
The best is yet to come, and I feel fine.
1
SPEAKER_01
Didn t you do Tony Bennett on the show?
1
SPEAKER_00
I did not.
1
SPEAKER_00
Oh.
1
SPEAKER_00
Anyway.
1
SPEAKER_00
Anyway.
1
SPEAKER_00
Let s go to questions.
1
SPEAKER_00
Robert Goulet.
1
SPEAKER_00
I did Robert Goulet.
1
SPEAKER_00
Robert Goulet.
1
SPEAKER_00
What did he sound like?
1
SPEAKER_00
Alec Baldwin did Tony Bennett.
1
SPEAKER_00
That s right.
1
SPEAKER_00
He did a great Tony Bennett.
1
SPEAKER_00
Okay.
1
SPEAKER_00
No, I did Robert Goulet.
1
SPEAKER_00
Bob?
1
SPEAKER_00
Bob Goulet.
1
SPEAKER_00
Yeah.
1
SPEAKER_00
And he just...
1
SPEAKER_00
Had a very deep voice and referenced his appearance in Camelot.
1
SPEAKER_00
Camelot.
1
SPEAKER_00
And we just write him in weird scenarios.
1
SPEAKER_00
I think he did a rap album with Jay-Z.
1
SPEAKER_00
We did a sketch with Jay-Z.
1
SPEAKER_00
That makes sense.
1
SPEAKER_00
Yeah.
1
SPEAKER_00
And we also did a bit where it was Robert Goulet s musical called Red Ships of Spain.
1
SPEAKER_00
where he didn t realize he was making out with his daughter, his real-life daughter.
1
SPEAKER_00
Anna Gasteyer played his daughter.
1
SPEAKER_00
Very Anna.
1
SPEAKER_00
Played his love interest in Red Ships of Spain, and it turns out was his daughter the whole time.
1
SPEAKER_00
You can t write this stuff.
1
SPEAKER_00
Oh, you did write this stuff.
1
SPEAKER_00
I did.
1
SPEAKER_01
Well, let s go back to the beginning.
1
SPEAKER_01
Will, let s go back to the beginning.
1
SPEAKER_01
Can I do a childhood chunk to get us all warmed up?
1
SPEAKER_01
Oh, because I want to take Will to 10 years of age.
1
SPEAKER_01
That far back?
1
SPEAKER_01
Okay.
1
SPEAKER_01
Okay.
1
SPEAKER_01
But hold on.
1
SPEAKER_00
I just want to say, it s a pleasure to be here.
1
SPEAKER_01
Thank you.
1
SPEAKER_01
Thank you.
1
SPEAKER_00
Great to be here, you guys.
1
SPEAKER_00
Very nice.
1
SPEAKER_00
Thank you.
1
SPEAKER_00
Dana Carvey, one of my all-time favorites.
1
SPEAKER_00
You can t tell me.
1
SPEAKER_00
Great sketch players of all time.
1
SPEAKER_00
David, you did stuff too that was interesting.
1
SPEAKER_01
Thank you, Will.
1
SPEAKER_00
You re on the Mount Rushmore.
1
SPEAKER_01
We re going to the after party together.
1
SPEAKER_00
Spade.
1
SPEAKER_00
Little train that could, you know.
1
SPEAKER_01
The Charlie Hustle Award every year at the banquet.
1
SPEAKER_01
They give it to Spade.
1
SPEAKER_01
Charlie Brown, you always knew for him.
1
SPEAKER_00
But in all honesty, Dave was, you were still with the show when we all got hired and you were like a big brother to us.
1
SPEAKER_00
You kind of showed us the ropes.
1
SPEAKER_02
We had a year overlapping.
1
SPEAKER_00
A year overlapping, you were super cool, to me especially, to all of us, took me to dinner multiple times, hung out, gave us words of wisdom.
1
SPEAKER_02
Do you remember one time I invited you over to the Upper West Side to have lunch and then I ate before you got there?
1
SPEAKER_02
Yeah.
1
SPEAKER_02
Isn t that funny?
1
SPEAKER_02
Isn t that funny?
1
SPEAKER_02
Why I remember that?
1
SPEAKER_02
Yeah, because you always eat before.
1
SPEAKER_02
I know, but he wasn t even late.
1
SPEAKER_02
It was not even his fault.
1
SPEAKER_02
I just, it was weird.
1
SPEAKER_02
I don t think I was late at all.
1
SPEAKER_02
No, it wasn t.
1
SPEAKER_02
It was my fault.
1
SPEAKER_02
Uh, but that was just, uh, maybe I was nervous eating a meal when you walk in, I guess.
1
SPEAKER_00
I think I was finished and I used to back.
1
SPEAKER_00
Wait, sorry.
1
SPEAKER_00
What?
1
SPEAKER_00
No, not at all.
1
SPEAKER_00
Okay.
1
SPEAKER_00
Back in the days where I was thinking, do I want to get into comedy?
1
SPEAKER_00
Can I even get into comedy?
1
SPEAKER_00
Do I even have the guts to even try this stuff?
1
SPEAKER_00
I would go to open mic night at the Irvine improv.
1
SPEAKER_02
Oh, I love that place.
1
SPEAKER_00
And, uh,
1
SPEAKER_00
almost get the guts to sign up, but sit in the back of the house and just watch the comedians and go, oh, I m funnier than them.
1
SPEAKER_00
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
1
SPEAKER_00
Oh, I m funny.
1
SPEAKER_00
Ooh, no, not that guy.
1
SPEAKER_00
That guy s really good.
1
SPEAKER_00
But you hosted one.
1
SPEAKER_00
I watched you host Open Mic.
1
SPEAKER_00
Oh, that s great.
1
SPEAKER_00
And next I know you re on SNL.
1
SPEAKER_00
And you re like, what the fuck?
1
SPEAKER_00
I was like, really?
1
SPEAKER_00
I guess anyone.
1
SPEAKER_00
Well, then anyone can get on SNL.
1
SPEAKER_00
But you were super funny and relaxed.
1
SPEAKER_02
I was like, oh, man.
1
SPEAKER_02
You know, when I saw you on SNL and you guys, Farley, Sandler, those kind of guys, that whole team that I was with left one year.
1
SPEAKER_02
I heard they got fired.
1
SPEAKER_02
I did not know they got fired.
1
SPEAKER_02
Did you hear that?
1
SPEAKER_02
I heard they got fired.
1
SPEAKER_01
I want to meet the guy who fired Chris Farley and Adam Sandler.
1
SPEAKER_00
They gotta go!
1
SPEAKER_00
There s nothing there!
1
SPEAKER_00
No more gas in the tank Chris yeah I don t see a track record.
1
SPEAKER_02
I don t see nothing there Lauren was like Chris come to my office and clean your locker
1
SPEAKER_02
But we well, I stayed an extra year, which I don t know if that was good or bad, but I stayed.
1
SPEAKER_02
And then I think maybe you and Sherry Oteri and maybe Molly, they all came in.
1
SPEAKER_02
And the first show that you did, because I felt like sort of went to college, but came back and sat on the wall in high school.
1
SPEAKER_02
Like I should have just left with everybody.
1
SPEAKER_00
Right.
1
SPEAKER_02
But I stayed and did like I had five minutes a week to do some more glory.
1
SPEAKER_02
But yeah, a little bit.
1
SPEAKER_02
Yeah, I was milking it.
1
SPEAKER_02
Yeah.
1
SPEAKER_02
Some of the kitty.
1
SPEAKER_02
So then I said, OK, I think the first show you did that I remember you did get off the shed.
1
SPEAKER_02
Is that is that true?
1
SPEAKER_02
The first show?
1
SPEAKER_02
Yeah.
1
SPEAKER_02
And that was one I didn t know.
1
SPEAKER_02
I didn t know your audition.
1
SPEAKER_02
I didn t know anything.
1
SPEAKER_02
And I thought this guy s got some fucking game.
1
SPEAKER_02
Because it was such an oddball, didn t see it coming, didn t know where it was going sketch.
1
SPEAKER_02
And then I think, did you think- It s what I auditioned with, actually.
1
SPEAKER_00
You did get off the show, the audition?
1
SPEAKER_00
Yeah, yeah.
1
SPEAKER_02
Because I saw a clip of you doing the cat.
1
SPEAKER_00
Yeah.
1
SPEAKER_02
And maybe that s sort of a viral clip, but- To dead silence.
1
SPEAKER_02
Am I crazy?
1
SPEAKER_00
It was, it didn t do well.
1
SPEAKER_00
Yeah, no, it was, I was literally- What was it, the cat one again, just quickly?
1
SPEAKER_00
It was just a guy in his office who was like, it was such a simple premise.
1
SPEAKER_00
You didn t give it much setup, by the way.
1
SPEAKER_00
No, there s no,
1
SPEAKER_00
There s no set up.
1
SPEAKER_01
I want to know what played to silence.
1
SPEAKER_01
So Lorne Michelson, have you got anything else?
1
SPEAKER_01
And you pull this out.
1
SPEAKER_01
Well, we ve heard the shed thing, but is there something else?
1
SPEAKER_00
In 8-H.
1
SPEAKER_00
Yeah.
1
SPEAKER_00
With a spotlight on you.
1
SPEAKER_01
Horrifying.
1
SPEAKER_00
No one else in there except Lorne in the back smoking a cigarette, just his little ember of a cigarette.
1
SPEAKER_00
Holding a Tipperillo.
1
SPEAKER_00
Yeah, a Tipperillo.
1
SPEAKER_00
It s funnier when you say it.
1
SPEAKER_00
And the premise literally was, I think there was a table and a chair and a phone, maybe a prop phone.
1
SPEAKER_00
And it was like, please hold all my calls.
1
SPEAKER_00
And then I just started playing with cat toys.
1
SPEAKER_02
Like an adult on the ground, like hitting a toy like that.
1
SPEAKER_00
Yeah.
1
SPEAKER_00
And then the secretary would buzz again and I m like, uh, yeah, tell him, uh, I ll call him back in 20 minutes.
1
SPEAKER_00
And then I go back on the ground, but it was to dead silence.
1
SPEAKER_00
I was shocked.
1
SPEAKER_00
And I remember thinking in my head, like, well, this is going to be a really good story.
1
SPEAKER_00
When I go back to LA and they re like, what happened?
1
SPEAKER_00
I m like, well, I, I,
1
SPEAKER_00
I thought that would be funny to play with cat toys on the ground.
1
SPEAKER_02
They re like, wait, you did that in your audition?
1
SPEAKER_02
You re like, no, it was funny.
1
SPEAKER_01
The guy who fired Sandler and Farley.
2
SPEAKER_02
He loved it.
2
SPEAKER_02
Now that s comedy!
2
SPEAKER_02
Because the guy doesn t play with cats!
2
SPEAKER_01
I think I m getting into walking a little bit, sorry.
2
SPEAKER_01
It was cat toys, he like lays in the ground and bats around like a piece of yarn and plays it like that.
2
SPEAKER_01
And very funny, and I was watching it because it was like...
2
SPEAKER_01
It was like on Yahoo News.
2
SPEAKER_01
They re like, Will Ferrell s first audition.
2
SPEAKER_01
I go, oh, I don t think I ever saw this.
2
SPEAKER_01
And then you do that, and it was like crickets.
2
SPEAKER_01
I go, who s there?
2
SPEAKER_01
Marcy and Ken Among, and that s it?
2
SPEAKER_01
Because no one, you re not required to go to auditions.
2
SPEAKER_01
I don t think, I only went to Louis C.K.
2
SPEAKER_01
or Bobby Van Rye.
2
SPEAKER_01
Go and get him next time, guy.
2
SPEAKER_01
You re not the stage manager.
2
SPEAKER_01
So you do that, you do get off the shed.
2
SPEAKER_01
Did anything do well?
2
SPEAKER_03
No, because there were no... I think Lauren... Did they tape it and watch it or something?
2
SPEAKER_03
They would tape it and watch it.
2
SPEAKER_03
It was being beamed back to Burbank at the same time.
2
SPEAKER_03
It was beamed.
2
SPEAKER_03
He s at Hamburger Hamlet.
2
SPEAKER_03
I m using the technical term beamed.
2
SPEAKER_03
Yeah.
2
SPEAKER_02
Vocal reference.
2
SPEAKER_01
It was beamed.
2
SPEAKER_01
You re being beamed.
2
SPEAKER_02
But Molly Shannon told us something about you very specifically that I love.
2
SPEAKER_02
She said that when you were in a sketch on SNL and it started to tank, we re all beaming.
2
SPEAKER_02
Yeah, always.
2
SPEAKER_02
That you would triple down.
2
SPEAKER_02
You would go harder at it, like commit.
2
SPEAKER_03
I d either commit or slow it down even, yeah.
2
SPEAKER_02
Quicksand.
2
SPEAKER_03
longer pauses in between lines to where the point Wally the cue card Wally a cue card yeah would be pointing sometimes if the cue card guy thought you weren t seeing your line they would point at it at the line frantically so I took like a 15 second pause before I delivered the next line Wally s yeah
2
SPEAKER_03
You re in blue, that s you.
2
SPEAKER_03
But yeah, we would, I had this perverse thing of like, okay audience, you don t like it now, you re really not gonna like it.
2
SPEAKER_03
I m going to punish you for hating this sketch even more.
2
SPEAKER_03
That s a good angle.
2
SPEAKER_02
Most would break out in a cold sweat.
2
SPEAKER_02
You had some kind of confidence.
2
SPEAKER_02
But I want to talk about when I first met you and I knew I would like you.
2
SPEAKER_02
because you did something.
2
SPEAKER_02
Yeah.
2
SPEAKER_02
I was coming back hosting, you know, Hey, watch out.
2
SPEAKER_02
I had a couple of nominations.
2
SPEAKER_03
I was super nervous.
2
SPEAKER_02
But you came up to me and you had a shirt.
2
SPEAKER_02
I know you had a shirt with a zipper, I think.
2
SPEAKER_02
And you just got really close to me, right in my space, unzipped it and this massively hairy chest and just leaned in with a smile.
2
SPEAKER_02
Hi, I m Will.
2
SPEAKER_02
I didn t quite, in real time I realized, okay, he s doing shtick, but for a second I thought, does this guy have spatial problems, you know?
2
SPEAKER_03
Just let him do his thing.
2
SPEAKER_02
He s leaning in, and that zipper came down a little more, a little more, and then the belly button.
2
SPEAKER_03
He wants you to get his scent, and then you ll relax.
2
SPEAKER_02
Musky.
2
SPEAKER_02
But that was fun.
2
SPEAKER_02
And that was when we did... Did I do Ross Perot and you did Larry King?
2
SPEAKER_02
Because Lorne Michaels talked about that.
2
SPEAKER_02
I did a fabulous Larry King.
2
SPEAKER_02
Lorne Michaels called you out.
2
SPEAKER_02
Really?
2
SPEAKER_02
That sketch was great and you were great as Larry King.
2
SPEAKER_02
Oh, I was so terrible.
2
SPEAKER_03
Was it you posted, Dana?
2
SPEAKER_03
You were like, don t worry about it.
2
SPEAKER_03
I m going to carry the whole thing.
2
SPEAKER_02
Well, I have an ace in my pocket by the name of Ross Perot, so it s the easiest laugh I ever got in my life.
2
SPEAKER_03
I was like, all I could do is like, I m Larry King, here we are, Ross Perot, Ross Perot, that s all I could do.
2
SPEAKER_02
I think you carried it beautifully.
2
SPEAKER_02
It was a precursor to Alex Trebek playing the sort of straight line.
2
SPEAKER_02
Applause.
2
SPEAKER_02
That was good.
2
SPEAKER_02
People know your cues.
2
SPEAKER_02
But being funny with the straight line, you know, but anyway, that was fun.
2
SPEAKER_03
But I think we did,
2
SPEAKER_03
Bush and Bush Jr.
2
SPEAKER_03
with the... I had the antlers.
2
SPEAKER_03
I kept banging the antlers.
2
SPEAKER_02
Oh, yeah.
2
SPEAKER_02
So I m doing George Sr., who s 6 4 , and W s 5 11 .
2
SPEAKER_02
So I had Herman Munster s shoes, like to here, and they padded me up.
2
SPEAKER_02
He s coming in as my little baby son, basically.
2
SPEAKER_02
So at one point, Will plops on my lap.
2
SPEAKER_02
Yeah.
2
SPEAKER_02
There you are, son.
2
SPEAKER_02
How are you?
2
SPEAKER_02
And if you play it back on YouTube, you hear me go, we re on a deer hunt or something.
2
SPEAKER_02
Oh, then I tried to, yeah, there was because I m rattling the antlers.
2
SPEAKER_03
Another time we were out hunting and I told you to go out so that I would get taken care of.
2
SPEAKER_02
Yeah.
2
SPEAKER_02
It was clear.
2
SPEAKER_02
Yeah.
2
SPEAKER_02
Yeah.
2
SPEAKER_02
Yeah.
2
SPEAKER_03
Keep going into the woods.
2
SPEAKER_03
Keep walking.
2
SPEAKER_03
and then daddy it was of mice and men moment yeah yeah right right right yeah yeah well i played a ross pro in a rehearsal
2
SPEAKER_02
He was in the wide shot.
2
SPEAKER_02
I was in a wide shot as Ross Perot.
2
SPEAKER_03
Do you remember playing Woody Allen?
2
SPEAKER_03
Do you remember we did a sketch?
2
SPEAKER_03
Yeah, you did Woody Allen.
2
SPEAKER_01
Was it the Woody Allen in a classroom scene with Seinfeld?
2
SPEAKER_01
Or Jason Alexander?
2
SPEAKER_01
Or was I just playing him or something?
2
SPEAKER_03
I think you were just playing him.
2
SPEAKER_01
Did you too?
2
SPEAKER_01
I don t even mean to be didactic or facetious, but Andre Previn.
2
SPEAKER_01
Yeah.
2
SPEAKER_03
Cause I was playing the actor, the actor who was his buddy.
2
SPEAKER_03
I forget which film.
2
SPEAKER_03
It would just go Max.
2
SPEAKER_01
Max.
2
SPEAKER_01
Max.
2
SPEAKER_02
You re crazy Max.
2
SPEAKER_02
Yeah.
2
SPEAKER_02
Yeah.
2
SPEAKER_01
Yeah.
2
SPEAKER_02
Maybe.
2
SPEAKER_03
It was some smuggle sketch.
2
SPEAKER_02
I did it once, a cold opening where Rob Schneider was playing Soon-Yi.
2
SPEAKER_02
Yeah.
2
SPEAKER_02
And I can t.
2
SPEAKER_02
I know.
2
SPEAKER_01
Yeah.
2
SPEAKER_02
It was the early nineties.
2
SPEAKER_02
Right.
2
SPEAKER_02
So I come out.
2
SPEAKER_02
I m going to do a citizens cancel.
2
SPEAKER_02
I come out live and there s no Rob Schneider playing Soon-Yi and the cue card guy s going like this.
2
SPEAKER_02
And I m like, I can t even, you know, she s not even here.
2
SPEAKER_02
You know, I don t know what I m going to do, you know, because I can t.
2
SPEAKER_02
So I had to just do that.
2
SPEAKER_01
He s in the makeup still.
2
SPEAKER_02
He was in the makeup chair.
2
SPEAKER_02
Sorry, sorry about that.
2
SPEAKER_02
I didn t know.
2
SPEAKER_02
Woody, I m sorry.
2
SPEAKER_01
I can t help it.
2
SPEAKER_01
I thought it was Gap Girls.
2
SPEAKER_02
Sorry.
2
SPEAKER_01
Go ahead.
2
SPEAKER_01
We do a lot of characters on the show.
2
SPEAKER_01
Yeah.
2
SPEAKER_01
No, but when I came back to host, Will,
2
SPEAKER_01
No applause.
2
SPEAKER_01
No, I m just saying, you picked your spots.
2
SPEAKER_01
They re hanging on your every word.
2
SPEAKER_01
They re good listeners, that s why.
2
SPEAKER_03
They re really good listeners.
2
SPEAKER_01
All I remember was, I think there was an army sketch, and then you had a hard brim hat.
2
SPEAKER_01
Do you remember the idea of this sketch?
2
SPEAKER_01
And then when you came up to me in air, you were poking me in the face with your hat brim.
2
SPEAKER_01
Sensitive.
2
SPEAKER_03
Stephen Craig wrote that sketch.
2
SPEAKER_01
Oh yeah?
2
SPEAKER_03
Yeah.
2
SPEAKER_01
What was the story you were... A sensitive drill sergeant.
2
SPEAKER_03
Oh, okay.
2
SPEAKER_03
But I barked out all the commands, but it was all loving therapeutic advice.
2
SPEAKER_01
That s right.
2
SPEAKER_01
Yes.
2
SPEAKER_01
And then when you got up to me, you hit me in the forehead with your...
2
SPEAKER_01
And of course, it threw me.
2
SPEAKER_01
It was like an old portfolio used to just start to make you laugh on air.
2
SPEAKER_01
But it was really just fun being in a sketch with you, because when I did my year where I stayed too long is what we re calling it now.
2
SPEAKER_01
I had my own five minutes and then I but I didn t do sketches.
2
SPEAKER_01
So I felt a little weird because you guys
2
SPEAKER_01
We re doing stuff.
2
SPEAKER_01
So we weren t super connected, but I would like to see you guys and stuff.
2
SPEAKER_01
But coming back to host, we were all part of it.
2
SPEAKER_01
That was fun because the whole thing I remember hosting was that one sketch with him.
2
SPEAKER_01
And because, you know, some work, some don t, obviously.
2
SPEAKER_01
Right.
2
SPEAKER_01
And I think that one is where when I hosted Sandler was going to be in my monologue.
2
SPEAKER_01
Remember he did audience member.
2
SPEAKER_01
Oh, what are you doing?
2
SPEAKER_01
You re so mean.
2
SPEAKER_01
He would stand up.
2
SPEAKER_01
And so we had a whole monologue.
2
SPEAKER_01
What are you doing?
2
SPEAKER_01
Now?
2
SPEAKER_01
He was like a very timid guy with glasses and called audience member.
2
SPEAKER_01
And then he had done it a few times.
2
SPEAKER_01
And so he s doing it when I host.
2
SPEAKER_01
And then that morning, Waterboy opened or something.
2
SPEAKER_01
He had to fly back to L.A.
2
SPEAKER_01
And then they go.
2
SPEAKER_01
Lauren goes, well, it looks like Adam s out.
2
SPEAKER_01
I go out of the monologue.
2
SPEAKER_01
Why don t a monologue?
2
SPEAKER_01
And he goes, well, aren t you a stand up?
2
SPEAKER_01
And I go, I mean, sort of.
2
SPEAKER_01
I don t really do it anymore.
2
SPEAKER_01
I work at this fucking dump.
2
SPEAKER_01
20,000 hours a week.
2
SPEAKER_01
I haven t done a set in eight months.
2
SPEAKER_01
And he goes, maybe just seven minutes.
2
SPEAKER_01
That s all you need.
2
SPEAKER_01
I go, yeah, but I need it polished.
2
SPEAKER_01
I can t run to the comedy store.
2
SPEAKER_01
I can t run anywhere.
2
SPEAKER_01
So I put together.
2
SPEAKER_03
I don t know how it sounds like a fun challenge.
2
SPEAKER_01
It was a challenge.
2
SPEAKER_01
And it was I did a bit about a polar bear and I did a bit about something else, but it was kind of fun and terrifying.
2
SPEAKER_01
And and then I remember your sketch.
2
SPEAKER_01
So thus.
2
SPEAKER_01
That was great doing it with you, that s all.
2
SPEAKER_01
Every moment of SNL, fun and terrifying.
2
SPEAKER_01
Yeah, very scary.
2
SPEAKER_01
Do you remember, have you ever said no to a Tuesday dinner at Orso?
2
SPEAKER_01
With the host?
2
SPEAKER_03
I think I finally over, because I remember you guys talking about this in one of the podcasts.
2
SPEAKER_03
You finally work up enough courage to say no, but I think it took... Yeah.
2
SPEAKER_03
Because I remember you saying... Dana, you saying that it took you... It s so ridiculously true.
3
SPEAKER_03
five seasons before it felt like it was like your home gym, or before you stopped.
3
SPEAKER_03
And I literally remember your words.
3
SPEAKER_03
It literally took me five years before I didn t feel nervous every single second.
3
SPEAKER_01
You had the same experience.
3
SPEAKER_01
Same experience.
3
SPEAKER_03
And so by year six and seven,
3
SPEAKER_03
I think I was, I finally had the guts to be like, I m not going on a Tuesday.
3
SPEAKER_03
Usually there s a Tuesday deal.
3
SPEAKER_01
By then you, I think somewhere you went to this other gear.
3
SPEAKER_01
I don t know what, when it happened, but.
3
SPEAKER_01
You got good, I think it was the last week.
3
SPEAKER_01
The last week of my last, yeah.
3
SPEAKER_01
Your last show.
3
SPEAKER_01
My last show.
3
SPEAKER_03
Cowbell, and then I think you left right after Cowbell, right?
3
SPEAKER_03
Every, every best of sketch is in my last show of the seven seasons.
3
SPEAKER_01
I heard Cowbell.
3
SPEAKER_01
I was on fire.
3
SPEAKER_01
So were you nervous then because Bill Hader told us that he was having panic attacks the whole time.
3
SPEAKER_01
I never was able to see it.
3
SPEAKER_01
Like literally panic attacks in the bathroom by himself, crying.
3
SPEAKER_01
But you controlled it, but were you breaking out?
3
SPEAKER_03
I never got that bad, but there were just, you know, it got less and less with each year.
3
SPEAKER_03
Yeah.
3
SPEAKER_03
And it would always surprise me
3
SPEAKER_03
Especially after that first year where you re like, okay, I think I ve gone through everything you re going to go through, where you potentially are going to get thrown.
3
SPEAKER_03
It would just come out of the blue, where it would be, I don t know, it wouldn t even be like the first show of the season, it d be something like the seventh show.
3
SPEAKER_03
It s like, why do...
3
SPEAKER_03
I don t have a good feeling.
3
SPEAKER_03
This is not going to be good.
3
SPEAKER_03
It would just come out of nowhere.
3
SPEAKER_03
And that d be fine the rest of the year, but it s inexplicable.
3
SPEAKER_01
It s two things happen, I think.
3
SPEAKER_01
There s people like Eddie Murphy, who was a savant, basically at 19.
3
SPEAKER_01
But I think for most people, you get a little more confident, and then the audience starts to see you.
3
SPEAKER_01
And then you get a little more confident.
3
SPEAKER_01
And then finally, when the audience sees you come out, they re kind of excited.
3
SPEAKER_01
And then it builds on it.
3
SPEAKER_01
I ve seen it happen with a lot of cast members over time.
3
SPEAKER_00
That s why Lauren says do, you know, well, with me, I was newer, but like a feature player, but do a few lines here, a few lines there, just to get them to see your face and know you re part of the situation.
3
SPEAKER_00
So then they know, okay, he s one of these guys.
3
SPEAKER_00
And then they will buy you when you do a full sketch.
3
SPEAKER_00
But you came, you were one of the ones that, like Dana, where you came out and you had to be a full, were you a full cast member when you started?
3
SPEAKER_00
Well, we were, we were, we were really lucky because that year before.
3
SPEAKER_03
Yeah.
3
SPEAKER_03
Got rid of all that dead weight.
3
SPEAKER_02
Farley, Sandler.
3
SPEAKER_02
Farley, Sandler.
3
SPEAKER_02
Get rid of them.
3
SPEAKER_02
Clean it out of the dead wood.
3
SPEAKER_02
Meyers, this clown over here.
3
SPEAKER_00
Meyers, Dana, yeah.
3
SPEAKER_02
He s good.
3
SPEAKER_00
Phil Hartman, boo.
3
SPEAKER_00
I was hanging out of the door like Titanic.
3
SPEAKER_00
Dan Lovitz.
3
SPEAKER_03
Fumigate the place and start over.
3
SPEAKER_03
So we had eight brand new cast members and a brand new writing staff.
3
SPEAKER_03
Very weird.
3
SPEAKER_03
So we didn t know any better.
3
SPEAKER_03
We were like, it wasn t that, because I ve talked to past cast members who were added
3
SPEAKER_03
one at a time, like by themselves, and that s super.
3
SPEAKER_03
Or mid-season.
3
SPEAKER_03
Mid-season to try to break through that way.
3
SPEAKER_03
In fact, Molly was mid-season the year before I got there.
3
SPEAKER_03
Oh, she was there.
3
SPEAKER_03
And we were laughing because she was like,
3
SPEAKER_03
what is this?
3
SPEAKER_03
You guys get like cue card training and you get shown where all the, here s the wardrobe department, here s your quick change area.
3
SPEAKER_02
I didn t get any of that.
3
SPEAKER_03
My God.
3
SPEAKER_03
And she was just laughing going, she was like, I was a little mad actually.
3
SPEAKER_03
You guys got to, did you get trained on the cue?
3
SPEAKER_03
Do you remember anything like that?
3
SPEAKER_03
No one even talked to us.
3
SPEAKER_01
Just terror.
3
SPEAKER_01
I mean, my thing was freaky because in the first show I was in the cold opening and I didn t know it was the cold opening.
3
SPEAKER_01
I was just in it.
3
SPEAKER_01
I knew it was my first time doing sketch comedy.
3
SPEAKER_01
It was hard for me not to look at the audience like a stand-up, you know?
3
SPEAKER_01
And then the church lady popped and came in, and I had Sigourney Weaver and Phil and Jan, and so then that took off.
3
SPEAKER_01
Crazy.
3
SPEAKER_01
So I was just boiled in water immediately, and then Chopped Broccoli.
3
SPEAKER_03
But no one... Chopped Broccoli.
3
SPEAKER_03
Chopped Broccoli.
3
SPEAKER_03
Jeez.
3
SPEAKER_00
Yeah.
3
SPEAKER_03
Which... That was my first show.
3
SPEAKER_03
That s your first show?
3
SPEAKER_03
Yeah.
3
SPEAKER_03
Oh, my God.
3
SPEAKER_03
The cutaway to Phil, by the way.
3
SPEAKER_03
Oh, yeah.
3
SPEAKER_03
Just him and Joe, everyone just going, this is the worst song ever.
3
SPEAKER_03
And then Phil Hartman just going, yes.
3
SPEAKER_01
Phil Hartman, I ll give you as great a compliment as I can.
3
SPEAKER_01
You remind me of a lot of people, Peter Sellers, and you also remind me of Phil.
3
SPEAKER_01
Well, thanks.
3
SPEAKER_01
Because you were Alex Trebek.
3
SPEAKER_01
Phil would have played that character.
3
SPEAKER_03
Phil Hartman and Dan Aykroyd were like my guys I looked up to.
3
SPEAKER_03
I just loved how they could swim.
3
SPEAKER_03
They could be the main guy or be the background guy.
3
SPEAKER_03
And that s what I loved about ensemble comedy.
3
SPEAKER_01
Yeah.
3
SPEAKER_01
And, you know, everyone who knows them both just said they re kind of scientists, comedians.
3
SPEAKER_01
Phil would read, you know, books about Evan Rood, motorboats on the set, and then pick up a script, kill it in the rehearsal, come back.
3
SPEAKER_01
And Ackroyd s the same way.
3
SPEAKER_03
He s interested in science and astronomy.
3
SPEAKER_03
Phil Hartman came to host when we were, I don t know if it was that first year or the second year.
3
SPEAKER_01
Oh, really?
3
SPEAKER_03
He comes back to host.
3
SPEAKER_03
And I m in the room, I think it was with Tom Janis and Adam McKay and Koechner, and I just can t, I don t know what to say to him.
3
SPEAKER_03
I m just sitting in the chair and I m just like, that s Phil Hartman.
3
SPEAKER_03
And he finally picks up on it, he s like, what gives with the Pharaoh Kid?
3
SPEAKER_02
what you had got your tongue.
3
SPEAKER_03
It was like do I walk out of the room?
3
SPEAKER_03
I was like I was just like no.
3
SPEAKER_03
I just what these guys said, let s just yeah and I mean
3
SPEAKER_02
I m writing the thing that they re going to write for you, too.
3
SPEAKER_03
But he was just what a great.
3
SPEAKER_01
Yeah, there was just something about him.
3
SPEAKER_01
And he was so effortless and he didn t care.
3
SPEAKER_01
And he was so unassuming about it.
3
SPEAKER_01
Yeah.
3
SPEAKER_01
And we that s why we nicknamed him the glue.
3
SPEAKER_01
He was just somebody who was always there.
3
SPEAKER_03
But God, he picked up on the fact that I just, I wouldn t, I couldn t speak.
3
SPEAKER_03
Yeah.
3
SPEAKER_01
That s so interesting because now we have data of where you went and where you re still going and to hear this stuff.
3
SPEAKER_01
I feel like it s very human.
3
SPEAKER_01
Yeah.
3
SPEAKER_01
Stop.
3
SPEAKER_02
I stopped.
3
SPEAKER_01
I stopped.
3
SPEAKER_02
I know I ran into you at the Laker game.
3
SPEAKER_02
Don t even say it.
3
SPEAKER_03
I hadn t seen you in a while.
3
SPEAKER_03
I ran into you at the Laker game.
3
SPEAKER_03
You re like, oh, hey, Will.
3
SPEAKER_03
Hey, sorry about the career.
3
SPEAKER_00
I can t even hide my jealous rage.
3
SPEAKER_00
You re like, hey, by the way, good to see you.
3
SPEAKER_00
Sorry about the career.
3
SPEAKER_00
Sorry everything went up on a fucking rocket ship.
3
SPEAKER_00
Uh, no, because the first time I saw you was at Butterfield and Butterfield.
3
SPEAKER_02
Oh, yeah.
3
SPEAKER_00
Oh, yeah.
3
SPEAKER_00
You heard me.
3
SPEAKER_03
Oh, man.
3
SPEAKER_00
We worked at an auction house that is Christie s now, I think, on Sunset.
3
SPEAKER_00
And I was buying Elvis memorabilia.
3
SPEAKER_00
And I took my Elvis credit card, new money.
3
SPEAKER_00
Yeah.
3
SPEAKER_00
And I was I bought an Elvis set list.
3
SPEAKER_00
Joey Esposito, who Elvis is one of his buddies, was there authenticating stuff.
3
SPEAKER_00
I got a set list that he wrote out his handwriting, and I loved Elvis.
3
SPEAKER_00
I bought one of his guns, and then I bought a... And then his watch.
3
SPEAKER_00
And I thought it was cool as shit.
3
SPEAKER_00
And then you worked there.
3
SPEAKER_00
Yeah.
3
SPEAKER_00
And then you... I had my Land Cruiser, which I still have tonight, and I...
3
SPEAKER_00
You walked me out, and that s where I met you.
3
SPEAKER_00
And then when I saw you at SNL, I think we remembered that you worked there, right?
3
SPEAKER_00
You didn t work there.
3
SPEAKER_03
Yeah, no, I worked there in my then good friend.
3
SPEAKER_00
And that was the last time I was funnier than you.
3
SPEAKER_03
And later, my wife worked there, too.
3
SPEAKER_03
Oh, yeah, she worked there?
3
SPEAKER_03
Oh, that s right.
3
SPEAKER_03
She was the auctioneer.
3
SPEAKER_03
Oh, hey-a-ba-da, hey-a-ba-da, yeah.
3
SPEAKER_03
Exactly like that.
3
SPEAKER_02
Hey-a-ba-da, hey-a-ba-da.
3
SPEAKER_02
Hey-a-ba-da, hey-a-ba-da, hey-a-ba-da.
3
SPEAKER_02
Can you yell out a number?
3
SPEAKER_03
You keep saying, hey, better, hey, better.
3
SPEAKER_03
We can t follow the bidding.
3
SPEAKER_00
But it was interesting seeing you there.
3
SPEAKER_00
And then obviously, we joke around with the monster movies after that.
3
SPEAKER_00
I mean, we could talk about us now because I was going to ask you before we get to all these movies.
3
SPEAKER_00
What was your favorite commercial parody you were in?
3
SPEAKER_00
Do you remember commercial parodies?
3
SPEAKER_00
Did you do a lot or not?
3
SPEAKER_03
Yeah, I didn t.
3
SPEAKER_03
I was a little bit bummed.
3
SPEAKER_03
When I first started, I don t think I was in any of those initial commercial parodies.
3
SPEAKER_00
Usually it was sort of like jury duty because it takes you away from the show a little bit because you have to dedicate a full day to shooting it during the week, and now they do a lot of pre-tapes during the week.
3
SPEAKER_00
You see the host in a lot.
3
SPEAKER_00
I mean, they beat the shit out of them.
3
SPEAKER_03
sometime in September to start.
3
SPEAKER_00
You can go do them early?
3
SPEAKER_00
Oh yeah.
3
SPEAKER_00
Go do them early.
3
SPEAKER_00
I don t know if we did that.
3
SPEAKER_00
Before that first show.
3
SPEAKER_00
Yeah.
3
SPEAKER_00
I wasn t in many of them.
3
SPEAKER_00
Knock out one.
3
SPEAKER_00
Yeah.
3
SPEAKER_03
Knowing how to speak and understand a new language can be an invaluable tool when traveling, meeting new friends, or just even to master a new skill.
3
SPEAKER_03
But it s not always simple.
3
SPEAKER_03
When you re bogged down by textbooks
4
SPEAKER_00

4
SPEAKER_03
One thing I m just quickly very interested in because I, you know, you think everyone knows everything about you, but what was that transition from USC to being to the groundlings and then how long at the groundlings till you got on SNL?
4
SPEAKER_03
How fast did you get on SNL from when you started trying to be a comedian?
4
SPEAKER_02
I graduated SC in 90, moved home immediately, which was great.
4
SPEAKER_02
Back to Orange County?
4
SPEAKER_02
Back to Orange County.
4
SPEAKER_02
Okay.
4
SPEAKER_02
Good move.
4
SPEAKER_02
Everyone was super psyched about that.
4
SPEAKER_02
So that s in 1990?
4
SPEAKER_02
Yeah, that was 1990.
4
SPEAKER_03
I m back, Dad.
4
SPEAKER_02
Yeah, I m back.
4
SPEAKER_02
Thanks for the education.
4
SPEAKER_02
Yeah, thanks for the degree.
4
SPEAKER_02
And I then was going to try to be a sportscaster.
4
SPEAKER_02
That s what I studied at SC.
4
SPEAKER_02
But at the same time, I thought,
4
SPEAKER_02
I better try this comedy thing if I m going to give it a shot.
4
SPEAKER_03
Because that was from a childhood sort of inkling, prankster and all that.
4
SPEAKER_02
Always liking it but too afraid to try it.
4
SPEAKER_02
And that s when I started taking classes at the Groundlings, trying some stand-up comedy.
4
SPEAKER_02
Pretty darn good.
4
SPEAKER_02
Yeah.
4
SPEAKER_02
Do you ever play the cannery down in Newport or the San Juan Depot where an actual train goes through your set?
4
SPEAKER_01
While you re performing?
4
SPEAKER_01
While you re performing?
4
SPEAKER_01
I ve had that, yeah.
4
SPEAKER_01
Okay.
4
SPEAKER_01
But I don t think I was in that club.
4
SPEAKER_01
You re like Shakey s off the freeway.
4
SPEAKER_02
Nino s in Long Beach, an Italian restaurant.
4
SPEAKER_03
I did not.
4
SPEAKER_03
Yeah.
4
SPEAKER_03
All the big spots.
4
SPEAKER_03
Yeah.
4
SPEAKER_03
Sir Laughs A Lot in Glendale.
4
SPEAKER_02
Oh.
4
SPEAKER_03
Godfusters.
4
SPEAKER_03
Yeah.
4
SPEAKER_03
The rib tickler in Minneapolis I play.
4
SPEAKER_02
That s real.
4
SPEAKER_02
But I was doing some stand-up.
4
SPEAKER_02
I was doing... And growlings, you have to... You work your way through this school.
4
SPEAKER_02
Yeah.
4
SPEAKER_02
But the courses are so booked up.
4
SPEAKER_02
You ll finish one level and you got to wait six months before the next one opens up.
4
SPEAKER_02
So then I was just...
4
SPEAKER_02
back at working odd jobs.
4
SPEAKER_02
I was a bank teller.
4
SPEAKER_03
And this is in 91, 92?
4
91, 92.
4
SPEAKER_02
You re still doing odd jobs.
4
SPEAKER_02
And then I think 93, I get into the main company or the Sunday company at the Growlings.
4
SPEAKER_03
Did you have a character that you had developed at that point that got you to that?
4
SPEAKER_03
Was Harry Carey around?
4
SPEAKER_02
Harry Carey was in the main company.
4
SPEAKER_02
So the Sunday shows like their minor league team, and then you get into the main company, and that s when...
4
SPEAKER_02
Get Off the Shed sketch I had done, and I started doing Harry Carey.
4
SPEAKER_02
That was during the baseball strike one year.
4
SPEAKER_02
Inspired character.
4
SPEAKER_02
And I thought, oh, baseball.
4
SPEAKER_02
There s no baseball games right now.
4
SPEAKER_02
I wonder what Harry Carey s doing with his days.
4
SPEAKER_02
I thought it d be funny.
4
SPEAKER_02
I should set him in an acting class doing a play reading of a super dramatic play.
4
SPEAKER_02
Perfect.
4
SPEAKER_02
And so I wrote this sketch about Harry in a community theater rehearsal space.
4
SPEAKER_02
And I was like, OK, let s take the scene from the top.
4
SPEAKER_02
And then it was Harry Carey doing like, damn it, Carol, what happened to us?
4
SPEAKER_02
I look in your eyes and I don t see love anymore.
4
SPEAKER_03
You disappear, I literally, your face from this angle.
4
SPEAKER_02
Yeah, it s funny.
4
SPEAKER_02
I didn t see Will for a second.
4
SPEAKER_02
I remember Maggie Baird, she played my wife, but the other act, they had to play, I said, you guys have to play it really, like if you can make yourself cry, do it.
4
SPEAKER_02
So they re reading the lines like, I don t know, I just, we re distant.
4
SPEAKER_02
And she s like getting herself to cry, and then I m playing off of that.
4
SPEAKER_02
It was madness.
4
SPEAKER_02
The audience, I knew it was working when the audience was laughing without any knowledge of who Harry Carey was.
4
SPEAKER_02
They d just be like, who s that crazy guy you do?
4
SPEAKER_00
Yeah, yeah.
4
SPEAKER_02
It just sounds funny.
4
SPEAKER_02
So I d done that.
4
SPEAKER_02
And by that spring of 95, that was when we d heard SNL s looking to recast
4
SPEAKER_02
So it was pretty fast.
4
SPEAKER_02
It was like two years.
4
SPEAKER_03
Did you have anybody in a position of authority, a mentor or someone at the groundlings or someone who pulled you aside at one point said, I think you really can do this?
4
SPEAKER_01
It was a really supportive.
4
SPEAKER_03
I mean, was everyone sort of giving you feedback?
4
SPEAKER_01
Was it more supportive than SNL?
4
SPEAKER_02
Well, I would say typically yes, but the group we had at the show, we were kind of like our backs.
4
SPEAKER_02
You got kind of lucky.
4
SPEAKER_02
We got lucky.
4
SPEAKER_02
Who was in that group?
4
SPEAKER_02
That would have been Molly and myself.
4
SPEAKER_02
Chris Kattan.
4
SPEAKER_02
Chris Kattan came later.
4
SPEAKER_02
Anna Gassner.
4
SPEAKER_02
Anna came the next year, Sherry.
4
SPEAKER_02
Norm was doing Tim Meadows.
4
SPEAKER_02
Jim Brewer.
4
SPEAKER_02
Wow.
4
SPEAKER_02
So everyone went on from there.
4
SPEAKER_03
Steve Carell s wife, Nancy Walls.
4
SPEAKER_02
And it was a lot of people who had done sketch comedy.
4
SPEAKER_02
So everyone was just kind of like,
4
SPEAKER_02
pulling for each other in a very SNL way because we knew like, ooh, the show s about to get canceled.
4
SPEAKER_02
Not to mention everyone in network television saw there was blood in the water.
4
SPEAKER_02
So we had to go, but Mad TV premiered.
4
SPEAKER_02
Howard Stern had a sketch comedy show.
4
SPEAKER_03
Oh, really?
4
SPEAKER_03
Your first year?
4
SPEAKER_03
All that was funny.
4
SPEAKER_02
But I think, and you did your show.
4
SPEAKER_03
In 96, yeah.
4
SPEAKER_03
That first.
4
SPEAKER_03
Yeah, that was prime time.
4
SPEAKER_03
It made half an episode.
4
SPEAKER_03
They pulled us out.
4
SPEAKER_03
Were you guys doing it on a Friday night maybe?
4
SPEAKER_03
I think no, it was right after Spin City or Home Improvement.
4
SPEAKER_02
And there was a fourth, there was four or five different sketch comedy shows that whole year.
4
SPEAKER_03
And In Living Color might ve still been on too.
4
SPEAKER_03
Maybe, yeah.
4
SPEAKER_03
Yeah, The State maybe.
4
SPEAKER_01
Anyway, so we were, we were like actually pulling for a sort of friendly, uh, was, was cheerleaders that first year is that first year.
4
SPEAKER_01
So you had a couple that really works.
4
SPEAKER_01
There was no danger.
4
SPEAKER_01
No, no, there was.
4
SPEAKER_01
Don t ruin the flow.
4
SPEAKER_01
You re getting it wrong.
4
SPEAKER_01
When I say my stuff.
4
SPEAKER_01
Um, no, no, no.
4
SPEAKER_01
But cheerleaders must ve, I think it crushed from immediately.
4
SPEAKER_01
And then you did it a few times that year.
4
SPEAKER_01
So you were in no danger of feeling down deep.
4
SPEAKER_01
You might get fired or anything.
4
SPEAKER_01
You were doing well enough that first year to go.
4
SPEAKER_01
I m pretty.
4
SPEAKER_02
Except except they they did a thing where I think we were signed for the first nine shows and then a pickup.
4
SPEAKER_02
Gross.
4
SPEAKER_02
But then but then it was a gross pick up.
4
SPEAKER_02
I mean, it s just.
4
SPEAKER_02
But then they, dare I say, they broke the contract and they said, nope, you re just picked up.
4
SPEAKER_02
You re picked up for just five more shows.
4
SPEAKER_02
Wow.
4
SPEAKER_02
And then we ll see if you re picked up for the last five.
4
SPEAKER_01
This is your first season.
4
SPEAKER_01
First season.
4
SPEAKER_01
Just getting these little picks.
4
SPEAKER_01
Yeah.
4
SPEAKER_01
That s what happens when I date girls.
4
SPEAKER_01
They pick me up for two more dates, and then they go, we ll see how it goes after that.
4
SPEAKER_01
You don t have to laugh.
4
SPEAKER_01
No, no, you don t have to.
4
SPEAKER_03
It s all right.
4
SPEAKER_01
They thought you said it, so they started laughing.
4
SPEAKER_01
But it was still harrowing.
4
SPEAKER_01
It s, by the way, I don t think you re ever relaxed there going, I got it made here.
4
SPEAKER_01
So I don t think that s ever a feeling if you re new, even if you re doing great.
4
SPEAKER_01
Except those last couple of seasons.
4
SPEAKER_01
Yeah, at the end, right.
4
SPEAKER_02
But I did have a fantastic, so when my, arbitrarily that my last year, when I just decided that would be my last year.
4
SPEAKER_01
Yeah, seventh season or whatever.
4
SPEAKER_02
Just felt like the right amount of time.
4
SPEAKER_02
Lauren took me to dinner to talk me into staying.
4
SPEAKER_01
Chili s Houston Houston s I can get us in I can do Hillstone Houston s at 930.
4
SPEAKER_02
Yeah, does that work?
4
SPEAKER_02
We re after the rush.
4
SPEAKER_02
Yeah I
4
SPEAKER_03
These dinners are very interesting.
4
SPEAKER_03
So, Will, you re going to stay.
4
SPEAKER_03
That s how he does it sometimes.
4
SPEAKER_03
You ll stay another two years.
4
SPEAKER_01
Oh, yeah.
4
SPEAKER_01
Just tell you.
4
SPEAKER_03
He ll tell you what s going to happen.
4
SPEAKER_01
It was at Pastis.
4
SPEAKER_01
Oh, yeah.
4
SPEAKER_01
OK.
4
SPEAKER_01
How awkward.
4
SPEAKER_01
Because you want to say no.
4
SPEAKER_01
You want to leave.
4
SPEAKER_01
Right.
4
SPEAKER_01
Well, you d already filled old school, but we ll get to that.
4
SPEAKER_01
Right.
4
SPEAKER_01
During.
5
SPEAKER_02
Yeah, that was in the can.
5
SPEAKER_00
That was in the can.
5
SPEAKER_02
That was in the can, but no one knew.
5
SPEAKER_02
You didn t know where it was from.
5
SPEAKER_02
That was in the can.
5
SPEAKER_02
That s a term for it s been filmed, it s edited, but they haven t shown it yet.
5
SPEAKER_02
Because they used to have a celluloid.
5
SPEAKER_03
Wait, you did that in the summer, and then you came back and did SNL?
5
SPEAKER_02
I think I did it partly through part of that, the fall of that seventh season.
5
SPEAKER_02
So how did Lorne pitch you?
5
SPEAKER_02
Lorne said the most, he said, so I understand you re thinking about leaving.
5
SPEAKER_02
And I would just suggest this, you re at a high point right now, but you want to start just to begin to dip, and then you should leave.
5
SPEAKER_02
And I was like, but Lauren, that seems counterintuitive.
5
SPEAKER_02
Work for John Lovitz.
5
SPEAKER_02
When Lauren doesn t really want to hear an answer, he always goes, just think about it.
5
SPEAKER_01
Yeah.
5
SPEAKER_01
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
5
SPEAKER_01
Just think about it.
5
SPEAKER_01
Think about it.
5
SPEAKER_02
I m going to draw the chart on a napkin.
5
SPEAKER_02
High point?
5
SPEAKER_02
I m going, yeah, let me, let me just think about waiting for me to dip and then leave.
5
SPEAKER_02
I will think about that.
5
SPEAKER_02
And you just said, I ll think about it.
5
SPEAKER_02
And then we never talked about it ever again.
5
SPEAKER_01
But it seems like, you know, you did Molly s movie.
5
SPEAKER_01
You did a lot of you did the movie with Chris and you, you know, you were kind of and then you done Cowbell and everything else.
5
SPEAKER_01
It seemed like your timing was impeccable.
5
SPEAKER_01
I mean, you were ready, but you could have killed for three more years on the show.
5
SPEAKER_02
If you wanted to.
5
SPEAKER_02
No, if anyone had put a showbiz gun to my head and said, this is all you get to do, I would have said, great.
5
SPEAKER_02
That was the hardest, most fun job I ve ever done.
5
SPEAKER_01
Most exhilarating, bizarre.
5
SPEAKER_01
Right.
5
SPEAKER_02
Yeah.
5
SPEAKER_02
But yeah, we... I couldn t hear you.
5
SPEAKER_02
Did someone put a gun to your head?
5
SPEAKER_02
Someone put a gun Elvis one of the Elvis s old God bought an auction to around comes around does not know what to do because I was in a dark nightclub in Scottsdale Yeah
5
SPEAKER_03
When you did so in the in the summers you did.
5
SPEAKER_03
That s what we would try to do is a movie in the summer.
5
SPEAKER_03
So I did.
5
SPEAKER_03
What was the first one?
5
SPEAKER_03
Was it Superstar?
5
SPEAKER_03
Were you in Superstar?
5
SPEAKER_02
I was in Superstar.
5
SPEAKER_02
The first one, Superstar.
5
SPEAKER_03
Or was it Roxbury?
5
SPEAKER_02
I think the first one was Roxbury.
5
SPEAKER_03
I heard the original title was called A Day at the Roxbury.
5
SPEAKER_01
Then he goes, maybe night?
5
Night?
5
SPEAKER_01
Oh, we re doing Burry this month.
5
SPEAKER_03
Is there any way you could still shake your neck like that or no?
5
SPEAKER_03
It s too hard.
5
SPEAKER_02
I don t know if I can t.
5
SPEAKER_02
I don t know if I remember what the motion was.
5
SPEAKER_02
Oh man.
5
SPEAKER_02
Is this love?
5
SPEAKER_03
If I did it now, I would just hold my head still and go... Try to trick the audience.
5
SPEAKER_02
Like a little cardboard cutout.
5
SPEAKER_02
Actually, that s a sketch Catan and I would do at the Growlings.
5
SPEAKER_02
Oh, you brought it in.
5
SPEAKER_03
So we brought that in.
5
SPEAKER_03
I m sorry to interrupt you, but for the audience, if they don t know, but we say it sometimes, when you come on, when I was there, you would say what sketches you had when you came in or what characters.
5
SPEAKER_02
Right.
5
SPEAKER_03
And then you own them, even if you did them on the show.
5
SPEAKER_03
I think Mike owned Wayne s World.
5
SPEAKER_03
I m not sure.
5
SPEAKER_01
No, I don t know.
5
SPEAKER_01
They were pretty tricky about that.
5
SPEAKER_01
I don t know.
5
SPEAKER_01
We ll own it even if we don t own it.
5
SPEAKER_03
Maybe 50 50.
5
SPEAKER_03
And then and then whatever you came up with in the writer s room, they own.
5
SPEAKER_03
Right.
5
SPEAKER_03
Is that.
5
SPEAKER_00
Yeah.
5
SPEAKER_03
So if you came in with that and then I think it s more incentivizing if you would think if it was a sketch, they own, you know, because Lauren was doing a lot of sketches for a while, like even Tommy Boy was sort of
5
SPEAKER_03
us at the office based on what was that movie you guys what was tommy boy about i get the top of the hand um and then wayne s world and let s get some box office numbers out here roxbury versus tommy no tommy boy
5
SPEAKER_01
Let s see who s pulling coin downtown.
5
SPEAKER_03
We weren t a big hit though.
5
SPEAKER_03
Roxbury maybe made 30?
5
SPEAKER_03
We made probably 35.
5
SPEAKER_03
Really?
5
SPEAKER_03
Yeah, Waynes Road was the big hit, yeah.
5
SPEAKER_03
Oh, Tommy Boy made like 50.
5
SPEAKER_03
No, it just made.
5
SPEAKER_02
What about Black Sheep?
5
SPEAKER_03
What about what?
5
SPEAKER_03
Black Sheep.
5
SPEAKER_03
Black Sheep made about the same.
5
SPEAKER_03
But they sort of did better as it went on, like on video.
5
SPEAKER_03
But some movies like that,
5
SPEAKER_03
in hindsight, you probably thought they made more, but it didn t, it opened number one in the sort of black sheet, but it wasn t like a huge killing, but it just sort of resonated over time, which helps because a lot of them do better and they don t resonate.
5
SPEAKER_03
You know how it is.
5
SPEAKER_03
You got a lot of my life on actually all your, all your DVD and yours did well, but, but to other people, not really.
5
SPEAKER_01
DVDs are huge.
5
SPEAKER_01
What was your biggest bomb?
5
SPEAKER_01
Let s get some hardware going.
5
SPEAKER_01
I want to put it in a slot.
5
SPEAKER_03
No, it was like, I remember Walmart said, every time people throw in Tommy Boy or Joder, when they come by in the aisle, and it doesn t go down, every week they get the same amount of people just go, eh, just throw in, eh, just throw it in.
5
SPEAKER_03
So that made money, I guess, for them.
5
SPEAKER_03
But not really me, but I like those ones that kind of live on.
5
SPEAKER_03
There s not that many.
5
SPEAKER_03
But when you came out, so old school was such a monster.
5
SPEAKER_03
Was your idea to be naked and streak, because you did that before?
5
SPEAKER_01
It seems to me you have got a comfort level of using your body, you know, in a very funny way.
5
SPEAKER_02
I had a comfort level, yeah.
5
SPEAKER_01
You would streak in college, right?
5
SPEAKER_01
Or is that made up?
5
SPEAKER_01
I had, yeah, I had.
5
SPEAKER_02
My dad s in the audience tonight.
5
SPEAKER_02
Oh yeah, you re trying to overthink your answers.
5
SPEAKER_02
I streaked in college, dad.
5
SPEAKER_01
Your dad is out there right here on our audience.
5
SPEAKER_02
Yeah.
5
SPEAKER_02
Well, I was always, that was the thing I loved about Chris Farley.
5
SPEAKER_02
I remember thinking, okay, I m going to meet people that are just as funny as me and people that are much funnier than me, but they won t be able to out-commit me.
5
SPEAKER_02
It was like my promise to myself.
5
SPEAKER_01
You fulfilled that promise.
5
SPEAKER_01
I don t think anyone committed harder.
5
SPEAKER_02
I had no problem taking my shirt off during sketches and things like that.
5
SPEAKER_02
But I do remember reading the script for Old School and reading that joke.
5
SPEAKER_02
And there s sometimes a disconnect that you read it and you go, oh, that ll be funny until the day you actually have to perform it.
5
SPEAKER_01
And you come out of your trailer, what are you wearing, a robe?
5
SPEAKER_01
How do you come out of your trailer?
5
SPEAKER_02
I agreed to shoot this.
5
SPEAKER_02
And we were shooting.
5
SPEAKER_01
A little marble bag.
5
SPEAKER_01
Will, it s time for the run down the street.
5
SPEAKER_02
A little marble sack, as they say in the industry.
5
SPEAKER_02
And yeah, we shot it here in Montrose.
5
SPEAKER_02
Anyone from Montrose here tonight?
5
SPEAKER_02
I ve only heard about that on Weather Reports.
5
SPEAKER_02
Anyone who remembers the band Montrose?
5
SPEAKER_02
But yeah, we shot that right out here near Altadena.
5
SPEAKER_02
And I just remember we were shooting in front of a bunch of stores, storefronts, and there was like a local health club.
5
SPEAKER_02
And there was all these yuppie people working out, getting their power walking in.
5
SPEAKER_02
I said to the PA, like, has anyone told them what s about to happen?
5
SPEAKER_02
Because I m in the robe, and I got the marble sack attached to the crucial area.
5
SPEAKER_02
And does anyone know I m about to drop the robe?
5
SPEAKER_02
And I m like, do we want to tell some kid on a headset, like, what?
5
SPEAKER_00
Huh?
5
SPEAKER_02
I don t know.
5
SPEAKER_02
We want to get real reactions.
5
SPEAKER_02
OK, back to one.
5
SPEAKER_02
I think we re going to film it now.
5
SPEAKER_02
We re ready.
5
SPEAKER_02
That first take, I m running, and I m trying to calm, I m like, honey, we re all going straight.
5
SPEAKER_02
I m hearing off in the distance, through the window of the health club, oh my God!
5
SPEAKER_02
Oh!
5
SPEAKER_03
Oh!
5
SPEAKER_03
Oh!
5
SPEAKER_03
Hey!
5
SPEAKER_03
Hey!
5
SPEAKER_03
Hey!
5
SPEAKER_03
So many pubes!
5
SPEAKER_02
And then we shoot it, we cut, we reset.
5
SPEAKER_02
Another take.
5
SPEAKER_02
He s not going to do it again.
5
SPEAKER_00
Another take.
5
SPEAKER_02
There s like one old guy in there still power walking.
5
SPEAKER_01
Extra.
5
SPEAKER_02
And by the third take, health club totally cleared out.
5
SPEAKER_02
No one wanted to watch me run naked down the street.
5
SPEAKER_02
How many takes?
5
SPEAKER_02
It was probably more than we needed.
5
SPEAKER_01
Camera from behind.
5
SPEAKER_01
From behind.
5
SPEAKER_01
Crane shot.
5
SPEAKER_02
Crane shot.

5
SPEAKER_02

5
SPEAKER_02

5
SPEAKER_00
I mean, Will, can I tell you one embarrassing story?
5
SPEAKER_00
Yeah.
6
SPEAKER_00
Oh, here we go.
6
SPEAKER_00
Take a walk.
6
SPEAKER_00
I have to move for this.
6
SPEAKER_00
It s not worth it at all.
6
SPEAKER_00
But we ll take it out later.
6
SPEAKER_00
So this is embarrassing, because one movie I did called Warning Shot, it was sort of a drama, and there was gun... Thank you.
6
SPEAKER_00
Warning Shot.
6
SPEAKER_00
That s when you played the kingpin, right?
6
SPEAKER_00
Oh, yeah, I was a bad guy.
6
SPEAKER_00
The drug lord.
6
SPEAKER_00
So I was a drug lord.
6
SPEAKER_00
Dana, I knew you d see the trailer.
6
SPEAKER_00
You sent it to me.
6
SPEAKER_00
Dana.
6
SPEAKER_00
We re taking this all out anyway, it doesn t matter.
6
SPEAKER_00
It s all being edited.
6
SPEAKER_02
I gotta watch Warning Shot now.
6
SPEAKER_00
Well, watch it on the plane.
6
SPEAKER_00
Put it in my nooks.
6
SPEAKER_00
Here I am.
6
SPEAKER_00
You got it down for sure?
6
SPEAKER_00
Warning Shot.
6
SPEAKER_00
Warning Shot.
6
SPEAKER_00
Okay.
6
SPEAKER_00
And I don t want to give the whole thing away because everyone s going to run home and watch it.
6
SPEAKER_00
Who directed Warning Shot?
6
SPEAKER_00
I don t know if we had a director.
6
SPEAKER_00
I realized halfway through, we were just all talking.
6
SPEAKER_00
AI directed it.
6
SPEAKER_00
So they said, there s a part where I get squibs, lingo.
6
SPEAKER_00
So there s a gunfight.
6
SPEAKER_00
You re going to get shot.
6
SPEAKER_00
So they have to squib me up.
6
SPEAKER_00
So they put like little, you know, Pepsod ACs on you that blow up, you know what I mean?
6
SPEAKER_00
Like whatever.
6
SPEAKER_00
But they have to, I don t know if it s electronically, they have to tape it to you.
6
SPEAKER_00
And they actually make, it like makes a spark or something.
6
SPEAKER_02
A small explosion.
6
SPEAKER_00
Right.
6
SPEAKER_00
So they tape a couple here to my bird chest.
6
SPEAKER_00
And then but I m at lunch eating a burrito.
6
SPEAKER_00
And then they go, hey, shooting after lunch.
6
SPEAKER_00
I go, OK.
6
SPEAKER_00
And but like you, I don t even think about it.
6
SPEAKER_00
And then I go, oh, wait, I have this guy s coming in here.
6
SPEAKER_00
So the special effects guys got like a ponytail.
6
SPEAKER_00
You know, it s always he comes in a
6
SPEAKER_00
It s like a sound guy that s in your face.
6
SPEAKER_00
He goes, we re going to do these and you might feel a spark and if there s a full fire, we ll address it then.
6
SPEAKER_00
And I go, okay.
6
SPEAKER_00
Which means it s happened before.
6
SPEAKER_00
Which means it s his first day.
6
SPEAKER_00
So he goes, they just pulled me off this other thing.
6
SPEAKER_00
Home Depot?
6
SPEAKER_00
Yeah.
6
SPEAKER_00
So he goes, okay.
6
SPEAKER_00
So he wires me up, shirt off, and then they go, one, two, three, four, let s say, and then they tape them down, and then they stick them on, and now they have to go down my pant leg, and then, you know what I mean, out the back, the wires, and then the guy has a little blow-up plunger.
6
SPEAKER_00
So I have to put my pants on over that.
6
SPEAKER_00
So these are on here.
6
SPEAKER_00
And they go back, like, six feet to him.
6
SPEAKER_00
And he s like, got it.
6
SPEAKER_00
And then in my trailer, and I delicately put my shirt on.
6
SPEAKER_00
They go, ready for you.
6
SPEAKER_00
So I start to walk out.
6
SPEAKER_00
He s following me.
6
SPEAKER_00
And then I start drifting off on the way to the set going, what are my lines, blah, blah, blah.
6
SPEAKER_00
Take that, Dagnabbit, or whatever I m saying.
6
SPEAKER_01
And you were playing like a macho badass.
6
SPEAKER_00
Yeah, like I m a tough guy.
6
SPEAKER_00
So I m just, I m drifting.
6
SPEAKER_00
This is the embarrassing.
6
SPEAKER_00
I m drifting off.
6
SPEAKER_00
And then I go, and then.
6
SPEAKER_00
three toots in a row, just to myself, I don t care, I m just walking, and then I hear behind me, hey, come on, man.
6
SPEAKER_00
I forgot he was six feet and already leaning over.
6
SPEAKER_00
Hey, come on, man.
6
SPEAKER_00
Because I m first team, the worst thing he can say is, come on.
6
SPEAKER_00
He wanted to bust my fucking head open.
6
SPEAKER_00
And I go, it s cool.
6
SPEAKER_00
It s cool.
6
SPEAKER_00
It s cool.
6
SPEAKER_00
It wasn t cool.
6
SPEAKER_00
It was so horrible.
6
SPEAKER_00
I couldn t apologize, but I had to laugh so hard first because it was so uncool.
6
SPEAKER_00
And then he s walking through.
6
SPEAKER_00
And then guess what?
6
SPEAKER_00
The squibs went wrong after that.
6
SPEAKER_00
Squibs were a relief after that.
6
SPEAKER_00
I just walk in the set, I go, are we ready?
6
SPEAKER_00
And he s like, blam.
6
SPEAKER_00
I m like.
6
SPEAKER_00
It s like, oh, early.
6
SPEAKER_02
It s usually the indignant special effects person.
6
SPEAKER_02
Yeah.
6
SPEAKER_02
Who they get mad at you even though they didn t have it hooked up.
6
SPEAKER_00
Yeah.
6
SPEAKER_02
And so filming a night at the Roxbury, we one of the gags was we re driving.
6
SPEAKER_02
We re doing the head thing.
6
SPEAKER_02
Yeah.
6
SPEAKER_02
And then Tan smash does it so hard.
6
SPEAKER_02
He smashes his side of the window.
6
SPEAKER_02
his passenger side window with his head and it explodes.
6
SPEAKER_02
But that s all squibbed up.
6
SPEAKER_02
So that s supposed to just crack smack.
6
SPEAKER_02
That s supposed to crack with the aid of technology.
6
SPEAKER_02
Timing when he touches it.
6
SPEAKER_02
Special effect guy.
6
SPEAKER_02
Same same guy.
6
SPEAKER_02
Yeah.
6
SPEAKER_02
He s waiting by the console.
6
SPEAKER_02
You know,
6
SPEAKER_02
Going hot, going hot on effects.
6
SPEAKER_02
Cool dialogue, coming in hot, yeah.
6
SPEAKER_02
You re timing it out, you re rehearsing.
6
SPEAKER_02
How many head?
6
SPEAKER_02
Okay, we ll do it on the fifth one, and on the fifth one, Chris will go like this.
6
SPEAKER_02
So we re doing, you know, what is love, and we re doing our thing, and Chris.
6
SPEAKER_02
One, two, three, four, whack!
6
SPEAKER_02
Side does nothing.
6
SPEAKER_02
The side doesn t break.
6
SPEAKER_00
Doesn t break at all.
6
SPEAKER_02
Guy comes in.
6
SPEAKER_02
It s like, I don t know.
6
SPEAKER_02
It s all checked out or something.
6
SPEAKER_02
Wasn t plugged in.
6
SPEAKER_02
As if we re supposed to go, oh, great.
6
SPEAKER_00
Yeah.
6
SPEAKER_00
No problem.
6
SPEAKER_02
Fuck.
6
SPEAKER_02
But Catan s got like a shiner.
6
SPEAKER_01
Weld.
6
SPEAKER_02
Yeah.
6
SPEAKER_02
And he s like, do we trust him?
6
SPEAKER_02
Do we do it again?
6
SPEAKER_02
Are we doing it again?
6
SPEAKER_02
But they get so excited when they discover their issue.
6
SPEAKER_00
Yeah.
6
SPEAKER_02
Yeah.
6
SPEAKER_00
He s like, it wasn t my fault, it wasn t plugged in.
6
SPEAKER_00
You re like, that s still your fault.
6
SPEAKER_01
Isn t it funny it wasn t plugged in?
6
SPEAKER_01
Hysterical!
6
SPEAKER_01
It wasn t plugged in.
6
SPEAKER_01
Show business is difficult, that s all I m saying.
6
SPEAKER_01
It did.
6
SPEAKER_01
But I do love the guy like, come on, man.
6
SPEAKER_00
Oh, he just kind of, he did the harshest he could go as, hey, come on, man.
6
SPEAKER_00
Like, and then I was like, oh my God, he can t yell at me.
6
SPEAKER_00
It s so, because he just.
6
SPEAKER_02
But we always found that with the effects guys on SNL, that if you had a gag.
6
SPEAKER_02
You had to barf or something.
6
SPEAKER_02
Like, please, we need so much blood.
6
SPEAKER_02
It s supposed to be over the top amount of blood.
6
SPEAKER_02
You got it.
6
SPEAKER_02
It s going to be so much blood.
6
SPEAKER_02
Dress rehearsal.
6
SPEAKER_02
Like one spot.
6
SPEAKER_02
And you d look over and the guy would be like, I don t know what happened.
6
SPEAKER_02
Sorry.
6
SPEAKER_02
I don t know.
6
SPEAKER_00
You want more than that?
6
SPEAKER_00
You re like, yeah, I want the funny version of the blood version.
6
SPEAKER_02
And like, then add a hundred percent to that.
6
SPEAKER_00
We did it with Alec Baldwin and we were, uh, when Jay Moore, we were all like every cop that came to us, I think Phil comes up and he goes,
6
SPEAKER_00
This is the sickest, most gruesome set.
6
SPEAKER_00
You know, I ve ever seen car crash.
6
SPEAKER_00
Right.
6
SPEAKER_00
He throws up.
6
SPEAKER_00
And then he goes, Captain, Captain, what s going on?
6
SPEAKER_00
Then he throws up.
6
SPEAKER_00
And it was just a joke of we all throw up.
6
SPEAKER_00
And like me and Jay, by the time we got there, we were newer and we had two lines.
6
SPEAKER_00
But the throw up wasn t working as well.
6
SPEAKER_00
And it goes it s same thing up your leg, up a hose.
6
SPEAKER_00
And the guy back on.
6
SPEAKER_00
And then at rehearsal, we re like, guys, more.
6
SPEAKER_00
It s the same thing.
6
SPEAKER_00
Yeah, please.
6
SPEAKER_00
Funny throw up.
6
SPEAKER_00
It goes everywhere and it s too much.
6
SPEAKER_00
No one s mad.
6
SPEAKER_00
It s too much is better.
6
SPEAKER_00
And I think by the time we did it, it was either a leaky faucet, you know, it just barely in your life.
6
SPEAKER_00
And then it s funny because you re like, it s just a little because it s coming out of your arm.
6
SPEAKER_00
Well, you have to act like you re barfing and it goes like that.
6
SPEAKER_00
Right.
6
SPEAKER_00
There s a spray in my whole face.
6
SPEAKER_00
Anyway, that s not.
6
SPEAKER_00
That s neither here nor there right now.
6
SPEAKER_00
Do you have any other stories you d like to share?
6
SPEAKER_00
Were you an anchorman?
6
SPEAKER_00
Because I didn t read everything.
6
SPEAKER_00
I know you were in... No.
6
SPEAKER_00
I auditioned for it, but I wasn t.
6
SPEAKER_01
What was the guy, Ron Flurgadier?
6
SPEAKER_00
Oh, yeah.
6
SPEAKER_00
Was Burgundy... That wasn t something from SNL, right?
6
SPEAKER_00
That was something you thought of after.
6
SPEAKER_00
That was after.
6
SPEAKER_00
Yeah.
6
SPEAKER_00
That was after the show.
6
SPEAKER_00
Was that one of your first... You left SNL.
6
SPEAKER_00
Was that one of your first... Left SNL.
6
SPEAKER_00
Just starring in movies?
6
SPEAKER_00
Old school, old school.
6
SPEAKER_00
Came out?
6
SPEAKER_02
Came out after I left.
6
SPEAKER_02
Crushed.
6
SPEAKER_02
while we were filming, yeah, so I left and I didn t really, I had old school that was filmed, but they held onto it, which is usually a bad sign, but they didn t release it until later.
6
SPEAKER_02
After Anchorman.
6
SPEAKER_01
No, no.
6
SPEAKER_02
Well, before, so it was old school.
6
SPEAKER_02
And then we were working on this script about an elf.
6
SPEAKER_00
Oh, Elf was back then?
6
SPEAKER_02
That was not... Enough.
6
SPEAKER_02
That needed a bunch of work.
6
SPEAKER_02
So when I left the show, I didn t have this stack of scripts waiting for me.
6
SPEAKER_02
But holy shit, to come out with those three?
6
SPEAKER_00
Old school Elf and Anchorman were the first two movies I did after I left the show.
6
SPEAKER_00
That s unreal.
6
SPEAKER_00
At old school, you go, you re crazy.
6
SPEAKER_00
Is that what you said?
6
SPEAKER_00
After the train dart?
6
SPEAKER_00
Yeah.
6
SPEAKER_00
Yeah.
6
SPEAKER_00
Hysterical.
6
SPEAKER_00
Yeah.
6
SPEAKER_00
So many parts of old school are great.
6
SPEAKER_00
When Vince Vaughn goes, hey, you need some sand?
6
SPEAKER_00
I got a sand guy.
6
SPEAKER_00
Everything about old school is funny.
6
SPEAKER_00
Love that one.
6
SPEAKER_00
Elf, obviously, was such a huge home run hit and still to this day.
6
SPEAKER_02
But Elf was a little scary only because I d come off of SNL and old school known probably for
7
SPEAKER_04
doing more PG-13, edgier stuff.
7
SPEAKER_04
And then I m in this family thing going, this could be it.
7
SPEAKER_04
I don t know.
7
SPEAKER_04
I m just sitting around, running around the streets of New York in yellow tights.
7
SPEAKER_02
But your style, I guess I d say, is you never wink and you commit like a dramatic actor.
7
SPEAKER_02
Yeah.
7
SPEAKER_02
And that s what kind of holds you up.
7
SPEAKER_00
Well, Elf, all those things.
7
SPEAKER_02
Thank you, Dana.
7
SPEAKER_02
Thank you.
7
SPEAKER_01
I say the same thing.
7
SPEAKER_01
You haven t said anything.
7
SPEAKER_02
I said it before you got here.
7
SPEAKER_02
It s Dana you can do a trick that Kevin Nealon can do it s you can lower your IQ just 20 points Right just with your eyes very subtly And it s genius, but every time we were doing Hans and Franz a cocky idiots Yeah, and we were talking and they go five four three I d look at Kevin and he was just his eyes would just go really dumb like oh
7
SPEAKER_02
Yeah, he could lower his IQ like 40 points, but you have that skill set of being able to just take IQ off with just something about your eyes.
7
SPEAKER_02
I think that s good.
7
SPEAKER_02
Yeah, it is.
7
SPEAKER_02
Kind of like a guy, what was his name?
7
SPEAKER_02
Sellers?
7
SPEAKER_02
Peter Sellers.
7
SPEAKER_02
Peter Sellers, kind of like that guy.
7
SPEAKER_02
Pete Sell, I call him.
7
SPEAKER_02
Pete Seller.
7
SPEAKER_02
Because you do have some symmetry with him.
7
SPEAKER_02
A lot of comedians want to claim Peter Sellers, but I do think you have something in that cocky idiot character that also is very dry, extremely bizarre word packages with a lot of physicality.
7
SPEAKER_02
Anyway, I ve been researching you for those things.
7
SPEAKER_04
But that s how I started thinking of the Ron Burgundy character, because I was watching footage of this news anchor who d been retired for 20 years, but he still talked like this.
7
SPEAKER_04
Yeah.
7
SPEAKER_04
And I walk through my local market.
7
SPEAKER_04
And I ll be ordering, you know, I ll be buying my groceries and people will hear my voice and they ll know, they ll ask me, were you in news?
7
SPEAKER_04
And I say, yes, I used to be.
7
SPEAKER_04
And I thought, who talks like that?
7
SPEAKER_04
Like what?
7
SPEAKER_04
You re not a news guy anymore.
7
SPEAKER_04
And I thought, oh, that s funny.
7
SPEAKER_04
Someone who never loses that affect.
7
SPEAKER_01
Yeah.
7
SPEAKER_01
Yeah.
7
SPEAKER_01
But all the stuff writing that San Diego s funny, casting it right.
7
SPEAKER_01
There s so many ways to do a movie wrong, even if you have a funny character, like you got to get it directed well, written well, perform it well, edited.
7
SPEAKER_01
There s so many ways to ruin it along the way.
7
SPEAKER_01
And that s why sometimes you sign up for a movie.
7
SPEAKER_01
It s it just doesn t come out because there s so many ways to mess it up.
7
SPEAKER_01
But to have all those work all the way through is very.
7
SPEAKER_01
Very tough to do.
7
SPEAKER_01
And Anchorman is one of those that just hit on all cylinders.
7
SPEAKER_01
And then the sequel, I was watching the fight scene from the sequel today.
7
SPEAKER_01
And it s so fucking funny where you re thinking of different ways to have different news people and then everyone s playing it as funny.
7
SPEAKER_01
And they all they keep coming in their different groups.
7
SPEAKER_01
All that was funny.
7
SPEAKER_01
And topping the first one was hard.
7
SPEAKER_04
But you did that with that and also two days with Kanye West.
7
SPEAKER_01
I figured out that was Kanye.
7
SPEAKER_04
I m like Kanye made this cameo, but he he filmed his thing and then he just hung out.
7
SPEAKER_01
I just stayed.
7
SPEAKER_01
Yeah.
7
SPEAKER_04
Playing Yeezus for us over and over.
7
SPEAKER_04
Oh, yeah.
7
SPEAKER_04
Yeah.
7
SPEAKER_04
Whether you wanted to hear it or not.
7
SPEAKER_01
Yeah.
7
SPEAKER_01
That s demo jail.
7
SPEAKER_01
Yeah.
7
SPEAKER_02
It was wild.
7
SPEAKER_02
Interesting.
7
SPEAKER_01
Wow.
7
SPEAKER_01
Yeah.
7
SPEAKER_01
It s funny.
7
SPEAKER_01
I used to be, yeah, whatever.
7
SPEAKER_01
I had a guy like that and he would play his album over and over in the car and then in the house.
7
SPEAKER_04
And then you didn t want to say, no, you already played it for me.
7
SPEAKER_01
But I ll listen to it again.
7
SPEAKER_01
Give you another shot at it, yeah.
7
SPEAKER_01
That was funny because I saw Kanye and I was like, oh my god, is that Kanye?
7
SPEAKER_01
Like, was he around back then?
7
SPEAKER_01
I guess he was.
7
SPEAKER_01
He must have been pretty new.
7
SPEAKER_01
No, he was... Yeah, he was pretty old, I think.
7
SPEAKER_01
Whatever it is, yeah, whatever the answer is.
7
SPEAKER_02
Also your bandmates on that, which you ve worked with a lot.
7
SPEAKER_02
Paul Rudd, who s awesome, obviously.
7
SPEAKER_02
Steve Carell.
7
SPEAKER_02
Carell s so funny.
7
SPEAKER_02
Carell got a great funny part.
7
SPEAKER_04
Yeah, it was a great group.
7
SPEAKER_04
And McKay, who we d met at SNL.
7
SPEAKER_04
And so it was a... You guys just really knew what you were doing.
7
SPEAKER_04
We just felt like we were playing with the house s money.
7
SPEAKER_04
And, you know, they had... DreamWorks had said no to it initially and then later came back.
7
SPEAKER_01
It was so bizarre.
7
SPEAKER_04
Oh, really?
7
SPEAKER_04
Yeah, yeah.
7
SPEAKER_04
They had... A bunch of people had passed on it.
7
SPEAKER_04
I think we had 10 or 15 different financiers or studios pass on it in one day.
7
SPEAKER_04
It was great.
7
SPEAKER_04
It was a great day.
7
SPEAKER_04
That s a horrible... It was McCain I call, did you hear about this one?
7
SPEAKER_04
Yeah, that s a pass.
7
SPEAKER_04
Okay, good.
7
SPEAKER_04
But you go excitedly pitch it to everyone and then you just hear pass, pass, pass, pass, pass.
7
SPEAKER_04
You just hear, the call should be coming in.
7
SPEAKER_04
Pass, pass, pass, pass, pass.
7
SPEAKER_01
Oh my God, that s sickening.
7
SPEAKER_01
It almost doesn t ever work after that.
7
SPEAKER_01
If one passes, it gets like a stink to it.
7
SPEAKER_01
Yeah.
7
SPEAKER_01
Like the other one s here and they go, oh, something s bad about it.
7
SPEAKER_01
Oh, we don t want it either.
7
SPEAKER_01
So you do that.
7
SPEAKER_01
So once we sort of make it... Is it when an elf came out or something and they go,
7
SPEAKER_01
Oh, well, we ll risk it now?
7
SPEAKER_01
No, it was old school.
7
SPEAKER_01
Old school, oh.
7
SPEAKER_04
Came out and they thought, oh, wait, we have this other script with him.
7
SPEAKER_04
We should do something with him.
7
SPEAKER_00
Now we like it.
7
SPEAKER_04
Now we like it.
7
SPEAKER_04
Hey, that made money.
7
SPEAKER_04
Let s do a chart and then we ll do something.
7
SPEAKER_00
We take it back.
7
SPEAKER_04
We take it back.
7
SPEAKER_04
We like the thing about the newscasters.
7
SPEAKER_04
They just couldn t wrap their heads around it that it d be funny.
7
SPEAKER_04
And I was trying to say, it s kind of what Austin Powers will be to the spy genre.
7
SPEAKER_04
But anyway, so when we finally got to make it, we were like, let s just hurry.
7
SPEAKER_04
Let s just shoot.
7
SPEAKER_04
Because they may shut us down at any point.
7
SPEAKER_01
Movies do the best feel like.
7
SPEAKER_01
And then it was one of those where, I m guessing,
7
SPEAKER_01
you know, the last couple takes, do whatever you want.
7
SPEAKER_01
Just keep doing shit.
7
SPEAKER_01
Just act stupider and stupider.
7
SPEAKER_01
And then someone s got to pick the one that you live with forever.
7
SPEAKER_01
But then you go, God, there was five other ones that were just as ridiculous.
7
SPEAKER_02
Did you ride that way?
7
SPEAKER_02
I mean, because were you on 35 millimeter film in the 90s and then you get on the Anchorman set or whatever and you got digital for the first time or no?
7
SPEAKER_02
When did digital come in?
7
SPEAKER_04
Not till Anchorman 2, yeah.
7
SPEAKER_02
All that stuff was film.
7
SPEAKER_02
Oh, because then you could improvise for 20 minutes.
7
SPEAKER_04
But we would do it anyway and just run out.
7
SPEAKER_04
Because it s expensive.
7
SPEAKER_04
But yeah, we would just go until we heard that film run out and go to the line producer and just say, can you give us cover here?
7
SPEAKER_04
We just need more film stock.
7
SPEAKER_04
I don t know what else to say.
7
SPEAKER_04
And luckily, the studios usually, once you got going, they were OK.
7
SPEAKER_01
Or they see the dailies, they know something s happening.
7
SPEAKER_01
And Talladega Nights is another monster.
7
SPEAKER_01
So that one, no questions, just wanted you to get the applause.
7
SPEAKER_01
Blades of Glory.
7
SPEAKER_01
Was that one of the first with Riley or he was also when I saw Anchorman?
7
SPEAKER_04
No, so John did the table read for Anchorman and we really wanted him to be in it and he had to go do Gangs of New York or something.
7
SPEAKER_04
Some bullshit Scorsese thing.
7
SPEAKER_01
and uh yeah and uh come on here priest so but you know it s good you guys wound up in that oh and stepbrothers so yeah you guys round up in those yeah
7
SPEAKER_02
These are consistent, successful comedies.
7
SPEAKER_02
Yeah, very, very hard to do.
7
SPEAKER_04
Yeah, it s been good, which is why it s just fun to use your guys  podcast to announce my retirement.
7
SPEAKER_04
Yeah.
7
SPEAKER_02
Should we be honored?
7
SPEAKER_01
Do you feel like you re hogging all the good movies or something?
7
SPEAKER_01
Give someone else a chance.
7
SPEAKER_04
Yeah, I want to let... I want to do... We should do a remake of... I ve already forgotten it.
7
SPEAKER_03
The farty blood guy character.
7
SPEAKER_03

7

SPEAKER_03

7
SPEAKER_03
Yeah.
7
SPEAKER_03
Let s do a shot-for-shot remake of Warning Shot.
7
SPEAKER_03
We could put a little more money, get a director.
7
SPEAKER_03
Get that same effects guy.
7
SPEAKER_01
Yeah, the effects guy.
7
SPEAKER_01
That guy s still around.
7
SPEAKER_01
You ever have the sound guy get in your face?
7
SPEAKER_01

Do you mind holding this small microphone?
7
SPEAKER_03
Do you want to put it in your beard?
7
SPEAKER_03
Do you mind swallowing this microphone?
7
SPEAKER_03
It would help production.
7
SPEAKER_04
I want to get the sound of your digestive juices.
7
SPEAKER_04
Can you learn how to use this boom mic?
8
SPEAKER_02
Take it home with you on the weekend.
8
SPEAKER_00
Can you hold it just out of frame into your own room?
8
SPEAKER_02
Yeah.
8
SPEAKER_02
It s a good arm exercise.
8
SPEAKER_02
It would help.
8
SPEAKER_00
Yeah.
8
SPEAKER_00
I used to feel sorry for those guys with the 40 foot boom.
8
SPEAKER_00
Oh.
8
SPEAKER_00
For like 20 minutes.
8
SPEAKER_00
For shaking.
8

Shaking like that.
8

8
SPEAKER_02
I know, but don t you, don t you feel this, you d be fired from every single job on a movie set except for the ones that we get to do.
8
SPEAKER_02
Right?
8
SPEAKER_02
Oh, like a real movie?
8
SPEAKER_02
That s what I feel like.
8
SPEAKER_00
Well, I mean, it seems like you were all most of the time working with like-minded spirits.
8
SPEAKER_00
No, no.
8
SPEAKER_02
I mean, as an actor, all the other jobs are so much harder than just... Oh, yeah.
8
SPEAKER_02
Totally.
8
SPEAKER_02
Goofing around.
8
SPEAKER_00
Right.
8
SPEAKER_00
Yeah.
8
SPEAKER_00
I would rather just goof around and have someone shoot it than... I could never do a real job.
8
SPEAKER_01
Is that what you re talking about?
8
SPEAKER_02
I m, no, wait.
8
SPEAKER_02

SPEAKER_02
Other jobs.

SPEAKER_02
Yeah.
8
SPEAKER_02
To be an actor.
8
SPEAKER_01
It s like, that s the easiest one.
8
SPEAKER_01
Well, that s why they all hate us.
8
SPEAKER_01
Because they go, look at you, and they go, look at you coming in here, tra-la-la.
8
SPEAKER_01
Oh, do you have to memorize three lines?
8
SPEAKER_01
And they re like, I m like, give me a minute.

8
SPEAKER_01
Show of hands.
8
SPEAKER_01
I m going to jump around here.
8
SPEAKER_01
I m going to jump around here.
8
SPEAKER_01
You re going to jump around, rapid fire?
8
SPEAKER_01
Norm was in Jeopardy with you a lot.
8
SPEAKER_01
Yeah.
8
SPEAKER_01
Any funny Norm stories or anything about Norm?
8
SPEAKER_01
Yeah.
8
SPEAKER_01
My God.
8
SPEAKER_01
That was brilliant.
8
SPEAKER_01
Jeopardy again, one of the big sketches that everyone remembers.
8
SPEAKER_01
Always funny.
8
SPEAKER_01
Darryl was funny and Norm was great.
8
SPEAKER_02
Yeah.
8
SPEAKER_02
The best Norm story was
8
SPEAKER_02
I think it s the one where he s wearing, he comes back, he s wearing a big foam cowboy hat.
8
SPEAKER_02
He s like, that s funny, huh?
8
SPEAKER_02
Wearing a cowboy hat.
8
SPEAKER_02
And anyway, there s some beat where I have to be super exasperated with him, and I yell at him, and we get out of the sketch.
8
SPEAKER_02
And Norm comes running after him, he s like, hey, well, everything okay?
8
SPEAKER_02
I go, yeah, why?
8
SPEAKER_02
He s like, you seem kind of mad at me out there.
8
SPEAKER_02
I m like, no, Norm, I m acting.
8
SPEAKER_02
We ve done it.
8
SPEAKER_02
This is like the fourth time we ve done the sketch.
8
SPEAKER_02
No, but that time it just seemed like you really were mad at me for some reason.
8
SPEAKER_02
I was like, no, we re good.
8
SPEAKER_00
That s very Norm right there.
8
SPEAKER_00
That s his sense of humor.
8
SPEAKER_00
Yeah, he seemed kind of mad there for a moment, right?
8
SPEAKER_00
But he was not, I don t think he was doing a bad job.
8
SPEAKER_00
He might ve been serious that you were streaming.
8
SPEAKER_02
He also was very sensitive in that way too.
8
SPEAKER_02
He was very shaken.
8
SPEAKER_02
Yeah.
8
SPEAKER_01
And then, uh, Cause you can commit hard and you probably scared him.
8
SPEAKER_02
Another Norm, another great Norm story has nothing to do with Quebec was, and Catan told me about it.
8
SPEAKER_02
They were on a flight together back,
8
SPEAKER_02
LA to New York.
8
SPEAKER_02
Chris had taken off his shoes and he can t find his shoes.
8
SPEAKER_02
They re about to land.
8
SPEAKER_02
Can t find his shoes.
8
SPEAKER_02
He s going to the flight attendant.
8
SPEAKER_02
Have you seen my shoes?
8
SPEAKER_02
I took them off.
8
SPEAKER_02
He s like, I don t know.
8
SPEAKER_02
He s like, Norm, come on.
8
SPEAKER_02
You took my shoes.
8
SPEAKER_02
No, I didn t.
8
SPEAKER_02
I didn t take your shoes.
8
SPEAKER_02
Why would I take your shoes?
8
SPEAKER_02
It s the stupidest thing I ve ever heard.
8
SPEAKER_02
I d never take... He s like, come on, give me back my shoes.
8
SPEAKER_02
I know you took them.
8
SPEAKER_02
Norm s like, I don t know what you re talking about.
8
SPEAKER_02
Catan has to walk through JFK... With no shoes?
8
SPEAKER_02
With no shoes, just in his socks.
8
SPEAKER_02
An entire season goes by, and then Catan and Norm are jousting back and forth about something.
8
SPEAKER_01
Yeah, they used to joust a little bit.
8
SPEAKER_02
And then Norm finally goes, oh yeah, and one other thing, I did take your shoes.
8
SPEAKER_02
That flight in November.
8
SPEAKER_02
Flight in November.
8
SPEAKER_02
I took them, I threw them in the trash can, just so you know.
8
SPEAKER_02
Yeah, he s like, I saw his shoes there, right?
8
SPEAKER_02
And I just, I kind of grabbed his shoes.
8
SPEAKER_02
So yeah, you were right.
8
SPEAKER_02
I had- He used to give Catan so much shit.
8
SPEAKER_01
Oh my God, yeah.
8
SPEAKER_01
He was tough.
8
SPEAKER_01
Okay, let s see if we have anything else.
8
SPEAKER_02
Well, before we let you go- Oh, and the other thing I was thinking about today, Downey used to give me the great, I loved being- Jim Downey.
8
SPEAKER_02
Sorry, Jim Downey, legendary writer who came up with strategery.
8
SPEAKER_02
Oh, he did.
8
SPEAKER_00
I had the A-team, too, writing for me with Al Franken and Jim Downey.
8
SPEAKER_00
Totally.
8
SPEAKER_02
But Downey, I loved being in Downey s sketches for a number of different reasons, but the best was between dress and air, and he d do it every single time, and I would laugh hard every single time.
8
SPEAKER_02
He d go, great job.
8
SPEAKER_02
Take it down about 1,000%.
8
SPEAKER_02
And then I would just, yeah, Sam, I d be like, uh-huh, yeah, okay.
8
SPEAKER_02
And he s like, I don t know what happened, you must have gotten into your big juice or something.
8
SPEAKER_02
But he would literally tell me to take it down a thousand percent.
8
SPEAKER_01
Worst advice, yeah.
8
SPEAKER_01
Did you?
8
SPEAKER_02
Made me laugh every time.
8
SPEAKER_01
And he would never say he s joking.
8
SPEAKER_01
Yeah.
8
SPEAKER_01
Yeah.
8
SPEAKER_01
Yeah.
8
SPEAKER_01
I remember one time I did a joke on Hollywood Minute about, with jokes, you know, they had some, some had a little more of a, some were clever, some had a little mean streak, but I did a Jim Carrey one.
8
SPEAKER_01
The funniest part is I liked 99% of the people.
8
SPEAKER_01
Of course.
8
SPEAKER_01
Jim Carrey, I was just trying to get a foot in the door at SNL and whatever it took, but
8
SPEAKER_01
Jim was doing these, you know, the movies that I loved, but I said, and they would always prod me to go farther.
8
SPEAKER_01
Right.
8
SPEAKER_01
Because it was like through them.
8
SPEAKER_01
I dare you.
8
SPEAKER_01
I said, oh, Jim s carry after this one of his movies just rushed to the hospital after an overdose of, uh, uh,
8
SPEAKER_01
overacting pills with play it too big juice.
8
SPEAKER_01
And, uh, and the crowd just stared at me and it was, it was too soon.
8
SPEAKER_01
Don t don t mess with that fucking guy.
8
SPEAKER_00
Yeah.
8
SPEAKER_00
Jim Carrey.
8
SPEAKER_01
And I was like, no, I love, you know, and anyway, that was cut after dress.
8
SPEAKER_01
But, uh, but dressers, it was a good, but that was those guys.
8
SPEAKER_01
And they, they would write me the roughest Hollywood minute jokes.
8
SPEAKER_01
I like that rewrite table.
8
SPEAKER_01
They go, Jim would be like, oh, you would never.
8
SPEAKER_01
Well, no, you re too much of a pussy.
8
SPEAKER_01
And I go, no, I m not.

8
SPEAKER_00
That s why it s so funny.
8
SPEAKER_01
They get to say whatever they want.

SPEAKER_02
Anyway, that s the end of the story.
8
SPEAKER_00
Yeah.
8
SPEAKER_00
All right.
8
SPEAKER_00
Well, I think I think we re going to have a few people like a question.
8
SPEAKER_00
Hey, a penny saved is a penny earned, they say.
8
SPEAKER_00
Right.
8
SPEAKER_00
That s like a hundred percent return.
8
SPEAKER_00
You can t get that anywhere.
8
SPEAKER_00
Is that what he said?
8
SPEAKER_00
I was just talking on the phone with Norm, you know.
8
SPEAKER_00
Yeah.
8
SPEAKER_00
You should bury some money.
8
SPEAKER_00
Right.
8
SPEAKER_00
Because then later on, your relatives will dig it up and they ll have money.
8
SPEAKER_00
Right.
8
SPEAKER_00
He just had the driest, funniest vibe.
8
SPEAKER_02
I didn t have a TV the first year I was on the show, because I just didn t buy one, because I thought I m never going to be in my apartment.
8
SPEAKER_02
So I d go and watch the NBC sports feed on like a Sunday.
8
SPEAKER_02
Norm, of course, is in there.
8
SPEAKER_02
And Norm enjoyed gambling on sports.
8
SPEAKER_02
And we were watching some game, and I m like, ooh, got to watch out, you know, University of Cincinnati.
8
SPEAKER_02

9
SPEAKER_03
There s no way.
9
SPEAKER_03
How do I know that stuff?
9

9
SPEAKER_03
A week later, Noah s like, you cost me 35 grand.

9
SPEAKER_03
And I m like, what?

SPEAKER_03
You said they were really good and raining, raining.
9
SPEAKER_03
You bet on, I was joking.
9
SPEAKER_03
And you bet that much?
9
SPEAKER_03
Yeah.
9
SPEAKER_03
Yeah.
9
SPEAKER_03
Why are you telling me that amount too?
9
SPEAKER_04

9
SPEAKER_04
Oh, that s funny.
9
SPEAKER_04

And he goes, yeah.
9
SPEAKER_04
And then Lovett s like, can I get my money back?
9
SPEAKER_04
And he goes, no, no, I lost it, I lost all of it.
9
SPEAKER_04
He goes, why are you mad?
9
SPEAKER_04

9
SPEAKER_04

9
SPEAKER_04
We love Norm.
9
SPEAKER_04
There was only one Norm.
9
SPEAKER_04
He was amazing.
9
SPEAKER_04
A comedy genius.
9
SPEAKER_04
So Will Ferrell.
9
SPEAKER_05
Dana, I think they want to ask a few questions in the audience.
9
SPEAKER_05
Then we ll get Will into his limo.
9
SPEAKER_04
I was just going to butter up Will.
9
SPEAKER_04
I was going to say to Will, because he loves sports, like if I was going to do a sports team of SNL stars, you know, I put you at the power forward.
9
SPEAKER_04
Maybe an Aykroyd or a Phil at the center.
9
SPEAKER_04
Yeah.
9
SPEAKER_04
Maybe Bill Hader.
9
SPEAKER_04
After that, I never try to pick SNL people because then I go, fuck Adam Sandberg, I miss him.
9
SPEAKER_04
But I would, you, Lauren said that about you.
9
SPEAKER_04
No.
9
SPEAKER_04
He s a top two at least.
9
SPEAKER_04
Top two?
9
SPEAKER_04
Well, is he possibly one?
9
SPEAKER_04
I m not going to say, but he s a top two.
9
SPEAKER_03
Top three.
9
SPEAKER_03
Top three.
9
SPEAKER_03
Where in that three, I don t know.
9
SPEAKER_03
We don t know.
9
SPEAKER_05
I feel like the general consensus is me, Dana, Will.
9
SPEAKER_05
In the history of SNL.
9
SPEAKER_05
And sometimes it mixes up.
9
SPEAKER_05
Will, Dana, me.
9
SPEAKER_05
But we re up there, man.
9
SPEAKER_05
It s lonely, but we re up there.
9
SPEAKER_05
Now, I was sort of an intern there for six years.
9
SPEAKER_04
David Spade plays the little engine that could, but you ve got an incredible career.
9
SPEAKER_04
Who did World Missy?
9
SPEAKER_04
800 million minutes.
9
SPEAKER_04
Yeah.
9
SPEAKER_04

9
SPEAKER_05
That s how it goes now.
9
SPEAKER_05
Six billion minutes.
9
SPEAKER_04
That s a hit.
9
SPEAKER_05
That feels good.
9
SPEAKER_05
I don t know.
9
SPEAKER_05
It sounds like a lot of minutes.
9
SPEAKER_05
Yeah.
9
SPEAKER_05
Six billion minutes.
9
SPEAKER_04
It s the biggest film in Chile.
9
SPEAKER_05
Oh yeah.

SPEAKER_04
They love you in Uruguay, kid.
9
SPEAKER_05
I can t step foot in Bulgaria.
9
SPEAKER_03
Lower Mongolia.
9
SPEAKER_05
You re killing it.
9
SPEAKER_05
Go out there.
9
SPEAKER_05
We re going to ask Will.
9
SPEAKER_05
We ll give four questions to the audience.
9
SPEAKER_05
And then, Will, you don t even have to answer if you don t want to.
9
SPEAKER_05
Just make them feel stupid.
9
SPEAKER_05
All right.
9
SPEAKER_05
Does anyone have a question?
9
SPEAKER_05
And then he ll run out there and then
9
SPEAKER_05
Oh, we got one over there.
9
SPEAKER_05
Let me see.
9
SPEAKER_05
Too late.
9
SPEAKER_05
He was over there.
9
SPEAKER_06
Oh, no, I m over here.
9
SPEAKER_06
Hello.
9
SPEAKER_06
Do you guys have a favorite sketch that literally just never made it even past pitch?
9
SPEAKER_06
Like not something that got cut for time or cut from rehearsal, but you pitched it and you thought it was great and it just did not go over.
9
SPEAKER_03
I had a sketch that tops my list.
9
SPEAKER_03
I had written a sketch about a guy who looks exactly like Gabe Kaplan from Welcome Back, Cotter.
9
SPEAKER_03
And Colton, he s a super, and he works in insurance, he works, the insurance company he works for, he knows that Gabe Kaplan is a client.
9
SPEAKER_03
And it s the day that Gabe Kaplan came in to renew his insurance coverage, but no one told him.
9
SPEAKER_03
No one told my character that Gabe Kaplan was there.
9
SPEAKER_03
And I was... How did this not get on?
9
SPEAKER_03
Are you sure this didn t get on?
9
SPEAKER_03
It got on.
9
SPEAKER_03
No, it got on a dress, but it was so silent.
9
SPEAKER_03
At one point, there s the smallest laugh in the world, like kind of in the upper deck there.
9
SPEAKER_03
You just hear...
9
SPEAKER_03
But it died so hard.
9
SPEAKER_03
So that was it.
9
SPEAKER_03
But it worked great at the table.
9
SPEAKER_05
I have one quickie, which was a guy.
9
SPEAKER_05
I m sorry, buddy.
9
SPEAKER_05
He was obsessed with Kurt Cobain after his death.
9
SPEAKER_05
And I worked at Baskin Robbins and I wouldn t wash my hair.
9
SPEAKER_05
and Bob Odenkirk and I wrote it, and it was, Kurt, every time, I was trying to name ice creams after him, and then when people come in, they go, my manager goes, you gotta wash your hair, I go, no, Kurt, he, Kurt and Dirt, you can t wash him away.
9
SPEAKER_05
And then again, crickets.
9
SPEAKER_05
But that was crickets at read through with Odenkirk, who s a great writer.
9
SPEAKER_05
And it was a fully formed sketch and it just didn t work.
9
SPEAKER_04
Season two, we re doing a press conference and they said, do you have any new catchphrases to me?
9
SPEAKER_04
So I just said my new catchphrase is I got to got to got to go.
9
SPEAKER_04
Right.
9
SPEAKER_04
So I wrote a sketch called Funny Little Poopy Head, and I was Mr. Funny Little Poopy Head, Jan Hooks was Ms.
9
SPEAKER_04
Funny Little Poopy Head, and it was really, if it had gotten on I would have enjoyed it, but it was just to hear Lorne say Funny Little Poopy Head, so there was so much
9
SPEAKER_04
Stage direction, and Lorne Michaels had to say that thing.
9
SPEAKER_04
Funny little poopy head walks across the room.
9
SPEAKER_04
Funny little poopy head walks across the room.
9
SPEAKER_04
That kind of thing.
9
SPEAKER_04
And then he goes, I got to, I got to, I got to go.
9
SPEAKER_04
And then Jan Hooks  hook was, and I ma go on with him.
9
SPEAKER_04

We got one more question.
9
SPEAKER_05
All right.
9
SPEAKER_01
Hey, this is for Will.
9
SPEAKER_01
Whenever you are on SNL, you would often go on Conan as different characters.
9
SPEAKER_01
You would never come on as yourself.
9
SPEAKER_01
Was Conan aware of this?
9
SPEAKER_01
Because I feel like he was not in on the bit and he was often surprised when you would do this.
9
SPEAKER_03
No, he was just
11
SPEAKER_02
moment you know I for me like meeting Charlton Heston was a big deal you know like whoa you know because you meet these hosts and they re sitting down there and then they go yeah would you like to go say hello to Robert Mitchum sure you know it s like you re walking down the line she would come in get in there Sharon Stone no one s in there I m like

11
SPEAKER_00

11
SPEAKER_00
We hadn t even gotten- So it was fledgling.
11
SPEAKER_00
It was fledgling.
11
SPEAKER_00
And then he doesn t know me from, he could care less.
11
SPEAKER_02
You got bamboozled.
11
SPEAKER_00
We both just did this to each other.
11
SPEAKER_02
You did Roxbury?
11
SPEAKER_00

11
SPEAKER_00

11
SPEAKER_00

11
SPEAKER_00

11
SPEAKER_00

11
SPEAKER_00

11
SPEAKER_00
Is this a hectic work week for you?
11
SPEAKER_00
Yeah, it s a busy week.
11
SPEAKER_00
Seems like a lot.
11
SPEAKER_00
But you could tell he was stressed to be there.
11
SPEAKER_00
It was just like... And Al Gore was there too.
11
SPEAKER_00
And Al Gore was there and commanding the room.
11
SPEAKER_00
Oh yeah.
11
SPEAKER_02
He seemed... We re gonna put it in a log box.
11
SPEAKER_00
He was like totally presidential.
11
SPEAKER_02
But then when they debated, it flipped.
11
SPEAKER_02
Did you have to study tapes or you just kind of got it just by watching him?
11
SPEAKER_02
Watching.
11
SPEAKER_00
Darryl Hammond helped me a little bit.
11
SPEAKER_02
Tightening the neck, right?

SPEAKER_00
That and squinting a little bit.
11
SPEAKER_00
The eyes squinting.
11
SPEAKER_00
Yeah.
11
SPEAKER_02
But you did kind of look like him when you got the whole gear on.
11
SPEAKER_00
But I think it got better over time, but at first it wasn t that great.
11
SPEAKER_00
Same with me, I didn t have Bush Sr.
11
SPEAKER_00
at all.
11
SPEAKER_02
Only Ross Perot was quick, because it was such a cartoon right away.
11
SPEAKER_01
Can I finish one time?
11
SPEAKER_01
Can I finish one time?
11
SPEAKER_01
