Seven hundred and sixty nine with Mister It's made care now entering noticed dot com

packages for the headphones on his check. You know. Sometimes this job is painful to You knew that when you signed up for this I'm sorry, I didn't mean to get all worked up in front of even telling you what I've been telling you little Tina. Fey Tina Fey TA little bit little bit, you don't wear headphones. There's a hoodie, it's ridiculous! Why don't you use earbuds, You just change your world

Oh yeah! That's the fastest, cheaper solution. Let's see nineteen dollars and fifty thousand dollars whenever implying headphones, just get some ear, Bud We're we're not we're not recording music. He doesn't have to you have to worry about to. Let me in the right the levels that are here yeah David, Spade yeah. I left loud because I enjoy it. I feel, like the take the first time I met you going down, it's already happening. This happening walked in yeah. I need some powder movie final touches. You know, I am powder by the way I was I saw powder and I feel this. I can't wait to see this kid get beat up every five seconds and then I got so so then do it halfway. I'm like he's in the locker project him, I'm so much like powder, so fragile, so horrible, but I feel like the first time I met. You was probably in the

Teen hundred sounds pro in not as old as me getting bad yeah, but you probably saw me when you're a child the crib. No, no. I think I met you when I was working at MTV, probably ok. Well, it was singled out. That's right! Oh my god, I forget. All about that. That's right, I mean all the all the 90s stuff is. It feels like Jenny that hold we did Jenny and Carmen Electra? That's right, yeah Jenny left to do a sitcom and Carmen and then I was on, for a while. I was at the the run the run. Ninety the ninety eight was actually pretty pretty good for an MTV show nine and we did. We did sixty five episodes in what was it like in in just a handful of weeks. You know we do like for a day. We do too,

and then take a break for lunch and then, where you corralling fifty single men and women Father, you never run out of idiots that it was like the bachelor. Well, the best part about the desert rose the first season of the show but no one knew what the show was. So, to get that many people to show up even with audience coordinators, so they had a van and they basically just Our p, to like a mall, no like we're doing a show getting the van into some people are like. Ok, then people just like fucking God in the face and that's how the Bang bus works in the Van ok, thank God. Spanglish always confounds Maine, this chick Miami, it seems like it. I always wanted a prep them, because that no one can act this well, you know no, it's it's I'm I just assumed something. Important is stage. I don't know that summer really liked everything important is staged because that 'cause they would have to be a certain point where, let's just say it wasn't

agent, you met some random person you, rather than when you're like hey, get in the Van and like ok and they're like can we thank you for one hundred dollars in the lakeshore at a certain point, that person would have to sign like I just feel like they would I don't well there is there? Is there a team again, the head of a license. No, I didn't I I it doesn't take it out for me, because get really turned on by paperwork and business practices when I'm whacking of paperwork slows things down in my head, like that, but she's signed, so many forms filled the longer. The name of that form is the harder I get more copies on, like it's a one thousand and forty, Easyjet, a pdf on our back on those? You know see if signing I'm glad it's not. Your bare asses, basically like a fingerprint. So it's like everything. The whole van seat is Capac, but it works though, for me- something magical. You know several

Van at all. Doesn't work for something separate separately. I'm bother that it's not an actual bus. I think I'm just I'm van that a bank and yeah thank buses. Catchier it is. I you could call the veggie van and route there now you're, not but now you're to their mistress yeah. You need to supply all the I don't know that. Might it should be the Simpson's reference but yeah? I guess that that's totally what we just gone was the father of her name, the name again: okay, well that yeah yeah plucking, but when I first went to the I went to UCLA at one. Ninety three and I was in UCLA Comedy Club at UCLA, okay, and when the president of the the county club left he

did me his notebook and said this is all the comedians numbers who we can call to come perform in the dorms. You were one of those people a great day. You it. You did what yeah you did you did you did it for you, you did it for him like it was like a year before it was right before you book that so now I think judge it was like two and a college. It was like doing a college yeah, but it wasn't a lot of money. I mean it was maybe just a couple hundred bone yeah. You know I did a lot of colleges when I started SNL before I try to get a knack Oneco is is like a like. That's like a wolf. Also, isn't it still going strong? It's amazing people in two thousand five hundred and I'm like for one show they book. Thirty, oh wow watt. I couldn't I'm going, I'm getting four hundred drive up to so I try to get naked, could not yet Vhs and did not work, and then

I started doing these colleges and one I remember is when I got on. I live oak couple. People remember. Thank you I thought it my imagination. I was watching bang. I was new and I was middle ACT, but they want you to headline. You know because now, you're known We got Adam and Rob. We were all the stand up, so we caught Dan was making a killing Dana Carvey for the younger home again, of course, what aid is talking for the young, whoever he is so is this was I did. I think it's called sacred heart university and you know I used to do stand up. Yes, it is most so when you do stand up, you you're you're told for the audience to do whatever time I can open it as this much medalist twenty five to thirty headlining used as forty five to an hour. Is that fair in a club now some

guys love to go along. I do not. I would rather go shorter because I know I have a. You go, but I just do not like to sit there and bore them forever. I, like I like to keep it sort of where the you're still good, you know, 'cause the longer you do, the less chance, they're all winners right, but some guys you cannot get off. So I was doing some college gig and they go forty five to an hour and I go great and it was couple grand. It was a huge gig for me. So I took a car all the way out there. I do it and I'm I'm clanking so horribly and I had my little set list. But I buzz through the whole act in forty three minutes, and this is never happened. I'm like I did everything end to end and usual. An hour but with no lapse in pure crickets. It was. I was like I hate it, and then I review go mess of the crowd of my,

Where do you go to school, though I hear like ok there I talked to the crowd that didn't burn as much time as I thought, and then I had forty three and then they had to pay me my you know foreground or something, and they brought me in that you didn't do your time his supposed to forty five. If they didn't pay me, when I went home and cried to my manager, I mean I was wrong in a way, but the thing is they cannot pay you because you're not funny which what they wanted to do right. So they found a little hook there. Two minutes yeah and I think I've got half the money, but whatever it was. It was very humiliating. Oh my god. What colleges K summer when I first started doing colleges- and I thought well, this is going to be great kid yup. You know, I remember being I loved to laugh yeah and you go and you find out a lot of them if they don't, especially if they don't know who you are there. It they're kinda, tight and there's a lot of things.

If you say they go move like because you're a grown up, saying things that they're, not you see, you don't know how dirty you can be in some as they tell you, you got to tone it down and shooting off on I this is. I I have another book called for stories this ones in it that Janine I waited a naval base and it was three thousand Navy cadets and they said you cannot swear and I think there's maybe even Jon Stewart, maybe back then so we that in Jenin was last and you went to meet the general after any paid you, so she decided if you were getting paid. If you were good enough, whatever have you ever gotten low superior officer? So no, are you asking me no just coding figure then so I went and then I did my crummy act and then she went and she said fuck accidentally and they freaked out and everyone stopped and she was like oh fuck it I'm not getting.

Anyway now she killed, because she didn't care and that's what they want to hear anyway, right so everyone's laughing hysterically and then afterwards I would ally jealous that she killed him like we're, not paying her right trying to Should I take her money, go saddle up next gen on his side of the desk and while sorry Janine, I followed the rules John and I will but I hope you learn something they still paid her and I was like and she got to kill. Well, they always tell like. Whenever you go to Europe, I think there's some universities you go to in there. Usually, if, if, if it's over, if it's a religious university, they will say, like you know, don't swear did I did one when they were like. Don't talk about the catholic church, but I went to catholic School and halfway through the set. It's really hard it's hard to, address it, because it's it's a thing that you all have in common and it feels like and always works

and so I did and it killed, because that's I wanted to hear the intro and I got and I get the stink eye afterwards. They were not there like. You did exactly what we asked corporate gigs to for the audience. I wouldn't tell these stories, but it's sort of interesting to know that when you're comma, can you get these gigs corporate gigs are true. I mean there most of the time it's clean, an it's especially nowadays. 'cause they're always right lawsuit, because they have some comic in there was like who eats. You know right if it's very dirty, that's who they had once right and every job is like F word, meaning like right thing, and so, when I would do it, you could throw in some fox without them even noticing. If you act is not well super rough, you know right, you don't really hear it, but when it's really pointed and harsh that's what they're scared of so they they give you the all these warnings and I don't even know if I've ever had a problem. They might have said as a couple in there, but it was still fun. Everyone is a good time, their their adults, they usually pay. Corporate gifts can be a little rough because your base

We going into their bubble and and and they can be a little territory in a lot of times, maybe they're drunk or there it's just like them over yeah, it's like going into someone's house, and they don't know you and you're, like hey everyone. I know you don't know me but pay attention to Maine right when you start doing personal jokes like they always want you, they go hey the VP three balls and beats his wife say something funny say some. You know you know Randy, there's a lot of homes on his desk. They always with the call- and that is I'm a Randy known as he is like one of my doing. A rent is upset yeah, storms out yeah yeah. They always go out and do you know we do and- and I when I was in bed once and I was headlining- why I don't know when it's in bad was opening and he went out and and I deleted for solid forty five about their work. He was like. You were corporate

comedian, his act now who's got. Is it q three? At over here- and I'm like- what's he talking about, then I get up in a meat is good dogs are funny, and I go on my act that was like. Well, I tell us yeah, that's the thing is the one. That knows us. That's why it's hard sometimes to follow crowd work with your jokes, because when you're not talking about them anymore than sometimes they can listen to them as soon as they like. About us is when you stop doing that. They're, like they're waiting for you to go out of my sweater, was going to say what even are those are all about them use their head. What did you audition with SNL with like it did, knowing that they were pulling on stand ups at the time? What do you, what do you audition with when you're supposed to go in and do characters not good characters as we found over the seas? I got it by like a loophole, I mean it was really Dennis Miller. Helped. I use one of my favorite comics. I did the young

the inspection HBO, which used to be a pretty big deal huge huge deal. I talk about that a little bit I just because I don't know it's it it's interesting to me that I try to get on three years in a row and back when it was thirty. Four networks, maybe fox, just started and then you've got HBO, which is really the only game in town for cable, I a nanny for the younger and seventy five channels or there wasn't snaps for the younger live yeah there cell phones for real. I don't even I remember that far back, but I I was there and I did stand up and I finally got on I mean I would lose out like Richard Belzer MIKE I'm actually younger than three Arizona, long blonde white hair. I look different, could not pull through and then Brad Grey was the producer, Brillstein Grey and Dennis Miller. That was when I barely got on. They had five. They picked the five and I was six

oh my god, I crashed again and then Dennis and Brad told him. You know what make it six and I want to lose shorter set oh my god and then Warren Thomas, who is a comedian back then pass, though, is we have passed away yeah he did crowd work and he did not prep that much and he just started in the crowd in just one night. Doesn't work as well. And they cut his time down, and they gave me my full set so when it aired, I got a chunk out of it Add Schneider and I offer that got auditions for us now with Tom Kenny and we went to New York and did catch a rising star. Mom again I mean it's so crazy. I bomb my windows enough because Dennis goes, you know spot like if you, if you kill too hard it's a bit of a red flag for these guys. You know they don't like some role

pack and I go so don't do good wait. What do I do? I don't get laughed, I didn't make any sense, but what he meant is there. Looking at the writing of the jokes which I can see now, but back then I just was like who did the best. It was all that so Tom Kenny did the best and Robin I didn't do well at all, and you know it's right. Twenty five people there is one of those nights where it's just sort of like you're, just talking to yourself so you're basically telling your job, as written. It says, they're almost like reading them right. Like here's, a joke, you think that's doing a lot of reading. While I check again, yes, it's a live and they were like okay, we'll bring on his writers and performers and then but it was more in the writing tip. They didn't really want me to write myself in for the first two three years. And then rob starting it on more than Farley Farley Chris Rocks, and I was like what about speed but LEO here,

A minute is that what broke you through yeah, I did that receptionist and you are, I mean I was in little bits and dribs and drabs an update bits, but nothing that was like catching too hard and I was always on the brink of getting tired. They would always call Lauren recalled in season. I don't know, but David is really fit in years. Working working, and so I'm using Talking to me, Sir he's like murmur murmur, make it louder. I David. I don't know, you're, not getting it, but he would call Brad and they would talk about it and I I just would come back and try to do it again and I wasn't a super character. He guy wasn't super great writer for sketches and hooks, and all that I was just doing like my jokes like I do now is like attitude and stuff and it wasn't the place for, but ultimately

I thought maybe I should do the news I was thinking. Maybe that would be good, but that was my decision. I did not by anybody who's doing the news now. I think you should leave so I. Finally, the Hollywood minute Bob Odenkirk, you him from you, remember him from this new show yeah it doesn't ring about it and he still writing. At that time too was was Bill odenkirk riding now? Never, never! I don't think so. Oh bill since yeah yeah it was Conan. O'brien is my goal and Bob Odenkirk, Jeezy right away. That's why, I get anything on these guys are the best guys like absolute it's unreal and they all went off everyone's in Harvard Ann and MIKE Myers is writing. Chris Rock writes his own stuff sand, and Dana and you go ok, so I gotta beat all them and then be, but I can't even be as good so for the first year was just try not to embarrass myself and read through, like just don't, have people to look tough uh,

who wrote this look around. I ain't there's no ones helping you. They want you to die, they say if you get on, they don't get on so there's sort of one talks, but there's that quiet palpable, like tension of. If you leave, will all be fine right. You know I mean the cast is getting fatter. There's like six feature players and the cat. So when you get on, though that means you earned it, you really earned it he's so tough nicely Sandler falls guitar case. I got off because every every song I'm like he can't have another catchy one that kills and he's like. Red hooded sweatshirt, I'm like goddamnit sing it all weekend stuck in my head. I go oh, no! It's going to kill so he was. These guys are off and running, and I just not feeling sorry for myself, I'm just saying the reality was I was. It took me just longer to catch up Hollywood minute, really helped Lauren sort of turned on me there and said turn with me and said you know you want to do that again. Next week I was like oh she

Yeah and then two weeks later, Hollywood minute, maybe oh sure, and then that helped me get in a few more sketches. By the end, I stay at a year too long like a senior that goes to community college and comes back 'cause will Ferrell came in and how long it was. He was just coming there, Cheri Oteri, they were all great, but I just had a five there's all this could be a five minute junkie. Do whatever side really didn't do sketches? I just stayed in had one bit. Thank you frank. This writer I brought in and we did yeah. I know you. We wrote just bits every week like I do feel pieces which I figured out. I hated it so cringe of other evil, but it really! I you know, I think, is not my thing. I get so cringe gee. I don't embarrass people and I feel stupid. So, but we wrote that's when I got the tattoo from Sean Penn, I gotta I just scrambling every week, even that I had all week to think about. One thing I couldn't come up with:

working hard. It's hard, it's really hard 'cause. It's basically like a test, and you don't know if it's going to work until you do it on live television in front of me, as people got twenty years of SNL, how many sketches they wrote, you can't be like any of them. And nothing like anyone's. Do this weekend. They always wanted the topical like why this week, can you go wrong like one time Farley was in this meeting, I put that in the some store in the book of Farley. You know that the you hear about that right. Pitch meeting on SNL, so we all crammed it up. Not this might have a dump. You know where we're doing this, well. That's like Lauren's office exactly- and this is probably a little longer and every cast member and writer crimson and then the host there like Jim Downey's here in your lawn room. You've got the most room now world jammed and over and so we just goes round is each pop Tom Hanks you know, and then we all,

go. I had a thing, a caveman afraid of caves. You know it's like fake ideas, 'cause, no one thought of anything yet, but it makes the host feel like you're working. You know and it could just be like a wispy idea. Like you know, dancers breathe really hard when they finish the number that, like they freeze it's hard to say on the radio, but You could just say that to get a laugh and you're never going to write it 'cause, it's only one joke right, but the hoses yeah, these guys are really thinking real thinkers. Meanwhile, who were all worried about Joe Pesci from last week? We just finished that show in our Like Tom Hanks, Fuckin' start scratch again, and so I remember it was like Alec Baldwin sitting there and then, when you got to Farley he was always so nervous because he doesn't know what he's doing he's got like boogers

and after this trip I go this year pitch, she goes- I don't know, and so he goes. I got one this week. Ok, so everyone is waiting and he's pulling in the shag carpet with his fingers and sweating and yanking his hair and I'm like oh boy 'cause. He knew we had this big pitch and he's like anything for Alec Chris and then Chris goes off. Alec Baldwin, it's causing both names like a psycho. I got I gotta I was thinking this week and I saw that you know. Marty goes with Ernest Borgnine yeah. He goes. I was thinking like do something about that.

Everyone is just staring in. Lorain goes horn goes well. This is the week everyone is going to be looking for our Marty, sketch cycle movie from nineteen. Fifty four about he's, like you know, social active, I'm like what do you? Talking talking, we walked out of that. You gave him that make up something something from last ten years anything Alec Baldwin's, freaking out. These are writing a Marty skin by the way he was writing the schedule. 'cause, I don't like him because he would never write you can have it. If you want to go, let me run with it. Always Alec Baldwin Marty goes. I didn't workout all the details, yet so that's what they were so stressful. I was just giving city ideas to on my own just looking around the room, a brick wall, but you just don't know what to say Laurence. Always

but you disappoint rain is so you have to be so frightening. Is there anybody who was like annoyingly good at those pitches? You know Frank and Al Franken who Senator Franken get along with you, but he would pitch pretty good, but he would laugh so hard his own joke. I thought they were funny. That sounds like a you finished it. So maybe your little device that you're voting, he would say it laugh his fucking house off and I won't go ok, but it was hard. Yes, Michael always is pretty bad. He was, he was about the best home run hitter and he was sort of quiet about it, but you just go how we should write me, something 'cause whenever he locks into something he's very good and Jack handy always had away good idea, and you thought it was a fake id but would write it and it would be very clever and you be like, like happy fun ball,

yes do, not Tom, happy fun, ball being dropped on our troops in Iraq sometimes the commercial parties? I mean we're all over the place here, but the commercial parodies were really fun right. Bad idea, jeans, I think that might have Oh, that Schneider Snyders, great one is a great sketch slows it. I didn't work on where we going. I was going to work on with that. I want to be in Haiti, Well, I don't even get it they had explained to me. I was like oh ok. Well, I know they give me the dud. Then all these huge black guys coming to go have a five on five sounds good, sounds good

that idea idea jeans, closet yeah. I was always trying to make the commercial parodies like a sneaky way back door into get on. The show feel like you, wrote something or were contributing. Somehow I wrote she ahead. That was the first one, you know what they made it yet, but they did yeah. They still do. I think exactly still everything I did. I made the box, I mean everything and they were like thanks good idea, commercial parodies are so close to real ones, they're funny. Well also they go to places that those companies were like. Oh, we can't talk about it, but if you do it and it becomes popular like you're, basically doing a sales pitch for them. Yeah there was a lot of the woombah, never became a thing: the woman you ever the womb, but that was know what wasn't room but like a like a it was a right I feel like. I was a Tina Fey. One where it was like a rumor for your, it was like it would go down your pants

there's another one in the 80s. It was like a stretch it was invented by it was. It was a birth control device made by NORAD called sack the Strategic AIR contraceptive, and it was this like radar screen, and you saw these firms, and you saw this radar screen sweeping and you saw the sperm slowly disappearing, They fired snows, make him so hilarious. Yeah I mean it. I think Jim Downey said the key to commercial parties is usually a nonexistent problem, in effect how do you think that was was Hartman, a guy who always was just locked right away because it there's some guy there's a there's, usually one person on each season. Who is so they seem so unshakable yeah

like Ferrell, seems like one of those guys at Hartman, archivar, guys Kevin Nealon's, a very even keeled guy. That was always a solid writer. I always liked his stand up, but he did update then so he was in sketches less, but Phil Hartman was for sure the solid guy and tragically died after that in by his wife am yeah. I remember that story, our room and remembered well. The two kids are, I think he he she shot him and then she shot herself right. But Phil was such a great guy there. It's it's it's a little hard to talk about, because there was one is one three was so nice and so good and and really talented. To look up to I mean Farley was his own. You know monster, but Phil is just so. Good acting and he was good writer who wrote stuff and he was the one when you look at as the most so they called him the glue cuz. He was just always you plan. Any sketch

so sell, even the most subtle or is being a dad or something, but he changed so much you could put him in anything is always killing it. I like that I mean what's so stupid. I just still memories. It's like the book. I was reading out loud, but this isn't in there So so it's an exclusive still buy it. That story? I can't get the book all the good ones are in which they were in prints. Better Kevin Nealon did one waiters without a pad, which I thought was a fake id by fake id again, but it was, I think, Phil Hartman and Victoria Jackson Jackson on a date, and he was always so calm and cool, but kept going to get you guys, any goes she'd like sort of the sea bass. Well done, and he goes ok, ok and he goes fellow. Do you want to write this?

and he goes no, no I've got it all up here. You know way to do that. 'cause, I always think about in real life 'cause. It is, are you sure, and he goes yeah I take gin and tonic. He goes. Ok comes, I guess, cream because he's for the lady and spaghetti meatballs for you and there's. No, no, sir, hey Buddy Buddy! No! No! These are none. Of these are ours write. This down, I was gonna say it again, is that I got it. I got it, so it is like a pre enough of this ridiculous things and it goes no. No, I already don't tell me any as our easy this is SAM and now now let me just tell you so you're. Not let me guess wait is not a pad so now that stuck in my head so every time away to guys just I got none it's right at first, I know you're up and then I don't do my whole order eggs. I go I'm guessing how many you can Anil. So if I say light, cheese often is that that's all I'm giving you because I know you'll up. One is if, if I give you for

Weird things I want to will not just not be heard so who who were up with a different host coming in each week- and you know, obviously these people come in the very famous their egos to navigate their certain things with everyone pretty much that everyone pretty much come in a playful. State of mind or whether people like don't talk about this, or this is weird or there's I mean when SNL yeah. No, no one says anything, so you get there and we got hired and we did four shows at the end of the season so picture. Like may shows- or whatever April may so Robin I come in an crummy table like this. This is probably it was just a wood desk, an I don't. The bubbles you pop it up like this is a great show with like and our script demeanor spent. I don't know I just email, it shows great. I just think it's a little dumping, so it was like a lot. It was like this

and a yellow legal pad and a box of pens and they go there. Is your office go and I'm like what what we do like? I don't. I write a sketch and I thought they'd be coaching me like there be a montage there for he's a jolly good fellow new cast member and no scared they just there's so in their world. To do their shift, especially mid season like they just walk in, hey, ok, go in their office, they start writing. They start freaking out and money, meaning, and no one tells about meetings. You just have to ask. Is there they all this money meeting. I didn't get told right meetings, so I was sort of floundering around and I'm writing a twelve pages long. It's got fifteen Okay, so we can't even it's the old as yet you're right handed to the type is women like on mad men or something and they type you your sketch, so looks all perfect, but they said I'm just gonna tell you like. This is too many sets and

no fucking anything. These are like the typeface. Cypress are selling your house like a page six. This is a fucking bomb. Alright, like what do you thinking- and I probably shouldn't say anything I mean you shouldn't say anything she's like yeah, you're horrible writer, maybe I'm out of line. Is there something Monkeys, monkeys anyone law, ok, the elephant. We don't need for sure, but it was like that. So I go and then I talked to love it's. He was there. It was his final two It wasn't easy too many sets and I was like thank you. Any feedback is appreciated, so we just had to sort of

We had a cone and took a little time Newkirk. They would sort of okay a few minutes here and there, but there were about their own and then I came back and that's when rocking Farley Sandler came on here, so it I started, my own will buddies and stuff, but you really felt like an outsider for awhile, I mean who weird that my books called boo hoo I'm chain. It's called I'm during this MIKE in the trash I have the MIKE throw that was based on an emoticon. Is you know them like one really like yeah? Is it like that? Well yeah, it's funny, that's great! If the books almost interest called almost interesting yeah by the way which is available somewhere watching it is I'm always interested to see

who pops on the show and who doesn't who pops afterwards 'cause. Chris Rock. I don't feel like Chris Rock ever really popped when he was on SNL, it's kind of went away and don't stand up for a couple years and he came back and made. What is, I think, probably one of the most definitive stand up bring. The pain is one of the most 'cause. You know he seem like he was trying to find his voice for a little bit and he did some stuff that not exile, we thought was great sketch, but it wasn't really until perfect place for my one hundred degree coming in known as a great stand up. Not quite you know, he's got Al Frankin. There could be. Diametrically opposite personalities and- and I was trying to put him in stuff right away and then sort of gave up on him mean and not not not fair to Albert, like it just was in his total thing. You know know acting classes like none of us really had that, but he just it wasn't his thing right then, at that moment in time, and he was getting very frustrated and they weren't giving him

break in the book and he's channeling his stand up into where way to do an update or whatever and when he left he was very down, and I remember because we were buds back then, and he had to sort of self up and go do two years of stand up on the road and just get their confidence back he's always but you know your own head you're like I just got. Let go of a show, you know from the show, so he came back with a monster special which was surprising to some, but the ones that no more, like. That's the Chris Rock that we know that's great and then from then on always a highly highly respected stand up very funny guy, but after the show was tough, I mean I got just which was another sort of lark.

Yeah. I think so is that a bird? So I go, I go from there to do. You want your own show 'cause! You get like one free shot right at your own shadow, but if you miss you, don't you know Arsenio, he did his own show and then get another huge network show right away. Sometimes you do, but I said oh yeah I go, I don't know, is there a great ideas and then they had just shoot me an. It was a pilot and they were going to network up front. So do you know what they are yet you know. So that's a pilot. That's made it through all this, and it's going to get on the show so they're flying in New York with Laura San Giacomo to announce

just shoot me with the forecast members, an Brad Grey says, and marker with my managers are like hey, they produced it and they go. We watch this tape. Um they're, going to pull it from the upfronts they're, not going to do it and I'm like oh what happened? They go. It's just not one hundred percent there. They go, watch the tape and see if you want to join. I was like oh shit, so I look at it. It's Steve, Levitt, Anheuser right. It's great act is George Seagle. Wendy Malik Wendy Malik is something incredible. Yeah cannot do it wrong, move and Enrico and Lauren like this looks like a great cast. It's a funny idea. What would I be like at a sister or something so they go yeah. We do this, so I met with love it and we talked a few times and I go up. Yeah, let's do it, and so it was a little surprising to take the fifth lead. Irish

so that already had a ding against 'cause. I got yanked from up front, but I go I'm coming from the hardest place in the world. These people are great actors, but I'm sort of like a comedian actor, which I'm not saying it's better or worse, it's just. I could stand out a little bit, 'cause they're, all not exactly my age and doing the same thing like NSA Alright, you know saying those guys are like world same and I go. These guys are just seasoned great comedic actors and I can be a little goofier and stupider and I go. I think I could. I think this will work and and listen to carry the show and I fuckign can memorize my lines 'cause it's hard to memorize. Sure, so they write they rewrite it and see only give me one line in the file. The truth was he wanted to reach you the pilot and they weren't letting him, and then they said, if you add spayed, you can reshoot it. I have to say I love Steve because we're still buddies, but at the beginning

he was resistant, but he took me to reshoot it an. I think that was the reason I think he likes me, but I don't think he thought the show needed me right, man 'cause, it's his show, so he's the one guy, I'm sure going. I think it's fine but NBC, saying at it and Brad saying at it. So we add me and then I say I don't want to do it. If I any goes work you in more. The third or fourth show- and I said my fans will bail like if C, o he's really not on the show like they give you they'll tunein. You know once or twice so it was tough there for a second, like I didn't know what to do, and then we added a like a little chunk where I meet some models and I'm trying to evaluate them, and it's just all the stupid, but at least gave me a little foothold to say I'm in the showing part of these five and we're all going to do something in it. And then it worked right away like it got on good time slot

and it was I think over the years it turned into a show that was respect. I loved it, and but it wasn't like a number it was done and once it was one summer it was not one one week in reruns. Second count that counts to me, and I don't give a because, but when you think about it, it's your forget, Seinfeld Friends, Frasier will and grace like there's, so many good shows er Give me no more. Those are all NBC shows what a different time it is now what a different time it is now a good show, but I don't think we were like in the conversation is the best show, because in another era we might have it. But when those are the best shows like in there and get to us, it was such a smart. It was, I mean it's such a smart move to not run out and try to build a show just around you, the,

because you just like exactly like you said the only smart thing I did you can sort of blend in and if the show doesn't work, no one's going to go. All that was space father. Then you get your own show you go well, we can try. We like him, yeah yeah. It was such a 'cause, then overtime. You really kind of really were part of the show right and then they make it even and then you know your valuable fifth of the show and then everyone gets their stuff and then, after that jumped on eight simple rules just more to work. That was the John Ritter one right. They came to me and said you want to do it as a I. Don't would never want to place. John Ritter, one of my own heroes, growing up like that's sort of what I wanted to do. Sitcoms John Ritter and Cheese company and all so. They said well. We need someone, I would never play his part, may be an uncle or something so we talked about that and then James Garner. They were talking about, though he's so much more respect for me. Let him go in first and take the hits

The do you think you're going to replace John Ritter. Do you think it's right right, but you can't talk back to James Garner, he's too good right now, so he did that and he got all the articles and he handles it gracefully and then two and then they can't do the artist same article again. You know they're like this mother fucker. I see what he's doing, but they came to me. I didn't call them and they said they got calls from people going hey. Can my guy come in and be John Ritter next week and they asked me- and I said that I don't know if it's not if it's tasteless whatever, but the way we did it. I was just an uncle, so they just want to keep the show going did that for two years and we almost got picked up if we got picked up that last year, I would have ok. Because that was going to be a full syndicated show oh yeah, it still is, but we had eighty eight or we had eighty five or something so just was it yeah one more. It would have been my Yankee Doodle

pageant winner. I always found it interesting with Hollywood minute that I mean this is probably in time before social media, but I had heard that 'cause I, when you first start out doing comedy or just used to people, not really giving a shit about what you feel like you, don't really affect anything and then so then you start making fun of people and it's really connecting. But then all the sudden, you become famous and now you're kind of around these people in front of it now. Do you all the sudden feel more accountable? I think that sometimes with Amy Schumer now, because you know there's always someone getting famous like Tina anywhere they're great comedians and then they're hanging with the people and you're. Like do you still hit on everyone like, I was talking with the Kardashians, which is favorite thing to talk about

on Conan or Jimmy Fallon tonight, and I'm like, of course, just fuckin' shiting on him to be funny 'cause, it's so tied up but year at the same place. You always see these people forget the Kardashians. Like you see the legit celebrity stars and you don't know what to do. But Chris Rock I mean he's gonna on the Oscars and rip on everyone Joan Rivers always did it yeah Ricky, Jr Vase. I mean there's the Kathy Griffin Way in and there's like Chris Rock Chris Rock gets away with it, because, maybe so good or something like they, you know see Jennifer Lopez I going fuck you to Chris Rock. You know he's he's sort of in this higher echelon of comics and respect where they like him and no ones going out there. You say that they have to sort of eat it. There's other comics, where they'd safe, a cutey right, so I'm somewhere in the middle, where some people know that that's what I do, but I don't do it exactly anymore like when I offended you early and said stand up which it was because people forget that even I do like

it's a fair question. If you don't know it doesn't matter, if you don't notice, bother me at all. I never expected her to stand up and I forget I did gigs of them, but I go. We didn't get 'cause. I wasn't sure last time he goes remember that gig we did in DC. As I oh yeah, I'm like fucking chance to that's right. You do stand up, but people when I go on the road. They don't really mean. I want to shoot. Me then rose engagement and then you know movie grown ups. They don't really quite that the stand. So people come to see me and that's why I can be that dirty because it's a tv crowd. You know people know me from AG thirteen stuff right. I can do a procedure. I got a good. I've tried it. What the is this guy talking about. They would really like the real back and I got a yeah all right. Yeah, I'm not going away unlike dice some but Cameron, this chick you, you do Vegas of him

at times the new Vegas I stood at the Mirage, I do with Ray Romano lately he's great great Rogers Greats fine Ray raise another one that I mean I don't know. If a lot of people forget is a stand, was a really good stand. Is an exceptional senate and a great very cash? The other is killing I'm like God. Dam he's got some good, jokes, yeah and they're just an also it's because I think he was. Why here in the same young comedian, specialist you there was already on that. There was one. There was a young comedian special, I think, Carvey hosted it and it was Ray the the the line up was Ray Romano, Andy Kim there Jeanine and Judd Apatow. One, oh and I think, maybe Bill Bellamy. The town was on one yeah, but I was in one of those cities stand for sure, but he's been, doing it again, but yeah, but his even at that time he was like thirty four. We needed the young comedian before you know after bells. What about,

however, the great one that was the night Gayle young comedian Special hosted by Dangerfield, which is huge already Kenison, Sagit, Rita Rudner, the Steven right now, Steven Wright was I'll bet. You know he went Louie Anderson and then a couple other Bob Nelson member Bob Nelson yeah. He was sort of predicted as the big one. Well, you could tell that he was a guy that fucking a lot wherever wherever went right to the body shop and the balloons up in the thing you know: seventy two, oh twenty, seven like you yeah, and he would do this thing where he would blow bubbles and pretend to be a goldfish and like eat the bubbles, and it was just like the silliest he was. Definitely I think they looked at Bob Nelson's, like you're the next Robin Williams right. We got all these other guys, but you will be the one blowing and Kenison Ann

and everyone did well after that, everyone went on to become almost everybody was shocking. That, with the heat of Kenison, I mean that's all I remember, but all those people are famous reader runners, a great joke writer yeah. I worked with her in Vegas, but she still hasn't shown to have everybody. Do great yeah, almost impossible. Kenison was definitely, I think, maybe if KEN and hadn't been on that special. Maybe Bob Nelson would have been the guy that yeah yeah yeah Tennyson was just so he was such a differential force. God damn and I don't know where we're v like who's this guy in the for. Even though he's not even on him, it's all the folks on who's, this problem, Nelson Guy and then you go wait a second. This guys great. I got that open for Kenison once and in uh. It's not the book, this story, because it's good now now there's good stories, and I'm saying I don't know people believe me. When I'm saying I went, I was at Finney Bon.

They all have funny names. All company gloves got busters, it should be like which one of these is not a comedy club. Yuk Yuks is Canada. Yak Yak got busters side splitters all real. I was at a it was called Finney Vons 'cause Michael Finney was a comedian who might have worked with comedy magician anyway, so I wanted Keniston was there, so I asked if I could MC, which was even opening right. Umc Eden brought up an opener and had to stay there all night, but after the show I gave Kenison and Robert Townsend, oh yeah. Of course both could they be both in the same show? Maybe towns is meddling so before he blew up so I drive in my seventy two volt two alpha beta to get Kenneth in a case of Heineken and then we drove to the condo comedy condo and then we'll come covered.

And he had a big, zip, lock full of blow la and it was a solid Gackt attack and he whipped it out and Robert Townsend said: can you We hope he didn't like it. So I drove him home, I'm like oh sure, Pussey, so and then, of course, I came right back 'cause. I wanted to dive into it and he goes where you want some of this and I go no and he goes ok. You could stay all night, I'm like. Why did I say no, but I think he thought Bogart I go. I don't think we can go through this kilo to fine right behind. You know I don't like frosty. The snowman are like a you're like a goldfish like a sprinkle sprinkle. Allow me I'll stay up and talk, so I'm I was like I'll hamstrung, so I didn't do any, which sucked actually thought about pinching. It

there was so much as like what if I just took like a gram, what was what was he like? is celebrating the Wednesday second Show big deal. Is there what a great night and I'm like yeah? We should celebrate so that he was just having a great time, and I didn't really have any relationship with him. I'm just sort of trying to brag that I met him, but I met him and it was so exciting as a comic and being you know, any town, your in other than la you, fucking freak. If you saw someone you like and being a comedy guy Steven Wright came in, I couldn't believe it. I saw him he's great and you can't live like right there. I was at the comedy store last night and you know people are going on. It was really good and I thought these people

All headliners in a row is a great dl when you just if you like common you're, suddenly like a guy Sebastian unit, yeah kills so good I was like was got a friend in me and that guy, when I went on to bash one on Isola, Slazenger allies are so I just wasn't it great. So I go look at this even me I was watching on. This is fun to watch great comedy just boom boom boom. Now yeah, the company stores had a real resurgence as good, as I only thought I think of can is, unlike I think, I've seen people in person, and I know he was always there and Steve right, but when I got to LA and I try to get in there like all these guys in the same place can with that, I am proud. Landau Seinfeld was on that we'll chalk board. In one night I was shocked. Well, there were there's only a couple of you know. Getting York there's like thirty comments, game in town, it's like improv, comedy

yeah, no laugh factory right back then not back. Then I don't think. I think the laugh at Laugh factory started in the 80s. Didn't it. I don't know when the laugh factory started, but it's been around as long as I can remember. I've been in LA since eighty eight and I feel like it. Oh that's right around. When I came in there was a Westwood concentrated in yeah, there's what's comedy store in Santa Monica Improv and there was a big beast Rigby's on the westside side, loving these degrees now Strip Club is that it's plan b, yeah yeah are, they could save And is there the branch is just serial it's, but Dana Carvey Additional broken out there, and I never got to the West comma

two young I mean like I had no can actually know where it was only open for like six months. Is that true? Is that what it was yeah they opened it in the basement of. I was in college at the time and they open the Westwood comedy store downstairs. There was a bar upstairs yeah. It now is. I think it's I think the place called Maloney's now at least it was last time is over, but there was, there was a sound. There was a downstairs, and so they open the comedy store. But I remember so: Westwood is built around UCLA, yeah and so Westwood thrives because of UCLA so that I've I've seen remember they open the comedy store like in May,

when everyone can school and so for the summer, Westwood was dead yeah. So no one was going to the basement of this bar there. No one went and even knew about, and so I think it I think it lasted for a handful of months there. You know covert, Allen, covert sailors producer. He he was the the manager of the Improv Anna, the Santa Monica yeah. That was a great one. I remember I idea I went on there. They did a lot of they recorded a lot of those evening at the improv, as were at the Santa Monica Improv. I saw one and they were of bugs Bunny jeans on and it was a casual bugs bunny. If that's not like SAM. I again up, it was my friend

his pants. There were so many red flags go in the bathroom and trade trade pants sort of I mean. I know those are cool, why I thought they were cool, I don't know they were not cool and then he goes. You can wear wear my big dave. You won't even get him problem and it was jeans with a iron on bugs Bunny right here in the thigh and no one me this, because I have a dad, I'm telling you I like all the guys that, because my dad was in there and smoke a cigarette of the king of get that off, because I didn't you know it's all mom and my dad left us for. So it's just that's the way I I had she give me a present. This is to about of eight of all of our class pictures for us as kids yeah and my brother got his full class picture on a pillow which it is for kids to her. My mom's ideally- and she thinks it's a great idea he's a great if you can throw in the closet and then my brother got a coffee mug with his class picture. I got a t shirt with mine iron on here

and it said Dave case you forgot this guy was so my brothers are sort of horrified. You know when I was like this might be fun because I didn't know I did my dad there to go. What are you giving him that shift voice? but she goes right where it is cool like that might be fun, and so I did and I write when I left the house. Male chromosome, whatever is left in my head- goes maybe through a shirt over it, like maybe through a flannel in case it's not the coolest fucking thing in the world right. So I put this like flannel button down, but it's under it. So I go to kick ball and I'm leaning there before school starts and like checking out the ladies catching up on the latest gossip headlines and his like fifth grade and then I I go. Oh might be a good time to unveil my super cool shirt, I'm proud of, and then I go. I open one button

no problem. I start to pull it down. You just see a little bit of my feathered hair. Like one of my tooth. It's super sideways and someone goes queer and I got hot and go oh it should be seven. Should I go now and then it started off. Hating me bad idea, abort the mission of- and I was like. I ran back to my homeroom and over my desk the whole school game and it was like with torches, going show us the shirt. It's not it's not even is they can't even iron fiction? It's it's so crazy, like that's all they can do to t shirts, so the whole school turned. I mean it took a year to pull out Oh my god, I my own picture, I didn't know. I hello, dad gills, because I have so many of the same stories and that was the only

I was only lucky enough that we would move every so often so there'd be a reset button and it's good. And I would screw it up again, yeah no dad or was what was it the wind wasn't. No, I mean my dad was in the picture of my parents were divorced, and yet I well, I was also primarily raised by my mom and very free kid, and I just was in the stuff that the other kids weren't into and it just never. I did not relate well to other kids. Would you do you talk? Did you ever have a relationship with your dad yeah yeah? I mean we sound like once a year. Give me another football for Chris Seismic here again. Oh it's two colors, oh my god, you spoil me as he would. He would never give his child support, nothing, no alimony, and then he just popped by always told me at a silver poor. She goes I'm buying a silver Porsche. So I tell everyone at school. My dad is so bored tragic.

Start crying and then he never had it, and then he had a dune buggy once in, like I thought was cool but mom is like this is why I get rid of this guy he's gotta get it. He drives a dune buggy he's. Forty eight to understand Did he would pick us up? We'd be yeah, hey we like mom, you you're, so boring dads of bass is on the dune. Buggy she's like a it's, a real prince, but he's also boning every check in town. You know he he left just is high and dry just walked out one day. Now man, then, when I started getting

my brother started Kate, Spade he started going on to bars like he come to comedy clubs with me, like really surfacing so sort of local guy. Like me, get a few drinks out of it and then with the girls. He talked about Kate spade you know, you need a purse, I think Gary, and so he had every angle covered and then he I wanted my dad around. So I moved in with him in a little one bedroom dump and then and then he was so weird. You know we're like buddies 'cause. He was around so and he wasn't a great daddy. They can. I borrow some cash. I'm like, are you? Don't you want me one hundred grand in files but gotta buy his tricky gotta get some pinstripes on the buggy yeah. I guess he forgot the sheepskin. If I had my wallet with me, you would see that it is a jack spade. Oh yeah Jack Spade. That's my brother yeah. I know, but there's no we've never talked about this, but I'm a big fan of handy Andy and Katie did Kate spade in them and he was starting.

Mens line and he goes. I don't want to call Andy Spade. 'cause Katie gets so much shit for being Kate Spade so he called it jacks. That's what he was going to name his kid. If it was a boy and it was a girl, she goes I'll call the company jack. Spade and then, when they bought up Kate Spade they sold it, but he wanted to keep Jack space. That was fun is more manageable. It wasn't so huge, you know, but he didn't, and now we started Sleepy Jones, that's store for pajamas in night time stuff, and he and I are doing that and he's doing. I think he and Katie are starting another company. Finally, that's awesome. Yeah after Kate Spade blew up mean they just got lucky. I think they said it was too hard for too people. Mayors are, we worked in a clothing store and he ran the men's side and Katie ran the one: that's how they met. They got longer and they're, both very smart in that world

I'm not obviously, and he says I just like I'm from Hollywood, which is like the quietest burn that doesn't know anything with the word Hollywood attached to it is never positive side. Mongo, don't get all Hollywood on mango. I know it's a burned. I can't quite nail what it means, but I am Sally would so it doesn't matter but ADDIE so anyway, so they did that and then it just got. They started that it got too big. You know just two people and these dealing with like union bosses going and we're going to break your fucking legs like can we sell this phone thing and move on is making purses yeah we're making purses guys it was like dream, come true and, too good and then suddenly have two hundred employees and fifteen stores take it over. Someone takes it. You know whenever I would see you at a party in the old days When I still used to go out and drink yeah, you are fond. You hit a wall. What I can say you have basic

and still have fun. Slave. It's embarrassing! No! It's not! Basana shared yeah. Look at me award at CMU id, we think you're too, to be here. Oh I've never been carted, for that always seems so comfortable. It's in public situations that you always seem like you know just be kind of. There hanging out and everyone would always kind of swarm around you and just be like a ton of gorgeous people being around you nice. I yeah actually yammer too much but seems like he doesn't really give a shit. He could take this or leave this. It doesn't really say yes, it and when you seem like you, don't give a shit, but you have to really not give it. You can't pretend to not give a shit 'cause people can sniff that out. It really seems like you just didn't hear like sort of give a shit. Obviously, but I do have sometimes my act is too casual. Is my active in my real life, I'm obviously barely like afucking blip.

Maybe that's Arizona. My bp is like one over six as, like, my friends are like. Are you even alive 'cause? I have such low enerji, but I always say I'm pacing it out and they go. What's the big finale your boring at night to a waiting, but in my act them like, I, I Todd Phillips the as, I think be a direct shot, the other day your somewhere. It was something like you somewhere between, I can't be bothered and that it was some bullshit about might describe MAC perfectly. As I yeah we did a big show. You know we did show the ending with Norm: Macdonald Schwarzen, Schneider and Sandler. We had we did. I I didn't. I the Conlee store to sneak out of mine because he wants to practice Cyber automated the comedy magic club, which is a great place, Hermosa Beach, and he does all this to couple minutes before you. We just did this movie called a do over in the summer and he kept going. I want to stand up again. I understand again so just come when I'm doing a gig and just sneak on for me

can split my time or do whatever again. I don't want to go that long, so he goes not just to file under ten, so he comes on. He does about twenty five at comedy. Magic does great. Is it arias a guy playing a piano, writes all these new songs does some stand up and then we do comedy store those guys go on. That was really fun 'cause, like sort of SNL, no sort of like whatever, and then each kill to get it about thirty, some we booked at the in San Diego two weeks ago, and we it was great as we the Hanukkah song. It is released nice, so we all did about twenty five and then I think he did an hour at the end. It is pretty fun, so we might go on the road from my code to doing great, that's fantastic, be really funny. I mean when you get really when people know who you are. If you like, the expectation, if you just turn up, is like oh well in this guy's famous, he better be extra funny. Yeah I mean that was fun. I mean the sandy

one of the ones me warn. It was Adam, but there I have the fans for me are really nice and I already TED Sorensen Man this show and Schneider. So they knew what they're getting it sort of the same pool of people that would Like all of us, you know or not like obviously don't come so they would like Adam 'cause. It's always the same. It's the same demo or whatever and then the San Diego one was three thousand cedar, so it was really fun because it was more like concert. He, like you, see, there's a like kings of comedy. Those weird was like. I was going crazy. It was more like that, like they were crazy and it's so much different in a club, because you have to even play a little differently because. They're, either really noisy or they're like laughing long, and it goes to the back of the room. We gotta wait. A second 'cause you don't want to step on your own stuff and Sandler is killing so hard 'cause. He had new songs, but then he did Hanukkah song at the end, which I'm like buddy. If you ever worried about closing any

how long you've done in the past even lay a medium pace or any of those old ones, his old albums, an you can always get off. There is no problem. He was nervous. We like wrote a lot of stuff that something has come up a lot on. The podcasts, which I was talking about well bring up like movies, like there's some movies that you shouldn't watch again come from when you were younger 'cause, they don't always hold up, that's true, but when people go when yeah, but you know: there's someone who's really hold up like Tommy Boyce still totally holds up like it's been mentioned a couple of times on the fun to say it's still. I do have to say that I got really lucky to be in on because I don't think ever main cast and if you know I wasn't big enough to get a lead in a movie, but Lorne saying write a movie for David and Chris and and because I like how they are on the office, that's where Lauren was really smart. I mean he

how to deal with Paramount Anita Wayne's world, and he goes do one with these guys and it turned into you know. Like a movie about brake pads, I mean we could even pitch that two guys are in Ohio, so I can break that. One guy

I have heard of Farley there. You probably have not heard of it and yeah we'll take thirty nine out we backed into it. You know back in a green light. It was already green light movie. They decide yeah, do it next summer, so they worked on a road and then we wrote on the fly, we're shooting it, just no pressure making up jokes and I'm glad I really really glad to be a part of something like that like when I was a kid there's Caddy shack in his movies. I really like. So when kids or even adults say that falls into like one, they really liked it's great. Did you guys click right away when you first met yeah, yeah, yeah yeah? For sure I talk when they're the first of a madams? I never I didn't know my decides photo and so now like he was getting hired or they were looking to see him, and then I heard they hired him and he had the most hype about me. Chris Rock came on to and he had a different hive is Eddie, Murphy's buddy and he's great he's a new Eddie Murphy and then.

Chris, was more he's. Just hilarious. Big guide is always great characters and stuff lot of energy. I didn't really know what to expect. I didn't it didn't sound that exciting to me to be honest, met on the first day in the hotel. First, they work. It is like. Oh yeah he's never sent around it's Gallagher, tent, awning, somewhere else, we're in a convention. Here I get twenty bucks love them. I expense again I'd like to buy when you're pretty little and my name's bait he's a he's in charge. Your corporate, where, with the regional sales growth,

you're crazy, but they're going to meet us here. In about forty five, you could stick around, he just say: bullshittin girls, they just stared and they have no idea. What's going on, I went there whiskey over there New York, that's his rap, but he would just say, stupid stuff so immediately. Nice guy, like wasn't like a cut throat guy like with the fuck, are you on the show, and so we walked over to the show and he was nervous. I was nervous we just like that's when it felt Newark as you like. Ok, he, starting with me like we're both new first day school, yeah and then Adam came a little later that year, but Chris Rock was there. I talk to him right away. Just say heard he was good, we got along and we all the new guys. So that's when you get your little group and then I knew

in a little bit I knew Kevin a little bit Ann Myers, I did not know but they're all definitely very cool, but didn't have time to baby you. You know I mean I would imagine one of those jobs like if you get on the show. You obviously need to be good enough to be on the show and you have to figure it out. If you don't figure it out, then you don't belong. I don't know if I was on that need to be good enough part, because I think it was over and I was like a high school guy that goes to the pros you know it's like, but I wasn't. Lebron was a good high school basketball player that went to the frozen like you have to be Lebron to fit right. Oh shoot, I'm pretty good, but I wasn't fucking Middle ACT, guys like I'm, really know, but there was something about your voice on the show. That kind of you know the 90s. What happened in what I feel like happened in the 90s of comedy was sort of like comedy, became snarkier and more self with more pop culture. Self aware than it had been navy, or is there for that because and that's where I think that

voice that voice that you had. I think kinda help define that era. I will say the Hollywood minute was. I mean it was a huge sketch in there, but it was sort of the time when it was people may using a known, was being mean to celebrities and no one would like it was all weather like. Isn't it great this person so great? Now that he's a fucking idiot now I quite watt so to come in with that to be an unknown and be like who are these assholes in this case? Stop doing movies he's annoying yeah, it's like well. I was just saying that the other day, your friends, but now this is like some guy and he was I'm almost a rig Zack of the same time that Ben Stiller started doing. Basically those reflexive about the entertainment industry sketches on the Ben Stiller Show that were make it was. It was the same it was that was up. There was a movement happening, yeah rolling stone did give me starting the seventies called they want their combat whatever that thing was yeah. These two hollywood-

I don't know if that's true, but I know, was around that people still do. The exam is called a laying called every yeah. This should be texting so in Snapchat aid, the seventies snapchat, and here they are the same in the seventies, just D m: do you the seventy Snapchat a going to be gone in twenty four hours? It's only ten seconds longer dick! Oh they did. I want to see it. You can't see the tickets, all Bush yeah. I had a big push going, just FY, I I mean: did you uh with Farley? What was your kind of day to day relationship where you did you guys to hang

so a lot of friends over yeah yeah? That was the fun of it. I mean. Sometimes I get scared. I talk about Farley a lot and I think lately 'cause the book and he's in it, and it's about my life that I do but there's times when I was a lot of people on the street asking about him and it's sort of a double edged sort of sure you they are so happy to talk about it and they're so excited that 'cause. I remember Dan Aykroyd was very gracious to talk about blue. She gives me an Farley, would ask him about pollution and when he come by SNL, and I never even thought for a SEC, I'm a selfish fucking asshole that maybe just want to talk about this friendly died of an overdose right, it's hard for him, but he was so nice about it. So I thought you know. I have no Dave Grohl, I'm sure

rocker Cobain, absolutely just people that are interested in the guys, not here anymore, so they want to ask, but part of Maine gets as a little weird about it, because you also do other stuff- and you don't want to be this guy, like out there dining out on stories. But it is the book and it is time- and it's very personal to my personal, so I don't mind in real life, 'cause, no ones being malicious. No one saying bad about it. You know they all are positive. So I'd like to hear that, so I will talk to people about, or they just say on Instagram nice things about him. You know which is always good to hear, but yeah yeah. He was a good day today. Buddy was good. Well, I'm sure they're all track. I digging around for no gets too yeah, I know, and then I because I'm sure some people probably want to. I mean there's so many different ways that people I can see coming at it like we could you want to talk about it to do you want to talk about this or do you want to talk about this and it's like yeah? Can I just not I mean? Did you or some people try to dig deep? They just they see on the street online. I'm not talking to you about this.

Of all mall creative, deep questions get back in the cheesecake factory. Tmz yeah get back in there so is it really just sort of depend on them that just sort of depend on where you're at the time is whether not you're gonna be now most people just go love far later for all these great. Are they like talking boy or something like that? Which is all, Take it all day, I'll never be one of those people that get sick of that ship, because you know people like they say, bye, bye. Instead of a biosketch. Meanwhile that was my whole goal of life in SNL. It gets something. People say be one of the sketches that catches on in by sort of burger king when he leaves his bob. I am I so that was something people already said, yeah honest, but to highlight it in a sketch, and then people connect you with. It is nice, so people say

I don't care, I think it's nice, but you put a lot it's it's. So a lot of the book of people want to hear about it, but it almost kind of like a there's, a dirty Chris story there that they they want me to add it. I never told so there's stuff in there I mean I didn't want to do too much about that. But when I talk about all of SNL every year as I go each year, what happened? How I got on what sketches they did? Who I thought was cool when Sinead O'Connor ripped up the pics of twelve, I was standing. You know stuff like that, is some stop when would be less interesting to people like growing up crazy step. Dad, you know, went nuts all those things, but that's more people like that less about us now right and then more people,

others of it. I would lose my virginity added too much coke in college once at a hospital stuff like that, it's just sort of whatever funny stories and then there's stuff. You sorry. I do a whole chapter on Tommy Boy, just because I get asked by law. Well, I I also think people forget you know I. I think it is kind of a weird thing to do today. I assume it's a very weird thing to deal with death and fame at the same time, because people, do forget that you're a human being, and they forget that Chris was a human being, and so they see very one dimensional representation. I go. Oh my god was that

you know- and I think they just they they because of how you are presented to them on a two dimensional screen. They forget this is a person who had a life in these are people in humans and- and so I, I think, a lot of people don't ever really think about that. No part of it did you did you have to just go away for months to get away from? It was always hard to be, of course, the beginning, but it was it got better with time and his brothers are friends with, but they won really looks like Kris reminds him, so it took about two years to start hang out with them again, because my hey, you know, families have mannerisms, they share right, and I do that all my God, let's just it's just like him so weird, but overall it just got easier over time- sure make it a. I could talk about with Adam in those guys and we do those gave the other nine Adam was. I wouldn't Farley of last year nine- and I was like she cried because yeah you forget there's another guy was there with the day doing very well and how weird

funny, whatever that whole show we're all backstage, is a huge crowd, we're all together again. So it's it's definitely a common subject I hear about, but I I don't mind it. I don't mind at all a do you know for sure. If you guys are going to do more roads, I don't know we're talking about Adam says he wants to and if we sink everybody movie. We did isn't out on Netflix till summer. He might do one in between, but it just sounds like so much fun like why not we should have done it with grown ups. You know we had five comedians in that we should all just go on the road. When are you going to be up next live you just drop into the comedy store again I'll do a night there. I think the 17th I'll do a night cool and in December and then and then yeah. I just do my stand up and stupid shit all over. Well, the book is called almost interesting yeah. The memoir David spade it's funny. The audio book is doing better than the hard copy and I asked

it's fun to listen because you're reading it yes and I go is not good, but they go doesn't count. When you count books, it doesn't count towards bestseller list, that's ridiculous kind of like streaming and buying albums versus You know, let's think, really stupid if they're buying the. If they're buying the story. That's I thought I go. Oh my god 'cause. I would almost recommend that 'cause I read thing is like I guess you know I'm reading. Well, that's the best part, because it sounds like you're sitting that, like that's, why born standing up as the best hearing Steve Martin read that someone told me that, because he is because, especially when he starts getting in to we talk about stand up any talks, he starts talking a bit. He starts doing yeah. I live in your life 'cause. You know that he does well now. Yes, I know, yeah, of course, of course yeah? I should listen that one, because, but this one, when I did it, I was cracking up, sometimes sounding so stupid, like gagging, making noises and trying to do the voice of it. Like the guy that attacked me, I tell that

beam me up. I got broke into my house, you know oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah. Tell that what I'm writing them. So it sounds like a fucking horror story telling it I'm getting scared and I'm like. I don't want to talk about this ship, but I do aside jokes and stuff. So audio is not bad either. I don't know what I'm saying alright I'll go. We come back here thanks for having main David Spade guys. I didn't know we started at the beginning. So have you set a lot of really upsetting? We also have faded jokes, as it twice twice enjoy your burrito Aurora now, leaving Nerdist dot com enjoy burrito
