All right, we've got a live wire here. Uh, >> this is one of our more memorable
00:00:05
podcasts. It was done in our home studio in Los Angeles, California, >> right here in this room. And
00:00:12
>> and the one and only Chvy Chase came. >> Yeah, Chvy Chase. Dana says he's going
00:00:17
to make fun of us. So, let's just know going in. He is. We've learned since
00:00:21
then he is. People know this. We knew cuz we we know him from SNL and a little bit off camera, but
00:00:27
>> he likes to say what you're not supposed to say. And >> he Yeah,
00:00:31
>> I respect that. >> And it's a little Don Ricklesy. He just >> He's a little older and he likes to just
00:00:37
say [ __ ] and he wants to make you laugh and he wants to be liked and some of it's very rough and uh if you know it's
00:00:44
coming, it's a little easier. and we cracked up >> and he's constantly holding his hands up
00:00:49
as if to portend some sort of something, you know. And we had a we have a bowl of or a plate of bottles of
00:00:59
water and then at some point he just does a full Chevy chase. He goes to reach for the water and all goes flying.
00:01:05
So he's operating at all cylinders. And yeah, we got used to the roasty part of
00:01:11
Chave Chase. And so toward the end, you'll you'll hear him say, "Well, I've
00:01:15
had a much bigger career than you guys." We both go, "Of course, of course." And
00:01:19
he really smiled. So he's roasting us the whole time, but after the podcast when the cameras weren't on or with the
00:01:25
mics, >> he said, "Hey, thanks for being so nice to me." And his wife was there and his
00:01:30
daughter and he just had had that health issue with his heart. So yeah, there was
00:01:35
we saw >> very happy that we didn't like attack him or go back, you know, we just took a
00:01:41
few hits and then we just were laughing and >> never get defensive cuz yeah, he's you

00:21:24
brighter. >> What? Yeah. >> Well, you know, it was it was a hit, but
00:21:29

Landis. He was like frustrated with the cut >> and he always refers to comedians as the
00:23:16
monkeys. It's great to shoot all the towns people but you should really spend
00:23:19
some time on the monkeys and that was you three. But that's he says that to all of us.
00:23:24
>> Oh, we're the monkeys. >> Here's something that Lauren said. said
00:23:28

big issues and making them you about funny people and there's funny people and he he says there's only 900 of us on
00:23:39
the planet >> and it was like a perfect I know it was such a funny specific number that I kind
00:23:45
of went is figure did he figure it out? Uh there's three in Portugal. Uh there's
00:23:51
seven in less in Russia. Uh, Ukraine has maybe a mime. No, because the president
00:23:58
is is a monkey. >> That's right. >> Oh, you mean a comedian, right? Okay.

00:30:26
>> Just balance it. That's not a bad idea. >> Once but >> now you're moving.
00:30:30
>> Well, that's what Jerry Seinfeld said said to Lauren. He goes I had hair when
00:30:34
I needed it like during the sitcom and then he lost it all not lost it basically at 50 but as soon when he was
00:30:40
on the sitcom I had it when he needed it. when you were you had you had it when you needed it.
00:30:44
>> I got it. I got it. But uh what's he doing now? Cherry Santel >> counting his money.
00:30:50
>> No, he likes to do standup. He He's He worked on a pop-tart bit for 5 years and
00:30:57
now he's making an animated. I'm not kidding. >> I I believe >> he is the most scientific. Uh and uh if
00:31:04
he if you're around him and he hasn't done his hour alone in a room with his
00:31:08
comedy notes, he starts getting anxious. Really? >> I've got to get to my notes.
00:31:12
>> I hope he's not listening. >> It took him a while to crack this.
00:31:17
>> He's one of the best. He >> cracked the code. I'm sure now he's one
00:31:20
of the best. >> No, Jerry's one of the best. I saw him two weeks ago. We were at the improv and
00:31:26
uh he came in did a set great wall to wall. He goes, "I'm trying new stuff and
00:31:30
didn't seem new. It was so good." He's he knows. >> Yeah. Well said.
00:31:34
>> Yeah. Chvy, we can take Don't worry, my parts will be cut out later.

>> No, I think people wrote that. >> Mhm. >> Um, let me just think of who wrote it
00:31:57
>> and then people like me read it. >> Truman Capot. >> [ __ ] I can't remember.
00:32:01
>> It was Capot. It would, >> oh, NBC executives referred to you as the the first potential successor, but
00:32:08
it seems like you were doing so many movies, you wouldn't want to do that. Like, of course, but that was a huge
00:32:12
compliment to say you'd be the best to take over, >> I guess. So, who said it?
00:32:18
>> I'm just making [ __ ] up. >> Thank you. Thank you very much. You are
00:32:22
correct. >> Can you do Ed, too? >> Uh, no. >> No. Not really. Phil Hartman, R. Dan
00:32:29
Akroyd did the best. He did. He did a good ad. >> He did a great ad. And every time he
00:32:34
spoke, it was funny. >> And Johnny just set him up, you know. >> Oh god.
00:32:38
>> And because Johnny's references were not very current. Reminds me of the old uh

00:35:05
don't know if I want to take Chvy from moving. >> Do do I Okay, I'll say as fast as I can.
00:35:10
I was >> I read from moving, by the way. >> No, I Yeah, before that I was a waiter
00:35:14
at the Holiday Inn and I waited on Richard Prior. Yeah. >> Because he was playing this theater and
00:35:19
I brought him a Denver omelette and when I took it away I was very nervous. He looked at me and said, "Whoever made
00:35:24
that omelette can suck my dick." And I never knew if that was a positive or a
00:35:30
negative. You know, it could have gone either way. 10 years later, I'm in a movie with Richard moving and I had to
00:35:37
know. So, at lunchtime, I'm sitting next to Richard. I took a bite of a cheeseburger and I said, "Whoever made
00:35:42
this cheeseburger can suck my dick." And he goes, "You must like that cheeseburger."
00:35:47
>> Oh, boy. >> That's That was the Richard Prior bit. >> I like it. Yeah, there's a little math
00:35:52
to it. >> I mean, I'm sorry, but you should work on the voice for Richard.
00:35:56
>> Well, I I haven't done it in a while. I It's a substitute voice for now. Hi, I'm
00:36:01
Richard Prow. >> I remember Richard doing the show, hosting first time. >> Mhm. It's
00:36:06
>> like the second host, I think. Maybe second show. >> Yeah. >> Mhm.
00:36:11
>> Thank you. Anyway, um >> applause for accurate facts. I uh >> well,
00:36:18
>> what did you think when you first saw >> Wait, I'm I'm trying to remember why I
00:36:22
started that. >> Now, a little pain in my heart. >> That's all right.
00:36:28
>> It's okay. >> He's oxygen. >> No, >> waiting.
00:36:35
>> Richard and the and Jamie, please. >> Okay. Do you have it? Are you remember?
00:36:40
Okay. Yeah. Just to I should have told you guys this ahead of time. February last year, Chevy had a heart failure.
00:36:48
>> Cool. >> And was on um >> Cool. Well, I'm just I'm channeling you
00:36:52
now. I never noticed. >> Basically, the he was rather out of it for a while. And
00:36:58
>> so he lost some some memories. They're kind of coming back, but you know,
00:37:04
things like when you ask >> Why don't you share this with them >> in the in the radio world?
00:37:09
>> I It seems like your memory is pretty pretty come back at this point to me.
00:37:13
Yeah. Oh, yeah. And better, but just so you know, >> I'm sorry about heart failure.
00:37:19
>> I'm here with David Spade and Dana Andrews. >> All right. Well, Dane Andrews, I was
00:37:23
named after him. >> Well, you were. >> Yeah. >> Oh, God. >> Oh, so Richard.
00:37:28
>> Yes. >> Um, >> see, >> he he's trying to He's trying
00:37:31
>> He got us back on track. Look at that. >> Yeah. He's trying to um uh compare white
00:37:38
people and black people, you know, like his stand up. And he he says, "You know,
00:37:42
white people get all like that if they see a snake. They get all frightened and they jump away.
00:37:48
>> Black people just go snake." >> It was great. >> Well, it's just his timing.
00:37:56
>> Snake. >> Yeah, he's the he's I love him. >> He's the best standup.
00:38:00
>> Yeah, >> I think his Long Beach special was just phenomenal. Anyway,
00:38:06
>> um David, any favorite? Uh, you're friends with Norm. You were friends with
00:38:10
Norm McDonald. >> Yeah, >> he's a good update guy. He was great,
00:38:14
right? >> Oh, he's just great. Yeah. >> Yeah, he does great. >> I thought he did it. Yeah. I didn't
00:38:19
think anybody else did it very well, but I thought he did brilliant. >> Yeah, he pushed it pretty far.
00:38:25
>> He just went right for the dirt. >> Yeah, he went for the jugular every
00:38:28
time, which >> No, there weren't any. It's like I did it because I was interested in politics.
00:38:34
I read the New York Times, you know. Not him. He just he just goes and just throws a like a dirty word in there or
00:38:41
something. It's >> Oh, this is very >> Yeah, he did a lot of that OJ stuff. You
00:38:48
have a classic Norm. >> Oh, >> it was always some turn by Norm, but he
00:38:53
probably was influenced by by you as far as being >> sure everybody >> dangerous or being edgy or
00:38:59
>> I don't think so. I don't know. Well, after you doing update, that's not the
00:39:03
one to beat, but it's like that's so good. you go, how do I do it where I
00:39:07
don't look I don't look so pale in comparison? >> Well, it was the first one, so people do
00:39:12
compare that. >> Yeah. >> And Yeah, but you know, really the best by far. Thank you.
00:39:18
>> Yeah. >> Was that our best question? >> I'll tell you I'll tell you the quick
00:39:23
joke I heard from Norm on >> Norm is always fun with >> this Norm joke where he goes, "My wife,
00:39:28
first of all, he's not married. My wife uh was in a coma and I I'm waiting in
00:39:32
the waiting room. The doctor's in a coma. This is Norm's fake wife. Yeah. He
00:39:36
goes, "I like your good audience in a coma." >> You did say coma, didn't you?
00:39:38
>> Yeah. So, the wife's in a coma. The doctor says, Norm goes, "Anything I can
00:39:43
do?" And he goes, "Well, we found an unorthodox way, some way to get her
00:39:48
awake. Uh, uh, oral sex might help." And he goes, "Oh, yeah." And he goes, "Well,
00:39:54
if you want to." And he goes, "Yeah, I'll do it." So, he goes in there and he
00:39:57
comes out. He goes, "Doc, it's been 5 minutes and she's choking."
00:40:06
That's norm. Yeah. I think he told that like Conan. Everyone's like, "Oh jeez, you know,
00:40:11
that guy >> Conan just uh >> Okay, nextan. >> Is that the redheaded guy?"
00:40:17
>> Yes. >> He's very He's very ginger and he's very tall.
00:40:20
>> You he Yeah, he is tall. You're right. >> Hi, Conan. How are you?
00:40:25
>> Oh, he's shorter than you. No, >> I have no say. >> I have no idea.
00:40:29
>> Look at Dana and I are fighting it out down here at 5. >> Sorry, my wife.
00:40:35

00:41:08
you know, >> and thoughts. Lots of I got a lot. I wrote every day, but I just couldn't
00:41:14
bring myself to writing a whole script. >> You probably punch up a lot on the set,
00:41:17
though, or add jokes. That's probably >> What did you say? I said you probably
00:41:21
punch up when you're on a >> when you're filming on Ask him if he punches up.
00:41:26
>> You probably improvise a lot, punch up stuff a lot. They probably give you the
00:41:29
script ahead of time like Fletch and you go, "Not that. I'll do this." That's
00:41:33
what I'm assuming. >> Okay, good. Good assumption. >> You might be a genius. I'm not the
00:41:38

00:42:09
into numbers. >> This guy was he was an actual state chess champion. >> Is that true?
00:42:14
>> I was, but the smartness has gone away. Uh, king to pawns, knight four, whatever
00:42:19
it is. >> What do the pawns do? >> Uh, the pawn. That's a great question.
00:42:24

00:42:44
through the thing. Bill Murray is in his gopher guy. He's got the funny mouth.
00:42:48
He's got the overtly >> You have a fool, don't you? >> Funny character, right?
00:42:52
>> You play it so Buster Keat, your face is so straight that you more than hold your
00:42:58
own in that scene. And I always go cuz I'm always out there dancing and mugging
00:43:02
and pushing. You just went nothing and created this incredible comedic dance with Bill Murray. Now you talk.
00:43:09
>> Go. >> Go. Chvy is wiping a tear. No, but did people mention that scene in
00:43:18
your style of silent film comedy when you want to do it? >> Well, we did wing the We did wing it, by
00:43:24
the way. It It was in Bill's caddy shack. >> Yeah. Oh, that one. Yeah. When we first
00:43:30
shot uh first shot it when we were ready to go, Bill had put on the wall there like eight pictures of naked women like
00:43:42
with their legs spread, you know, from Hustler or something. And you know, Lander said, "I don't no, I don't think
00:43:49
so." And so Bill just collected them all, just one underneath, you know, one
00:43:56
of, I don't know, a girl like this or something, maybe like this. Anyway, um
00:44:02
so uh we start going and we and he's just trying to get me the whole time to crack
00:44:10
me up and he goes, >> "You have a pool, don't you?" You know,
00:44:18
>> you know, >> um we have a pool and a pond. Pond would be good for you.
00:44:23
>> Yeah. >> And if you look at this film, he never cracks, right? In that one, he went
00:44:30

00:44:34
>> You'll see it. >> Were they were Were were that like kind of a a tracking shot? How how long would
00:44:39
they let you guys go before they'd yell cut? Did they just follow you? >> I don't know.
00:44:44
>> It seemed very spontaneous. Uh, I think the uh it couldn't have been just one
00:44:50
shot. They had to cover each other. So >> I It was cut. I don't >> But they're smart to keep that because
00:44:55
that's probably maybe on a wide shot or maybe your side and then they just go
00:44:58
that we got to keep that one in there. Yeah. >> Yeah. That's great. >> Wow.
