funny on and we got we ate Cajun afterwards we found a place in the Pocono Mountains or
00:11:53
something right yeah we we tipped back a few drove back no we went crazy in the car let's admit it on the way back Adam and I just got a case of the buckets and the car was full of beer and we started
00:12:07
drinking it and then you brought out cigars or somewhere so yeah cigars so we're drinking beer and having cigars
00:12:13

00:12:39
we went crazy so let's get to when Adam started stand up because you started before me but you were in New Hampshire
00:12:45
I did start before you uh uh I think no no maybe it's about the same time I started I was like 18 and a half and then you what how old were you I was 17.
00:12:56
oh yeah when you started stand up where did you go I went on a senior year in high school my my brother told me uh and
00:13:03
my brother was going to Boston University and then he said remember I told you oh Somebody went to Boston University here no hey they're like
00:13:10
whatever you want Adam it's a good school congratulations but many ways my brother we were at dinner and he said uh hey I got you that
00:13:23
lottery ticket I told you remember you had to wait online and get a ticket to go on stage and I said oh yeah God you
00:13:29
got that and because he mentioned it a couple of months earlier and then I went uh he said it's tonight so I put on a
00:13:35
dress shirt I remember I had a nice dress shirt with stripes I folded I didn't know how to button this I was
00:13:42
never good at buttoning my own all right yes right yeah so I rolled it up like Spade right there yeah and then I
00:13:48
because I still don't know how to do it because I don't know has that happening still what you would think to wear the
00:13:53
first time because I wore I wore a uh a shirt and a tie the first time you went on really that's nice because I wanted to look also I wanted to look older I look very young and I had to go to a
00:14:03
real bar to do it and the age was 19 in Arizona so what was the bar uh there's one called Chuckles and then Anderson's Fitness Chuckles I know they all have goofy names Gut Busters was that in
00:14:16
Scottsdale the the Looney Bin yeah Chuckles was the first place I went on and uh it means stop your story so you
00:14:24
but where could you go on a bar when you're that young I went on at a place called stitches Comedy Club see stitches
00:14:30
stitches in Boston you're 17. 17. give a [ __ ] it's so funny they let anyone go on
00:14:36
yeah I didn't even know what to talk about I was driving down with my brother and he said did you write anything and I
00:14:42
said no no no I'll wing it your brother was like your manager yeah he 100 was just out going you got to do something with your life and so I we
00:14:53
there's nothing else you could do you really can handle nothing so uh I went on I went on I did the five minutes I
00:15:00
had a retainer uh because I was still young and I remember just total silence I was saying stuff that you know that I thought they would love that my family's loved for years and they were just going
00:15:11
and then I remember hearing one guy go he's got a retainer what happened you still get that blank mind like yeah the first two years three
00:15:27
years of Comedy I all day long I'd be practicing and all the [ __ ] written down
00:15:33
and like I'm gonna I gotta say this then that then this and then I'd get on stage and I'd be like well I [ __ ] hate it
00:15:39
here why am I here right now space out you guys space out I'm sure blank out all the time I would be nervous all day long just adrenalized sweating just just bright redneck terrified pacing yeah you
00:15:52

00:15:58

00:16:04
of confidence pretty quickly then I don't know how but yes [Music] I'm just curious about a little bit about early Adam just for a second yeah
00:16:15

00:16:22
just I do this sometimes with our guests just you know a favorite toy or a favorite bike or your first guitar what would you have memories about it

00:16:45
your own little jump you'd put pillows and cardboard and [ __ ] Evel Knievel would fly off of that that was fun I

00:18:19

00:18:36
something else a green bike they took the seat off my father bought a a huffy seat on the bike and I would go down the
00:18:48
Webster School with my Elementary School everyone's popping wheelies and on their puppies and I showed up with my Huffy
00:18:54
seat in the green bike and I was like Hey and they were like get the [ __ ] out of here with that fake Huffy [ __ ] was
00:19:01
that a budgetary thing or teaching a lesson for your dad there was a time when my dad he didn't tell us he was so

like one joke yeah yeah like one joke right yeah not really stories it was right like that and I wasn't even you
00:27:12
know we'd have YouTube all that [ __ ] so I didn't know you till I actually physically saw you yeah was oh that was
00:27:18
in the valley it was at the end of the valley people go to the valley improv Dana did you ever do that oh yeah I did
00:27:23

one of the boys you check it out um and it was Scatman Crothers as well but you you
00:27:37
um like Jack terributo told me once that he was your you know your daily for a long time and he knew you back then you would just do a bit you'd go to a club wouldn't quite work yeah and then you
00:27:49
keep going and going and he'd come back like a week later and you had it killing so yeah we're very tenacious yes right
00:27:55
yes I I don't know why I was not I was probably the same as as you guys you you just I don't know I believed in it I kept doing it found a way to kind of phrase
00:28:06
it right do it till it works or you do you ever take I used to tape mine then it was very excruciating and listen to
00:28:12
your own voice but yeah you would think you killed and it was really just one person laughing loud yeah
00:28:18
or you think it was nothing but then you said something you forgot in between the jokes that was good so you'd sort of
00:28:24
like piece it together and then try it again and tape it sure yeah I did the old I did the same thing you do where
00:28:30
you pulled out of a hat but it was more sickening because I drove off from Arizona and then they'd have at The
00:28:35
Improv amateur night and so I'd sit there and they'd pull a name and read it and you'd come up so they're all waiting
00:28:41
yeah and every time they pull it you get nervous and it's not you and I go oh and
00:28:46
you almost don't want it to be you sometimes you're like good they're not gonna get to it right then it was tough and then by the end of the night I'm
00:28:52
like scared it was but then I never it never worked that way and I think it was rigged I
00:28:58
think they knew it was going up they had friends of friends but uh I finally got got a few things but then
00:29:04
we wound up running to each other how did you do your first night hi how did I do yeah first thing to stand up yeah
00:29:10
that's a good question um when I started stand up I take the mic off can I get anything at him no it's a it's actually I just
00:29:25
remember the first time we were spoiled because when I got to uh starting line or I was the valley and I was seeing
00:29:31
Comics I was seeing guys like Drake sailor who's great I saw Adam was great Schneider was funny yeah and it was
00:29:37
great I was just wound up seeing guys that in a million years how would we all get on SNL it was so weird that it would
00:29:44
happen that way when you came in it was like a firestorm but you guys really you kind of like had 20 minutes right you
00:29:51
weren't headline on the road you had to make 20. and then that's when people saw you in the clubs that's right and they
00:29:58
liked your writing you got hired as a writer yes yes yes yes Dennis Dennis hooked me up Dennis Dennis Miller Dennis
00:30:05
Miller Dennis was the one who saw you that's true yeah Dennis Miller saw me a few times at the Santa Monica improv and
00:30:12
he waited in the back after he I think you guys know know each other right I knew that he was my favorite you
00:30:18
probably introduced us then maybe yeah and and he watched me and he and he said he liked some of my jokes and he was he
00:30:25
was so nice to me and we we loved him and we idolized them and uh he he heard they were looking for Lauren was looking at new people and he said you should check out the Sandman and
00:30:36
Fandango yeah he gave you that nanaker yeah because the dentist never he always has a name for something right right okay sex you know Sandman hitting it heavy down at the prop in Santa Monica
00:30:49
okay tearing up the beach communities with his wiltest stilt humor okay so I love being Dennis I love being here too but um thank you so
00:31:03
what was your do you remember your first bit that kind of became your your uh your rock like even if this the set was not going well you had one that started close yes I had one that
00:31:16
um I don't I said uh Vicks Vapor Rub I used to say remember Vic's VapoRub uh when your mother would rub it on your chest oh yeah yeah yeah and and my mother would be rubbing around my chest
00:31:29
and then we make eye contact and I was like I thought we were just friends ma that was that was like my that was a
00:31:36
great one that was my big this one when you go I remember that joke very well I thought that was a great one and he said when I was people say if you could live your life over
00:31:47
would you would you change your thing you go yeah uh when I was walking down the when I felt on the stairs I might have grabbed the rail next time oh yeah
00:31:54
is that something like that yeah yeah that was it geez I forgot that I mean there's obviously Wilt Chamberlain but
00:32:00
you had so many good jokes and they were so different and odd and then uh and then Dennis got you on yeah but it's good to be different it's very hard to be different and so when you when I did
00:32:11
it when I auditioned that night it was with rock uh Dana Gould and and three other good
00:32:18
comedians where were you I was in Chicago rock did great I did fine Dana Gould destroyed right he was incredible so he he should have got it he's great why he he wrote for
00:32:33
the he did a lot of great stuff but somehow I got hired as a writer like David did and yeah David Schneider me and who else was a writer anybody else just us three uh me oh yeah because
00:32:45
Farley and rock got hired that year and they were uh just straight they were on feature consumers yes everybody wrote
00:32:52
for themselves like Dana row but Nana was never credited as a writer if you if you got on as a main player you never
00:32:58
got a writer's credit for some reason but whatever it's just part of the deal that was good sneaky money though I
00:33:03
didn't want to be a writer but you know we didn't make much money but you'd get kicked a rerun uh in perpetuity and that
00:33:10
was nice even though it was two cents but it was nice to uh you get a you get a stack of shots X and it's the host so
00:33:16
it's like 18 cents Alec Baldwin 18 cents Tom Hank close so that was kind of fun to rack that up the bricks you've invested wisely yeah
00:33:27
and then uh but we didn't make a ton I'm sure when you started to make we didn't
00:33:33
make [ __ ] I don't think we even we couldn't believe we were getting paid right yeah yeah get money just maybe yeah like you've
00:33:41
net like maybe 20 grand for the whole season oh yeah yeah yeah just live in a Hubble yeah it was really I was but you
00:33:47
know I there I was with Phil like great Phil Jen Jen hooks God bless him yes and
00:33:53
Mike Myers and love it and the show was really cooking and then you guys came off like the mothership and closest
00:33:59
encounters you know here comes Rock and Sandler and I remember the first time I saw you in the office you're just kind of sitting at the big table on the 17th Floor Saturday and I was doing pretty
00:34:11
well on the show you know but I I like to immediately you just you just had this Vibe about you that was really
00:34:17
really funny and likable you know and that's a big part the love we all had Dana was the the king Dana I'll tell you remember it was
00:34:29
almost like at a stand-up Club if Dana had a skit and your skit was going on after you were just like oh yeah yeah oh no because he was on crashed so hard you
00:34:40
got to follow church lady or something yeah read through his back put on the air on
00:34:47
the air was the biggest explosion in the place and then your skit would do fine but in your weird comedy brain you're just like how the [ __ ] do I get those
00:34:57
data laughs yeah so I had a lot of help you know make a talk show yeah and then have Phil Hartman and Jen
00:35:07
so you come on you get on the show you're like what's your first big guy always first he probably did update
00:35:14
first right or did you Iraqi Pete or something no that was uh Al Franken wrote that
00:35:19
yeah aren't you supposed to do the noise now you do that all right but um I I'd like to ask you a question yeah so like in classic comedy
00:35:31
sorry David you weren't finished sorry you're gonna like this one because you know you didn't really lean on it much but in the beginning I remember in the classic comic sense of the idiot so like
00:35:43
there's Jerry Lewis is like the king then I remember you would do the hunched over guy and he would do that sound like
00:35:51
where where did that guy come from because that instantly made me laugh so hard that because you were so committed
00:36:00
I don't even know man it's very musical can you do more I always felt good in a microphone I
00:36:13
just remember seeing that and really loving it you know but there's one character I want to break down unless
00:36:19
David has a question because I'm fat sure go ahead we're really close friends um the Opera man the evolution of Opera I'm
00:36:32
mad that then became the indestructible killer bit of all time by the time you got it on the update desk yes with the
00:36:42
pictures and you were mixed right wig so good way but talk about the origins of that and the way you did it and then the way you ended up doing it evolved yes okay go ahead yes that's my question
00:36:55
thank you yeah that's a good question and I remember you were you knew the guy so there was a man on the street who
00:37:02
used to sing opera on the street he used to hold the can up and you'd be walking down the street and he'd kind of come
00:37:07
back and go and he's sitting really hot and he charges didn't know that yeah that's kind of where I first started doing it I love that I didn't know that I met that guy
00:37:22
today at McDonald's he wasn't singing though he's in between sets what would a guy like that be ordering like a McDonald's hey barbecue sauce the thing that you
00:37:36
can sound exactly Opera is one more gift on SNL if you can have a voice if they'd
00:37:42
write a singing sketch obviously Adam wrote a lot of his own but if they'd write someone a sing you can get in if
00:37:48
you can play an instrument you can get it there's so many things if you can do dance so if you don't I didn't do a lot
00:37:53
of those things which was kind of a drag but Adam can sing so well and actually write songs and actually write songs
00:38:00
that are catchy because a lot of those things you don't update were actually really catchy on top of just being funny and so that combo is big and that Opera
00:38:07
man was a [ __ ] cruncher that always that was a gift didn't you do it off in on the stage next update initially yeah no I first time I did it it was just gibberish it was like it was a theater
00:38:20
thing and I think maybe you or was it filled that's what I remember I don't know maybe you maybe you but I was in my
00:38:28
office yes that's it Adam used to go around the office on all fours so then I hear a little knock and I'm in my office so I open it up and you're on
00:38:41
all four people oh and then you were asking me to do something introduce Offerman so I did remember that so you were like a theater guy I would say yeah
00:38:52
the Opera man yeah it was something like yeah goes from the emotion of you know like trying to catch the bus but unfortunately he misses the bus but then
00:39:04
he sees his mother you know is behind the bus and picks him up let's watch the Aquaman okay
00:39:20
and that was it and it did good it did good afternoon good yeah Sandler it's good but if you a trick on SNL is if if Adam was probably slightly newer then
00:39:33
but if you anchor it with Dana who they love all right and then he brings you on and they go hey Danny seems to like it
00:39:40
and they and then they started the new guy it helps [Music] you knew it no it was a Dana's the best at it so that's what it was but any anyways uh it did fine I it was up at
00:39:53
the table it did well everybody remember after a while they started liking us at the table when David and I first were on
00:39:59
S M and at the table and we tried to get on and we do full skits for ourselves everybody else was kind of like calm down that's enough guys yeah that's enough not yet not yet yeah yeah right
00:40:11
but then by uh uh this time they were like all right give him a shot and then we did that and it didn't do great so
00:40:18
Lauren didn't put it on but then the Turner's out of nowhere Bonnie and Terry Turner great writers right over for the
00:40:24
show for eight nine years Wayne's World Wayne's World yeah they were they wrote the first Tommy Boy draft so what's that they wrote the first draft of Tommy Boy that's right Tommy Boy that's right they
00:40:37
were they were monsters I don't even know why we don't hear about talk about them more they had some huge sketches you guys should have them on this show
00:40:42
yeah hi Terry hello guys listening to this when it's released but they wrote what what Lindsay and Lindsay their daughter their daughter Lindsay yes and but uh
00:40:53
but anyways they wrote this thing and they talked to me I was in my office they like so remember that Opera man thing he did we came up with an idea for the news and they showed it to me and
00:41:06
I'm so I was just so dumb and young and whatever I was and I was like yeah I guess I guess we could try it down it was it was Opera man in the news that he said
00:41:17
Opera man doing this showing showing current uh I didn't really I was like no Opera man speaks gibberish and that doesn't make
00:41:28
anything you don't understand compliment so then it became a divorce oh how would it you know
00:41:34
like Trump yeah exactly exactly just Crush that was all those guys wrote it I got to be they would give me The Melodies and Cheryl would write yeah and they would just give me all the
00:41:48
goods and I mean it was the greatest gift ever yeah did you do it Eddie Vedder or not you
00:41:55
sing like Eddie Vedder why don't you all right I sang like was it as Opperman or was it Aquaman singing about uh Pearl
00:42:02
Jam yeah and then uh yeah yeah and I remember when I think they were even on the show
00:42:08
Pearl Jam that night yeah that's right but what would he say a veteran I mean he's got the pipes kid you were going hey
00:42:18
concrete oh yeah yeah yeah yeah but he's not exactly like him I can't do it now I
00:42:25
know any better he's it's a certain what he does he's got a thicker lower voicemail we share an office me and uh Farley and
00:42:36
then you walk through our office to get to uh Adam and Chris Rock so when the door was closed out here
00:42:43
oh my God he's gotta kill her cooking oh yes it's in the oven we all have got excited when we landed on a good impression but um I did one with love it's uh not for me yeah I love it yeah
00:42:57
and that was a perfect only other guy who could do it besides you because he's got pipes and yeah he's just a funny so
00:43:04
that was a kill that was amazing he played your brother or something it was Glenn Close and and uh and love us and
00:43:10
maybe they were my parents I don't remember yeah that's right can we I I liked I I could go anywhere it's so much fun I wanted to
00:43:22
ask about one of those bits when he you get to bring in one of the musical Stars I think McCartney did Red Hood sweatshirt oh that was a great God damn
00:43:30
it you did something with him right before McCartney hosted you you weren't there then I missed it I was a fool you know he was upset you know because we'd met at 86 in
00:43:42
Lawrence house he called me up you I don't know why you didn't stick around then you know we could have had a
00:43:48
plunker we'd be blocking looking at each other I go who is this nobody no he's crazy I missed that but you you got to do a thing what did you do with
00:43:59
Paul McCartney it was red hooded sweatshirt I wrote it uh with Ian MaxStone Graham and I forget
00:44:05
who else somebody else and we um and we had you know I had dip dip dip and stuff like that I say it and then as it progressed Kevin maybe Kevin Nealon did it with me
00:44:19
and then I said let's call out Paul and Linda and and Paul and Linda McCartney uh we wrote it for him and then Lauren said I said will they do it he goes well
00:44:30
you have to talk to them and so I went to Lauren's office they were eating I think they were on the show or they were
00:44:36
just visiting they were Paul was the guest okay and Linda was with him you walk in and you have to convince them I
00:44:42
just like how you're coming with the Dopey guitar and be like my heart's pounding through my cheeks did you crawl
00:44:48
in or did you walk that was when you were gonna pitch it remember you'd skip across no I'm making that up sorry go ahead so you walk in
00:45:00
there I mean Lauren's eating Sean Lee and uh and Paul and Linda then Linda's amazingly nice and Paul's amazing nice and I sing him the little thing and um and they laughed and then I left and
00:45:13
then I was like I don't know if that worked or not but then they said yes and they forever I got that I sang with them
00:45:20
hung out with them after the show hung out Stella was there remember Stella was a kid she came to the show starting
00:45:26
McCartney the fashion designer yes and she was such a nice kid she was like our age then you know like whatever we were and uh I yeah let's keep the numbers out
00:45:37
of it I saw him discipline his kids on Long Island went over to his house and you know I think James had a little toy
00:45:44
sword a place already dropped it down on his sister and Paul goes you do that one more time we're gonna have a problem
00:45:53
yeah same as a dad I remember some Comics said he had a bill he was the first one with a billion dollars and they go uh you know if he lost his wall in a cab and
00:46:06
there was 500 million in it he'd still have 500 million dollars that was some kind of joke but do you remember when
00:46:11
Farley's Brothers came to the show and McCartney was on that stupid story where Paul Paul looked the same as Paul
00:46:17
McCartney growing up but he had a little bit of gray here and so Farley's brothers were standing there with red cups there was no security so the music
00:46:24
comes out of their dress room walks by the 8h page desk you know that and they walk
00:46:29
right into the show and they go Paul McCartney one minute till you're on live and so you see he comes out with a
00:46:35
bodyguard on the front and back and he walks out with his guitar and it's [ __ ] Paul McCartney I'm there with Farley's uh idiot brothers and they're
00:46:41
all drunk and he comes around and they go and one of them goes hey Paul and he looks over and he goes getting a little gray and he goes
00:46:54
and then he goes on the Monitor and they're like 15 seconds and he looks in the Monitor and he goes like this he got his head right before he went out
00:47:06
oh no and you know he's like is my and then um anyway so I I will say one of my proudest moments because sometimes Adam and I would try to write together or uh we would all try to think of excuses to
00:47:20
all be in the same sketch or whatever and the the one I like the best is the gap girls when we were
00:47:26
um in the that was all David in the mall and then Farley says lay off me I'm starving that is one of the funnest ones we ever did yeah man and Schneider was in it and Sarah Gilbert was a host oh
00:47:37
yeah and uh we were all uh that was just the fun for me because we would all just rehearse so you know you write it if it gets in you laugh it read through you laugh you know when we
00:47:49
talk about what who plays what parts and what we say and then you you really I wrote all that stuff though I know but
00:47:55
then everyone adds jokes whatever you want and then we got to do it on so you have to rehearse all week or once or twice that's a good reason to hang out
00:48:02
yeah does everyone know about the Gap girls because they're so young okay because there's some younger people here it was just a sketch where we all worked
00:48:13
at the Gap we played girls and it was infuriating now and how did you talk whatever that's right yeah weren't you at the folding meeting yeah
00:48:24
and I went to the Gap and studied it and they showed up they put a clipboard in the sweaters and pulled them out and pulled them up oh yeah mesmerized and
00:48:31
then they would actually this is when you feel kind of like a big deal because if you get a sketch on and you're just
00:48:37
some doofus from Arizona and it's like a dumb sketch about the Gap and then when they bring the sketches written as put
00:48:45
up on his feet they bring in they talked the Gap and brought a whole section of the Gap over so if they had a security
00:48:52
guard because it would cost so much it was real pants real sweaters and it was just a chunk of the Gap they moved in
00:48:57
the Gap liked it because it was free advertising yeah even though we made them all look like morons but it was
00:49:04
still really fun and then uh we all hung out there and uh would practice in there rehearse whatever it's called and uh it
00:49:10
was great so we did a couple of those we did gaperty it was Jeopardy it was just a fun way for me you and Farley to be in
00:49:17
sketches yeah and uh that was that was our names again say it again what was our names Christy Lucy he was Cindy and you might have been Lucy yeah yeah and does anyone
00:49:28
know something like that [Music] uh do you remember the one that because a lot of times you don't really get to rock and roll with somebody in a
00:49:42
sketch so you and I had dogs had a crazy sketch when I came back to guest host dogs no you play drums what pepper boy oh wow let's talk about pepper boy so
00:49:54
that yeah yeah that was incredible I was like you and I were peaking on the on here show Chris Farley was Tim metals Farley crossed let's just talk about
00:50:05
that for a second that was Steve Koren started that's right wrote it wrote it so did that it's just too I I was kind
00:50:12
of the he was my protege I was the mentor I was obsessed with how to do the pepper yeah huge Pepper Mill and and
00:50:18
Adam was kind of the the underlying and really eager and we I'll just set it up for a second we did well in read through yeah pretty well in rehearsal dress show pretty good yeah
00:50:30
yeah then Steve corn comes to me and tells me something you want to do so at one point we had the I was gonna uh you were going crazy you were so
00:50:42
nervous remember I slapped you oh yeah yeah comedy it's always threes right yeah with the sound effects so between dress and air Steve corn the writer comes and says Adam's gonna put
00:50:54
the pepper shaker between his legs so you're gonna do this oh yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah and then we
00:50:59
timed it great but we really peeked on air yeah that was amazing that doesn't happen every time we committed so hard I
00:51:06
mean because Tim Meadows was sitting there and I was doing the pepper you like a fever huh I mean it became way I
00:51:12
don't know if it was sexual or something but we were just on another level I every
00:51:18
I'd say once uh uh two weeks if I'm in a restaurant a guy with the pepper thing will be like fresh pepper
00:51:29
all right yeah yeah and do you remember what happened like Farley was always the
00:51:35
best at breaking people because he could be explosively funny remember his line and what he did I know what it is yeah
00:51:41
we were we flew in from Tommy Boy Yes for just the show and then we had to fly back oh and he goes I have a line in
00:51:48
Pepper boy and didn't he have a big beard yeah he looked ridiculous he really happened he's
00:52:06
I'm gonna make you laugh out there I'm like all right all right and then I think he leans back goes why thank you I've never seen a human Transformer
00:52:29
Adam starts to turn purple that's the stage I'm over here Adam's turning toward me and trying not to go yeah the
00:52:36
sketch had gone so well that I stayed in character but I was but I said don't the
00:52:41
break until you remember do you remember that of course that's funny man adult Pro the funny thing is as Farley wasn't even supposed to say it that loud it made no sense
00:52:57
oh yeah he lost his marbles yeah well that's mine but that was that was an electric sketch for a restaurant sketch antonori when we did that well you guys
00:53:08
major it was explosive you you you would take the Reigns murder murder murder yeah then we'd have a little thing to do when we were like let's jump on the Dana
00:53:20
[ __ ] thunder storm well I don't quite if you guys killed too you and schneidered but we you got them all
00:53:26
right that was an Italian restaurant where every all the waiters are too sexual with Kirstie Alley and all the uh
00:53:32
all the women that come in they're like oh but listen Mama yeah I start licking Kirstie Alley's
00:53:38
face I'm supposed to lick her face really hard I remember in rehearsal I go is this okay and she goes oh yeah go for it whatever you want to do a Belize in
00:53:45
my life but you guys were just you know Crusher you and Schneider came in with Snyder had no clothes on or something I had no clothes on that was the I was the guy
00:53:59
back then I could take my [ __ ] shirt off and feel okay now there's there's a reason
00:54:06
the sweatshirt's on at all times yeah there's another shirt in case that somehow falls off
00:54:12
you know there's another question was Lunch Lady Land and a great song I called Taylor about a year ago I go yeah
00:54:17
yes it's on my iPod and it came in and really this is a good song when you go celebrity jokes live slapping Joe yeah
00:54:25
the way you write it and it's actually funny and then you do a sketch and it's funny and then you hear it again you go
00:54:31
that's actually a good song like you can it's all these catchy songs I sang that I sang that on my album before I sang it
00:54:39
on Saturday Night Live oh yeah you did it first on the album and Farley was at the taping of my album and so when I'm singing on the album slap Metro I mean I
00:54:50
think I'm in Santa Barbara I don't remember where I was just a cool Club I I'm sorry I forgot the name of it but it
00:54:56
was a club we were recording Farley was in the crowd going nuts and then you you
00:55:01
he's his crazy voice is so when I'm going slap it goes you hear Farley going never even heard the song before he just kind of said all right he's going to say did it yeah that was the question was
00:55:16
that on they're gonna laugh at you which one two times Platinum S I think I mean I don't know if there's there's been some after but with that back in the day that was you were on it
00:55:30
yeah everybody was hey buddy hey buddy the Buddies we did buddy dude buddy dude homie yeah that was a great one what the hell happened to you was another one yes yes
00:55:42
yes yes that was where your real assity humor came out on those albums that was where I got to curse a lot for the first
00:55:49
time and uh and David cursed with me and we all uh we were so excited it was like
00:55:54
being on Saturday night I just thought it was like jazz I mean I mean the one about the announcer with the uh the
00:56:00
champion you say the word the champion it's a golf announcer you do it yeah you say the word Championship 500 times it's
00:56:06

missing putts and you're the announcer he announcer on the champion is is feeling it today and it's about you set
00:56:21
the course recorded the champion and then he fights certainly hear the crowd go oh well the champion laughs at all
00:56:30

00:56:36
more uh just insane closer to being like choking and he's like well he's up three
00:56:42
Strokes hopefully he can put this one in and and then it's Blake Clark is doing the voice of the chat of blackjack and he's going God [ __ ] damn it but anyways those albums were good
00:56:55
because like they lay into the crowd of college kids in the summer and then you come back and you're even bigger on SNL
00:57:00
because they're like playing them over and yeah besides Saturday Night Live because like
00:57:08
you said I would go out on tour they'd get kids who were coming to see me knew the album so they they knew some of the
00:57:14
songs of the characters and that definitely relaxed me on stage yeah all of us we used to have fun well let's just say because you've given me a lot of props that by the time you you're
00:57:26
after about two years in on SNL you really were just like Top Notch I mean you were crushing consistently on that
00:57:33
show and the audience was falling in love with you because yeah you know when you'd sing Hanukkah song when you would
00:57:40
do your guitar or Thanksgiving song right right first of all you actually you're a really good acoustic player not
00:57:46
bad and you could hold a great Melody and then it's so silly and funny and also watching you enjoy it not breaking
00:57:52
but just the light in your eyes it's so infectious it was exciting yeah yeah man
00:57:57
I remember that I remember singing that at the table uh the turkey song the Thanksgiving song for like it's my goal
00:58:06
and a couple other writers at the table going you know singing it to him and if they laughed I
00:58:11
was like oh [ __ ] okay they think you're on something yeah it was a big deal if those guys the great writers on the show
00:58:16
when when they would smile at what your idea was like Jim Downey if he said something was good you would just like
00:58:22
even if you didn't get on you were like all right yeah yeah we had the A Team there was Michael genius Downey
00:58:29
brilliant you know we had some incredible writers when was your first movie that was when
00:58:35
we did uh the summer we did Tommy Boy you did Billy Madison right yes yeah yes and then and then the next summer uh Happy Gilmore happy going and then and
00:58:46
they those movies kept making it more than the other ones they give you another one and then it was
00:58:52
A Wedding Singer Wedding Singer yeah and then and then Waterboy it was the mic drop at that point you were removed yeah it was too big when you do what happened you did of course Billy Madison but you
00:59:03
do Happy Gilmore The Wedding Singer and water boy yeah within like 24 months or something then Big Daddy then another Mega Monster yeah yeah too many I can't even you know when Waterboy came out I
00:59:15
was hosting and you were there that weekend and we were gonna do a bit in the monologue and then you had to fly back Waterboy was such a [ __ ] they
00:59:22
told us or they told you how much it made and everyone's like what the [ __ ] and then you you had to get back and I
00:59:29
changed my monologue and I just did stand up I wasn't doing stand-up model you're kidding me I was supposed to go out with you well we're gonna do
00:59:35
audience memory you know when you go oh yes and you're gonna ruin my monologue with questions and then they go Lauren
00:59:41
goes well I you know you said you had to go and I go all right well what do I do and he goes stand up oh really aren't
00:59:49
you a stand-up I go well I [ __ ] never do anymore I go tonight so I was just throw some things together I go so you can't go practice or run to catch Rising Star so I put uh some together but it's
01:00:01
so [ __ ] terrifying to a monologue anyway and then oh yeah cordless hosting's hard and then one thing
01:00:07
that is the worst when you're doing stand up and you're about to go out and you look for the mic and then the the guy makes the decision for you like don't don't use the hand mic use this
01:00:19
and you don't have a [ __ ] mic in hand you're like holy [ __ ] what do I do with both my eyes
01:00:26
I know we're not used to it yeah or a mic stand I lean on a mic stand sometimes it's not there yeah yeah
01:00:31
looking for a mic stand to lean on it's just like drowning yeah yeah when you're first starting to stand up you just hold
01:00:37
the mic like this oh God you're joking yeah yeah did you go with Bill like we uh I'm
01:00:46
sorry I remember shooting Billy yeah Madison and you guys are shooting Tommy Boy and hanging out yeah up in Toronto
01:00:53
yeah we're in the same place because we came over there and that was the night when you remember when you did that
01:00:59
thing called there was like a crime scene uh joke with everybody where they go in a room and you go walking and it's
01:01:04
a crime anyway so but but oh yeah but Adam's movie was called Billy Madison art movie was called Billy the third yeah it was Billy the thing and so we changed it and we just didn't have a we know what to
01:01:16
call it of all things we both have the same lead as the same name so we eventually changed ours because the name
01:01:23
of the movie was Billy the third but [ __ ] hanging out in Toronto with you and Farley that was great we had a
01:01:29
couple weeks together yeah and then uh oh yeah so then you do all those movies that seem to work out you did some movies uh by the way my wife and I watched oh we watched I saw

01:02:37
working for the Sixers for many years and I find out yeah you like the Sixers I'm nervous about Joelle there I hope
01:02:44
everything yeah that is a good team though but um anyways uh I discover a guy in Spain juancho Hernan Gomez he's just a he's an NBA player who never
01:02:56
acted a day in his life yeah and he's so [ __ ] he's crazy I really believe he's
01:03:03
just from this little village yes and really just has nothing going on beautiful jump shot I knew it wasn't
01:03:08
season yeah you knew it was like an amazing yeah all you think is how many times you got to do every scene he makes
01:03:14
every basket you go is he making all these [ __ ] baskets because I've been on sets where they're like going again
01:03:19
I'm like make it let's get the [ __ ] out of here but it's very hard to do that in all those scenes where it's pivotal he
01:03:26
has to make it yeah in a crowd with a crowd behind him and you got all these NBA players in it it's very real it's
01:03:32
unbelievable unbelievable is it Heidi's in it oh yeah he's got Heidi Garners in it yeah yeah who uh who uh Robert DeVille owns in the
01:03:45
movie owns the Sixers yeah and um he has uh Ben Foster's son and Heidi Carter's his daughter and they all work for the organization and Heidi's excellent in it yeah and she's great in it and uh Duvall
01:03:57
must have been huge to be uh in that was an amazing hanging out with Dubai most of them she shot the [ __ ] with Robert
01:04:03
Duvall for we were together three four days did all our scenes together we talked and talked and sat I sat in a he has a Rolls-Royce in the movie I [ __ ] sat in the back of a Rolls-Royce just
01:04:16
talked about the Godfather talked about in between uh setups it wasn't like he just was cool he was just talking about everything and he's uh he's 90 something years old and he was just yeah
01:04:28
a sweetheart and he was great great stories James con and he just [ __ ] knows everybody so that would just uh you'd be you're a fly on the wall at that point yeah yeah and he's talking
01:04:39
about The Godfather what other movies you do what you liked and he's like sorry the protection Squad suddenly they're gonna help us
01:04:52
exactly yeah I think because you know the movie I don't want to give anything away but it kind of goes roller coastery but you have to get on the phone and it was like
01:05:04
very like great acting solid scene where I was like oh my God that must have been hard
01:05:09
to do but like a tear jerker that was there's a couple of scenes like that in there that are really get you into the
01:05:15
movie Into the movie Into the movie and that guy was uh the basketball player was great actually remember I ran into
01:05:20
you uh and you were with him and yeah oh yeah this guy's in the movie and then uh he was super cool though he's such uh he's six nine he's from Spain his him and his
01:05:33
brother are both are in the NBA he plays for the Spanish national team he was on
01:05:38
he's on the Utah Jazz now and he just did it as a [ __ ] joke because of the pandemic they were like going around
01:05:46
saying we're looking for a basketball player Adam Sandler's got some movie LeBron James is producing and his sister
01:05:52
said why don't you do it just for fun and he did it he auditioned we were like geez that guy's pretty damn yeah so it's
01:05:59
good in it it's amazing these scenes like when you have to do a real crying scene in a movie or
01:06:06
something like that I I don't know about you you cry a lot I've seen that but but
01:06:12
in real life I don't cry that much but on a movie every day at 10 A.M when you have when you have to cry in a scene you're just like oh my God how the [ __ ] is that gonna happen and yeah whatever
01:06:24
you work hard this one show did like 10 setups of different angles blah blah and
01:06:31
he was just bawling crying and saying his Line's perfect I'm like this and he's a handsome [ __ ] yeah he's a good
01:06:37
looking dude I was trying not to say yeah yeah oh he's so good looking he can cry he's got everything actually he's
01:06:45
got it all it's it's game over it's six nine crying handsome [ __ ] ten and a half actually soft like a baby every day
01:06:55
13. Dana I will give you guys a tip if you're ever in a movie and you have to cry and it's hard to yeah you fake it
01:07:02
and you go like this um yes do you feel like because you know you had uncut gems that was pretty good
01:07:21
right yes thank you Dana so then I then I saw that and then I see this one it seems like you're either you're I don't know you're and the murder mystery movie
01:07:34
I mean you're on a roll I mean are you feeling like parole since high school are you changing up stuff because you seem to be at this other level or is it just from doing it so much uh I think
01:07:47
I'm getting older more opportunities guys like the safety Brothers yes uh those happy brothers who your your brother he he kind of did worked with
01:07:58
them as well they were great friends with Andy and uh I met them God 12 years ago they were
01:08:05
talking about uncut gems then I'm trying to get that going yeah yeah I was sort of the Muse
01:08:15
um yeah yeah yeah but those guys are super cool very good yeah they did I think they did a
01:08:23
Kate Spade commercial is that how you guys met yeah and I think and he wrote an idea and they did it and then it
01:08:30
somehow went to the canned film festival and then they did a movie called I think Daddy Long Legs after that yeah incredible and then they just kept
01:08:36
getting they were just better and better and better and uh yes did yours and uh you know maybe one day you'll do another
01:08:42
one with them we're gonna make another one they're writing another one right now but I I lucked out I'm getting to do
01:08:47
all this great stuff Noah Bond back uh PTA yeah they all hooked me up they all wrote great stuff they asked me to be in it um Jim Brooks
01:08:58
yeah Paul Thomas and then you just get more relaxed over time right yeah or more in the pocket you get I I guess I'm getting I just did a movie with uh Johann Rank and he did uh Chernobyl and
01:09:12
he did the series yeah he's incredible and I later an astronaut in it and the guy is [ __ ] crazy in the movie and going through a lot of pain and then and I went yeah just [ __ ] do it and go
01:09:25
and try your hardest so that's all I do I try my best and the ones that don't work they go all right we got to cut
01:09:31
around that but uh but I try to try to get as good as I can and they they make it work is it ever scary because these guys do great movies or great TV show and PTA obviously uh one of the Thomas
01:09:43
Sanders one of the best ever yes and then but you know PTA a little bit but if you get lucky enough you know you're
01:09:50
you're paired up with some great director and usually on sets like growing up so
01:09:55
those kind of moves you have more of a say yeah but if you have to kind of keep quiet somewhat not totally but yeah and
01:10:02
trust them and you ever get a feeling where you're like I don't even know if this guy knows the [ __ ] going I mean that must be scary these guys because
01:10:07
they're so good but you go it's gonna work it's they know what they're doing that must be hard you just go you just
01:10:13
give yourself to them because you know they're great and uh and you read the script and you you just don't want to
01:10:18
let them down and you jump in uh their world and it is neat it's neat not not I always feel more comfortable doing comedy I'm always uh more at ease going all right we're gonna go make a movie
01:10:30
and have a great time and try to come up with the best jokes and make everybody laugh I love that I'll love that the
01:10:35
rest of my life just like you guys this we're addicted to that but the other stuff I'm getting to do
01:10:41
uh it's awesome I know you both would crush at that also it's just it's just it's it's just different it's fun yeah uh it's a different day in the trailer you
01:10:55
don't go what the [ __ ] uh you know let me come up with a joke you're kind of sitting there going oh I got to get in this mood right now the jokes are kind
01:11:02
of crutchy because you know how to do it and you know yeah if you have a scene that's not working you go I think we can figure a way out of this if we think of
01:11:08
a joke or way out which is what you do a lot on a comedy but in these you're like
01:11:14
this is just connecting it's part of connecting the dots to the bigger picture so not a lot has to happen right
01:11:20
here and it's hard to trust that that's true just do what it is they'll figure I mean sometimes they add music or
01:11:25
something and you go oh I see what they did it's perfect yeah that's true you don't know when you're doing it and then when you're doing it and it's not right
01:11:31
those guys tell you he feels stupid for a second you go oh I was giving you a little extra and they were like calm down and Juice It Up a bit yeah you're making it real good for
01:11:46
the people and they go no no yeah believe me they want to see those are the brothers right the safety Brothers
01:11:54
Ronnie uh Dana what else do you have for Adam we gotta take a few questions I don't know I do think it's kind of cool
01:12:01
that you did there's so many movies obviously uh we talked to Drew Barrymore about 50 first I heard dates that was
01:12:09
really sweet Drew was great Drew gave you answers that were incredible every time doesn't Drew automatically take
01:12:16
even a half a question and she [ __ ] and she's poetically does a seven yeah she goes I'm gonna guess your next three questions and here's the answers um when I went to SNL we were like okay
01:12:30
made it easy her talking about being a little kid on SNL oh I know yeah at age seven by the way I've listened to I think every episode of your show I
01:12:41
[ __ ] love this show it's the best yeah I'm so happy for both of you it's the greatest well it's fun to do because
01:12:48
you know like we don't get to hang out with our friends that much so this is our chance to you know uh the other one
01:12:55
I wanted to ask you did anger management so you got to work with Jack Nicholson yes unreal and I really got to know him
01:13:01
yeah and you told the funny story about peanut butter just hanging out at his house oh yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
01:13:06
that's right man my first day over uh Nicholson's uh we I got there and we're in and he keeps the house dim and so I'm sitting in this chair in Jackson in this
01:13:19
chair we're facing each other about five feet away from each other and we're talking and [ __ ] and uh and I I'm going
01:13:26
it's dark enough that I'm going in my head this I don't think this is Jack Nicholson I think like they brought out
01:13:33
a fake one to talk to me and see if I'm okay to talk to the real one so I'm just going like this and he's like talking
01:13:41
quietly and it doesn't sound like the impression everybody does you know me or whatever baby let me tell you something
01:13:49
it's not like that it's kind of like yeah man it's kind of quiet and cool and a little saying man let me I don't know he just has a cooler voice but I I was not really believing it was him and then
01:14:02
uh I do like an hour of that and then at the uh at the end of he goes you're hungry or something like that I said I yeah yeah I could eat he goes you want a sandwich but I said I said
01:14:16
yeah that sounds great man and he's like BB and J and I go that's [ __ ] great that he gets up and walks away then he turns around he looks at me and he goes Skippy or Jiff
01:14:30
y sounds like I thought also that you went outside for a minute oh yeah and you were outside he came out and he held
01:14:36
up the jars that's right such a funny image so I remember your stories I ran it in with law of course with Lauren and uh and uh we had dinner and
01:14:53
and he goes and he's come there's an empty seat you know is this stupid no no okay so
01:15:00
Lauren and Lauren goes uh we're gonna have some spaghetti and uh and uh I was with Rosie she's over there I was over here there's an empty seat and Lauren sits here says NBC and Jack sits next to
01:15:14
Rosie and he starts talking then he goes one time uh I went to the MTV Awards or
01:15:19
something or something it is I ran out and it was so dark I got in the wrong limo and I sat down and uh everyone just
01:15:27
stared at me and it was Nirvana and he goes and he goes we're just and anyway in the wrong limo I go uh-oh and then she goes did they know who you did they
01:15:37
not know who you were and he goes well that's never happened [Music] no he was because Nicholson one yeah
01:15:46
related to SNL so Phil Hartman and John Levitz and I are playing the par 3 in Studio City
01:15:53
yeah so we're on the green we waved the guy on and he shoots it out of bounds and he walks over we realize it's Nicholson right right you know so he walks up and Phil Hartman had dubbed his
01:16:04
voice in the movie The Border because they couldn't get a hold of Nicholson wow feels very respectful and he goes Mr
01:16:10
Nicholson I dubbed your voice in the movie The Border One Beat and he goes no wonder it was my only stinker that's a good one yeah as a joke all
01:16:22
right let's take some questions real quick get out I'm out of here uh uh by the way just so you know before
01:16:29
Nicholson did anger management he called Lauren he called Lauren to see if it was
01:16:35
he had Lauren read the script oh really he goes I just just got to make sure see
01:16:40
if it was funny or yeah he goes oh really it makes me laugh and let me just no that score and he goes he is the man
01:16:46
and I skimmed it he yeah he went through it and gave it the blessing so I owned oh lord for that too we owe Lauren a lot yes and Lauren you appreciate Lauren
01:16:58
more and more every year you're away from the show what he has to deal with the egos the politics keeping the
01:17:04
sensibility in a certain frequency because people have to turn into Hee-Haw in a second oh man you're like smart he
01:17:12
likes big laughs so there's a lot a lot of respect for Lauren very true yeah all right how are we gonna do a q a how do
01:17:17
we do it oh they line up over there okay line up with him if video has a question we'll do a couple and then we'll get this uh
01:17:24
Greg Holtzman we'll get you guys to the other 300 shows tonight [Music] all right here we go hi there oh we're
01:17:36
starting yeah okay go ahead you man hey buddy uh so I was wondering you were talking about uh like childhood things
01:17:43

01:17:55
leather jacket that was too heavy but I couldn't give it up it was like a motorcycle one and it hurt my neck but I wanted to wear it and then I think I ordered the Improv
01:18:06
when I first I was around Adam and the first thing you ever said to me was can you unzipper me
01:18:12
can you help me get it off and I have to lay down now that was it mine was the other jacket they know what do you got
01:18:18
what'd you get but my own money that I bought I think I bought I went out my father had a
01:18:25
green dark green and light green 78 Cadillac Fleetwood or some [ __ ] when I was in high school and my first big move I went out to an old Cadillac place they didn't have that color but I got
01:18:40
that same caddy and had them painted that color that was like my big first movement that's cool can I change mine
01:18:50
you must have got more than a leather jacket based on your home sales recently sorry he did well David invested well yes what was your what did you get uh my
01:19:04

01:22:22
um do you think that to properly like kind of well like master that sort of craft you think it's like writing as much as you can like every
01:22:34
day is really the proper way to get to a point where you feel comfortable with your writing or do you think also I
01:22:41
suppose uh do you think it's also helpful to like try and collaborate with other people that you know you'd work
01:22:47
well with or it sounds a little like John Mulaney uh I would say my my if I would take
01:22:55
that uh my first answer be if it's stand up just get as much stage time as time as you can and uh if it's writing I think it's just more is better collaborating or writing by yourself
01:23:06
just anything you can do until something sticks I would say right right and right
01:23:11
I remember I lived with Apatow when I was he was the first one of us that would write yeah he wanted to sit in his room and write
01:23:24
skits all the time for for Saturday even wasn't on Saturday night but he would write kind of he would collaborate with
01:23:30
people and he was smart he made himself like a producer because that was a valuable thing to help someone do what
01:23:36
they're doing Jim Carrey or you right well I would say what is your name uh my name is Ambrose okay all right that's
01:23:43
all right so cool [Music] that's a great Chardonnay oh anyway Ambrose initially that seems like too much pressure to me to try to go in a room
01:23:54
and stuff if you're a comedy writer just write everything down that's what George Carlin said so if you're out with your
01:24:00
friends a lot of times just taking a walk or going to a movie someone will say something make sure you either record it or write it down and just do
01:24:07
it spontaneously all the time and your headset gets into yeah it's hard to just sit and write and be funny it happens
01:24:14
all day and if you just write it when it happens and don't say you'll remember it later because you won't so just write it
01:24:19
write it write it then you collect it and go is there anything here is anything here that stuff's very valuable
01:24:25
you basically only need to write five good jokes your whole life and then like David you use that the rest of your life
01:24:33
yeah it's a spade roast it's all right thank you guys so much all right what do we got I'm Bruce hi uh
01:24:47

01:24:58
video of you guys saying happy birthday to him imagine if we said no one meant this yeah you know you know when yeah
01:25:05
[Applause] what's his name what's his name Nicholas Nicholas and we're gonna say are you

01:26:06
birthday today and if we could sing Happy Birthday to her all right what has changed
01:26:11
him no but for real uh this is such a [ __ ] tree this is such a [ __ ] treat for all of
01:26:18
us because you guys are all just pillars of Comedy yeah yeah so thank you [Applause]
01:26:25
thank you he's rolling here here's my real questions you know as when you're watching you guys we pretend we're you we see ourselves in you and [ __ ] like that so
01:26:39
when you did mixed nuts with Steve Martin yeah and then when you did that scene with Philip Seymour Hoffman yeah
01:26:45
being you in those moments is like [ __ ] incredible so how was it being you in those moments it was that's some
01:26:51
very cool co-stars yeah two you're funniest [ __ ] by the way good job my name is [Applause]
01:27:05
God you you're so psyched you followed Ambrose too thank you like he's gonna take it down Ambrose is looking for pen and paper now
01:27:18
David tuned out so uh uh Steve Martin of course all our heroes yeah all the time yeah first time Hall of Famer Steve yeah yeah yeah probably the
01:27:32
number one uh ballot for us right you say it again he was probably the oh yeah the one guy memorized his albums his
01:27:38
album's wild and crazy guy all all the [ __ ] Steve Martin did so of course being in a movie with him with him was just
01:27:45
staring at him and waiting for like Quiet Moments to run over and say something and if hopefully he'd respond
01:27:51
and um so I loved that and he was very nice to me and then um uh Philip Seymour Hoffman he was just a very good
01:28:05
funny man took it serious went went hardcore and when we worked together by the way Philip Seymour Hoffman I don't know if you guys know this so we're doing Billy Madison
01:28:21
we wrote oh no that Happy Gilmore no maybe Billy Madison we wrote for Bob Odenkirk wrote
01:28:29
that for Bob Odenkirk the bad guy in the movie uh in the [ __ ] Studio wouldn't allow it they're like you can't just have your friends and we were like no he's [ __ ] great and and they said no
01:28:40
it's Bob odiker so I think that's how it went I think it's uh okay so we wanted Bob they said no they put out uh uh you gotta audition
01:28:51
