00:03:36
because I do voices I do like her voice she has a sort of it's all it's almost like it's a
00:03:43
sneakily seductive uh uh Cadence when she does stand up you know how she kind of moves her shoulders
00:03:49
and her arms I want to do jokes I remember verse two her and see if how close I get him try one oh oh you don't
00:03:56
have one no when she goes when she comes out and there's a song on and she goes
00:04:01
this is such a good song she goes this song is so good I remember I got gang raped for this song in an alley yeah and
00:04:09
I still love the song that's a testament to how great that is she's canceled and now we're canceled oh
00:04:21
she oh we have to ask her because some guy in a porn was whacking off and when he [ __ ] he goes Sarah Silverman she's
00:04:28
had a lot of stuff about she's got a lot of fans so we'll talk about that Sarah
00:04:33
Silverman has a great sense of humor I hung out with her at the 40th at the party the 40th anniversary of SNL
00:04:41
and my running gag that night was just checking my phone and saying you're trending right now so that was that was
00:04:46
my runner back then it was a while back that's pretty good especially back then
00:04:50
at the 40th because things were just beginning to Trend it was just full of stars I have a picture with her from
00:04:55
that um all right let's hear what she has to say action Sarah [Music] hello hello
00:05:08

00:05:30
be impressed you know it's so good I thank you look it's seriously look at
00:05:36
Sarah's Hometown why am I so loved I don't know it's fun but I I find it
00:05:41
quite disturbing oh Sarah Silverman is on our podcast yeah it's not video so I'm not going to describe your
00:05:51
Mansion um Sarah we we were just talking about just quickly about Ben Simmons and I
00:05:58
forgot you play ball Ben Simmons is a basketball player and uh we were saying that I was gonna tell
00:06:07
Dana that Sarah's a baller and he used to play at shanlings oh yes and I had
00:06:12
played a few times but I think you're better than me and that yeah okay don't
00:06:17
question it just say oh did you I just didn't know you please you guys I'm a
00:06:22
[ __ ] athlete I know so I'm a professional cheerleader they would throw him up and then he
00:06:29
would catch him right remember in high school I was the uh yeah so Sarah walk us through uh let's go
00:06:40
through Dana and I are this is your life no I've got a lot of questions no first
00:06:45
let me answer she played basketball and she was good at it and it was with Shannon and all these comedians it was
00:06:50
kind of fun yeah I haven't played basketball since the pandemic and I am I and now I'm like
00:06:57
um I think I'm should be done because uh in general is just not good for you when
00:07:07
you're older I had switched from I said I can only play inside because of my news so I did that for a
00:07:15
long time but then I now I just I don't know I feel like I'm gonna really hurt
00:07:19
myself do your knees know the difference yeah because when you play outside like
00:07:26
on a playground or something it's there's it's um you know it's not um
00:07:30
it's just pavement like oh okay you wouldn't understand it's an athletic
00:07:35
thing but so you guys are always part of the cool group David you guys are part you're
00:07:42
cool celebrities both of you I just put it together listen Sarah I have a question I get two in a row Dana by the
00:07:49
way me and Dan do not know David is fine I love your show and it's so interesting
00:07:54
and now the pressure's on because I feel like oh God I don't but um but I was
00:07:58
talking to I don't know if either of you remember um Jonathan Katz the great Jonathan Katz
00:08:04
yes oh comedian yeah yeah Dr Katz professional therapist yeah yeah yeah of course 100 yeah I was talking to him
00:08:11
yesterday and um he was like have you heard the fly on the wall podcast with Dana Carvey and David Spade and was like
00:08:19
I'm gonna be on it tomorrow oh geez now I'm feeling the pressure what is
00:08:24
Jonathan hearing that we're not because we usually kind of take a nap after this
00:08:29
and sort of reassess life and interesting well you know Dana I had some lady in front of uh Jersey Mike's yesterday say
00:08:36
she saw it you know what's funny or she heard it but you know what's funny Sarah
00:08:40
have you ever done this someone goes like uh hey weren't you on SNL I go thank you
00:08:46
and she and there was no compliment I just get nervous and say thanks and then silence I saw I saw you on
00:08:57
David Letterman and then nothing that's the most [ __ ] up I saw you do stand up and then silence my uh waiter
00:09:05
at this place I eat he's German and he goes hey there was a there's a picture
00:09:08
of me of making about the IHOP on Holloway no I wish that's where I used to go every single day for two years uh
00:09:17
this is another one and again the waiter goes because I was kissing a girl in a pool and I don't know something I took a
00:09:23
picture a couple years ago and he goes hey and it was in all these websites because she was
00:09:29
marginally attractive and I'm sickening so that's always a story so they go uh
00:09:34
we gotta get him to a therapist I see him he's talking about my friend David
00:09:39
like that no I like me so I said uh I could understand anyway so the joke was he came up and he goes hey little pool
00:09:48
party this weekend and I go and he goes a little fun in the sun huh a little uh splashing around and I go right and he
00:09:58
goes I saw pictures of you and I go yeah I know I know is this your German accent
00:10:04
yeah maybe it's not Germany okay slightly slightly maybe it's the valley
00:10:08
so then he goes uh he goes hey and then he goes but then they showed you getting
00:10:14
on the water and you look fat why do you want them to have pictures like that I go why do I want the paparazzi do
00:10:21
[ __ ] get out Works he goes you look bad and some of the pictures I was like well I can't believe it I go do not you
00:10:29
are from somewhere else because you think I picked they take 100 pictures and they have a Jeweler's Loop and they
00:10:34
find the grossest one and go this is the one we're going with run with it so this is a random fan saying this too
00:10:43
it's like a friend fan but he's just he's very I think he was half being
00:10:47
funny but he half didn't know that I don't sit with the uh editorial at Daily
00:10:52
Mail and go I think I look better in this one they're like you know what great if you look better and you like it
00:10:57
the Daily Mail fills so many pages with so much minutiae yeah it's crack cocaine you you go you're on
00:11:05
that thing and man the little pictures on the side and that guy's in a bathing
00:11:08
suit and they're over there it's so exciting there's people in there that I
00:11:11
don't even know and I go why am I and they're there every day and I go are
00:11:15
they paying to be on here because there's no reason we should be knowing anything it's so I you know I really
00:11:21
it's not like I'm Britney Spears or something it already beats I was like I
00:11:25
don't know if they're around I never seen them pop up unless I want to like
00:11:29
Google myself like I was you know like like Sasha baronco and we were meeting for dinner in New York and he's like
00:11:36
well if we go here will there be Paparazzi I go I don't know do you read US Weekly
00:11:41
like how is that a part of your life but um yeah it's something scandalous we're
00:11:48
just getting some noshed more photographed right if you're at a beach in a bikini or you're on a yacht
00:11:54
off Italy you know that it got telephotos on you right I mean I have friends from New Hampshire
00:12:00
like do you call them and tell them where you'll be and like why would I call them when I'm walking uphill in
00:12:08
sweat walking my dog looking like 18 zits on my I was wearing a hat and sunglasses
00:12:15
stuff for a while I don't know I was allergic to fame and I think at one point my wife said I don't think
00:12:19
anyone's paying attention Okay it is true it is true nor should they but yeah but there are the dirty
00:12:28
secret Dana is that there are probably 50 percent of that is called in now it's places that you never see Paparazzi
00:12:44
there's a couple places you kind of know and then it's like they're coming out of
00:12:47
the Rite Aid and uh you know Topanga and it's like we got them and I'm like let's
00:12:51
see how to call someone have them drive out there get them and then either they split the money if they're a bigger star
00:12:57
but if they're not a big star they just hope they sell it somewhere they just
00:13:01
hope they get it out there well I remember one time I picked my mom up years ago at the airport she was coming
00:13:06
to visit and you know I was just and you know at the airport you just get like sloppy thirds
00:13:12
or what like there's there for someone big and then they just see and then the
00:13:17
airlines you know like so I pick up my mom and there's and there's like TMZ or Paparazzi just
00:13:23
walking the whole way to the car and I'm just you know you know you're it's like
00:13:27
stuff with your mom when you're a daughter it's there's so much you know
00:13:30
and she's just loving it and talking to them and stopping and talking to them
00:13:35
and I'm like Mom let's you know and if I you know you can't like be upset in
00:13:39
front of yourself let's just get in the car you know you know and she's driving
00:13:44
me insane for because she loves it so much and we get in the car and she goes well
00:13:49
I don't know why you're in such a rush I mean they're just doing their job I said
00:13:53
Mom the greatest thing that could happen to them is that we but we get into a car
00:13:58
accident and die right now and they have the last pictures of you know like that
00:14:02
yeah that's true it's not beautiful like it's yeah that's so cute yeah if it's
00:14:07
outrageous you know I don't care but it's just like Dana one time I walk in a
00:14:12
restaurant and there's all these like super famous people and it's you know
00:14:15
obviously they told me later women sell better you know because they get in all the magazines and what they're wearing a
00:14:20
lot so I walk in and I go nothing guys and then he does it from the waist he he has his camera and just from his waist
00:14:28
goes yes that's two flashes and I go you don't even lift it up to your eye and look
00:14:36
through it he goes now I know what I'm doing I go well I better see that somewhere oh
00:14:42
we're sad little celebrities I remember Jimmy Kimmel um he he said he's actually overheard like his show
00:14:49
had just started and but he was he was talk so it just started and he got like Paparazzi and then he walked
00:14:58
Pat around the corner and walked past the same guy that took his picture and he was on the phone and he overheard him
00:15:04
go like man that's really slow day it's so it's such a they always check
00:15:11
you to remind you what level you are in the business so sickening do your feelings get hurt easily in Show
00:15:17
Business Sarah you feel you're tougher than you should be I think so really anymore I still you know like I get
00:15:23
fired from things or unhired from things and I I don't think it's you personally
00:15:28
I get I got hired the the this writer director wrote this series that's coming
00:15:35
out on a streaming platform and nights in general right her you know he emailed me said will you play this role it's a
00:15:44
rabbi and it's like a drama you know and I was like yeah that's cool you know
00:15:49
it's like this you know there's like scenes under a water and it's it's like
00:15:53
this futuristic whatever nice and it has a whole she's in other episodes but then
00:15:58
she has like one whole episode and I was like great and I'm you know I have the
00:16:02
script and I'm there's dates and everything and then he emails me back and he said Sarah I'm
00:16:08
so horrified the something plus people um said no and I I didn't know that was
00:16:20
even a thing like I thought I could hire anyone I wanted but they said no then I
00:16:25
go don't worry you know for in a way it like feels like relief like you know
00:16:30
when people cancel plans and you're like ah you know like oh yeah it's relief
00:16:35
because I you know of course I stress about it because I want to do a good job but I mean part of me is like
00:16:41
I I don't understand why I'm a part of me does understand why so I just you
00:16:46
know what do you like so do you get when you get hired for corporate gigs or anything do you have to tell them ahead
00:16:51
of time does does your do they know what they're getting sometimes or do you
00:16:56
adapt to a situation because with me sometimes they oh yeah they know what they're getting right so they go they
00:17:02
think they know what they want yeah yeah I mean there's definitely a time where I
00:17:05
would have my manager like when I did the Ted Talk that they then wouldn't post
00:17:12
um what that's right manager called back three different times and say she just
00:17:17
wants to make sure you because she loves TED talks and she you know I always watch them with my mom and
00:17:22
she just wants to make sure you know what she is and what she does and I really in Earnest like planned the whole
00:17:30
18 minutes I was so excited and it did well and the crowd loved it but yeah they wouldn't post it for many
00:17:38
years and you can I ask why I mean they why why did they not want to post it I don't know but it was a whole long drama
00:17:46
where the the head of the TED Talks Ted surrender who had called and like reassured me we want you it's about all
00:17:55
different voices oh my gosh like that was awful and I was just like covering their ass
00:18:05
yeah it was so shitty he's apologized many times since over the years because
00:18:10
uh you know I but I you know you when you mess with the comedian it's hard because
00:18:16
then I was like talked about it on like Real Time with Bill Martin this was like
00:18:20
yeah you know it like it murdered him and and um he called my managers like could we have
00:18:27
a truce you know sure of course yeah you know I I did it in such Earnest and then like
00:18:35
yeah I mean I yeah sometimes someone will tell you out of corporate data CEO or something oh yeah you go Blue Man Go
00:18:43
kid you know say [ __ ] whatever you want you're like well okay I don't even use
00:18:46
[ __ ] that much but I dropped a few and then the booker is kind of like not good
00:18:51
man not good you know I go but the CEO told me to do it they're like that guy didn't even work
00:18:56
there I've had people come backstage and go just [ __ ] around and I go what do you
00:18:59
do here he goes oh I'm friends with the guy that booked you I'm like oh well I
00:19:03
don't know if I'm going to be going by you because you're leaving right after
00:19:06
and then I have to deal with they don't want to pay you I mean yeah I don't want
00:19:09
to disrespect anyone like those corporate gigs are like you know they suck and I appreciate them so much
00:19:16
because they're just like it's like how famous people used to do commercials in
00:19:21
Japan like it's just this hidden thing where you make money you know you make
00:19:26
more than a regular gig like three times you could do is like a c plus then you walk out of there so happy yeah and they
00:19:33
go oh we want you to be crazy and then they're like you know that when you talk
00:19:37
about coming in God's mouth or something I know you know a bit on that too I got
00:19:42
one of those coming [Music] okay go ahead ask her something good Dana um I look at your stuff today I saw you on
00:20:00
Conan in 93 . oh my God one thing that hit me is like you're like this you were so cute and so sweet and
00:20:10
innocent it was like it really was Charming but you were like 21 or two you started stand up at 17. So within four
00:20:18
years you're on television that's pretty good how did you like what how did how did
00:20:25
you get that good that fast a lot of people takes 10 years were you headlining clubs when you went on Conan
00:20:30
or no no you they just saw you at the Improv and set spots around town okay but I yeah I got you know I'm from New
00:20:41
Hampshire so but like I went to this High School where they had assemblies and they'd let me do like three minutes
00:20:47
you know at assemblies and stuff or like my math teacher would let me tell like one joke at the beginning of class and
00:20:55
then I had to be quiet and that was our deal but um and then I but when I moved to New
00:21:02
York I I went to NYU and I just went for one year because I I've always been a very good student
00:21:09
I've never not done my homework you know but then I was working at a comedy club
00:21:13
passing out flyers from like 4 P.M to uh 2 A.M every day and then going to classes and I was sleeping through my
00:21:23
classes and it I'm not like that student like I was like pinching myself trying
00:21:27
to stay awake I couldn't keep my eyes open and I so I my dad said if you quit college I'll pay your like rent and
00:21:37
utilities like 300 450 for the next three years like it's your sophomore junior senior year and then you're on
00:21:45
your own so it was a great deal because I did steal classes because I had all these
00:21:51
like numbnuts friends that were like rich and going to NYU and didn't even want to go to classes you know so but um
00:21:59
then I could just really focus on stand up and then by the time I would have been us would have graduated I was
00:22:05
working with you on Saturday Night Live but you know I mean I was only there one
00:22:09
year and then I got fired and then for a while I didn't know if I was in show
00:22:12
business anymore were you kind of like Woody Allen Woody Allen Steven Wright sort of influenced
00:22:18
in the early days or who was who were you kind of looking up to as a stand-up when you started I mean Steve Martin was
00:22:25
my or Steve Martin well I don't you know like I yeah it's funny because in my the
00:22:30
house I grew up in my room was like the attic and uh on the ceiling and pencil I
00:22:37
wrote I love Steve Martin with the heart around it and uh it always was there and
00:22:42
now then my mom died and my we my sister sold the house and they the Realtors uh came to one of
00:22:50
my shows in Boston and brought me a picture they redid the whole house but they saved that one square ceiling so
00:22:58
it's still there wow he was a big one for me too I knew all the albums it was
00:23:03
the first thing I was memorizing oh my God I I just love them so much and but I bet who I was I imitated so all the
00:23:13
people influenced around me at the beginning before dice you remind me of dice when I see my early stuff like they
00:23:21
talked like this today I'm just really earliest and you know the great one-liners
00:23:28
great one-liners though which I can't write so when someone writes a great one-liner you know like Woody Allen or
00:23:35
Steven Wright those two and you could yeah that skill set so yeah my mom had a Woody Allen double album that where he's
00:23:42
at like a nightclub you know it's just like this watch is very special to me my
00:23:46
uncle on his deathbed sold me this one yeah it's all that misdirection yeah sure you know oh so they saw you have
00:23:56
you done any gigs like when I was doing stand-up I had only been I only got to New York once at my friend hired me to
00:24:03
open for her company at something open for Ray Charles at their it was a corporate gig I actually I got 1500
00:24:10
bucks I bought miserably but I had never even been to New York and then I went back and then by the time I got SNL I'd
00:24:16
really maybe only been there twice were you ever going out west and doing gigs or everything's pretty much back east in
00:24:23
stand up right no I had done um no I had done two things in Los Angeles I did comic strip live and evening Club so
00:24:34
they wanted that tape you know yeah you saw that and it was it Marcy or who brought you in to see Lauren or did
00:24:42
they just call you um Marcy Klein or Marcy Klein I'm but I met with Lauren and Jim Downey in uh in
00:24:52
L.A I've met with Lauren in LA because he was at Paramount and and uh I remember I just read like
00:25:00
Saturday night so I just like I went into the meeting with Lauren and just asked him a million questions you know
00:25:06
and I feel like that was like a good move because he's a rock Contour you know yeah sure and um oh you read the
00:25:14
book Chevy was always like that you know I I remember I asked to keep I go like why are you you're a performer like why
00:25:21
didn't you don't like you oh but um you know like so but and then they invited me to the Coneheads Premiere
00:25:31
nice and that's when they found out I got I know hired as a writer oh I was there I was there and you know there
00:25:40
weren't phones or anything so I was like I just went to the bathroom and sat in a
00:25:43
stall and was like oh I just wouldn't call my mom you know yeah and you uh got so they told you at
00:25:50
the corners Premiere and then you didn't know what to do with that you're like I
00:25:52
can't focus on this stupid movie wow so what did you so your first week there I mean who did you hook up with I
00:26:01
mean did you have friends right away or someone you knew from stand up or were you like alone with David
00:26:07
and Jay Moore too and stand up I was hired too who I loved but I know him well and we you know I got to know
00:26:17
him there so you came in with three other newbies right so four of you that were coming in yeah but I was the first
00:26:24
day Lauren like matched me up with these three writers who were also my age and new Dave Mandel yeah Lou Morton
00:26:34
Steve luckner who's become like a right-wing he found his little niche and uh you know look you're right your
00:26:43
business doesn't give you what you feel you have earned because you went to the
00:26:47
Harper Lampoon it can make you bitter and then you go oh right she finds me real funny but
00:26:54
um you know where the love is I'm fascinated how do you spell that Steve oh I know but anyway they he said no you
00:27:02
all hanging out you're all you're all 22 and you know and they're all from
00:27:05
Harvard and we spent the whole day together we went to like a cat the cafeteria which I
00:27:11
don't think I ever went to again and and at the end of the whole day of hanging
00:27:15
out I remember one of the most like so you're what are you like a typist they thought I was one of the typists
00:27:23
and I was just like no I'm a writer like you you [ __ ] [ __ ] wow what they don't realize there was like a
00:27:32
madman room where there was four girls typing the sketches for you yeah I mean computers existed but not there it was
00:27:40
like we you rode in longhand on yeah and it looked crazy and I can't believe
00:27:45
anyone can follow it and then these like genius typists in a real typist Claire like an army yeah they go through Ellie
00:27:53
Claire uh I remember writing on those uh legal pads because you just had like a wooden desk and a legal pad and they're
00:27:58
like okay see it read through and you go what am I doing here I don't even know
00:28:02
how to write a sketch I don't know anything and you gotta figure as you go I guess Dana was gone when you got there
00:28:07
yeah he had just left and I remember you I saw you you came back one day and you came down like an
00:28:15
elevator I had never seen before and got off the Vietnam I saw you walk with a few people and I was like really
00:28:22
I can't secret elevator he came back for a victory I was I still no one tells you
00:28:26
your way around no one tells you how things work no like I remember I got my first
00:28:32
sketch that I had written by myself on and I was so excited John Malkovich was the host
00:28:37
and it went great in dress rehearsal and then this was my first time like having
00:28:43
something so then we're all sitting like on the floor in Lauren's office after
00:28:47
dress and I remember I was on the floor and Malkovich was sitting in a chair like
00:28:53
next to me high up and he looks down he goes I'm so sorry I I really messed up a
00:28:58
line and dress and I go don't worry about it you'll you'll get it on the air
00:29:01
it'll be great and Mike Myers goes it's got look it's on the left side about the
00:29:07
line it's like shut up it's cut you know I have a show idea like I I just no one
00:29:12
tells you you just you're thrown in you know like right you walk in after dress
00:29:17
and they'd pick the for the audience they picked the sketches while you sweat
00:29:21
it out outside the door and then they finally open and go you can go in and then you walk in and you immediately
00:29:27
look at the wall and like three sketches are moved out like they got caught maybe
00:29:31
an updated piece I know what I'm saying that's how I learned that right so you
00:29:35
sit down and then and then you go oh look behind you Sarah it's cut no one ever goes here's how it works you walk
00:29:41
in you look and then you still try to put on a brave face even though you're
00:29:45
not gonna be in the show and so you just sit on the floor while they do a whole meeting and all you can
00:29:50
think of is I'm not even in this one you know I I was like I enjoy being oh I was not coming back so I'm ready
00:30:01
for the next season I'm thinking like this is gonna be my idea you know what I never
00:30:09
I'm getting fired like even still and I still do you know I do all the time you
00:30:14
know I get tired a lot but I still get fired from this you know and uh like before anything that happens but yeah I
00:30:20
was I was yeah I had never occurred to me you know you're not a big compromiser it doesn't
00:30:26
seem so you do your act and I've seen you recently even go on and I always just like to sit back and watch and see
00:30:33
what you're coming up with um and it's always fun to see that you're still you still try you still
00:30:39
work hard I do the same thing when I do stand up I still like it I still try it's fine let me get it back up there
00:30:44
and I like when you crawl on the piano I like when you uh you just have your own
00:30:48
unique thing and then your jokes are always so clever I go goddamn but at least it's not like oh this is this type
00:30:58
of comedian that everyone's doing you're always got your angle and that's why
00:31:02
when people might fire you it's it's in a weird way a compliment maybe one
00:31:07
percent a comma but um that they go this she's just thinking out of the box which
00:31:13
is what you want from someone but they don't really handle it well they go no
00:31:16
no we want the regular stuff you come off so confident Sarah I just wonder if do you have situations coming up or in
00:31:23
stand up sometimes like me I just go mayday mayday I must kill desperate eyes you know not gonna do it you know but
00:31:31
you always seem you know what I mean just like well that's better but you seem Serene and confident it's very
00:31:37
pleasant to watch and I think part of the reason your specials were so well received is because that you're not
00:31:45
pushing ever you're letting the audience come to you I mean is that intentional
00:31:49
it's just your nature or because you do seem so calm and confident doing I don't really think about I don't
00:31:56
feel that way you know but I definitely have learned from so many people like when you said
00:32:02
that it makes me think of I remember seeing Chris Rock at the comic strip years ago and it was before he was who
00:32:13
he is now like pacing and louder and like you know he hadn't everyone changes
00:32:18
and grows and you know but he was quiet on stage and he'd go on and like the
00:32:24
comic strip was like it's like a zoo like people are the audiences are crazy
00:32:28
you know yeah and he he would just um just start and and not be loud to get the audience to hear him so it was like
00:32:41
there was no desperation and if they if the audience missed the first two or three jokes that's their problem and so
00:32:48
they all got quiet and leaned in and I go I noticed it you know I was like oh wow he's so much more powerful being
00:32:56
quiet than going like you know I would be like hey everyone um um dogs are funny
00:33:03
and that's like what a teacher would do like it and it's it's it you can it's
00:33:08
sweaty like there's you an audience can they don't no they couldn't probably
00:33:13
articulate this but like an audience can smell desperation you know right it doesn't help you to like you've got to
00:33:21
get yourself in a place where you're like all right enough for everyone but uh the last thing I always say right
00:33:27
before I got if I remember to remember it is have fun and I remember telling John lovitzack he credits me with
00:33:34
coaching him but I only gave him a couple tips but it's very sweet about him I said John remember you got to have
00:33:38
fun right before you go out thank you for saying that it saved me so much time you know and the other thing was there's
00:33:45
a huge difference to remember that massive you can forget in a second and then you're five minutes in and you
00:33:51
realize I'm not having fun right now what what happen you know because you got it they pick it up but
00:33:57
um John also they're honest they also like appreciate that like I I've got I feel
00:34:05
like there have been a few times where I'm like for some reason or whatever's
00:34:08
going on in my life and I'm not a big crier I was like sobbing that day and thinking like and then like thinking
00:34:15
about how of a spot that night just being like I don't feel funny you know like nothing's funny and those are all
00:34:22
these nights I have good do you you know what I mean like you're always surprised
00:34:25
that you have a good set that night because there's something like cathartic
00:34:29
comes out or I don't know it's like when you're sick and you got to do a set and
00:34:34
then you have a great set because you go I just got to do the set I don't have to
00:34:37
kill or not kill there's no pressure I'm just lucky I'm here I have bronchitis
00:34:41
you know so yes but oh Sarah I got a question when you go up sometimes Dana she brings a.m that might be an issue
00:34:48
for you too later what did I do hmm you did interrupt Dana I did but I thought he was finished with his where we like
00:34:56
to interrupt each other we feel it's a good good energy David okay David go ahead my question is
00:35:03
David Spade because he just made me think of this but we we do it all the time um you have sometimes a notebook when
00:35:09
you go up or a pad you know and and do you think sometimes it puts less pressure on jokes because I sometimes
00:35:18
rarely but because I want to read it I want to get it right like I'll just go
00:35:22
hey I'm going to do this and it it's almost funnier to them that I have no belief in it sort of and
00:35:29
then later I do without it it doesn't work as well brain damage from uh so much like marijuana use or I don't
00:35:43
know like I feel like I'm getting like early I'm so terrified of getting
00:35:47
dementia but I so I you know and I want to just be able to be loose but I I can't be loose if I'm like reaching for
00:35:56
like you know what I mean at a certain point when you're on the road you remember everything but but I do concede
00:36:02
that having a notebook gets you a lot of um because they feel like you're working on
00:36:12
stuff that it has if they have a it's the jokes have a feeling of immediacy that give them a lot more credit for the
00:36:20
audience when it's something like oh yeah I'm looking at my notebook but I do know
00:36:25
this works you know yeah so it sometimes I don't know but like you know but when
00:36:31
but when you're trying new things they always give you like 10 times more leeway you know well I think wasn't it
00:36:38
called the alt comedy you know in Largo where you would comment on your at comment you know be very open you know
00:36:45
the first time I played in the first couple times I felt very uncomfortable because I was like a road comic from the
00:36:50
80s and then then I finally I just had Nick Kroll interview me or anything where I'd be tipped off just doing bits
00:36:59
and so I think that you're kind of one of the you know the the leaders of that
00:37:04
movement in a way that authenticity or at least that's a Vibe I get you know
00:37:08
the audience feels like you're being very very real with them and not just doing bits well I always think like it's
00:37:14
funny when either of you guys are like nervous at Largo because like you kill that Largo they love comedy they're like
00:37:21
the great thing about the audience there is they're they're just huge comedy fans
00:37:26
they just want to like drink you up however you want to serve it you know but it's like just because like what you
00:37:32
do works on the road doesn't mean it won't kill at Largo like it has to be
00:37:36
some experimental like anti-comedy thing or it not at all like you know sometimes
00:37:42
sometimes your heroes are in the wings like Martin Short is there or Bill Hader is going to watch me do stand up people
00:37:48
I really admire and they kind of see how they know how the rabbit gets out of the
00:37:52
Hat because you're sort of working so I feel like in that situation it's better
00:37:56
to have loose notes here's what happened to me today and go with it but um I like
00:38:01
that style so that's what I do now but not at a corporate date [Music] Flanagan's coming over at 12 30. that's
00:38:13
the guy from Largo he runs Largo yeah flanny I heard you guys talking about him yeah
00:38:19
he's he's as good as they come on SNL would you change anything when you were
00:38:25
there because you only did a year you didn't have a prep because you remember
00:38:27
I think I thought I was coming back too uh was there a thing you could have done
00:38:33
while you were there or is it just the way it was going to be I mean I yeah I think it's just the way it was
00:38:38
going to be I did the best I could for my age and my experience you know like I know you're so young very young did you
00:38:45
do any update features because it seems like if you're coming in there and you're not acclimating because that's
00:38:50
like stand up in a way I did one update and but it was an update that like I had
00:38:58
to submit and submit like first it was in dress and then it got cut and then like you know people said like you can
00:39:06
resubmit it or whatever and then I remember Rob Schneider going like I can't believe you're shoving that update
00:39:10
because she's on our boots again and I was like my heart just like went in my
00:39:15
stomach you know like what are you doing they don't want that come on gotta be
00:39:20
original it's got a stink on it it's true and I wasn't I was a kid and I felt
00:39:26
like I was working with grown-ups and then I felt like these grown-ups can be still me like I didn't know grown-ups
00:39:35
were that way you know because I had only been known grown-ups to be like friends parents
00:39:40
like like um colleagues you know if I got on that show at age 22 I would I never would have lasted I I would not
00:39:49
have had the confidence or the experience to do it at that age you know Eddie Murphy did it he was amazing at
00:39:56
19. that's still like a shooting star there's never been anyone that confident
00:40:00
at 19. but yeah but for you I think it was just your age because I think you I think you should go back to that show
00:40:07
I'm so Earnest and I remember I wrote this sketch that like had some like like um said something like you know
00:40:16
you're like I can't remember what it was but it was like had like um it was about like racism or something
00:40:23
I was trying to like earnestly like use comedy to say something and it was just not and then and I remember at one point
00:40:31
I had Farley said like or something like that like Rio H and he just went at the
00:40:37
table where he just went Doh no was it a door do you think he took a dive or did he do it on purpose
00:40:46
so whatever but I I think I my best there was um like on punch-up nights because I
00:40:59
could I contributed well and and like pawn shops and I was so in love with Jim Downey it's like
00:41:06
heartbreakingly in love with him but you know he was like a you know and does he
00:41:11
know about this or is he hearing this from this oh no I'm sure I'm sure I came on very strong in my own
00:41:18
way but I was like he was like a grown-up you know and but I remember writing a sketch and saying like can you
00:41:25
help me with it and he said yeah and I think it was when Martin Lawrence was hosting
00:41:32
because his friend wrote there and was like came um Bowman or I don't know I can't
00:41:39
remember John Martin's friends maybe no one of Jim Downey's friends so then they
00:41:45
were hanging out in his office and he said just wait outside my office until I'm done here and I fell asleep and then
00:41:51
it I woke up and it was the morning and he was just coming out and I go are you ready for me and he's like
00:41:59
For What and I go I gave you my skit script script and he's like I don't I
00:42:04
don't know I don't have it down but I mean you know I love him though I mean of course I still love him
00:42:12
it's like a teacher it's like you being like a college girl and that's your
00:42:15
professor right yeah yeah Jim is definitely one of the smartest people I've ever met I've met a lot I love them
00:42:23
so much but it was a different time for sure when you say David a different time a
00:42:31
thousand percent I remember didn't you stab Franken for some reason yeah I did accidentally
00:42:38
stabbed out Frankie okay so for some reason at um table at um pawn shop and you know
00:42:48
they had this really sharp pencils and a big thing yeah yeah you know and I was like leaning back and like I had my
00:42:54
pencils all sharp and he had like a really big like fro you know Jewish hair and um I remember just like my brain was
00:43:04
drifting and I just thought like oh I could like stab this pencil through his hair
00:43:10
but what people saw was I just turned and stabbed them and I hit his Temple and it looked insane not him in the
00:43:19
temple and I remember him just going like sorry that's what he said why why and I couldn't answer because I was
00:43:33
laughing so hard and tears were pouring down my face and I looked like a crazy person that just stabbed out Frank and
00:43:39
then laughed oh man like put into words like oh in my head it would go through your hair you
00:43:47
know there's no I'm not crazy way to explain that I wish I was overlapped
00:43:53
with you for a year because yeah we could I would have had you on Church chat we would have had you in Wayne's
00:43:59
World we would have had you a Hans and Franz you think that now but it feels like such your ways because you're such
00:44:05
a smart writer that it just wasn't the time for you to hatch all these things
00:44:09
because later in your life I think your stand-up is also known for being very personal and you say so many things
00:44:15
about your life and anything you're thinking you pretty much say it seems so
00:44:19
or a lot of it that's something you need to remember like I wasn't me now then no
00:44:23
I'm saying it's kind of SNL now like you're saying about racism stuff SNL now does do a lot of
00:44:34
personalized things and they do do a lot of political things or what people are thinking or people take a stand on stuff
00:44:40
but back then like you're saying it was a different time of course on every front it was sort of different you know
00:44:46
but I'm so exhausted with like things that have something to say which I do like I love being just aggressively dumb
00:44:53
and silly right more than anything I told someone I was like my comedy is not important and in this day and age it
00:45:00
feels like it's got to be important and then you go you know I'm just trying to
00:45:03
get it it's important because your comedy is important because it's it's
00:45:08
not that it's it's not the lowest common scenario it's genuinely both of you so
00:45:13
belly laugh funny and everyone can enjoy it like it doesn't divide anyone which
00:45:19
is massively important um I I yeah I mean you I I appreciate it more and more all the time because if
00:45:26
life beats the [ __ ] out of you and you have people come up to you and maybe if
00:45:30
you're 35 or something they say I really needed that tonight but now it resonates
00:45:34
with me so if you can get someone to belly laugh because you can't worry and
00:45:39
Billy laugh at the same time I mean it's brain brain candy like watching a great
00:45:43
show or watching the movie marry me which my wife and I loved you in that movie well you know what's funny about
00:45:49
that it's so good that they held it for so long because by the time it came out
00:45:53
you know even like cynical [ __ ] like us are like yeah I just want to feel good
00:45:58
for an hour like really ready to watch that movie yes because of the pandemic in Ukraine or whatever it was just like
00:46:05
and then you were just the perfect sidekick in the movie like didn't every line just land perfectly but anyway
00:46:12
um you want to talk therapy for a little bit yeah only fans I'll give you I'll
00:46:19
give you top picks I used to wet the bed too for your book you did yeah yeah I was a champ
00:46:25
for how when did you stop uh you know probably somewhere around 12 to 14 I think
00:46:35
um the story I remember the most is there were five kids two parents and we're in a Cadillac going driving
00:46:41
through Montana old-fashioned Cadillac and we couldn't find a hotel so we had
00:46:45
to sleep in the car that night it was a three-seater of 1958 Cadillac so I got the spot where the transmission goes you
00:46:52
know behind the seat the hump I'm in a sleeping bag in the hump and then the
00:46:56
next thing I know waking up is I hear my brother and my mom looking down at me and talking about this giant wet spot on
00:47:03
the sleeping bag so like yeah I guess he's well should we wake him up I don't
00:47:06
know I went to bed I'd heard that and there there was just no dignified way to
00:47:12
get out of that wet bag you unzip it you stand up okay you gotta own it but and you know I I never felt that bad about
00:47:21
it though because I just thought I was just a heavy sleeper I didn't feel shame
00:47:26
like sleepovers were terrifying I just like pinched myself awake all night you know like and I yeah friends that were
00:47:35
twins Lori and Amy Martin they were my best friends and they knew I was a bed worker so you know and but I would
00:47:41
really try and like their mom would wake me up before she went to bed and like take me to Pizza but so one night I
00:47:47
remember waking up in Amy's room on my sleeping bag and I had wet and my heart
00:47:52
was pounding I didn't know what to do so I flipped it yeah so the circle was up
00:47:58
and I so then when Amy came in I go I wet the bed but it went up so you don't
00:48:05
have to tell your parents you know like it didn't get on the floor yeah but um
00:48:11
sometimes you would just move over and sleep sleep on the dry side yeah and just let it feeling when you wake up and
00:48:18
you're like you feel warm and you're like did I wet the bed and then you'd
00:48:23
have to move just a little bit and if you felt that whoosh of cold and air you knew that you peed you know it was like
00:48:29
so awful I remember I my first sleepover party was at this girl's house and the
00:48:35
mother was like [ __ ] [ __ ] and the worst thing was this is actually my music um they have a musical opening April
00:48:45
30th in New York and it's called the bed weather it's I'm not in it it's a year
00:48:50
I'm tense little girl and it has this scene in it where I I didn't know it was
00:48:56
a sleepover and then they're like oh you have to sleep over you know and then I
00:49:00
tried to like tell my mom and and they're all listening and she's like are
00:49:04
you sure you want to sleep over and I have to say yes because they're on the
00:49:07
other line like listening and then I have to borrow pajamas her mother made her daughter she was like a
00:49:14
pageant mom so I'm in these like I'm seven and wearing these sexy Harem pajamas sleeping in their sleeping bag
00:49:22
and I wake up drenched and I'm sorry excited and I just am like from having to go to a sleepover Camp every year I I
00:49:32
had just had this mechanism of disassociation where I just like got changed with all the other girls and it
00:49:40
was wet but I just it probably stank I just didn't acknowledge it and then Heather's mom walks in and she steps
00:49:47
right in my wet clothes and this is what a mother of seven-year-olds does she picks up the wet clothes and she goes
00:49:57
and I'm just standing there like out of body and I swear to God it's 1978 or I don't know when it was and the
00:50:06
just as I'm thinking like am I supposed to say something or can I just I'm not
00:50:11
gonna and then the father came in and went oh this side like Elvis Presley dying saved my life
00:50:19
because I was able to just like get picked up and get out of there while they were like so upset the King died
00:50:26
it's one of those non-sequitors that Elvis saved that humiliation did you wet
00:50:31
the bed every night then because mine was more interstitial but it was fairly consistent it was a lot of the time and
00:50:38
uh hmm and it was until I was like 15. and then a couple of times as an adult like when I got fired from Saturday
00:50:46
Night Live I remember I wet the bed like three times in that week and it was with
00:50:51
three different in three different men's beds oh wow what yeah because I you know I liked
00:50:59
um sex I it was so new to me I lost my virginity as a as a comedian I was 19. so I was just like after that I loved it
00:51:07
and I was like what do his balls look like what do his balls look like what do his balls look like
00:51:11
now did you um were your friends like that as well at 19 like would you call yourself
00:51:18
promiscuous at that point uh or once when I lost my virginity at 19 like through the year of being 20
00:51:26
yeah yes I like kept Noxzema in my backpack so I can wash my face wherever I landed
00:51:33
but um I didn't regret it I got a terrible reputation I was a [ __ ] meanwhile all the guys are [ __ ]
00:51:39
different waitresses every single night you know well yeah there's a difference
00:51:43
these guys I know all of them still let's see I well no they don't it's not
00:51:49
like something from my past because they're comedians yeah yeah they're your
00:51:53
friends now wow that's cool I like that I I always thought it was a double standard why why do women they have a
00:52:00
one-night stand they're a [ __ ] oh yeah but all these guys that [ __ ] every
00:52:04
waitress on the road are were just like cool no no problem and they [ __ ] all the same girls and wow so when did you
00:52:12
what what are you looking for because just casually we as a public are fans of yours we sort of know your different
00:52:19
relationships and do you has it evolved who you look for or is it Whimsical or are you out there or are you currently
00:52:26
in a relationship I'm just oh no I'm yeah I'm I have a living love okay so
00:52:32
how many how uh well how's it going good I love him he's great I you know I
00:52:38
really felt like I was at a you know after my 20th year I was just in like back to back long-term relationship
00:52:45
right so it was that one crazy year of just wanting to experiment and then we'll continue I should have I did
00:52:51
everything right in my opinion but you know um yeah he's great he's he's a writer
00:52:59
producer he's so funny and um I really was at a place where I was really felt done like I I just feel like
00:53:08
I don't wanna I love love but I kind of want to share my bed anymore I really
00:53:12
you know I I got to a place in the past few years before meeting him like where I really became my own best friend and I
00:53:20
love being alone I love coming home and I love doing anything I want at all times and not disappointing anyone you
00:53:29
know I really didn't do it and then we met over the like at the beginning of quarantine like in the
00:53:35
March 2020 over um playing video games like um playing online Duty online Call of
00:53:43
Duty online cool yeah so every night at 705 we would meet online and kill Nazis together
00:53:51
and um you know I knew him a little bit we had mutual friends he's you know he's
00:53:55
a comedian and a writer he was the he ran The Daily Show with John Stewart for a long time okay
00:54:01
and do you feel like you've matured or have more confidence in a relationship
00:54:06
or how have you evolved you know because going into this one it was really good because I had I know what I want and
00:54:14
don't want and I could be very clear from the beginning in him too we both you know
00:54:21
like I I've had a I love my exes I have good taste in men I I you know I I met
00:54:28
several of them that you do have great taste in men I do and and I'm I love they're like they become like brothers
00:54:35
you know as you you know and and um and and uh but but with the reason why they didn't
00:54:46
work out I don't know specifically each thing I'm you know whatever but I always
00:54:51
felt like I was disappointing I I tried it's always my goal to be the best possible girlfriend and yet I still felt
00:55:00
like I was had that feeling like I'm disappointing this person in some way and I just I don't want I'm not I would
00:55:07
never cheat I'm I have total uh blinders you know not blind I mean in a good way you know if I'm with someone
00:55:15
I don't see men other men in a sexual way at all you know I'm very devoted but
00:55:21
I yes somehow I would feel like oh I'm disappointing there was always something
00:55:26
so it's nice to be with someone that I'm not I can just say like this is I'm at a
00:55:31
point where this is how I want things and he can say the same and we we talk about stuff it is Spade not on where
00:55:39
were you where were you David did you have to make a [ __ ] did you have to make a BM
00:55:45
we see him do you hear us we were just talking about relationships and love and I think I do sorry Sarah
00:55:53
whatever it happens you sound like you're drunk so it's like Sarah I'm so sorry that happened no I'm
00:56:04
kidding no I we had a situation here I don't want the people in room 29 there
00:56:11
was a oh um we're just talking about relationships and uh how Sarah's evolved
00:56:17
and has a a live-in lover and what how's that going uh you know I've been married
00:56:23
for 40 years you know yeah to six different women but my point is this no I say that every week my only joke I
00:56:29
ever wrote but I I do think with mine it was uh conflict you know afraid of conflict and then you bury the
00:56:37
resentment you're starting to carry anger around it you don't even know because you don't is this the Ant Hill I
00:56:43
die on right now or should I let it go by so um both my wife and I had five years of therapy so we're we're great
00:56:50
we're always good but we're better yeah I mean that's what Rory and I we'd
00:56:54
always go like face value I don't want to meet a relationship where I have to
00:56:58
decipher what you mean by what you say or like sure no that's fine oh no no if
00:57:05
I say it's fine it's fine and you know it's my responsibility to say like
00:57:12
I have a problem or with that if you know and not go like okay you know I mean then I just can't with that stuff
00:57:19
like so we just go face value like you know what I say is what I mean and that's how I would only expect you to
00:57:27
take it you know and it cuts out a lot of [ __ ] if you get into a place where you're actually both trying to
00:57:32
open the door for the person and it's really organic like I just really want
00:57:36
to help my wife and she really wants to help me and we're codependent in a positive way if you have a narcissist
00:57:42
and an empath and they get together all hell breaks loose because the narcissist
00:57:46
can't help but they don't know they are and they start to harvest and use and
00:57:50
abuse the empath so would you how are where are you on that gradient scale in your mind you seem like an empath well
00:57:56
the narcissist would say I'm the empath right okay funny maybe it's destructive though too
00:58:02
but go ahead you know that book by Alice Miller I think it's called Drama of the
00:58:07
gifted child it's big yes so I remember reading it and I met with a friend for
00:58:12
lunch and I go oh I just read this book it's called Drama of the gifted child
00:58:15
and she goes oh I heard a really interesting story about that it's originally titled drama of the
00:58:22
narcissistic child but they realized the people that would need to read it wouldn't so they they named a drama of
00:58:29
the gifted child and then I was like a little deflated and also like it really made me go like wow yeah but but I would
00:58:36
say just for myself uh empathetic people can be dysfunctional and passive aggressive and people pleasing like I
00:58:43
didn't even think that as self-congratulatory and we all have a combo but I did learn in therapy that um
00:58:50
you know it's very very good to try to get in touch with saying no on your inner narcissist if you're you want some
00:58:57
of that going in other words you draw boundaries this is it I won't take any
00:59:02
more of this and so that really helped me with that that was kind of patterns from my childhood crazy parents crazy
00:59:07
everything so [Music] it's funny somebody called into my podcast yesterday about sex workers like
00:59:18
just saying like um you know I I don't know how to feel about like porn and sex
00:59:23
workers like they should you know do what they want but aren't a lot of them
00:59:28
have like really traumatic pasts and you know and I you know I don't know the answer to this but I was
00:59:35
talking about I go like it's so funny because yes they probably have common trauma but so do comedians so do actors
00:59:42
so do uh politicians they have common traumas that drive them to want to do the X Y or Z you know yeah
00:59:51
all right guys so well I want to mention Sarah Silverman's podcast which I watch
00:59:57
and that's really fun on YouTube you know oh my gosh so you've been doing
01:00:01
that like for during the pandemic couple hundred shows or that's when I started I
01:00:06
was like I couldn't do stand up I couldn't fathom doing stand-up on Zoom like you know and
01:00:12
then I was like I I I'm gonna have to do a podcast because I you know I know
01:00:18
where to put this or like to generate even to like make a living just stand up you know yeah and keep your mind sharp
01:00:26
by you know improvising and stuff like that yeah I really I like it I mean it just the only thing about it is that
01:00:32
it's never ending you know like yeah I think I just you don't get a bunch of episodes and then
01:00:38
take a month off or you're just consistently churning them kind of um like I just shot this show and I had to
01:00:46
take two or three weeks off so but what I do is I talk forever and then they take
01:00:54
anything that can be Evergreen and save it so I do like stockpile stuff that isn't um like from this moment and then
01:01:04
like I'm when I go to New York to do the musical The bedwetter which opens April
01:01:10
30th at the Atlantic theater based on your book yeah yeah it's a little bit yeah one year
01:01:17
and uh BB new Earth is playing my Nana oh she's incredible I was thinking she's
01:01:24
too old to play 10. yeah no she's like a young sexy Nana from like with a Boston
01:01:29
accent and Sarah you get calls on voicemail and then you listen to them and answer them right yeah so so so we
01:01:36
so will bank I like banked some when I did my last one I did like a lot a ton of ads the ads are a little soul killing
01:01:44
but like I do look through them and like if they really have a bad like Better Business Bureau grade or something I say
01:01:51
no but I do a lot you know a lot of them I kind of like to own them I don't know
01:01:55
why it doesn't it's funny broadcaster yeah they seem fun Remember When Johnny
01:02:01
Carson would hold up Alpo and stuff like that you know just to go right at it but
01:02:06
it's really fun to fun to watch that show and your clothes change a lot I guess because they do edits because like
01:02:12
you have a blue shirt on and then they do a cut and then you have a yellow sweater on stuff yeah because it doesn't
01:02:17
matter with podcasts nobody cares mostly people hear it audio if they watch it on
01:02:21
YouTube yeah you'll see me in different outfits because it will be like stuff
01:02:25
from this week that week this week you know like more Evergreen things will just be from other weeks where I just go
01:02:33
and go and go you know but um yeah yeah the calls are like sometimes they're so
01:02:38
sad and I you know and I have to remember like I have to try to be funny at some point in this
01:02:43
episode this is like but I also like I'm so sorry you're you know Grandma
01:02:48
sometimes you're just giving girls serious advice which is kind of kind of cool
01:02:53
you know yeah you're actually it's funny because I like I did like this more
01:02:57
political show on Hulu and then I did a pilot for a political show on HBO and like you know again I'm like shocked
01:03:05
when they don't pick it up I'm like what I always think I'm putting gold in their
01:03:09
lap because I like it you know and but now I have no desire to do a play I just want to do dumb silly stuff because I've
01:03:16
got the podcast to talk about whatever I want to talk about and you know I just want to laugh big silly
01:03:23
stuff that's just uh you know why watched uh the second Pink Panther because my mother-in-law was in town
01:03:30
love slapstick with Peter Sellers uh revenge of the Pink Panther and it was just seeing her laugh at 91 from Dublin
01:03:37
belly laughing crazy and and then I started to do it you know it's such a joy you know those kinds of
01:03:44
old-fashioned movies just silly big set pieces that are relentlessly everything that could go wrong does go wrong and
01:03:52
Peter Sellers with this whole thing anyway that's like super Dave like he was like the yeah he was for me like I

01:06:25
and goes Super [ __ ] and he goes I'll take the soup [Laughter] [Applause] just take that to your I was nervous to
01:06:44
come on the show and I was listening and I wrote down something in case I didn't
01:06:48
think of anything because I was listening you're all talking about Saturday Night Live and everything and I
01:06:53
I had written one thing down which is not that but it's you know when I worked there I was
01:06:58
always like on the fourth row in read-throughs like way in the back and then I hosted one time and I you know
01:07:05
you get to sit right next to Lauren and uh I have like a terrible Sound Sensitivity misophonia like mouth sounds
01:07:14
and stuff that like make me insane the whole read through Lauren is eating baby carrots
01:07:23
I was like Out of Body Experience like it makes me like I can't even hear concentrate on anything I tried to like
01:07:31
Slide the the platter away like without anyone noticing he pulls it background and I remember he would do that and

01:08:02
of we kind of did it all too all right well thank you Sarah see we'll end it on one of these all right thank
01:08:09
you Sarah we have five endings bye bye Sarah [Music] fly on the wall has been a presentation
01:08:23
of cadence 13. please listen then rate review and follow all episodes executive produced by Dana Carvey and David Spade
01:08:31
Chris Corcoran of cadence 13 and Charlie finan of brillstein entertainment production and Engineering led by Greg
01:08:38
Holtzman Richard cook Serena Regan and Chris Basil of cadence 13. Johnny Byrne this is your question was
01:08:51
not about Adele but you say hi David and Dana I'm a 29 year old comic from Salt
01:08:56
Lake not Mormon uh who has been in Chicago for five years and just moved to L.A I'm sure you get this question a lot
01:09:02
but what advice would you have for someone who inspires Ben SNL you know that is a common question but
01:09:08
the only answer is and I get the question a lot about most about being comic is they have to find you I think
01:09:16
it's there's no secret advice from Me Maybe Dan has more he's he knows more
01:09:21
than me but if you're good even other Comics will help you get on other shows even people go you're good
01:09:27
it's kind of a weird thing but someone will say you're good and someone will say to their agent maybe you should
01:09:33
check this guy out and just getting stage time is probably my best advice as much as you can yeah first of all make
01:09:39
sure it's a passion because show business will break your heart they used to have people come to our College San
01:09:44
Francisco State wasn't a real college and they'd be like a regional actress or
01:09:48
did a couple commercials the first thing they'd always say is if you can do anything else in your life besides Show
01:09:54
Business do that only do that if you can't live without doing it so first of
01:09:58
all you've got to have the passion secondarily you just got to live on stage you got to either be a stand-up
01:10:03
living on stage work under material or go to the ground leads or second City do all the classes keep going networking
01:10:09
but the main thing is the passion and always look at your feet don't look at
01:10:14
I'm making it or while make it forget future tripping just like how good am I
01:10:19
today am I a little bit better today than it was I yesterday people say I'm gonna do this is free I'm not going to
01:10:26
charge anyone for this people say I I'm gonna try it for six months I'm gonna
01:10:29
try it for you if I don't make it what you do in that six months or a year you're probably going to be a lifer just
01:10:35
so you know are you really going to go back no so you go am I doing one percent better did I get one call back in this
01:10:41
year instead of zero I'm doing better it's an emotionally violent sport even
01:10:46
after you have success and you're in a big movie and it bombs or or you're at a
01:10:50
corporate date and you bomb so it's just emotionally violent it's also exhilarating I told myself early on I
01:10:56
said if David Spade ever gets on Saturday Night Live I'll quit Show Business
01:10:59
[Laughter] before SNL and I wasn't on SNL we're two civilians yeah and now we're here today
01:11:10
can you believe it so I legally adopted him 18 years ago because people on Instagram or is he your kid or what's
01:11:16
going on he is now hey son uh Johnny thank you for that and I hope that helps
