00:03:58
president you did so well and so beautifully. >> Got to do it. >> Yeah. You know that the way that
00:04:03
eventually Yeah. And uh it came it was a slur. You know, it's a there's a
00:04:08
Washington not it became not going to do it became not going to do it. And in Washington now there's a slur that is
00:04:15
commonly used >> commonly for a word that that is that is frequently employed in the in the trade
00:04:22
senator. Senator becomes sir sir. >> It's su remember su >> katan.
00:04:34
>> How genius was that guy? Su. Do you remember su? Noris. Chris katan. He did
00:04:40
the he did su because yeah I'm talking now I'm going to tell you how >> you know s the slur
00:04:48
>> yeah people slur all all the time >> yeah well a little bit now I think he a
00:04:54
little bit yeah >> can I do a six degrees of separate I don't that's the term I'm in college
00:05:00
you're doing Jimmy Carter on Saturday Night Live I'm recording it with a
00:05:04
cassette and trying to steal >> you know playing at little teeny clothes steal your Jimmy Carter
00:05:10
and was in awe of it. And then >> to use where what were you going >> in clubs? I was just trying to do what
00:05:16
you guys did. You guys were like to me like badass rebel pirates. >> Yeah.
00:05:22
>> I think of Bill Murray and you. >> We That's so accurate an analysis of us.
00:05:28
It re It really is. >> Well, I think Well, we were little. Look at us. We're like little We're tiny
00:05:33
people, but you guys were kind of strapping all over six feet. You would punch a guy or make him laugh. Yeah. But
00:05:40
um and so you do you you'd copy the Jimmy Well, Jimmy Carter, you know, he had that he had that eye contact and a
00:05:47
very soft way of approaching things and >> yeah, >> he ended up being, you know, one of the
00:05:51
great post presidents and uh really uh a giant figure. >> You know what's interesting about him?
00:05:57
Because I became fascinated by him because he's constantly referred to. So I read this book about him, could not
00:06:03
understand the idea of deficit spending. He was like, "I don't understand how we
00:06:08
take in this much money." Yeah. >> And we're gonna give out that much
00:06:11
money. It makes no sense to me. But uh my Jimmy Carter I do now, I still do all the presidents is that he had a nervous
00:06:18
breakdown. Put peanut butter on his head. We wandered around the White House. Sir, are you okay? You got peanut
00:06:22
butter on your head. No, I don't. I'm a peanut butter man. I got peanut butter
00:06:25
hair, peanut butter soup, peanut butter tie, peanut butter shoes. I'm a peanut
00:06:29
butter peanut butter. I'm doing you. But here's the thing that got me crazy, Dan,
00:06:33
is when you you were visiting SNL and then you praised my George Bush Senior impression. So, it was like 10 years
00:06:40
later. So, that just No, >> you know, these things are >> Carter was unbelievable. You know, he he
00:06:45
was a nuclear uh physicist and an engineer in the Navy and he helped set up Canada's reactor program.
00:06:52
>> There was a there was a captain of a nuclear he he troubleshooted uh >> went up to Ottawa, my hometown there,
00:06:58
and troubleshooted a reactor problem they had at one point. Jesus. >> In what year? Before president or
00:07:03
>> Oh, yeah. No, when he was, you know, >> just some president walks in. Let me
00:07:05
take a look. >> You know, 60. >> I'll get back to the economy. I'm going
00:07:09
to do this reactive for the Ottawans. >> Yeah. But well, the deficit spending,
00:07:12
you know, you know, look, we live in a country uh that is in fiat a fiat uh currency. Well, Canada as
00:07:23
well say, you know, fiat currency is all you do is you just print more money if you need it. And so, you know, spending,
00:07:30
you got to spend the money. People need it. Uh, you got to spend it. >> We're doing that.
00:07:34
>> And we're doing it. Yeah. We We've got a We've almost got >> Let it sit on the shelf.
00:07:39
>> No, it shouldn't. A third world uh debt uh debt load right now, right?
00:07:43
>> But because we can print more, >> why not spread it? >> It's a never ending thing. Modern
00:07:48
monetary theory. Now, we're getting close to a trillion in interest on this.
00:07:54
It's really formula vodka. A little bit of that. I poured some for myself. >> Now you'll notice our notes. Sweet.
00:08:00
Thank you. Sweet vanilla. Dry and crisp. Um, made in Canada. No. >> Can I ask you a question about this?
00:08:07
Because >> Yeah, we don't have to talk about the vodka. We can talk. >> No, I want to talk. We'll hop around.
00:08:11
>> This is going to integrate into you as a performer. >> You were one of the first
00:08:19
>> celebrities that that made a >> I do like first time you tast drink his
00:08:25
own vodka. There's a there's a constant in the back. >> Now, David has this other vodka. I won't
00:08:33
mention the name sometimes. >> I'm always looking for a vodka. So, go ahead. And I knew about this.
00:08:38
>> Okay. We have here David Spade is going to take the little >> Am I smelling the notes first?
00:08:43
>> I didn't You love Johnny. >> So, he's going to have Last night he had
00:08:47
two slippery monkeys at the hook and crook. >> Yeah. What a great Carson. You always
00:08:52
>> Oh, I love Johnny. A >> when he died, when the joke would die, that was the funniest the way his
00:08:57
reactions were, you know. >> Yeah. The deconstruct, you know, Danny, >> dry, crisp, right off the finish, it's
00:09:05
it's clean. It's you the sweetness from our corn there. >> Yeah. >> And I'm a vodka guy. Yeah.
00:09:12
David, most of the other uh vodkas, I don't name names, but they put >> uh lemonine sugar,
00:09:18
>> and they put uh uh citrus oil. They put glycol sugar. You don't need that. No,
00:09:23
>> don't eat that. You know, if you're a bartender, you're making things where
00:09:26
you add all kinds of additives in there. St. Germaain, Franka, uh, you know, all
00:09:30
kind of brutal, all that stuff. Dictionary, you know, >> Dan, are you, you know, so, so you don't
00:09:37
need, if you're a bar chef, you don't need anything else. >> I don't know the story. How did this
00:09:41
originate? I'm sorry. I just want to know how you >> I just wanted a cleaner vodka. Really?
00:09:45
And I >> What year was this? Cuz this has been around. >> We've been in a decade and a half into
00:09:48
this. Yeah. Now, there have been many vodkas come and gone. come and gone. >> Many come and gone.
00:09:53
>> And all the celebrities are doing tequila now. >> Well, many there. You know what? There's
00:09:57
200 >> sick >> celebrity spirits brands. >> 200 c I didn't know there was 200
00:10:03
celebrities. I got to get going on this. >> Yeah. >> And uh >> but weren't you an early adopter? It
00:10:09
seems like >> uh Sammy Hager did his tequila and then I just I just I just began to research
00:10:14
vodka and saw >> that uh you know uh that they were uh kind of polluting it a bit and so Johnny
00:10:21
Alexander and I came up with the idea for the skull. Remember him, you know, Johnny Johnny Alexander the artist.
00:10:27
>> Yeah. >> Well, the skull is revolutionary. We met we met uh when he uh when his girlfriend
00:10:32
uh or my girlfriend dumped me for him. >> Rosie Schuster. >> Rosie Schustster who developed church
00:10:38
lady with me wrote with her. >> A spectacular human being. >> Yeah. >> And uh and a beautiful beautiful woman
00:10:46
from from >> She was Lauren's ex-wife for like a year. >> Lauren's ex-wife. Yeah. Well, I knew
00:10:52
that. I knew and it didn't stop me. But oh boy. >> Uh he was very magnanimous. But anyway,
00:10:57
uh Johnny uh uh I got it back because uh not that I took her away from him. That
00:11:02
was kind of over with Lauren and Rosie at the time. But I uh was with uh Rosie and she fell in love with Johnny and
00:11:08
dumped me. And now we're f Yeah. Now we're friends, Johnny and I. And as
00:11:12
Rosie said to >> all three of us one night at Davis's memorial, she looked at Lauren, she
00:11:18
looked at me, and she looked at Johnny. We were all sitting there like crows on a wire at Davis's. She said, "Well, at
00:11:23
least you have each other. Oh, we love Rosie. I got it. >> Chris, so today we v we have the vodka
00:11:30
company, Johnny and I, we're having a ball with her. It's really fun. Uh, you
00:11:33
know, if you can drink moderately and respectfully, uh, it's a good thing. >> Now, Danny, are you saying some of these
00:11:39
like there's a lot of celebrities I drink, um, Urkl tequila, which is probably the best one.
00:11:44
>> Um, I'm kidding. I don't know. It probably does. >> Sounded real.
00:11:49
>> It's probably in the works. >> I've got Felix the Cat. Uh,
00:11:52
>> no. What would that be? It's a logger beer. Yeah. >> Felix the Cat.
00:11:56
>> Felix the Cat. >> You remember Felix the Cat? >> Yes. Oh, of course. The the bag.
00:12:00
>> Do you remember? >> Lwood Blues is is partly based on >> Farley. Felix the Cat.
00:12:05
>> Partly based on Felix the Cat. The the briefcase that has everything in it.
00:12:08
>> Oh my goodness. >> I love Felix. That's got to be brought back. That That is a beautiful beautiful
00:12:12
job. >> That was one of my first animated memories. >> Oh yeah. Yeah.
00:12:16
>> 58 59. >> Felix is Felix is great. >> Felix the cat. He's one of the Blues
00:12:19
Brothers. Felix. >> Yeah, she really should. He's black and white. Yeah,
00:12:23
>> I know. On a mission from God. >> Now listen, >> man. Now, when you do when you do this,
00:12:29
you're saying the other vodkas, >> they have some of those things you're
00:12:32
saying that are in it. I didn't know all the words, but they might make for a
00:12:36
hangover. >> Uh the glycol certainly would. >> Okay. Yeah. So, when you have too many
00:12:41
things in it, it's not great for >> Yeah. No, no, of course. No. You you you
00:12:44
get to eight shots of this, even without the pollutants in there, you're going to
00:12:48
It is ethyl alcohol. So, you know, you got to be kind of uh One of our new sponsors, I guess, is trying to mitigate
00:12:54
that problem. >> Oh, we have one of ours that says it helps >> you take this. But you know what?
00:12:59
>> Oh, it it it doesn't that doesn't have hangovers. >> It mitigates them.
00:13:03
>> It's not vodka. It's saying it helps you with a hangover. It's not a vodka.
00:13:06
>> Well, you know, try it. >> Yeah. Try it. I mean, >> now, by the way, the House of Blues,
00:13:12
Dan, you don't know this. You were part of the House of Blues >> and it was across the street.
00:13:17
>> I'm so sad it's gone. They dug up the coolest place in the world and now it's
00:13:21
some dumpy hotel that nobody cares about. >> Live Nation uh bought House of Blues in
00:13:26
2007. And >> how much do they pay for? >> They paid sever several hundred million.
00:13:31
>> Okay. basically to save the company >> because it had had many challenges and
00:13:36
they they came in and saved the company because >> okay >> you know the dotcom bomb 2008
00:13:42
>> uh all kinds of things uh 9/11 all kinds of things fought against house of blue
00:13:47
survival and Live Nation came in and saved the company in 2500 jobs >> and then uh across the street here they
00:13:54
the lease holder uh basically wanted the building back and so they just paid Live
00:13:59
Nation you know a sum to say we to build our own thing here and >> and Live Nation looked at it
00:14:05
economically and said, you know, we'd have to run a restaurant here for the next 50 years to make the money that was
00:14:10
offered. So, you I understood the decision, but it's too bad they took out our beautiful bar with the steel curved
00:14:17
steel and uh that was my office. I mean, I hung >> I saw the go- go there. I saw so many so
00:14:21
many great spot. There's one in Vegas. >> There's a there's a cool one in Anaheim,
00:14:25
Vegas. They're still out there. Yes. And Oh, yeah. There's 11 of them. And um and
00:14:29
and they are uh they're rocking. And the one in Chicago was just great. >> Yeah, Chicago.
00:14:33
>> It's a great brand. So, so another business thing you got into it seems to
00:14:38
me just listening to you, it's a super creative >> expression of yourself
00:14:43
>> because the first time I met you and you sat us all, you were visiting SNL was me
00:14:47
and Phil and John. My first season, we were at a restaurant. First thing you said was, "Don't be in a hurry to leave
00:14:52
the show." >> And the second one was just about business and pay attention.
00:14:58
>> Well, it's show business, right? You know? Yeah, but that I remembered that
00:15:02
to this day. >> It's always great to have great adviserss and uh you know I've any work
00:15:06
that I've done that I'm proud of, it's because I've been with wonderful
00:15:09
collaborators. Any success I I've had, it's consulting people who are smarter
00:15:13
than me in many areas and and uh just the the fun of working with with with just great people uh all all the way
00:15:20
through. Um Eddie, you know, Murphy and Murray and and and all of them. >> Jesus Christ.
00:15:25
>> Yeah. And then and and Love it, of course, we we just think of him as he's
00:15:29
as far as I'm concerned, he's the price of he's worth the price of admission to
00:15:33
SNL generally is Love it. >> Justin Love it was there. You know, >> why
00:15:40
so funny? >> I don't know where he got that. >> He is spectacular. He I did this thing.
00:15:45
It's going to be out in the next year. >> Uh the world in six glasses. It's a
00:15:48
documentary talking about all the fluids that have influenced man mind over time.
00:15:53
And I had him on there. He came on and well that was one of the most fun. Yeah. Huh.
00:15:58
>> I'll do it. >> He's so [ __ ] >> He's just always You put him in The
00:16:03
Wedding Singer. He's funny. >> Yeah. >> I've I've had him in movies. He's great.
00:16:07
>> No, he is. He is >> jealous. >> Yeah, >> that's his big one.
00:16:11
>> By the way, hey, I like your glasses. Jealous. >> Yeah. Yeah. >> You mentioned uh Trading Places and I uh
00:16:17
I mean there's too many things to ask Dan Award about. I know. >> There's not much to ask other than to
00:16:21
fawn over things, but Trading Places was one of the >> those movies that just hit us hard and
00:16:28
it was an R-rated movie and it was so [ __ ] funny. And then >> you just So, I I don't want to say did
00:16:33
you know it going in, but you know, you get to work with Eddie and uh did you know him well at all or was just was it
00:16:38
was it a gamble to put Eddie in? >> Um nobody. Um well, I think uh you know
00:16:44
>> he did the Walter Hill movie. >> The Walter Hill movie and then Paramount
00:16:47
said, "Yeah, he'd be good." Mhm. >> And uh somehow that pairing came
00:16:52
together. I didn't know him before we started. Of course, he was spectacular
00:16:55
to see that talent grow >> and what he did in that film. And when I read the script, it was so intelligently
00:17:02
written. And uh I thought, yeah, I I that this would be a great thing to play and have have fun on because it was
00:17:09
certainly different from, you know, anything I'd done before. and uh and then Landis directing it because he we
00:17:17
made a couple of things together. So it was you know all the all the cylinders were clicking on
00:17:22
>> kind of like a 30s screw ball comedy in that sense of >> it wasn't you know
00:17:26
>> so fun and easy to watch. It was written by uh a pair of writers, Winero and
00:17:30
Harris and they wrote it >> um and corresponded I heard by Fax Machine to write it.
00:17:36
>> Uh and uh and I believe they did one other film but that was certainly their
00:17:41
most famous uh >> and wellknown one and so well done and uh you know well directed with great
00:17:47
actors in it. Yeah, that's a triple AAA. I'm proud of that one. Jamie Lee. Jesus.
00:17:51
Jamie Lee was so we were in love with nature. >> Everything was working. And uh you
00:17:57
eating the salmon out of your beard. I mean, I don't know if it's an ad lip or
00:18:00
what, but those are the texture things in movies where they stick with you forever.
00:18:04
>> I think that was I have a beard on, I see the salmon, >> you know, I'm going for it.
00:18:10
>> Yeah. There's the, you know, you come into the set, you know, you're looking
00:18:13
around stuff you can use all the time. You know, we're desperate. What how do I
00:18:17
fill it with business? What? So, I have this beard and I'm I there's a salmon
00:18:22
like, "Oh, yeah." >> Oh, yeah. I don't know if it was scripted or not, but I I kind of
00:18:25
remember it being spontaneous. I'm going to pick it up. >> Beer. I'm going to go for it.
00:18:30
>> But that's great because you look at scenes and and uh and I almost forget
00:18:34
that you you know, we did Tommy Boy and same thing. You you look at a day shoot and you go,
00:18:39
>> is there anything funny here? There's a clip on with Farley. We were like, let's
00:18:42
in the night before we're like, hey, can he bring a can you guys give us a clip
00:18:45
on just for one laugh so we can It's all about brake pads. It was hard to make it
00:18:50
that everything funny. That reminds me of that. You get there, you see a salmon, you see a beard, you chew the
00:18:55
beard and >> and Landis was generous with that, you know. >> Oh, >> about just grabbing things. So, he was
00:19:01
smart. >> No, no, he he he lets the performer go, you know. You know, and you mentioned
00:19:05
Farley, of course. Dearly beloved, dearly beloved, you know. >> Of course, Mr. Akroy. Oh jeez.
00:19:13
>> Could he be more in love with Dan Ara? It's unreal. >> I don't think so. Man, cone heads when
00:19:19
he was in the cone heads. He played the beautiful part. >> Oh, he was good at con.
00:19:22
>> Yeah, he was great. >> Oh yeah. You know when he do he would do stuff on the set and he'd move his head
00:19:28
and we're like that's Akroyd, that's Bill Murray, that's Bali. >> But the sweetest the sweetest sweetest
00:19:34

00:19:50
churchgoing, you know, churchgoer. And >> Yeah. Yeah. That uh >> we had a blast on we had a blast on
00:19:57
Tommy Boy. I remember one night when you we were in like a >> I think you were showing us is that
00:20:03
where Rob Lo gets hitting the balls? I don't want to give the whole movie away,
00:20:05
but when we uh we're in like we we shot like 24 hours and we had some factory in
00:20:10
Toronto. >> We got to go up there and uh >> we were getting tired. >> Magna Magna Auto Parts
00:20:16
>> and you had the uh there was the >> the uh air freshener show. So many
00:20:21
things and then just to have you from the guy we love to be in the movie and then the movie worked out.
00:20:27
>> Yeah, it did. >> Oh, so much. >> That's a good picture. That's a really
00:20:30
good picture. The deer scene. I mean, >> oh god, >> that happened to Franken and Davis, you
00:20:34
know. >> Oh, was that deer came alive? a a car they it went through the the windshield.
00:20:39
Yeah. And Yeah. >> I think that happens a lot. But uh but I don't know how many times a deer comes
00:20:43
back alive, >> but uh the other >> I think I think I think in their case it
00:20:48
might have. >> Oh wow. >> Yeah. I think >> Frank was like, >> "Well, we got a deer in the back of the
00:20:54
car." Well, you've got to be here. We've got a show. Just you we'll take care of
00:20:58
the deer later. >> Oh, I got to tell him we had Michael McKan on. Remember Michael McKen?
00:21:02
>> Of course. Of course. I know. His resume. It's like yours. It's like
00:21:06
exhausting. >> And they're making spinal tap again, I hope. >> Oh, I don't know. We didn't ask.
00:21:12
>> There's rumors of that. >> We don't ask the good questions.
00:21:16
>> We just spawn. But uh we were talking about conuts. He was my partner in
00:21:20
Coneheads >> and I was telling Dana that we were the uh immigration guys. Yeah.
00:21:24
>> Not kind of the bad guys or whatever, you know. And um and it was peppered
00:21:28
with we didn't mention it, but I think Sandler was in the movie. Farley had a
00:21:31
big part. >> It was his first uh movie appearance. Sandler. >> Oh, was it? Billy Madison.
00:21:35
>> He played Yeah. He sold uh he sold the >> carine or something. >> He sold me the ID.
00:21:40
>> Yeah. >> That's right. Fake ID. >> Yeah. Right. >> Yeah.
00:21:42
>> And we had Ellen Degenerous, Drew Carey, Sinbad. I know every pepper that place.
00:21:47
If you watch it, you go, "Whoa." Hey, oh, look who that is. >> It was a very good serviceable family
00:21:52
comedy and it it certainly endures today. No doubt about it. >> Serviceable. I think that wasn't in the
00:21:56
pitch. >> They Well, you know, they always barely No, I love cone heads. I told Dana and
00:22:03
Michael that Michael didn't know this. So, you know, >> it was supposed to come out at
00:22:06
Halloween. They rushed it if it had come. >> Oh, is that what happened? >> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Stanley Jaffy there at
00:22:11
at Paramount prodded Lauren to get it ready and Lauren and I were thinking Halloween,
00:22:18
Halloween, but now we need it now. We need it now. So, it would have it would have done better at at Halloween, but it
00:22:23
did as a all of these things have a life now. >> Listen, they they they people wind up
00:22:28
seeing them and uh Yeah. And when you're smoking weed in watching Saturday Night
00:22:31
Live in 1978, they come on and they're they're called the cone heads and their
00:22:35
heads are like cone heads. >> When I mean when I smoke weed and wrote the thing.
00:22:40
>> Yeah, >> they're the cone heads and their heads look like >> Yeah. No, that's good. That that Yeah.
00:22:47
Danny members I I was telling them yesterday that >> uh right you were probably narling the
00:22:52
gar at this point but we were um >> nar we were Michael and I were in t-shirt and boxers
00:23:00
>> to do a scene and I was in the in my trailer and I said to the ad because I
00:23:04
was so naive and so adorable and cherubic but I said hey don't tell anyone and I can still work say I do
00:23:11
have chickenpox >> and he goes you have chickenpox and I go yeah but It's over. It's here where my
00:23:17
shirt is and it's on my legs and you can't see it. And I'm in a scene with
00:23:20
you and >> could have infested the whole >> every Oh yeah. And he goes, "Okay, hang
00:23:24
on." And they go shutting down the set. I'm like, "What's going on?" I I didn't
00:23:28
even connect it to me. >> And so they sent everyone home and uh I don't even know if you're working that
00:23:33
day, but I was like, "Oh my god." And so and then someone goes, "That's going to
00:23:37
cause the studio. You're in trouble." Everything was terrifying me to get
00:23:39
fired. But wound up being a blast. But uh that's remembering you have the chickenpox way late.
00:23:46
>> Yeah, >> I know. You didn't get a kid. That's so >> when I was such a weak little puss of a
00:23:51
kid. I got uh measles knocked me out for three weeks which was abnormal >> when you were 37 or what?
00:23:57
>> No, that I got when I was a normal kid. >> Okay. But I was uh very frail. You can't
00:24:01
tell this athlete that sits in front of you today. >> No, that's right.
00:24:06
>> Marathon runner. >> Marathon runner. Dane is a marathon runner. >> That was such a fun picture, Consson.
00:24:10
And it was we had a great cast. >> Yeah. >> And Yeah. Yeah. It it's I'm proud of
00:24:14
that one. I like that one. I love that one. >> Do you I mean this is just fan type
00:24:19
questions like when you look at >> You will be spared. >> You take you take a drag net. You take
00:24:24
you take this. You will be spared. >> You will be spared. >> You will be spared. I will place both of
00:24:29
you on the protected roles. Say no more of it. Goodbye. >> Remember I was behind Dave Thomas at the
00:24:36
end. They brought me in for an extra scene and goes there will be and I go. >> Yeah, that was so just mocking
00:24:41
everything you said. I just said whatever. >> When I turned and went with the cone
00:24:45
heads at the end. >> So this you can order this on Amazon for like >> three bucks, right? For just people
00:24:50
listening >> drink when you see a >> Were there two Conan movies or just one?
00:24:54
>> Just one there. Hey, listen. I would do that character in a second. In fact, I
00:24:57
have a story idea, but you know, I'm too busy now, you know, and no one's going
00:25:02
to listen to a story idea. >> How do you sleep at night? >> Cone heads. No one's going to want
00:25:05
another Cone Heads out there. Paramount Plus. No. >> Paramount Plus. >> Hulu was waiting. I know the guy who
00:25:12
runs >> Crystal Vodka the movie. >> I'm going to text him. >> Yeah. No, I was I was on Hulu there. I
00:25:17
was I did a little show called Zombie Town in RS Stein, you know, the Goosebumps author. Yeah. So, it's on
00:25:23
Hulu now. It's called Zombie Town. And it's like it's like, okay, now children
00:25:28
of America, you're going to have to learn about zombies. This is an introductory movie about zombies for
00:25:33
you. gentle and soft and kind of funny and a little scary. >> Yeah. So that you can step up to, you
00:25:39
know, totally the world of Z. What's that Z? >> The World War Z. >> World War Z. I remember Lauren asked me
00:25:45
when his kids were little girls. I I I don't really understand Scooby-Doo. >> And I said, "Yeah, I don't really get
00:25:52
why they love it." And it was to your point, it was the first time when they're a certain age, it's a little
00:25:58
scary. The mask comes off, there's a haunted person. So that's that was the
00:26:02
rocket fuel for that. >> Get them. Yeah. >> You stepped them up to The Exorcist.
00:26:06
>> That's right. That's I saw it at 17. Still haven't unseen it.
00:26:11
>> But is even too early. >> Yeah. >> Well, we went in. We >> I've never seen it.
00:26:16
>> We You don't see it. It's It's >> I'm too scared.
00:26:18
>> I guess it's brilliant. >> It's brilliant. >> I believe in that [ __ ] I'm a paranormal
00:26:21
guy like Danny. >> Dan, you believe in UFOs? I believe that they're real.
00:26:32
Everyone believes in UFOs. It's just where are they coming from is the only But of course there's
00:26:37
>> I I know they're real. You can be a skeptic and say, "Oh, well,
00:26:40
>> I'm not a skeptic, but I do have a question for you." >> Where are they're coming from? All all
00:26:44
different species. There's probably dozens of them. >> Do they come from the ocean?
00:26:48
>> It there may be bases there and and and go ahead. The question is, look, I'm I'm
00:26:53
totally cuz I whenever I'm thinking about supernatural stuff and I always go, we're here. So, the greatest
00:26:59
supernatural thing is that we exist right now talking here. How'd we get here? What are we doing here? What's you
00:27:05
know, so I'm open-minded to all of it. What I was curious about the United States Air Force that the sightings of
00:27:11
the UFOs seem to be stuck in kind of a black and white herkyjerky 1950s motif. >> Yeah.
00:27:18
>> Can't they get more sophisticated cameras on these suckers? So we can
00:27:21
really >> Well, there's more footage coming out uh and uh it is all governed now by the new
00:27:26
office at the Pentagon that handles this and it is called the >> all domain because they go in water.
00:27:33
They fly through water at thousand miles an hour. So space sky water all domain anomalous it you don't know what it is
00:27:42
>> resolution because they have to resolve. They've got military craft and and and
00:27:46
equipment being exposed. So, it's the uh all domain anomalous resolution office
00:27:51
to figure out what they are. >> And so, that's uh we actually have a Pentagon department now that's working
00:27:56
on that or a branch that's working and you know uh all those sightings will be
00:28:00
uh brought in by the military and brought in by uh civilians and and and analyzed there. So, it it's real.
00:28:08
>> Again, your question who, where, where are they coming from, why I think a lot
00:28:13
of them are just tourists. I think it's not as scary a little bit because >> they and I'm scared of them even though
00:28:19
I I do tons of >> dimensional but I think they >> they would have done whatever they're
00:28:24
going to done. They're already here. They've been here a million times. They
00:28:27
would they can take us out if they want. That's why I feel a little easier. >> They're not I don't I don't think
00:28:31
they're a threat. However, you know, I'm >> kidding. If you talk to some of the
00:28:35
aviators down near Marina del Rey with fire department, the police department, the sheriff's department, helicopters
00:28:42
and such, they see them all the time >> and and they seem to be bugging them and
00:28:46
and flying them, flying around and like challenging them. >> I'm so >> Do you feel in a way, Dan, you were
00:28:51
ahead of your time in a sense because now it's going more mainstream? >> Yes, you were with the Pentagon and it's
00:28:57
more acknowledged >> and you've been talking about it. four of them and my mother we've seen two
00:29:02
here unidentified >> and my mother saw one that was why I got interested in it. My mother saw one in
00:29:10
1947 and she worked in the aircraft production >> uh ministry in World War II uh at at
00:29:16
with >> in Ottawa during the war in aircraft production for the fuselages on the
00:29:21
hurricane. So she knew aircraft and she said in 1947 she saw one on uh uh uh the
00:29:28
sparks spark street there you know. Yeah back then >> they were Yeah. Yeah. They kind of going
00:29:34
everywhere. Yeah. I don't I don't think they want a formal relationship with us
00:29:38
but they will take advantage of us using >> technology. Do you have any sense of
00:29:41
being connected to uh 2001 of space odyssey? Just the idea that we were seated here by an alien race
00:29:49
>> uh still seems a fascinating You know, one of the favorite movies of a lot of
00:29:52
people at NASA is the movie that uh that was uh that was made, Mission to Mars, with what with had the face the face on
00:30:00
Mars in it. >> And the theory was Gary >> Senise. >> Uh yeah, I think so. And uh Mission to
00:30:06
Mars. It wasn't the one with Matt Damon. Matt Damon. That was >> No, no, Gary. This this postulated that
00:30:13
>> we were seated here and and there was some help was was uh you know, there was
00:30:17
some help. >> Yeah. And so a lot of NASA personnel uh see that as a kind of a viable concept
00:30:24
from what I've you know what I understand. >> Well, of course everything's on the
00:30:28
table unless someone has all this figured out. >> Have you seen any aliens? Cuz they have
00:30:33
pictures of them. They have >> I don't I never No, never seen. >> But you know they're you know that
00:30:37
people have seen pictures. >> Yeah. Sure. Sure. No. All kind. And you know my poltergeist or whatever you call
00:30:43
them experiences that are >> Yeah. Yeah. >> Um >> Yeah. You really went through that.
00:30:49
>> Yeah. And it was annoying to you that your experiences it wasn't something you
00:30:54
enjoyed, right? It was >> No. What? Well, the one that was the Well, there's there's many of them, but
00:31:00
in this house we have up in Northern California. It was built in 1912. There's three bedrooms upstairs. And so
00:31:06
one night, and I didn't know what white noise was at this point, >> believe it or not. I just had not. It
00:31:12
was the '9s or whatever. So I wake up to this like a FM radio between channels, right?
00:31:18
I'm going, why is everyone sleeping? So I walk around and by the time I get in
00:31:22
the room, I don't hear it. But it was not a waking dream state. It wasn't like
00:31:26
a nightmare. It was just like, what the heck? And so that room I also had some when I slept in there once because
00:31:34
company's over. I had an experience there. But I've become less afraid of it
00:31:38
because >> if it starts to happen, I just sort of go with it now. Yeah. You know. Well, it
00:31:43
happens to millions of people. Hence Holtzer, H O L Z- Er. He was the great Ghostbuster and he has a great number of
00:31:50
books upon, you know, dealing with all of the things that he he dealt with in his career.
00:31:54
>> Is that how Ghostbusters started is you just got into all that? >> Well, my family was into it. My
00:31:58
great-grandfather was a spiritualist researcher and uh all around the house uh in the cottage there that we had in
00:32:05
the summers which was the summer househ where he lived uh it was full of journals and books and his writings and
00:32:12
so I was sitting there flipping through a journal from the American Society for Psychical Research and it was an article
00:32:19
on quantum physics and parap parasychology and I just went okay parapsychology quantum physics the real
00:32:27
terms the real vernacular, the real research that's being done. Marry that to an old style comedy like Abbott and
00:32:33
Castello, Bowie Boys, >> Bob Hope and uh Dean Bing Crosby who did Ghost movies.
00:32:41
>> In fact, Hold That Ghost, I think, is a movie with Jerry Lewis and Dean Martin
00:32:46
and it's the first use of the term Ghostbusters. Somebody asks Dean Martin, "Who are you guys? We're Ghostbusters."
00:32:51
He says, >> "We're the ghost." >> And by the way, just as an aside,
00:32:55
>> we're Ghostbusters. I want to tell you, >> he says, "Yeah. See, so that was the
00:32:59
first use of the term and it was a great tradition of ghost movies in Hollywood.
00:33:02
I thought let's marry the real vernacular, the real science, the real fact that that people are seriously, you
00:33:08
know, seriously into this research with an old style comedy. Now, as an aside, that movie Hold That Ghost with Jerry
00:33:14
Lewis and Dean Martin, Jerry Lewis does a a walk down the stairs in the old castle set that it defies physics. The
00:33:24
way he comes down those stairs and doesn't kill himself >> is amazing. He was a spectacular phys
00:33:31
was he trying to be uh >> No, he was just coming down the stairs as like clumsily coming down the stairs.
00:33:35
>> Not possessed or >> No, no, just clumsily walking down the stairs and he
00:33:40
>> I don't know how he didn't kill himself. He was a masterful physical comedian.
00:33:43
Absolutely masterful. You got you got you hung with him. You must have known >> Jerry Lewis. Yeah,
00:33:49
>> not really. I met the woman who played the anenu Cinderfella and then I went and looked at a scene on
00:33:57
YouTube of Jerry Lewis. This there's a centerpiece where he's dancing around
00:34:01
with the stairs. To your point, >> the physical comedy is breathtaking. >> Yeah.
00:34:06
>> And it went on and on. He was directing it. You must have met him. >> I did. I Well, actually, I met I talked
00:34:12
to him on the phone. Schaefer hooked him up on the phone with me one day >> and Jerry and Jerry and I Jerry I said
00:34:19
Jerry can you can you give me give me and he on the phone I'll never forget over the phone I
00:34:30
it all comes from the the the the Jewish uh Yiddish theater of the Lower East Side the cat's kills that all of that
00:34:38
humor theang the shoulder take the spit take uh the fork drop. Have you ever Have you ever The fork drops wonderful.
00:34:44
You're sitting at dinner, somebody says something and [ __ ] >> Yeah. >> The fork. That's all comedy from the
00:34:49
Yiddish uh lower side. You know that there's a wonderful expression for your
00:34:53
show in Yiddish. The fly in the wall. >> And it goes, it's the fleek ovant.
00:35:01
>> That's how you say fly in the wall in Yiddish. Flevant. >> Let's get this so we have this for our
00:35:07
promos. >> Yeah. sounds like he's making. >> Yeah, >> it's poetic.
00:35:12
>> So that the young he gave me a young and and and all of that comes from that rich
00:35:16
rich tradition. >> Did you have other um >> like heroes like did Carrie Grant ever
00:35:21
reach out to you or >> other super in the 70s when you guys were exploding cuz
00:35:27
>> Tim Liry and Davis were Timothy Larry? >> Yeah, Timothy Larry and Davis were
00:35:31
great. I bought him Davis. I bought him and on our friends I bought the last steak dinner that he ate before he died
00:35:37
at the at the Marmmont over there at the restaurant. >> You put in it really?
00:35:40
>> Uh it was already taken care of >> and now everybody's doing it for uh
00:35:45
mental health reasons. >> I know Timothy Liry. I met Jimmy Hoffa cuz I I Yeah,
00:35:53
>> Giant Stadium. That's the last I heard. >> Uh that was Yeah. Yeah. Well, you saw
00:35:56
that movie with Alino and that >> met him ice. Uh Lauren McCall, I worked with her. I worked with Jim Garner and
00:36:04
uh Jack Lemon. I worked with Jack Lemon and J in a movie called American President
00:36:09
>> and Lauren McCall was in that. That was wonderful. >> Was that Pete Seagull?
00:36:13
>> Yeah, Pete Seagull. Yeah. Yeah. And uh work with work with the all great
00:36:17
veterans like that. >> Yeah, that's what I was curious about. I assume you intersected them.
00:36:22
>> So, so neat. So neat. >> And special. >> When you left SNL, was there
00:36:28
>> So Chvy came? We had Chvy on here. He was >> perfectly bananas the way we wanted.
00:36:33
>> Amazing. >> He was so we didn't film it. It was so funny. >> He was doing stick and stuff.
00:36:41
>> No, his sticks and stones. >> His work with his fingers. If you never
00:36:45
saw any other part of him, the work with his hands. >> I I I remember he he did something just
00:36:50
like, you know, he's like he's he's there. He's got the fingers walking and
00:36:53
then all of a sudden and it starts to and you you just hilarious the control, you know.
00:36:59
>> Yeah. Well, we had this here which is like 10 bottles on a tray. He just
00:37:03
waited and at a given point he just falling. He reached for it and it was just like perfectly but he waited. He
00:37:11
knew you could tell he knew early on that was his go-to. >> No, I love Chvy. I love
00:37:16
>> No, we do too. >> And you stayed straight through like he he was the first year of SNL and then
00:37:20
you stayed How long did you stay? Five years. >> Four. >> Four years.
00:37:23
>> Yeah. The reason we left was purely and sorely because and I mean we had to
00:37:28
finish the Blues Brothers. >> You know, we thought maybe it was a possibility we'd go back, you know, we
00:37:34
went to Chicago. Then the movie went sort of early summer, late >> autumn and you were shooting
00:37:41
>> and we were shooting and we had to go back to LA to shoot some of the stuff
00:37:44
inside. The church scene, the uh soul food restaurant, all of that had to be done in LA and we knew we couldn't go
00:37:50
back. So, I made the call to Lauren saying we weren't going to return for John.
00:37:55
>> How hard was that? >> It was a little It was made a little easier because when uh Animal House was
00:38:02
being done, they wanted me to play D-Day and they wanted me to join Landis and >> and uh Wrightman and uh Oh, yeah. You'd
00:38:10
be great. >> And and uh you know uh John in in Oregon to do that movie. And I I just looked
00:38:16
and I just John's gone, man. I just looked and I thought, you know, how could I leave Lauren here without
00:38:23
another without a writer or an actor, you know? So, I told him, I said, I'm I'm going to stay. And I stayed on then.
00:38:29
>> So, when we left for Blues Brothers, it was a little easier because I did stay
00:38:32
on and I didn't leave for Animal House. >> Yeah. And there's like somebody some analyst
00:38:38
somewhere, some pundit or something said, "Oh, Lauren forced me to stay or was, you know, you forced the contract."
00:38:43
Lauren is not a dictator, slave driver. You want to go, you go. He's not like
00:38:47
that. No, >> he encouraged us. >> He wouldn't want to look thirsty like

00:39:17
>> constantly references to you guys >> and it was so intimidating to me and it
00:39:23
was like Danny did it because I'd come up with an idea Danny did that season
00:39:27
two >> Chevy believes but you guys are the originals and so there is >> Billy Chvy Danny
00:39:34
>> never the last name never said Dan Akroyd never said Paul Simon never said
00:39:39
Paul Mard >> and look how the show is going now so current so relevant So extraordinary.
00:39:44
>> When you did Blues Brothers, which is one of my alltime uh great ones, and I
00:39:47
know you opened for Steve Martin at the Universal, I heard that's why there is a
00:39:51
Blues Brothers because John recorded the record from there. >> God damn. Um you do How do you get
00:39:56
Carrie Fisher? Was she Star Wars or was she my girlfriend? You mean? >> Yeah. Oh, she didn't get into
00:40:03
love line. >> No. Well, uh Well, because uh it >> wasn't the Barbie part for her. She was
00:40:08
good friends with with John and and good just good friends with Penny Marshall and John and
00:40:13
>> she was Penny's buddy and and uh we just asked her to be a part of it and she was
00:40:17
a part of it and then we fell in love >> and uh we almost got married. We had
00:40:21
blood tests and rings exchanged and everything >> and uh I I was ready to spend the rest
00:40:27
of my life with with Carrie and uh after we wrapped the movie, we got into a 24 with John and Judy and we flew to
00:40:35
Martha's Vineyard and we flew to this house that Judy had bought me in the vineyard to be near John to plan future
00:40:41
projects, right? And uh I said, "Judy, just buy me a house. I don't care
00:40:46
>> what it looks like." It was our first check from Atlantic Records and she
00:40:49
bought me a house and said, "You're going to see your house tonight for the
00:40:52
first time and you're bringing Carrie home." So, I brought Carrie home to this
00:40:56
house I'd never seen and it's night and fog is like down and low. And we go in
00:41:02
and walk in and they flip the lights on and I could just tell that it was not to
00:41:06
Carrie's design sense at all. Yeah, >> it was a mid50s lot of modern furniture, very uh you
00:41:13
know uh em chairs and stuff and she >> so that night was a difficult night and
00:41:18
then in the morning I heard her talking to Paul Simon her boyfriend at the time before
00:41:23
>> and and I could hear her talking and hear well I'll be there and I'll be in
00:41:27
New York tomorrow or or today and I thought oh she's leaving. So, um, I said, "You know, Carrie, the view is
00:41:34
supposed to be beautiful in this house. You should stay." No, I have to get
00:41:36
back. I've got to go back to Paul. I've got to go. I'm going back down to Please
00:41:39
take me to the airport. Nothing rankerous or very amicable. I thought I was We thought we were getting married.
00:41:45
I go I drive her to the airport, get her on a plane, kiss her goodbye, and say, "I'll I'll see you soon. We'll hang."
00:41:51
You know, I love you. I love you. and and you know she flies off and I drive in the jeep back to the the Martha's
00:41:58
Vineyard house and I'm kind of despondent and I I walk I drive up to the house and the fog has lifted and
00:42:06
I've got a 275 degree view of the ocean, the islands >> and that this beautiful beautiful
00:42:14
promontory that the house was on. I thought you know she saw saw that she might she would have been married today.
00:42:21
>> It's like Manhattan socked in. Oh, it's the only time we went. Is it always
00:42:24
foggy? No, no, no. >> And so, yeah, that meant but we we were good friends all the way right to the
00:42:30
end of her life, of course. >> And Blues Brothers, I think it's one of
00:42:33
those where a lot of people want to be around funny people. And she's like, if
00:42:37
I and she's a big star, but it's okay. >> And funny herself. I mean, hilarious,
00:42:41
brilliant in that. >> Yeah, she's great. We had a ball, of course, you know, cuz we we we were
00:42:47
making a movie and we were in love. >> You know, maybe you're making a movie
00:42:50
with someone you love. so you can go to work in the morning with them. >> I can't imagine the rocket ship, you
00:42:54
know, I had my own little success there, too. Wayne's World. Anyway, um but you
00:42:59
guys um I'm doing a David there. >> Blues Brothers, when I first saw that, I
00:43:05
was like, "This is so electric on every level." >> Like, you're enjoying it.
00:43:10
>> You and John, the dancing and the energy of it was like, "Well, this is something
00:43:14
new. >> This is like really musical, too." >> Like the band was kicking. And then you
00:43:21
guys were just so funny with all the sticktick to me again at just fantasizing about being on Saturday
00:43:27
Night Live. Just those characters. Don't get me started with Wild and Crazy Guys.
00:43:31
Don't even start with that. >> Come on. I don't think I can do that guy
00:43:35
no more. No, you can't play around with accents anymore. You can't have it. And
00:43:40
you can't even talk about the parts on a woman. >> The parts. >> And we look, they will love our American
00:43:46
bulges or what was >> Yeah, the bulges. Yeah. Please don't. Uh, you will be shocked by my great
00:43:51
bulge. You know, you got to watch it these days. >> I mean, I was so influenced by you guys
00:43:56
rhythmically and musically. You know, you had a you you Oh, she was >> You had to read it. I think that is one
00:44:03
of the greatest inside. >> She looked so cute in the in the in that waiter outfit. She didn't want to wear
00:44:09
the waitress's outfit. No, I can't. I can't. And then Deborah Nulman, Landis'
00:44:13
wife, the designer, >> designed this beautiful >> waitress's outfit that made her look
00:44:18
great. Yeah. >> Yeah. She was It was even funnier that she had that. >> So supportive of us all the way through.
00:44:23
She always was. And so was Ray and everybody. >> Yeah. >> John Candy.
00:44:27
>> Yeah. We had Candy was in. Yeah. Yeah. And then we had Craropper and Dunn who
00:44:32
were >> Otis Reading's guitar players. So that made it happen. Now I still play with uh
00:44:36
with Jimmy John's brother. We go out and we have an active concert schedule. We
00:44:40
go out with a band that we've uh got here from California and Texas that we put together over the years. And uh uh
00:44:47
we got a you know we got a couple of gigs. >> What's more what's more fun than gigs?
00:44:51
>> Not that the music and and hear that guitar and hear that just the organ and
00:44:56
>> uh you know moving. I've got you know 78% of the moves left. So you know
00:45:02
yeah last week it was 80 but >> declines. >> Yeah I'm in the low 40s.
00:45:09
>> I don't know. >> Yeah it's not it's not all clicking. Uh
00:45:13
>> or it is clicking is the problem. So, you're going along, there's trading
00:45:15
places, there's Blues Brothers, >> there's all these stuff we could on
00:45:19
Saturday Night Live. Yeah. >> And then and then what's Dan going to do
00:45:24
now? And then I don't know what the trajectory was, but then Ghostbusters was like
00:45:29
>> probably equivalent inflation adjusted almost like Gone with the Wind or
00:45:32
something. It was like 300 million in 1984. >> That's right. >> So like 300 million now or a bit. So
00:45:42
what Titanic and you thought of it you >> that that day that day at at the
00:45:47
farmhouse where the old where the seances take took place where my great great-grandfather had seances
00:45:52
>> uh from the 20s and that and I was sitting there reading that journal and I
00:45:55
just thought old style Abbott and Castello comedy with the real science. Marry it up.
00:46:00
>> It's brilliant. But who's the first person you told? >> Um well that would have been Bernie
00:46:06
Brilstein, I guess. Oh >> yeah, Bernie. >> Uh and THEN >> I LOVE IT. and then oitz and then I I I
00:46:12
turned a draft in to both of those guys and then we went to Ivan and Ivan got got it how it could be fixed and made
00:46:18
what it was. You know, >> you wrote it fat, right? >> Well, I not so much lengthwise, but it
00:46:23
was a little darker. It was a little It wasn't the movie you saw, but it certainly had all of the stuff in there
00:46:29
>> uh that became the movie. All the elements were there. Uh so, and then Ivan looked at it and then Ivan said,
00:46:34
"Let's go to Harold." And Harold looked at it and understood what I was trying
00:46:38
to do here with it. And then and then we decide what do we do about cast? Well, and then and Harold and Ivan looked at
00:46:43
each other and said, "Well, if we could get Murray, we we'll give it to Murray."
00:46:47
I mean, and then so we we he carried the ball for us. >> He was the master of those lines, those
00:46:55
throwaway lines, his style. >> One of the probably the greatest comedy romantic lead of our of our of our
00:47:01
generation and maybe many. >> And him and Sigourney Weaver. >> Yeah.
00:47:05
>> Very cool. >> Beautiful. Brilliant. Beautiful. all came together.
00:47:08
>> This is magic once a film works, any film. But when something like that that
00:47:12
old and new >> and then just connects so strong. I remember going to, you know, it was like
00:47:17
Jaws in a way. Huge lines, theater packed. It was a phenomenal. How fun to have that hit and cuz you could have
00:47:25
screwed that movie up easily. I mean, it's a great idea, but everywhere along
00:47:30
any movies you go in where it's good and you go, >> "God, where did we go wrong? the
00:47:34
editing, the this, the casting, but to get it every step of the way and it comes out.
00:47:38
>> Well, look at who was on it, right? Harold, Ivan, >> the the Morannis had his partisan
00:47:47
wonderful wonderful big him and Sigourney and can uh him and Sigourney are big parts of why that movie works.
00:47:55
Great. Yeah. Yeah. No, >> Zul. >> Yeah. No. Yeah. Well, and I I was on
00:48:00

00:50:34
that, you know, things have passed him by Ghostbuster in this one, you know, because they he's no longer licensed.
00:50:40
You always have that skill set of putting a lot of words together really like >> that is true
00:50:45
>> like as a comic concept you know but you know that does that something my mother was French Canadian my mother
00:50:54
was French Canadian and I grew up around French Canadian and French Canadians they speak very fast like that
00:51:00
no no no no they they talk a lot a lot of fast bring me with that right now give you
00:51:07
give me the salt give me the pepper give me the steak give me the potato give You want some wine? You want They talk
00:51:12
like that. They're fast. >> They're French Canadians. So, I I I had
00:51:14
this always, you know, and plus sitting around the table there'd be 14 family
00:51:18
members and, you know, you couldn't get a a word in unless you inject interjected it, inject it in there.
00:51:29
>> So, how did you go from like a 14year-old, 15year-old, and then you were really were you on 21 or 22 or
00:51:35
something? >> Oh, I was 23. The >> young. So what just quickly I mean for
00:51:39
your >> Second City at at 21 and 22 late Michaels at 19 I uh I worked with him on
00:51:45
a CBC special at 19 and his show hard and >> uh the Hart and Lauren Terrific Hour.
00:51:51
>> You were on that? >> Uh it was on an offshoot of that. That's
00:51:54
right. >> So you were like 18 or 19. You're on television Canada doing
00:51:58
>> That's right. That's right. 19. >> It's called >> Yeah. Well, it was it was called
00:52:03
>> an early adopter. Yeah, it was uh it was it was being steeped in improv. My
00:52:08
parents sent me at 12 years old to Ottawa Little Theater uh improv class and so I was I was already doing it sort
00:52:14
of back then, you know, >> it just it came to you. It's like Larry Bird, he said when basketball you first
00:52:18
got a basketball hands, he said the game came to me. >> So it just came to you.
00:52:23
>> It was it was it was you know >> and then you worked your ass off of
00:52:26
course. Well, I was it was I was encouraged to pursue it and it was fun to do improv in that and uh and then at
00:52:31
Second City I was learning all the techniques over again that I'd already I'd already known at 12 and 13 years old
00:52:37
at the little theater improv classes. Yeah. So, >> started early, you know. Um
00:52:42
>> it seems to me that in your part of this, we're talking to Michael McKeen
00:52:45
and you know the the Beatles and all the music of the 60s. Yeah. And then the trenling along with Peter Sers and then
00:52:52
you all kind of knew each other from 70 or 75 or you know it's very interesting
00:52:58
because you you were like the the Beatles of comedy to me the SNL cast. >> Well, you had the you had the Lampoon
00:53:04
crew. You had you know Chevy and you had Chris Guest >> and Harry Shearer and you had uh uh
00:53:11
Johnny uh Belalushi and uh >> and then you had the Gilda eventually because Belushi stole her away there
00:53:18
from Second City. Then you had the Canadian crew, Levy O'Hara, myself, Candy, Morannis, Thomas. Yeah, that was
00:53:26
>> so there were two and then and the ven diagram kind of crossed and some of
00:53:29
those people ended up working with each other on on various things. >> Um yeah, but I think my first
00:53:37
>> the first time like for as like getting interested in entertainment. Okay, I'm
00:53:42
in grade three now. What the hell? In grade three, I'm like, five years old,
00:53:47
maybe four. >> No, eight. >> I'm I'm grade three. >> So, I go uh
00:53:53
>> You're 17. >> I was I was I was young. I was, you know, five or three or four or five, I
00:53:59
guess, in grade three or something. >> Yes. So, what happened? >> And so, they they were doing an Irish uh
00:54:05
St. Patrick's Day concert and they compelled me to learn McNamera's band.
00:54:11
You know that song? Oh, Hennessy Tennessee to the flute. The music was something grand.
00:54:22
I know the melody. >> So, they put me in a green bowler and a green vest and a green pants and
00:54:27
leprechaun shoes, put me out on stage with a with a sink track and and I, you know, they made me learn it. They made
00:54:33
me stay back from school to learn it. And so this the concert comes and and we go I go to the concert and I start
00:54:42
singing and I'm like, "Oh, I'm just going to get through this. God, I
00:54:45
remember it vividly." Oh, God. And I get to the end and I and finish and give the
00:54:51
tap dance finish and howling the crowd they really you like that that much and I'm thinking to
00:55:01
myself, "Oh, wow. That's good." And so I was a big applause and they take me off
00:55:05
stage into the wings. I give back my bowler and I'm thinking, "Oh man, that
00:55:09
wow that that that was very very interesting." And then two of my friends, Ricky uh and Greg come up, Rick
00:55:15
Hollingsworth and Greg Chitivus, and they come up and they say, "Hey, yeah,
00:55:18
that was nothing, man." Like the like the the bad uh the bad donkeys in in bad
00:55:22
donkeys and over in uh you know in the uh in in Pinocchio, you know, the bad bad
00:55:29
you ain't Yeah. Yeah. You think that was good. You think that Come here. Come on
00:55:32
with us. Let me show you something. Let Let me show you this. Let's Let's show
00:55:35
you this. They take me across the street to the funeral home, across the street from the church hall where I did the
00:55:40
concert. >> So I go from the elation of singing McNamera's band and getting cheered.
00:55:45
Yeah. >> To two minutes later walking into the funeral home where seven bodies are laid
00:55:49
out. >> What? >> A family that had drowned in a car the night before. Seven. The father, the
00:55:54
mother, the sisters, the brother. >> Stock blockers don't want you to be
00:55:57
famous. >> I go this look at this. Look at this. And I walk in. I'll never forget that as
00:56:02
long as I like he he'd rolled his car in the in the Gatnau no river and drowned
00:56:06

00:58:43
>> Very nice. I did a movie with Prior. Very sensitive and sweet and uh >> Yeah. Great. Great.

00:59:10
>> I remember see I love Tom. I was a kid. I I didn't know, Dan, I'm so young. Um,
00:59:16
no, I'm not. But, uh, I was watching it going I never thought of being on Sing
00:59:19
Live. I just was every kid loves comedy and I was like, "Oh my goodness, Tom
00:59:23
Snder." I was just starting to get why it was so funny. I didn't really get the
00:59:27
depth of how funny it was. I'm like, "That's like the guy I just saw."
00:59:31
>> And it was so good. It was like that dumb little studio and it's little
00:59:34
lighting. You have a cigarette and >> all that stuff. I mean, Fred Garvin. Was
00:59:38
that was his name Fred Garvin? Male prostitute. >> That's right. Little lady.
00:59:44
>> Say for the lady. >> Yes. Little lady. That >> the name is funny. at the time because
00:59:49
that just sets his title and he announces himself that way. But you know the copycats and Rich Little and that
00:59:55
generation Frank Gorchman and those are the shows I was watching and >> I love those impressionists. Rich Little
01:00:02
to Fred Travalina extraordinarily gifted and that was like magic to me. But when you guys came in
01:00:10
and did them in a different a different context, it was just postmodern. Yeah. You know, it's just
01:00:15
>> a lot of great impressions on the show. For Hartman was spectacular. >> And we've we've referenced you and Phil.
01:00:22
There's a a connection personalitywise. You both have so many interests. >> Yeah.
01:00:28
>> Outside of being quas effortless performers and then would go read these journals.
01:00:35
>> He was a pilot. >> Yeah. He's a pilot. He was sailing. He was
01:00:39
>> I loved him. I loved him too. He was wonderful. >> You did Bilco with him, right?
01:00:43
>> Yeah, that's right. Yeah. >> Yeah. Here's to Phil Chris >> and a lot to be thankful for at this
01:00:52
time of year. Thanksgiving and Christmas. And uh the old vodka there in the skulls is available in stores all
01:00:58
over the nation. >> All over if you want to uh if you want to get a gift. >> Well, it makes a great gift. That's why
01:01:05
I'm on this kind of little tour here because it's giftgiving time of year and
01:01:09
we want to remind people that Thanksgiving and Christmas there's a a gift you can bring home and you know
01:01:14
everybody wants to get ahead. >> Well, where do you get it? Is there a website? Is there
01:01:23
>> uh worldwide web crystalheadvodka.com? It's in most uh uh liquor stores across
01:01:28
the country, chains and otherwise. Crystal head and um I think it's it's
01:01:33
got a pretty big brand name. I think people really are aware because there's a lot of
01:01:40
>> lot of room to grow. So yeah, >> see the bottle should be on your shelf
01:01:44
if you have liquor. It just looks Yeah, >> it tastes good. >> Should be on every bar. Yeah.
01:01:49
>> In the world. >> Crystal head. Just in just a few seconds before we get out of here. How'd you
01:01:54
come up with that name? Well, it's based on the legend of the Crystal Heads,
01:01:57
which uh >> from Indiana Jones >> uh was referenced in the Ind Indiana
01:02:01
Jones movie. Um and uh they made a movie about it. In fact, we were developing the concept kind of right in parallel.
01:02:09
And I find out that Steven's doing this movie >> about Crystal Heads. So, I actually
01:02:14
called him to take a meeting to tell him, >> you know, we're not copying your
01:02:18
enterprise here. we started at the same time and it takes two years to build a project like this and so
01:02:26
>> I said you know when your movie comes out we will be out on the marketplace we
01:02:30
will have been out a little before but um I I explained to him that we and it wasn't kind of a plagiarism and it
01:02:36
wasn't really um uh Crystal had uh there were 13 of them >> what if he stole it from you
01:02:42
>> uh I don't no the lead time doesn't work out in terms of like when the both
01:02:46
projects came to fruition >> um but uh the Navajo, the Aztec, the Mayans were supposed to have had these
01:02:52
heads and uh and they were used for crystal balls. And so we decided we were doing this vodka that had no fluids uh
01:03:01
that were pollutants, glycols, sugar, >> lemonine, clean. And so we wanted to
01:03:07
sell the idea of enlightened >> purified drinking of beverage, alcohol, and this was the perfect package to put
01:03:13
in it. Put it in. Yeah. >> Very clean. >> Yeah. It came from that. I have one more
01:03:17
question before this young man uh takes off. Uh during that um when you leave SNL, you did a lot of big movies. You
01:03:25
probably got offered some. Any ones that you wish you did or is there movies that
01:03:28
you got offered >> other than James Bond? >> I Yeah, I would have liked
01:03:33
>> Spies Like Us. >> I don't >> Oh, Spies Like Us was so [ __ ] great.
01:03:37
>> I don't know that I was offered anything that I I turned down and it became I No,
01:03:42
I don't think so. >> No regrets where you go. Oh, I should have done that one. Spies Us was unreal.
01:03:46
That was you and Chvy. >> Uh yeah, I did I did audition for things that I didn't get.
01:03:50
>> Oh, >> the uh the People Versus Larry Flint. >> Um I auditioned for the part of the
01:03:56
lawyer played by uh >> um Edward Norton. >> Oh, okay. >> And I auditioned for Milos Foreman,
01:04:03
>> you know, and I read it a couple of times. Dan, Dan, do you work with him?
01:04:06
>> I auditioned for Amadeas. >> Oh, did you? Yeah. Dan, Dan, Dan, Dan,
01:04:11
Dan, stop acting. >> Stop acting. He goes, >> he was too bored with me. I don't know.
01:04:18
He just said, "I think we're READY TO MOVE ON." >> YEAH. YEAH.
01:04:22
>> During yours, >> well, I didn't know what I was doing, but I did. I saw the movie and I go,
01:04:26
"Okay, I see." They wanted a blondhaired cherubic guy >> boy jeans. Off script and do Chopping
01:04:32
Broccoli. >> No, but I I wanted to be on Saturday Night Live. >> Yeah, I know. My thing. And you guys
01:04:40
did. And you were great. And you know, today your your stuff endures just as strongly as anything that we ever did on
01:04:46
that first cast. You're you know, if you look at Church Lady and all your impressions and uh you know, and
01:04:52
everything, you know, and your your flight attendant, of course, classic, a classic, a classic. My all of it great.
01:04:59
>> My theory is this is that music and comedy just have to reflect the times.
01:05:04
>> And so we were for our time. Yeah. And then I don't ever want to be a grumpy
01:05:08
old man about Taylor Swift. She's no John Lennon, you know, that kind of thing. I sat and tried to really do a
01:05:14
deep dive into Taylor Swift because I want to know and she's incredibly skilled.
01:05:19
>> And um same thing with Saturday Night Live now. This is their era >> and they're great.
01:05:23
>> Yeah. >> And they're great. And Higgins said, Steve Higgins just said Lauren, he said
01:05:28
Lauren wrote the Constitution >> and then everyone interprets it for their time, for their era. So
01:05:34
>> now the show's been really really great. The Halloween show was outstanding
01:05:39
writing. Really, really, very smart. >> Gerber, we had him on the podcast a couple days
01:05:47
later. He was he's a great comic. >> He's a really good writer and he's he's
01:05:51
so excited about that. He'd only done talk shows, >> quality work, all of it.
01:05:56

01:06:05
Very quiet. >> Good. >> I'm not in the cities. I'm I'm I'm in

>> Yeah. Right. All right. The old Black National. Yeah. >> Oh, yeah. Black Grand National.
01:06:17
>> Every store you go to and everyone knows your name kind of thing. Nobody
01:06:22
going on the motorcycle or take one of the old, you know, the old cars in. >> It seems to me just just from afar,
01:06:27
you've always had one foot still in whatever you call regular life, >> I would say. So, friends, get a steak. I
01:06:35
don't know. I've heard things, but it seems like you've always >> Oh, sure. Sure. Well, of course. After
01:06:39
for sanity. Yeah. But I don't like living in cities anymore. I prefer to live in the country just because I have
01:06:44
tinitus. >> You know, the ringing and also to sleep at night, the blackness.
01:06:49
>> You need the blackness to sleep >> and the where I have a place that the
01:06:54
mountaineer is coming in. >> And I can open my eyes or close my eyes. Still black.

>> Black. >> Yeah. Yeah. >> And dead quiet. All I hear is the coyotes. Sometimes throw a party. But it
01:07:05
