00:00:15
the office.
00:00:17

00:00:24
Schneider.
00:00:24
>> Yeah. For those of you who maybe missed
00:00:27
this when we had him on, it's worth a
00:00:29
listen. There's something about him that
00:00:31
is so interesting and he is he's got
00:00:34
such a wide range of things he's
00:00:36
interested into as well as comedy and
00:00:38
performing in movies, but um it's a fun
00:00:41
fun little listen I would
00:00:43

happy accident there.
00:00:58
>> It did pretty well.
00:01:00
>> Unbelievable.
00:01:02
>> I think one of the Ghostbusters was
00:01:03
going to be Eddie Murphy. I think one
00:01:05
was going to be Belushi
00:01:07
and it didn't work out. I think Eddie
00:01:08
Murphy says that's the only movie he
00:01:10
regrets not doing.
00:01:12
>> I regret that they never made the sequel
00:01:14
to Ghostbusters in a western theme
00:01:16
called Bronbusters. Ghostbusters.
00:01:19
>> Yeah, there was some and talk about
00:01:21

00:01:58
>> Chris.
00:01:59
>> Yeah. And if you treat him normal, they

00:04:57
don't that's the term I'm in college
00:05:00
you're doing Jimmy Carter on Saturday
00:05:01
Night Live I'm recording it with a
00:05:04
cassette and trying to steal
00:05:06
>> you know playing at little teeny clothes
00:05:08
steal your Jimmy Carter
00:05:10
and was in awe of it. And then
00:05:13
>> to use where what were you going
00:05:14
>> in clubs? I was just trying to do what
00:05:16
you guys did. You guys were like to me
00:05:18
like badass rebel pirates.
00:05:22
>> Yeah.
00:05:22
>> I think of Bill Murray and you.
00:05:24
>> We That's so accurate an analysis of us.
00:05:28
It re It really is.
00:05:30
>> Well, I think Well, we were little. Look
00:05:31
at us. We're like little We're tiny
00:05:33
people, but you guys were kind of
00:05:34
strapping all over six feet. You would
00:05:37
punch a guy or make him laugh. Yeah. But
00:05:40
um and so you do you you'd copy the
00:05:42
Jimmy Well, Jimmy Carter, you know, he
00:05:44
had that he had that eye contact and a
00:05:47
very soft way of approaching things and
00:05:49
>> yeah,
00:05:49
>> he ended up being, you know, one of the
00:05:51
great post presidents and uh really uh a
00:05:55
giant figure.
00:05:56
>> You know what's interesting about him?
00:05:57
Because I became fascinated by him
00:05:58
because he's constantly referred to. So
00:06:01
I read this book about him, could not
00:06:03
understand the idea of deficit spending.
00:06:05
He was like, "I don't understand how we
00:06:08
take in this much money." Yeah.
00:06:09
>> And we're gonna give out that much
00:06:11
money. It makes no sense to me. But uh
00:06:14
my Jimmy Carter I do now, I still do all
00:06:16
the presidents is that he had a nervous
00:06:18
breakdown. Put peanut butter on his
00:06:19
head. We wandered around the White
00:06:20
House. Sir, are you okay? You got peanut
00:06:22
butter on your head. No, I don't. I'm a
00:06:24
peanut butter man. I got peanut butter
00:06:25
hair, peanut butter soup, peanut butter
00:06:27
tie, peanut butter shoes. I'm a peanut
00:06:29
butter peanut butter. I'm doing you. But
00:06:31
here's the thing that got me crazy, Dan,
00:06:33
is when you you were visiting SNL and
00:06:36
then you praised my George Bush Senior
00:06:38
impression. So, it was like 10 years
00:06:40
later. So, that just No,
00:06:42
>> you know, these things are
00:06:43
>> Carter was unbelievable. You know, he he
00:06:45
was a nuclear uh physicist and an
00:06:47
engineer in the Navy and he helped set
00:06:49
up Canada's reactor program.
00:06:52
>> There was a there was a captain of a
00:06:53
nuclear he he troubleshooted uh
00:06:56
>> went up to Ottawa, my hometown there,
00:06:58
and troubleshooted a reactor problem
00:06:59
they had at one point. Jesus.
00:07:00
>> In what year? Before president or
00:07:03
>> Oh, yeah. No, when he was, you know,
00:07:04
>> just some president walks in. Let me
00:07:05
take a look.
00:07:07
>> You know, 60.
00:07:07
>> I'll get back to the economy. I'm going
00:07:09
to do this reactive for the Ottawans.
00:07:11
>> Yeah. But well, the deficit spending,
00:07:12
you know, you know,
00:07:15
look, we live in a country uh that is in
00:07:19
fiat a fiat uh currency. Well, Canada as
00:07:23
well say, you know, fiat currency is all
00:07:26
you do is you just print more money if
00:07:27
you need it. And so, you know, spending,
00:07:30
you got to spend the money. People need
00:07:31
it. Uh, you got to spend it.
00:07:33
>> We're doing that.
00:07:34
>> And we're doing it. Yeah. We We've got a
00:07:36
We've almost got
00:07:37
>> Let it sit on the shelf.
00:07:39
>> No, it shouldn't. A third world uh debt
00:07:41
uh debt load right now, right?
00:07:43
>> But because we can print more,
00:07:46
>> why not spread it?
00:07:47
>> It's a never ending thing. Modern
00:07:48
monetary theory. Now, we're getting
00:07:51
close to a trillion in interest on this.
00:07:54
It's really formula vodka. A little bit
00:07:57
of that. I poured some for myself.
00:07:59

00:08:03
Um, made in Canada. No.
00:08:05
>> Can I ask you a question about this?
00:08:07
Because
00:08:07
>> Yeah, we don't have to talk about the
00:08:08
vodka. We can talk.
00:08:09
>> No, I want to talk. We'll hop around.
00:08:11
>> This is going to integrate into you as a
00:08:15

vodka and saw
00:10:16
>> that uh you know uh that they were uh
00:10:19
kind of polluting it a bit and so Johnny
00:10:21

for the skull. Remember him, you know,
00:10:24
Johnny Johnny Alexander the artist.
00:10:27
>> Yeah.
00:10:27

>> Uh he was very magnanimous. But anyway,
00:10:57
uh Johnny uh uh I got it back because uh
00:11:00
not that I took her away from him. That
00:11:02
was kind of over with Lauren and Rosie
00:11:03
at the time. But I uh was with uh Rosie
00:11:06
and she fell in love with Johnny and
00:11:08
dumped me. And now we're f Yeah. Now

00:12:25
>> Now listen,
00:12:26
>> man. Now, when you do when you do this,
00:12:29
you're saying the other vodkas,
00:12:31
>> they have some of those things you're
00:12:32
saying that are in it. I didn't know all
00:12:34
the words, but they might make for a
00:12:36
hangover.
00:12:38
>> Uh the glycol certainly would.
00:12:40
>> Okay. Yeah. So, when you have too many
00:12:41
things in it, it's not great for
00:12:42
>> Yeah. No, no, of course. No. You you you
00:12:44
get to eight shots of this, even without
00:12:46
the pollutants in there, you're going to
00:12:48
It is ethyl alcohol. So, you know, you
00:12:50
got to be kind of uh One of our new
00:12:52
sponsors, I guess, is trying to mitigate
00:12:54
that problem.
00:12:55
>> Oh, we have one of ours that says it
00:12:57
helps
00:12:57
>> you take this. But you know what?
00:12:59
>> Oh, it it it doesn't that doesn't have
00:13:01
hangovers.
00:13:01
>> It mitigates them.
00:13:03
>> It's not vodka. It's saying it helps you
00:13:04
with a hangover. It's not a vodka.
00:13:06
>> Well, you know, try it.
00:13:08
>> Yeah. Try it. I mean,
00:13:10
>> now, by the way, the House of Blues,
00:13:12
Dan, you don't know this. You were part
00:13:15
of the House of Blues
00:13:16
>> and it was across the street.
00:13:17
>> I'm so sad it's gone. They dug up the
00:13:19
coolest place in the world and now it's
00:13:21
some dumpy hotel that nobody cares
00:13:23
about.
00:13:24
>> Live Nation uh bought House of Blues in
00:13:26
2007. And
00:13:27
>> how much do they pay for?
00:13:29
>> They paid sever several hundred million.
00:13:31
>> Okay. basically to save the company
00:13:34
>> because it had had many challenges and
00:13:36
they they came in and saved the company
00:13:37
because
00:13:38
>> okay
00:13:39
>> you know the dotcom bomb 2008
00:13:42
>> uh all kinds of things uh 9/11 all kinds
00:13:45
of things fought against house of blue
00:13:47
survival and Live Nation came in and
00:13:49
saved the company in 2500 jobs
00:13:51
>> and then uh across the street here they
00:13:54
the lease holder uh basically wanted the
00:13:57
building back and so they just paid Live
00:13:59
Nation you know a sum to say we to build
00:14:02
our own thing here and
00:14:04
>> and Live Nation looked at it
00:14:05
economically and said, you know, we'd
00:14:06
have to run a restaurant here for the
00:14:08
next 50 years to make the money that was
00:14:10
offered. So, you I understood the
00:14:12
decision, but it's too bad they took out
00:14:14
our beautiful bar with the steel curved
00:14:17
steel and uh that was my office. I mean,
00:14:19
I hung
00:14:19
>> I saw the go- go there. I saw so many so
00:14:21
many great spot. There's one in Vegas.
00:14:23
>> There's a there's a cool one in Anaheim,
00:14:25
Vegas. They're still out there. Yes. And
00:14:26
Oh, yeah. There's 11 of them. And um and
00:14:29
and they are uh they're rocking. And the
00:14:31
one in Chicago was just great.
00:14:32
>> Yeah, Chicago.
00:14:33
>> It's a great brand. So, so another
00:14:35
business thing you got into it seems to
00:14:38
me just listening to you, it's a super
00:14:40
creative
00:14:41
>> expression of yourself
00:14:43
>> because the first time I met you and you
00:14:44
sat us all, you were visiting SNL was me
00:14:47
and Phil and John. My first season, we
00:14:49
were at a restaurant. First thing you
00:14:51
said was, "Don't be in a hurry to leave
00:14:52
the show."
00:14:54
>> And the second one was just about
00:14:56
business and pay attention.
00:14:58
>> Well, it's show business, right? You
00:15:00
know? Yeah, but that I remembered that
00:15:02
to this day.
00:15:02
>> It's always great to have great
00:15:03
adviserss and uh you know I've any work
00:15:06
that I've done that I'm proud of, it's
00:15:08
because I've been with wonderful
00:15:09
collaborators. Any success I I've had,
00:15:11
it's consulting people who are smarter
00:15:13
than me in many areas and and uh just
00:15:15
the the fun of working with with with
00:15:18
just great people uh all all the way
00:15:20
through. Um Eddie, you know, Murphy and
00:15:22
Murray and and and all of them.
00:15:24
>> Jesus Christ.
00:15:25
>> Yeah. And then and and Love it, of
00:15:26
course, we we just think of him as he's
00:15:29
as far as I'm concerned, he's the price
00:15:31
of he's worth the price of admission to
00:15:33
SNL generally is Love it.
00:15:36
>> Justin Love it was there. You know,
00:15:38
>> why
00:15:40
so funny?
00:15:41
>> I don't know where he got that.
00:15:43
>> He is spectacular. He I did this thing.
00:15:45
It's going to be out in the next year.
00:15:46
>> Uh the world in six glasses. It's a
00:15:48
documentary talking about all the fluids
00:15:50
that have influenced man mind over time.
00:15:53
And I had him on there. He came on and
00:15:55
well that was one of the most fun. Yeah.
00:15:57
Huh.
00:15:58
>> I'll do it.
00:15:59
>> He's so [ __ ]
00:16:01
>> He's just always You put him in The
00:16:03
Wedding Singer. He's funny.
00:16:04
>> Yeah.
00:16:05
>> I've I've had him in movies. He's great.
00:16:07
>> No, he is. He is
00:16:09
>> jealous.
00:16:09
>> Yeah,
00:16:10
>> that's his big one.
00:16:11
>> By the way, hey, I like your glasses.
00:16:12
Jealous.
00:16:13
>> Yeah. Yeah.
00:16:14
>> You mentioned uh Trading Places and I uh
00:16:17
I mean there's too many things to ask
00:16:18
Dan Award about. I know.
00:16:20
>> There's not much to ask other than to
00:16:21
fawn over things, but Trading Places was
00:16:24
one of the
00:16:25
>> those movies that just hit us hard and
00:16:28
it was an R-rated movie and it was so
00:16:30
[ __ ] funny. And then
00:16:31
>> you just So, I I don't want to say did
00:16:33
you know it going in, but you know, you
00:16:35
get to work with Eddie and uh did you
00:16:36
know him well at all or was just was it
00:16:38
was it a gamble to put Eddie in?
00:16:40
>> Um nobody. Um well, I think uh you know
00:16:44
>> he did the Walter Hill movie.
00:16:45
>> The Walter Hill movie and then Paramount
00:16:47
said, "Yeah, he'd be good." Mhm.
00:16:50
>> And uh somehow that pairing came
00:16:52
together. I didn't know him before we
00:16:54
started. Of course, he was spectacular
00:16:55
to see that talent grow
00:16:58
>> and what he did in that film. And when I
00:17:00
read the script, it was so intelligently
00:17:02
written. And uh I thought, yeah, I I
00:17:05
that this would be a great thing to play
00:17:07
and have have fun on because it was
00:17:09
certainly different from, you know,
00:17:12
anything I'd done before. and uh and
00:17:14
then Landis directing it because he we
00:17:17
made a couple of things together. So it
00:17:19
was you know all the all the cylinders
00:17:21
were clicking on
00:17:22
>> kind of like a 30s screw ball comedy in
00:17:24
that sense of
00:17:25
>> it wasn't you know
00:17:26
>> so fun and easy to watch. It was written
00:17:28
by uh a pair of writers, Winero and
00:17:30
Harris and they wrote it
00:17:32
>> um and corresponded I heard by Fax
00:17:35
Machine to write it.
00:17:36
>> Uh and uh and I believe they did one
00:17:39
other film but that was certainly their
00:17:41
most famous uh
00:17:42
>> and wellknown one and so well done and
00:17:45
uh you know well directed with great
00:17:47
actors in it. Yeah, that's a triple AAA.
00:17:49
I'm proud of that one. Jamie Lee. Jesus.
00:17:51
Jamie Lee was so we were in love with
00:17:54
nature.
00:17:54
>> Everything was working. And uh you
00:17:57
eating the salmon out of your beard. I
00:17:58
mean, I don't know if it's an ad lip or
00:18:00
what, but those are the texture things
00:18:02
in movies where they stick with you
00:18:04
forever.
00:18:04
>> I think that was I have a beard on, I
00:18:06
see the salmon,
00:18:08
>> you know, I'm going for it.
00:18:10
>> Yeah. There's the, you know, you come
00:18:11
into the set, you know, you're looking
00:18:13
around stuff you can use all the time.
00:18:15
You know, we're desperate. What how do I
00:18:17
fill it with business? What? So, I have
00:18:19
this beard and I'm I there's a salmon
00:18:22
like, "Oh, yeah."
00:18:23
>> Oh, yeah. I don't know if it was
00:18:24
scripted or not, but I I kind of
00:18:25
remember it being spontaneous. I'm going
00:18:27
to pick it up.
00:18:28
>> Beer. I'm going to go for it.
00:18:30
>> But that's great because you look at
00:18:31
scenes and and uh and I almost forget
00:18:34
that you you know, we did Tommy Boy and
00:18:36
same thing. You you look at a day shoot
00:18:38
and you go,
00:18:39
>> is there anything funny here? There's a
00:18:40
clip on with Farley. We were like, let's
00:18:42
in the night before we're like, hey, can
00:18:44
he bring a can you guys give us a clip
00:18:45
on just for one laugh so we can It's all
00:18:48
about brake pads. It was hard to make it
00:18:50
that everything funny. That reminds me
00:18:52
of that. You get there, you see a
00:18:53
salmon, you see a beard, you chew the
00:18:55
beard and
00:18:56
>> and Landis was generous with that, you
00:18:58
know.
00:18:59
>> Oh,
00:18:59
>> about just grabbing things. So, he was
00:19:01
smart.
00:19:02
>> No, no, he he he lets the performer go,
00:19:03
you know. You know, and you mentioned
00:19:05
Farley, of course. Dearly beloved,
00:19:07
dearly beloved, you know.
00:19:08
>> Of course, Mr. Akroy. Oh jeez.
00:19:13
>> Could he be more in love with Dan Ara?
00:19:16
It's unreal.
00:19:16
>> I don't think so. Man, cone heads when
00:19:19
he was in the cone heads. He played the
00:19:21
beautiful part.
00:19:21
>> Oh, he was good at con.
00:19:22
>> Yeah, he was great.
00:19:24
>> Oh yeah. You know when he do he would do
00:19:26
stuff on the set and he'd move his head
00:19:28
and we're like that's Akroyd, that's
00:19:30
Bill Murray, that's Bali.
00:19:31
>> But the sweetest the sweetest sweetest

00:19:50
churchgoing, you know, churchgoer. And
00:19:53
>> Yeah. Yeah. That uh
00:19:55
>> we had a blast on we had a blast on
00:19:57
Tommy Boy. I remember one night when you
00:19:58
we were in like a
00:20:00
>> I think you were showing us is that
00:20:03
where Rob Lo gets hitting the balls? I
00:20:04
don't want to give the whole movie away,
00:20:05
but when we uh we're in like we we shot
00:20:08
like 24 hours and we had some factory in
00:20:10
Toronto.
00:20:11
>> We got to go up there and uh
00:20:13
>> we were getting tired.
00:20:14

00:20:21
things and then just to have you from
00:20:24
the guy we love to be in the movie and
00:20:26
then the movie worked out.
00:20:27
>> Yeah, it did.
00:20:28
>> Oh, so much.
00:20:28
>> That's a good picture. That's a really
00:20:30
good picture. The deer scene. I mean,
00:20:32
>> oh god,
00:20:32
>> that happened to Franken and Davis, you
00:20:34
know.
00:20:34
>> Oh, was that deer came alive? a a car
00:20:37
they it went through the the windshield.
00:20:39
Yeah. And Yeah.
00:20:40
>> I think that happens a lot. But uh but I
00:20:42
don't know how many times a deer comes
00:20:43
back alive,
00:20:44
>> but uh the other
00:20:46
>> I think I think I think in their case it
00:20:48
might have.
00:20:48
>> Oh wow.
00:20:49
>> Yeah. I think
00:20:50
>> Frank was like,
00:20:52
>> "Well, we got a deer in the back of the
00:20:54
car." Well, you've got to be here. We've
00:20:56
got a show. Just you we'll take care of
00:20:58
the deer later.
00:20:59
>> Oh, I got to tell him we had Michael
00:21:01
McKan on. Remember Michael McKen?
00:21:02
>> Of course. Of course. I know. His
00:21:04
resume. It's like yours. It's like
00:21:06
exhausting.
00:21:07
>> And they're making spinal tap again, I
00:21:10
hope.
00:21:10
>> Oh, I don't know. We didn't ask.
00:21:12
>> There's rumors of that.
00:21:14
>> We don't ask the good questions.
00:21:16
>> We just spawn. But uh we were talking
00:21:18
about conuts. He was my partner in
00:21:20
Coneheads
00:21:20
>> and I was telling Dana that we were the
00:21:22
uh immigration guys. Yeah.
00:21:24
>> Not kind of the bad guys or whatever,
00:21:26
you know. And um and it was peppered
00:21:28
with we didn't mention it, but I think
00:21:29
Sandler was in the movie. Farley had a
00:21:31
big part.
00:21:31
>> It was his first uh movie appearance.
00:21:33
Sandler.
00:21:34

00:21:47
If you watch it, you go, "Whoa." Hey,
00:21:49
oh, look who that is.
00:21:50
>> It was a very good serviceable family
00:21:52
comedy and it it certainly endures
00:21:53
today. No doubt about it.
00:21:54
>> Serviceable. I think that wasn't in the
00:21:56
pitch.
00:21:58
>> They Well, you know, they always barely
00:22:00
No, I love cone heads. I told Dana and
00:22:03
Michael that Michael didn't know this.
00:22:05
So, you know,
00:22:05
>> it was supposed to come out at
00:22:06
Halloween. They rushed it if it had
00:22:08
come.
00:22:08
>> Oh, is that what happened?
00:22:09
>> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Stanley Jaffy there at

00:22:16
Lauren and I were thinking Halloween,
00:22:18
Halloween, but now we need it now. We
00:22:20

00:22:21
have done better at at Halloween, but it
00:22:23
did as a all of these things have a life
00:22:25
now.

00:23:15
yeah but It's over. It's here where my
00:23:17
shirt is and it's on my legs and you
00:23:18
can't see it. And I'm in a scene with
00:23:20
you and
00:23:20
>> could have infested the whole
00:23:22
>> every Oh yeah. And he goes, "Okay, hang
00:23:24
on." And they go shutting down the set.
00:23:26
I'm like, "What's going on?" I I didn't
00:23:28
even connect it to me.
00:23:29
>> And so they sent everyone home and uh I
00:23:32
don't even know if you're working that
00:23:33
day, but I was like, "Oh my god." And so
00:23:35
and then someone goes, "That's going to
00:23:37
cause the studio. You're in trouble."
00:23:38
Everything was terrifying me to get
00:23:39
fired. But wound up being a blast. But
00:23:42
uh that's remembering you have the
00:23:45
chickenpox way late.
00:23:46
>> Yeah,
00:23:47
>> I know. You didn't get a kid. That's so
00:23:49
>> when I was such a weak little puss of a
00:23:51
kid. I got uh measles knocked me out for
00:23:54
three weeks which was abnormal
00:23:56
>> when you were 37 or what?
00:23:57
>> No, that I got when I was a normal kid.
00:23:59
>> Okay. But I was uh very frail. You can't
00:24:01
tell this athlete that sits in front of
00:24:03

00:24:03
>> No, that's right.
00:24:06
>> Marathon runner.
00:24:07
>> Marathon runner. Dane is a marathon
00:24:08

00:24:08
>> That was such a fun picture, Consson.
00:24:10
And it was we had a great cast.
00:24:12
>> Yeah.
00:24:12
>> And Yeah. Yeah. It it's I'm proud of
00:24:14

00:24:16

00:24:17
>> Do you I mean this is just fan type
00:24:19
questions like when you look at

>> You will be spared.
00:24:22
>> You take you take a drag net. You take

>> You will be spared. I will place both of

Say no more of it. Goodbye.

end. They brought me in for an extra
00:24:37
scene and goes there will be and I go.
00:24:39
>> Yeah, that was so just mocking
00:24:41
everything you said. I just said

>> Were there two Conan movies or just one?
00:24:54
>> Just one there. Hey, listen. I would do
00:24:55
that character in a second. In fact, I
00:24:57
have a story idea, but you know, I'm too
00:25:00
busy now, you know, and no one's going
00:25:02
to listen to a story idea.
00:25:03
>> How do you sleep at night?
00:25:04
>> Cone heads. No one's going to want
00:25:05
another Cone Heads out there. Paramount
00:25:07
Plus. No.
00:25:08
>> Paramount Plus.
00:25:10
>> Hulu was waiting. I know the guy who
00:25:12
runs
00:25:12
>> Crystal Vodka the movie.
00:25:14
>> I'm going to text him.
00:25:15
>> Yeah. No, I was I was on Hulu there. I
00:25:17
was I did a little show called Zombie
00:25:19
Town in RS Stein, you know, the
00:25:21
Goosebumps author. Yeah. So, it's on
00:25:23
Hulu now. It's called Zombie Town. And
00:25:25
it's like it's like, okay, now children
00:25:28
of America, you're going to have to
00:25:30
learn about zombies. This is an
00:25:31
introductory movie about zombies for
00:25:33
you. gentle and soft and kind of funny
00:25:35
and a little scary.
00:25:37
>> Yeah. So that you can step up to, you
00:25:39
know, totally the world of Z. What's
00:25:40
that Z?
00:25:42
>> The World War Z.
00:25:42
>> World War Z. I remember Lauren asked me
00:25:45
when his kids were little girls. I I I
00:25:47
don't really understand Scooby-Doo.
00:25:50
>> And I said, "Yeah, I don't really get
00:25:52
why they love it." And it was to your
00:25:54
point, it was the first time when
00:25:56
they're a certain age, it's a little
00:25:58
scary. The mask comes off, there's a
00:26:00
haunted person. So that's that was the
00:26:02
rocket fuel for that.
00:26:03
>> Get them. Yeah.
00:26:04
>> You stepped them up to The Exorcist.
00:26:06
>> That's right. That's I saw it at 17.
00:26:09
Still haven't unseen it.
00:26:11
>> But is even too early.
00:26:14
>> Yeah.
00:26:14
>> Well, we went in. We
00:26:15
>> I've never seen it.
00:26:16
>> We You don't see it. It's It's
00:26:17
>> I'm too scared.
00:26:18
>> I guess it's brilliant.
00:26:19
>> It's brilliant.
00:26:20
>> I believe in that [ __ ] I'm a paranormal
00:26:21
guy like Danny.
00:26:27
>> Dan, you believe in UFOs? I believe that
00:26:31
they're real.
00:26:32
Everyone believes in UFOs. It's just
00:26:34
where are they coming from is the only
00:26:36
But of course there's
00:26:37
>> I I know they're real. You can be a
00:26:39
skeptic and say, "Oh, well,
00:26:40
>> I'm not a skeptic, but I do have a
00:26:42
question for you."
00:26:43
>> Where are they're coming from? All all
00:26:44
different species. There's probably
00:26:46
dozens of them.
00:26:46
>> Do they come from the ocean?
00:26:48
>> It there may be bases there and and and
00:26:50
go ahead. The question is, look, I'm I'm
00:26:53
totally cuz I whenever I'm thinking
00:26:55
about supernatural stuff and I always
00:26:57
go, we're here. So, the greatest
00:26:59
supernatural thing is that we exist
00:27:01
right now talking here. How'd we get
00:27:02
here? What are we doing here? What's you
00:27:05
know, so I'm open-minded to all of it.
00:27:07
What I was curious about the United
00:27:08
States Air Force that the sightings of
00:27:11
the UFOs seem to be stuck in kind of a
00:27:14
black and white herkyjerky 1950s motif.
00:27:18
>> Yeah.
00:27:18
>> Can't they get more sophisticated
00:27:20
cameras on these suckers? So we can
00:27:21
really
00:27:22
>> Well, there's more footage coming out uh
00:27:24
and uh it is all governed now by the new
00:27:26
office at the Pentagon that handles this
00:27:28
and it is called the
00:27:30
>> all domain because they go in water.
00:27:33
They fly through water at thousand miles
00:27:35
an hour. So space sky water all domain
00:27:39
anomalous it you don't know what it is
00:27:42
>> resolution because they have to resolve.
00:27:44
They've got military craft and and and
00:27:46
equipment being exposed. So, it's the uh
00:27:48
all domain anomalous resolution office
00:27:51
to figure out what they are.
00:27:53
>> And so, that's uh we actually have a
00:27:55
Pentagon department now that's working
00:27:56
on that or a branch that's working and
00:27:58
you know uh all those sightings will be
00:28:00
uh brought in by the military and
00:28:02
brought in by uh civilians and and and
00:28:05
analyzed there. So, it it's real.
00:28:08
>> Again, your question who, where, where
00:28:10
are they coming from, why I think a lot
00:28:13
of them are just tourists. I think it's
00:28:15
not as scary a little bit because
00:28:18
>> they and I'm scared of them even though
00:28:19
I I do tons of
00:28:20
>> dimensional but I think they
00:28:23
>> they would have done whatever they're
00:28:24
going to done. They're already here.
00:28:25
They've been here a million times. They
00:28:27
would they can take us out if they want.
00:28:28
That's why I feel a little easier.
00:28:30
>> They're not I don't I don't think
00:28:31
they're a threat. However, you know, I'm
00:28:34
>> kidding. If you talk to some of the
00:28:35
aviators down near Marina del Rey with
00:28:38
fire department, the police department,
00:28:40
the sheriff's department, helicopters
00:28:42
and such, they see them all the time
00:28:44
>> and and they seem to be bugging them and
00:28:46
and flying them, flying around and like
00:28:48
challenging them.
00:28:49
>> I'm so
00:28:50
>> Do you feel in a way, Dan, you were
00:28:51
ahead of your time in a sense because
00:28:53
now it's going more mainstream?
00:28:54
>> Yes, you were with the Pentagon and it's
00:28:57
more acknowledged
00:28:59
>> and you've been talking about it. four
00:29:00
of them and my mother we've seen two
00:29:02
here unidentified
00:29:05
>> and my mother saw one that was why I got
00:29:08
interested in it. My mother saw one in
00:29:10
1947 and she worked in the aircraft
00:29:12
production
00:29:13
>> uh ministry in World War II uh at at
00:29:16
with
00:29:17
>> in Ottawa during the war in aircraft
00:29:19
production for the fuselages on the
00:29:21
hurricane. So she knew aircraft and she
00:29:23
said in 1947 she saw one on uh uh uh the
00:29:28
sparks spark street there you know.
00:29:31
Yeah back then
00:29:32
>> they were Yeah. Yeah. They kind of going
00:29:34
everywhere. Yeah. I don't I don't think
00:29:36
they want a formal relationship with us
00:29:38
but they will take advantage of us using
00:29:40
>> technology. Do you have any sense of
00:29:41
being connected to uh 2001 of space
00:29:44
odyssey? Just the idea that we were
00:29:46
seated here by an alien race
00:29:49
>> uh still seems a fascinating You know,
00:29:51
one of the favorite movies of a lot of
00:29:52
people at NASA is the movie that uh that
00:29:55
was uh that was made, Mission to Mars,
00:29:57
with what with had the face the face on
00:30:00
Mars in it.
00:30:01
>> And the theory was Gary
00:30:02
>> Senise.
00:30:03
>> Uh yeah, I think so. And uh Mission to
00:30:06
Mars. It wasn't the one with Matt Damon.
00:30:08
Matt Damon. That was
00:30:09
>> No, no, Gary. This this postulated that
00:30:13
>> we were seated here and and there was
00:30:15
some help was was uh you know, there was
00:30:17
some help.
00:30:17
>> Yeah. And so a lot of NASA personnel uh
00:30:21
see that as a kind of a viable concept
00:30:24
from what I've you know what I
00:30:25
understand.
00:30:26
>> Well, of course everything's on the
00:30:28
table unless someone has all this
00:30:30
figured out.
00:30:31
>> Have you seen any aliens? Cuz they have
00:30:33
pictures of them. They have
00:30:34
>> I don't I never No, never seen.
00:30:35
>> But you know they're you know that
00:30:37
people have seen pictures.
00:30:38
>> Yeah. Sure. Sure. No. All kind. And you
00:30:41
know my poltergeist or whatever you call
00:30:43
them experiences that are
00:30:45
>> Yeah. Yeah.
00:30:46
>> Um
00:30:47
>> Yeah. You really went through that.
00:30:49
>> Yeah. And it was annoying to you that
00:30:52
your experiences it wasn't something you
00:30:54
enjoyed, right? It was
00:30:55
>> No. What? Well, the one that was the
00:30:58
Well, there's there's many of them, but
00:31:00
in this house we have up in Northern
00:31:01
California. It was built in 1912.
00:31:04
There's three bedrooms upstairs. And so
00:31:06
one night, and I didn't know what white
00:31:08
noise was at this point,
00:31:10
>> believe it or not. I just had not. It
00:31:12
was the '9s or whatever. So I wake up to
00:31:14
this
00:31:16
like a FM radio between channels, right?
00:31:18
I'm going, why is everyone sleeping? So
00:31:21
I walk around and by the time I get in
00:31:22
the room, I don't hear it. But it was
00:31:24
not a waking dream state. It wasn't like
00:31:26
a nightmare. It was just like, what the
00:31:29
heck? And so that room I also had some
00:31:33
when I slept in there once because
00:31:34
company's over. I had an experience
00:31:36
there. But I've become less afraid of it
00:31:38
because
00:31:39
>> if it starts to happen, I just sort of
00:31:41
go with it now. Yeah. You know. Well, it
00:31:43
happens to millions of people. Hence
00:31:44
Holtzer, H O L Z- Er. He was the great
00:31:47
Ghostbuster and he has a great number of
00:31:50
books upon, you know, dealing with all
00:31:52
of the things that he he dealt with in
00:31:53
his career.
00:31:54
>> Is that how Ghostbusters started is you
00:31:56
just got into all that?
00:31:57
>> Well, my family was into it. My
00:31:58
great-grandfather was a spiritualist
00:32:00
researcher and uh all around the house
00:32:03
uh in the cottage there that we had in
00:32:05
the summers which was the summer househ
00:32:07
where he lived uh it was full of
00:32:10
journals and books and his writings and
00:32:12
so I was sitting there flipping through
00:32:15
a journal from the American Society for
00:32:18
Psychical Research and it was an article
00:32:19
on quantum physics and parap
00:32:21
parasychology and I just went okay
00:32:25
parapsychology quantum physics the real
00:32:27
terms the real vernacular, the real
00:32:29
research that's being done. Marry that
00:32:31
to an old style comedy like Abbott and
00:32:33
Castello, Bowie Boys,
00:32:36
>> Bob Hope and uh Dean Bing Crosby who did
00:32:40
Ghost movies.
00:32:41
>> In fact, Hold That Ghost, I think, is a
00:32:43
movie with Jerry Lewis and Dean Martin
00:32:46
and it's the first use of the term
00:32:48
Ghostbusters. Somebody asks Dean Martin,
00:32:50
"Who are you guys? We're Ghostbusters."
00:32:51
He says,
00:32:52
>> "We're the ghost."
00:32:54
>> And by the way, just as an aside,
00:32:55
>> we're Ghostbusters. I want to tell you,
00:32:57
>> he says, "Yeah. See, so that was the
00:32:59
first use of the term and it was a great
00:33:01
tradition of ghost movies in Hollywood.
00:33:02
I thought let's marry the real
00:33:04
vernacular, the real science, the real
00:33:06
fact that that people are seriously, you
00:33:08
know, seriously into this research with
00:33:10
an old style comedy. Now, as an aside,
00:33:13
that movie Hold That Ghost with Jerry
00:33:14
Lewis and Dean Martin, Jerry Lewis does
00:33:18
a a walk down the stairs in the old
00:33:21
castle set that it defies physics. The
00:33:24
way he comes down those stairs and
00:33:26
doesn't kill himself
00:33:28
>> is amazing. He was a spectacular phys
00:33:31
was he trying to be uh
00:33:32
>> No, he was just coming down the stairs
00:33:34
as like clumsily coming down the stairs.
00:33:35
>> Not possessed or
00:33:36
>> No, no, just clumsily walking down the
00:33:38
stairs and he
00:33:40
>> I don't know how he didn't kill himself.
00:33:41
He was a masterful physical comedian.
00:33:43
Absolutely masterful. You got you got
00:33:46
you hung with him. You must have known
00:33:48
>> Jerry Lewis. Yeah,
00:33:49
>> not really. I met the woman who played
00:33:51
the anenu Cinderfella
00:33:55
and then I went and looked at a scene on
00:33:57
YouTube of Jerry Lewis. This there's a
00:33:59
centerpiece where he's dancing around
00:34:01
with the stairs. To your point,
00:34:03
>> the physical comedy is breathtaking.
00:34:06
>> Yeah.
00:34:06
>> And it went on and on. He was directing
00:34:08
it. You must have met him.
00:34:10
>> I did. I Well, actually, I met I talked
00:34:12
to him on the phone. Schaefer hooked him
00:34:14
up on the phone with me one day
00:34:16
>> and Jerry and Jerry and I Jerry I said
00:34:19
Jerry can you can you give me
00:34:22
give me and he on the phone I'll never
00:34:25
forget over the phone I
00:34:30
it all comes from the the the the Jewish
00:34:33
uh Yiddish theater of the Lower East
00:34:34
Side the cat's kills that all of that
00:34:38
humor theang the shoulder take the spit
00:34:40
take uh the fork drop. Have you ever
00:34:42
Have you ever The fork drops wonderful.
00:34:44
You're sitting at dinner, somebody says
00:34:46
something and [ __ ]
00:34:47
>> Yeah.
00:34:47
>> The fork. That's all comedy from the
00:34:49
Yiddish uh lower side. You know that
00:34:52
there's a wonderful expression for your
00:34:53
show in Yiddish. The fly in the wall.
00:34:56
>> And it goes, it's the fleek ovant.
00:35:01
>> That's how you say fly in the wall in
00:35:02
Yiddish. Flevant.
00:35:05
>> Let's get this so we have this for our
00:35:07
promos.
00:35:08
>> Yeah.
00:35:09
sounds like he's making.
00:35:10
>> Yeah,
00:35:11
>> it's poetic.
00:35:12
>> So that the young he gave me a young and
00:35:14
and and all of that comes from that rich
00:35:16
rich tradition.
00:35:17
>> Did you have other um
00:35:18
>> like heroes like did Carrie Grant ever
00:35:21
reach out to you or
00:35:22
>> other super in the 70s when you guys
00:35:25
were exploding cuz
00:35:27
>> Tim Liry and Davis were Timothy Larry?
00:35:29
>> Yeah, Timothy Larry and Davis were
00:35:31
great. I bought him Davis. I bought him
00:35:33
and on our friends I bought the last
00:35:35
steak dinner that he ate before he died
00:35:37
at the at the Marmmont over there at the
00:35:39
restaurant.
00:35:39
>> You put in it really?
00:35:40
>> Uh it was already taken care of
00:35:42
>> and now everybody's doing it for uh
00:35:45
mental health reasons.
00:35:46
>> I know Timothy Liry. I met Jimmy Hoffa
00:35:49
cuz I I
00:35:52
Yeah,
00:35:53
>> Giant Stadium. That's the last I heard.
00:35:55
>> Uh that was Yeah. Yeah. Well, you saw
00:35:56
that movie with Alino and that
00:35:58
>> met him ice. Uh Lauren McCall, I worked
00:36:02
with her. I worked with Jim Garner and
00:36:04
uh Jack Lemon. I worked with Jack Lemon
00:36:06
and J in a movie called American
00:36:08
President
00:36:09
>> and Lauren McCall was in that. That was
00:36:11
wonderful.
00:36:12
>> Was that Pete Seagull?
00:36:13
>> Yeah, Pete Seagull. Yeah. Yeah. And uh
00:36:15
work with work with the all great
00:36:17
veterans like that.
00:36:18
>> Yeah, that's what I was curious about. I
00:36:20
assume you intersected them.
00:36:22
>> So, so neat. So neat.
00:36:24
>> And special.
00:36:25
>> When you left SNL, was there
00:36:28
>> So Chvy came? We had Chvy on here. He
00:36:30
was
00:36:31
>> perfectly bananas the way we wanted.
00:36:33
>> Amazing.
00:36:34
>> He was so we didn't film it. It was so
00:36:38
funny.
00:36:39
>> He was doing stick and stuff.
00:36:41
>> No, his sticks and stones.
00:36:43
>> His work with his fingers. If you never
00:36:45
saw any other part of him, the work with
00:36:47
his hands.
00:36:48
>> I I I remember he he did something just
00:36:50
like, you know, he's like he's he's
00:36:52
there. He's got the fingers walking and
00:36:53
then all of a sudden and it starts to
00:36:56
and you you just hilarious the control,
00:36:59
you know.
00:36:59
>> Yeah. Well, we had this here which is
00:37:01
like 10 bottles on a tray. He just
00:37:03
waited and at a given point he just
00:37:06
falling. He reached for it and it was
00:37:08
just like perfectly but he waited. He
00:37:11
knew you could tell he knew early on
00:37:13
that was his go-to.
00:37:15
>> No, I love Chvy. I love
00:37:16
>> No, we do too.
00:37:17
>> And you stayed straight through like he
00:37:18
he was the first year of SNL and then
00:37:20
you stayed How long did you stay? Five
00:37:22
years.
00:37:22
>> Four.
00:37:22
>> Four years.
00:37:23
>> Yeah. The reason we left was purely and
00:37:25
sorely because and I mean we had to
00:37:28
finish the Blues Brothers.
00:37:30
>> You know, we thought maybe it was a
00:37:31
possibility we'd go back, you know, we
00:37:34
went to Chicago. Then the movie went
00:37:36
sort of early summer, late
00:37:39
>> autumn and you were shooting
00:37:41
>> and we were shooting and we had to go
00:37:42
back to LA to shoot some of the stuff
00:37:44
inside. The church scene, the uh soul
00:37:47
food restaurant, all of that had to be
00:37:48
done in LA and we knew we couldn't go
00:37:50
back. So, I made the call to Lauren
00:37:53
saying we weren't going to return for
00:37:55
John.
00:37:55
>> How hard was that?
00:37:57
>> It was a little It was made a little
00:37:59
easier because when uh Animal House was
00:38:02
being done, they wanted me to play D-Day
00:38:04
and they wanted me to join Landis and
00:38:07
>> and uh Wrightman and uh Oh, yeah. You'd
00:38:10
be great.
00:38:10
>> And and uh you know uh John in in Oregon
00:38:14
to do that movie. And I I just looked
00:38:16
and I just John's gone, man. I just
00:38:19
looked and I thought, you know, how
00:38:21
could I leave Lauren here without
00:38:23
another without a writer or an actor,
00:38:25
you know? So, I told him, I said, I'm
00:38:26
I'm going to stay. And I stayed on then.
00:38:29
>> So, when we left for Blues Brothers, it
00:38:30
was a little easier because I did stay
00:38:32
on and I didn't leave for Animal House.
00:38:34
>> Yeah.
00:38:35
And there's like somebody some analyst
00:38:38
somewhere, some pundit or something
00:38:39
said, "Oh, Lauren forced me to stay or
00:38:41
was, you know, you forced the contract."
00:38:43
Lauren is not a dictator, slave driver.
00:38:45
You want to go, you go. He's not like
00:38:47
that. No,
00:38:48
>> he encouraged us.
00:38:50
>> He wouldn't want to look thirsty like
00:38:51
that. He would say
00:38:53
we we'd love to have you, you know, but
00:38:55
if you need to go, you know, that would
00:38:57
be
00:38:57
>> gracious Canadian. And then
00:38:59
>> he fell in love with his cast members to
00:39:02
this day. He loves Canadian.
00:39:03
>> He did. My boys and my girls, he calls
00:39:05
them. Yeah. Yeah. No, he he loves he
00:39:07
loves them.
00:39:13
when I came in in ' 86 because he'd had
00:39:16
that fiveyear hiatus
00:39:17
>> constantly references to you guys
00:39:20
>> and it was so intimidating to me and it
00:39:23
was like Danny did it because I'd come
00:39:25
up with an idea Danny did that season
00:39:27
two
00:39:29
>> Chevy believes but you guys are the
00:39:31
originals and so there is
00:39:33
>> Billy Chvy Danny
00:39:34
>> never the last name never said Dan
00:39:37
Akroyd never said Paul Simon never said
00:39:39
Paul Mard
00:39:40
>> and look how the show is going now so
00:39:41
current so relevant
00:39:43
So extraordinary.
00:39:44
>> When you did Blues Brothers, which is
00:39:45
one of my alltime uh great ones, and I
00:39:47
know you opened for Steve Martin at the
00:39:49
Universal, I heard that's why there is a
00:39:51
Blues Brothers because John recorded the
00:39:53
record from there.
00:39:54
>> God damn. Um you do How do you get
00:39:56
Carrie Fisher? Was she Star Wars or was
00:39:58
she
00:40:00
my girlfriend? You mean?
00:40:01
>> Yeah. Oh, she didn't get into
00:40:03
love line.
00:40:04
>> No. Well, uh Well, because uh it
00:40:07
>> wasn't the Barbie part for her. She was
00:40:08
good friends with with John and and good
00:40:10
just good friends with Penny Marshall
00:40:12
and John and
00:40:13
>> she was Penny's buddy and and uh we just
00:40:16
asked her to be a part of it and she was
00:40:17
a part of it and then we fell in love
00:40:19
>> and uh we almost got married. We had
00:40:21
blood tests and rings exchanged and
00:40:23
everything
00:40:24
>> and uh I I was ready to spend the rest
00:40:27
of my life with with Carrie and uh after
00:40:31
we wrapped the movie, we got into a 24
00:40:33
with John and Judy and we flew to
00:40:35
Martha's Vineyard and we flew to this
00:40:37
house that Judy had bought me in the
00:40:39
vineyard to be near John to plan future
00:40:41
projects, right? And uh I said, "Judy,
00:40:44
just buy me a house. I don't care
00:40:46
>> what it looks like." It was our first
00:40:47
check from Atlantic Records and she
00:40:49
bought me a house and said, "You're
00:40:50
going to see your house tonight for the
00:40:52
first time and you're bringing Carrie
00:40:54
home." So, I brought Carrie home to this
00:40:56
house I'd never seen and it's night and
00:40:59
fog is like down and low. And we go in
00:41:02
and walk in and they flip the lights on
00:41:04
and I could just tell that it was not to
00:41:06
Carrie's design sense at all. Yeah,
00:41:08
>> it was a mid50s
00:41:11
lot of modern furniture, very uh you
00:41:13
know uh em chairs and stuff and she
00:41:16
>> so that night was a difficult night and
00:41:18
then in the morning I heard her talking
00:41:20
to Paul Simon her boyfriend at the time
00:41:22
before
00:41:23
>> and and I could hear her talking and
00:41:25
hear well I'll be there and I'll be in
00:41:27
New York tomorrow or or today and I
00:41:29
thought oh she's leaving. So, um, I
00:41:32
said, "You know, Carrie, the view is
00:41:34
supposed to be beautiful in this house.
00:41:35
You should stay." No, I have to get
00:41:36
back. I've got to go back to Paul. I've
00:41:37
got to go. I'm going back down to Please
00:41:39
take me to the airport. Nothing
00:41:40
rankerous or very amicable. I thought I
00:41:43
was We thought we were getting married.
00:41:45
I go I drive her to the airport, get her
00:41:48
on a plane, kiss her goodbye, and say,
00:41:49
"I'll I'll see you soon. We'll hang."
00:41:51
You know, I love you. I love you. and
00:41:54
and you know she flies off and I drive
00:41:56
in the jeep back to the the Martha's
00:41:58
Vineyard house and I'm kind of
00:42:00
despondent and I I walk I drive up to
00:42:03
the house and the fog has lifted and
00:42:06
I've got a 275 degree view of the ocean,
00:42:11
the islands
00:42:12
>> and that this beautiful beautiful
00:42:14
promontory that the house was on. I
00:42:16
thought you know she saw saw that she
00:42:18
might she would have been married today.
00:42:21
>> It's like Manhattan socked in. Oh, it's
00:42:23
the only time we went. Is it always
00:42:24
foggy? No, no, no.
00:42:26
>> And so, yeah, that meant but we we were
00:42:28
good friends all the way right to the
00:42:30
end of her life, of course.
00:42:32
>> And Blues Brothers, I think it's one of
00:42:33
those where a lot of people want to be
00:42:35
around funny people. And she's like, if
00:42:37
I and she's a big star, but it's okay.
00:42:39
>> And funny herself. I mean, hilarious,
00:42:41
brilliant in that.
00:42:43
>> Yeah, she's great. We had a ball, of
00:42:45
course, you know, cuz we we we were
00:42:47
making a movie and we were in love.
00:42:49
>> You know, maybe you're making a movie
00:42:50
with someone you love. so you can go to
00:42:51
work in the morning with them.
00:42:52
>> I can't imagine the rocket ship, you
00:42:54
know, I had my own little success there,
00:42:56
too. Wayne's World. Anyway, um but you
00:42:59
guys um I'm doing a David there.
00:43:02
>> Blues Brothers, when I first saw that, I
00:43:05
was like, "This is so electric on every
00:43:07
level."
00:43:08
>> Like, you're enjoying it.
00:43:10
>> You and John, the dancing and the energy
00:43:12
of it was like, "Well, this is something
00:43:14
new.
00:43:16
>> This is like really musical, too."
00:43:18
>> Like the band was kicking. And then you
00:43:21
guys were just so funny with all the
00:43:23
sticktick to me again at just
00:43:25
fantasizing about being on Saturday
00:43:27
Night Live. Just those characters. Don't
00:43:29
get me started with Wild and Crazy Guys.
00:43:31
Don't even start with that.
00:43:33
>> Come on. I don't think I can do that guy
00:43:35
no more. No, you can't play around with
00:43:37
accents anymore. You can't have it. And
00:43:40
you can't even talk about the parts on a
00:43:42
woman.
00:43:43
>> The parts.
00:43:44
>> And we look, they will love our American
00:43:46
bulges or what was
00:43:46
>> Yeah, the bulges. Yeah. Please don't.
00:43:49
Uh, you will be shocked by my great
00:43:51
bulge.
00:43:52
You know, you got to watch it these
00:43:54
days.
00:43:54
>> I mean, I was so influenced by you guys
00:43:56
rhythmically and musically. You know,
00:43:59
you had a you you Oh, she was
00:44:02
>> You had to read it. I think that is one
00:44:03
of the greatest inside.
00:44:05
>> She looked so cute in the in the in that
00:44:07
waiter outfit. She didn't want to wear
00:44:09
the waitress's outfit. No, I can't. I
00:44:10
can't. And then Deborah Nulman, Landis'
00:44:13
wife, the designer,
00:44:14
>> designed this beautiful
00:44:16
>> waitress's outfit that made her look
00:44:18
great. Yeah.
00:44:19
>> Yeah. She was It was even funnier that
00:44:21
she had that.
00:44:21
>> So supportive of us all the way through.
00:44:23
She always was. And so was Ray and
00:44:25
everybody.
00:44:26
>> Yeah.
00:44:26
>> John Candy.
00:44:27
>> Yeah. We had Candy was in. Yeah. Yeah.
00:44:30
And then we had Craropper and Dunn who
00:44:32
were
00:44:33
>> Otis Reading's guitar players. So that
00:44:34
made it happen. Now I still play with uh
00:44:36
with Jimmy John's brother. We go out and
00:44:38
we have an active concert schedule. We
00:44:40
go out with a band that we've uh got
00:44:42
here from California and Texas that we
00:44:44
put together over the years. And uh uh
00:44:47
we got a you know we got a couple of
00:44:48
gigs.
00:44:49
>> What's more what's more fun than gigs?
00:44:51
>> Not that the music and and hear that
00:44:53
guitar and hear that just the organ and
00:44:56
>> uh you know moving. I've got you know
00:44:58
78% of the moves left. So you know
00:45:02
yeah last week it was 80 but
00:45:05
>> declines.
00:45:07
>> Yeah I'm in the low 40s.
00:45:09
>> I don't know.
00:45:10
>> Yeah it's not it's not all clicking. Uh
00:45:13
>> or it is clicking is the problem. So,
00:45:14
you're going along, there's trading
00:45:15
places, there's Blues Brothers,
00:45:17
>> there's all these stuff we could on
00:45:19
Saturday Night Live. Yeah.
00:45:21
>> And then and then what's Dan going to do
00:45:24
now? And then I don't know what the
00:45:26
trajectory was, but then Ghostbusters
00:45:27
was like
00:45:29
>> probably equivalent inflation adjusted
00:45:31
almost like Gone with the Wind or
00:45:32
something. It was like 300 million in
00:45:36
1984.
00:45:37
>> That's right.
00:45:38
>> So like 300 million now or a bit. So
00:45:42
what Titanic and you thought of it you
00:45:45
>> that that day that day at at the
00:45:47
farmhouse where the old where the
00:45:48
seances take took place where my great
00:45:50
great-grandfather had seances
00:45:52
>> uh from the 20s and that and I was
00:45:54
sitting there reading that journal and I
00:45:55
just thought old style Abbott and
00:45:57
Castello comedy with the real science.
00:45:59
Marry it up.
00:46:00
>> It's brilliant. But who's the first
00:46:02
person you told?
00:46:03
>> Um well that would have been Bernie
00:46:06
Brilstein, I guess. Oh
00:46:07
>> yeah, Bernie.
00:46:08
>> Uh and THEN
00:46:09
>> I LOVE IT. and then oitz and then I I I
00:46:12
turned a draft in to both of those guys
00:46:14
and then we went to Ivan and Ivan got
00:46:16
got it how it could be fixed and made
00:46:18
what it was. You know,
00:46:19
>> you wrote it fat, right?
00:46:21
>> Well, I not so much lengthwise, but it
00:46:23
was a little darker. It was a little It
00:46:24
wasn't the movie you saw, but it
00:46:26
certainly had all of the stuff in there
00:46:29
>> uh that became the movie. All the
00:46:30
elements were there. Uh so, and then
00:46:32
Ivan looked at it and then Ivan said,
00:46:34
"Let's go to Harold." And Harold looked
00:46:36
at it and understood what I was trying
00:46:38
to do here with it. And then and then we
00:46:40
decide what do we do about cast? Well,
00:46:42
and then and Harold and Ivan looked at
00:46:43
each other and said, "Well, if we could
00:46:46
get Murray, we we'll give it to Murray."
00:46:47
I mean, and then so we we he carried the
00:46:51
ball for us.
00:46:52
>> He was the master of those lines, those
00:46:55
throwaway lines, his style.
00:46:57
>> One of the probably the greatest comedy
00:46:59
romantic lead of our of our of our
00:47:01
generation and maybe many.
00:47:03
>> And him and Sigourney Weaver.
00:47:04
>> Yeah.
00:47:05
>> Very cool.
00:47:06
>> Beautiful. Brilliant. Beautiful. all
00:47:08
came together.
00:47:08
>> This is magic once a film works, any
00:47:10
film. But when something like that that
00:47:12
old and new
00:47:13
>> and then just connects so strong. I
00:47:16
remember going to, you know, it was like
00:47:17
Jaws in a way. Huge lines, theater
00:47:20
packed. It was a phenomenal. How fun to
00:47:23
have that hit and cuz you could have
00:47:25
screwed that movie up easily. I mean,
00:47:27
it's a great idea, but everywhere along
00:47:30
any movies you go in where it's good and

00:50:35
by Ghostbuster in this one, you know,
00:50:37
because they he's no longer licensed.
00:50:40
You always have that skill set of
00:50:42
putting a lot of words together really
00:50:44
like
00:50:44
>> that is true
00:50:45
>> like as a comic concept you know
00:50:49
but you know that does that something
00:50:53
my mother was French Canadian my mother
00:50:54
was French Canadian and I grew up around
00:50:56
French Canadian and French Canadians
00:50:57
they speak very fast like that
00:51:00
no no
00:51:03
no no they they talk a lot a lot of fast
00:51:05
bring me with that right now give you

00:51:10
You want some wine? You want They talk
00:51:12
like that. They're fast.
00:51:13
>> They're French Canadians. So, I I I had
00:51:14
this always, you know, and plus sitting
00:51:16
around the table there'd be 14 family
00:51:18
members and, you know, you couldn't get
00:51:20
a a word in unless you inject
00:51:22
interjected it, inject it in there.
00:51:29
>> So, how did you go from like a
00:51:30
14year-old, 15year-old, and then you
00:51:32
were really were you on 21 or 22 or
00:51:35
something?
00:51:35
>> Oh, I was 23. The
00:51:36
>> young. So what just quickly I mean for
00:51:39
your
00:51:39
>> Second City at at 21 and 22 late
00:51:43
Michaels at 19 I uh I worked with him on
00:51:45
a CBC special at 19 and his show hard
00:51:49
and
00:51:50
>> uh the Hart and Lauren Terrific Hour.
00:51:51
>> You were on that?
00:51:52
>> Uh it was on an offshoot of that. That's
00:51:54
right.
00:51:54
>> So you were like 18 or 19. You're on
00:51:56
television Canada doing
00:51:58
>> That's right. That's right. 19.
00:51:59
>> It's called
00:52:00
>> Yeah. Well, it was it was called
00:52:03
>> an early adopter. Yeah, it was uh it was
00:52:06
it was being steeped in improv. My
00:52:08
parents sent me at 12 years old to
00:52:09
Ottawa Little Theater uh improv class
00:52:12
and so I was I was already doing it sort
00:52:14
of back then, you know,
00:52:15
>> it just it came to you. It's like Larry
00:52:17
Bird, he said when basketball you first
00:52:18
got a basketball hands, he said the game
00:52:20
came to me.
00:52:21
>> So it just came to you.
00:52:23
>> It was it was it was you know
00:52:24
>> and then you worked your ass off of
00:52:26
course. Well, I was it was I was
00:52:27
encouraged to pursue it and it was fun
00:52:29
to do improv in that and uh and then at
00:52:31
Second City I was learning all the
00:52:33
techniques over again that I'd already
00:52:35
I'd already known at 12 and 13 years old
00:52:37
at the little theater improv classes.
00:52:39
Yeah. So,
00:52:40
>> started early, you know. Um
00:52:42
>> it seems to me that in your part of
00:52:43
this, we're talking to Michael McKeen
00:52:45
and you know the the Beatles and all the
00:52:48
music of the 60s. Yeah. And then the
00:52:50
trenling along with Peter Sers and then
00:52:52
you all kind of knew each other from 70
00:52:55
or 75 or you know it's very interesting
00:52:58
because you you were like the the
00:53:00
Beatles of comedy to me the SNL cast.
00:53:03
>> Well, you had the you had the Lampoon
00:53:04
crew. You had you know Chevy and you had
00:53:07
Chris Guest
00:53:08
>> and Harry Shearer and you had uh uh
00:53:11
Johnny uh Belalushi and uh
00:53:13
>> and then you had the Gilda eventually
00:53:15
because Belushi stole her away there
00:53:18
from Second City. Then you had the
00:53:19
Canadian crew, Levy O'Hara, myself,
00:53:22
Candy, Morannis, Thomas. Yeah, that was
00:53:26
>> so there were two and then and the ven
00:53:28
diagram kind of crossed and some of
00:53:29
those people ended up working with each
00:53:31
other on on various things.
00:53:33
>> Um yeah, but I think my first
00:53:37
>> the first time like for as like getting
00:53:40
interested in entertainment. Okay, I'm
00:53:42
in grade three now. What the hell? In
00:53:45
grade three, I'm like, five years old,
00:53:47
maybe four.
00:53:48
>> No, eight.
00:53:50
>> I'm I'm grade three.
00:53:52
>> So, I go uh
00:53:53
>> You're 17.
00:53:54
>> I was I was I was young. I was, you
00:53:57
know, five or three or four or five, I
00:53:59
guess, in grade three or something.
00:54:00
>> Yes. So, what happened?
00:54:01
>> And so, they they were doing an Irish uh
00:54:05
St. Patrick's Day concert and they
00:54:08
compelled me to learn McNamera's band.
00:54:11
You know that song?
00:54:14
Oh, Hennessy Tennessee to the flute. The
00:54:16
music was something grand.
00:54:22
I know the melody.
00:54:23
>> So, they put me in a green bowler and a
00:54:25
green vest and a green pants and
00:54:27
leprechaun shoes, put me out on stage
00:54:29
with a with a sink track and and I, you
00:54:32
know, they made me learn it. They made
00:54:33
me stay back from school to learn it.
00:54:35
And so this the concert comes and and we
00:54:38
go I go to the concert and I start
00:54:42
singing and I'm like, "Oh, I'm just
00:54:44
going to get through this. God, I
00:54:45
remember it vividly." Oh, God. And I get
00:54:48
to the end and I and finish and give the
00:54:51
tap dance finish and
00:54:55
howling the crowd they really you like
00:54:59
that that much and I'm thinking to
00:55:01
myself, "Oh, wow. That's good." And so I
00:55:03
was a big applause and they take me off
00:55:05
stage into the wings. I give back my
00:55:06
bowler and I'm thinking, "Oh man, that
00:55:09
wow that that that was very very
00:55:11
interesting." And then two of my
00:55:12
friends, Ricky uh and Greg come up, Rick
00:55:15
Hollingsworth and Greg Chitivus, and
00:55:16
they come up and they say, "Hey, yeah,
00:55:18

to the funeral home, across the street
00:55:38
from the church hall where I did the
00:55:40
concert.
00:55:41
>> So I go from the elation of singing
00:55:43
McNamera's band and getting cheered.
00:55:45
Yeah.
00:55:45
>> To two minutes later walking into the

00:59:31
>> And it was so good. It was like that
00:59:32
dumb little studio and it's little
00:59:34
lighting. You have a cigarette and
00:59:36
>> all that stuff. I mean, Fred Garvin. Was
00:59:38
that was his name Fred Garvin? Male
00:59:40
prostitute.
00:59:40
>> That's right. Little lady.
00:59:44
>> Say for the lady.
00:59:46
>> Yes. Little lady. That
00:59:47
>> the name is funny. at the time because
00:59:49
that just sets his title and he
00:59:52
announces himself that way. But you know
00:59:53
the copycats and Rich Little and that
00:59:55
generation Frank Gorchman and those are
00:59:58
the shows I was watching and
00:59:59
>> I love those impressionists. Rich Little
01:00:02
to Fred Travalina
01:00:05
extraordinarily gifted and that was like
01:00:08
magic to me. But when you guys came in
01:00:10
and did them in a different a different
01:00:12
context, it was just postmodern. Yeah.
01:00:14
You know, it's just
01:00:15
>> a lot of great impressions on the show.
01:00:17
For Hartman was spectacular.
01:00:20
>> And we've we've referenced you and Phil.
01:00:22
There's a a connection personalitywise.
01:00:25
You both have so many interests.
01:00:27
>> Yeah.
01:00:28
>> Outside of being
01:00:30
quas effortless performers and then
01:00:33
would go read these journals.
01:00:35
>> He was a pilot.
01:00:36
>> Yeah. He's a pilot. He was sailing. He
01:00:38
was
01:00:39
>> I loved him. I loved him too. He was
01:00:41
wonderful.
01:00:41
>> You did Bilco with him, right?
01:00:43
>> Yeah, that's right.
01:00:44
Yeah.
01:00:45
>> Yeah. Here's to Phil
01:00:48
Chris
01:00:49
>> and a lot to be thankful for at this
01:00:52
time of year. Thanksgiving and
01:00:53
Christmas. And uh the old vodka there in
01:00:56
the skulls is available in stores all
01:00:58
over the nation.
01:00:59
>> All over if you want to uh if you want
01:01:01
to get a gift.
01:01:04
>> Well, it makes a great gift. That's why
01:01:05
I'm on this kind of little tour here
01:01:07
because it's giftgiving time of year and
01:01:09
we want to remind people that
01:01:11
Thanksgiving and Christmas there's a a
01:01:12
gift you can bring home and you know
01:01:14
everybody wants to get ahead.
01:01:20
>> Well, where do you get it? Is there a
01:01:22
website? Is there
01:01:23
>> uh worldwide web crystalheadvodka.com?
01:01:26
It's in most uh uh liquor stores across
01:01:28
the country, chains and otherwise.
01:01:30
Crystal head and um I think it's it's
01:01:33
got a pretty big brand name. I think
01:01:35
people really are aware
01:01:39
because there's a lot of
01:01:40
>> lot of room to grow. So yeah,
01:01:42
>> see the bottle should be on your shelf
01:01:44
if you have liquor. It just looks Yeah,
01:01:47
>> it tastes good.
01:01:47
>> Should be on every bar. Yeah.
01:01:49
>> In the world.
01:01:50
>> Crystal head. Just in just a few seconds
01:01:52
before we get out of here. How'd you
01:01:54
come up with that name? Well, it's based
01:01:56
on the legend of the Crystal Heads,
01:01:57
which uh
01:01:58
>> from Indiana Jones
01:01:59
>> uh was referenced in the Ind Indiana
01:02:01
Jones movie. Um and uh they made a movie
01:02:04
about it. In fact, we were developing
01:02:07
the concept kind of right in parallel.
01:02:09
And I find out that Steven's doing this
01:02:11
movie
01:02:12
>> about Crystal Heads. So, I actually
01:02:14
called him to take a meeting to tell
01:02:16
him,
01:02:17
>> you know, we're not copying your
01:02:18
enterprise here. we started at the same
01:02:22
time and it takes two years to build a
01:02:24
project like this and so
01:02:26
>> I said you know when your movie comes
01:02:28
out we will be out on the marketplace we
01:02:30
will have been out a little before but
01:02:32
um I I explained to him that we and it
01:02:34
wasn't kind of a plagiarism and it
01:02:36
wasn't really um uh Crystal had uh there
01:02:39
were 13 of them
01:02:40
>> what if he stole it from you
01:02:42
>> uh I don't no the lead time doesn't work
01:02:44
out in terms of like when the both
01:02:46
projects came to fruition
01:02:48
>> um but uh the Navajo, the Aztec, the
01:02:50
Mayans were supposed to have had these
01:02:52
heads and uh and they were used for
01:02:55
crystal balls. And so we decided we were
01:02:58
doing this vodka that had no fluids uh
01:03:01
that were pollutants, glycols, sugar,
01:03:04
>> lemonine, clean. And so we wanted to
01:03:07
sell the idea of enlightened
01:03:09
>> purified drinking of beverage, alcohol,
01:03:11
and this was the perfect package to put
01:03:13
in it. Put it in. Yeah.
01:03:15
>> Very clean.
01:03:15
>> Yeah. It came from that. I have one more
01:03:17
question before this young man uh takes
01:03:19
off. Uh during that um when you leave
01:03:22
SNL, you did a lot of big movies. You
01:03:25
probably got offered some. Any ones that
01:03:26
you wish you did or is there movies that
01:03:28
you got offered
01:03:30
>> other than James Bond?
01:03:32
>> I Yeah, I would have liked
01:03:33
>> Spies Like Us.
01:03:34
>> I don't
01:03:35
>> Oh, Spies Like Us was so [ __ ] great.
01:03:37
>> I don't know that I was offered anything
01:03:39
that I I turned down and it became I No,
01:03:42
I don't think so.
01:03:43
>> No regrets where you go. Oh, I should
01:03:44
have done that one. Spies Us was unreal.
01:03:46
That was you and Chvy.
01:03:47
>> Uh yeah, I did I did audition for things
01:03:49
that I didn't get.
01:03:50
>> Oh,
01:03:51
>> the uh the People Versus Larry Flint.
01:03:54
>> Um I auditioned for the part of the
01:03:56
lawyer played by uh
01:03:58
>> um Edward Norton.
01:04:00
>> Oh, okay.
01:04:00
>> And I auditioned for Milos Foreman,
01:04:03
>> you know, and I read it a couple of
01:04:04
times. Dan, Dan, do you work with him?
01:04:06
>> I auditioned for Amadeas.
01:04:08
>> Oh, did you? Yeah. Dan, Dan, Dan, Dan,
01:04:11
Dan, stop acting.
01:04:13
>> Stop acting. He goes,
01:04:16
>> he was too bored with me. I don't know.
01:04:18
He just said, "I think we're READY TO
01:04:20
MOVE ON."
01:04:21
>> YEAH. YEAH.
01:04:22
>> During yours,
01:04:23
>> well, I didn't know what I was doing,
01:04:25
but I did. I saw the movie and I go,
01:04:26
"Okay, I see." They wanted a blondhaired
01:04:29
cherubic guy
01:04:31
>> boy jeans. Off script and do Chopping
01:04:32
Broccoli.
01:04:33
>> No, but I
01:04:36
I wanted to be on Saturday Night Live.
01:04:38
>> Yeah, I know. My thing. And you guys
01:04:40
did. And you were great. And you know,
01:04:42
today your your stuff endures just as
01:04:44
strongly as anything that we ever did on
01:04:46
that first cast. You're you know, if you
01:04:48
look at Church Lady and all your
01:04:50
impressions and uh you know, and
01:04:52
everything, you know, and your your
01:04:54
flight attendant, of course, classic, a
01:04:56
classic, a classic. My all of it great.
01:04:59
>> My theory is this is that music and
01:05:01
comedy just have to reflect the times.
01:05:04
>> And so we were for our time. Yeah. And
01:05:07
then I don't ever want to be a grumpy
01:05:08
old man about Taylor Swift. She's no
01:05:11
John Lennon, you know, that kind of
01:05:12
thing. I sat and tried to really do a
01:05:14
deep dive into Taylor Swift because I
01:05:16
want to know and she's incredibly
01:05:18
skilled.
01:05:19
>> And um same thing with Saturday Night
01:05:21
Live now. This is their era
01:05:23
>> and they're great.
01:05:23
>> Yeah.
01:05:24
>> And they're great. And Higgins said,
01:05:26
Steve Higgins just said Lauren, he said
01:05:28
Lauren wrote the Constitution
01:05:30
>> and then everyone interprets it for
01:05:32
their time, for their era. So
01:05:34
>> now the show's been really really great.
01:05:36
The Halloween show was outstanding
01:05:39
writing. Really, really, very smart.
01:05:42
>> Gerber,
01:05:44
we had him on the podcast a couple days
01:05:47
later. He was he's a great comic.
01:05:49
>> He's a really good writer and he's he's
01:05:51
so excited about that. He'd only done
01:05:53
talk shows,
01:05:54
>> quality work, all of it.
01:05:56
>> It's nice to still Oh, yeah. Well, when
01:05:58
I'm awake, I mean, I
01:06:00
>> I live a very very quiet life right now.
01:06:05
Very quiet.
01:06:06
>> Good.
01:06:06
>> I'm not in the cities. I'm I'm I'm in
01:06:08
the country.
01:06:09
>> That's where
01:06:11
I used to have a Grand National. That
01:06:12
was pretty sweet.
01:06:13
>> Yeah. Right. All right. The old Black
01:06:15
National. Yeah.
01:06:15
>> Oh, yeah. Black Grand National.
01:06:17
>> Every store you go to and everyone knows
01:06:19
your name kind of thing. Nobody
01:06:22
going on the motorcycle or take one of
01:06:24
the old, you know, the old cars in.
01:06:26
>> It seems to me just just from afar,
01:06:27
you've always had one foot still in
01:06:30
whatever you call regular life,
01:06:32
>> I would say. So, friends, get a steak. I
01:06:35
don't know. I've heard things, but it
01:06:36
seems like you've always
01:06:37
>> Oh, sure. Sure. Well, of course. After
01:06:39
for sanity. Yeah. But I don't like
01:06:41
living in cities anymore. I prefer to
01:06:43
live in the country just because I have
01:06:44
tinitus.
01:06:45
>> You know, the ringing and also to sleep
01:06:47
at night, the blackness.
01:06:49
>> You need the blackness to sleep
01:06:51
>> and the where I have a place that the
01:06:54
mountaineer is coming in.
01:06:56
>> And I can open my eyes or close my eyes.
01:06:58
Still black.
01:06:59
>> Black.
01:06:59
>> Yeah. Yeah.
01:07:00
>> And dead quiet. All I hear is the
01:07:02
coyotes. Sometimes throw a party. But it
01:07:05
is so
01:07:06
>> so good.
01:07:07
>> It you the deep sleep you get there.
01:07:09
>> It'll prolong life that sleep. It really
01:07:11
will.
01:07:12
>> Yeah.
01:07:12
>> Mine's being short and I'm about 40 ft
01:07:14
from sunset.
01:07:18
