00:03:52
minutes long we just lost 28 million bucks in the casino do do you do that anywhere did you do it on SNL is my
00:03:59
question cuz no it's an impression of you do it's an impression of your Dennis Miller which I've just had in my head for a couple decades now yeah that was
00:04:11
really F Dennis Dennis is incredibly wealthy hope he's listening to this and uh you know he's got kind of a very relaxed almost tight J almost like a Bob Hope thing going on you know feeling
00:04:24
good about things you know going around but uh as far as playing a casino it'd be like it was great you know a short
00:04:30
hop to Toledo and three different cars to get me down to the South Carolina Beach area where Harry's hofra had a Nick slot machine thing came out to 12
00:04:42
piy uh people who bought tickets did a quiet 45 the great thing about Dennis when he used to play the desert in all you were you just had to do 60 minutes he had a
00:04:53
clock and he and he's a killer standup and one of the greatest but he could be mid junk he sees six
00:05:00
and then he goes okay good night and he doesn't break stride he doesn't break stride in the casino back to his room
00:05:07
good for him dude I mean Alex Alex what's that casino above Dallas into Oklahoma fville therville made me think of enville I did it with uh my last gig
00:05:23
before Co was him and nor McDonald and we all flew there together in some little thermometer plane spudley split
00:05:30
it with me I'm like well I'd love to stand up I'd rather take United I can stand a little bit so we we take this
00:05:36
thing which is basically an MRI with wings we're just laying down and uh and then uh we get there and then it's
00:05:42
between him and norm and how [ __ ] crazy we all three of us are and he's like hey Spud you mind closing the show
00:05:48
I got to get out of here I go we're all in the same flight why why do you got to go and then Norm goes I'm not going at
00:05:55
the end and I go so I have to go after these these two assassins and then we all have to do I think 40 which is too much yeah because they
00:06:07
killed too [ __ ] hard anyway it was fun Spade Spade you're you're gonna close out pal I'm going to the High stti room oh yeah that's right he goes
00:06:18
they're closing back a rat so that's your Norm right apparently so yeah hey uh yeah that's H it's funny those jokes you're doing up there right the crowd's really going crazy for it it was H I
00:06:31
sucked yeah I was going to say that but I thought I'd say something else I nor try to walk less than 40% of the crowd before I get on you know why
00:06:42
what do you mean why was there not a at least one guy with a camera the minute you got on the plane all the way through
00:06:48
the gig all the way I mean just that it would have been too funny it would honestly people say exp oh I bet it's
00:06:54
funny it was funny it was funny because those two guys two of the funniest guys out there and then just uh listening
00:07:02
followed Dennis when he's in a rhythm toward the end of his act and he's H P She and it's like you have to deal with his his rhythm and energy do you do
00:07:13
standup I I didn't know that about you I know you were in like different Second City type things and yeah I I mainly got
00:07:22
I I got the gig on you know SNL through more character stuff but yeah I do I do stand up too I did a I did a Fest up in Canada uh with Spade our paths almost
00:07:34
crossed do you remember that uh the Toronto comedy Calgary or what was it like Calgary or something yeah one of those uh cities in the [ __ ] Sask tune
00:07:46
yeah we're in White Horse Yukon Territory bab I did one I think Whitney comings there was outdoor gig and uh got to take [ __ ] seven connections to get
00:08:00
there so everyone's GNA do the whole time an hour and a half of Dennis Miller it gets the to the essence in such a way that makes me laugh you know coming on
00:08:10
the zoom with Carvey and Spade couldn't get a word in in the first 11 minutes it was kind of an interesting
00:08:17
Motif millia happening there today so where were we okay sorry go ahead no I'm just I have ADD uh Oka butterfly I got a time in shoot what were we talking about no you uh cuz Greg Greg gutfield
00:08:31
and uh Tucker Carlson did I do Greg gutfield no I guess I got the wrong information from James Austin Johnson maybe I I think maybe I did a
00:08:44
gutfield thing at the table one time yeah sometimes you just assign get on air but he thought you had a great take on it but yeah oh I that's kind of you
00:08:58
even know that guy James you even know him stories James uh James Vander Johnson no be maybe he was talking about Mikey day because you guys did so much
00:09:11
together I'm sure James confuses me and Mikey all the time confuses you like crazy and I got to confuse you where do we go with Trump I mean how
00:09:24
do we what's the next good question I don't know who's going to play him I mean well J will I call him J the jger badger because J is for James Austin Johnson j
00:09:37
a j j jger that's better James Aus Johnson is a lot of work it sounds like a Civil War General I'm sorry but well I'm James Austin Johnson I'm in charge
00:09:48
of these confederal soldiers sorry that's that's all that's all I got confederal so anyway uh so did you did did you do
00:09:59
um Tucker Carlson or was that else yeah are we is this are we recording by the way is this all just sort of the
00:10:06
beforehand good okay I'm kidding we're always always recording Productions and with no with
00:10:13
complete chaos I'm having a lot of fun so far so far so am I I like that both you have a handheld Allah being up on stage and SP you're just sitting there
00:10:25
with the thing on a on a crane in front we're a lot like the Brothers I'm broadcasting from a hotel
00:10:34
in New York City right now so are you which one what room number he's like a uh reporter on the scene and I am just a lazy pocast they
00:10:45
don't have room numbers but they have names for the different Suites this is called you'll never get out of here alive and uh good night so that sounds
00:10:53
promising it's a little scary but SP do you always have a Joe Dirt merch uh just perch some you know uh for the for the people
00:11:06
at home that AR that's just not on video uh I have a Joe Dirt hat in the background but I do have merch and that's that's a hat from when
00:11:17
I that was my crew present on the actual movie and so I don't make that one even though I like that one a lot do you mind
00:11:24
turning it around just for the this interview well cuz no one can see it but hurt your eyes a little bit it's just too distracting I by the way I that
00:11:35
movie is timeless if I may say it's very very funny I and I I came I discovered it very late uh we inherited we we went Upstate one time and the the place had a
00:11:48
DVD collection including Joe Dirt my wife and I watched it I had never seen it I don't know how I didn't Discover it
00:11:55
when it came out I imagine I'm not alone in that but uh I saw it years later and
00:12:01
it is very very funny I don't know if you know that no I appreciate it and uh which brings me to something else I want
00:12:07
to ask you that it's sort of Off the Mark I hope you don't get offended by this I was reading this
00:12:14
interview Dana you can chime in on this reading an interview with an vulture with you right and article yeah there's
00:12:22
an article about you so sometimes reporters that was my either to to be funny or to be whatever sometimes feel
00:12:29
like to me they inch across the line where I don't like it and 90% of the time I don't say anything but like when
00:12:37
they say like hey J D you know what movie I actually like you know those kind of questions where it bothers you this one which what you said was perfectly fine I I I appreciate you
00:12:48
actually watching it honestly that's not what I mean I mean I'm reading this and it says you were in the
00:12:53
bear and i' I was hoping you'd have a bigger role by season two but they got you out there pretty quick I mean I'd be
00:13:00
like hey go [ __ ] yourself dude crazy I read he was in the bear and then I mentioned it to people he's great great in the bear but yeah she did put a tilt on that like it was a sad thing and you
00:13:13
but you're you're working you're working all over the place as far as I can tell I know it's just such a weird way to put
00:13:18
it you're like hey I did a great you said I was doing meth how long was I going to
00:13:24
last yeah your character's doing Mets so but it's like come on uh anyway that's kind of a that just reminded me of interviews where you get caught off guard and you're trying to be nice and then you go what is going on are they
00:13:36
trying to be funny and they trying to be cute they trying to be cool yeah no I was you're not supposed to fight back no
00:13:42
you're not and I hope it I I was just letting you know I even though I discovered it late Jo dir is uh like a
00:13:49
yuck a minute I loved it can I ask about this yeah go ahead wait dan what were no
00:13:54
I was gonna say the other way people do it I liked it yeah yeah or or how did you how did you like that movie did you think uh it was operating all cylinders
00:14:05
David yeahh all right I lik it but am I alone in that wait uh Spade what is what
00:14:12
is are you growing the beard out for uh something it's for a movie I'm writing uh no I'm kidding see Alex you have a great beard because I have it
00:14:22
because under here and defines your jaw yeah thank God right that's the way you do it mine is a way to look even older but uh I feel like the beard like Dana said I
00:14:36
first of all the TR truth is I got one compliment on it and I never went back because I have zero when I don't have it
00:14:42
so I have one compliment with it so I said okay even though it's mostly gray now the salt is taking over the pepper
00:14:49
so now I've got you can kind of shape it so you look a little more better because
00:14:55
as every article says if I ever date anyone it's like Beauty in the Beast look at this monster I'm like God damn
00:15:02
think you could ever say that about a girl like this great great looking guy is with this horribly ugly
00:15:08
EG yeah we got Alex looks fresh face when I look at we're watching him not a wrinkle he's in his prime I don't know I'll Peg you at I'm going to say
00:15:20
32 24 28 you're both right you're both right so 28 32 so you're 59 yes uh I'm 42 uh but you know I
00:15:35
I moisturize very I put I put lotion on eight times a day so that's this happen hey uh not that I don't want to just talk about my face the whole time which I do but can I bring up another uh sort
00:15:49
of random because I mean this is the money maker let's be honest anything anything uh Dana this is a connection
00:15:56
that we have that you would have no reason to know about years I do know yeah well if you Chevy Chase the baseball no Chevy Chase the baseball
00:16:09
Bill Murray no Bill Murray the baseball sorry that's another no I bet that's that's that's one of my favorite SNL memories and one of the most like kind of burned in my soul memories from my
00:16:23
whole time there which I I'm happy to get into my God but this goes even further back and there's truly I think
00:16:30
no way you would know about this let me see when I was going into my senior year
00:16:36
of college I lived with my sister in mil Valley uh California and I work know it
00:16:43
well I worked at a restaurant called crap Cascade Cascade which was only there for a year or two but I worked there for a summer but it was in the downtown yep
00:16:57
yep yep okay and uh one time I like got to work and I think I've been called into like sub because somebody had to go but anyway you you were already your your like family was your brothers were
00:17:11
there I think and somebody maybe were visiting that might be and they were like hey Dan Dana carvey's here and I
00:17:18
was like and I it truly well I mean as you can imagine it's a big deal it's a big deal and also they kind of knew I was like young comedy dweeb like
00:17:29
idolized this guy they happened to be right in that case and so I was like oh my God and so basically like from across
00:17:36
the restaurant I was just like oh my god there he is there he is there he is and then uh and apparently you were only
00:17:42
there for like the last like little bit you like showed up for dessert picked up the tab for the
00:17:47
whole uh table and then left and I was just like what a classy guy wow oh my God so again there's no connection other than I saw you in a restaurant but I it was
00:18:02
like but it was uh one of the first times I ever saw like a celebrity or an idol of mine and uh I know believe me I
00:18:10
got a lot of cool stories like that uh uh first of all it's flattering and I I saw Michael Landon once in a restaurant when I was a little kid and I couldn't stop he was from Bonanza and Little
00:18:23
House on the Prairie so I totally get that it's just and now now you have people go hey you're the Satur Night
00:18:29
Live guy Alex mofin man I love that you know you do that Trump brother so good so you're getting it so it's it's all
00:18:36
surreal that now we're on Zoom together as peers as co co SNL alums you know we are yeah but that was my I think literally the first time I saw like a a a member some like an Alum from the show
00:18:52
let alone one who I grew up watching and I literally was sort of like frozen in the corner of Cascade
00:18:59
restaurant in M Valley just being like there he is and I so I creeply observed you for two minutes pick up the the check for your whole family then was like Someday I'm gonna be sitting on my
00:19:12
little my little throne here chatting with those two goons I keep a casual diary on my phone do you know about what was it in the summertime June of um 92
00:19:25
or something I keep it Cas Alex were you waiter you're a waiter waiter at Cascades hold on let me just get that Cascades was going off waiter Summertime
00:19:37
with with h vacation summer of 2004 yeah okay let me see yeah it checks out went to cast gave
00:19:45
my brother weirdo kept staring at me got out paid the check and got away straight
00:19:51
out of your diary that must have been a different okay then there was another guy there because there's no way
00:19:59
Alex you're you're going to get those calls where it's like hey I thought you were coming so can you at least come and
00:20:06
pay you're not [Music] coming by the way we can we can talk to you about something because this is
00:20:18
going to be on October 9th so I'm in New York and I haven't done it yet but it'll
00:20:24
be interesting because you played along the whole Cascade of people played oh you switched that have played Biden I'm
00:20:31
now going in to play Biden it's like are you I asked them I asked Steve Higgin Lauren's the one who asked me and I said well does Mikey day who's the latest latest does he still want to do Biden
00:20:46
because I can't go you know he said Mikey would be relieved um I hope that's true but I
00:20:55
they he'd love it Lauren asked me in June before the debate problem with Biden you'll come in it's just you know
00:21:01
it's an Autumn in New York it's four shows and you'll be like really really have fun and then he he got kicked out
00:21:09
or or he left like George Washington we don't know and uh you'll come in as a ghost you'll be
00:21:17
places he won't let go so he wants you to go in there pop up and do it so what on the Continuum of Biden where were you you're like who did it before you and who did it after you
00:21:29
well on the Continuum I'm guessing I hold the record for quickest tenure uh which I think was you know
00:21:39
probably uh just putting America out of their misery uh I did it for I there were two appearances before me was uh a young upstart named Jim
00:21:51
Carrey um oh okay yeah yeah so this was after he did his that was like kind know
00:21:57
you know the whole fall yeah I guess yeah during that election and that was I believe always
00:22:03
meant to be sort of a temporary thing and then I had screen tested before they went with um Mr Cary
00:22:12
so I shown Biden yeah it's Biden okay yeah so then and then I was playing uh golf it was like close to Thanksgiving and uh I was out there teeing it up and
00:22:26
I got a phone call from a friend of mine who works there is like heyy just a heads up I think Lauren's going to be
00:22:33
calling you and I think they're going I think they're going to give you Biden and I was like cool that's great and then sure
00:22:38
enough uh the next day he brought me in and yeah similar conversation hello right you L Biden well I think that there's a trajectory this is a little process for
00:22:51
the audience you know there's a trajectory like someone gets elected like we all knew Joe Biden but then he's
00:22:57
elected president now were really in the primar we really seeing what he how he talks and what and then it takes a while
00:23:03
for the audience to recognize the hooks so early in I only had uh my father lost
00:23:10
his job no joke you know those was his early kind of manifestations and then for me I don't know if you did it before after Afghanistan because the press conference
00:23:21
there was the first time I saw him get angry and it was funny it was always going to be hard you know that guy so there may not have been there was no hooks after that I kind of gave up on it
00:23:32
I did it on coar and I go it's so soft and whispery father lost his job no joke that's all I had until he yeah there you
00:23:38
go all right it's it's my God we should have fun come on what are we doing what are we doing let's let my god let's get back to the business of having fun for
00:23:51
my God it was like please what are we doing here uh did they let you do it like that did they let you yeah more or less
00:24:04
I I guess I it that that time was kind of a blur um lot of I was very deep into that was my bourbon face I'm just kidding uh no I it was it was just so
00:24:19
quick I did yeah my god oh let's uh and and when I screen tested with him it was
00:24:25
more like he was kind of con L hitting on Jenna the stage manager which I think maybe had had you know we done more of him maybe we would have gotten to him being the more like hair sniffy dude
00:24:40
right that's a funny hook but the um yeah I guess my thing was like thinking he was like Joe cool you know but then clearly like not clocking the fact that
00:24:53
he's just slightly out of touch you know what I mean so that was kind of more the
00:24:58
the hook if I had one clearly whatever the hook was it was a hard pass from the higher ups at the show well also when I
00:25:07
didar when I did Cole bear there was just a sense of uh everyone was exhausted whatever your political Stripe from the TR Trump yes and then when Biden came in it was like he's a
00:25:18
moderate Democrat reach across the aisle just GNA quiet everything down and when
00:25:25
when I was doing coar remotely and I'd go for a certain kind of joke the audience would just sort of get quiet they didn't the audience wasn't ready
00:25:31
they don't want to go f right away you know so yeah no that's that's true and that I think is another thing that was
00:25:38
going on at the time was like I don't know that people wanted to everyone was exhausted like you said it was just like okay well what's the what's the joke about this guy Also let's not joke about
00:25:51
him because he just uh saved us from the you know collapse of democracy or whatever is going through people's minds you know uh exactly not ready in New York they're
00:26:03
not going to poke him as heart right and then the next some and then like I said
00:26:08
I think in that you know uh vulture interview that you guys mentioned they wisely realized that they had hired a guy who is one of the most insanely gifted Impressionists of all time in Mr
00:26:22
J himself and they were like oh this guy can can make Biden sing and so so it is
00:26:29
believe me all good because I I I really James's Biden tickles me his Trump absolutely tickles me so I was between my arrow was between Carrie and Johnson
00:26:44
was my Biden Administration okay I got it so it made sense because his his Trump is like jazz you know it's a it's a remarkably detailed um and he told me
00:26:57
for for himself I guess it's okay to say he just made it a cause celeb for himself to to try to really Master a
00:27:04
Biden for himself um and so he's been working on it but there there's a lot of hooks there a c celeb I like how he you called it a CA celeb which normally if
00:27:15
I'm not mistaken is reserved for an actual charitable cause that one lens one celeb to but in this case yeah his cause was Griffin said that to ziaa
00:27:27
kabore in 1966 and I I've never forgot it and I use it I know what it means M Griffin no
00:27:34
come on you're fine what it means so anyway so you did that which was sort of that pre- audience accepting and James
00:27:41
had told me that just this summer once and for his audience as to stand up once Biden was no longer running the crowd was emancipated and laughing really hard
00:27:51
so it's interesting that's probably true yeah yeah because they're not worried about helping Trump you know right
00:27:58
yeah can I uh Dana another thing that I stole from you is uh when you my my first season when you came back to do church lady uh on
00:28:13
update I just happen to be walking by um in the hallway and somebody asked you how it went after dress and you said something like well at least I didn't peek at dress uh and I so I always stole
00:28:28
the that was just like and and like yeah at least I didn't peek a like if something went kind of like a little
00:28:33
dicey add dress like well yeah uh that there's no way that was the peak this could be this could be a good thing you say to the writers this is good because you you don't and it is
00:28:44
somewhat true I mean I felt like I'd Peak it read through in the early days because I was trying so hard and then
00:28:51
maybe I'd Peak Friday night trying to entertain the crew or I'd peek at dress cuz I was pushing and right after after
00:28:58
a little time there I was able to kind of just do it 85% because you want what's going through your head during
00:29:03
the air show is this is the best it's ever gone yeah that's all yeah rather than like huh they laugh harder a few hours ago dress was so much better oh
00:29:15
now we're going down between yeah you you you want to do good enough a dress where it makes the show you don't want to save it so much that it gets cut and you go oh [ __ ] what
00:29:27
right fine line so of your kind of like your your poppy hits which the one you had the most fun doing was it the the uh
00:29:39
film reviewer seemed really fun because you're just you're locked in rhythmically you've got all the hooks
00:29:45
and change ups and um I don't know if people are familiar with this one but tell us about that what did you do it
00:29:54
before SNL or do it at iio iio that's right IO what does IO stand for improv Olympics oh improv Olympics dum dum I think Spade's been on my
00:30:06
Wikipedia um was that a trunk piece was that a trunk piece that you brought to the show a trunk trunk you know a trunk
00:30:14
trunk piece isn't that me you pull out when you need it it goes with con motivational speaker was a trunk piece yeah why did you write it during the show I that one that one it was during
00:30:28
the show no who just did a someone just did a thumbs down have you seen did no that's something that in our computers
00:30:34
like sometimes Stars will come we never put it I don't know yeah exactly I think
00:30:40
it it could happen Dana can do confetti sometimes sometimes right now it's not because of this freaking I can't even get a real one let me see no hey I got one right above the Joe
00:30:52
Dirt hat a thumbs down [Laughter] funny e which we've already covered was is actually very funny you're in the clear on that uh we're in the clear was not a
00:31:05
trunk piece I like that expression which is like something I brought along when I got there no that always killed you know
00:31:12
all no no you know what's funny is uh actually speaking of trunk pieces another I'm just going to keep
00:31:18
referencing we love it ways that Dana you came up in either conversation or My waitering Life um in my in my meet I I don't think I've ever actually told
00:31:30
anybody publicly about my meeting with Lauren you know like before you get hired and he referenced you in that
00:31:38
meeting because he said something to me to the effect of like the gist was like we don't really know what we're getting with you because you're not a known entity and I was sort of like yeah I
00:31:49
hear you and he was like like like with Dana for example we knew what we were he
00:31:56
had an act he was established we knew what we were getting and I was like yeah I I get that well he also show dis does
00:32:02
church lady in his act right trunk all of it was surreal I had no idea how it was going to go I really really thought that I was gonna me and Phil the show was only had an eight show pickup we by
00:32:15
Christmas it was going to get cancelled for the only time and the now they're doing a documentary about 85 and 86
00:32:22
because there's so many documentaries for the 50th but um I didn't realize that I didn't there no Groundlings in
00:32:28
San Francisco so I was doing standup and then Rowdy bars you know I would have a
00:32:34
rough time cuz I was kind of doing little characters and Impressions but I didn't know it would go as well as it
00:32:39
did you know but it was uh it I was a great feeling when I said what isn't that special and I got to laugh just like in the clubs I was like okay I don't know where I am but um anyway you
00:32:51
were you were already you were like touring right I mean you I was doing a lot of clubs I did a lot of shitty weird
00:32:57
things they offered me because Hollywood wanted to hire me just as a nice guy you know I did a movie with Bert Lancaster
00:33:03
Kirk Douglas just a nice straight man I did Blue Thunder with James fantino as the straight man I did m one of the boys
00:33:10
with Mickey Rooney and Nathan Lane so uh but then I kind of said to hell with it I'm probably not going to make it I'll
00:33:16
just pay so I just did a lot of clubs for two years a lot and that's where it all it helped it was helpful um 10,000 hours uh also and
00:33:28
the um Cho and broccoli uh was one of the first laughs I ever remember getting in my life was just imitating Cho and broccoli to my
00:33:40
parents and sisters and then being like look at this precocious little ham singing chopping broccol 12 11 did you
00:33:47
try to actually play it no no I did I just like my lady she went downtown uh as like a 5-year-old you know bought some
00:34:01
[Music] broccoli you when I hear other people do it it makes me laugh but as I was doing it I'm still mystified by the how long people
00:34:14
it may be the thing I'm referenced to most in many ways I don't know what it is about it you know it's completely
00:34:20
inan yeah it's it's from another planet it's it's so here's the way I put it it's so d stupid Dana that's how people say it that's that's like that's their
00:34:32
backhanded compliment it's not funny at all so it's funny some people well someone told me the the commitment everyone hates it I love it
00:34:43
is what it's about it being so precious but you probably didn't know this I'm going to talk about myself but I kept going with that character we gave him a name Derek Stevens and I wrote an idea
00:34:54
that the record company asks him says he has to you know they have to kill him because they'll get more record sales
00:35:01
and they have a chart where it's like Jim Morrison sales went up and Jimmy Hendrick and so and that laid there you
00:35:09
know that was like no it was a funny conceptual idea Phil Hartman the late great was playing
00:35:15
the guy but so well I'm very flattered about that so oh my God I want to talk about more what other things that did you like of sorry funny you should ask
00:35:26
Opportunity Knocks I saw in theaters eating Milk Duds with my family uh when it came out uh do you remember doing that movie yeah I do it was a
00:35:37
interesting experience your first big movie out of SNL first big Au yeah it was a little it was a little difficult
00:35:44
you know cuz I they did not want to um let me write it with them or anything you know so then the movie came out and it was unreleasable
00:35:59
and so the worst well it was the ratings were so low in the theater they go it's
00:36:04
unreleasable it has to go straight the video then they asked me you got any ideas so I just came up with this silly
00:36:11
thing of Born to Be Wild where he jumps on the stage and does that so we put that in and a couple other little things
00:36:18
and then it got released it didn't make that much it's no Joe Dirt Joe dirt's a great comedy we all have our turkeys
00:36:24
that's another going back to the 70s or something [ __ ] J but kids like it it was
00:36:32
fanciful and silly but what what can we I well you you're my favorite guest I not because of saying everything you love about my entire career but you're just as a
00:36:45
person I like you the feeling is mutual but I truly I not I I don't mean to keep
00:36:50
just like diving into you know Carvey lore but I I it goes it runs pretty deep so I'm just making sure you know that um I you I would always love to hear that
00:37:01
you know because so I I and on this show people sometime I do like to give people
00:37:07
compliments because I think most creative people have an inner critic of you know or you're the other way like
00:37:14
hey have you seen it bulletproof yeah Alex I have to agree with you that it's not crazy you say this stuff I watched Dana he's not much older than me but I
00:37:26
watched him he was breaking obviously before anything happened with me and so I watched that and [ __ ] chopping
00:37:32
broccoli it's such and everyone thinks it's like this undiscovered but everyone seems to love if they know comedy and
00:37:39
it's so good I mean I love Hans and fronts I like all this stuff but that that's way way way up there so you're
00:37:45
not crazy and uh it's if especially if you're on SNL and you do characters I didn't do as many characters as most
00:37:52
people so I was more in amazement of like I can't do all this [ __ ] you know I'd watch all the guys I'm like this is
00:37:58
just not even possible I hear you but you also like you you carved out your own slice of that show and actually here's another fun fact I went at after
00:38:10
the first time so the the character you mentioned uh early on that I did guy who
00:38:15
just bought a boat uh I wrote that with a really great writer named Anna dresen who became head we started together at SNL she became headwriter but anyway she was like under the bleachers uh the
00:38:27
first time I did that and uh a and it went well the first time I did it uh and apparently Lauren uh like said turned to Anna and said uh it's very
00:38:40
Spade so I I always took that and I remember at the time being like yes I will take it it yeah it's it's very Spade so uh I took character called receptionist where
00:38:53
I was just being like really aloof to people like oh and you are and this is regarding and and then people would be
00:39:00
like who's that gay character you played I'm like um I don't think it's gay and they're like no you're gay and it's gay and the show and every sketch you're in is a gay person I'm like no no no so I
00:39:14
had say that cuz she's like anti no she thought I was like coming out but it was
00:39:21
uh I cuz it's somewhat feminine some of those you know what I mean I hear that one for me yeah it's just tricky right now when I look back I go oh I see
00:39:33
it it's just lorious it's lorious it's not any any sexual orientation it's just right right now of course like this of course I know
00:39:46
what lorus means but for the listeners who don't what does lorus mean it's it's being in a state of lorious oh say no more
00:40:00
[Music] back to our guest Alex bit in his great run on SNL I love when the premises see if you didn't have guy who owns a boat a
00:40:13
man owns a boat what is the title guy who drove a boat I think it's yeah all three of those all three of
00:40:19
those guy who saw a boat yeah I think that really just kind of like why why waste time you get right everyone you
00:40:25
know what I mean just I love the president presentation of that I did Germans who say nice things with Steve
00:40:31
Carell once and it just it could have worked without it but it's just no right presid exactly what it is this is what
00:40:38
you're getting obviously it's a pretentious kind of prick uh and uh you know it was and that was all that was all anad dren she and yeah she called it
00:40:50
called it that title which made me laugh when she said it and I was like yeah he that's his name of course and then she
00:40:57
also was the one who pitched we had been like writing the character and then even kind of like late in the game she she
00:41:04
was like well and what if he just like says he has a horrible dick and I was like yeah
00:41:11
so the thing that made the bit actually work W you know uh was like him saying his his subtext or whatever and that was all Anna so thank God for good
00:41:25
writers well we talked about this last week just this idea of almost it's a rodeo aspect where you're in the shoot
00:41:32
and you're going to wheel out and pivot to 15 million people or whatever and you're waiting and they're getting laughs and maybe some other cast member killed and you're still in the shoot and
00:41:44
you got your stuff rolling the car I mean it's it's a very so you went out there and landed it and so the writer she probably gave you a big hug because
00:41:55
all of her stuff killed and you have to you have to do it you know with timing and talent so it was like a hand and a
00:42:02
glove the two of us writing this and then a couple of guys uh who write pretty much exclusively for update uh uh
00:42:11
Pete Schultz and Josh Patton both then by like they started after like the first few times we did that bit they started like just texting us really really gross funny dick jokes and we
00:42:24
were like all right you're in you want to write this with us so then guys jumped on board and by the end it was
00:42:30
sort of a foreheaded beast where we we would just text each other the dumbest dumbest stuff we could but uh yeah I
00:42:36
read when you when you joined you um I didn't mean to cut you off there um when you joined I think your was it your
00:42:43
first host was Chappelle or was you just got the sit in room with Chappelle which would have sort of Blown Away most people I think it was like my four
00:42:50
fourth or fifth show so first year yeah but that's like that one of the you know
00:42:56
arguably best IC out there arguably uh there's a lot of really good ones but to just I remember being there and they just have the host walk in your office and you you couldn't believe it and especially if it's like a funny but it's
00:43:08
kind of in your world like same age like I would have someone that was 60 five come in I was you know 25 so it was a little different but when you have someone that's like out there that you
00:43:19
know that's cool it's such a weird thing that he's like he doesn't know anything
00:43:24
so he just thinks you're might be the best writer there right so like hey what are you thinking and you're like getting
00:43:29
nervous going what I don't know what the [ __ ] I'm doing what yeah you and you're Alex I want to ask you a question
00:43:35
because we talked about this before but you're on ADH and there's a host and then someone will say you know I don't
00:43:42
know uh who would be Taylor Swift is down there if you want to say hello and you're kind of walking and the door opens and you're meeting three-dimensionally this F like I had charlon hon to for example like you
00:43:55
could go meet charlon h the guy soil green he's waiting they're not going to tackle you way what were your I just want to for a second because I the experiential that's another they pretty
00:44:07
good the lorious experiential thing of going into ADH going seeing Lauren Michaels all this stuff is so
00:44:13
established and now you're a cast member and you're on that show and what were some of your M what what was your mind-blowing moments where you like I walked through ADH today and I got very
00:44:27
sort of I just felt weird I hear you it's just weird I I saw pictures and I was like I needed to get out of there something what's wrong yeah
00:44:39
I there pictures all over the place of you as like the head wound hairy guy did you happen to see those another monster um it was a big one I did not write that
00:44:49
one I rode that one the dog and I I'm not sure the star the dog was the star because they added more food but I did hold the wig on you know cuz I knew if
00:45:00
the wig flew off I knew it was a good enough sketch that let's not make it about that so I was really fighting
00:45:06
so that's thinking on your face well to to answer your question for for some reason the first thing that pops to mind is uh that even seeing ADH I knew would
00:45:18
kind of be kind of a big moment because again I kind of revered the show revered
00:45:23
the job so the first time I was sort of the running for it uh which was a few years before I actually ended up getting hired I had auditioned at
00:45:36
spay uh in Chicago and then they flew me there for some meetings and then one of the assistants
00:45:44
or something was like kind of walking me around they were walking me from the offices on 17 or like taking me down to
00:45:50
higgins's office which was several in some dungeon under the building uh and that but we
00:45:58
had to like go through eight for some reason they were like Hey we're walking by the studio do you want to see it and
00:46:04
I in my mind I remember going like and I said actually I'm I'm good thank you um
00:46:09
because I wanted to I didn't want to just like look at it as a tourist you know what I mean like I wanted to sort
00:46:14
of have a reason to be in there so even though they were I hadn't been invited to screen test and so I just sort of
00:46:22
wanted to save it for a time when I was actually being invited to perform in there was a opposed to just like look at
00:46:28
it as a fan if that makes sense and yeah interesting so then the first time I ever set foot in that studio was to screen test four years later um wow yeah
00:46:42
and and you know Chris Kelly uh one of the stage managers I was he there with either of you guys I don't think so
00:46:49
don't think so maybe when I would did the guest stuff you know sometimes i' do a cameo or something but yeah yeah so great guy he kind of you know walks you into the studio kind of just like
00:47:02
patting your head like a nervous dog uh you know and then uh Jenna who is is his his
00:47:11
like counterpart co co yeah Studio manager they both kind of babysit all these young nervous people about to screen test so anyway the first time I saw the studio was like walking out
00:47:23
there to go and you know uh do my screen test but uh yeah what a what a wild uh thing that it the place definitely has like a very surreal sweet little corner
00:47:36
of my heart I I love it so much and it took you three auditions to get the show over three years or something like that I mean took you a while to get on took me a good eight
00:47:47
yeah took me 34 years all told but uh yeah so I auditioned in 2013 uh for like like bunch of R in in Chicago uh twice that year the following
00:48:02
year sent in a tape and heard nothing the following year auditioned in La at iio West Spade oh um
00:48:13
andle gentleman joins us what that doof as Sher Sherman when she on that doof uh
00:48:20
no she that was the following year that that nutball that's that beautiful nutball put in a rubber room yes for
00:48:31
real um and a straight jacket how she been on say m flowers um in a [ __ ] bird cage uh no but so
00:48:44
that but that year in iio West they actually hired the guy who went on before me which was John rodnitzky
00:48:49
and uh super duper funny incredibly talented guy and so then the following year as when I auditioned in Chicago again and then that year finally got to screen test blah blah blah so all told I
00:49:02
think I did like six auditions over the course of four summer what a beating damn and then you finally get it and who came in with you Melissa right or Melissa V and uh Mikey day
00:49:16
moved from just lowly writer to uh cast the year oh yeah Melissa V Mikey d that's pretty big not until later right
00:49:29
no I know no I'm allergic to I I'll explain later yeah okay um so you get on and you did how
00:49:39
long three years uh six six just just twice that many years you did more than aade no I did six years six years might be the average
00:49:51
I did say that's 120 120 shows basically or more I don't know some years ago 20 that sounds about right it's a nice good run wait say SP you did
00:50:02
six Dana how many were you on there I think it was seven 12 12 no I mean I I never if you you know you don't that was such a great place for me to be you
00:50:17
know and you you when you step off of it and I had so much stuff coming at me but you step off of it and then you're like
00:50:22
oh you're kind of never going to do sketch comedy again unless you guest H you know there's Not Another Saturday Night Live there's no Fridays remember Fridays from the early ' 80s there's no
00:50:35
In Living Color yeah I mean SNL is just the little or the big engine that can not The Little Engine That Could um so
00:50:43
it's big engine that did and still does and can yes well you're on Bad Monkey now we didn't even talked about that before we get you out of here like Bad Monkey is uh it's so different it must
00:50:56
be because I'm when I left SNL there's just nothing like it as far as the excitement level I mean even the
00:51:02
doing takes and doing movies it's all fun but it builds up to when it comes out it's right it's fun and nervous when
00:51:09
you do it but it's not that crazy nerves true was there a question in there no I'm trying to see if you agree we're just observing that you you've hit the ground running after SNL seems like
00:51:21
you're in demand as an actor comedic actor whatever you want to call it so it's nice I mean that
00:51:27
got well-received show Vince vongh it's a blast is cool yeah that that show is great and then I mean it's far as the yeah there's no other way to be in front of like you
00:51:39
said 15 million people shooting out of a rodeo gate uh I don't think there's a lot of shows out there that that provide that level of excitement but uh you know
00:51:51
doing theater um they can't I don't think there are any theaters that could squeeze 15 M into them but doing doing a
00:51:59
play doing a musical yeah you did one recently right last year in Broadway yeah did did a play uh last summer which was a blast uh the cage the cottage and
00:52:11
then now uh I'm doing a musical so you guys should come what yes whoa Spade can dance how what are your what are your qualifications what are you the next
00:52:24
Liza Manelli or something up here what's what makes Alex Moffett a musical star all the sudden you know the Trump twin guy all right what's what's on the music
00:52:36
what's on your curriculum BT that's applicable to the live musical game I got some old tap shoes from red butt you can borrow
00:52:48
sorry I can so what are you going to do in the music are you going to sing and dance sing what are you what are you
00:52:54
going to do all all of it and my God the voice of a nightingale uh oh yeah I could tell just by you talking is it a is it a western mus ital
00:53:05
is it well I'm going to shoot up this town going to shot or is it a romance or is it is it a
00:53:12
remake of an a musical is it no it's a it's a brand newal it's an orig called Big O space pering up you perking up he went from do
00:53:27
not we counted as joh I've counted five so far six no but you guys do that instead of saying original you say Ridge you guys
00:53:38
have that in common um so anyway it's not out yet but you sing and dance as well did you ever sing and dance on SNL
00:53:45
once or twice yeah uh not to any great fanf fair but yeah I can kind of I can do a little bit of each enough that they allowed me to I you know well enough to
00:53:58
do it in comedic settings which I think is sort of my my purpose in this too is I'm not blowing anybody's hair back with my voice of an Angel but you know I can I can move my body little bit talkie
00:54:11
Broadway singing like I know is yes and I know what you want but I'm telling you
00:54:17
I'm in town tonight is like that sounds F how did you get an advanced copy of my
00:54:22
song D I just see you up there know what I want and I'm telling you I'm in town tonight and I like [ __ ] they're like don't add li no no it's not keep it
00:54:36
short maet yeah that was that literally a lyric or you're just doing the fake I'm just I loved the song that you made up Alex were you saying that I'm in town
00:54:48
a play does kind of mimic the crazy energy of SNL it is scary a play is very scary so that that wakes you up that's a good one oh yeah I uh that's like standup it's kind of the same thing like
00:55:00
totally exactly exactly yeah live Crowds Are are always gonna be scary uh totally
00:55:10
yeah do you guys are you the types who like when you're going out about to go out and do standup do you still feel
00:55:15
like the the butterflies in the basket yeah I definitely do yeah definitely Dana yeah yeah like in a good way right like yeah well it's good because in the
00:55:26
olden days it's like here you know on a Cowboy Bar Here Comes Dan you know what [ __ ] you you know they don't know who
00:55:33
you are now it's like sa fasten your comedy safety belts cuz this man brings it every time Live Comedy right now from I you know and so it's like it's like
00:55:46
it's like NASCAR you know him from this this you go to Open Mic you have you have notes and they're like he's here you know so that's the other pressure but it's a it's a good problem to have
00:55:59
as they say yeah it's a good Buzz too when you get off if it goes good you do a la Michael's impression because
00:56:06
everyone does a good one I don't I don't have there's no such thing as good or bad everyone has a different you know
00:56:13
different slight angle you'll you'll um we don't know you you do the best Lauren
00:56:19
go ahead Dana give us some more um you'll find Alex is uh is like a really really good guy and uh he did some great
00:56:27
work for us and um he's um he's going to have a long [Music] career um we had a moment uh neither of
00:56:37
us are gay but there we looked anyway it doesn't matter happen to dorso one time and Oro
00:56:43
sorry what what is it with Orso because also in that you know cast dinners yeah well it wasn't during our time but in my you know how also I guess PF CHS did it move yeah
00:56:59
yeah uh in a in a secret room under the giant horse out front um little p Chang humor for you yeah thank you um that's all I got no but we now it's at some
00:57:13
place in the Theater District but when I was uh when I had my little meeting with him where he you know said like uh
00:57:19
essentially you're know Dana um he he also said heard it's and you know what hey he ain't wrong um I think it was more just like he was setting the table for a conversation like hey what what we
00:57:33
don't know who who the hell are you like we've I've never seen you before so it was a valid thing um because he also was
00:57:40
like it's you know it's a it's an election year it's going to be tough to get your PE you know sometimes people
00:57:46
spin out if it's their first year and it's an election year and I was sort of I didn't really fight him on anything I
00:57:51
was sort of like yeah I hear you like I know you're like listen I'm just get me in was like I got Satur
00:57:58
Night Live yeah um but I Al so then at the end you know how he will like say ask if you have any questions for I don't know if that was his thing when you guys met
00:58:09
with him anything for me yeah he was like do you have any questions for me and for whatever reason my the only
00:58:15
thing I could think of was I just said uh I was like uh yeah um I've got my fiance in town with me and we wanted to like do a fun dinner tonight any recommendations
00:58:27
and so I asked him for a dinner recommendation in my which he was like oh uh oh uh well there's always Oro uh
00:58:35
so he was like but but he like but you know one of the my assistants could probably give you a list of recommendations but I was like no no no if or oros that's good I'll go there I I
00:58:46
want it from you so so we went to oros that night um and hey the any stars well let's uh can we hear about this uh because now you're married right so it apparently it was a good dinner yeah
00:59:00
cats out of the bag it worked sorry sorry hos hounds this old Ox is yoked you should have proposed at Oro because then you into your proposal you're like and
00:59:13
then Lauren made me go to Oro I should have proposed right then and there but we were already engaged so I guess we
00:59:20
should have just eloped at oros that again and put on Instagram yeah yeah I mean
00:59:26
is she is she's a she's a brilliant actor we met at a Vita cheese commercial audition in Chicago 12 years ago that's the place that's the place wow yeah and
00:59:39
who got it neither one of us and no one in fact I think the the script was so bad they chucked it out the window and never made the spot they said the the government just found out what's in Vita
00:59:52
cheese and it's being shut down so they not going to it's half as there's no cheese as
01:00:02
[Music] best sorry non sec I was talking to Lauren once and it was just about business Show Business and how the machinations of it he said no one likes to know how a hot dog gets
01:00:15
made I do I saw a YouTube video on it but the old days you have YouTube no no not in the old days youd have to accept my
01:00:28
analogy yeah okay I'm gonna go okay bye I'm gonna go o o Oprah um what would you
01:00:36
say to your younger self right now who the first day of SNL I'm just going is it Oprah or is it maybe either way that
01:00:45
was a really good Oprah impression did you ever get that good people that's all I got um say to my younger self you don't have to that it's
01:00:56
pretty corny no no it's a good question well here's a question this is I I you I
01:01:02
guess I would tell myself uh just um you know enjoy make sure you try the tery Sue at oros um it's out of this world but uh how did you two decide to pair up
01:01:14
for this because uh Spade correct me if I'm wrong didn't I've heard you tell the story about how you thought you were
01:01:21
going to get to play like Ross perau or something because they asked you they were like we're going to and then but
01:01:27
you were basically just a stand in for Dana is that am I getting that right pretty close yeah we we uh that Ross
01:01:34
perau came in the news I didn't even know how the minations worked at SN know but I hit up Smigel and said hey there's
01:01:40
this new guy but they of course knew all this because I was just seeing it on like Meet the Press I go maybe this guy
01:01:46
itd be funny for me to play and they're like oh oh yeah Dana's going to play it I'm like how many can Dana do and so but
01:01:54
then this is how dumb I am is that when it came up for like a special right like a nighttime Prime Time special there was
01:02:02
Clinton Ross Pro and George Bush so I said they said can you come in and do Ros Pro I was like oh [ __ ] yeah I
01:02:08
thought well of course Dana can't but I was just a standing for the wide shots with the whole for the wide
01:02:15
shot David had to put the wig on and go and I remember it was a sadest i' seen him he's out there with the stuff on and I go I'm sorry man this is pretty bad you know I tell GIS my manager I might
01:02:27
quit and he goes where you going to go who wants the guy that was bad on us now and then quit I go Jesus Christ that's
01:02:34
not the pet talk I was looking for he's a he's a uh he's firm but he's Fair our manager how about you you've done a few things I met David before SNL when he
01:02:47

01:02:58

01:03:04
stool it's 3,000 seats in the round Outdoors what's and I didn't know you could do stand up like that but he would
