00:04:29
go you know what's funny I I saw him on the show with uh someone about two weeks
00:04:34
ago and then about a month ago and I go rock you're actually on the show more now than when you were a cast member I
00:04:40
know and he and he hangs out a lot too right he just goes there why not it's like a
00:04:47
club I know it's kind of cool that is cool if I wasn't hosting and I was in New York I've only been there once I was
00:04:54
actually well the 40th but that doesn't do you like going down the hallway and seeing pictures of yourself from 40
00:05:01
years ago doing a sketch I have a difficult time trying to find them section I know there's any pictures of me on this one if you look at Anna
00:05:12
gastars Once you take them off and then we see you I don't know I don't know behind on a vault like get out of here
00:05:19
you're in all star are I do remember that though remember I don't know if you ever felt this but there was something
00:05:24
about being on that show and being like yeah is there a picture of me outside of Lauren's office like as if that meant
00:05:31
something like oh look there's a picture of uh me in this sketch and if that's at
00:05:36
Lauren's office like that's something special yes you know what that right when you go up the stairs to to people
00:05:44
listening eight four is where you shoot the show if you walk up the stairs nine floor it's also the balcony of the
00:05:50
audience you can watch and it's also Lauren's office and that's where they pick the sketches and on the air night
00:05:56
and if you walk up those steps and you're walking Lauren's door there's a secret door you can go in that's right
00:06:01
but there's there's frayed photos and I would always like to be on one of those because the host would see it and then
00:06:08
they would go oh that guy's on the show he must be something but there weren't any of me we're all
00:06:15
we're all wounded little clowns they were all of Dana everybody gets into that where's my photo where is it why
00:06:22
why not I would get very relaxed when I would see Lauren on a show day he'd have a tall foot long glass he'd take an amp
00:06:30
still light yeah right hamster light I remember that which is like two percent alcohol whatever that's how he you know
00:06:35
and then he would do that long pour yeah and you're like God we have a show today he's pretty relaxed I guess we're in
00:06:41
good shape sometimes I'd have a drink with him watching the monitors underneath the
00:06:47
bleachers because I had nothing to do in the show you guys are so so self-deprecating about there
00:06:53
hey Lauren can I get an app still I don't think I sat with him in that like in a way of being you know relaxed with him I remember just being in there to get notes but his notes were going
00:07:07
through whomever was there at the time like someone like Lyle or I don't know some someone was giving the notes to me through Lauren was telling her the notes and then she was telling me yeah and you
00:07:19
were one foot away yeah yeah you know what I like that I forgot about under the bleachers there's a monitor and
00:07:24
Lauren watches the show and then he says what he's thinking during dress and the
00:07:30
Lyle and someone write them down maybe Aaron yeah and then right Aaron Aaron Moroni and then they go I remember he
00:07:36
goes too much blue all right what's he doing here we don't need that entrance why do I see that
00:07:42
trophy bring Keith in here that's not a Chardonnay it's more the color of a Pinot Noir yeah one of these shorts too
00:07:49
tights why uh the testicles so wide why is one luckier than the other how old is he I forgot how old is Katan can he be younger Katan is Katan isn't
00:08:10
that what he is isn't that what he is isn't he a full sentence Chris Kattan like a little boy no speak yeah do you
00:08:17
remember we uh when I first got on the show I was well put in your office or shared an office with you and uh you remember that you and I and you think were uh oh fake
00:08:30
96. I don't remember that that much because I thought they sequestered me and he away from everyone because I
00:08:38
didn't do many sketches that was a year Dana I stayed one year maybe too long and right I mean you weren't there too long Lauren goes if you stay do five minutes a week you can do
00:08:50
whatever you want I was so excited to be seeing you because I was like a huge I'm still a huge fan but at that point I was
00:08:56
like a really huge like I loved your Tom Petty I loved your life I was like oh my God I'm sorry I was telling my mom like
00:09:01
I'm sharing an office of State it's crazy you know I was so like and you were totally relaxed of course you know
00:09:08
you were so dry and like uh I feel David you're too relaxed no I I that was the way when I got there you just see people that have been on so it's fun to say right oh I'm with people that are
00:09:20
actually on they've been through the [ __ ] grind it's like Saving Private Ryan you're the new guy and they're like
00:09:25
already in the middle of their hike and you're like hey I'm new and they're like get in line we're going in you're like we're all ready well I I don't know
00:09:32
anything yet they're all grizzled fast I didn't know what was happening but I just stuck with uh well Lauren was helpful he was just telling uh well he
00:09:43
told Shoemaker to tell you know say that why don't you try out the gibberish guy so that's what I did first uh week that
00:09:50
I was was that your first sketch yeah I was the school Forester but you know good afternoon
00:09:58
yeah but uh they uh you know they asked me to do that thing because I had no idea what to do otherwise I was like
00:10:05
sitting in front of a computer and not I didn't know what to do it's like six weeks before the end of the season putting diarrhea in your pants yeah you know oh you came in mid-season actually
00:10:17
stick sweets before the end of the season which is 90 after mid season yeah I came in four weeks for the end I know that's definitely weird because it's already going it's already happening and no one's got time for you yeah but I was
00:10:30
really excited to be in the same office with you I was like freaking out what did you bring from uh the growlings are
00:10:37
like you know they'd say I have some stuff in your back pocket was the gibberish guy one of those
00:10:44
Mr Peepers and um Mr Bieber's the monkey thing which uh which was made thank you
00:10:52
very much please hold up well I want to talk about Mr Peepers because I go by like when I watch the show and something
00:10:59
is kind of Supernatural like I've never seen before it never gets out of my brain and that that one was like wow
00:11:06
this is so different it's so cool weird and weird was that the eat the apple that's why I ate the apple and then I I humped somebody
00:11:17
yeah but to turn yourself in into a monkey a human like animal I'm yeah I'm a you know half man half monkey so that's what he was in your children he's literally a hybrid half man yeah
00:11:32
basically yeah I was there for uh read through the first time Mr Peepers uh Katan walks out half man half monkey wearing hugees Apple takes a bite yeah
00:11:46
and then I got on the table to like I have to show that I can do this physically because oh no you got on the
00:11:53
table and the read through in front of 60 people yeah people were not very happy
00:11:59
about it because you're getting Apple Shillings on everyone all over everybody ah don't get juice really yeah I got on
00:12:07
there I got like even jumped on the the main table the table and then at one point I went to the window like behind Lauren and jumped off there and I even
00:12:18
remember Pete yeah and Piedmont Piedmont was like Jesus Christ was who was your host Jesus Katan I don't know probably like Charlize
00:12:30
Theron or I think it's Charlize Theron do you remember Dana uh I wasn't there but a story where Ben Stiller Dolly
00:12:40
Parton was the host and he I was there yeah what happened he did you two or something well Ben's Ben stayed up all
00:12:46
night working on a U2 sketch he was I was the edge he was Bono and and Ben and Ben decided we would all get up in in the read through room with the 60 people and put on like a sketch but Ben had a
00:12:59
loose vest on with no no shirt underneath and Bennett stayed up all night and had not showered and he put
00:13:06
Dolly Parton right up against him and it was it was interesting poor Ben she has like Double D well I don't know why are we talking about that anyway that must have been an interesting sight
00:13:18
I think everyone knows Dolly Parton has big boobs when Dolly did the show where I'm on the Sound Stage with Phil and
00:13:25
John and she goes okay boys I'll look away so you can look at him I'm gonna look away now is that what you're saying
00:13:32
look all you want and again let's see nine to five as a kid and I was like Ugh I love nine to five nine to five yeah remember that movie with Lily Tomlin and Jane Fonda hell yes I remember her
00:13:46
that's great so so how long were you at Groundlings anyway how long I've stayed and your dad was the beginning he
00:13:52
started it with people basically which is amazing he's one of the founders yeah so he was in the the you know the main
00:13:58
or there wasn't a Sunday Show event so yeah he was one of the main uh he was a cast member original one with Paul
00:14:05
Reubens and you know oh wow the Apple doesn't fall too far from the tree [Laughter] so he was there he he uh I'm trying to
00:14:16
think who else uh Laurie Newman and uh you know both oh wow that cast I think and uh that's what inspired me and he's passed away but you did all the sticky
00:14:28
stuff he was actually in a class that Jerry Lewis taught once in the 50s wow so your dad is doing all this and then you're a little kid and so you're being exposed to Comedy
00:14:42
constantly as a little kid he watched a lot of old movies I mean you guys probably have the same thing you no you
00:14:48
were educated someplace somewhere of some sort of inspiration and no she was what inspired me I don't know what what
00:14:55
inspired you Dana I mean you must have like were you in doing to the mirror kind of thing alone in a jail cell it
00:15:01
was yeah well there were five kids four boys five kids and uh yeah I kind of had a dream of it Black Ice by the time I was eight nine or ten of just being one of those guys on TV I didn't
00:15:16
think movies or even Saturday Night Live it was just Danny Kaye or you know I don't know Smothers Brothers so I had a
00:15:23
secret dream but I went into cross country and track I never took theater I was a busboy then a waiter and I finally
00:15:30
got in on courage and had years of stage fright like little physical manifestations of trying to do stand up
00:15:37
so that's how I got into it but my dad was a high school teacher and my mom was a preschool teacher but it's interesting
00:15:44
to have a dad who specifically yes is a comedy sketch WonderCon well it's probably high
00:15:51
pressure because they judge you think they're judging are you any good and you're probably not that good my dad was
00:15:58
kind of funny like dads are and so I'm trying to make him laugh and my comedy sort of gets shaped by what he thinks is funny but he took me to Young Frankenstein he took me to some movies
00:16:09
that he thought was funny and it kind of made me go oh is that you know you're gonna be a student of your dad's comedy in a weird way indirectly what he laughs
00:16:21
at he watched Mash that was kind of dry I like that and so that actually helped if he was a super cornball it might have thrown me well you taught me about I
00:16:31
mean you kind of like introduced me to dry humor I mean there was other dry comedians but you they were like the
00:16:40
[ __ ] I mean wow you just totally stamped sarcasm on television like to the ultimate level and it was like really
00:16:51
cool to see I remember that because I was like brought up like uh my dad would show me older things
00:16:57
like old Hollywood you know like the chop them and keep them in the Marx Brothers not just a lot of physicality
00:17:02
yeah but also banter like bits you know March Brothers yeah yeah well but older Hollywood too like the black and white you know stuff in the 40s and the 50s and that stuff yeah
00:17:17
I love the team stuff stuff between one person and another and I thought connection and that kind of thing was really cool to see and that's what really inspired me too like you had that
00:17:30
with barley too and uh you know that was really cool to see you know it's funny I
00:17:36
I was thinking of Farley today because one time I know you have sort of we both have neck troubles sometimes I think
00:17:41
yours pretty bad too uh yours is probably worse at this point uh to be honest um but I was doing a motivational
00:17:47
speaker maybe yours is better I don't know I'm not saying that to be negative I'm just saying I know you've had some trouble oh no I know and uh I I'm gonna
00:17:55
text you I did a motivational speaker and I uh and he picked me up and he dropped me like backwards through a
00:18:00
table and it's and it yeah [ __ ] hurt and I rolled off and he goes you acted like you were hurt at the end it ruined it I go we're already at Commercial and it did hurt I I had a I had a few
00:18:12
thousand pound oxfall on me you know what Chris Farley throwing you around that sounds good
00:18:19
can we do some jokes do I have to be anyway it was funny that then I got up and I was like ow but my neck had been bad the whole time yeah I separated my
00:18:31
shoulder it's it it's uh bothers me to this day but it's very functional on SNL doing a pra us I really was stupid to do it it was over in ottoman doing like a
00:18:42
Dick Van Dyke type thing but I was down Quail just went over and crunched it and
00:18:47
because I don't know maybe my childhood was pretty rough I went I did like two more then I was walking around with my
00:18:53
shoulder up and Mary Tyler Moore was the host and her husband was there he's a doctor who goes and I think you
00:18:58
separated your shoulder so but it's non-surgical and the next night I had to do all these quick changes but anyway
00:19:04
you know you get hurt in Show Business did they pop it in no they didn't pop it in it's got I got a bump but I I work it
00:19:10
a lot I keep it Loose I broke uh my ankle on a Sandler movie too but but that's fine we don't want to listen to
00:19:16
this go on Wow were you uh I I got to a place where I was like you know used to the pain but I like a trooper like a you
00:19:27
know football guy you know I was like I just got to keep going gotta go with it you know yeah the rest of the pain and I
00:19:35
tell somebody you know and like I don't wanna I did tell somebody but I was just so like embarrassed by it yeah well it's
00:19:41
also what you don't want instinctually because I had the bypass when I was 42. you don't want
00:19:47
some people like to be pitied I find it an uncomfortable emotion of this sort of
00:19:52
like yeah oh Chris right so I I do understand the idea of like let's just not make this become my trademark or how people see me right and so for years I
00:20:03
had that yeah yeah do you feel okay today you know that well-intended people by the way but you know I do that when I'm on a movie and they go Spade's got a bad neck and then by the time
00:20:15
it gets around the crew they're like you have to go up on this uh this step of this ladder it's about six inches up do
00:20:22
you need help should we get your guy in here to do it and I go I can step up a step okay you don't have to do anything
00:20:28
we'll bring your stunt man in we'll bring him in for the day my stuntman was literally in the wings at all times smoking going I think I should do this
00:20:35
one I'm like it's just shaking hands of somebody's like you know we don't need you to throw your shoulder out because you're the biggest [ __ ] in America
00:20:42
did you did your stunt man look like you he sort of does I think I still have the same one I think I'm starting like older
00:20:48
than them so much we have to get a new one uh like it's over and over with me but we had a good one and they love
00:20:55
doing stunts man it's so funny on movies they just I didn't realize so later they get paid per stunt so if they look at
00:21:02
the Monitor and everyone because I liked it you wanna do it again they go yeah and I go oh he wants to do it again and
00:21:07
I real the stuntman once said the head of it goes uh coordinator goes he's never gonna say no he gets paid every
00:21:12
time so he'll break his neck he doesn't care he just has to keep doing it so I said oh let's not put them through it
00:21:18
but it's like bike wipeouts are falling off a cliff and you go they love it they're good at it
00:21:24
well sometimes they love it I've got to say I don't know if they love it but tough job
00:21:30
I had a guy tap out I had a stunt guy I had to go into a big barrel of of ice cold goo like submerged six feet under so you couldn't see or hear every
00:21:40
orifice was full and he literally came up and he'd done other stunts and then he he kind of had a panic attack so I was with Anthony Hopkins so I had to go get in the goo and uh that's where my
00:21:53
childhood kicked in I didn't like it but [ __ ] it I'll just do it you know doesn't that thing happens to his own stunts
00:21:58
that's what I hear are you talking about Tony oh gross uh Anthony Hopkins and I I call
00:22:06
him tone yeah I called him hoppy by the end but we're not it's not a competition listen I uh he bonded over our mutual uh
00:22:15
crazy fathers and then the last day of shooting he goes he kind of sounded like Rob Williams he's so uh charismatic just
00:22:22
bizarre in a chair oh do you want to come in my trailer for lunch so I'm like yeah that'd be great but then a woman
00:22:29
from Entertainment Tonight was there and says well you're scheduled to do this interview and she started crying so I
00:22:34
cancel it then his assistant it was the last day of shooting she said that was the first time Tony ever invited someone
00:22:40
into his trailer and you [ __ ] him over but my Entertainment Tonight segment apparently was great I'm gonna look at
00:22:47
that regrets but I love Entertainment Tonight I was such a I remember can you do the theme theme song Jody Watley Jody
00:22:54
Watley oh yeah what's his name did the theme music do it Tesh hey Chris Katan when you did um alien Gonzalez would they let you do that
00:23:09
again today you think whoops cancel well I'm I ironically I'm doing an alien Gonzalez uh film are you doing a docu-series for Apple TV yes
00:23:22
no can you give me a can you even tell me a little bit of how he talked we just want to see what the sensor probably because the algorithm will shut it down the algorithm will shut it down
00:23:34
if it's well picture uh picture of some child uh talk Talking softly that's it okay and you did on the show I think you did it right yeah I did and uh that's so funny and then right now I love that you
00:23:47
brought that up well I did Ching change if they ever find that I'm done no but they because we're thinking that there's a lot of stuff where you do something on the show back then
00:23:58
like I asked Timmy Meadows could you play a woman now in the show and he said I don't know
00:24:05
so like if could you play a Mexican-American on a show today and I don't know if they'd let you
00:24:11
do that uh probably not I did it Antonio Banderas and I don't think that was uh oh yeah that was I don't know if I could do on Twitter vendors now but I I don't know um I do sometimes for fun if I'm doing
00:24:23
stand-up I love to do Al Pacino from Scarface but the way I set it up I go I'm doing Al Pacino's really bizarre Cuban accent blame Al Pacino well I I
00:24:34
say it's one of my favorite performances but it's it's so abstracted you know I don't know when I might be cancelable but you know I definitely am down to
00:24:47
Western Europe pretty much Scandinavian accents right but other the rest of the world is off base Australian we can
00:24:54
still do Australia you could do a cowboy can't you just uh what I mean just a cowboy like John Wayne or something yeah well come on kitten halfway up limit
00:25:07
[Music] I just love that you're still doing great impressions even though you're not
00:25:13
on SNL anymore I mean you know what I mean like it's just like they're so good at it but you're still aware and you're
00:25:19
like you're so good at impre I used to like go out with this girl and she was like obsessed with you and we were like
00:25:25
I then became obsessed with you because of your characters it was like what is he gonna be in a cold opening what's the
00:25:31
cold opening yeah is he going to be in cold opening you know it's all like you know and he had this thank you you know
00:25:37
you were doing cold openings for years you know I've seen him do stand-up actually Dana the guy that booked me
00:25:44
at this thing this weekend he goes I booked Dana and Don Henley at that gig that I came to oh yeah and uh Dana kills
00:25:52
he does these private functions sometimes we all I mean Chris too we all do these private things and no one sees
00:25:58
them but Dana goes out there in his 18 different presidents and he does all these Impressions and it [ __ ] kills
00:26:05
and then I go up there and I go yeah hey dogs are funny and everyone's like dogs what is he talking about they don't relate to me at all well it's basically
00:26:13
and I it's doing sketches as a stand-up so when it works it works but in a big room and if you have great jokes like Dennis Miller or you they will carry over I mean Chris and I did one of the
00:26:26
weirdest gigs in in Laughlin Nevada and it was like breaking light in the afternoon with sun in your eyes oh you
00:26:33
guys I love it a giant 3000 seater with maybe 100 people and wind you know and I'm going this is just impossible and I'm kind of doing these little character characters you know and it's like you
00:26:46
know but um but thank you Chris that's very nice yeah that's what was happening it's not like
00:26:53
me it's like that's what was going on in comedy hey Chris I have a question it's not about yourself that crummy gig you
00:26:59
just did with Dana um this is about by the way that's the gig I probably auditioned for and didn't
00:27:05
get you you auditioned for stand-up I auditioned for your guys to stand up over there David's Dead new nickname is
00:27:11
self-depreci it's not carrying his fight no I did gigs this weekend I don't know when this will Air probably in 2028 but
00:27:19
I did a gig this weekend and uh there's so many different types of corporate gigs that are so funny to do because
00:27:25
most of them are hard most of them you do medium at best it's very hard to kill because you're usually going on in between the cord on blue and oh yeah people are eating and clanking and
00:27:39
they're almost you were you were they you feel like they were told right before do not connect eyes with the
00:27:45
comedian always look away and talk about something else while he's on stage because you're on stage going out of
00:27:51
your [ __ ] mind they're like crap out there they're all chuffing in the background you go it's so funny but
00:27:57
anyway I I did a gun I did a gun show once they all got these Big Steaks it was in Reno yeah and now ladies and Gentlemen The Comedy Shenanigans of Dana flarfo and they just they just have the
00:28:08
fork and knife their elbows are way out their backs are to me and they're just chowing down every once in a while they
00:28:15
would look over their neck and kind of noddle a bit and they're like why is this guy so noisy behind me I can't show
00:28:21
and it was like it was uh I don't know it was in Colorado and it was there was an elevation situation so you know when people were drinking that one drink is equivalent like three drinks so
00:28:32
everybody was way stronger awesome they were just like and there was one girl in
00:28:38
the front row was like no he's arguing with a boyfriend while I was on like no you don't you tell them how about you great no well it was like
00:28:53
am I involved in something that I just how can I be involved in something that I'm not I don't even know who you are I
00:29:01
was thinking that but you know they're like no I'm gonna say you can't say anyway and um but it gave me probably
00:29:07
you know it gave me some material by the way did you do a commercial was it the what is love yeah and that was a
00:29:14
commercial with the Super Bowl it was a Super Bowl those are nice yeah that was fun and it
00:29:21
was other people doing it right to it it was yes it was uh uh uh oh God what was her Missy Elliott and uh somebody else and then they said oh
00:29:34
this is a really big budget so they literally went to other countries to see people Bop their heads oh that's good
00:29:41
like that like people in the pan you know are penguins in Alaska were bopping their heads it was like penguins are expensive like weeks to shoot did you can you still do it does it hurt your head
00:29:52
no I didn't where did that come from Chris that that uh sketch and then movie with with will we're in the growlings and will worked at Butterfield and Butterfield and I remember that I saw
00:30:04
him and uh we were like joined at the hips like all the time we would do we would do uh like uh temp jobs one time he was an elf oh no I was an elephant he
00:30:15
was Santa and we're like walking around and really all these things that seem like sketches
00:30:21
pretty much that's funny we live like sketches so this is the early 90s before you got on or late 80s early 90s no it was like 94. so you guys were still not making a
00:30:33
living being funny at that point you had to do these what no not at all we were like making you know it was like
00:30:39
unemployment or like whatever you know unemployment and whatever you got but he met his wife at Butterfield and
00:30:45
Butterfield actually Vivica so that's a good thing so I Met Myself And whatever play with myself anyway so I we went to a bar and we saw a guy at the bar alone
00:30:57
and he was like just doing the thing to the it was all like he's pointing at the
00:31:04
pointing at a girl pointing back at himself pointing at a girl yeah he literally turned he got a drink at the bar he was like this and then he turned
00:31:10
two you know yes to the dance floor he was like you know do you want you want me to dance yeah yeah yeah do you want you don't you know okay that's that's fine whatever so that was basically it
00:31:22
and we're like God that guy is so pathetic you know what it's very hard to take a
00:31:29
funny scene like that where you know it's funny and you gotta figure out I mean you guys it was sort of just doing
00:31:35
that but I've seen scenes in life that I go that's so funny and it's to transfer
00:31:41
that into a sketch you can [ __ ] ruin it you can do it wrong and you go God what did I do wrong here because I know it's good I just am not adapting it
00:31:51
perfectly for what it should be something but you got the music right you got the look right it was a funny
00:31:57
hook the song was perfect and did in the sketch did they did they talk or no on no originally they weren't meant to talk it was just music over it yeah but they it just so how how long were they how
00:32:09
long were those sketches in you had no no verbal comedy it was all physical uh well we would go when Jim Carrey came on
00:32:16
and that was Fred Wolf's idea to add a third guy hey David hey Chris hey that's good you're not so good no that's funny that's not so funny you'd always walk around with a cigarette behind his
00:32:33
ear but he never smoked it hey Chris I don't smoke but uh I just can I talk to you after uh Chris first of all you're so you're so good it was so good you're
00:32:40
so [ __ ] funny that no it's just it's really it's really really funny I'm not just saying this I'm not just saying
00:32:45
this really funny you were good you're not so good anyway no it doesn't really matter I tell Dana all the time Dana Dana's the funniest I'm sorry I told
00:32:51
Dana I told Danny's bunnies but yeah no no no no well yeah yeah I know you would never do something in my movie you would never I mean you're stupid there's no way there's something and you
00:33:06
don't know do you still know um this is like the greatest thing I've ever heard it really is really is I'm sorry I just
00:33:12
wanted to join in the party I was thinking about the thing you said the other night it's the funniest thing I ever heard that's funny if I write that
00:33:19
up can I write that up it's the funnest thing I've ever seen funniest thing I've ever seen all Fred will folks no I'm not just saying this
00:33:25
Lauren said it was the funniest thing he's ever seen not just saying that you know anyway uh Chris so so yeah I
00:33:32
remember one with Sherry or Terry getting smashed in the middle and what was Jim Carrey just doing it with you guys that must have been a monster one I
00:33:37
think I remember that I do remember that yeah that was the kind of that was the sketch that kind of you know took off
00:33:42
that I was listening to that kind of music like techno music I was I don't know why I liked it but will was like you take care of the songs because I don't know anything about that we're strange kind of music you're like I just
00:33:55
all you need is one winner like that that's one [ __ ] song it works yeah did you guys so you did a commercial
00:34:01
that one did you ever do was there talk of them did you do a movie of that you did night at Roxbury night at the Rock
00:34:07
story absolutely and that's why you decided how they would talk and how did they I mean just they were kind of we
00:34:14
just sat in a in a room in front of John Baldwin and we were like he's like so what do they sound like who by the way
00:34:20
has a lot of energy I think he still does probably probably yeah and uh very sweet guys yeah so what do they sound
00:34:26
like and we well and I were like we don't uh we're not ready for this you could [ __ ] it up because you could
00:34:33
go bye guys sounds like this and everyone's like oh yeah well anyway yeah what are we doing yeah no I thought they would be sort of Eastern European for some reason wait we no that that was
00:34:45
later we were like do we decide we have to decide because we're writing a script now like where are they from we don't
00:34:51
know anything and somebody said like they're from you know the Brooklyn they're like no they're from Beverly
00:34:57
Hills and now they're Eastern European you know and Steve corn was the writer too as well
00:35:03
when we sat in front of gold and we're like What did we say so we went was up and he and what went what's up
00:35:11
and bowling was like I love it so that was it I love it well corn wrote the movie with you and will uh yeah we would be at the fourth Seasons while we were doing Lauren gave
00:35:25
us a room at the Four Seasons to write after we wrote sketches at SNL uh so we wrote the script while doing the show which probably happened a lot and then you go to the Four Seasons in New York
00:35:37
this was in New York yeah and then when we had a week off we'd go to Paramount and we go in Lauren's office and uh your
00:35:44
old friend Aaron was there and she like just say Okay she'd open up the place and we'd go right there and Lauren's
00:35:50
like I'm over here now uh you saw me in New York now I'm in L.A yeah but he uh his office used to be it was like when he got that opposite
00:36:02
Paramount or got it again because he did Black Sheep with you already did Tommy Boy and then dude Wayne's World with you
00:36:08
Dana and then uh he would refer to those all the time obviously because that was his Paramount stuff and they did so well
00:36:14
and people loved it but yeah we got that office and he would it used to be Crocodile Dundee's office so they're
00:36:20
taking off the Crocodile Dundee posters I'm putting up the Lorne movies like boneheads and Three Amigos that's not a noise Lauren's got some hits over there [ __ ]
00:36:34
yeah oh of course [Music] what was the great one with your brain when the dog was he smells my dog massive head wound Harry yes my God what
00:36:49
a great [ __ ] ahead and I wish you would show a clip of that that was the dog you know I was just writing great
00:36:54
writing and I was just like walking through but the dog they put I guess it was like Gerber's baby food or something
00:37:01
on this prosthetic skull I had to make them lick it right they put a little bit at dress he went well he was born yeah I
00:37:09
know and I had a I had a Lucille Ball moment where it's like okay do I hold the wig on right or do I let the wig go
00:37:16
off but I just thought oh the sketch is going so good I'll hold the wig on so it won't become about that maybe it was the
00:37:22
bad choice but when a dog goes crazy the audience goes and you go he smells my dog or something yeah yeah but he yeah he says he smells my dog and but he was literally pulling the thing off yeah
00:37:34
yeah so genius about it like it was such a struggle so funny that's a genius who put that on there did you guys ever have a sketch with an animal uh during your time there
00:37:57
I I don't remember I don't remember I think I had him there was a real monkey and a Mr peeper's thing but we didn't touch it without the same monkey that Mike used
00:38:09
for sprockets they just had one monkey that they yeah that was the one it was under Lauren's desk we're ready to go
00:38:15
anytime oh sprockets monkey just waiting at the station for the call in his dressing room yeah exactly what about it oh you did Dancing with the Stars too is it was it too hard I thought about that
00:38:26
show and I go I would collapse so quickly yeah that's a good thing to bring up uh let's dance with the stars
00:38:33
yeah so I was on Dancing With the Stars and uh yeah it was it's amazing how much those dancers are like they were so
00:38:41
trained I mean yeah so good they're so good and they're so motivated and they give you like caveats like you get more money if you stay a week or you get or they get more money
00:38:55
something because and they want you to have followers you want people to call in so those kind of shows incorporate
00:39:00
everything that helps them and it's actually helps you too but those shows seem so hard uh because just regular I
00:39:09
think the training they're so tough about they do not want you it's an all-day event they're just like the more
00:39:14
you train the better you're gonna win you're like I know but I'm [ __ ] lazy I don't want to do this all day
00:39:20
yeah I wasn't lazy I was in it but it was just hard and they were like make me do moves that I'm like I don't know how
00:39:27
to do that and they're like I was kind of like and you may be like a situated so it's like more about not more about
00:39:33
like easier for me so I could just do a couple moves yeah they trick it to where they look like you're doing a lot but
00:39:40
you're really not doing that much hopefully yeah it's like I can't spin like that and like there's like Simone
00:39:46
biles like I mean these incredible moves and she's like a gymnast I'm like I can't speak for that you know and she
00:39:53
was like the same one I would I would just quit yeah yeah it's yeah she was incredible and like the background had
00:40:00
fire going on I'm like mine's has like a little little snow sparklers we should we should do a good show sketch comedy with the dancers and bring them out go come on I hit that line no slow down
00:40:11
yeah you're my you're mugging you're mugging just a spray tan budget a lot I mean that it is fun show to watch everyone gets in everyone's good looking all the guys all the girls it's
00:40:24
unbelievable but it's turned into such a Biz over there everything about it yeah
00:40:29
it was very I did learn a lot about followers I remember because I was with Whitney Carson she's like you gotta go
00:40:35
you gotta get these followers here I'm like oh is that what's going on I did not know that was an important thing I
00:40:41
learned a lot about Vicodin well I mean when you get sore I get sore just going to the mailbox so uh I go up
00:40:47
time for a Vicodin I wouldn't do it but I just picked up a kettlebell oh you you
00:40:54

take the edge off no it'll die cut I was taking a Gabapentin was the thing that they did yes never even heard of that
00:41:09
