00:00:06
to the show I'm David Spade and I'm Dan glarney we are have Andy Samberg who's people been asked about it about yeah uh to uh have Mom because he's one of the
00:00:17
uh greats of SNL that's been around it's there's a certain pocket there that he had a great run on that he went to uh
00:00:24
Brooklyn Nine-Nine um and we talk about that we talk about Hotel Transylvania we talk about all his
00:00:30
videos he did the process and how we got on Saturday Night Live well his uh experiences with Lauren we
00:00:38
asked him some questions maybe go some places you wouldn't expect or you wouldn't like David had some nice
00:00:45
rejoinders about the Vanity Fair party and that's just a bonus part of the episode I do have a celebrity crush on
00:00:51
Kate Blanchett I will say that Brad Pitt in a headlock at the Oscars backstage I heard who will expand on
00:01:03
that lie but Adam Sandberg very friendly Nice Guy funny uh we talk about Mark Wahlberg we talk about Dick in a Box yep talk about the Lonely Island stuff
00:01:17
um pop star the movie and uh he's just got a lot going and he was super fun good mood yep I loved it I had a great time with him he came in you know a lot of people don't come in he came in he
00:01:29
came in and uh gambled with his health by being around two idiots and uh great time so here he is here he is Amber Adam Sandberg oh [ __ ] Andy I did it twice he
00:01:42
did say all right he did say he said it happens all the time even his wife calls him Adam Sandberg
00:01:48
um let's start uh well we'll just keep this of course I mistake Adam Sandberg with Adam and December with Adam Sandler say that three times fast I
00:01:58
mistake Adam's angry no Adam Sandler and no I know Andy Samberg three times toy boat Adam Sandler and Andy Samberg Adam
00:02:11
Sandler Andy Samberg okay we'll give away one joke he said he introduced he was doing stand-up and they they messed
00:02:17
his name up so bad they could they just introduced him as Adam Sandler and he crushed as Sandler
00:02:27
[Music] he did kind of the same thing where you were on the show and then you went to a sitcom pretty quickly was it right the next season yeah and I I mean I didn't want to yeah and then it
00:02:46
was just Mike Sure asked and I was like oh [ __ ] I saw I saw what he did with polar and I was like it's good yeah I
00:02:52
mean if you I sort of went in holy she doesn't go down for anybody what does that mean I don't know I just said it as a joke she's powerful no when you
00:03:07
leave the show it's very scary and uh and then they said which I used to say was uh you get like one kind of free
00:03:14
shot you know like if you jump off the show they go do you want to back then it was a little more going on in that world
00:03:20
like they said do you want to do your own sitcom oh yeah like Paulie Shore I got one you know this you get one but
00:03:25
it's very hard it's riskier and then just shoot me was already shot it was already at the upfronts
00:03:32
and they picked it and then Laura sanjicom was out there to announce it and the night before they pulled her and
00:03:37
said it's just we need one more thing to this so it was so weird so I got to see the whole pilot oh wow and then the guy
00:03:44
was from Larry Sanders which I loved and the the writer Steve Levitan and then um
00:03:50
never heard he said you want to add and please that's wild I had no idea about it yeah
00:03:56
so I said I got to see it which has helped and I go oh I'm coming from the most competitive toughest funniest
00:04:02
people in the world not that they weren't funny but they're all actors and I go oh there's no one like me here you know I had a Dana there and I had
00:04:08
everyone better than me thank you David yeah and so I'm saying because he's great and you go
00:04:14
wow when I'm not in a room with Sandler Rock Farley Michael Myers these guys are just great actors and
00:04:21
funny but I there's not one like me exactly I could sort of jump out George Siegel said it's four actors in a
00:04:26
cartoon that's what he used to say about me and I have thanks you were the fonts you guys it was kind of cool that it's
00:04:33
an observation yeah Brooklyn what was the name of yours again just yourself just shoot me I'm sorry
00:04:38
you guys also went you were the stars you were the fonzes but you had an ensemble yes and so that's not yeah like
00:04:46
hanging out on a movie you can't do it you can do it on live streaming now if no one sees it no one cares but in those days like movies you're hung out there
00:04:53
but I thought you yeah people would see it and they were like you I know and uh your experience I think I did know you
00:04:58
right is it CBS Radford right yeah so you shot it same stage so you got into it and you somewhat hesitantly but you
00:05:05
jumped in you did your best because once you say yes to something right yeah you got to try and make it good did you
00:05:10
write on that and uh you're gonna be writing just casually but yeah no I never I never was like in the room or
00:05:17
had my name on it isn't that great though but it was gonna be good stuff anyway and it works that's the craziest
00:05:22
feeling coming from SNL is having someone hand you great jokes and you're like wait I get to just have these and then everyone thinks I thought of them
00:05:28
and then they go how do we make these better for you you're like oh I don't know we were both stand-ups that was a revolution for me if Bonnie Turner gave
00:05:34
the church lady can say this WOW awesome yeah it is true it does happen at SNL it takes a couple years before someone
00:05:40
gives you a great joke though when he came out of the gate huge and thank you David I think it's my favorite podcast
00:05:46
how to work a little bit but revolutionized Saturday Night Live but we can get to that thing we'll get to that because in the live show though I did not come out of the gate strong but you revolutionized the thing right
00:05:59
YouTube comes out SNL is still going yes and then you came in with your buddies and it went boo it went it was it was fortuitous timing I like to say with the
00:06:11
YouTube stuff because you know yeah yeah it started with like Albert Brooks doing short films and McKay did short films
00:06:17
and it was like a long history of it at the shower Vision exactly Schiller vision's great even like the Eddie
00:06:23
Murphy stuff doing like white like me where he was like walking around town like there's always cool pre-tapes we
00:06:30
just were like we're going to do them every week SNL digital they even got a name yeah
00:06:36
it's like an exciting idea yeah and they uh it was first was lazy Sunday if I'm correct this was the first one people
00:06:43
liked do you think you blew up YouTube or YouTube blew you I think I think we are responsible for YouTube and they owe us a lot of things I knew a guy who was trying to do YouTube and he was like six
00:06:55
months late he had all the technology there oh he's gonna do a YouTube yeah YouTube and then YouTube came out and
00:07:02
then he was I was with him and he was trying to think of a name he had grouper and then a friend of mine renamed it
00:07:08
crackle in Sony box oh yeah I remember those but YouTube is such a perfect name like DocuSign you have to sign documents
00:07:15
I have to I own documents I shouldn't be promoting my portfolio I mean I interact with DocuSign a lot I do too I think I love you you know that Danny it's a penny I eat a penny what no
00:07:29
you get a penny every time someone signs something just an angel get his wings no I do um so YouTube was only out about six
00:07:37
months right or yeah that sounds about right I mean we hadn't heard of it until someone told us they just watched Lazy
00:07:44
Sunday on YouTube oh wow and then we were like what's that and then we realized oh someone finally thought of it an actual good layout for streaming
00:07:52
videos because there had been tons of websites trying to do it yeah and especially like comedy shorts and like
00:07:58
that kind of thing and we would submit to websites our Lonely Island stuff that we were making before us before yeah
00:08:05
um and we had our own website that we like somehow finagled server space on you know right around Broadband stuff to come in right I don't know Broadband I
00:08:16
heard was starting to come in yeah it was perfect timing yeah and uh you gotta keep you know they just eradicated measles but um
00:08:27
we you know we heard of YouTube and then like the next week put all our videos on YouTube because we were like oh this is
00:08:32
the best version yeah it finally worked I found a spot yeah you went I just want to get the pronunciations right it's
00:08:39
Andy um Andy's name your name was David I want to say listen to this thing that's what someone told me look his name was Andrew somebody told him I called him David no
00:08:50
his name was David and my brother's name is Andy and my name is David you can't make this yeah
00:08:56
was the person who told you Adam Sandler's name yeah it was it was Wikipedia it was
00:09:04
printed out um but I know about you I just didn't know that that's okay your bandmates
00:09:12
from eighth grade Advocates Schaefer yeah to Coney yeah but it's his fault for having that name like people yeah well I was Dana Garney for years and no one
00:09:29
ever got it right you were what Dana Garney who's up next to stand up well by the
00:09:35
way Dan and Garney I've been oh you must have been I'm Adam everyone thinks I'm Adam because of Sandler oh yeah yeah
00:09:42
Adam Sandberg oh sometimes one time I was doing stand-up before I got SNL and someone literally introduced me as Adam Sandler
00:10:07
here's my one they mess up David I go to the Improv a couple times a week just to
00:10:12
give him a little treat you know oh yeah what do you want to say and they go uh I
00:10:19
go just say I guess the last movie on Netflix was the wrong Miss Diego just say the wrong Missy and some other [ __ ] and they go got it and they go this guy
00:10:26
was in the right Matilda the quiet and I go why is that one so hard they say it wrong every single time you say it wrong I came up during the rough and tumble Club days my biggest intro from Tony De
00:10:39
Paul the holy city zoo and I'm nervous stand up here he is Dana Garney the man who invented the [ __ ] that was the
00:10:46
first one that was it I didn't ask him some people think it's funny I don't know about that you know it was rough and tumble yep yep yeah 40 Seasons
00:10:56
they're trying to nag you on the way up then Robin Williams would come in her I just want to play and you do like three
00:11:02
hours I'm going back to Brooklyn I want to go back because no listen this Brooklyn Nine-Nine thing because he got
00:11:09
it for an Emmy I think he won an Emmy two Golden Globes who does his homework I got some Globes back when that meant
00:11:15
something you know sure do you want to hear people say don't ever talk about yourself on the podcast
00:11:21
but guess what so here's what's going to happen all right I'm in the audience and they go right now Golden Globe by the
00:11:27
way we're back in [ __ ] Azusa you know they keep the people from TV the Golden Gloves on TV Tom Cruise is up front I'm
00:11:33
on the third deck where I have to take two elevators to get the stage they know I'm not gonna win so try time so yeah so
00:11:39
I'm back there and they go but it was a harder supporting category it was against Don Cheadle it was against every
00:11:45
supporting category on TV category supporting in anything for your show yeah so I'm up against Gregory Peck John John Don Cheadle we are it's drama
00:11:59
comedy everything so I can't I already won because I just got that far yeah and so they go uh uh but seriously Gregory
00:12:05
he beat me in he did 90 seconds in Moby Dick and he goes I can't believe I'm getting it I worked for 96. I'm like no [ __ ] [ __ ] I slugged out 148 episode anyway and
00:12:18
then at the end David Spade I'm Gregory Peck sorry I don't even know Peck that sounds like
00:12:24
that's that's one of those things are going is that close enough to an old person so what
00:12:30
happened so at the Emmys they go like this the this is supporting comedy and they
00:12:36
go David Hyde Pierce and if you saw the slow motion of my shoulders go up and I went back down and then went for an Applause and I was like did anyone [ __ ] see that false false start yes
00:12:49
and it's like everyone saw it I do feel like when people react negatively when they don't win it's real I feel like you can
00:12:56
do it and everyone will think it's funny but also you can just be honest about that I would just mouth what the [ __ ]
00:13:03
yeah at least you're doing something comedy how many times were you nominated you
00:13:08
won twice uh I was for Brooklyn Nine-Nine that was the only nomination and win was the show in me that year and
00:13:17
then never again nominated that's weird yes politics why were you bad after that
00:13:22
I just didn't care as I poured you your nickname was phone it in on this yeah yeah he won is
00:13:34
I like this and everything about it have you seen these shows like uh you notice the Emmys because they sort of lost a
00:13:40
little bit over the years but let's say it's still exciting so they they uh they win something and someone that wins on a show or a comedy the next year they get canceled and you go that's a mind
00:13:52
[ __ ] like you just won you go at least we have a little job security here you're talking about the show got chance
00:13:57
like the show yeah you like so many wins or the show wins and then the show gets canceled and you go what happened in
00:14:02
that like I guess it wasn't good right you go not only are we not up for one now we're canceled a
00:14:09
one year later do you think that they like hide that Emmy in the closet and like shame shame it it's sad yeah I
00:14:15
would take it out oh you happy Emmy you happy you ain't all that yeah you stay in there there's a little Nicholas Cage sneaking in there for your fans wow oh yeah we could talk plenty about it we
00:14:27
can talk about that it's hard you have so much but the cool thing is you you did 152 episodes your first kind of
00:14:34
thing I do my homework I love it I didn't know that I did 150 times I'm a Bay Area guy like you so I know that's true down for you and but not anymore do you still stay up there I have a house

00:15:44
does he gain by saying that to him exactly he got mad because he was a dick I jumped out of my chair so he could sit in my chair he was 73 yeah and he's coming over I jumped out and he thought
00:15:56
I patronized him you [ __ ] jump out of a chair for me again this was um tough guys year before I got SNL I

00:16:37
[Music] did you have it like an artistic childhood and was there stuff going on in the house or with your mom and dad or or how did you and your eighth grade buddies get so into comedy we just were
00:16:50
I don't know just met these guys like soul mates right and yeah actually I like just found a a letter I wrote
00:16:57
myself it was like a third grade exercise when I was eight where they're like you know say write a letter to yourself what you think you'll be in 20
00:17:03
years my mom just sent this to me wow from the basement and it was like I'm gonna be a famous comedian and I'll be
00:17:08
married and I'm gonna have two kids and I was just like oh [ __ ] it's all exactly what happened how cool wow that's how
00:17:14
old were you eight I don't know why honestly it started uh not to blow smoke but I I used to sneak into the TV room in our house and watch the Saturday night's Main
00:17:26
Event the the WWF wrestling thing and it was only on once a month he wasn't on that and every other time it wasn't on
00:17:32
it was SNL uh accident I started watching SNL because I was like oh it's not on but what's this and it was it was right when it was
00:17:39
your first cast and that's when I got into the show so you were like why not 12 or something or 10 12. I honestly I
00:17:48
might have been like eight [ __ ] trying to think you can do this this is allowed I want to be like I want to be like that guy I'm pointing at you right now for people
00:18:01
because you can't see us but I'm pointing right at you we can never forget that I mean I it'll hit me sometimes if you're up there in a
00:18:07
costume on a stage somewhere doing something you go I'm this is my job really also somebody's not working I
00:18:14
mean you guys probably grew up watching SNL yeah it probably wasn't possessed different from how it was for for me for
00:18:22
me to run into danak right at the show it was just nerve-wracking yeah and then he talks to you about his vodka for like
00:18:27
an hour and a half yeah well you don't have to leave the show yeah he was an investor early on it's insane
00:18:35
to bumping anyone from that original cast it's crazy walk around the offices and Aykroyd came in knock knock highlight sir fair enough sir that's right he's good about it too Acura is
00:18:46
very like I liked what you did it was very funny and you're like holy [ __ ] this is crazy every time I run into him
00:18:51
he goes you know the church lady was kind of uh you know sir it was sort of a perfect Comic character yeah if I see
00:18:58
him at the 50th I'm waiting for it I go hey Dan what about the to go to the 40th
00:19:03
I was at the 40th yeah fun right I did a video with Sandler we did the thing about everyone breaking oh you did yeah
00:19:09
they they put it in chick can alley but uh it played well online you presented it from a bad spot on the stage no no I don't I did not make that up people used to talk about at the
00:19:26
table read if you were in the second half of the read right in the middle of the second half that's chicken alley
00:19:31
where nothing plays because everyone's exhausted yeah and then once everyone knows there's one or two left they laugh again yeah it's not bad to be the if
00:19:37
you're very alert got on right of course it aired and it played well but it was like people were partying already and
00:19:43
drinking and walking I think Mike and I went on last didn't we Wayne's World were you dead last I thought we were dead last that's great we'll see but
00:19:50
that's a good spot then they're waking up when it's almost over I said would you be either really angry or really
00:19:55
flattered I said that to Mike right before he went out I think probably a little little of both uh it worked out
00:20:01
you know it was interesting probably shouldn't say this say anything you want to me or David it was such a
00:20:08
comedy room and people are so [ __ ] like SNL competitive that like the the monologue opening thing was Timberlake
00:20:15
and Fallon doing like SNL through the years and it was like a full-on crowd-pleasing show-stopper yeah and
00:20:21
half the room was kind of like arms crossed like Jesus I don't want air in this room we're all wounded little if he does good then I don't do it yeah
00:20:33
and everyone at home was like this is the greatest I heard there's no plus ones that's always weird so my wife's not
00:20:59
coming wait that won't go down well you know you weren't at Vanity Fair the other night right I didn't go because of
00:21:05
the knee oh the neither I just want you to know I was invited though oh yeah Dana this Vanity Fair thing I should
00:21:11
have fun [ __ ] day I couldn't ring anyone for 25 years never went so finally they stopped inviting me oh God for people they hear about that Vanity Fair party like the Oscar party right
00:21:21
yeah so there's one at guyos after that which is really fun and that's at least I know him so it's easier but
00:21:27
Vanity Fair it's not audition but you just hear when it oh if you want to go to the Vanity Fair I always thought I
00:21:33
was always invited and then one year I go hey I didn't hear about that Vanity Fair I think I want to go to that and bring my buddy and they go it's just so
00:21:39
tricky this year I'm like yeah oh what does that mean they're like I can't go and they're like um it's not that it's
00:21:44
just that you can't right now and I'm like so what is that and then but they for people listening you know you see
00:21:52
pictures of the Vanity Fair party but it's it's a fun party but they stagger you yes so you either go like Apatow I didn't know anyone and I got no plus one
00:22:03
and I said I think I'm gonna go I get home from my shows I just want to go at least do something I can't stay all the
00:22:08
way awake till a guy's party but I go I'll just go to this one oh wait what's my time yes and so it gets a little
00:22:15
sweaty I got 9 30 which is pretty good it's not bad this is all embarrassing it's a cool group it's cool kids and
00:22:21
they go right between Gigi Hadid and Harvey Weinstein yeah so they let him out just a furloughed him he's there like this is the only thing you get out it's cruel and unusual not to let that
00:22:32
man go to that party so I never put him right back embarrassingly but 9 30 is not bad one year I got
00:22:39
I got midnight and no plus one I didn't go too embarrassing now you gotta fly in the wall so it's a hit podcast no they
00:22:46
know that this is it's intense but but back to our guests no I want to tell them because I want to say because he's done this and you're a better I think that when you go and you go the
00:22:56
you know you get out by yourself and I hit Apatow and I say are you there and he goes look I gotta hear five I got
00:23:02
five how did you sound do it again there was a little Apatow you cop an attitude and just say the name
00:23:18
oh yeah that was really funny it was good he didn't say that he doesn't say that's funny very generous I
00:23:25
hit right when all the models hit and they're all 50 feet tall and I go can I just cut in front of you guys and just
00:23:30
and they're like is someone talking and uh so I go I remember I went up to Jessica Alba I go Oh I thought you're Nancy Pelosi that's that was my joke to her yeah she goes [ __ ] you
00:23:42
and I go no she's right behind you and I go because it's funny because one time she kicked me in the ass at the Golden
00:23:48
Gloves and she said hey fats and I turn around I don't even know her Nancy Pelosi no I'm sorry
00:23:57
could I do mine now I saw an answer Valencia at Wendy's once no I tried to get you back Nancy
00:24:05
Nancy always looks like she just sat on something cold and wet sorry that's my Nancy Pelosi joke we'll finish this no there's no story I was
00:24:17
just saying it's embarrassing and I go to and I went there and uh that was it I guess so wait why did Alba call you fats
00:24:24
she did because she thought it was funny and I thought it was funny oh okay if you really were fat that would be
00:24:29
insensitive yeah I just no I didn't care it was back in the dark angel days I was just getting her back because sometimes if I see her she says something like that so understand you guys have kind of like uh just funny
00:24:48
yeah so it was an elephant report it was nothing mean it was just being stupid carpet Rapport that is a thing that if
00:24:53
you go to a lot of award shows and and award show parties you do start having like award season friends that you only
00:25:00
see at events and it's a very strange phenomenon you're like hey but then you like and you never see them again you're
00:25:06

00:25:12

Pitt yeah neither no 11 times what I'm interested in right now I've got this podcast I'm interested in Andy and his
00:25:56
buddies they make their thing and then they come to SNL and your your first boom and then you did come up with Lazy
00:26:04
Sunday at SNL yeah so how to walk through that process you you meet Lauren you tell him what what was your first meeting with Lauren or the writers what was that well we got the show actually
00:26:15
because um we were writing on the MTV Movie Awards and Fallon hosted so I I do uh oh
00:26:21
a great deal to Fallon oh my God because I knew he did Sandler and his it was very winky oh wow um what was your
00:26:34
take on it was Jimmy Fallon at a funeral oh my God it's so sad all right I'm so sad what a tragedy anyway here's the next album
00:26:50
but yeah but yes he was great and he was super great to us and we got some stuff in the show and he and and Higgins and
00:26:57
Shoemaker were there uh for for people SNL producers and a bunch of the writers and we kind of hit it off with everybody so they were like you guys should audition so um how did you audition what do you do
00:27:08
were you Andy Samberg are you with your buddies or uh I I did a solo uh and I did I had been doing stand-up for like five or six years seven years really I
00:27:19
didn't know that yeah where were you playing mostly well I started off I was going to NYU for a couple years and I
00:27:24
started doing just bringer shows in New York so like seller and Boston Comedy Club
00:27:29
Gotham all those kinds of places and then I moved out here and um like the best I ever got to was doing a couple shows here and there at the Improv um and then I did premium blend on
00:27:40
Comedy Central that was kind of that was a high water mark for me yeah um okay but so I did some of that stuff
00:27:46
and then they were like but you need characters and Impressions and I was like I don't have um so we didn't really not really we
00:27:53
just made up a bunch of [ __ ] like the weeks leading up to it um and those guys helped me keep in your arm and it went well so they said you
00:28:00
need to come back and then they also had your arm audition and Kiev did a meeting with Lauren and we all submitted a
00:28:05
writing packet together all three writing yeah and you got a feature performer yeah and then they got hired
00:28:12
as writers like it was a crazy dream where all of a sudden all the three you guys to get on is very well they're
00:28:17
coming with your buddies from eighth grade and now we're on Saturday Night Live and we had already been I mean we'd
00:28:22
known each other a long time so we had shorthand and we trusted each other but it was also like we had been we had spent the last five years in La making
00:28:29
stuff so we had kind of a a rhythm of what we were doing already and a TV show on YouTube basically kind
00:28:36
of yeah I mean it didn't people didn't really know about it the same way they do now but it was
00:28:41
it was the same thing in that we had gotten a lot of the bad stuff out of our system we'll get to practice well the
00:28:48
thing is is that and for young people today it just I say well just do a YouTube channel do this and that and then you get two views or five and then you're reading about someone else with you know Rihanna has 500 million and to
00:29:00
keep yourself going you guys obviously just loved it even though it wasn't getting tremendous traction no it was
00:29:06
also just a different time like YouTube really didn't exist yet when we were doing it you didn't know that compare and despair thing for us it was like
00:29:12
let's just make stuff until we feel like we're good and it'll it'll work itself out one way or another but we never
00:29:18
thought we'd get SNL that was like my big only dream and I was just Fallen saw something I even went and like did the Groundlings like intro audition for the classes and stuff and just tanked it
00:29:31
I just I just wanted it too bad you know I was like my brain went a million different places isn't that the tough
00:29:37
part of show is try not to try because whenever you push it never works and yet you want to be present it's just trying
00:29:43
to catch the win it's always there but isn't it great when you're in the pocket you don't give a [ __ ] yeah like by your
00:29:49
I don't know what year did you kind of go I'm not nervous on stage I'm relaxed was it right away or was it it took me
00:29:55
like I think 80 shows I think it was probably by like your four or five yeah it's once you feel like you're not gonna
00:30:01
get fired yeah I think is truly it then you get genuinely loose and then people relax because you're relaxed yeah where
00:30:09
it was like pretty much on because I had to go home in May and he wouldn't decide yeah you guys had a crazy stretch I had to check out my apartment I didn't get out and then well
00:30:20
because the old guys my team didn't leave I stayed at until 93 yeah so you you overlapped and that was a reason but once we all cleared out I think David had a pretty hot two years yeah when you
00:30:32
guys were all there at the same time like the two different Generations we were and you look at it it's so rare in
00:30:38
the history of the show where you look at both generations and it's [ __ ] stacked in both yeah that's the craziest part to me about when you guys were 90 to 93 that I I feel like that was the
00:30:51
most loaded because we had David and Farley and Sandler and Chris Rock and they're they're coming up and doing
00:30:56
stuff Adam's getting the guitars yeah and then we had Phil Hartman and myself and Mike Myers yeah
00:31:02
that's a lot of people making [ __ ] that like ended up on a t-shirt you know yeah well we talked with Lauren about that
00:31:08
and it was like if it's a if it's a team you know you've got this guy can start or this guy can start so we had toonces
00:31:13
the cat even with Jack no intenses but yeah even just like throwing Deep Thoughts yeah which was a constant on
00:31:21
the show it's super funny that always was Mike would throw down his sprockets or and or Wayne's World you know Sandler
00:31:27
would do Opera man well you know it got Greatest Hits every show practically but anyway enough about that era
00:31:34
this is called Dana and David so I want to hear if we can tactilate you go in to
00:31:41
Rockefeller Center yes what are you feeling and do you have a private meeting with Lauren or or with the three
00:31:47
of you or what uh you mean when I got hired when you got hired first time you went and talked to Lauren they had they
00:31:53
had me and Bill fly out Bill Hader yes sorry me and Bill Hader to fly out to uh I'm told to meet with Lauren be like you auditioned twice they're interested they want you to come meet with Lauren me and
00:32:06
Bill sit next to each other on a flight from LA to New York uh Marcy Klein had already told him that
00:32:12
me and him got the show oh wow no one told me and Bill bless his heart pretended the entire flight that he didn't know so he didn't be the one to tell me he wanted me to have like my my
00:32:24
moment where I got to actually find out that's nice so the whole he makes fun of me now because we're you know we talk all the time he's like you're like oh
00:32:31
man whatever we're gonna get it I knew but um but so we get there he goes in for his
00:32:39
meeting which is just saying hi to Lauren because he knows he's got the show then I go in and I talked to Lauren you know maybe 10 minutes and it's
00:32:46
Lauren so he gives you nothing mentions nothing about anything was there anyone in the room no just me and him he never
00:32:52
stands up and leans up with him goes congratulations you've got the job literally I think a cigar are here
00:33:00
now you must do a Lauren or a Lauren Impressions oh it doesn't matter how good it is it's not good but it's it's
00:33:05
basically him being like so do you think he'd be willing to cut your hair I'm like willing to cut your hair it was
00:33:11
really crazy long I was like oh yeah I'll shave my head if you want whatever you want I was like on code but that's a very specific thing and he goes uh
00:33:19
you think you could do this you think you could live in New York and I was like oh yeah I've lived here before I've lived here for two years recently he's
00:33:25
like okay well we're gonna all go out to dinner so you should come and I was like okay and I walked out and I looked
00:33:32
around and it was like Jen and shookus were there and I was like and they were like so and I was like I don't know what
00:33:40
happened and they're like you got it they were the ones but Lord never went like we're hiring you those words never came out I never heard that yeah yeah I don't think he ever does some Lieutenant
00:33:51
comes up and yes I mean he like fell on the floor so where did you go to dinner do you remember so and how more how many
00:33:58
people were in that dinner because that's that's kind of a it might have been a big thing to be involved so it was a big one for Tuesday night dinners
00:34:04
when I was I remember we wherever we went it was in that Theater District area yeah and it was me and Bill
00:34:12
and a few other people and Conan was there at a different table and they were like oh Conan you should meet these are gonna be two new cast members and I was just like keep on freaking the [ __ ] out like my
00:34:24
life just got so cool yeah it's a cool fact doesn't go well well if it's not shitty crappy and cruddy oh yeah and
00:34:30
being all tall too so tall so Alpha dominance an animated show when you did Impressions like you said like I didn't really do Impressions too many but yeah they did they assign you
00:34:42
one or say hey can you play this or did you do Marky Mark uh that one all my Impressions happened on accident yeah
00:34:48
like I think um Emily spiving someone else were the first ones to be like oh we put you in this thing as Nick Cage
00:34:53
and I was like I don't do Nick age but so I just worked on it and it ended up being something I found out that I could
00:34:59
kind of do um and Wahlberg I was doing some bit with Jonah Hill actually we were hanging
00:35:05
out in the summertime and he's like you kind of sound like Mark Wahlberg right now and I was like ooh yeah anything to
00:35:10
get on the [ __ ] show yeah uh so I tried I tried that I wrote it with uh with steel but say hello mother for me
00:35:18
is the funniest thing to say which character says that he does Wolverine yeah he talks animals that was Steel's idea but you found you found that Rhythm that
00:35:30
that hook that yeah it's funny like obviously you're one of the greatest of all time at The Impressions and like I'm
00:35:37
close with people also who are like wig and friends I mean it's it's a whole other skill set
00:35:43
and I've never considered myself good at it but there's like a few times in my life where I have found it and I'm like oh this must be what it's like for them all the time yeah like it is really fun
00:35:54
to do hard and it becomes its own language and it becomes its own character you know well that's the thing
00:35:59
it becomes a character so it's you I know many many incredibly accurate Impressionists that aren't intrinsically
00:36:05
funny yeah but since you're a comedian when you did it it was funny and also it was accurate enough that
00:36:11
it represented Mark Wahlberg sure sure so it worked completely how many times did you do that it was kind of a hit I
00:36:17
think only twice really yeah you did it to Mark Wahlberg well he came on the show and to to basically he did a whole thing where he was like I guess they had
00:36:29
asked him about it and he said something negative and then I think him and his team were like oh we don't want people thinking I'm being too much of a bummer
00:36:36
about this so they he came on and like pretended like he was gonna kick my ass yes and it was very pleasant it was
00:36:42
totally fine it was the it was the episode that Palin was on too it was a crazy big one that's a score yeah your
00:36:48
time was pretty heady you know yeah that election year and your band mates so to
00:36:53
speak yeah it was interesting for us every election we were there for two election years I think and our joke was
00:36:59
always like oh well we're not gonna have anything on the show this year because it became so political and we just
00:37:05
didn't really engage with that we just wanted to make goofy [ __ ] um but now I think for the for everyone
00:37:12
who works there now that's just every year uh yeah it's just non-stop politics you
00:37:17
mean like it always has to be like about something and saying something and addressing what's happening there's I
00:37:24
think they have less opportunity to just do kind of weird ideas the world changed yeah and it's probably going to change
00:37:30
back I mean that's how it's historically happened I like acid humor the best I like the silliness the best if I have to
00:37:36
say Madness and coming full circle back to you [Music] so uh Lazy Sunday and the princess at
00:37:50
Narnia like are you riding that when it's coming together I'm just curious like that's your first
00:37:56
SNL is that the first one or not the first one that was the second one we had made one short that aired before that
00:38:03
called lettuce which was um no I'm kidding hey come on hey David that's kind of me he's our guest what are you talking about I know he said but that was that's part of SNL not a priest no
00:38:14
no it aired on SNL it was uh it was a will 40 idea that we did with him and we shot it on like a home home camera and
00:38:20
it aired and we were like holy [ __ ] that aired and then Lazy Sunday was the second one that aired but that wasn't until the Christmas episode of our first
00:38:28
season did you show it to Lauren when you got it completely finished no I think the first time he saw it I think
00:38:34
was a dress and I assume you you guys knew you had a hit with that no no well irresistible to me once once it aired we were like oh [ __ ]
00:38:44
this is I think people really liked it you know um the crowd liked it yeah yeah it was a
00:38:50
new feeling and you know you came out real hot I don't really remember your beginning part but I just
00:38:57
remember you thank you knowing that you were there and you were good no it was it was worked and wormed in overtime we
00:39:03
were we had been there up till Christmas to that point you know and we hadn't we had gotten stuff on and
00:39:10
we were getting along with everybody but we weren't like we're killing this you know yeah so for us it was still the
00:39:16
mentality of oh it's gonna air like it was that yeah it was still that early right they think
00:39:23
I think it's gonna air and then the crazy thing that happened with Lazy Sunday was what you brought up was it
00:39:29
all of a sudden became a news item because everyone was like there's a website called YouTube and then every
00:39:34
article about it was a picture of me and Parnell yes you kind of represented YouTube and when you do this do you say
00:39:40
the Shoemaker or someone say you should put a cast member in it with you or is that your idea uh what do you mean
00:39:48
like it's you and Chris Barr now oh yeah well in the beginning we like Kevin Norm shot one that was an
00:39:55
idea that we all had when I was I was in LA for an off week taking generals yeah
00:40:01
um time well spent take those generals generals General meetings yeah yeah and all these just generals yeah yeah I came back and they had made something and I was like oh [ __ ] it's that idea it's so
00:40:12
funny and we showed it to Shoemaker and Higgins and they were like you guys just went and made this we're like yeah and
00:40:18
they're like do stuff like this for the show but put the cast in it that was literally what they said yeah and so they'd say put the castle because you're
00:40:23
too new so did Parnell did you have to coach him at all because like if someone casts me in that I don't know how you
00:40:30
you're double tracking to get because it sounds like real rap all your stuff does to me like yeah so do you what do you
00:40:38
double track you put effects on it just has this muscularity yeah I mean we had been making songs for fun and we had
00:40:45
shot a few music videos for them that was like something we had sort of started doing before SNL
00:40:52
I mean we're like oh yeah we could try a song here that might be fun and we knew Parnell quote unquote wrapped or fresh
00:40:58
okay crafting because he used to do it on update like he did a thing I think like
00:41:04
Britney Spears one week was the musical guest and he like did a rap dedicated to Britney Spears that we thought was super
00:41:09
funny what a score for him to be in that though yeah but it was also awesome for us because he was [ __ ] hilarious yeah
00:41:16
like as soon as it starts you're like oh my God Parnell is so in he dedicates his
00:41:22
brain to it like him and Forte both have that weird like Gene of a performer where like they will never break no matter what like they're so in it yeah
00:41:33
it's like there's like a slight psychosis to it that makes you laugh so hard because you can tell they're
00:41:38
actually lunatics deep down and you love it there's something a little different yes
00:41:43
yes wrong yes had his own lane he did some brilliant yes just only he could do I would say he probably of everyone and this is saying a lot because I loved almost everyone I worked with there
00:41:57
at the table he was the person I was always the most excited to see what he was going to do because it was always so
00:42:02
weird he was so weird yeah you know the potato chip one where you came here I told him back then he goes
00:42:09
you saw the potato chip one I just watched it one night and I go yeah I you know comedians we know where all the tricks are we you know but you know to get surprised by another comedian and
00:42:21
the commitment then you have to just commit but um and you give Lauren credit for seeing a weird bit and it even bombs
00:42:28
miserably and he goes put it on yeah and it takes balls to go we're teaching the audience this is funny we're not saying
00:42:35
oh it didn't do as good you know you just go no this is what should be out uh can I Wayne's World story yeah when I I
00:42:42
sometimes do stuff that I don't explain so anyway I was doing gross making a mechanical hand I hope you've seen the
00:42:48
movie but in my in my mind the mechanical hand is going to strangle Rob Lowe yes so Rob Lowe comes in before
00:42:54
it's finished so then I I beat the [ __ ] out of it so it's laying there at the previews and I I kind of liked it
00:43:00
because it was my [ __ ] but I'm like okay I get it if you guys wanna and Lauren's like it's one of those things you know
00:43:06
like 20 years from now you're like glad it's there yeah so Lauren does have that
00:43:11
quirky side too isn't that we fear change it's that moment right yeah yeah we fear I know the film God yeah what
00:43:18
about how do you react to people coming up to you the way you would have come up to someone else you know like to come up
00:43:25
to you I can't believe I'm meeting Andy samber you know that at the airport or whatever and they're usually very sweet
00:43:32
and stuff it's it's out of Body Experience isn't it it's trippy I mean the first time it happens you're like
00:43:38
[ __ ] it I did it you know yeah yeah um and then I don't know I always just think about and I truly like you guys are on this list when I was a teenager
00:43:49
or in my early 20s if I saw someone from SNL in real life I would lose my [ __ ]
00:43:55
so I try to always remember that I felt like that and the idea that somebody could feel that way about me is super
00:44:01
exciting I never quite hate you the same way though like when I see act right or I saw Dana those guys it's never the
00:44:07
same as when people see me I go oh that's not that exciting I see these guys you know what I mean
00:44:13
you gotta remember like when it's it's whatever there's everyone says this about SNL right it's like when when kids
00:44:18
and teens are a certain age that cat you're in that pocket it's their cast and it means way more to them than even
00:44:24
the original cast which feels impossible yeah to us movies too when you 12 and 13. yeah I've seen accurate after Blues
00:44:30
Brothers and [ __ ] you yeah oh my God but dude Wayne's World and Tommy Boy are those for me way more than Blues
00:44:37
Brothers nothing against Blues Brothers those were my years where I was like holy [ __ ] I can't believe that they're
00:44:43
getting to do this and I it makes me feel like I have a place on earth like literally because you want to do that
00:44:49
stuff yeah can I still quote those movies like every week yeah I can maybe remember we've here change
00:44:59
[Laughter] oh yeah I think I told that whole Vanity Fair story because but Bieber was there I think that's what I was leading up to
00:45:10
is that right and he was wearing a blanket remember that he's wearing a poncho did you see that I wasn't there let's look at a clip
00:45:16
let's go to the phones but it wasn't really a Bieber parody but they marketed it I like Bieber parody uh I like Bieber
00:45:23
as well and we met him a bunch of times at SNL I'll say this super talent I mean obviously in that moment
00:45:31
it was like he was one of the biggest pop stars of course he still is so we're making a movie about that world so there
00:45:38
are definitely jokes in it that are inspired by him like sure and you exaggerate a situation like he's a big
00:45:44
pop star what's the funniest version of everything doesn't mean it's about Bieber correct it's about but there's
00:45:49
also a lot of stuff about a lot of other people in it too and then a lot of stuff we just kind of made up yeah I will say
00:45:54
this uh Judd who bless his heart is the reason we got to make that movie oh that's right fully produced it fully ushered it told us like hey if you guys wanted to make a movie like that I'll produce it and just gave us basically a
00:46:07
free pass to make a movie uh I think he was in line with universal more about making the marketing feel a little more bieber-leaning and we were like is this Judd he doesn't [ __ ] miss so whatever
00:46:18
you guys want to do and then we uh ate [ __ ] at the box office H ate a whole big pile of [ __ ] on a
00:46:25
movie that's that is funny though that's a very colorful way to put it um but I've been in a couple of stinkers
00:46:31
I'll tell you what it wasn't because it was the marketing or the beaver stuff it was just like people didn't want to go
00:46:36
to the theater but also but now hasn't it still sorry isn't it kind of a cult film in a way is it like the people are
00:46:42
gonna love it are gonna be quoting it and possessed by it I'm assuming I mean most of my favorite comedies didn't do
00:46:48
well in theaters most Wayne's World obviously is an exception um and you know there's exceptions
00:46:55
there's Anchorman which um that did really well but generally speaking you know like we were kind of like riding spinal taps
00:47:06
coattails and when it came out I just kept reading stuff about how when spinal tap came out it was in like six theaters
00:47:11
or something yeah there was a wet Hot American Summer there's a bunch of ones that's right geez you know my whole you
00:47:19
win uh Andy samburger is interviewing me today and we're having I was in spinal tap the mime waiter with Billy Crystal that's right wow how fun but to me that
00:47:30
movie was it to your point that was sort of like how they can make a movie like that it's like the first mock
00:47:35
documentary yes that I'd seen as like this is so cool it's one Higher what's have you watched that movie anytime recently maybe not in Alaska it's like it's crazy
00:47:47
how well it holds up like just the pace of it and it doesn't seem like it's rushing at all yeah yeah but it doesn't
00:47:54
waste a second of your time like it's just like tight bit type it type it every joke is funny and they get out and
00:48:00
it moves and the story makes sense and you actually kind of care in the end Pollock and I talked like Christopher
00:48:06
Guest for like three years yeah every time we talked to him we actually played blackjack at Harris we were playing and
00:48:11
we we just did it go I told it like this yeah I'll give you okay I'll post just take your call and you want me to take a
00:48:17
call to try to do it is real enough that they maybe believe it when I did uh Coneheads put the Applause
00:48:25
I'd ask him on spinal tap and Conan's after you know it came out was probably better than spinal tap
00:48:31
anyway opponents was great con Ed's had so many funny people in it that never just jumped well I love anything where they're called Coneheads in their heads
00:48:42
look like cones it's perfect I always like the nail on the head maybe it was two on the money I auditioned for spinal
00:48:48
tap so you might find this interesting I came into Rob Reiner and the whole cast I'm on YouTube yeah to play the drummer
00:48:55
or something great and then I go I go this is nerve-wracking you guys are all friends and I'm just walking in here I
00:49:01
was in and so they all goes oh we get that they all just immediately left the room
00:49:06
they just they just got out of the room wait I'm waiting there in five minutes and then come back in they go oh we're a
00:49:12
little nervous when you've been how long have you been in here you know right they felt sorry for me so they gave me the mime thing oh dude this guy was in
00:49:17
uh grown-ups too was I ever oh this cheerleader scene which is that was a good miracle that was a fun day that was a great thing to use guys like you where not to waste your time it's like one bit
00:49:29

00:50:35
Goofy's uh guy he's the only human you're gonna be that guy and I was like okay thanks Iron Man and then like four
00:50:41
movies later it pays off oh yeah I'm just like okay I have a story about that Dana Andy unfortunately okay um you have
00:50:49
the floor at Hotel Transylvania so do you remember this the first table read at Sony
00:50:55
yeah and Amy Pascal was there yeah and it wasn't Selena who was Mavis I truly have no idea Miley Cyrus whoa really and she was a half hour late
00:51:09
everyone was there waiting yeah and they're like and that was dead silent because you know Amy is the president of
00:51:15
Sony comes in uh okay we gotta call she's on the 405 she's getting off at Sawtelle everyone's like oh my God
00:51:23
here and it was like she comes in hey sorry and then I sits down rifles to the script like I don't
00:51:31
know if it's a cold read I was like first of all I love Miley Cyrus first of all I she's a great season too she's
00:51:37
unbelievable I just saw her do uh Like a Prayer live with her cowboy on him great singer this was just an off thing
00:51:44
because she did the table read and the movie obviously went fine yeah they got Selena
00:51:49
I don't remember that right after and uh that's so weird Miley decided not to do it or it just was not a perfect fit but
00:51:56
uh Celine is obviously unbelievable and great and she was yeah I only met her twice along the way because we don't do
00:52:02
that much you know we don't shoot them all the time I mean we've no I've never been in the room with her for anything but press we do all that I know we did
00:52:08
for us yeah we did all the Press together and it's like hey this is fun yeah this is a bunch of nice people can
00:52:13
[ __ ] didn't we go somewhere for the yes dude that was crazy the Sony like yeah
00:52:18
retreat that was nuts and then my wife and I were like oh we're gonna go to Tulum yeah so we're already here yeah you're
00:52:25
in Mexico go ahead Dana oh I just wanted it because I know we have our producer Greg Olsen
00:52:31
gave it to list a Super Fan the the huge obviously Dick in a Box because we can't
00:52:38
get through all of them but you know but Dick in a Box these are the with Justin also dancing with Beyonce oh yeah Bobby
00:52:45
Moynihan Single Ladies so if you want to talk about those quickly I mean dig in a box you have to go to Beyonce or does
00:52:51
Marcy or does someone go to her we wrote it um Me and Bobby I think I might be getting that wrong but I
00:53:01
think that was it and I think we knew Justin would was around and could do it and then I think it was Justin that went
00:53:09
and talked to Beyonce about it because we were like well he's very famous and she's very famous so that would probably go see his DM and
00:53:16
also like it's him being like I'm gonna be in a leotard like we're celebrating you whatever it is but she was delightful she's such a sweet wonderful person in my limited interaction with
00:53:29
her yeah uh but that one was that one was fun because we just were like there's no way people are gonna be mad
00:53:36
at this it's too funny that's great she rolls with it and it's all and having her in it and yes and then that's probably a blow up on video also
00:53:46
her doing that song like her performance of that song that night on the show is one of the most incredible performance
00:53:52
it's hard I mean yes and they're in like giant heels and just [ __ ] destroying like her and Prince I think are the two people one in my time there where I was like I
00:54:04
don't understand what's happening right now it's so impressive she seems like a very hard worker from like early age of like busting up and gives a hundred percent in every performance she's a
00:54:15
killer that song check on it she has so many words in it there's a couple songs where I go how does she I mean to do a
00:54:21
whole concert just so much to do and dance and sing and costumes her last album is incredible and everyone's in
00:54:27
love with her yeah um and then you know taking about say if you'd ever like to come on the podcast
00:54:32
you're always welcome obviously Everyone likes you here uh go ahead yeah Dick in a Box taking a box you know it was fine
00:54:38
we just kind of threw it through any problems with it that was the first one that went kind of uh sexual or R right
00:54:43
or that was hard because Dick in a Box was like on the edge right that sensor we did the one with Natalie Portman at
00:54:51
the end of the mother of the previous year and it was filthy but it was all bleeped but that was all it was all
00:54:57
bleeped that was all her what people really liked that what was that one it was um it was just her rapping real filthy basically she she like loved Lil Kim and
00:55:09
told us she wanted to do one and we were like okay how great yeah and you believed all the words out
00:55:14
uh yeah a lot of bleeps I mean that was the fun of getting to do so much pre-tape uh as we ended up there was not
00:55:20
a lot of bleeps before us I don't think when you do dick in a box to the audience it's it says Dick in a Box no I
00:55:27
think it was bleeped in oh no really even for that because it's live oh yeah yeah so what part is bleeped the word
00:55:34
dick yeah Dana yeah so so you can't say dick okay you can say that well couldn't
00:55:39
they be interesting dick dick in it and you wouldn't know what it meant it could be Dick Wilson well it could be dick in your pants like
00:55:45
a medical thing two things two things about the bleeps we were told that because it was
00:55:51
believed people thought it was [ __ ] even dirtier really yes which and it sounds much worse musically and then a few years later we aired the song jizz
00:56:03
in my pants with no bleeps and no anything but what's jizz yeah I'm told someday I'll find out
00:56:15
um but that one it had to air after 12 15 or something like it was like at the very end of the show huh and I think whoever was running NBC at the time was maybe like Jeff Zucker or somebody came
00:56:27
down to the show and like they had a whole conversation about it interesting basically we brought it in because we had already started doing albums at that
00:56:34
point it was from our first album and we were like hey we have this video maybe we could just play it a dress and see how it goes and then it was like oh it
00:56:40
went well and Laura was like so we should air it and they're like but can we and we're like we have a censored version which does exist where instead
00:56:48
of jizz you could just hear variations of us going it's it's a lot sillier but not as funny
00:56:54
you could have a dick in a box and also Jizz In The Box you could with the dick say more about
00:56:59
that well I'm going to show you a chart how that could work where would you hold the Box
00:57:07
depends on your age Dick in a Box was revolutionary but also uh I'm on a boat it's so dry and silly it is dry as a boat there's nothing to it but that one
00:57:19
idea what do you do on the boat I'm on a boat people being on boats there were a lot
00:57:26
of there were a lot of videos at that time where the concept of the video was just they were on a boat and they were
00:57:33
doing their song original doing good yeah yeah T-Pain was a great addition it's always fun when you just throw
00:57:39
someone in that out of the blue I think you pan over to him at the beginning like you guys yes that's a laugh and
00:57:46
then yeah that's like an old like almost like Marx Brothers yeah it's hard to get people we're
00:57:51
trying to get people her stuff back in the show and you know they don't know to last minute unless it's Geraldo Rivera they're not
00:57:57
coming oh my God I mean especially once you start going into the music world like they're on their own schedule
00:58:03
everybody in music does whatever they feel like so what about Steve Martin and he goes what about Geraldo Rivera well
00:58:09
and he goes he's circling the building anytime you say what do you do it he's circling the building
00:58:16
I've stolen that one what about Herald though well Geraldo was the one that was always circling the weekend Lauren will do that sometimes where he's just like so and so is here so put them in it and
00:58:27
you're like okay Steve's coming yeah we did a laser cats and it opens with him having dinner with Senator Dodd oh wow
00:58:34
and we were like yeah that was definitely who we were thinking for this yeah he was around yeah
00:58:42
he had Steve come in a Hollywood minute and stand behind me and just listen to it and drink sip a drink oh my God and
00:58:49
he goes I want to drink and I want to sip it with a straw and we're like okay and then he just stood me I mean Steve
00:58:54
Martin my [ __ ] hero like did he say anything after at the end he goes I did a joke about him I go he's in a new
00:59:02
movie where he thinks he's cool hey I have my shirt open I'm Matt Dillon and then he's standing behind me and then he
00:59:08
Taps me and I go oh and then he tells me to leave and then he sits down and does
00:59:13
some jokes and are they about you or just whatever guys we get it [Music] all right give something else to him I know that you love I read that you especially out of Barnhart for a great
00:59:39
day I do I do have a great day cool video it has pathos it's fun you know because you want to have a great day but he's got Coke all over my own works thank you for bringing up
00:59:51
my own works I do I am proud of that one it came together nice yeah I think it has a well it's just it steps outside all the other ones it's just so different that neighborhood and it's all beautiful yes
01:00:03
and it's and it's a different kind of song for us it was more musical style we shot down on um Commerce which is like
01:00:09
my favorite Street and yeah made it utopian yes in front of the Cherry Lane theater
01:00:15
um we've shot there a few times we shot this ahmadina John one with Fred down there too I love that street anyway wait

01:01:08
yeah that's good I'm sorry this kid just [ __ ] me in the ass I'm like a really good real show I can't believe what they get away when I
01:01:19

01:01:56
archaeologists are the biggest celebrities in the world so like there there's like a Met Gala but it's the
01:02:02
archigala uh and everyone's wondering like what museum they're gonna be hired by
01:02:07
um and it's it's super silly I made it with my buddy Neil Campbell who wrote on Brooklyn Nine-Nine and Comedy Bang Bang
01:02:13
and stuff and I've been working on it for [ __ ] two and a half years it is so long uh first season's eight and we're hoping there will be another one
01:02:24
yeah it was funny I just watched it last night and uh there's an assistant archaeologist yes Mitra jihari who's
01:02:30
super funny oh okay I was wondering who that was yeah uh do you need anything yeah if there's a season too do you need
01:02:35
any guest voices are you in are you would you guys want to do it yeah yeah if we got [ __ ] Emperor's New Groove right here
01:02:44
I can do a llama or an invisible man I think that sounds like uh the Llama is look at me and my bad self there's no touchy yeah that was one that
01:02:58
was a wrap that's a funny movie that was a great one that was that was a great comment yeah you and Warburton come on
01:03:04
it's called solid mahogany the poison Goose he and got him Eartha Kitt playing isma
01:03:12
we're so hilarious yeah you only just like shockingly funny isn't it what year did it come out took me three years 90. what do you mean three years to shoot it oh it's so hard
01:03:25
there's no cap say it again motion capture I don't know if it was smoking did you get it through a general
01:03:33
did he get it through oh I snagged it through General at Disney uh General meetings are where you go in and they tell you you're good and then nothing ever happens correct uh I had one a couple weeks ago they wanted me they
01:03:44
just wanted they just want to do you like to play twins guys you should be a movie guys in the
01:03:51
scene right yourself how would you like to clumps it the clubs but more clumps that's like the Eddie Murphy movies and you're more than one part you're
01:04:04
Clemson see what they do is they cut tape they let them do four hours of makeup change then they start the camera
01:04:09
yeah so once he did it it kind of should have been retired I think because that was then like you're just like how is
01:04:15
this possible no one understood one guy's Arsenio sometimes that's true I don't think what are the movies just to America
01:04:26
just came to me oh yeah wait so Emperor's New Groove I'll play llama and you're but the show dig man is uh it is
01:04:32
funny as [ __ ] I was just watching last night thank you come on so yeah well that's the I mean
01:04:38
not everything not everything you ever do is like we're going hard funny but this one is it's just jokes we're trying
01:04:44
to do as much and it's a good story PG-13 or a soft R it was kind of it's a little it's there's all that stuff on there everything's in but uh when it airs on
01:04:55
network it'll be bleeped the [ __ ] will be bleeped and everything else can air what is that Network being Comedy
01:05:00
Central yeah oh so because it's they've got a few in there but it's not overdone no no we try to sort of parse them out
01:05:07
no it's clever but they're a couple times I go oh this is a bad word yeah it's it's not soft and nasty um
01:05:14
but that was that was kind of the idea like we worked together you know on Brooklyn thanks yeah and we loved making
01:05:20
Brooklyn but it's NBC so there were plenty of times we were like we were like just want to make a show where we
01:05:26
don't have to just something borderline gets killed I've done that before and you go oh this isn't even we got to
01:05:32
compete out there exactly exactly very hard to argue because he does you're like who's gonna care yes our hope is
01:05:38
that we made something that people in comedy will like it they say that the half hour Show Network show is kind of
01:05:44
the best schedule for a human being well yours was even harder mine was harder than his he he did it live in a straight line you were 17 hours a week right about 16-5 and once it's like a hit and
01:05:57
everyone knows their parts too and no one's stressed you just show up smash the audience is there to love it oh yeah and you were single cameras so Will and
01:06:04
Grace got down to a science uh four day weeks three day weeks you know I worked at Radford as a PA oh yeah I worked on
01:06:10
Spin City [Applause] [Music] open your eyes by the way when I was there though it was Charlie that's actually very good it's Charlie it was Charlie Sheen it was it was post Fox so it was a different oh
01:07:09
Spin City yeah yes did you do uh the sketch hookers and blow with Charlie Sheen did I do that yeah were you in it I don't think I was in that that was Matt pee in my room it was it was a uh
01:07:21
body shop called hookers and blows spelled differently and it was Charlie Sheen was the pitch man oh my God and it
01:07:26

01:07:40
um it's like a little guy oh shy Ron you got to do with Rihanna that was the [ __ ] [ __ ] she's the coolest yeah that was
01:07:46
kind of one of the sillier things outside the coolest thing about her and her doing it is her doing it but now
01:07:53
whenever I see her which is not often she sees me and she goes Shy Ronnie yeah damn good job jealous all right wrap up well should we
01:08:09
talk about the Oscars I don't know he's just fill in the blanks that's a new game we have yeah oh [ __ ] and you
01:08:15
can always say pass okay Lauren Michaels is my dad I thought that's what everyone would say or he is kind of everybody's dad go to your room he's 13 months older than me
01:08:30
but he's like one time I was I had been doing pretty well after a couple years and I like did the bit you know where
01:08:35
you like do or you force it and you make your hands touch like he was reaching for his popcorn oh my God and you're
01:08:40
like like a meat cute kind of thing and I was like oh look at that he was like slapped my hand he went I am not your
01:08:46
friend so we always do this on the show I mean he does all the value of water everyone
01:09:00
knows that one yeah I mean he always starts things it's that thing you know because it's like that thing and like yeah
01:09:06
um it's like it's like you know it'd be better if it was like funny it'd be like a really really good show it helps with
01:09:13
my body it would help if it was good no yeah this is the last we have two weeks off it would help if it was good
01:09:19
a low note you know I know that that's all designed to relax us uh Emily Spivey I don't know if you guys know her she was a writer for a very long time on the show she just do a bit in the in the rewrite table where where's the rewrite
01:09:36
where uh the phone would ring or she'd pretend the phone ring and she'd pick it up and go hello
01:09:42
hey Lauren oh thank you oh I know I worked really hard on it I love you too it's like basically act like he was calling to give her tons of compliments because he never gives them any money
01:09:56
he'll always come when you have one line or something yeah breathtaking the one time he ever said something overtly nice about something I
01:10:09
did in front of everybody it was a great day was the oh the meeting between dress
01:10:14
and Air he was like can we like cut out of that a little faster very funny by the way and I was just like melted to a puddle
01:10:22
and I was like God why does he have so much power over us well you know we've seen everybody exactly every American sketch player and everything he knows every move somewhat
01:10:35
equal to all those people that have been there before yes and believe me and December was very very I got to go I
01:10:43
can't uh I can't answer any of my my own questions anymore um about you that I answered fill in the
01:10:49
blank I'm really bugged by um bugs that's the right answer my dream job is I I have it wow yeah
01:11:02
positivity I it's not a bit like I can't believe it since I did a Corona commercial with foreign Snoop yeah Snoop Dogg I'll tell you one
01:11:14
thing about those commercials when you do them you're like oh it's [ __ ] Snoop these are funny this is gonna be great and then you don't realize they're
01:11:20
gonna air them seven and seven billion times and like make people hate you even if they like it the first hundred times but that's I guess that's I should have known they're well no what would you
01:11:31
like monies right at the end you're with him and then there's something right at the end you do a little eyebrow thing or
01:11:37
something I'm sure I've seen it well I did a few of them yeah there's more coming by the way I know I know it's
01:11:43
sold out so many commercials emergencies I regretted to this day did you did in Commerce now is cool Ryan Reynolds just made 200 million off
01:11:56
something gin products she makes so much money yeah they can't stop either there's nothing wrong with that all that
01:12:01
means is freedom to do what you want it is annoying that he's making so much money and he's good yeah
01:12:08
you wish he sucked a little bit Yeah but instead he's like he's an advertising company a management company he's got a phone company and his movies are all big and you want to watch Northern California I know he's good but uh
