00:00:37
say [ __ ] and he wants to make you laugh
00:00:38
and he wants to be liked and some of
00:00:40
it's very rough and uh if you know it's
00:00:44
coming, it's a little easier. and we
00:00:45
cracked up
00:00:46

00:00:49
as if to portend some sort of
00:00:54
something, you know. And we had a we
00:00:56
have a bowl of or a plate of bottles of
00:00:59
water and then at some point he just
00:01:02
does a full Chevy chase. He goes to
00:01:04
reach for the water and all goes flying.
00:01:05
So he's operating at all cylinders. And
00:01:08
yeah, we got used to the roasty part of
00:01:11
Chave Chase. And so toward the end,
00:01:13
you'll you'll hear him say, "Well, I've
00:01:15
had a much bigger career than you guys."
00:01:16
We both go, "Of course, of course." And
00:01:19
he really smiled. So he's roasting us
00:01:21
the whole time, but after the podcast
00:01:23
when the cameras weren't on or with the
00:01:25
mics,
00:01:26

00:01:28
to me." And his wife was there and his
00:01:30
daughter and he just had had that health

but I don't even know who that guy is.
00:05:56
You know, but you introduced me to Mike

00:06:20
>> that guy Mart McCartney I just want to
00:06:23
see if you remember what Whitney said.
00:06:24
So McCartney's kind of sheepishly plays
00:06:27
a song that is not out. He just recorded
00:06:29
it and he plays it for us and we're
00:06:31
listening to his song and then it ends
00:06:33
and there's a pause and Whitney said
00:06:35
just like this reminds me of Julian
00:06:38
Lennon
00:06:41
and Paul never forgot it.
00:06:44
That's one of you.
00:06:45
>> Julian. Julian Lennon to say that to
00:06:48
Paul. That's all I got.
00:06:50
>> Is there Kleenex or something in here?
00:06:52
What is that? That's supposed to be the
00:06:54
name of the thing.
00:06:55
>> Would you like a tack?
00:06:56
>> It's supposed to be the name of the
00:06:57
show, but it's like it looks like a
00:06:59
lunch box.
00:07:00
>> No. Why? Am I breathing?
00:07:02
>> No, not at all. I just feel like you're
00:07:03
good with props.
00:07:05
>> Here's the keys to the uh to the cellar.
00:07:07
As a prop guy,
00:07:09
that's where I keep her.
00:07:11
>> What's this one? the key to where I keep
00:07:13
where I keep the people.
00:07:15
>> You know, I
00:07:18
I'm sorry. Look, there's no chance that
00:07:20
you're going to speak. This guy's
00:07:23
unfucking believable.
00:07:25
>> I I we planned that I would start it,
00:07:27
but I'm going to be very quiet right
00:07:29

brighter.

>> What? Yeah.
00:21:26
>> Well, you know, it was it was a hit, but

>> Chevy holder.
00:21:51
>> Well, it's three guys, different uh
00:21:53
senses of humor jammed in a movie. It's
00:21:55
got to take some finessing to make it
00:21:56
work. It worked great. Uh
00:21:57
>> it was amazing. Remember your chapstick
00:21:59
moment? That was on the horse.
00:22:02
>> Yeah.
00:22:02
>> You made winged.
00:22:04

>> My horse
00:22:26
is hideous.
00:22:27
>> Yeah, it's great. Like a silent film.
00:22:29
>> I love that scene. But uh I think oh one
00:22:33
of my favorite things is
00:22:36
Do you have anything uh do you have
00:22:38
anything besides Mexican food
00:22:41
in the restaurant in Santa PO where the
00:22:44
[ __ ] we were?
00:22:46
>> Where were you? Where did you shoot it?
00:22:48
>> Um
00:22:49
>> in Mexico? I don't know.
00:22:51
>> Mexico.
00:22:51
>> Arizona. Oh, in Mexico.
00:22:53
>> No, New Mexico.
00:22:54
>> Oh, thank God.
00:22:55
>> Oh, there you are.
00:22:56
>> Yeah.
00:22:57
>> Only you would know that, sweetie. my
00:23:00
wife Jamie Chase.
00:23:01
>> We're turning it into the interview with
00:23:02
her
00:23:03
>> because she's fun to we haven't had a
00:23:05
clear answer who can speak truth to
00:23:07
power about everything. I remember
00:23:09
Lauren saying I think it was John
00:23:11
Landis. He was like frustrated with the
00:23:13
cut
00:23:14
>> and he always refers to comedians as the
00:23:16
monkeys. It's great to shoot all the
00:23:17
towns people but you should really spend
00:23:19
some time on the monkeys and that was
00:23:22
you three. But that's he says that to
00:23:24
all of us.
00:23:24
>> Oh, we're the monkeys.
00:23:27
>> Here's something that Lauren said. said
00:23:28
monkeys.
00:23:29
>> Did Lauren ever say this to you, Chvy?
00:23:30
Because Lauren has a way of like taking
00:23:32
big issues and making them you about
00:23:34
funny people and there's funny people
00:23:36
and he he says there's only 900 of us on
00:23:39
the planet
00:23:40
>> and it was like a perfect I know it was
00:23:43
such a funny specific number that I kind
00:23:45
of went is figure did he figure it out?
00:23:48
Uh there's three in Portugal. Uh there's
00:23:51
seven in less in Russia. Uh, Ukraine has
00:23:55
maybe a mime. No, because the president
00:23:58
is is a monkey.
00:24:00
>> That's right.
00:24:00
>> Oh, you mean a comedian, right? Okay.
00:24:02
Sorry. We love Lauren.
00:24:04
>> I don't want to do anymore. You're too
00:24:06
funny.
00:24:06
>> No, you're making me funny cuz you're
00:24:09
funny.
00:24:10

00:24:30
Python movie? If so, which one?
00:24:32
>> Good.
00:24:34
>> I did.
00:24:35
>> Would you suck your straw again? That
00:24:36
that way?
00:24:37
>> I know. I'm trying to get everyone
00:24:38
worked up because Chevy's not wearing
00:24:40
any pants.
00:24:42
>> Oh [ __ ] you're right.

00:25:06
>> See, that's me.
00:25:07

>> You are legendary. And I told him when
00:25:25
we came through the door that it was
00:25:27
>> Does this bother you?
00:25:30
>> Chevy has his face on the side of the
00:25:32
mic. Chevy's doing a handstand.
00:25:36
>> I'm loving this. Hosted SNL eight times
00:25:39

>> You didn't [ __ ] Wikipedia five.
00:25:46
You're the
00:25:46
>> No, I'll tell you why.
00:25:48
>> Okay.
00:25:48
>> Because Lauren, that prick
00:25:52
Lauren, I I I needed to host it. I
00:25:56
hadn't been seen much. And uh you know,
00:25:59
I was getting closer to death.
00:26:01
>> Sure.
00:26:01
>> And um
00:26:02
>> Are you alive?
00:26:04
>> No.
00:26:06
>> And uh this is a hologram.
00:26:08
>> I asked him, he said, "Chvy, you've
00:26:10
hosted it five times." Like
00:26:13
>> like that's enough. Well, [ __ ] you in
00:26:14
your big mouth. I mean, what? You know,
00:26:17

00:26:19
>> Keep going. Yeah.
00:26:20
>> And you st you stalled out.
00:26:22
>> That was it.

>> And now you're in the five-timers club.
00:26:25
>> Yep.
00:26:25
>> I've only hosted at three, David.
00:26:28
>> Two.
00:26:28
>> Two. There's no club for us.
00:26:30
>> Well, that's five together if you do.
00:26:32
>> We We should come together. That'll be
00:26:34
the next stick on the 50th. Chevy is a
00:26:37
first ballot hall of famer,
00:26:39
>> but I'm going to try to get
00:26:40
>> you start as your start with Dan Akroy.
00:26:43
>> It means on SNL you're just obviously
00:26:45
right in the Hall of Fame of SNL no
00:26:47
matter what.
00:26:48
>> What do you think in sports? Do you like
00:26:49
sports, Chevy?
00:26:50
>> Huh?
00:26:50
>> We think of sports metaphors. You like
00:26:52
sports?

>> Are you a sports coach?
00:26:53
>> Like what? You're my starting fight.
00:26:55

>> Sports.
00:26:57
>> Janie,
00:26:57

>> Maybe Janie should pull up a chair and
00:27:00
just sort of
00:27:01
>> another way to put it.
00:27:02
>> You want to get Janie down here? If
00:27:04
you're creating a sketch team for for a
00:27:06
television show, I would start with you.
00:27:09
>> Yeah.
00:27:10
>> At Update and I would put Dan Akroyd in
00:27:12
there and Bill Murray and basically the
00:27:15
whole first cast.
00:27:16
>> Yeah. It's hard to
00:27:17
>> Well, he wasn't in the first Billy.
00:27:19
>> Billy came a little later
00:27:22
years.
00:27:22
>> I think he's from
00:27:23
>> He was in Chicago killing people.
00:27:25
>> Oh, he right. Billy cuz you're both 6'4.
00:27:28
Lauren, we'd like someone as tall as
00:27:30
Chvy. And then they brought in Bill.
00:27:32
You're both giants.
00:27:33
>> Yeah.
00:27:34
>> Now, Gilder Rner, she's just a magic
00:27:37
person on camera.
00:27:38
>> I know. Is she still around?
00:27:42
>> That's all right. It's okay.
00:27:43
>> Come on. It's pretty bad. It's pretty
00:27:45
bad.
00:27:46
>> No, I I love I've said things privately
00:27:49
that would make your
00:27:52
>> Apparently, I'm not being private.
00:27:54
>> Exactly.
00:27:54
>> This is going This is our first live
00:27:57
podcast. It's all over Europe and
00:27:59
everything's out there. No, anything can
00:28:01
be cut. So you can say anything.
00:28:02
>> Yeah. Who do Who are your favorite SNL
00:28:04
people? Do you over the years? I know

>> that was a tough one.
00:28:23
>> Um,
00:28:25
you Janie and I were in our house out
00:28:28
here.
00:28:28
>> Yes. an earlier house.
00:28:30
>> Mhm.
00:28:31
>> It was on the door and you know, you're
00:28:35
not supposed to really actually get into
00:28:37
the area because other people live here.
00:28:40
Anyway, um I open the door and there's
00:28:44
like eight journalists.
00:28:49
>> Jeffy, what do you think about John
00:28:50
dying? I mean,
00:28:52
>> no,
00:28:52
>> it was hideous.
00:28:53
>> Yeah,
00:28:53
>> that's how you found out.
00:28:54
>> I said, great. No. Um I I it literally
00:28:59
just blew our minds to hear.
00:29:02
>> On the other hand, it wasn't that
00:29:03
surprising given his uh proclivities and
00:29:06
and may I say propensities and now
00:29:10
>> um
00:29:10
>> pigtail
00:29:11
>> and peculiar picadillos. I was trying to
00:29:15
think words.
00:29:16
>> Piccadillo.
00:29:16
>> Piccadillos.
00:29:17
>> Piccadillos.
00:29:18
>> Yes. Well, we're a family on Saturday

Night Live. We're all connected. And uh
00:29:24
>> don't you wish
00:29:26
>> I'm I'm not that I was looking, but what
00:29:30
is your what is your what is your rank
00:29:33
on the alltime? Are you on the top five?
00:29:36
Like Rolling Stone did something. Did
00:29:38
you check your number? I think I was
00:29:39
nine.
00:29:40
>> I think I was 10.
00:29:41
>> 10 right behind me.
00:29:42
>> I think you [ __ ] way this little
00:29:44
>> Write that down.
00:29:46
>> Wait a minute. Was I Jamie? Do we
00:29:48
remember seeing this?
00:29:49
>> We don't read.
00:29:49
>> There were lots of polls. That was just
00:29:51
I remember Steve Martin saying they just
00:29:52
throw it up against the wall.
00:29:54
>> I think Yon Wy was two.
00:29:56
>> They also do polls with some people out
00:29:59
of order so people argue about it.
00:30:01
>> Okay.
00:30:02
>> That's what I found in my travels. Oh,
00:30:03
yeah. I got a question for Chedd.
00:30:05
>> Oh, you do this both of you, right?
00:30:07
>> We do.
00:30:07
>> I keep thinking I have hair.
00:30:10
>> You keep rubbing it.
00:30:12
>> Well,
00:30:12
>> wait a minute.
00:30:13
>> It's starting to come in. I dropped my
00:30:15
you.
00:30:18
>> No, this morning I was in the bathroom
00:30:20
doing this
00:30:22
>> and I'm showing Jamie this is what I do.
00:30:26
>> Just balance it. That's not a bad idea.
00:30:28
>> Once but
00:30:29
>> now you're moving.
00:30:30
>> Well, that's what Jerry Seinfeld said
00:30:32
said to Lauren. He goes I had hair when
00:30:34
I needed it like during the sitcom and
00:30:36
then he lost it all not lost it
00:30:38
basically at 50 but as soon when he was
00:30:40
on the sitcom I had it when he needed
00:30:41
it. when you were you had you had it
00:30:43
when you needed it.
00:30:44
>> I got it. I got it. But uh what's he
00:30:46
doing now? Cherry Santel
00:30:48
>> counting his money.
00:30:50
>> No,
00:30:52
he likes to do standup. He He's He
00:30:55
worked on a pop-tart bit for 5 years and
00:30:57
now he's making an animated. I'm not
00:30:59
kidding.
00:31:00
>> I I believe
00:31:01
>> he is the most scientific. Uh and uh if
00:31:04
he if you're around him and he hasn't
00:31:06
done his hour alone in a room with his
00:31:08
comedy notes, he starts getting anxious.
00:31:11
Really?
00:31:11
>> I've got to get to my notes.
00:31:12
>> I hope he's not listening.
00:31:14
>> It took him a while to crack this.
00:31:17
>> He's one of the best. He
00:31:18
>> cracked the code. I'm sure now he's one
00:31:20
of the best.
00:31:22
>> No, Jerry's one of the best. I saw him
00:31:24
two weeks ago. We were at the improv and
00:31:26
uh he came in did a set great wall to
00:31:28
wall. He goes, "I'm trying new stuff and
00:31:30
didn't seem new. It was so good." He's
00:31:32
he knows.
00:31:32
>> Yeah. Well said.
00:31:34
>> Yeah. Chvy, we can take Don't worry, my
00:31:36
parts will be cut out later.
00:31:37
>> Like Julian Lennon.
00:31:38
>> No, this is a compliment. You were on
00:31:39
the Tonight Show, huge star, and then
00:31:42
you were uh maybe you guest hosted.
00:31:44
Would you ever want to have been the
00:31:45
host of the Tonight Show after Johnny
00:31:47
left or No.
00:31:48
>> Oh, no.
00:31:49
>> Because they said that you were one of
00:31:50
their favorite.
00:31:51
>> No, I think people wrote that.
00:31:53
>> Mhm.
00:31:54
>> Um,
00:31:56
let me just think of who wrote it
00:31:57
>> and then people like me read it.
00:31:59
>> Truman Capot.
00:32:00
>> [ __ ] I can't remember.
00:32:01
>> It was Capot. It would,
00:32:03
>> oh, NBC executives referred to you as
00:32:05
the the first potential successor, but
00:32:08
it seems like you were doing so many
00:32:09
movies, you wouldn't want to do that.
00:32:10
Like, of course, but that was a huge
00:32:12
compliment to say you'd be the best to
00:32:15
take over,
00:32:16
>> I guess. So, who said it?
00:32:18
>> I'm just making [ __ ] up.
00:32:20
>> Thank you. Thank you very much. You are
00:32:22
correct.
00:32:23
>> Can you do Ed, too?
00:32:24
>> Uh, no.
00:32:26
>> No. Not really. Phil Hartman, R. Dan
00:32:29
Akroyd did the best. He did. He did a
00:32:31
good ad.
00:32:32
>> He did a great ad. And every time he
00:32:34
spoke, it was funny.
00:32:36
>> And Johnny just set him up, you know.
00:32:37
>> Oh god.
00:32:38
>> And because Johnny's references were not
00:32:40
very current. Reminds me of the old uh
00:32:43
pel cigarettes. Old reference lost on
00:32:46
younger.
00:32:46
>> Oh, pel.
00:32:48
>> Pel reminds me of the old pel
00:32:50
cigarettes.
00:32:52
>> Just make that up now.
00:32:53
>> Yeah.
00:32:54
>> Do you like him?
00:32:55
>> I like Dana. I like David.
00:32:57
>> I like you, Chvy,
00:32:58
>> more than I like David at this point.
00:33:00
We're trying to win you over, but we're
00:33:01
running out of time.
00:33:02
>> No, we've won. He's won me over. You
00:33:04
hosted the Academy Awards twice.
00:33:07
>> Yeah.
00:33:08
>> Lot of work or fun.
00:33:11

00:33:35
that they won't get their lines right
00:33:36
that are right there [ __ ] right in
00:33:38
the and uh
00:33:40
>> for me I don't have to have that. I just
00:33:42
uh
00:33:43
>> I just have to be me as it were. I I
00:33:46
think the very first one I hosted
00:33:49
Jack Nicholson was in the front row.
00:33:51
>> Yeah. Yeah.
00:33:53
>> And first
00:33:54
What' you say

00:34:31
>> Love is that brilliant.
00:34:33
>> Anything.
00:34:34
>> No, they had that famous sketch.
00:34:37
Well, that was first year famous sketch
00:34:39

00:34:47

00:34:49
say anything else. Uh okay.
00:34:51
>> Thanks a lot, tick face. Well, I said it
00:34:53

it more because we have editing
00:34:56
capabilities at all times.
00:34:58
>> Ticks on his face.
00:34:59
>> Ticks on his
00:34:59
>> No, don't look at your watch, Chevy.
00:35:01
>> I thought he was coming down to see.
00:35:03
>> No, you have three and a half.
00:35:04
>> I can tell a Richard Prior story, but I
00:35:05
don't know if I want to take Chvy from
00:35:07
moving.
00:35:07
>> Do do I Okay, I'll say as fast as I can.
00:35:10
I was
00:35:10
>> I read from moving, by the way.
00:35:11
>> No, I Yeah, before that I was a waiter
00:35:14
at the Holiday Inn and I waited on
00:35:16
Richard Prior. Yeah.
00:35:17
>> Because he was playing this theater and
00:35:19
I brought him a Denver omelette and when
00:35:20
I took it away I was very nervous. He
00:35:22
looked at me and said, "Whoever made
00:35:24
that omelette can suck my dick." And I
00:35:28
never knew if that was a positive or a
00:35:30
negative. You know, it could have gone
00:35:32
either way. 10 years later, I'm in a
00:35:35
movie with Richard moving and I had to
00:35:37
know. So, at lunchtime, I'm sitting next
00:35:39
to Richard. I took a bite of a
00:35:40
cheeseburger and I said, "Whoever made
00:35:42
this cheeseburger can suck my dick." And
00:35:44
he goes, "You must like that
00:35:46
cheeseburger."
00:35:47
>> Oh, boy.
00:35:48
>> That's That was the Richard Prior bit.
00:35:50
>> I like it. Yeah, there's a little math
00:35:52
to it.
00:35:53
>> I mean, I'm sorry, but you should work
00:35:54
on the voice for Richard.
00:35:56
>> Well, I I haven't done it in a while. I
00:35:58
It's a substitute voice for now. Hi, I'm
00:36:01
Richard Prow.
00:36:02

00:36:48
>> Cool.
00:36:49
>> And was on um
00:36:50
>> Cool. Well, I'm just I'm channeling you
00:36:52
now. I never noticed.
00:36:54
>> Basically, the he was rather out of it
00:36:57
for a while. And
00:36:58
>> so he lost some some memories. They're
00:37:02
kind of coming back, but you know,
00:37:04
things like when you ask
00:37:06
>> Why don't you share this with them
00:37:07
>> in the in the radio world?
00:37:09
>> I It seems like your memory is pretty
00:37:11
pretty come back at this point to me.
00:37:13
Yeah. Oh, yeah. And better, but just so
00:37:16
you know,
00:37:16
>> I'm sorry about heart failure.
00:37:19
>> I'm here with David Spade and Dana
00:37:20
Andrews.
00:37:21
>> All right. Well, Dane Andrews, I was
00:37:23
named after him.
00:37:24
>> Well, you were.
00:37:25
>> Yeah.
00:37:25
>> Oh, God.
00:37:27
>> Oh, so Richard.
00:37:28
>> Yes.
00:37:28
>> Um,
00:37:29
>> see,
00:37:29
>> he he's trying to He's trying
00:37:31
>> He got us back on track. Look at that.
00:37:33
>> Yeah. He's trying to um uh compare white
00:37:38
people and black people, you know, like
00:37:39
his stand up. And he he says, "You know,
00:37:42
white people get all like that if they
00:37:45
see a snake. They get all frightened and
00:37:47
they jump away.
00:37:48
>> Black people just go snake."
00:37:53
>> It was great.
00:37:55
>> Well, it's just his timing.
00:37:56
>> Snake.
00:37:57
>> Yeah, he's the he's I love him.
00:37:59
>> He's the best standup.
00:38:00
>> Yeah,
00:38:01
>> I think his Long Beach special was just
00:38:03
phenomenal. Anyway,
00:38:06
>> um David, any favorite? Uh, you're
00:38:09
friends with Norm. You were friends with
00:38:10
Norm McDonald.
00:38:11
>> Yeah,
00:38:12
>> he's a good update guy. He was great,
00:38:14
right?
00:38:14
>> Oh, he's just great. Yeah.
00:38:16
>> Yeah, he does great.
00:38:17
>> I thought he did it. Yeah. I didn't
00:38:19
think anybody else did it very well, but
00:38:22
I thought he did brilliant.
00:38:24
>> Yeah, he pushed it pretty far.
00:38:25
>> He just went right for the dirt.
00:38:27
>> Yeah, he went for the jugular every
00:38:28
time, which
00:38:29
>> No, there weren't any. It's like I did
00:38:31
it because I was interested in politics.
00:38:34
I read the New York Times, you know. Not
00:38:36
him. He just he just goes and just
00:38:39
throws a like a dirty word in there or
00:38:41
something. It's
00:38:42
>> Oh, this is very
00:38:46
>> Yeah, he did a lot of that OJ stuff. You
00:38:48
have a classic Norm.
00:38:49
>> Oh,
00:38:50
>> it was always some turn by Norm, but he
00:38:53
probably was influenced by by you as far
00:38:55
as being
00:38:56
>> sure everybody
00:38:57
>> dangerous or being edgy or
00:38:59
>> I don't think so. I don't know. Well,
00:39:00
after you doing update, that's not the
00:39:03
one to beat, but it's like that's so
00:39:04
good. you go, how do I do it where I
00:39:07
don't look I don't look so pale in
00:39:09
comparison?
00:39:09
>> Well, it was the first one, so people do
00:39:12
compare that.
00:39:13
>> Yeah.
00:39:13
>> And Yeah, but you know, really
00:39:16
the best by far. Thank you.
00:39:18
>> Yeah.
00:39:20
>> Was that our best question?
00:39:21
>> I'll tell you I'll tell you the quick
00:39:23
joke I heard from Norm on
00:39:24
>> Norm is always fun with
00:39:25
>> this Norm joke where he goes, "My wife,
00:39:28
first of all, he's not married. My wife
00:39:30
uh was in a coma and I I'm waiting in
00:39:32
the waiting room. The doctor's in a
00:39:33
coma. This is Norm's fake wife. Yeah. He
00:39:36
goes, "I like your good audience in a
00:39:37
coma."
00:39:37
>> You did say coma, didn't you?
00:39:38
>> Yeah. So, the wife's in a coma. The
00:39:40
doctor says, Norm goes, "Anything I can
00:39:43
do?" And he goes, "Well, we found an
00:39:46
unorthodox way, some way to get her
00:39:48
awake. Uh, uh, oral sex might help." And
00:39:52
he goes, "Oh, yeah." And he goes, "Well,
00:39:54
if you want to." And he goes, "Yeah,
00:39:55
I'll do it." So, he goes in there and he
00:39:57
comes out. He goes, "Doc, it's been 5
00:39:59
minutes and she's choking."
00:40:06
That's norm.
00:40:08
Yeah. I think he told that like Conan.
00:40:10
Everyone's like, "Oh jeez, you know,
00:40:11
that guy
00:40:12
>> Conan just uh
00:40:14
>> Okay, nextan.
00:40:16
>> Is that the redheaded guy?"
00:40:17
>> Yes.
00:40:17
>> He's very He's very ginger and he's very
00:40:20
tall.
00:40:20
>> You he Yeah, he is tall. You're right.
00:40:23
>> Hi, Conan. How are you?
00:40:25
>> Oh, he's shorter than you. No,
00:40:27
>> I have no say.
00:40:28
>> I have no idea.
00:40:29
>> Look at Dana and I are fighting it out
00:40:31
down here at 5.
00:40:32
>> Sorry, my wife.
00:40:35
>> Divorce me.
00:40:38
>> She's like, I did. You forgot.
00:40:40
>> Flying the wall is taking a taken a turn
00:40:43
for this is very interesting.
00:40:45
>> She's taking a turn.
00:40:47
>> Janie, his wife, and now he are engaging
00:40:50
in friendly romantic banter.
00:40:58
I got a real question. Did you ever
00:40:59
write a script? You're a very funny guy.
00:41:00
Did you ever just write a whole one?
00:41:02
>> No.
00:41:03
>> Okay. Dad,
00:41:04
>> I wrote many um beginnings and stuff,
00:41:08
you know,
00:41:09
>> and thoughts. Lots of I got a lot. I
00:41:11
wrote every day, but I just couldn't
00:41:14
bring myself to writing a whole script.
00:41:16
>> You probably punch up a lot on the set,
00:41:17
though, or add jokes. That's probably
00:41:20
>> What did you say? I said you probably
00:41:21
punch up when you're on a
00:41:23
>> when you're filming on Ask him if he
00:41:25
punches up.
00:41:26
>> You probably improvise a lot, punch up
00:41:28
stuff a lot. They probably give you the
00:41:29
script ahead of time like Fletch and you
00:41:31
go, "Not that. I'll do this." That's
00:41:33
what I'm assuming.
00:41:34
>> Okay, good. Good assumption.
00:41:36
>> You might be a genius. I'm not the
00:41:38
>> I don't think so.
00:41:40
>> It's possible though. I know.
00:41:42
>> Yeah.
00:41:42
>> How long of a shoot was uh how long was
00:41:45
Catty Shack? Everyone's favorite movie
00:41:47
from growing up.
00:41:47
>> How long was it?
00:41:48
>> How long take you guys? Just was it a
00:41:50
short three or four weeks?
00:41:52
>> What the How long you shot when you shot
00:41:54
it? Yeah, when you shot it.
00:41:54
>> Oh. Oh,
00:41:55
>> cuz I was going to say about an hour and
00:41:57
a half.
00:41:57
>> Yeah.
00:42:00
>> You know what's funny?
00:42:01
>> How long was Katty Shack? Thank you,
00:42:03
Dave.
00:42:03
>> No. What is the running time of Fletch?
00:42:06
These are my questions.
00:42:06
>> Um, he's a he was a chess champion. He's
00:42:09
into numbers.
00:42:11
>> This guy was he was an actual state
00:42:12
chess champion.
00:42:13
>> Is that true?
00:42:14
>> I was, but the smartness has gone away.
00:42:17
Uh, king to pawns, knight four, whatever
00:42:19
it is.
00:42:20
>> What do the pawns do?
00:42:22
>> Uh, the pawn. That's a great question.
00:42:24
>> That's like David and I here right now.
00:42:26
Um,
00:42:26
>> okay. Excellent.
00:42:28
>> Can I give you a compliment or or a as a
00:42:31
question?
00:42:31
>> Are you kidding? I can't wait. Cannot
00:42:34
wait.
00:42:34
>> I always tell people about because I was
00:42:37
I was watching K Cadishak
00:42:40
>> and so you and Billy Murray are doing a
00:42:42
thing where you're golfing I think going
00:42:44
through the thing. Bill Murray is in his
00:42:46
gopher guy. He's got the funny mouth.
00:42:48
He's got the overtly
00:42:49
>> You have a fool, don't you?
00:42:50
>> Funny character, right?
00:42:52
>> You play it so Buster Keat, your face is
00:42:55
so straight that you more than hold your
00:42:58
own in that scene. And I always go cuz
00:43:01
I'm always out there dancing and mugging
00:43:02
and pushing. You just went nothing and
00:43:05
created this incredible comedic dance
00:43:08
with Bill Murray. Now you talk.
00:43:09
>> Go.
00:43:11
>> Go. Chvy is wiping a tear.
00:43:16
No, but did people mention that scene in
00:43:18
your style of silent film comedy when
00:43:21
you want to do it?
00:43:22
>> Well, we did wing the We did wing it, by
00:43:24
the way. It It was in Bill's caddy
00:43:27
shack.
00:43:28
>> Yeah. Oh, that one. Yeah. When we first
00:43:30
shot uh first shot it when we were ready
00:43:34
to go, Bill had put on the wall there
00:43:38
like eight pictures of naked women like
00:43:42
with their legs spread, you know, from
00:43:44
Hustler or something. And you know,
00:43:47
Lander said, "I don't no, I don't think
00:43:49
so." And so Bill just collected them
00:43:52
all, just one underneath, you know, one
00:43:56
of, I don't know, a girl like this or
00:43:58
something, maybe like this. Anyway, um
00:44:02
so uh
00:44:05
we start going and we and he's just
00:44:08
trying to get me the whole time to crack
00:44:10
me up and he goes,
00:44:14
>> "You have a pool, don't you?"
00:44:17
You know,
00:44:18
>> you know,
00:44:19
>> um we have a pool and a pond. Pond would
00:44:22
be good for you.
00:44:23
>> Yeah.
00:44:24
>> And if you look at this film, he never
00:44:27
cracks, right? In that one, he went
00:44:30
>> just a little bit.
00:44:31
>> Just a teeny bit. I'm going to look at
00:44:32
that. It's a beauty. I love it.
00:44:34
>> You'll see it.
00:44:34
>> Were they were Were were that like kind
00:44:36
of a a tracking shot? How how long would
00:44:39
they let you guys go before they'd yell
00:44:41
cut? Did they just follow you?
00:44:43
>> I don't know.
00:44:44
>> It seemed very spontaneous. Uh, I think
00:44:47
the uh it couldn't have been just one
00:44:50
shot. They had to cover each other. So
00:44:52
>> I It was cut. I don't
00:44:53
>> But they're smart to keep that because
00:44:55
that's probably maybe on a wide shot or
00:44:57
maybe your side and then they just go
00:44:58
that we got to keep that one in there.
00:44:59
Yeah.
00:45:00
>> Yeah. That's great.
00:45:01
>> Wow.
00:45:01
>> Cuz what's your name again?
00:45:03

00:45:13
up too bad. Um,
00:45:15
well, I'll just do
00:45:16
>> What about dream role?
00:45:19
>> I've got your dream role. Did you ever
00:45:22

00:45:24
dramatic and try to get an Academy
00:45:25
