Chris Cuomo who's on New Newsmax now.
00:00:37
>> But he does Bill Maher. He does all and
00:00:40

00:01:07
>> Damn. I I brought a gigantic sombrero,
00:01:10
but I left it.
00:01:11
>> Do you need a hat?
00:01:12
>> No, I don't. It's just for when we do
00:01:14
our things.
00:01:14
>> Oh, right.
00:01:16
>> Chuck Baris. You're too young. Gongcha.
00:01:18
>> Yeah. Oh, no. I know Chuck Baris. Yeah.
00:01:19
>> He would randomly come out with hats and
00:01:21
not refer to them. It was
00:01:23
>> I did like that. Oh, really?
00:01:24
>> So, I was doing that. I saw you in a
00:01:27
hat, like a round circle farmer hat, and
00:01:29
I I was like, I need that because the
00:01:30
sun's really bad. And then I got one, a
00:01:33
>> [ __ ] pineapple picker hat.
00:01:34
>> I can either spend hours with greasy
00:01:38
uh sunscreen all over or I can put a
00:01:40
giant hat on. I prefer the giant hat.
00:01:42
Some people go, "No, [ __ ] the hat. I'm
00:01:44
going to grease it up for hours."
00:01:45
>> I do both.
00:01:46
>> Kyle Donigan's our guest today.
00:01:48
>> Dermatologist. That's because of the way
00:01:50
you look. I went, you know, I went to a
00:01:52
dermatologist and I looked at a thing
00:01:54
and it was
00:01:55
>> Yeah.
00:01:56
>> Because I thought this looks not great.
00:01:57
>> Are we recording?
00:01:58
>> Yeah. Light it up.
00:02:00
>> Light it up.
00:02:02
>> Dermatologist story. So, what happened?
00:02:04
>> Yeah. I think I actually focused the
00:02:05
podcast on dermatology. It's good when
00:02:07
it's about something.
00:02:09
>> So, what happened? We can always cut
00:02:10
this. I
00:02:11
>> Which means means we won't cut it.
00:02:13
>> Yeah. Go ahead.
00:02:14
>> Well, I just looked at like a little
00:02:16
mole spot and I was like, "That doesn't
00:02:18
look good." I went and the guy looked at
00:02:19
it. He's like, "You're fine." And then
00:02:22
this girl came to visit me for like a
00:02:24
weekend. I think I told you David about
00:02:26
this. And it did not work out. Like she
00:02:28
walked into my house.
00:02:29
>> I knew that was coming, but
00:02:32
>> she walked in my house.
00:02:33
>> No, he always That's how they always
00:02:34
end.
00:02:35
>> I had Yeah, it always ends like that. I
00:02:37
had this uh house and uh she walks up.
00:02:39
She goes, "Do planes always fly over
00:02:41
your house?" She immediately just had
00:02:42
all these awful things about my house.
00:02:45
>> I never noticed the planes like
00:02:47
>> But I'm I'm in the path now. I it's
00:02:49
constant. There's just planes around.
00:02:51
Anyway, she goes, I don't like the look
00:02:53
of that mole. And I was like, I checked
00:02:55
it out. I think it's okay.
00:02:56
>> Chew it off, [ __ ]
00:02:57
>> She's like, I don't think it's
00:02:58
dangerous. I just don't like the look of
00:02:59
it.
00:03:00
>> Yeah. Yeah. It was just a vanity thing.
00:03:02
>> Yeah.
00:03:03
>> So, I went But I went back and a
00:03:06
different dermatologist was like, that's
00:03:08
a problem. And cut it out. And it had
00:03:10
like
00:03:11
>> Damn,
00:03:11
>> it got caught. It was
00:03:13
>> If it wasn't for her,
00:03:14
>> the girl was the problem. Oh, I thought
00:03:16
he said cut the girl out of your life.
00:03:17
Well, I was naked on a slab and this
00:03:19
guy's going around with the eyeglass.
00:03:21
He's like 90 or something. Yeah.
00:03:23
>> And he's going around and he everything
00:03:24
he sees cuz I'm covered in stuff. He
00:03:26
goes, "Age age related."
00:03:29
>> And a woman's writing it down. Age
00:03:31
related.
00:03:32
>> Age related. Yeah. I swear to God for a
00:03:34
half hour.
00:03:36
>> Should you do anything? Nope. Age
00:03:37
related.
00:03:38
>> Sick.
00:03:39
>> That's like Billy Bob Thorne. Age
00:03:40
related.
00:03:41
>> He goes, he goes, "This doesn't look
00:03:43
like much, but you might have to remove
00:03:44
it." I go, "My wiener." And then he took
00:03:46
that monograph. He goes, "Oh, I'm sorry.
00:03:48
>> My wiener is the lady."
00:03:51
>> The greatest childlike reference to a
00:03:54
dick.
00:03:55
>> Actually, Dana, tell them when you went
00:03:56
to the masseuse, would you say?
00:03:58
>> Oh, I had this masseuse once and she'd
00:04:00
really start digging in. She'd go, she'd
00:04:01
say, "Give it. Give it. Give it. Give
00:04:04
it. Give it."
00:04:05
>> Didn't she go by your wiener and go,
00:04:06
"You hungry?" No, that was me.
00:04:09
>> That was you.
00:04:10
>> Yeah. No, I went
00:04:12
>> Irish comedians for 100. Is Dunigan
00:04:14
Irish or British? It's Irish.
00:04:16
>> Irish.
00:04:16
>> I hate her.
00:04:17
>> Yeah. So, we have the same.
00:04:18
>> I went to it. This is like a longer
00:04:20
story, but a Tony Robbins wanted me to
00:04:22
perform at his birthday party.
00:04:23
>> I had
00:04:24
>> Oh, go ahead and tell the strike cuz why
00:04:25
not? This is a great
00:04:27
>> Do you do Tony Robbins?
00:04:29
>> No, I don't. But I tried to get one for
00:04:31
the thing. But I was excited cuz like I
00:04:33
like Tony Robbins. I read like three
00:04:35
books in my life. Two Tony Robbins. Me,
00:04:38
too.
00:04:38
>> So, I was excited. I was nervous because
00:04:40
they were paying me more money than I've
00:04:42
ever been paid for anything in my life.
00:04:44
$750.
00:04:45
>> No. Higher.
00:04:46
>> I turned them down. I know you got
00:04:48
>> I won't say what it is, but it was more
00:04:50
than,000.
00:04:51
>> Tony does not Tony.
00:04:52
>> It was $24,000. More than $1,000. What
00:04:55
do you
00:04:57
>> It was $25,000. That's great. Yeah.
00:04:59
>> It's that's that's wonderful.
00:05:01
>> Well, yeah. So, it's very
00:05:02
>> That's an adorable number.
00:05:04
>> I know to you guys.
00:05:06
>> No, we don't get it. He's money bags
00:05:08
here. Think about where you are and
00:05:09
think of who owns this place.
00:05:11
>> No, I know. Cooling this house is
00:05:12
$25,000. All right. Tony Robbins tried
00:05:15
to beat you up. Got you in a head.
00:05:16
>> We'll let you get through the story.
00:05:17
Hopefully, we probably won't.
00:05:18
>> I was nervous and I thought, hey, Tony
00:05:20
would say, "Take care, you know, take
00:05:21
care of yourself, little buddy." People
00:05:23
don't know Tony, he's like 9t tall.
00:05:25
>> Yeah.
00:05:25
>> He has actually a tumor on his pituitary
00:05:27
gland and it's pumping out um growth
00:05:30
hormones. That's why he's so big.
00:05:32
>> He's grown a foot and a half in the last
00:05:34
18 months.
00:05:35
>> Yeah. He's been
00:05:36
>> I mean, when he was a kid, they asked if
00:05:37
he wanted to take it out and he was
00:05:39
like, "No, I want to be enormous." Like,
00:05:41
he could have taken it out. He didn't.
00:05:42
Is that true?
00:05:43
>> That's a true story. Yeah.
00:05:44
>> Oh my god.
00:05:45
>> He is enormous.
00:05:48
>> He worked.
00:05:49
>> It did. Yeah. He really stands out.
00:05:51
>> Yeah.
00:05:52
>> He like put I don't if you see the
00:05:53
documentary, but he puts his hand on
00:05:55
someone's head and it's like a giant
00:05:56
catcher mint just envelops the whole
00:05:58
guy's head.
00:05:59
>> All right, I'm getting to the cuz you're
00:06:01
a bunch of [ __ ] losers.
00:06:02
>> I don't care. I like you little piece of
00:06:04

00:06:05
>> Yeah, he's a therapist that swears.
00:06:07
>> Yeah, he yells. He's scary.
00:06:08
>> Yeah, go ahead. I'm getting com. So, I
00:06:10
was like, I'm going to go take care of
00:06:11
myself and and get a massage. I never do
00:06:14
that. So, I went to this place and I
00:06:15
don't want a hand job, but I I know
00:06:17
about the
00:06:18
>> one of those happy ending.
00:06:20
>> Yeah.
00:06:20
>> David's never heard of those.
00:06:22
>> No.
00:06:22
>> Yeah.
00:06:23
>> But the the whole point of going there
00:06:25
is to feel better about myself, you
00:06:26
know? I don't want to walk. I want to,
00:06:28
you know, don't want to have like
00:06:30
>> have hand jobs. So, I'm like, what? How
00:06:32
do I look like I don't want a hand job?
00:06:33
So, I take off my baseball hat cuz guys
00:06:35
in baseball hats look like they want
00:06:37
jobs.
00:06:37
>> Suspicious.
00:06:38
>> You know what I mean? take off the cap.
00:06:40
>> Yeah. I'm not taking David once again.
00:06:41
>> No. Check. I like it.
00:06:43
>> So, I take that off and I kind of go in
00:06:45
jolly, you know.
00:06:46
>> Yeah. Rather than
00:06:47
>> instead of like silky serious looking
00:06:50
around,
00:06:50
>> slinking in 15 minutes shame. Yeah.
00:06:53
>> And she gives me a good back massage.
00:06:55
She flips me over. She starts doing a
00:06:56
little tickly on the stomach. I'm like,
00:06:58
"Oh, this is like going down that hand
00:07:00
job lane, you know." And so, um, out of
00:07:03
nowhere, she taps my penis.
00:07:05
>> Mhm. And she goes, "You hungry?"
00:07:10
>> And I was like, "Oh, no. I'm I'm I just
00:07:12
>> The better question is, is she hungry?"
00:07:14
>> She seemed hungry.
00:07:15
>> Okay, got it.
00:07:16
>> I didn't ask her, but you know,
00:07:17
>> this is important for our listeners.
00:07:20
>> She looked like famished.
00:07:21
>> Yeah.
00:07:22
>> So, I said,
00:07:22
>> "Someone's the meal and someone's the
00:07:24
consumer of the meal."
00:07:25
>> Yes. Yeah. She was drooling. Then she
00:07:28
tapped my penis again harder like four
00:07:30
more times. She was like, "No, you
00:07:32
hungry. Am I breaking your mic?"
00:07:33
>> And I go, "Oh, no. Thank you. Thank
00:07:35
you." And she goes, "Oh, girlfriend."
00:07:38
And I go, "No." And she goes, "Wife."
00:07:42
And I go, "No,
00:07:43
>> I know where this one's heading, too."
00:07:44
>> Yeah. And she goes, "Oh,
00:07:47
>> that's it. She thinks you're the team."
00:07:49
>> Yeah. So, I walked out there feeling
00:07:51
great. I go to the Tony Robbins thing.
00:07:53
And they beforehand, they did a Zoom
00:07:55
call with me, you know, where they go,
00:07:56
"This is what Tony wants, and he wants
00:07:58
me to do Biden on a big screen. No one
00:08:01
sees me. They just see Biden. But he's
00:08:02
gonna introduce me as the president of
00:08:04
the United States is here.
00:08:06
>> And I was a little worried because he
00:08:09
that could happen. He could zoom in the
00:08:10
present. He's met all the presidents. So
00:08:12
I said to them, I'm a little worried
00:08:14
they're going to be disappointed when
00:08:15
they see me.
00:08:16
>> And they were just like, "This is what
00:08:17
20 wants. This is a cult. You don't tell
00:08:19
this is what we do."
00:08:20
>> Yeah. I did I did the same kind of gig.
00:08:23
>> I want to hear about yours because I'm
00:08:25
sure yours is better than
00:08:26
>> No, everything is ringing true to me.
00:08:28
But I love Tony. Oh, when they play they
00:08:31
play like a videape before.
00:08:33
>> Yes. So,
00:08:35
>> well, it was actually two things.
00:08:37
>> A montage, right? Yeah.
00:08:38
>> I'm making the story way too long, but
00:08:40
it was like
00:08:40
>> not on fly, right? Right.
00:08:42
>> We go over here. I Googled Tony Robbins
00:08:45
birthday on YouTube. I I don't think I
00:08:47
told you this
00:08:47
>> research.
00:08:48
>> And he his last birthday was this big
00:08:51
extravaganza with all these stars just
00:08:53
like Tony, you're the best. He's balling
00:08:55
crying. His wife's like, "I love you,
00:08:57
honey." It was like his 60th or
00:08:59
something like that, you know.
00:09:00
>> So, I felt even more pressure. This is
00:09:03
the next birthday.
00:09:04
>> So, um I get there and he's like,
00:09:06
"Thanks for doing this, you little hunk
00:09:08
of crap." And he whacks me on the back
00:09:11
>> and everybody's super jazzed up, but
00:09:14
they've been up since like 5 in the
00:09:16
morning, you know, swimming with sharks
00:09:19
going.
00:09:20
>> This is a lot of corporate gigs where
00:09:21
they beat him to death and they go,
00:09:22
"Here's entertainment." They're like,
00:09:23
>> "Yeah,
00:09:24
>> it's like raw, go, we can win." They
00:09:27
have dancers come out. You probably saw
00:09:29
this after every speaker like
00:09:31
>> Mine was on Zoom. Mine was on Zoom.
00:09:33
>> Oh, see that was smart.
00:09:36
>> Well,
00:09:36
>> I was there. I flew down to West uh Palm
00:09:39
Beach.
00:09:39
>> He wanted me to find
00:09:40
>> undisclosed location.
00:09:41
>> So, anyway, so what what how does this
00:09:43
>> So, yeah, get to the end of the story.
00:09:45
>> No, I want I could do Tony Robbins for
00:09:47
the first half hour and then we'll do
00:09:49
McCartney for the second half hour.
00:09:50
>> He's at a trampoline and I jumped on
00:09:52
that beforehand trying to get pumped up.
00:09:54
Mhm.
00:09:54
>> And um so the guy before me was uh the
00:09:58
Secretary of Defense, former Secretary
00:09:59
of Defense uh Larry Sumers. And he just
00:10:03
talked like this. He went over an hour
00:10:05
and a half.
00:10:07
>> It's like midnight now.
00:10:08
>> Yeah.
00:10:09
>> And uh Tony goes, "Are you ready for the
00:10:12
surprise of your life?" And they're
00:10:14
like, "Yeah." And they're like, "Have I
00:10:15
ever disappointed you?" And they're
00:10:17
like, "No, you never disappointed us."
00:10:19
And then he goes
00:10:21
>> and then and then someone goes like blah
00:10:23
blah there's a pause. He forgot to play
00:10:25
the package they made this minute
00:10:26
package video of him with presidents.
00:10:29
>> Oh okay.
00:10:30
>> So now that plays like okay
00:10:33
>> no he go yeah the president United
00:10:34
States I go nuts. Then they play the
00:10:35
package. Then he reintroduces me cuz he
00:10:38
introduced me before. He did it wrong
00:10:40
but now it really feels like for sure
00:10:43
the president
00:10:44
>> cuz he's in the video they said he's
00:10:45
shaking hands with Obama and he's
00:10:46
shaking hand. So they really think
00:10:48
Biden's coming up.
00:10:48
>> Oh, they 100%. There's no way he would
00:10:51
[ __ ] us over and have some [ __ ]
00:10:53
playing Biden.
00:10:54
>> Exactly. So I'm sitting backstage like,
00:10:56
"Oh no, it's the nightmare. I imagine."
00:10:59
>> So then I pop up on the screen and you
00:11:01
hear this audible
00:11:03
from the audience and I'm like, "Hey,
00:11:05
it's Tony Bologn's birthday. Hey, pretty
00:11:07
good guy. Come on, man. Corn dying."
00:11:10
Corn
00:11:11
>> just death.
00:11:13
>> Really? God so unusual. They're nothing
00:11:17
from them
00:11:17
>> cuz they're angry.
00:11:18
>> Yeah. And I think they don't even know
00:11:19
if it's a joke and they're just staring
00:11:21
and I'm in my head I'm going this is my
00:11:22
this is the funniest thing and I've got
00:11:24
another 25 minutes. You know when you
00:11:27
funniest you're like
00:11:29
>> this is just going to get worse.
00:11:30
>> And are you in a suit and tie just at a
00:11:32
regular mind?
00:11:33
>> That's a whole another thing. I went
00:11:34
shopping. You know when you're nervous
00:11:35
you shop for
00:11:36
>> after the masseuse.
00:11:39
>> I had to go after it. You know what I
00:11:41
mean? So I bought these new shoes. They
00:11:44
were both left feet, so I couldn't even
00:11:45
use this. I I had dirty shoes.
00:11:49
>> Who does that?
00:11:50
>> I I'm making this story. I'm telling you
00:11:53
10%
00:11:55
disaster.
00:11:57
>> Podcast probably.
00:11:58
>> If you want Yeah. Go to the
00:11:59
>> I think it's his own podcast.
00:12:00
>> Yeah. And then I got a shirt. So I
00:12:02
looked it was a black button. I looked
00:12:04
like a magician.
00:12:05
>> Yeah.
00:12:06
>> Um I think And I made a joke about that.
00:12:08
>> You have clown shoes on and a misfit.
00:12:10
>> I Yeah, I didn't. I wore my dirty shoes
00:12:13
>> and um because I I couldn't fit into
00:12:15
those two left feet.
00:12:16
>> They go I like when the magician made
00:12:18
all the laughter disappear.
00:12:23
>> Yeah, it's weird because the screen goes
00:12:26
up and now I have to introduce myself
00:12:28
and here's a surprise for Tony Kyle.
00:12:31
>> This is very normal.
00:12:32
>> They're like this guy's still going.
00:12:33
>> Yeah. Yeah. Well, I walk out and they
00:12:36
jump up and they're like, "Yay!" Hey,
00:12:39
cuz they're all taught to train
00:12:41
energy and then back to like we hate
00:12:43
you. Said back down.
00:12:44
>> This is very normal for we hate you.
00:12:46
>> Yeah.
00:12:47
>> And I go I I said something about like I
00:12:50
know I looks like I'm about to do magic.
00:12:52
I promise I'm not. And they like to see
00:12:54
magic. Yeah. They don't get any any
00:12:57
sarcasm or irony.
00:12:58
>> No. It's almost like the opposite
00:13:00
because it's all about positivity and
00:13:02
then I you know stand up cutting and I'm
00:13:04
halfway through jokes going don't tell
00:13:06
the rest of this joke. Mhm.
00:13:08
>> I I I told a joke. I go, "Um, I dated
00:13:10
this girl. She was too young for me. She
00:13:12
was 19 years younger. Don't judge. I was
00:13:15
in college. That's when you experiment."
00:13:17
And they go, "Oh, wait. That means she
00:13:18
was like three." Oh my god.
00:13:20
>> Yeah, that's a tough one. No, I didn't.
00:13:23
>> That's if that go into Bill Maher or
00:13:26
something, right? What's your what's
00:13:27
your fail safe like Defcon 5? What bit
00:13:32
is just
00:13:33
>> in that situation where you jump to
00:13:35
maybe this will work now
00:13:36
>> to your surefires.
00:13:37
>> Yeah. But nothing's working. So
00:13:39
>> in your head you have nothing.
00:13:40
>> Yeah.
00:13:41
>> But you're skipping chunks and then
00:13:43
you're like I won't have enough.
00:13:45
>> You're speeding through.
00:13:46
>> Yeah. Done it.
00:13:47
>> Half this and then the clock's like
00:13:49
going backwards and I'm like on the
00:13:50
piano at one point
00:13:52
>> and then people I have like pictures I
00:13:55
if you want I don't know if you have a
00:13:56
website if I could put up anyway. Um
00:13:59
>> we have nothing.
00:14:00
>> It doesn't matter. We don't really good
00:14:01
at social media.
00:14:02
>> We barely have audio. I think
00:14:04
>> I just got Wi-Fi.
00:14:07
>> I get off and I was supposed to sing
00:14:10
Happy Birthday to Tony as as Caitlyn
00:14:12
Jenner. Right. So, there's a wig. I'm
00:14:15
back on the where the laptop is where
00:14:17
I'm projected like a face swab and I see
00:14:20
the wig there and
00:14:23
no, I say I can't I need to walk out of
00:14:25
here with something. I can't walk out of
00:14:27
here with a woman's wig on. So, I leave
00:14:29
it there. or not crush. Yeah.
00:14:31
>> Yeah. And I just go sincere. I'm like,
00:14:32
"Hey guys, it's Tony's birthday. How
00:14:34
about a happy birthday?" I was supposed
00:14:36
to be like, "Happy birthday to Tony,
00:14:38
baby." Yeah. And do some He's got a big
00:14:41
old [ __ ]
00:14:42
>> But I bailed on that and I just did a
00:14:44
sincere happy birth. And they just
00:14:45
turned to their leader and they're like,
00:14:47
"Happy birthday." And I use that to
00:14:49
sneak out and I'm grabbing my stuff. And
00:14:51
so he thought I was off stage, but I was
00:14:53
under the desk. And he goes, "Did you
00:14:55
guys have a day you'll never forget?"
00:14:58
And they were like, "Yeah." And then he
00:15:00
goes, "This is a night I'd like to
00:15:02
forget."
00:15:03
>> No.
00:15:03
>> He was talking about me.
00:15:05
>> I've ne Have you ever heard Tony Robbins
00:15:07
say negative thing in your life about
00:15:08

00:15:09
>> No.
00:15:09
>> And he said about me.
00:15:10
>> That's That's weird.
00:15:11
>> It was rough.
00:15:12
>> That's weird.
00:15:13
>> That is weird. Wild Spanish.
00:15:14
>> We'll be right back with this show.
00:15:17
>> Word from our sponsor.
00:15:18
>> Yeah. I was just on a Zoom real quickly
00:15:20
and he was just super enthusiastic and
00:15:22
there were just all these flashing
00:15:23
pictures of people all over the world
00:15:25
and he would go I would do a bit like he
00:15:27
didn't like Fouchy so I was like you
00:15:29

00:15:31

00:15:43
>> Yeah
00:15:43
>> it was during the pandemic obviously.
00:15:45
>> How much time did you have to do? Um, I
00:15:48

it ended up being 35 and they were fine
00:15:53
with it. David, do you have a Tony

00:16:57
Caribbean. I love yours your stuff.
00:16:59
>> Good. We have We have like different
00:17:01
Bidens, which is
00:17:03

it's like yeah it's like a lower like a
00:17:19
mumble he does like
00:17:20
>> but my dad used to do this where he'd
00:17:22
he'd patronize whisper like I know
00:17:25
better than you do cuz I know a lot
00:17:28
better and I know how to do it you know
00:17:30
but your Biden's amazing
00:17:31
>> yeah come on yeah does that
00:17:33
>> and you do everything I mean you just
00:17:34
went at him early cuz now the New York
00:17:36
Times is attacking Biden saying he makes
00:17:38
up stories and bumbling back in those
00:17:40
days it was a hot oven but your thing
00:17:42
was always just
00:17:43
>> edgy and funny and
00:17:45
>> Kyle on YouTube is all and Instagram is
00:17:47
always something that's ahead of the
00:17:49
game.
00:17:49
>> Go anywhere you felt like going.
00:17:50
>> Even when you do Caitlyn Jenner, you get
00:17:52
uh you get you always wonder these
00:17:55
Kardashians even are they even aware. I
00:17:57
had I never know. They I found a video
00:18:00
that they made cuz I did a video where
00:18:01
they were like we're mad at you. The
00:18:03
whole thing was just like we're mad at
00:18:04
you. They were all mad at you
00:18:07
>> and then the Chloe did a video going mad
00:18:10
at you and really they did it. So they
00:18:12
saw that one. I don't know if they saw
00:18:14
the other ones though. I think um maybe
00:18:17
just that one.
00:18:17
>> Should we talk about one that you
00:18:18
thought might tweak them
00:18:20
>> cuz you're always going for the laugh.
00:18:22
You don't seem like you're waving any
00:18:24
political party or any point of view
00:18:25
other than what's funny.
00:18:27
>> Yeah, that's all I I'm trying to do.
00:18:29
>> You fresh prince of DC, right?
00:18:32
>> Mhm. I'm trying to finish one up now.
00:18:33
They take forever and I go dark. So, you
00:18:36
know, with making money on the the
00:18:38
internet, you've got to keep cranking
00:18:40
stuff out and you know, sketchy, really
00:18:41
hard to crank out. I mean SNL's they got
00:18:44
30 writers or something and then
00:18:45
>> oh no a oneman band what you're doing I
00:18:47
don't know
00:18:48
>> when you're doing it in the house and
00:18:49
you got green screens and face swap and
00:18:51
all these computer things you have
00:18:52
graphics
00:18:53
>> and I edit and then it's like
00:18:56
like I'll be like oh I I need tape to
00:18:59
tape down this wig. So then I go to the
00:19:00
store I got to get the tape for the wig
00:19:02
and that's a half hour. Then I'm like oh
00:19:03
wait I need a tie. Then I go to like the
00:19:05
Goodwill and I get a tie and then I'll
00:19:08
shoot for an hour and like oh my ear was
00:19:09
sticking out. And I got to reshoot that
00:19:11
for some days. So much work.
00:19:14
>> I I know some people could help you.
00:19:15
>> Well, I need to find I need to find a
00:19:17
way to get money that I could pay people
00:19:19
cuz that's that would be great.
00:19:22
>> Well, you're okay. Kyle Dunigan YouTube
00:19:25
channel listeners. Go check it out.
00:19:27
>> More talent.
00:19:30
It's tougher to make. There's just some
00:19:31
ways it's hard to make money no matter
00:19:34
how good you are. Just hard to get on
00:19:35
YouTube and that [ __ ] It's hard to
00:19:37
crank out sketch like they do. SNL's got
00:19:40
there's probably two sketches a week
00:19:42
that are
00:19:42
>> well they write about 50 55 in 24 hours
00:19:46
>> and two are good and they take two weeks
00:19:48
off every two weeks. It's just like it's
00:19:50
like bass player you know you strike out
00:19:52
>> sometimes three Kyle.
00:19:53
>> Oh is it three?
00:19:54
>> No Lauren visited the podcast. We would
00:19:57
do two and then a week off and then
00:20:00
three and then a week off then around
00:20:01
Christmas two weeks off then huge staff
00:20:04
churning stuff out and it's a numbers
00:20:06
game, you know.
00:20:07
>> Yeah. So I'll like do a few in a row and
00:20:10
I'll watch it grow and then I'll stop.
00:20:11
I'll need to like take a break for like
00:20:13
a month or a couple weeks and it'll just
00:20:15
I'll drop 40% on my next video. So it's
00:20:18
like that's I'm trying to figure out how
00:20:20
to do the business side. So now this
00:20:22
next fresh pressing is more like a short
00:20:24
film. I'm going to release it like and
00:20:26
maybe have people pay like two bucks for
00:20:28
it or something.
00:20:29
>> The Will Smith show a bunch of those. I
00:20:32
know. I've seen them just for the
00:20:33
audience. Kind of rapping as Biden and
00:20:36
around and then insanity ensues.
00:20:37
>> Yeah. And there's like sitcom
00:20:40
up the stairs.
00:20:40
>> Yeah.
00:20:46
>> Well, also people that are listening
00:20:48
should know Kyle is a comedian.
00:20:50
>> Been doing it forever. He up for five
00:20:52
Emmys. wrote for the in was it inside
00:20:55
Amy Schumer
00:20:55
>> and won an Emmy for
00:20:58
>> Girl You Don't Need Makeup, which I
00:21:00
listened to today.
00:21:01
>> What was that?
00:21:02
>> Girl, you don't need Makeup.
00:21:03
>> Was it on Amy When You Wake Up?
00:21:05
>> Yeah, it was on the Schumer show. My mom
00:21:07
has that. I brought her the Emmys. She's
00:21:09
very excited.
00:21:10
>> Okay, we'll come back to the Schumer
00:21:11
show. Uh Sarah Silverman, did you write
00:21:13
for that show?
00:21:14
>> I did actually. That was a show I was
00:21:16
writing and then I had uh I was like, I
00:21:19
have to get out of here. It was a great
00:21:21
job, but I just felt like I was writing
00:21:23
too much for other people and I wanted
00:21:25
to, you know, perform. So, I started
00:21:27
making I actually during that writing
00:21:30
thing, I figured out how to
00:21:32
>> um do the face swaps. So, it was a
00:21:35
FaceTime call so they could talk to each
00:21:37
other and that was like a big
00:21:38
>> um just like I was doing imitations of
00:21:40
the writers in the room and they liked
00:21:42
it. Then I started doing it online.
00:21:43
That's kind of what blew it up.
00:21:45
>> How long you been doing?
00:21:45
>> Uh 2016 or 16 17
00:21:48
>> and so Okay. Well, early on, tell us
00:21:51
when you
00:21:53
you probably were into SNL because all
00:21:57

00:21:57
>> Yeah.
00:21:58
>> And um but you did did you finally get
00:22:01
an audition or was it one or was it you
00:22:03

00:22:06
>> Yeah. I didn't know what to do. Yeah.
00:22:08
Big fan of SNL. Dana's been huge
00:22:10
influence. We talked about that. Uh but
00:22:13
we don't talk about
00:22:14
>> Yeah. Well, maybe we can talk about just
00:22:15
a little bit.
00:22:16
>> We can talk a little bit. I don't Three
00:22:17
>> sentences. I'll comment David though
00:22:19
because I was an extra on SNL
00:22:22
>> when I was there.
00:22:23
>> This is the worst.
00:22:24
>> No, you had left like the year before
00:22:27
and being Let me just go back. But but
00:22:29
but David
00:22:31
>> Oh, we're going to dog ear that one.
00:22:32
Yeah.
00:22:33
>> Yeah. David um
00:22:35
>> [ __ ] you up.
00:22:35
>> You could see in the monitors what was
00:22:38
going on in rehearsal and you could hear
00:22:39
it and I was like, "Oh, David's the
00:22:41
funniest one."
00:22:42
>> Cuz he was he was riffing.
00:22:44
>> Yeah. Yeah. I don't remember what you're
00:22:46
doing with your leg.
00:22:46
>> And then when the air show came, he
00:22:48
would freeze up a little bit.
00:22:53
>> He was funny.
00:22:54
>> Yeah, David was the always the funniest.
00:22:56
>> So funny. Very low rehearsal show you.
00:22:59
Yeah. I mean, rehearsal I didn't know
00:23:01
back then. They were probably taping
00:23:02
him, but you're just bullshitting with
00:23:04
your friends saying, "By the way,
00:23:05
anything forgetting you're on camera."
00:23:07
But when Kyle was there, we were doing
00:23:11
it. Happened to be one of my favorite
00:23:13
ones ever, which was the Gap Girls.
00:23:15
>> Lay Off, I'm starving.
00:23:16
>> Lay Off I'm Starving. And Kyle, not only
00:23:18
was he there,
00:23:20
>> he was a uh extra.
00:23:23
>> And they put him in the Gaff Girl sketch
00:23:27
and they put him in a primo spot behind
00:23:30
us. That was really
00:23:32
>> So you were just on camera with no lines
00:23:34
throughout the
00:23:34
>> Yeah. And I'm just right next to Chris
00:23:36
Farley. I'm like, "This is probably my
00:23:37
big break. I'm not sure.
00:23:39
>> That's not sure." But we're
00:23:41
>> about to go out and David comes over.
00:23:43
He's like, "Uh, yeah. This is my friend,
00:23:46
whoever the uh
00:23:48
>> my buddy was visiting from Arizona." And
00:23:49
I'd never done flip-flopping.
00:23:52
>> And I [ __ ] go, "Can he be in this?"
00:23:54
They go, "Yeah." And I go, "Rick, why
00:23:55
don't you sit here?" And they pulled
00:23:57
Kyle out.
00:23:58
>> Yeah. Well, they they flipped me. So,
00:23:59
like, we'll get you the back of your
00:24:00
head, Kyle. And my friend will get the
00:24:03
>> And then he became famous off that. He
00:24:05
he got a deal off that extra work.
00:24:08
>> Can I ask a question about this? Like
00:24:09
when just for a second because I don't
00:24:11
know that that part of you like when did
00:24:13
you start being a comedian?
00:24:16
>> Um you know
00:24:17
>> trying to be professional.
00:24:18
>> When did you go was your first standup
00:24:19
at 18 or were you doing little shows for
00:24:21
your parents when you were 10? We have
00:24:23
all different
00:24:24
>> When I was younger I I didn't uh I I
00:24:27
remember being laughed at but not like
00:24:29
me trying to be funny but like
00:24:30
humiliating things
00:24:32
>> just in school.
00:24:34
>> Yeah. Yeah.
00:24:34
>> I think my very first memory was my
00:24:37
whole family laughing. I mean, my my
00:24:38
grandmother was like I was like, "What's
00:24:40
this, Nana?" And it was a place, Matt.
00:24:42
We got like a choo choo place. And she
00:24:44
goes, "Oh, you eat on that." And my
00:24:46
little brain was like, "Eat
00:24:48
>> on it." Didn't make sense, but eat it
00:24:50
made sense.
00:24:52
>> Like on was like I think I'd skip that
00:24:54
little word. So I just started eating
00:24:56
it. And I came and I was trying to eat
00:24:57
that. And this first memories everyone
00:24:59
like
00:25:00
>> And then I got an idiot. Yeah. And
00:25:03
people would laugh at me, but I wasn't
00:25:04
trying to be funny. I was little. I
00:25:06
think we're like three little guys,
00:25:07
right? Three of us were like little
00:25:08
guys.
00:25:09
>> What was your height and weight when you
00:25:11
entered high school?
00:25:12
>> Um, I know. All I know is the tiniest
00:25:14
except for my friend Michael was like a
00:25:16
half inch. And I love cuz when they'd
00:25:18
line you up, it was like, Michael,
00:25:19
you're on the end. I But I was always
00:25:21
number two. But I remember they had
00:25:22
superlatives where they go, you know,
00:25:24
best looking, most likely to succeed.
00:25:26
And the popular girls come up to me,
00:25:28
they never talked to me, and they were
00:25:29
like, we decided you're the funniest.
00:25:31
>> Whoa. What grade was that?
00:25:32
>> Okay.
00:25:33
>> Junior was like 8th grade. I was like 12
00:25:35
years old.
00:25:36
>> So before school,
00:25:37
>> you know what I say to that? I go, "You
00:25:39
hungry?" And they go, "What?"
00:25:42
>> And I go, you go, "It's early. I'm going
00:25:43
to ask you again later."
00:25:44
>> But I didn't really know or or think I
00:25:46
was funny. And then
00:25:48
>> the lobby of the before you go into
00:25:50
school, there's like a lobby and
00:25:51
everyone hangs out there.
00:25:52
>> Terrifying. Junior high.
00:25:54
>> Right. Right. And this big the big
00:25:55
bully, Scott Chapman, comes up to me,
00:25:57
pushes me, and he goes, "You're not
00:25:58
funny." cuz word got out that I was
00:26:00
going to be the funniest and he wanted
00:26:02
to be the funny guy. And I was like,
00:26:03
yeah, okay. I don't I don't I think
00:26:04
you're right.
00:26:05
>> Beat the funny out of you.
00:26:06
>> And he goes, I'm funnier than you. Now
00:26:09
everyone starts gathering around us.
00:26:11
Funny fight. Yeah. Yeah.
00:26:14
>> Eight miles. So what does he say?
00:26:16
>> I backed it. I was like, you are like,
00:26:20
this is hilarious what you're doing. So
00:26:22
then I got voted class clown. I got
00:26:24
upset about it because um clown it kind
00:26:27
of hit me.
00:26:27
>> The same. It's not good. Especially when
00:26:30
you're 12 and you want to be liked by
00:26:31
girls and it was like the popular girls.
00:26:33
I was like, "Oh, they look at me like
00:26:34
I'm this like clown."
00:26:35
>> So, I have a My friend was really sweet
00:26:38
and he was intending to do something
00:26:40
nice. But he went to the principal or
00:26:41
whatever and was like, "Kyle's upset of
00:26:43
the clown called clown." So, they
00:26:45
changed it to Bez. They changed it to
00:26:48
Beth's personality.
00:26:50
>> Really?
00:26:51
>> Don't shrink.
00:26:52
>> Don't he's shrinking down in his chair.
00:26:54
>> They changed it. Uh did you did you uh
00:26:57
did your gift for Mimree emerge at that
00:27:00
time? Could you do the PE coach or were
00:27:02
you doing you know?
00:27:03
>> Yeah, that actually got me attention
00:27:04
from girls. I did um
00:27:07
>> uh M I did Michael Jackson. This girl I
00:27:10
really liked would be like do Michael
00:27:12
Jackson. So I just dance like a monkey
00:27:14
and one time she'd cross it off her
00:27:15
shoe, Michael Jackson. And I got hurt
00:27:17
personally like we broke up.
00:27:19
>> But
00:27:20
>> but did you do the voice or just do
00:27:22
>> you dance? I do the the voice and the
00:27:24
dance. I remember, this is a hacky
00:27:26
impression now, but I saw one of my
00:27:27
first impression. I saw Christopher
00:27:28
walking at our local tiny grocery store,
00:27:32
Western Connecticut. Tiny little thing.
00:27:35
I'd never seen a famous person before,
00:27:36
you know? So, I was following him around
00:27:37
like a creep. You know the thing when
00:27:39
you go to a grocery store and you're
00:27:40
like, "Oh, I just want to get like some
00:27:42
batteries." But then you start going,
00:27:44
"Oh, I need that. I need that." So, he
00:27:45
had this whole pile of stuff. Yeah. And
00:27:47
right before he got to the front, he
00:27:50
just like janged it all over the floor
00:27:53
and he goes, "Oh, no, my cottage
00:27:55
cheese." And the lady was like, "It's
00:27:57
fine." And he's like, "No, no, you you
00:27:59
get quiet and be like, "I'm sorry." He
00:28:01
got really loud and that like bug got
00:28:03
me. That was like I think uh one of the
00:28:05
first impressions I did. But I did
00:28:06
impressions. But then I started doing
00:28:07
standup when I got out
00:28:10
>> uh to try to make money because there
00:28:11
just was no money in school.
00:28:13
>> Out of out of the world of school, out
00:28:16
of college and stuff.
00:28:17
>> So early 20s you start doing stand up.
00:28:19
>> Yeah. And my you know managers were like
00:28:21
don't do impressions and guitar. So
00:28:24
everything that I do well they I didn't
00:28:26
do for 20 years until I found Facebook.
00:28:28
>> They told me not to do that either.
00:28:30
Yeah. Don't do impressions. Don't don't
00:28:31
do the church lady. What bad advice that
00:28:34
that we got.
00:28:35
>> Yeah.
00:28:35
>> Later you go, what the [ __ ] do you know?
00:28:38
>> So then what was your like those years
00:28:40
you you got on shows pretty quickly like
00:28:42
Cedric the Entertainer. You were a
00:28:44
sketch player. That was
00:28:45
>> Yeah, that was um I thought that was
00:28:47
like a big break cuz I was kind of a hit
00:28:49
sketch show and I joined mid-season cuz
00:28:51
like we need a white guy to pick on and
00:28:54
uh pick on
00:28:56
>> before we would do the show. It was like
00:28:57
a funny little thing. They would do a
00:28:59
prayer circle and Cedric, you know, is
00:29:02
very religious and uh he's holding hands
00:29:04
with two Jewish, you know, producers and
00:29:07
we're just sitting around. I would just
00:29:08
stare at the Jewish producers because
00:29:09
they'd have to be there like pray,
00:29:12
please Jesus, help these setups, land
00:29:14
our punchlines, and be all praying for
00:29:18
Jesus. And there was really only like a
00:29:19
couple of people who believed in Jesus,
00:29:21
but that was before.
00:29:23
>> Are you pray awkward?
00:29:24
>> I'm not religious. No. Okay. Yeah.
00:29:26
>> No. Do you have any um affiliation with
00:29:29
a political party? Uh
00:29:31
>> spell your last name, Mr. Dunigan.
00:29:34
>> Uh wait, I want to get to some
00:29:36
impressions, too. But also, oh wait,
00:29:38
when did you do cruise ships? Cuz my
00:29:39
buddy does cruise ships and he said
00:29:40
they're tough.
00:29:41
>> My friend was like, "Don't do it. It'll
00:29:42
be really bad." And I I was like, "How
00:29:44
could that be bad?" You know, vacation.
00:29:47
How could that be bad?
00:29:48
>> So, I go there and
00:29:50
>> cruise ships,
00:29:51
>> three shows a night, and it's a free
00:29:53
show, so everyone goes to the show
00:29:54
because it's free. They already paid for
00:29:55
it. And I'm bombing so hard. Mostly
00:29:58
wheelchairs. It was a very old cruise.
00:30:00
>> You hear people leaving. They
00:30:03
>> And then the walkers after that.
00:30:05
>> Yeah. You buy WD40.
00:30:08
>> And I got
00:30:10
>> We love when David does.
00:30:11
>> I know. He does great. He does great
00:30:12
sound effects.
00:30:15
>> WD40 gets underplayed in the world. It's
00:30:17
out there though.
00:30:18
>> Yeah. I but I was famous for being
00:30:20
terrible on the ship. So I just hid in
00:30:22
my room.
00:30:22
>> Then you go and you're looking over the
00:30:23
Leo deck and it was like that guy
00:30:25
sucked. Are you the guy that's horrible?
00:30:26
So
00:30:27
>> yeah. So you bomb the first night.
00:30:29
>> No, I bombed every night. No, nothing.
00:30:32
>> Three times a night.
00:30:32
>> Three times a night where it was just
00:30:34
this awful. And then one time they make
00:30:36
you after the show say goodbye to
00:30:38
everybody. So you bomb and you got a big
00:30:40
thank you for coming.
00:30:42
>> Yeah. So, I see this woman hovering,
00:30:46
>> you know, around me and I'm like, "Oh,
00:30:48
here's a fan. That's we'll have to deal
00:30:49
with this.
00:30:50
>> This is nice."
00:30:51
>> And she goes, "I have to tell you,
00:30:54
>> you look exactly like my dead son.
00:30:58
>> My son just died a month ago. They were
00:31:01
going to cancel this trip and they
00:31:04
already bought the tickets and the dad
00:31:05
won't look at me. Apparently, I look
00:31:06
amazingly and sound like her son who
00:31:09
just died." So, I'm like, "Oh my god,
00:31:10
I'm so sorry." And then I keep running
00:31:14
into her because the ship's not that big
00:31:17
>> at the buffet by the
00:31:18
>> everywhere. And and then I I went to one
00:31:20
bar and I'm like, "Oh god, there she is
00:31:22
again." And she's got the rest of her
00:31:23
family and it was like, "There he is."
00:31:25
And everyone there he is.
00:31:27
>> They're like, "Oh,
00:31:28
>> she confused you dying on stage.
00:31:31
>> You both died."
00:31:32
>> Once you died on stage, I was like, "No,
00:31:35
that's him."
00:31:36
>> And then she asked me to go rock
00:31:38
climbing and
00:31:39
>> trying to be the son again.
00:31:41
>> Yeah. I can't say no to her. So now I'm
00:31:43
rock climbing and she's staring at me.
00:31:45
>> She starts calling you Dave Michael or
00:31:47
something.
00:31:47
>> She was sort she was sort of having this
00:31:49
thing with me and I I had had to do it
00:31:52
and I could tell I wasn't
00:31:53
>> it's a good sitcom
00:31:54
>> as good as her son. She was like just
00:31:56
climb up like you're not act
00:31:58
>> you're good at this.
00:32:00
>> Yeah.
00:32:00
>> So she's ordering around like a mom to a
00:32:02
son. Yeah. Just climb up.
00:32:03
>> Yeah. Yeah.
00:32:04
>> And just so you do up terrified
00:32:08
>> and her son I'm sure was like bing bing.
00:32:09
>> You're the worst fake son.
00:32:12
Yeah, that was my uh boy.
00:32:14
>> That was the week that Obama was uh uh
00:32:16
or not Obama that that bin Laden was uh
00:32:19
killed.
00:32:21
>> Is that Obama?
00:32:22
>> That was my bin Laden. My Obama's not
00:32:25
like this. That's what you do.
00:32:27
>> My mom points like Obama, you know, not
00:32:30
Obama. Um
00:32:32
>> so then when did how did you become a
00:32:34
genius?
00:32:35
>> Are they two different people? I don't
00:32:37
know.
00:32:38
>> Points like like Obama. I meant to say
00:32:41
Bin Laden. There might be something
00:32:42
racist in there, but like I kept saying
00:32:44
Obama and Bin Laden, but um yeah, she
00:32:46
just points like a terrorist is saying
00:32:50
their blood will run in the streets. My
00:32:51
mother's finger gets right in you in
00:32:53
your face like that.
00:32:54
>> Your mom's in your bit sometimes.
00:32:55
>> Yeah, she's really good actually.
00:32:56
>> Do you tell her what to do or no?
00:32:58
>> Yeah, I actually surprise her cuz once
00:32:59
she knows she's acting, it's over. We
00:33:01
have to
00:33:02
>> She'll come on stage. No, we fil
00:33:06
when she's doing dishes. be like, "Hey,
00:33:08

>> She has to improv it. She's good. Yeah.
00:33:14
Yeah. Do Craig to my mom.
00:33:15

00:33:22
>> Well, we want to get to that. We're just
00:33:23
creeping up to like how many years of
00:33:24
standup and and then when do you try out
00:33:26
for SNL?
00:33:27
>> Oh, yes. And the first time I did
00:33:29
standup actually was in high school was
00:33:30
20 minutes before. My friends were like,
00:33:32
"You should do standup." And I was like,
00:33:34
"Okay." Cuz I just did what people told
00:33:36
me. And I wrote a set in 20 minutes and
00:33:38
the set was 20 minutes. So I don't know
00:33:39
what that must have been very
00:33:41
>> first time usually crushes.
00:33:42
>> What's that?
00:33:43
>> First time usually crushes and did
00:33:46
pretty good because I was doing teachers
00:33:48
and stuff like that but I got suspended
00:33:50
halfway through it
00:33:52
>> could go wrong.
00:33:54
>> Oh
00:33:55
>> well it's so it's so funny though.
00:33:57
>> Yeah. But the uh halfway through the
00:33:59
host, this girl was like, "Um, you have
00:34:01
to um uh you you have to stop uh saying
00:34:06
something about, oh, you can't say penis
00:34:08
or Miss Ola is going to suspend you was
00:34:10
the thing." And then they were all quiet
00:34:12
like, "What happened?" I was like, "I'm
00:34:14
not allowed to say penis anymore." And
00:34:16
then I started going like Mike Kilbos.
00:34:17
And then I started doing other name. It
00:34:19
was then they took me off stage. Anyway,
00:34:21
>> they took you away.
00:34:22
>> Yeah, they took me away in a jacket. Um
00:34:25
but I start Yeah. But I like when you
00:34:26
bump with the microphone with your chin
00:34:28
while you're talking and you hug it like
00:34:30
this.
00:34:30
>> He's hugging it. He's bumping it. He's
00:34:32
So when did you start crushing and get
00:34:35
the notion I want to and I'm highly
00:34:39
qualified to be on Saturday Night Live?
00:34:41
>> Uh I always wanted like like watching
00:34:44
you and stuff. I not that I felt like
00:34:46
I'd be as good as you, but I thought
00:34:47
like I can do that kind of thing. That's
00:34:49
like up in my wheelhouse, you know? So I
00:34:51
really want to do it and I love the
00:34:52
show. You actually almost stopped me
00:34:55
from getting uh from losing my
00:34:57
virginity. You
00:34:58
>> It didn't happen, but you almost
00:35:01
>> I was coming home from a party and uh
00:35:05
this woman who was this girl, she's like
00:35:07
21, was in my Spanish class and she's on
00:35:10
a balcony. She goes, "Kyle Dunagan, get
00:35:13
up here." Just hammered. And like we
00:35:17
immediately had, she just decided we're
00:35:19
having sex. I don't remember what
00:35:20
happened in between, but then I was
00:35:22
like, but I I almost didn't go up
00:35:24
because I was like, I want to go back
00:35:25
and see Dana Carvey because SNL was
00:35:27
starting and I almost
00:35:29
>> but I I wish I had because I I didn't
00:35:32
think I got AIDS from this woman. I knew
00:35:34
I got AIDS from this woman. Like it was
00:35:36
back when if you just had unprotected
00:35:38
sex, you got AIDS,
00:35:39
>> right? When it started, everyone thought
00:35:41
AIDS. Yeah,
00:35:42
>> it's everyone's going to get it.
00:35:43
>> So, I wish I had me on the show. I did
00:35:45
and I wish I hadn't.
00:35:46
>> I got AIDS from watching Dana once.
00:35:48
>> Yeah. So you either way you're on Fouchy
00:35:52
got me, took care of me. We give you a
00:35:53
shot. You give me a
00:35:56
>> The booas.
00:35:58
>> So you do it accurately. I just punt
00:36:00
sometimes.
00:36:00
>> He does. I just decide how I want him to
00:36:03
sound and hope people.
00:36:04
>> He does quieter Fouchy.
00:36:06
>> I'm a Dana derivative. You're not
00:36:10
crying, laughing, talking about um
00:36:14
Mickey Rooney.
00:36:15
>> Yep.
00:36:16
>> Um Mickey Rooney. I I heard you do it
00:36:18
before, but I know his true story.
00:36:21
Yeah.
00:36:21
>> What you worked with him on a play?
00:36:23
>> No, a TV show, One of the Boys, in 1981.
00:36:27
I was cast out of nowhere. I was just a
00:36:29
young stand-up Fred Silverman, the head
00:36:31
NBC. That's Mickey Rooney's grandson.
00:36:32
Then I'm on a 747 with Nathan Lane. He
00:36:35
was going
00:36:36
>> That's right. He was your
00:36:37
>> So, we became friends and then we met
00:36:39
Mickey who had a 38 revolver and
00:36:42
>> literally at least once an hour I was
00:36:44
the number one star in the world. You
00:36:47
hear me? Bang the world.
00:36:51
>> Anyway,
00:36:53
>> he's not kissing you. He's like pulling
00:36:54
something.
00:36:55
>> Yeah. He would say things like uh he
00:36:57
needed money and he would he would dying
00:36:59
laughing.
00:37:00
>> Judy Garland never owned a car. It was
00:37:02
nonsequ. Why Mickey? Cuz they pumped her
00:37:05
so full of drugs they killed her. And
00:37:08
then he would just look off into space.
00:37:10
>> Yeah.
00:37:10
>> Yeah.
00:37:11
>> And they I asked him for money and Joe
00:37:13

00:37:27
Anyway, that that's another podcast
00:37:30

00:37:32

nice guy. And then I went home and
00:37:44
looked you up and went, "My god, this is
00:37:46
my brother from another mother."
00:37:49
>> I mean, it's an honor that you think
00:37:50
that that's
00:37:51
>> Well, it's the evidence is on YouTube

>> No. I I love I love you.
00:40:49
>> No, there's no conversation. It's just
00:40:51
she was doing her job to say hi. But
00:40:53
this happens a lot when fans or some or
00:40:56
just anyone comes up and says hi and
00:40:58
then we just catch ourselves having it's
00:41:01
just too old. Right. Just references the
00:41:03
old
00:41:03
>> it is hard. I the my last date that I
00:41:06
had I don't go on many dates because of
00:41:08
what happens in on them.
00:41:10
>> And she says to me,
00:41:14
>> um, well, you're a little long in the
00:41:15
tooth. And I don't think we were talking
00:41:18
about age or anything. And I thought we
00:41:20
had a Yeah. And never heard from Yes.
00:41:22
That's we were talking about long in the
00:41:24
tooth. Long in the tooth.
00:41:25
>> Long in the tooth. That's That makes her
00:41:27
seem old. That's an old fashioned. She
00:41:30
was 62 with a nice lip.
00:41:33
>> Yeah.
00:41:33
>> I went Yeah. My dating's not been I went
00:41:36
on a date where the uh girl was um she
00:41:39
showed up different than what her
00:41:40
picture was. Just say that. Very
00:41:42
different.
00:41:42
>> Just say different. Yeah. Different.
00:41:44
>> And she gets in the car and um she gets
00:41:47
nauseous and every five minutes we're
00:41:50
pulling over for her to drool out of the
00:41:52
car and then she takes off her shoe and
00:41:54
starts rubbing her bare foot like
00:41:57
crossed over. Anyway, it's been going
00:41:59
well. So, anyway, about SNL.
00:42:02
I knew a guy went on a Tinder date with
00:42:04
this woman and uh she'd never she was I
00:42:07
guess she was didn't have a lot of
00:42:08
money, but they took her to a sushi
00:42:10
restaurant and she would just kept
00:42:11
saying, "I want to stab it. I want to
00:42:13
stab it." So, she had she had a fork.
00:42:15
She was just stabbing the sushi.
00:42:16
>> What do you mean just a little piece of
00:42:17
sushi?
00:42:18
>> Yeah. I want to stab it.
00:42:24
I'll tell you one last story of when my
00:42:25
waiter who's German.
00:42:28
I got I was there was a picture of me
00:42:31
kissing a girl in a pool that was
00:42:33
secretly taken or whatever but it was
00:42:35
kind of all over the place cuz it's
00:42:36
>> just was a weird match of people
00:42:39
>> me and her. Actually it was just weird
00:42:41
cuz she was cute and I'm gross.
00:42:43
>> That was funny.
00:42:44
>> That's really the headline. And so my
00:42:46
waiter go. It's been definitely very
00:42:48
weird, you know, like I obviously I'm
00:42:50
aware of it and it's weird. And then
00:42:51
about a week later, the guy goes, "Hey,
00:42:53
he knows me."
00:42:54
>> Yeah.
00:42:55
>> How was your vacation, huh? I go,
00:42:58
"Okay." And he goes, "A little pool
00:43:00
party, huh?" I go, "Yeah." He goes, "A
00:43:04
little fun in the sun, huh?"
00:43:07
>> I go, "Yeah, keep going." And he goes,
00:43:09
"Yeah,
00:43:10
>> I saw pictures of you kissing a girl." I
00:43:13
Yeah, I know. I know what you're talking
00:43:14
about. He goes, "Oh, why? Why do they
00:43:16
make you so fat in that?" And I go,
00:43:18
"What do you mean?" He goes, "You get
00:43:19
out of the pool. It's like I didn't know
00:43:21
you were kind of fat, but why do you
00:43:23
want that picture?" I go, "I don't want
00:43:25
that. What are you talking about?" I go,
00:43:27
"That's what a paparazzi is. They take a
00:43:29
hundred pictures of you and find the
00:43:31
grossest one and then they go they got a
00:43:33
jeweler's loop and they go, "He looks
00:43:35
fat and gross here. WE GOT A WINNER. RUN
00:43:37
WITH IT." AND THEN someone runs it to
00:43:38
the press room. But he goes, "No, I
00:43:41
wouldn't pick." He doesn't get it. Yeah.
00:43:42
>> He goes, "Now, I wouldn't pick that one
00:43:44
cuz you know, you look kind of fat and
00:43:46
you you want to look good." I go,
00:43:47
>> "Why aren't you listen? You don't
00:43:49
understand what I'm saying." He goes,
00:43:49
"No,
00:43:50
>> we need to get these we need to get a
00:43:51
lot of people out of your life."
00:43:53
>> No, that guy, he's all right.
00:43:54
>> Let's put on speedos.
00:43:55
>> Everyone just makes go to the beach.
00:43:57

00:44:02
>> All right. SNL audition. That's all.
00:44:04
>> SNL audition. this point, let's just say
00:44:07

00:44:10
probably do pretty much any accent and
00:44:12
at least 50.
00:44:14
>> Have you done any shimmer show yet at
00:44:16
this point? You've done any of that
00:44:17
stuff, writing?
00:44:18
>> No, I had done Cedric, which was a
00:44:21
sketch show, but I never worked on any.
00:44:23
There was no reason to really work on
00:44:25
any uh impressions or characters because
00:44:27
I wasn't doing it on YouTube and there
00:44:29
was no money in doing it, right? Right.
00:44:31
>> I was doing standup and doing
00:44:33
>> Yeah, you do just straight stand up.
00:44:35
>> Doing straight stand up.
00:44:36
>> Extremely funny as well.
00:44:37
>> Yeah. Uh, thank you. I um always feel
00:44:40
like square peg into doing standup. Like
00:44:43
I'm trying to do scenes and stand up.
00:44:45
>> That was the same with me.
00:44:46
>> Yeah.
00:44:46
>> I was always I didn't realize that till
00:44:48
later. No wonder it was difficult in a

honky tonk bar. Show us your dick. You
00:44:52
know,
00:44:53
>> I am a French waiter. Now I'm trying to,
00:44:57

00:44:58
>> yeah, I So what I did was I just made a
00:45:01
random tape of impressions and sent it
00:45:03
in, not even thinking cuz I nothing was
00:45:06
going on. I was broke
00:45:08
>> and somehow they were like flew me out
00:45:10

00:45:16
next day I was flying out and I'm trying
00:45:19
to write the thing and I'm really really
00:45:22
nervous and I'm in a hotel for 2 days

00:45:37
30 people Nick R was there and he was
00:45:39

00:45:40

00:45:43
really young I was like hey How how old?
00:45:46
Do I know you? He's like, "No, I'm five.
00:45:50
I'm this many." So I was like, "This
00:45:53
guy's not going to make it."
00:45:55
>> That's I've never heard of Joe Maloney.
00:45:57
Let me let me absorb that.
00:46:00
>> I'm five. He he he made jokes about how
00:46:03
young
00:46:04
>> he does. I mean, he looked real really
00:46:05
young.
00:46:06
>> Crazy for the long high school.
00:46:07
>> So he's auditioning, too. So you got
00:46:08
he's auditioning the same night as or
00:46:11
day as Nick Croll.
00:46:13
>> Nick Croll.
00:46:13
>> Okay. 30 people. 30 people. That's a
00:46:16
death march.
00:46:17
>> And I'm just like white knuckling and
00:46:20
I'm just like, please not first. I just
00:46:22
want to go first.
00:46:23
>> Yeah.
00:46:23
>> You know, let someone else.
00:46:24
>> She could hear this here.
00:46:27
>> Uh, no.
00:46:28
>> Was this in 8H?
00:46:30
>> I think people could actually I No, we
00:46:32
were in the Conan because they were
00:46:34
doing the Olympics.
00:46:35
>> Yeah. 64 Rock Center. Got you.
00:46:37
>> But they're like, first up is Kyle
00:46:39
Dunigan.
00:46:40
>> And I was like,
00:46:41
>> out of 30.
00:46:42
>> Yeah, I know. That's What are the odds
00:46:44
of that? 3% odds. 3.3% odds. So, I went
00:46:49
into the You can do this. Hey,
00:46:51
>> you got this.
00:46:52
>> You got this, buddy.
00:46:53
>> Right.
00:46:54
>> But, um, trouble.
00:46:56
>> He didn't have this.
00:46:58
>> Go ahead.
00:46:58
>> Spoiler. So, they're mking me up, which
00:47:02
is nerve-wracking in itself when
00:47:03
someone's mking you. And the camera guy
00:47:05
is like, I'm going to count you in 3 2
00:47:07
1. You right.
00:47:08
>> I'm getting nervous. This is so well
00:47:10
told.
00:47:11
>> Crew guys have too much power. thing and
00:47:13
all the okay kid is that good for you?
00:47:15
Do you like it right?
00:47:16
>> And they're not nervous at all. And
00:47:17
>> your radio pack. You want it right in
00:47:19
your pocket. It's all these questions.
00:47:22
>> So he goes, "I'm going to count you
00:47:23
right into your stuff. 3 2 1. You go
00:47:25
right into your stuff." So he said to
00:47:26
me, "My stuff."
00:47:28
>> So I had that locked in my head. So I
00:47:30
walk out and the camera's in front of me
00:47:31
and Lauren and everybody are to the left
00:47:33
and I'm just staring at the camera.
00:47:35
>> Oh no. Any applause at all? No. Just
00:47:37
silence.
00:47:37
>> Nothing's happening.
00:47:38
>> You just walk out. Nothing's happening.
00:47:39
>> Nothing's happening. And then Lauren
00:47:41
goes, "Hello."
00:47:44
Like, "Hello. Say hello to us. We're
00:47:45
over here." And I go, "Oh, hello. Hi.
00:47:47
Hi." And I turn back to the camera and
00:47:50
more dead silence. And he's the guy's
00:47:51
not counting me in, you know. And then
00:47:54
Lauren says something.
00:47:56
>> I'm already on thin ice and it's just
00:47:58
crushed me through the ice into the L.
00:48:00
He goes, "Are you okay?"
00:48:04
>> Whoa.
00:48:05
>> And then I start trying to say tell him
00:48:07
the guy. I go, "Well, he said three,
00:48:09
two." He knows he's about to get tattled
00:48:11
on, so he counts me in. And the red
00:48:13
light goes on, and I'm just a destroyed
00:48:17
uh uh I I can't get to any facility or
00:48:22
impression. My brain's like, "Look, all
00:48:24
hands on deck to make this guy pass out.
00:48:27
Drop the bill on her. We're not doing
00:48:29
any of that. We're just going to
00:48:30
breathe." You know, Kaylin, you know,
00:48:32
whatever. She wasn't alive. It wasn't
00:48:34
alive. She wasn't. Anyway, um that made
00:48:37
no sense. So, I can't even They brought
00:48:39
a piano out for me. I can't play the
00:48:41
piano. Like, I'm just ploning on it
00:48:42
wrong with you
00:48:43
>> and every impression sounds the same.
00:48:45
I'm like, "This is Chris Hansen. I'm
00:48:47
Chris Hansen. This is blah blah." I'm
00:48:49
sort of outside myself. And then I walk
00:48:51
out like I just got beat up. And then
00:48:54
the producers go to everybody else.
00:48:55
Guys, when you go out there, say hi to
00:48:57
Lauren. Okay.
00:48:59
>> Oh.
00:49:00
>> And so, everyone after me not to do it.
00:49:02
>> Hi. Yeah. anyway
00:49:04
>> and be funny.
00:49:05
>> It's fine.
00:49:06
>> How many were out there? There's Lauren.
00:49:07
Was like 10 people.
00:49:08
>> There's probably 10 people.
00:49:09
>> And they were sort of to your left and
00:49:11
the camera was center. You didn't know
00:49:13
where it played.
00:49:14
>> Yeah. I didn't know where I don't know
00:49:14
if it was good to them or the camera,
00:49:16
but the camera guy, it seemed like that
00:49:18
was the thing to do.
00:49:19
>> Yeah.
00:49:20
>> But uh
00:49:21
>> what was your Bill Mahar there?
00:49:23
>> Okay. People,
00:49:25
do you think you're one of those people?
00:49:27
Who's
00:49:28
>> Let's hear Bill. Yeah, keep going. I
00:49:29
love No one. Does anyone else do him? I
00:49:33
don't think uh
00:49:34
>> your to me your hook was the okay
00:49:37
>> okay people
00:49:38
>> yeah whiny whiny whiny you think
00:49:41
>> you really think you don't you're wrong
00:49:43
church lady do you think there's a magic
00:49:45
man in the sky there's not okay
00:49:49
>> okay it's sustaining the okay yeah
00:49:52
>> Eve was a pig she was made out of ribs
00:49:55
okay
00:49:57
>> yeah cuz he admonishes his audience so
00:50:00
directly you think this and You think
00:50:02
that? Yeah.
00:50:03
>> Everything sounds sarcastic. You think
00:50:05
you're good? I bet even if he was trying
00:50:07
to be sincere, I'm Yeah, I'm sort of
00:50:09
like that where people think I'm not
00:50:11
>> him ordering frozen yogurt.
00:50:13
>> Yeah, I'll have the rum raisin cuz it's
00:50:16
delicious. Okay.
00:50:19
I'll have the Go-Gurt.
00:50:21
>> What impressions did you do on SNL
00:50:23
audition?
00:50:24
>> The attempted you
00:50:25
>> I did Chris Hansen was big at the time.
00:50:28
Can you do him now? You're not doing
00:50:29
this now?
00:50:29
>> Yeah, he was from to Catch a Predator.
00:50:31
Oh yeah, he was trying to have sex with
00:50:33
little girls. His screen name was, yep,
00:50:36
you guessed it, boner 95. He was trying
00:50:39
to have sex. He does like nine notes and
00:50:42
the one word sex. He goes sack.
00:50:45
>> Yeah, he's so lascivious. He's He's got
00:50:47
a new show on I was watching. It's just
00:50:49
everything is so cryptic.
00:50:51
>> And it's come out he's kind of a
00:50:53
criminal sort of which is interesting.
00:50:56
>> Quietly.
00:50:58
>> Yeah. And what was your one that never
00:51:00
failed that you couldn't get to that day
00:51:02
with Lauren watching?
00:51:04
>> Oh, I none of them sounded like any of
00:51:06
them.
00:51:06
>> Oh, you really couldn't get in the voice
00:51:08
from nerves?
00:51:09
>> Yeah. I was so um shell shocked. It's
00:51:12
almost like if you're afraid of bees and
00:51:14
there's bees around you, I couldn't even
00:51:16
begin to get to uh what I my voice.
00:51:19
>> It's really so inefficient that this
00:51:21
thing cuz I Steve Carell when he
00:51:23
auditioned for the show I did in 96, you
00:51:26
know.
00:51:26
>> Yeah, that was great.
00:51:26
>> He came in and he was really nervous.
00:51:28
Yeah,
00:51:28
>> you know, and he wasn't really doing
00:51:30
well, but I I was such a horrible
00:51:32
auditioner that later I looked at his
00:51:34
tape
00:51:35
>> and of course Louis and Smuggle loved
00:51:37
him too, but it was like, oh no, he was
00:51:39
just nervous. Didn't mean a thing to me.
00:51:40
>> It would be almost better if you put it
00:51:42
on tape and send it in because then you
00:51:44
just do it on your own time, your own
00:51:45
speed. You get it the best it is.
00:51:47
>> I know. I think so. And and I hear that
00:51:49
they do try to rattle you. I know Nick
00:51:52
was saying that they So maybe they do,
00:51:54
but they
00:51:55
>> uh Lauren, if you're listening, you
00:51:57
don't have to. Everyone's really
00:51:58
nervous. You're really already really
00:51:59
nervous. And I get it's a live show. You
00:52:01
better be able to handle it.
00:52:03
>> And there's an argument for that. Like I
00:52:05
wasn't ready to do that.
00:52:07
>> You know, it's funny when I don't
00:52:08
remember this, but Louis uh CK when he
00:52:11
auditioned, I think he auditioned where
00:52:12
we did a maybe Catch Rising Star, one of
00:52:15
those places, standup comedy club
00:52:17
>> where me and Robbie Schneider did.
00:52:19
>> And and when I was on the other side of
00:52:22
it, it was like,
00:52:23
>> "Oh, there's auditions tonight if
00:52:25
anybody wants to go." like Marcy would
00:52:26
say, you guys.
00:52:27
>> And so Downey, so a bunch of us went
00:52:29
down
00:52:30
>> cuz I was still a writer also and
00:52:32
performers. Had no pull, but I don't
00:52:34
know if it was Lauren, but it was maybe
00:52:36
that first one is everybody else. Maybe
00:52:38
it's Lauren, but you know, it's still
00:52:39
scary. Smile, Downey, Frank, and you
00:52:41
know, all all of us. And then a bunch of
00:52:43
scattered writers and producers. And
00:52:45
then um
00:52:46
>> Louis said he was going on and we were
00:52:47
walking in when they introduced him
00:52:50
>> and he said I I shushed everyone to be
00:52:52
quiet so he could start. I don't
00:52:54
remember that, but it sounds about right
00:52:56
that you would go, I just did this two
00:52:58
years ago,
00:52:59
>> and I know how sick he is backstage
00:53:01
going, oh no, I got to go on. And then
00:53:03
and then they're like, you're up.
00:53:04
They're like, well, they're not here
00:53:05
yet. And then they go, ladies and
00:53:06
gentlemen, they go, oh, they're coming
00:53:08
in. Wait, that's exactly like a horrible
00:53:10
situation. What do you do? Do you not
00:53:11
start? Your best jokes are at the top.
00:53:13
No one's listening.
00:53:14
>> Yeah.
00:53:14
>> Everyone's like, I'll get a vodka soda.
00:53:16
Do you guys have a potato skins? You
00:53:18
know, you're like, no, no, just listen
00:53:19
right now. It's the only part you need
00:53:21
to hear
00:53:21
>> and then we can do whatever. At one
00:53:23
point, Lauren did stop me. I I've got to
00:53:26
be seen in a comedy club, but I also did
00:53:27
the thing you did with like eight people
00:53:29
there. Is Is that all you've got or is
00:53:32
just or you going to Is that pretty much
00:53:34
what he said?
00:53:34
>> Yeah.
00:53:35
>> But I I thought later it was to see if I
00:53:38
would blink,
00:53:39
>> you know. But I I had a rough childhood.
00:53:41
I know yours was a peaches and cream.
00:53:43
>> It really was.
00:53:44
>> So I had I had a lot of anger in me that
00:53:47
I would translate into competitiveness.
00:53:49
like sometimes like I had a little bit
00:53:52
of like okay
00:53:54
>> I saw that audition that you're talking
00:53:56
about it's online somewhere and you were
00:53:58
really funny I remember that and I
00:54:00
remember thinking wow he's really that's
00:54:01
really tough you were you were like um I
00:54:03
remember there was like a microphone
00:54:04
like oh penis you started doing
00:54:08
penis yeah it was an easy one to do I
00:54:11
always I felt like I kind of bombed I
00:54:13
felt very nervous but you know part of
00:54:15
standup and show business is hiding
00:54:17
nerves right
00:54:19
>> just that's Well, I think his argument
00:54:21
is, well, when it's live to the world,
00:54:23
we don't need you freezing up.
00:54:24
>> I I I I think that's a legit thing for
00:54:27
him to do.
00:54:28
>> Sort of true. I just think that if you
00:54:31
if the government mandated that that you
00:54:34
you would do Saturday Night Live, you
00:54:36
you would have flourished because you
00:54:37
you get desensitized. It just takes
00:54:40
time.
00:54:40
>> There's al Yeah, there's also once you
00:54:41
have a job, some people and I think I'm
00:54:43
like once I have a job, I I relax. It's
00:54:45
more like the trying to get the job or
00:54:48
just There's Lauren. this thing when I
00:54:49
came on there was just the original cast
00:54:51
and then there's the Billy Crystal,
00:54:52
Eddie Murphy years. So there was the
00:54:54
legacy was only 10 years old. So imagine
00:55:03
>> I think you saved the show because I
00:55:06
love you.
00:55:07
>> No, I mean I really if you think about
00:55:09
that show is dead.
00:55:11
>> I mean no you elevated it.
00:55:14
>> You saved it again.
00:55:16
I you on the air.
00:55:20
>> It's the baton, but I was like here
00:55:22
Adam, here Chris.
00:55:24
>> I can't even argue that it was so good
00:55:26
on there. I want
00:55:27
>> also that time. I don't remember anyone
00:55:29
talking about it. I mean, Robert Downey
00:55:31
Jr. was in the cast.
00:55:33
>> Yeah. Did you overlap with him?
00:55:35
>> No, I was right after that purge year
00:55:38
where Madonna did the cold opening, my
00:55:40
first show saying that last year was
00:55:42
just a dream. It never happened.
00:55:44
>> Oh, is that what she did? Yeah, cuz it
00:55:46
was like Yeah. going to
00:55:48
>> Iron Man for your laughs. He's great,
00:55:50
but like
00:55:50
>> But I was nervous as hell and I had
00:55:52
shitty shows and you know, it was just
00:55:54
you do get used to it, but it it
00:55:56
>> there is an aggression to it. It's a
00:55:58
rock and roll show. It's it's like
00:55:59
aggressive.
00:56:00
>> It was scary being uh e being an extra
00:56:03
and they're like counting down and all
00:56:05
the extras get nervous. I thought I'd
00:56:07
really made it or something and they
00:56:08
sent all the extras into the um
00:56:11
Donahghue room and they're like, "You
00:56:12
stay in here. don't look at the cast in
00:56:15
the eye.
00:56:16
>> We're going to come in here every 20
00:56:17
minutes and beat you with a stick and
00:56:19
you could feel like, oh, we're
00:56:21
>> I remember when Kyle came right up to me
00:56:22
and he said, "Hey, you accidentally
00:56:25
switched me in the booth during Gap
00:56:26
Girls and can you just go ahead and fix
00:56:28
that cuz it's harder for me to be on
00:56:30
camera." Actually, you were in the one
00:56:31
of my favorite Gaff Girls ever sketches
00:56:33
I ever did.
00:56:33
>> I know. It's funny. I have a memory of
00:56:35
being there. Unreal.
00:56:36
>> And that was You were there as David's
00:56:38
friend. You were friends at that point?
00:56:40
>> No, I didn't know him.
00:56:40
>> Oh, didn't know him?
00:56:41
>> I was in the booth with him.
00:56:42
>> Yeah. No, you were in the booth.
00:56:44
>> Not with us, but you were in the booth
00:56:46
right on camera.
00:56:47
>> With your friend?
00:56:47
>> Oh, with my buddy. That's what you said.
00:56:49
>> Yeah, we just flip-fpped sides to the
00:56:51
back of my head.
00:56:51
>> I'm sure he iced you once and he was on
00:56:53
camera. He said once Farley sat down
00:56:54
though, his acting career was 100% over
00:56:57
because it was funny. Funny. Then
00:56:59
>> yeah,
00:56:59
>> Farley shifted or something and he just
00:57:01
it was like an eclipse.
00:57:02
>> Yeah, it was over.
00:57:05
>> Arnold said that about Danny Deo. You
00:57:07
never get Danny never have him sit down
00:57:09
because he loses the energy. You go to
00:57:11
keep Danny,
00:57:13
you know, you got to pump him up. Yeah.
00:57:15
>> Oh, you you must do Arnold, of course.
00:57:17
Who did you do? Who do you want to do?
00:57:19
>> Who are your favorites that you do? You
00:57:20
guys,
00:57:21
>> did you do anything on Amy Schumer?
00:57:22
>> I'm going to do my voice. I have a blank
00:57:24
voice. Hi, I'm Dana. He has a voice.
00:57:27
>> He has a he kind of a cool
00:57:30
throwaway thing that I I start to do and
00:57:32
I don't think about it.
00:57:34
>> Throw away a thing.
00:57:35
>> Can you get to his timber though?
00:57:36
Because he has kind of a This is David
00:57:38
Spade, everybody. He has kind of a
00:57:40
timber that's a lower register.
00:57:42
>> It's more of a laziness
00:57:44
>> cuz my jaw always hurts my neck. So I
00:57:46
don't move my mouth down. Hey ladies
00:57:50
just sexy. There's only one word to
00:57:52
describe it.
00:57:54
>> When you were on Amy Schumer, you were a
00:57:56
writer and did you We'll get you out of
00:57:58
here soon. I know.
00:57:58
>> Yeah. What's Amy Schumer?
00:57:59
>> Was it a Was it fun to be a writer on
00:58:01
that? Was it good? You wrote some good
00:58:03
sketches. It was pretty much a heyday
00:58:05
for her show, right?
00:58:06
>> It was a big big show.
00:58:07
>> Big show. Yeah, it was a really good
00:58:09
schedule, too, because we'd come in and
00:58:11
have like really basic pitches like this
00:58:14
is a guy owns a hamburger shop, but he's
00:58:16
afraid of hamburgers or whatever. That'd
00:58:17
be your whole pitch. Three and five. And
00:58:19
then they go, "Okay, write ham scared
00:58:21
hamburger guy and this other sketch."
00:58:24
And we'd go home for 3 days and we'd
00:58:26
send it in on Thursday.
00:58:27
>> Oh, really?
00:58:27
>> And then on Friday we get notes and then
00:58:29
we'd fix it. So it's like we lived
00:58:31
lives.
00:58:32
>> Oh, you didn't smart cuz then we had
00:58:35
sweat and fear like we did. So you got
00:58:38
trained to be a sketch writer on that
00:58:39
show. But they hired you from your
00:58:41
standup or how or you just hired me from
00:58:44
standup.
00:58:44
>> So there was no crazy audition with Amy
00:58:47
there going
00:58:47
>> Did you worm your way?
00:58:48
>> Audition me. I don't know if you've
00:58:49
heard what happens.
00:58:51
>> Yes.
00:58:52
>> What? What? What are you talking about?
00:58:54
We want to trend. We want We never
00:58:56
trend.
00:58:57
>> No, but um she's funny.
00:58:59
>> We would love you be on the show, Amy.
00:59:01
>> Yeah. Did you get on the show? Did you
00:59:03
do anything on the show? Yeah,
00:59:04
originally it was it was uh yeah, I was
00:59:06
uh yeah, I was on a few um things.
00:59:10
>> Okay. Could you have a softer answer? Um
00:59:12
and then um
00:59:15
I was uh
00:59:17
>> Hi, I was on the show. We'll be right
00:59:18
back.
00:59:19
>> What was the highlight so far then? cuz
00:59:21
you I When did you just [ __ ] destroy
00:59:24
at a club or a gig that you went Okay,
00:59:27
cuz I've seen some uh I think you were
00:59:29
Toronto comedy festival or Montreal and
00:59:33
you're destroying just standup.
00:59:35
>> You saw me there?
00:59:36
>> No, I saw it on YouTube.
00:59:37
>> Oh. Oh,
00:59:38
>> I mean it was kind of destruction. I I
00:59:41
remember
00:59:42
>> Thanks.
00:59:43
>> Um yeah, stand up.
00:59:45
>> Have you ever destroyed or are you not
00:59:46
remembering this?
00:59:47
>> Dana said I just destroyed. Yeah, I I
00:59:48
think he must have destroyed because I
00:59:50
look at the talent and then I think of
00:59:51
the number of times on stage. I mean,
00:59:52
what are the odds?
00:59:54
>> He's got killed a couple years ago
00:59:57
somewhere.
00:59:58
>> I'm not going to follow you. If we go
00:59:59
out on a little fun night, David likes
01:00:01
to hit the clubs
01:00:03
and then after that was Kyle Dunigan.
01:00:06
And now Dana Farfo, the living museum
01:00:08
piece. That's what I do. He's still
01:00:11
alive. Let's bring him out. No, you do.
01:00:13
The longer you stay around, you become a
01:00:15
museum piece.
01:00:20
I followed Seinfeld the other day. Can
01:00:21
>> I get a picture, too?
01:00:23
>> Seinfeld goes, "I'm going to go do some
01:00:24
new stuff." I go, "All right." And I'm
01:00:26
like, "Oh, this is great news. Maybe
01:00:28
he'll bomb." You know,
01:00:29
>> you're going to follow Jerry Seinfeld.
01:00:31
>> It was just at the improv. He just came
01:00:32
up and he goes, "I'm going to do a set.
01:00:34
You want to go on and you want me to go
01:00:35
on?" I go, "Why don't you go and then
01:00:37
you can get out of here?" And uh we shot
01:00:39
the [ __ ] for a bit. He was go try some
01:00:41
stuff. And then when I followed him, I
01:00:43
go, "Um, I think that stuff's working."
01:00:46
I don't know. I think it's done. You
01:00:48
fixed it. It's
01:00:48
>> It's not really amateur hour.
01:00:51
>> No one works harder than
01:00:53
>> Louis as well. But just as far as just
01:00:55
writing, just writing,
01:00:57
>> of course.
01:00:58
>> Yeah.
01:00:59
>> I I I did the comedy seller and it was
01:01:01
it was Jerry Seinfeld went up, then
01:01:03
Robin Williams, and then Chris Rock, and
01:01:06
then I was next.
01:01:08
>> This is
01:01:09
>> Well, that would be a tough
01:01:10
>> after Robin died. Before when was it?
01:01:12
>> It was just after he died.
01:01:13
>> That's a tough spot.
01:01:15
There's a test box. Look at this.
01:01:19
>> Oh, the leprechaun man. All right, my
01:01:20
last story.
01:01:21
>> Lollipop.
01:01:24
>> We represent the Lollipop Guild.
01:01:27
>> No, Robin was Oh, the fly.
01:01:29
>> I was doing the improv
01:01:32
>> and the uh they said, you know, I hosted
01:01:34
it a lot when I was in the beginning
01:01:36
>> before SNL and all that just to get on
01:01:37
stage. I mean, of course, they go Bud
01:01:39
would say, "David, why don't you uh
01:01:42
budget?
01:01:42
>> You want to stay in the halls? Don't
01:01:44
stand in the halls." and he goes, "Do
01:01:45
you want to host one night?" It's not
01:01:48
about the money, it's the honor. And I
01:01:49
was like, "Right, do I get a pineapple
01:01:51
chicken dinner at least?"
01:01:52
>> Because I'd have to eat there because I
01:01:53
have no money. So, I was now and then
01:01:56
they'd have a showcase night. So, they
01:01:57
had me do seven minutes for Star Search
01:01:59
or, you know, whoever. And I'm standing
01:02:02
there waiting
01:02:04
>> and uh it's a good crowd. It's packed
01:02:06
and I'm next. And the guy's finishing
01:02:08
up. He got the light. And then behind
01:02:10
me, I hear her
01:02:12
>> touch shoulder. David's face. And I go,
01:02:15
"Oh, hey, Robin." I don't know Robin
01:02:16
really well at all. I met him through
01:02:18
Bobcat.
01:02:18
>> And I go, "Oh, hey." And then it hit me,
01:02:20
"You're not [ __ ] going to go on, you
01:02:23
know." And he goes, "I'm just going to
01:02:24
jump on real quick." I go, "Of course."
01:02:26
And then he went on, did 45.
01:02:28
>> Mhm.
01:02:28
>> And he annihilated, raped, and pillaged.
01:02:31
And then
01:02:32
>> and while I I was like a salmon because
01:02:34
he walked off and the whole crowd left
01:02:35
with him. And I was trying to get into
01:02:37
the street like the pi piper.
01:02:40
>> Yeah. I was like, "Excuse me, pardon
01:02:41
me." Like bug is funny. And I finally
01:02:42
get the stage. just about 18 people out
01:02:45
of the whole club and
01:02:46
>> and all the people that went to see me
01:02:48
laugh. They're like, "Ah, it's not going
01:02:49
to get any better than that."
01:02:50
>> I had one run in with Bud where I was
01:02:52
the comic strip in New York and I was
01:02:53
eating Chinese food and he goes, "Hey,
01:02:55
can I have a little bit of that?" And I
01:02:57
go, "No." And he goes, "I don't know who
01:03:00
you are, but you'll never work in LA."
01:03:03
>> And who?
01:03:03
>> I thought he was joking. I was joking
01:03:05
back. And he may have been joking. I
01:03:06
still don't know this day. But
01:03:07
>> you who was talking to you Freeman
01:03:11
comic strip. Yeah. I thought we were
01:03:12
kind of
01:03:13
>> take it outside. I did them on SNL
01:03:15
didn't do very well. Take it outside.
01:03:17
Take it outside. The Monle did kind of
01:03:19
bomb, but
01:03:21
>> just for the fans listening, Robin
01:03:22
Williams, I got to know him really well
01:03:24
the last five, 10 years of his life cuz
01:03:26
he moved up to Marin where I was raising
01:03:27
my kids,
01:03:28
>> played a little local theater. Yeah.
01:03:30
This shiaest, sweetest, the the
01:03:33
dichotomy between the powerhouse on
01:03:34
stage and to me it's like Elvis charisma
01:03:37
because he was so introverted, so shy
01:03:39
and so differential. called everyone
01:03:41
boss. Okay, boss. All right, boss. And
01:03:43
then he would go on stage and he had
01:03:45
such likability and to me he was like a
01:03:49
Shakespearean actor coming on stage as
01:03:51
if he had nothing. So he he created this
01:03:54
whole cuz he was always saying, "Oh, did
01:03:55
I take anything from you?" He was always
01:03:57
making amends. I said, "No, I I tried to
01:03:59
be you. I stole your whole act, you
01:04:01
know."
01:04:01
>> Yeah.
01:04:02
>> And uh but he walks on like he's got
01:04:04
nothing. And then he's
01:04:06
>> even the improv it's a rolodex of like
01:04:09
if I think of this I do have a joke
01:04:10
about that.
01:04:11
>> Yeah.
01:04:11
>> If you say this
01:04:12
>> in his commitment you know he pick up a
01:04:14
little plastic thing. Oh, you know
01:04:17
>> there was this one time I think it was
01:04:18
Albert Brooks that says set Robin it's
01:04:20
okay because when Robin would get on he
01:04:23
couldn't stop himself but
01:04:25
>> anyway. All right. Well enough enough
01:04:26
about Kyle. Let's um

01:07:32
>> You first. I like the beginning when
01:07:34
everyone said Kyle was funny. Then the
01:07:36
beginning got a little weird when Kyle
01:07:39
was talking. Then the end was nice when
01:07:41
people said Kyle was funny.
01:07:44
>> That's a good summary.
