things like that. And then we got our our friend Jimmy Fallon. And speaking of
00:00:13
Jimmy Fallon, yeah, Stephen Coar, obviously he's in his

final year, Goodbye Tour. That's I think it's till May. Yeah. Uh then we've got
00:00:24
Seth. We've got, you know, we know most of these guys. And uh Jimmy Fallon is probably the one I'm closest with. uh uh
00:00:31
out in New York. I see him every time I go. And we had a great show with Jimmy Fallon. What a blast. And a lot of

going to crack up. He came loaded. He was ready to go. Yeah, he he got his guitar out and and wrote our quas theme
00:00:58
song of fly as Neil Young. Fly on the wall. Anyway, if I if I when I think of Jimmy
00:01:03
Fallon people, is he the same backstage in front of the camera? Exactly the same. He's just a personal oneman party
00:01:09
traveling around the earth. Yeah, he had a great Neil Young Bob
00:01:15
Dylan riff. He he ca he he came to play and sometimes you get people on an off day. We got him on an on day. He tries,
00:01:22
you know, When you get these people on a talk show, sometimes they walk through it. He did not.
00:01:28
No, no, it was just just pure fun. Here's my all crack up. My impression of Jimmy Fallon sees a

00:05:11
feel like I've told it all." David said, "We've tortured you enough. We got we got a guest going downtown. D
00:05:18

00:05:24

00:05:42
We just It's we Oh, yeah. We do it we do an intro at the
00:05:48
beginning where we kiss your ass when you're not here." Oh, good. And then um but listen, Dana, here's a
00:05:54
funny story about me and Jimmy. Uh about you and Jimmy.
00:06:00
It's Jimmy on IMDb. It says I'm one of Jimmy's friends. That's nice. That's true.
00:06:05
I put it on there. The Rolodex king, David. And when I go to New York, Jimmy, the
00:06:11
three comedians I call are Jimmy and Chris Rock and Quinn. And one time about
00:06:17
a year ago, we all that's a fun group. So, we all try to rally. You know, Jimmy's really good at rallying out.
00:06:23
Jimmy's so busy and he always rallies for dinner or something. So, we went out
00:06:28
to Liller and um Oh, Jimmy, you were shooting at Coney Island or something and you go, "I'll try to get over after
00:06:36
I'm done with It was like an hour away from But that restaurant was so loud that night. Do you remember?" Yeah, I know. Yeah. I hate it. Here was
00:06:42
the other Here's the other catch. So, first of all, you somehow I go I go, "Guys, Jimmy might come if he can." And
00:06:48
you beat me there. That was one funny part. And then when we when we're in the middle of dinner and I'm just plotting
00:06:54
how I'm not going to pay most of the dinner. That's all I think about. And then we all leave Jimmy. And then you
00:07:01
remember two days later, what do we see on Twitter? Oh yeah. Chris Rock announces on Twitter he has co
00:07:08
we we don't get a text. We don't get a phone phone call. So Spade Spade and I call each other and Spade's like, "Wait,
00:07:15
do do we have to follow Chris on Twitter to find out that we might we might have luckily I do follow him
00:07:20
and I do hear about that online." Yeah. And then we asked him, he's like, "What?" Yeah.
00:07:25
You read about it, didn't you? I go, "Well, yeah, but that was insane." Between a rock and a hard place. Good
00:07:32
night. Yeah, it was never been done before. I think that's the whole story. Most of that story was just to say we had dinner. Do you end up Do you end up using any
00:07:38
bits from the dinners whenever we hang out? Uh, it's sort of it's sort of a compilation of what all you guys said
00:07:44
and it goes into my act. Well, John Melany said on this podcast
00:07:50
he's looking for stories and David does that, too. Like if someone follows him
00:07:56
at a McDonald's, he's got a 10-minute chunk. So, he likes stories. Yeah. He's a storyteller.
00:08:01
Guy asked me straight up for my McNuggets. Straight up. No [ __ ] Just give me your McNuggets. Yeah, why not?
00:08:06
He's going to go into it. And I said, "Fuck no, I stood my ground, Jimmy. You think I'm a [ __ ] but I stood my ground.
00:08:12
No, didn't you? You gave him one. I gave him one. Yeah, I know the story. No, Jimmy. I know.
00:08:18
He knows the story. Legendary. It's legendary. It's on It's on your IMDb page. Let's see if we Let's see if we can do
00:08:24
something about Jimmy's beginnings that he's never been asked. That's kind of interesting. Might be impossible.
00:08:30
I did a deep dive. You did? I can't believe I mean, I love both of you guys so much. I can't even tell you. I I want to go into your career and your
00:08:38
stuff and everything you've done to influence me. Uh, you know, I wanted to be Dana Carvey. I I wanted to be that's
00:08:46
my whole reason for getting on Sant Live and that was my whole thing. Oh, you said David Spade wrong.
00:08:53
I think that's age it's that's age related because David
00:08:59
Well, I wanted to be I was sitting behind Reather with a knife. Well, yeah. You were there was you were
00:09:04
my you were my surrogate. You were my standin. Sometimes I do the church chat rehearsals. David had to get the dress
00:09:10
on and sit in there for camera blocking which I thought just for a few minutes. Can you sit in there? Dana's resting.
00:09:15
But Jimmy, you were 12 when I got on SNL. And that's what I call the peak
00:09:21
formative year. It's like when I was listening to Monty Python or whatever gets in your brain at that age and
00:09:27
through high school. So I I appreciate you, bro. Thank you. I I can't tell you how much I would I I was such a SNL
00:09:34
nerd. I would uh I would record it every Saturday night. I would be by myself. I wouldn't be uh I didn't want friends
00:09:41
over. I didn't want anyone around me, my parents. I didn't want anyone near me. I just wanted to study the show and watch it. And I I videotape it. Then I
00:09:47
remember like my favorite sketches. And then I would go to parties like uh whatever on the next week or whatever.
00:09:53
And I would bring videotapes with me with the best clips of SNL. Like I was like a human uh YouTube. uh just going
00:10:01
or watch this part and watch this thing. But I mean I was like I loved uh chopping broccoli.
00:10:06
There she went downtown. But can I tell you
00:10:14
she's a lady I know. If I didn't know her, she'd be I didn't know. Did you ever put
00:10:21
that out? Like is that out on Spotify or something? No. So, the only thing I want to say, which was mindblowing
00:10:28
a few years back when I did your show and then I just it wasn't my idea, but
00:10:33
all of a sudden they go, "Uh, Jimmy wants to do Chop and Broccoli with an orchestra."
00:10:38
Remember that? It was [ __ ] crazy. So, that was the mic drop of Chop Bro. There was a string orchestra
00:10:45
and then I was playing John Barkley on a Baby Gran. I had a terrible hair day cuz New York water just flattened it. But
00:10:51
anyway, that's just my but I chopped broccoli and I took it really far. She
00:10:56
chop she chop she that's 20 that's a 20minut bit in my
00:11:02
standup as you can imagine but anyway that's so you Jimmy we do have a a kis there's a connection to this musicality
00:11:10
of what we do and the way you do impressions and everything. I brought a guitar I mean I'm in my
00:11:15
office so will you play something for us? That'd be that'd be awesome. You know, Dana, while while Jimmy's futsing around, I
00:11:21
have to say that if you're on SNL and you can play an instrument, Jimmy's like the perfect SNL guy, he plays an
00:11:28
instrument. He's marginally good-looking. He um voted sexiest one of the
00:11:35
He was voted one of the tallest hosts u of the year. And he he's got a
00:11:41
harmonic [ __ ] guy. I know for the people at home, he's I know he's going to do that supernatural. Well, he's either going to
00:11:47
do he's going to do one of three. Either Dylan, Lennon, or Springsteen, which are all brilliant.
00:11:52
Dillian Dylan's one, but I thought maybe Neil Young, too. Oh, Neil Young. Deal. Yeah, just give me
00:11:58
anything. This This I'm being now by my guest. Neil Young play the harmonica like he
00:12:04
plays it differently than Dylan. Did Neil Young plays harmonica like with the song? So, he's like
00:12:09
[Music]
00:12:16
There there something changed. Yeah, it's good now. Yeah. Can you hear it now?
00:12:22
Now we hear it. Perfect. Okay. All right. So, like Neil Young Neil Young plays the harmonica like with
00:12:27
the the Yeah. With the with the with the notes. Yeah.
00:12:34
So it's like
00:12:40
[Music] David and Dana
00:12:46
sitting in a tree. Dana and Dave
00:12:51
were just a fly on the wall down the hall of SN.
00:12:59
That's pretty good. SN
00:13:05
Dana and Dave. Anyone ever call you Dave? Some people do. You have to get you have
00:13:11
to get in the real tight circles. And then Dylan's faster. Dylan's like,
00:13:17
"Yeah." And a lot of up and back. But he hits the highest note of the harmonica and just screams it. So like
00:13:23
Yeah. [Music]
00:13:29
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
00:13:38
Come on.
00:13:43
He runs out of stuff. He hits the harmonica. Yeah, exactly. When you run that lyrics, have you heard Rough and Ready? His
00:13:50
latest album, Rough and Ready. Bob Dylan. Yes. God, it's brilliant. So, is it good? soon after midnight is a
00:13:57
masterpiece. But he's got his new voice which is well he that's what I mean that this other voice I don't I haven't really
00:14:02
tried to do it but it's pretty special. It's really soon after midnight and I got a date
00:14:09
with a fairy queen with a fairy queen. I love seeing him in see him in concert
00:14:14
because sometimes he doesn't feel like performing and he's just out there and he's going like
00:14:22
and I'm like oh man this is weird and then he's like how does it feel and you go oh I love this song
00:14:30
that's what he was singing the whole time he accidentally stumbles into a hit and then he's like mad he did because he's
00:14:36
not torturing you enough one of our friends just saw Dylan here in LA three nights ago ago and was
00:14:42
taking bootleg clips. But uh I guess it's I guess it's interesting, but I think they said he did like a 45minute
00:14:50
song. I got a pop quiz for Jimmy and David. What is the one song from his big hip
00:14:57
hits in the 60s where he stylizes his voice
00:15:02
in a in a certain way? Lay Lady Lay. Yep. Now, and I know you can do that.
00:15:08
Now, let me guess now. It's Kermit the Frog a little bit. Yeah.
00:15:18
My big fan. But I love that he experimented with that. He's like, "This could be my
00:15:24
voice." Yeah, I know. And then it wasn't. But it was a big hit. And then like Neil Young.
00:15:30
Oh, huge. Neil Young kind of had it one song where he was more rocking and then
00:15:35
he realized his high voice was where it's at cuz no one has that voice. Like I love rocking in the free world.
00:15:42
Yeah. [Music]
00:15:48
Did you do impressions of everyone on the staff of SNO? Not really.
00:15:54
Like who would be the big ones? Higgins. Uh, Mike Shoemaker, Marcy Klein,
00:16:00
I mean, could you do cast members? Could you do Spade? Hey, buddy.
00:16:09
Yeah, I'm not going to be reduced to noises today, gentlemen. So, I was
00:16:15
opening the door. I walked in.
00:16:20
David is an actual good sound effect guy, but he doesn't lean on it. It just comes out. They're woven in Jimmy. I do
00:16:28
you. You do. I just do a sound just sort of go. Yeah.
00:16:37
Me. It's when you're very very excited. Sound very excited.
00:16:44
It's just a a sound of exuberance, which I was thinking today. Here's a compliment.
00:16:49
You remind me of the Beatles. Oh, Jesus. Wow. the early Beatles because what they
00:16:56
you told me I reminded you of Kaja Goo. You were kind of a Shaka Khan. But
00:17:02
anyway, we'll talk later with because the early Beatles just just projected so
00:17:08
much fun and joy. It was just irresistible. And that's what you do.
00:17:13
I appreciate it. You know, it's very it's the same sort of thing, you know, growing up in Liverpool, we live we live
00:17:20
at Puddly Puddlians, you know, and we'd never eat pudding, you know, and you think we'd have a li pudding, you know,
00:17:27
but that's what pudding is different, you know, in England. It's not the same, you know, it's not chocolate, you know,
00:17:32
vanilla, you know, strawberry. The whole town was just eating pudding, you know, because it was called Little
00:17:37
Pudding. The whole town we're called Little Pies. The whole town was eating pudding, you know. I'd ring up George. So, you want to go
00:17:42
get some pudding? I go some, right? John would come Joe would come over, hit me over there with his guitar like,
00:17:48
"Let's go get some pudding." And that's how we wrote paperback rider.
00:17:54
Joe would just come in and bang me on the head. Turn into paperback rider.
00:17:59
He smashed you with a guitar. We'd sit for a punk and that's how we Joe would come in. He'd hit me over the
00:18:06
head, you know, and say, "Let's go get some pudding." That's how he wrote uh
00:18:11
that's how he wrote the whites album. You know what the funny part I haven't he banged
00:18:16
me he popped me over the head with his guitar. He said we started plunking. Let's do a plunker. You know we got into
00:18:22
a song. So we didn't know what we were going to do. So I looked at George you know I hit George over the head with the guitar and next thing you know we have
00:18:29
you know Sergeant Pepper and you know John and Paul were the primary songwriters.
00:18:35
Peace and love. Of course they were the great they were peace and love. They were peace. They were which one was
00:18:41
peace and which one was love. We switched back and forth. They weren't me brothers. Sometimes John
00:18:46
was love. Sometimes John was peace and then sometimes Paul would be love and
00:18:52
then I'd say, "Hey, love." And they both turn around and I'd bunk him over the head with a guitar. And that's how we wrote Octopus's Garden.
00:18:59
You came up with that. Octopus. That was good. We were lost. We made you remember you
00:19:06
made me laugh last time you were on. I was giving your intros and uh I was like he's blah blah blah. He won he's an Emmy
00:19:13
award-winning uh actor and I go is that is that right Spade? And you were right
00:19:18
behind the curtain. You go yeah. Yeah, that's right. That's it. That's that tone David uses.
00:19:24
No, I do. There's a lot more going on with me. Um, I can't be reduced to
00:19:30
simple noises and and Yeah, I was the most complex comedian in the planet.
00:19:36
Yeah, but thank you. I remember we went to that one that that thing that event
00:19:44
we went to this event for Howard with Howard Stern. Oh, I did standup. Yeah. And I was like, "David, could you
00:19:51
do the the bit the skiing bit?" And you're like, "Oh, right." You're like, "Dude, I don't I don't take requests." But like
00:19:58
No, I did take requests and I did do it. You did do it. That was fun. It was a charity gig and you were uh That was so fun. It was
00:20:04
scary cuz there was a lot of people. You crushed that night. It was unbelievable. But the ski crushes, man.
00:20:09
What was the skiing bit? Cuz they're like your friends want to go on the black diamonds uh trails and you don't.
00:20:15
You're like, I don't want to. I'm afraid of that. I don't like like I want to go. Well, they say it's easier to teach you if we all go down from the
00:20:21
top, but it's just to ditch me. So, I say, "No, I got the map. I want to go down the green ones. We're going to
00:20:27
stop. We're going to start on Pop-Tart." And then they go, "No, we're going down Devil's Ball Sack. Here we go." And I
00:20:33
go, "No, no, no. That's a hard one. We're going down. Listen, I mapped out. We're going to go down Jelly Bean
00:20:40
into uh Kitten Paw. Kitten Paw. And then uh Puppy Love and
00:20:47
then Mother Goose. It's sort of challenging but not overwhelming. Nope. Hitler's abortion. Here we go. Two by
00:20:52
two. One line. I go, "No, no, no. We're going down Hitler's abortion is the name of the trail." That one sounds hard. Yeah, that one.
00:20:59
Listen, it's always good to work the word abortion into your act. It's always great. Always put a smile on everyone's face.
00:21:06
But did you do Norm? Did you do Impressions of Norm?
00:21:11
Hey. Oh, yeah. No, Norm. We we we did a gig. Um
00:21:18
I think I told Dana this or maybe I told Dennis, we did a gig, me, Dennis Miller, and Norm did a gig right before the
00:21:24

00:27:44
we can make a zipline out of the vines and just zipline down to the place that's right we forgot those keys so we

00:28:22
remember the catchphrase we had when I hosted in like 1999? You You were
00:28:27
I know what it is. This is where I knew Jimmy and I had the same sense of humor cuz I was a running gag of me being cocky uh you know, Hans.
00:28:35
So, the whole idea was and the show was doing fine, but the all week long I I
00:28:40
would just say in reference to the current SNL, so long golden era.

00:32:58

00:33:05
That is Oh, that is casual Sandler. Old standup voice is good. Old Sandler like the C.
00:33:12
That is a brilliant observation. I I remember I I was buzzing into my grandma's apartment. I'm pressing the
00:33:18
buzzer and she's like, "Who is this? Who is there?" And I said, "It's it's Adam. It's Adam, your grandson."
00:33:24
Who? Charles Manson. Oh, yeah. Charles Manson. Oh, I don't want you to come in.
00:33:29
I don't want Charles Manson. I don't want that. I don't want I don't
00:33:35
want Oh, yeah. I had I had Vick My I was sick. My mom was
00:33:41
rubbing that Vix uh cold stuff on my chest and then her eyes connected and I
00:33:46
go, "Hey, Mom. We're just friends, right? That's a good bit." Oh my goodness. That's a That's his bit, but I can't get
00:33:52
his voice. You're doing the voice, right? How do you do How do you do Smiggle? Smiggle's close to Sandler.
00:33:58
Smiggle. Interesting. because he he's like, "All right, Jamie." He's kind of like Sam.
00:34:04
Very low key. Yeah. Very low key. Let me hear. I was thinking, "Well, I was You want to
00:34:10
You want to try that? That's That's good. You right." He says, "Laughing." Yeah. Little whisper. Hey.
00:34:15
Oh, here's my smile, Jimmy. When I'm pitching him when I was at SNL and I'd p go in his little three- foot wide office
00:34:22
where they're writing killer sketches and I'd knock and go, "Hey, do you want to help me with this?" And he goes, "Uh,
00:34:28
what is it?" And he has a nervous laugh because he doesn't want to do my sketch. So I go, "It's about a guy who does this
00:34:33
this." And he goes, "Uh, I don't I don't think I I don't think I
00:34:38
could do that. I don't I don't think I like that one." In the nicest way, laughing at you.
00:34:44
He's so nice, but he's kind of laughing nervously like, "How do I tell him?" Yeah, he's great. And he would just look off into space
00:34:50
and start laughing. You ever see him do that where he's just he's in the room and he's just staring at at at the wall
00:34:55
or something and laughing looking up. I I love making him laugh though because when you do make him laugh. I made him
00:35:01
laugh once. He never put it in a sketch, but it was like how does uh Dracula what if Dracula was a comedy
00:35:08
writer and he was like uh judging the the the laughs? So it's like he's like uh
00:35:15
mwah. And then you tell another joke. He go
00:35:22
blah blah muah. I mean I I like the the other one where do you do the muh
00:35:27
and they go how about this joke mwaha that's mwaha it's like judging that but
00:35:33
I was at once we did it he does those charity things they're really great night of too many stars for autism
00:35:41
and I did a I did a bit with Tina Fay and we were in radio city or someplace and it had an
00:35:47
orchestra pit in the front and uh he came out and um he had a laptop with him
00:35:52
and He's, you know, he's got his glasses on. I go, "Uh, uh, what are you doing? What's up? What are you doing, Smiggle?"
00:35:58
And he goes, "Oh, I'm uh I'm changing all the uh I'm changing all the [ __ ] to shits because we're airing on Comedy
00:36:04
Central, so we can't say dirty words. So, I'm changing all the the [ __ ] to shits or I go, "Uh, oh, cool. Whatever."
00:36:11
So, I'm doing our bit with me and Tina, and I see Smigo backing up, and he's typing in this thing, and he backs up,
00:36:17
and he falls into the orchestra. Oh, he falls like 6 ft down into the I go, "Holy crap." I run over.
00:36:24
I go, "Smichel, are you okay, dude? What's up? Are you He looked like a like a Jerry Lewis would look like if he
00:36:30
fell. It was like a like an out like aalk a chalk outline of a body. His glasses were broken and the laptop was
00:36:36
in three pieces." And I ran down. I go, "Dude, oh my god, are you okay, buddy?" And he goes, without missing a beat, he
00:36:43
goes, "Uh, change all the [ __ ] to shit."
00:36:49
Oh my god. That's too funny. By the way, what a dumb note. Like, no one's
00:36:54
offended by [ __ ] Like, that was his last words, you know? Wow, that was I'm going to laugh about that even more later. That's going to go
00:37:00
through my head today. So funny, man. So, Robert, he is so [ __ ] obsessed.
00:37:08
[Music] I went to a concert with Lauren. We went
00:37:13
to go see uh Sting and Paul Simon and uh
00:37:18
and it was it was an amazing concert. So they're playing together, Paul Simon and Sting. And Paul Simon,
00:37:24
you know, is probably in his 70s, I think. And so he just looks like Paul Simon in his 70s and Sting is next to
00:37:30
him and he's just jacked. He's got muscles and his he's got like a t-shirt pulled down like a John Barbados
00:37:36
kind of wrinkled and he just looks and he's playing bass and he's just got veins coming out of his muscles. Yes.
00:37:42
And so I I came in I went and got two beers and a couple hot dogs and I gave it to Lauren. I go, "How old is uh
00:37:47
Sting?" And Lauren's like, "He's probably 63 or something." I go, "I I
00:37:53
don't think I ever want to be in that good of shape when I'm 63." And without missing a beat, Lauren goes, "I don't
00:37:58
think you have any problem." You go, "No." He go, "Wait, what's he saying? I'm sorry." He goes, "I don't
00:38:05
think that'll be a problem." So I'm trying to think. I go, "I don't never want to be that I don't want to be that in that good of shape when I'm 62." It's
00:38:12
not something you have to worry about. Yeah, I don't think you have to worry about that. Do you have other laurisms? Cuz I've
00:38:18
done some on this podcast. But he is he's a philosopher. And I don't know sometimes if if they're original cuz
00:38:25
they're so brilliant or he gets them from elsewhere. But do you remember you would do Danny you did guess which Paul?
00:38:32
Oh, he's like well I was having dinner the other night. With Paul? Guess which Paul?
00:38:39
That would be Paul McCartney. Dana. Wrong. Paul Pvenza.
00:38:44
Uh, what's the You know that joke? How do you get to Lauren's house? What's the directions to Lauren Laurens?
00:38:50
I don't know. Uh, you go up to Main Street and then you go right right. That's funny.
00:38:55
All right, Jimmy. Do you feel like the water?
00:39:00
Do I feel like I'm Lauren's best friend? out of all the SNL people, you've worked longer with him if you had
00:39:08
SNL and then the two late show and now so you've worked closely with him
00:39:14
as long as any 25 years or something. Yeah, he's the Yeah, I would say he definitely my best friend, but I mean he
00:39:21
if it wasn't for him, I wouldn't have gotten late night. Uh NBC didn't really want me. They wanted someone else.
00:39:27
God, that's crazy. And uh when I heard you were available and they were thinking how that's so [ __ ] perfect.
00:39:33
I was like if you felt like doing it because you know we were leaving I was leaving SNL and then Conan had signed
00:39:41
something where he was going to get the Tonight Show in like six years or something.
00:39:46
Five years. Yeah. Something like that. Such a [ __ ] up thing. I never heard of that happening. But they didn't want they wanted to keep Jay
00:39:52
but not lose Conan. That was the compromise. Yeah. So, I remember I was leaving and Lauren goes, well, would you ever want
00:39:58
to maybe host a show, you know, you could take over for Conan in 5 years. And I go, I don't know if I would do
00:40:04
that. I mean, I think I'm going to be, you know, big Hollywood star. He's like, but I'm like, I'm going to go do movies
00:40:10
or whatever. He's like, uh, and Tina Fey was in the office and she was like, I think you'd be great at that. You're like Irish and you like to go to bars
00:40:16
and talk to people and talk to everyone. That'll be right up your alley. That's all it takes. Yeah, that's all it takes. and all the
00:40:22
stuff that you you got to do on on the talk shows that weren't totally SNL
00:40:27
friendly. They were just different long dance numbers and we'll go over those in a minute. But but it was like but so so then I go and
00:40:33
I try movies. They didn't work. Uh, and uh, same same and then
00:40:38
I'll tell you something that Sandler had said to me cuz I had Clean Slate and Trapped in Paradise and I know you had too as well and I had things I was
00:40:45
developing with Smiggle and other people but Sandler at one point said to me saddles up and you could do it better.
00:40:50
He goes Carvey uh, they don't they meaning the people making movies that aren't us uh, they don't really know how
00:40:57
to do it. They they don't know they don't really know how to make it where to put the camera to be funny, you know.
00:41:04
Wow. I never forgot that you Yeah, because you said something once I found fascinating. The idea of you get to the
00:41:10
set at 5:30 and you do the thing and the blocking and the master shop by four 10 hours
00:41:16
later you've said the line 150 times, 200 times and now you're going to say it for the movie. Like it's not even
00:41:24
English. I go, dude, I peaked at like 10 in the morning. You want me to be funny now?
00:41:29
I'm so exhausted. I'm like, I can't be funny. And like then it's movies just weren't my thing at all. But then so
00:41:35
then Lauren uh I go he goes 5 years later and he goes uh remember I asked
00:41:40
you that thing. I go yeah. I go well let me ask my wife cuz now I'm married. So I go okay. So I asked Nancy and she's like
00:41:46
you got to do it. You got to do it. Uh I mean look at the list. I mean it's Letterman Conan and you. That's a great
00:41:52
list. You have to do it even if it doesn't work. So she was like I'll move to New York. And so I said yeah I want
00:41:59
to do And then NBC was like, "Yeah, we're not sure. We want to be in the Jimmy Fallon business."
00:42:04
Really? What the [ __ ] After all your SNL stuff and your talk show appearances, when did you host the Video Music
00:42:10
Awards? Cuz I thought you did a great job. I go, "Oh, this is a whole new thing." Like you were perfect for that. Yeah, that was you playing your guitar.
00:42:17
2004, something like that or 2002 or something like that. One of those. Was that during SNL or right after?
00:42:22
That was during SNL. Oh, no. That was right after SNL. That's why I was leaving to to do movies and stuff
00:42:29
cuz that was like a good all But you were you were a smash right away, right? With when you got on that
00:42:34
late night show. I mean, pretty much, right? Well, it it worked. Yeah. It kind of
00:42:39
smash was a strong word, Dana. Yeah, smash is a strong word.
00:42:45
I'll say stuff that I say about Jim Jimmy when he's not around. There's
00:42:50
never been anyone with your range and your your you're you're so uh versatile talent-wise. There's no one. No, no, I'm
00:42:57
going back to Steve Allen. And then also your your liability is is a 12.
00:43:02
And then your interview skills where you make it all about the person, you know, you're just like Carson. So I thought
00:43:09
you were like made out of a factory and then tall and handsome. I was like, and he can play guitar and he does Dylan and
00:43:15
he can do Neil Young better than Neil Young and you two couldn't make it tonight. And he they think they're the
00:43:21
roots in Jimmy are better than you. It's like it goes on and on. So yeah, I felt you were made out of some kind of German
00:43:27
factory. We should make the greatest talk show host in 6'ability.
00:43:37
Shack letting go dancing. I heard from somebody, a little birdie told me that
00:43:44
when you and Justin Timberlake are out there doing all your choreography with the choreographer that No, he can't you
00:43:50
you get it in one take. Like this woman does like 10 steps and you're like, you
00:43:56
can do that, too. So that's my mic drop on complimenting Jimmy Fallon. I'll take the mic drop from Danny Car.
00:44:02
And Jimmy's willing to travel to Coney Island for bits. That's right. when they do like I always
00:44:08
tell them when I come to New York I go so you do the show which is already like a beating just a long day and you have
00:44:14
to be very present and focused and we're going to do this we're we got to rehearse this bit and then sometimes
00:44:19
after the show you travel somewhere and pre-tape something it's like JLo wants to go on the jungle
00:44:25
gym and we got to go to you know Long Island for this bit and then you got to do bumper cars with Chris Hemsworth
00:44:32
30 years in Letterman stopped doing that right when you get to hit 30 you for Christ's sakes into that fourth decade.
00:44:38
I think uh it's a hard out at 5:30. All right. I mean that that's how are you
00:44:44
pacing yourself? I think is the question, right, David? Yeah. Yeah. I don't I think you know it there's something about this that's fun
00:44:51
that that's different than SNL is because it's every day. So you SNL if you did a sketch and it was and it
00:44:58
tanked, you had a week you have a week to be depressed, you know, and you're like, "Oh, that was
00:45:03
awful. So embarrassing." this one. If I do a bit that tanks, I have another show the next day and I go, "Oh, I'll recover
00:45:10
tomorrow." Well, you also have full say like at SNL's read through, then you're crossing your fingers and you get on like a fifth
00:45:15
of what you hand in. If you're there, you like something, it's in. You don't like something, it's out. That's kind of
00:45:21
that's kind of good. At least you go with your strength. You go, I can I think I can make this one work. We got great writers. We're in a good
00:45:27
groove right now. We got some great writers here and good producers. Like, it's like, oh, it's super fun. It's
00:45:32
like, you know, when it's when it's really fun, it's like kind of camp almost like summer camp. Everyone's
00:45:38
together and I got a bit and I got a bit and I got a thing and it's like that's exciting for me. So, every day I come in
00:45:43
and you go like, "Oh, that that's such a dumb idea, but I love it. Let's do it cuz it it'll make me laugh." Right. And when you go on the show, Dana
00:45:50
knows uh for the audience, you're you're very helpful. So, you know, you're it's a fun atmosphere. You get backstage, you
00:45:56
come back, [ __ ] a second and uh and then you go out there and if I'm
00:46:01
stumbling through a bit, you're jumping in helping and making sure everything works. So, all that stuff helps because
00:46:07
yeah, uh you know, you want you want everyone to look good and the show keeps going. But the show keeps going still still still. So, I guess it's just up to you
00:46:14
to figure out one day if it's just too much. Jimmy is the only and I've I've loved all my hosts, Letterman, everybody. Uh
00:46:20
Cronin, all of them. Jimmy is the only one who I literally could go out and throw anything at him. Like I said, any
00:46:28
accent, any bit. He would just start laughing and just go right at it. So that that's that is sing singularly
00:46:35
unique. And the next time I'm in New York, which I got to come out soon because I just want to hang out with you. I'm going to surprise you with
00:46:41
something. Don't tell me what it is. Don't tell me what you're doing. Tell you cuz I might decide when I'm
00:46:48
behind the curtain when you're introducing me, but I did that to We had Jerry Lewis on the show and I did that to him and he didn't
00:46:55
really roll with it. It was It was weird. He was like, "Wait, you want to do this now?" I'm like I'm like, "Let's
00:47:01
have the roose play jazz and you do the jazz bit where like you're you open your mouth and you point that
00:47:06
thing. Oh my god, that's brilliant." I go, "Why not play with it? See if it's fun." And he goes and he goes, "Uh" he goes, "Yeah." He goes,
00:47:13
"You know, it's so weird getting older. I haven't been in the city in so long." Um, actually, you when he came out, he
00:47:19
started doing like old Jerry Lewis voice. So, he was like, I I I first time I was, you know, and he started, it's
00:47:26
really really interesting. I was like, cool. And then he goes, but I'm older now and I'm in So, I'm taking the subway
00:47:31
and I'm on the subway and uh and he goes, um, and I see this kid with dyed
00:47:37
hair. He has a spiked red. He has a red, a green, a blue hair, and these piercings everywhere. Uh, and he's just
00:47:44
look and I'm just looking at him and this kid goes, "Uh, uh, what are you looking at? You got a problem?" I go,
00:47:49
"Oh, wow." Uh, I go, "What'd you say to him?" He goes, "I said, uh, no, just 20 years ago, I had sex with a parrot. I
00:47:55
think you might beat my son." He was like setting me up for a joke the
00:48:01
whole time. It's kind of funny, though. I feel bad for him. I thought that he was getting picked on on the subway and
00:48:06
then he was just setting up this joke. It was really dark. It crushed. It crushed. It crushed. It
00:48:12
was so funny. He's like, "No, I just had sex with a parrot 20 years ago. I think you might be my son."
00:48:17
That's a good weird bit though. And I actually like it's out of left field. I love I had dinner accidentally with the Anenu
00:48:26
in Cinder fella. This we're going back to Jerry Lewis in the mid60s where he is writing, directing,
00:48:32
producing his movies. Yeah. And um it was and then so I did watch
00:48:38
some of it where he does this long dance on the sound stage and it really is a
00:48:44
vant guard. It's it's it's no wonder the uh French love him. It was I appreciated it so much more. I watched it like 6
00:48:51
months ago. I was like damn. So that is Cinderfell the one where he's getting in an argument. He's he's the boss and he's
00:48:57
has a cigar and he's yelling to the jazz. It's the it's the best thing. It's unbelievable. And and and it's it's It would might
00:49:04
have been called self-indulgent then, but now it's like it just keeps going and going and going and it just it's
00:49:09
it's brilliant. Really brilliant. I swear I thought Sandler was talking about doing a remake of Cinderfell in
00:49:14
the old old days. It sounds kind of up his alley. He can he can say that's true or not, but I remember why did I hear
00:49:21
that? I think he really just thought that's was funny. Speed are you doing a new Netflix uh
00:49:27
movie? You know, that's a great question, Jimmy. I'm glad that when I just texted you that you got it. Um
00:49:34
uh cuz you know the wrong Missy was unbelievably funny. It was fantastic. I
00:49:40
loved it. And everyone I recommend everyone I'm like dude you want to laugh watch The Wrong Missy. You won't even believe how
00:49:46
funny. And everyone's like it's the funniest movie ever. The Wrong Missy we stumbled upon and I'm finally there was a rumor at the
00:49:52
beginning you were going to ask us questions but I'm glad it's finally happening. Uh The Wrong Missy
00:49:57
rumor. There's a rumor when you were like I want to ask you guys stuff. And man, that movie did 200 billion minutes or
00:50:03
however they keep track. I mean, it was insane. You know, a billion. It did a billion seconds.
00:50:09
Three billion seconds. And they go, "It's the number one movie in the world." And you're like, "I can't believe it." They're like, "Um, we can't
00:50:15
believe it. That's pretty funny." And then like for a week straight,
00:50:20
they're like, "Number one in the world. Number one in the world." And I'm like, "Who who was the actress that played
00:50:25
Missy?" Lauren Lapis. And she was great. Holy moly, she was funny. Yeah. Jim Carrey S level.
00:50:32
Yes. Like just enough. Just enough to be so funny and not annoying. It was like
00:50:37
Yeah. brilliantly done. She should have uh won an Oscar. She should have won. I honestly, you
00:50:43
know, Jimmy, I was thinking that because when Tiffany Hattish was up for an Oscar for Road Trip, was it? I was thinking,
00:50:49
oh, it is actually possible. Like Lauren could have been up for that cuz I mean it's a dark it's Rrr rated and
00:50:55
stuff, but she was so good and so out of the blue. Never seen anything like it. I was so did so well that I was like what
00:51:02
I it wouldn't surprise me. It would have surprised me because that stuff doesn't happen and it did not.
00:51:07
Who who directed who directed that? What team was it? That was Tyler Spindell. That was uh
00:51:13
from Happy Madison. Yeah, I know. Nephew. Yeah, he's good. He did uh he's doing a new one with Pierce Brozen right
00:51:19
now. But I would do another wrong missy. actually meeting someone today about a
00:51:24
movie with Lauren because Lauren um yeah do do a sequel wrong or missing.
00:51:29
Well, we're like Bogey and McCall at this point I feel. Which one's Bogey? I don't know. I don't know who those
00:51:36
people are. Um that was like an old an old Laurel and
00:51:42
Hardy bit that used to go like no me and the boss said just like this. And he crossed our fingers and he goes which
00:51:47
one's you? music. Well, any point, well, this one's like crossing. Yeah, it crosses. Which finger
00:51:53
is the Yeah, get out of here. By the way, enough about me, but I did like that. Thank you, Jimmy. No, no problem.
00:51:59
The also when you guys were talking about Neil Young, I had a confession that you said people have different
00:52:05
levels of their voice. When I was listening to uh Guns and Roses, who a lot of you
00:52:11

01:00:13
he get one last one? Okay, you got about one minute. I was going to summarize his whole appearance. Oh, yeah. Danny usually gets one last question, then you summarize.
01:00:18
Dana, what was it like on you when you're leaving when you're when the worst question did you do you ever
01:00:24
um do you ever you ever listen? You know, Howard Stern always ends his interviews the best where he's like,
01:00:29
"All right, well, we've done it all. We we've said we've said it all." No, Jimmy. I love Howard. You've done it
01:00:35
all. David David, you've done You've done it all. You've done it all. So, we've said it all. You've done it all. It's great.
01:00:40
And you said you know you're getting pushed out the door. Pushing out the door. They're like that's the end of the interview. We
01:00:46
like his laugh and he goes, "Oh yeah,
01:00:51
I can't even do I used to do an impression of him. Now it's just that was pretty good. Can I do my Trump
01:00:56
not saying anything for you?" Yeah. Okay, we'll end on that. There's no subject. Frankly, let me tell
01:01:01
you, you're going to be seeing a lot of it that I could tell you. I mean, when you look at it and it didn't work out so
01:01:07
great for some of those people, you're seeing it all over the place. Many people are saying we don't want that.
01:01:12
We're not people who do that. Okay. So, when you look at it, what they're doing, look at all of it. People are very
01:01:17
disappointed because it's a terrible deal, a really bad deal. We're going to be doing something very soon and you're
01:01:23
going to be seeing a lot of it. You're going to be happy like you wouldn't believe. He literally has no subject
01:01:28
matter. He's not talking about anything. Oh, good. That could fit into anything.
01:01:34
That's his genius. Wait, do you have one Do you have one? Come on. Do you have one question? Sorry, Dana. How was what was it like on
01:01:40
Saturday Night Live? That was our David, do you want to? No, I would say what are you happiest about when people stop you at an airport
01:01:47
or on the street and when they mention a specific thing throughout your long career, which is the one that kind of
01:01:54
go, "Oh, you know that one? You like that one, huh?" Yeah. I got You may not have that at the tip of your
01:01:59
brain. Oh, well, like Cowbell is the sketch everyone asks about. Oh, yeah.
01:02:05
That one. Which, by the way, let's not sleep on Cowbell. One of the best of all time. That was not almost didn't make it to
01:02:11
air. That was not supposed to make it to air. It was in the It was in the what do you call that? That the the death one the before before Good nights.
01:02:18
Yes. It's in the death one. It was in the death with Christopher Walkan. Yep. Oh wow. With Christopher Walkin, Will Frell and
01:02:24
uh and and it was it was that it aired probably right at the end of the show
01:02:30
like probably 10 to one. Oh, five to one. Yeah. Yeah. It was 5 to1. It was a weird sketch and everyone was on fire, dude.
01:02:35
Everyone was being super funny and it was like my third or fourth show on uh on the show and I remember wow
01:02:42
that's where I got the reputation for laughing and breaking in a scene because it was just everyone was Will Ferrell
01:02:47
was so funny and Katan and Horatio and then Walkan was doing like an impression
01:02:52
of walking he wasn't even doing himself he was you know we got to you know he was like it was
01:02:58
a hankering for more cowbell yeah and it started the room started shaking do you know you know when the room when
01:03:04
SNL shaking. It's hooked. Yeah. I mean, I was there that night when that I I did

01:03:22
I was doing I was doing Yeah. I was there for that. I was doing Church
01:03:29
Lady with Joe Montana and Walter Payton and a lot of sexual
01:03:34
innuendo. I wasn't my proudest moment, but it this old guy came up to me afterwards. You know, I've been I'm in
01:03:40
charge of sound. I've been looking at the meters for decades and I never seen him peak like that. Wow. And I said,
01:03:50
you was your crusher. Bye-bye. Too many to mention. Uh, no. Uh, bye-bye. So, um,
01:03:56
and you are Bye-bye was probably the one that we only did once or twice that that had the most
01:04:03
lasting effect. And then, uh, oh, one of the best moments is when Farley grabs me
01:04:09
by the neck and goes, "Lay off me. I'm starving." Yeah. The Gap girls. Yeah. When he goes, "Lay off me. I'm
01:04:14

No way. Such a blast. I told David last night on our walkie talk I go Jimmy's just going
01:06:03
to be fun and you were. It's just a blast. It was just a blast. We didn't get to all the all the questions supposed to ask a lot of new qu didn't
01:06:10
get to them. I was just surprised
01:06:16
of the cable connect winners. Okay, bye bye. Thank you. Bye
01:06:21
bye boys. Hey, what's up flies? What's up fleas? What's up people that listen? We want to
01:06:27
hear from you and your dumb questions. Questions? Ask us anything. Anything you want. You can email us at
01:06:33
flyinthewall@cadens 13.com. Yeah, you read it. Okay. This is from
01:06:40
Linda Brandt. Um, hi David and Dana. That's nice. Hi Linda.
01:06:45
If you could go back and be on any season of SNL other than your own, which cast would you most want to work with?
01:06:51
And what do you think you could add to the mix? Thanks for the podcast. I look forward to it almost every week.
01:06:58
Sometimes I'm busy. That's too much information. So anyway, what do you think? Who would you go back to?
01:07:04
Look forward to I have a big coat on. By the way, if we ever sell merch, Dana, we'll sell just a black t-shirt. That's your merch.
01:07:10
It's called Be Simple in Black. It's called Be Cool. You're cool. Chicks like this. If you have a pair of Levis's and a black t-shirt, you're kind
01:07:16
of fit like most of our crew is here. The ladies go crazy. It's all about the
01:07:21
relationship between the shoulder and the hip. If I had to go back in time and do an SNL cast, I think I would probably want
01:07:30
to be on that first year just because it was such an explosion of just blew up the whole country and no one saw it
01:07:37
coming. I don't think I could add a lot to it. I'm not a super character guy. I just I would just like to be there
01:07:43
because it was so cool and it was such a big [ __ ] deal. Dana. Uh thank you, David. I think that I when
01:07:51
I think about people I'd like to play with, I I I couldn't really pick a a
01:07:56
cast or a season, but I'd love to have been in Cone Eds with Dan Akroyd or loved done something with Bill Murray. I
01:08:03
got to do stuff with Phil Hartman and Mike Myers and Adam Thaloo and all those people. Whenever you make a list later
01:08:09
on you're up at night. What's wrong honey? I forgot to mention I'd love to be in a a killer sketch with Will Frell.
01:08:15
I did do one where Will is 6'4 230 and I played his dad Bush senior. He was Bush
01:08:20
Jr. and he had to sit on my lap. I'm fa 5'8 150 on a good day. So that was but
01:08:26
the surgery was successful. It was a hip dis but no we did do that and that was awesome. I do also well I like
01:08:32
everybody. I think the current cast is best. I hate a grumpy old man in my day was better. I say the current cast I
01:08:39
would love to go in there with Chris Red and Heidi Gardner and you know obviously
01:08:44
that's all I can do. I'm sorry I can't answer the question because it's it's a fool's it's fool's. Yeah. You know it takes people a long
01:08:50
time to know the cast. So by the time you know them well is by the time when they leave. So the cast is usually more
01:08:57
famous after the show. Uh when we were there, not many people knew us and then you leave and they go, "Oh, that was
01:09:02
such a great time." Meanwhile, everyone said we sucked. So when we were there, and that usually happens, they go, "This this cast
01:09:07
sucks." I wish I'd stayed a few more as long. I could have gone toe-to-toe with you. We since we should have done some kind of
01:09:13
like, "Hey, I'm Fricky. I'm Frankie." You know, it's a little talk show characters. Freicky and Frankie could
01:09:19
have possibly gone a read through and crushed it. Hey guys, if you're loving this podcast, which you are, be sure to click follow
