00:00:00
Larry David.
00:00:02
>> Larry David was a was a real thrill to
00:00:05
get him on our podcast.
00:00:07
>> He was heming and hawing for about two
00:00:09
years. Every time I saw him out in the
00:00:10
real world, he's like, "I want to do
00:00:11
your podcast." I'm like, "Well, it's
00:00:13
easy. You just do it." But it had to fit
00:00:16
in into the show or when it started or
00:00:18
the finale. So, he came in and he was as
00:00:22
advertised hilarious fun and laughed at
00:00:25
everything Dana said. to be honest.
00:00:27
>> Well, it was just sort of this little
00:00:29
social ecosystem between Conan and Bill
00:00:32
her and myself of doing oldtimey
00:00:35
impressions, you like Jimmy Stewart or
00:00:36
Henry Fonda and stuff like that. And so
00:00:40
I started off on those and he
00:00:44
Larry laughed harder at
00:00:46
>> he's laughed harder than almost any
00:00:48
human I'd seen. I mean, he was drenched
00:00:49
in sweat, red face, and he fell out of
00:00:51
his chair. We didn't have video then,
00:00:54
but he know the worst part is we didn't
00:00:56
film him.
00:00:57
>> So, uh, he was absolutely delightful to
00:01:01
have on the podcast. Just a a
00:01:03
sweetheart. And, you know, of course,
00:01:05
he's Larry David, but, um, yeah,
00:01:08
>> he loves comedy. And a lot of these
00:01:10
brilliant uh, writers and performers,
00:01:13
they love weird old impressions. I mean,
00:01:16
they just can't get enough of them. So,
00:01:18
that was
00:01:18
>> He was great. He came in with a good
00:01:20
attitude. He's not like a chromage and
00:01:22
we laughed and uh I do wish you know
00:01:24
people say oh why don't you film these
00:01:26
it's sometimes
00:01:28
sometimes people don't want to come into
00:01:29
the studio and sometimes they don't want
00:01:31
to be filmed even when they're here so
00:01:32
we we go along with them and uh we got a
00:01:35
great show out of them either way.
00:01:37
>> Yeah. So that was one one of the uh more
00:01:40
unique and fun ones we've we've done on
00:01:43
this podcast. So this one I would listen
00:01:45
to if I were you.
00:01:47
>> Yeah. There he is.
00:01:49
Always
00:01:53
say no.
00:01:53
>> It's the best best advice you could give
00:01:57
anyone.
00:01:58
>> Never.
00:01:58
>> I was just talking to somebody the other
00:01:59
day. They they go, "Um,
00:02:02
why did I say yes to this? Why did I say
00:02:04
yes?"
00:02:04
>> Mhm.
00:02:05
>> Everybody goes through that every day.
00:02:07
>> Yeah.
00:02:08
>> People cannot say no. It's so
00:02:10
impossible.
00:02:11
>> Well, if you're turning down a lot, it's
00:02:13
a rhythm thing. No. No. No.
00:02:17
>> But at least you're known as someone.
00:02:19
How many podcasts do you turn down in a
00:02:20
year?
00:02:22
>> 300.
00:02:23
>> I I don't want to.
00:02:24
>> Over a thousand.
00:02:25
>> Over a thousand.
00:02:26
>> I don't want to sound immodest.
00:02:28
>> 2,000.
00:02:32
>> There is uh Oh, listen. Nancy Reagan had
00:02:35
it right. Just say no. And no one
00:02:37
listened.
00:02:38
>> Yeah. Completely.
00:02:39
>> Mhm.
00:02:40
>> She was right on.
00:02:41
>> She was talking about drugs.
00:02:43
>> Well,
00:02:45
>> can I hear my Reagan? He got his Reagan
00:02:47
in.
00:02:47
>> By the way, I'll I'll sit here for an
00:02:49
hour and just listen to you.
00:02:50
>> Well, I like this rhythm. I'll see if
00:02:52
you like this rhythm. It's Reagan
00:02:54
dealing with modern enemies, right?
00:02:56
>> Who are they? What? Tellah who? Benny
00:02:58
what? What they do, to who? Where? When?
00:03:04
How? Why? Well, then we have no choice.
00:03:08
Fire away with everything we got and
00:03:10
then call them and see if they're still
00:03:12
there. There. That was it. I made Larry
00:03:14
David laugh. I've got I've got one for
00:03:16
you that if you can do, I would just I
00:03:19
would ask you to do it every time I saw
00:03:22
you.
00:03:22
>> Okay.
00:03:23
>> Um a younger Biden. Not the old Biden.
00:03:27
>> A younger Biden with that with that u
00:03:30
Baltimore.
00:03:31
>> I don't have one of those.
00:03:32
>> That Baltimore accent.
00:03:33
>> I know. I know. Well, that's very
00:03:35
specific.
00:03:35
>> You know that accent I'm talking about?
00:03:37
They did it in that uh that series. What
00:03:39
was it called? Uh with Kate Winslet.
00:03:41
>> Oh. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. This
00:03:44
>> something may
00:03:46
>> Yeah.
00:03:46
>> Yeah.
00:03:46
>> Yeah. They had that accent. He's got
00:03:49
some of that,
00:03:50
>> right? This never doesn't get a laugh in
00:03:52
stand up. And I'll do it over and over
00:03:54
again to the audience.
00:03:55
>> No, I'm being serious.
00:03:58
>> And I say to the audience, I will keep
00:04:00
doing it until you don't laugh. I'm
00:04:03
getting around here. I'm being serious.
00:04:05
So,
00:04:05
>> see, you're so lucky that you can do
00:04:07
that stuff because
00:04:08
>> I don't have jokes. Well, I mean, if if
00:04:11
something you do isn't working, then you
00:04:14
just you make them laugh again. You
00:04:16
always have a laugh at your disposal.
00:04:18
>> Most standups don't have that laugh at
00:04:20
their disposal.
00:04:21
>> It's terrifying to go up and if you
00:04:22
don't have a go-to something,
00:04:24
>> right?
00:04:24
>> Dana's got great stuff. And also, you
00:04:26
can put a 10% joke in an impression and
00:04:28
it's worth 100%.
00:04:30
>> And just ride the rhythm. I put on my
00:04:31
notes. Stay stay here. Don't be in a
00:04:34
hurry. Stay here. If it says Ross Perau,
00:04:36
you're going to do him for or Anthony
00:04:38
>> Fouch president since Calvin [ __ ]
00:04:40
doesn't the crowd's like
00:04:43
>> Yeah, they freak out.
00:04:44
>> But a young Biden, that's a challenge.
00:04:46
>> Yeah, you do FDR.
00:04:50
>> We No, no, I'm doing JFK. We don't do
00:04:53
it. My bid on JFK now is that we He
00:04:56
needs an AI. Bobby needs an AI. That his
00:04:58
His voice will then go to JFK's voice.
00:05:01
>> Oh, Bobby's. Yeah, cuz we all sound like
00:05:03
Bobby if we smoke pot in high school be
00:05:05
like
00:05:06
>> I can't believe what the pharmaceutical
00:05:09
companies are doing, you know,
00:05:11
introducing JFK AI. We uh understand
00:05:15
that the pharmaceutical companies are
00:05:17
doing I'm just going to do this all
00:05:18
afternoon.
00:05:19
>> Oh, come on. I'm I'm, you know, I'm
00:05:20
thoroughly entertained. I would have to
00:05:22
finish them to listen to this. Go ahead.
00:05:24
>> See if you can say we don't do it
00:05:25
because it's easy. We do it because it's
00:05:27
hard.
00:05:28
>> We're the right age group.
00:05:30
>> Yeah. Crickets up here. They know.
00:05:35
>> Um. Yes. So,
00:05:37
>> so you're settled in.
00:05:38
>> You said yes. You're here. Do you need
00:05:40
anything?
00:05:41
>> I'll open some water here.
00:05:42
>> Mhm.
00:05:43
>> We got you some of the high uh fancy
00:05:45
water from your writer.
00:05:50
>> Has any human
00:05:51
>> How about those people who they want
00:05:54
like grape jelly or something?
00:05:57
>> Have you ever seen your writer? I don't
00:05:59
know if you do a lot of standup. Have
00:06:00
you ever seen your writer?
00:06:04
>> What are you demanding?
00:06:06
>> Me neither.
00:06:06
>> I feel like yours is a little below JLo
00:06:09
but above Chris Katan.
00:06:13
>> Let's see what
00:06:13
>> I've had people in tears coming at me.
00:06:15
I'm coming backstage for the gig. We
00:06:17
only have three towels.
00:06:19
>> Yeah. I go
00:06:20
>> We couldn't find Triscuits.
00:06:22
>> I don't see my writer. I don't Anyway,
00:06:25
>> I I don't like to eat anything at all
00:06:27
before I'm I'm going on somewhere.
00:06:30
>> Not even a little bit of a bite of
00:06:33
chocolate.
00:06:34
>> No, nothing.
00:06:34
>> You still do stand up? You go out and do
00:06:36
like an hour?
00:06:36
>> No. Uh, last year I did um, you know, I
00:06:41
was interviewed
00:06:43
>> on stage.
00:06:43
>> On stage? Yeah.
00:06:44
>> Ching. One of like these [ __ ]
00:06:46
things.
00:06:47
>> Yeah. Yeah. Something like this. Yeah.
00:06:50
>> Yeah. That those are the best though
00:06:51
because it's not really
00:06:52
>> Yeah. That's not stand up. It's not that
00:06:54
hard,
00:06:54
>> right? Yeah.
00:06:56
>> Oh, yeah. I heard before the pandemic,
00:06:58
Julie Louis Trifus, remember her? You
00:06:59
know her. She um
00:07:01
>> she was doing interviews.
00:07:02
>> Check out the call sheet. You'll
00:07:03
remember.
00:07:03
>> She was doing interviews for corporate
00:07:05
events. I thought, "Oh man, that's so
00:07:07
nice." 20 minutes with the CEO.
00:07:10
>> Um
00:07:11
>> she's the question that makes you the
00:07:13
happiest. And what's the question that
00:07:15
is annoying for you? I think I have an
00:07:18
idea.
00:07:19
I think now the most annoying question
00:07:21
is are you going to do another season?
00:07:23
>> GH
00:07:24
>> Yeah.
00:07:25
>> Oh.
00:07:25
>> Well, uh, now that we're here,
00:07:28
>> did you just say yes at the end? Meaning
00:07:30
you are. You're not, are you?
00:07:32
>> I I didn't know that your special was
00:07:33
named Curb Your Enthusiasm. Is that
00:07:35
true? Your standard special. And then
00:07:36
you borrow that. Yeah. You took that in.
00:07:39
And was it 2000? Has it been around that
00:07:41
long?
00:07:41
>> Yeah.
00:07:42
>> Mhm.
00:07:42
>> God dang.
00:07:43
>> And you've had people on Curb that um
00:07:46
went on to be bigger stars. You actually
00:07:48
got him early.
00:07:51
>> Yeah. Who?
00:07:53
>> I'm I'm asking you.
00:07:56
Me?
00:07:57
>> Well, that's exciting.
00:07:59
>> No, I do have a curve story for you.
00:08:00
>> Yeah.
00:08:01
>> You might have heard it because you were
00:08:02
part of it. But
00:08:03
>> Dana, I did this uh young man's show. Uh
00:08:06
it was one of the great fun things of
00:08:08
life is to be on a show that's [ __ ]
00:08:10
hit show everyone loves,
00:08:11
>> right? You know, everyone's sensibility.
00:08:13
Everyone in the future goes, "Oh, I want
00:08:14
to do a show like Curb." That's the most
00:08:16
common thing I hear. It's uh 10 times
00:08:18
more complicated than they can probably
00:08:20
think. It seems very easy, looks easy.
00:08:23
Uh I think the fun part when I did it
00:08:26
was the idea was you I don't know if you
00:08:28
remember this, you did so many, but you
00:08:30
wanted tickets to Laker Game and you
00:08:32
used to work at NBC. So you asked the
00:08:33
president of NBC and they have two sets.
00:08:36
This is I think true anyway. So they say
00:08:39
yes, give Larry two tickets. So, you go
00:08:42
with Jeff and you you're in the rafters
00:08:45
and then you get the binoculars to see,
00:08:47
oh, they have two sets of tickets. And
00:08:48
then you go, who's on the floor where we
00:08:50
wanted to be? And he's sitting with me,
00:08:51
right?
00:08:52
>> And so you're like, that [ __ ]
00:08:54
why is Spade down there
00:08:55
>> and why are we up here? I [ __ ] I was
00:08:57
on Seinfel. So anyway, we run into you
00:09:00
guys leaving and and the part that I
00:09:02
thought was interesting, I didn't even
00:09:04
tell Dana this, but uh uh it's like the
00:09:08
way I got the way I remember it was
00:09:10
someone comes up to me and you in your I
00:09:12
think we have the forum or wherever it
00:09:14
is and I think that's how big of a
00:09:16
production is. You have that you have
00:09:17
extras. We did some at a real game. I
00:09:20
think we use those uh Endeavor seats or
00:09:22
whatever, William Morris. And then so we
00:09:24
were at the real game and then uh
00:09:27
afterwards we get a bunch of extras to
00:09:29
stay and so we were leaving. So me and
00:09:33
the president of NBC are leaving and and
00:09:35
Larry's coming out with Jeff and they
00:09:36
come up to me and they go you're going
00:09:37
to run into him. So uh be apologetic.
00:09:41
Something like that. It was just an
00:09:43
idea. No lines. And then they I go and
00:09:45
what's Larry doing? They go you'll find
00:09:47
out. So then you guys decide what you
00:09:49
want to do. Obviously you decide. And so
00:09:51
we come in and we have like a five
00:09:52
minute talk where I'm like, "Ah, sorry."
00:09:54
Because you're like, "Why would he be
00:09:55
there?" I'm like, "I don't I don't want
00:09:56
to be a part of this. Whatever.
00:09:57
Whatever." Then they go cut and then
00:09:59
they come back and I go, "This one,
00:10:01
defend yourself." And it's so funny cuz
00:10:04
you have 5 seconds. So I'm like, "Well,
00:10:05
whatever happens." And I don't know what
00:10:07
you're going to do. And then you're
00:10:08
like, "Why would he be there?" I'm like,
00:10:09
"Well, we both were on big shows." And
00:10:11
you're like, "Well, I was on Seville." I
00:10:12
go, "Well, listen, we're both top 10
00:10:14
shows. We're both it it's kind of a
00:10:16
push." And you're like, "A push? [ __ ]
00:10:18
that just shoot me was the same as so
00:10:20
anyway it just makes for a fun real
00:10:23
>> fake argument whatever whatever and then
00:10:24
they did like one or two more of
00:10:26
different things was a blast David
00:10:29
>> it's um
00:10:31
it's very interesting honestly for
00:10:32
people to know that because the hard
00:10:34
part for Larry is to go in there and uh
00:10:38
decide which is the funniest version
00:10:40
what line that that's just so
00:10:41
complicated
00:10:41
>> the greatest part I love is when I I can
00:10:43
tell that you or the great Richard Lewis
00:10:46
or Jeff Garland You're not sure you're
00:10:48
doing a take
00:10:50
because you're just talking and you
00:10:51
might use it, you might not. I mean,
00:10:53
it's the absolute opposite of a
00:10:55
traditional, you know, it's, you know,
00:10:57
Larry Sanders was the first that I had
00:10:59
an experience like that.
00:11:00
>> I first of all, I would I never would
00:11:01
have done a show if I had to memorize
00:11:04
lines.
00:11:05
>> Smart.
00:11:05
>> It's too hard.
00:11:06
>> It's It's I don't I don't like it. And
00:11:09
I'm not really an actor.
00:11:11
>> And you have to be You have to be an
00:11:13
actor to memorize lines. I suppose I
00:11:16
could do it, but it wouldn't be fun.
00:11:18
Here, I'm kind of making it up as we're
00:11:21
going along. And I don't know. It's just
00:11:26
I just laugh my way through 12 seasons.
00:11:28
>> I know that it's infectious to watch.
00:11:31
You know, the last 20 years, I don't
00:11:34
think I've ever gone to any kind of
00:11:35
meeting about any kind of show where,
00:11:37
you know, it's going to be like Curb or
00:11:39
we're thinking like a curb type show.
00:11:41
>> Has anyone even landed close to the
00:11:43
sensibility? And what is the secret? You
00:11:45
don't have to tell us here. Yeah, you
00:11:47
can cut this part out. Tell us
00:11:48
>> if there is like one secret.
00:11:50
>> Tell us who's done it poorly first.
00:11:52
>> I I Who's who's doing it?
00:11:54
>> I don't even know who's doing it.
00:11:55
>> I The only thing I can think of is Larry
00:11:56
Sanders in the '9s had a sense of three
00:11:59
cameras going at all times. 16 mm and
00:12:02
Gary say you do this kind of or say
00:12:04
something like this, you know.
00:12:06
>> Oh, did they improvise a lot? At least
00:12:08
when I was there, but but I don't think
00:12:10
it was quite like yours where like
00:12:13
>> you're so improvised. Whatever you have,
00:12:15
it's working. Don't even
00:12:17
>> Yeah.
00:12:17
>> Hey, are you gonna do another season?
00:12:21
>> Is there anybody you asked to do, Curb,
00:12:22
that didn't do it? Like some star that
00:12:24
you wanted?
00:12:25
>> I I think there were some people who
00:12:27
were just weren't down with the idea of
00:12:30
improvising.
00:12:31
>> Yeah.
00:12:32
>> Some would like to do the lines. They're
00:12:34
they'd be more comfortable.
00:12:35
>> Yeah. More comfortable.
00:12:36
>> It's hard to make lines your own. That's
00:12:38
hard when you're doing shows and movies
00:12:39
that that's why they sometimes feel
00:12:40
stiff because if you can just play off
00:12:42
what's happening at that second and the
00:12:44
attitude that's way more fun. It is hard
00:12:46
to do though.
00:12:47
>> I mean the worst thing that actors did
00:12:49
on the show is if they would try to be
00:12:51
funny.
00:12:51
>> Yeah. Or they come and going
00:12:53
>> trying to come up with like funny lines.
00:12:56
>> Not no.
00:12:57
>> Yeah. The hardest part I've seen even on
00:12:59
like for Adam and Sandler on those
00:13:01
movies is a lot of people that come on
00:13:03
that have never worked with them first
00:13:05
of all proclaim their funniness which is
00:13:07
always a red flag and then they come up
00:13:09
and say I had some ideas for the scene
00:13:12
and it's it for you to be the creator
00:13:14
and they and you can't blame anyone else
00:13:17
and you have to say no. So when they
00:13:19
come to you and go Larry I thought I'd
00:13:20
play it more I got a guy that talks like
00:13:22
this and you got to go a [ __ ] Can you
00:13:23
just don't do that? It's a hard position
00:13:25
to be in. No, it's very easy.
00:13:27
>> Okay.
00:13:30
>> I was trying to help you a little bit.
00:13:32
>> It's not hard at all. No, that's that's
00:13:33
not good. Don't do that. Okay.
00:13:36
>> I've got two killed
00:13:38
>> and they would slink away and go, "Fuck
00:13:40
this."
00:13:41
>> Sometimes Sometimes at auditions, um,
00:13:43
actors would would try and cry.
00:13:47
>> I go, "Oh, God, no. Stop. No. No."
00:13:53
>> Oh, man. And I the two metrics now never
00:13:56
have a line that's written that someone
00:13:58
has to say
00:13:59
>> and don't anybody ever be caught trying
00:14:02
to be funny
00:14:04
>> unless the character is trying to be
00:14:06
funny.
00:14:06
>> Yeah.
00:14:07
>> Yeah. That's different. But none of that
00:14:08
winking. It's a real Rubicon. You can
00:14:10
really feel it in sitcoms when it's just
00:14:12
pushed.
00:14:14
>> I like good. I'm just saying I'm a fan.
00:14:16
>> The stuff that's played like in a wide
00:14:17
shot is always good.
00:14:18
>> Sometimes you get on a movie and they go
00:14:20
we D and I talk about this. get you get
00:14:22
too locked into two shot, one shot,
00:14:23
pushing, pushing and you're losing all
00:14:25
the momentum and all the fun of it and
00:14:27
it looks too stiff back, forth, back.
00:14:29
Sometimes it's nice those old Woody
00:14:31
Allens or whatever. Even Tarantino in a
00:14:33
wide shot, just two people talking looks
00:14:35
real. You've got to figure out where to
00:14:37
look instead of going look here, look
00:14:39
there. We got it. We got it. We we we've
00:14:40
seen it.
00:14:41
>> The Woody Allen thing is a little scary
00:14:44
>> cuz I did I did
00:14:45
>> Oh, you did a couple.
00:14:46
>> What was the name of that movie?
00:14:47
>> It's called a couple Dana.
00:14:48
>> Yeah. What? What?
00:14:51
Yeah.
00:14:51
>> Yeah.
00:14:52
>> Anyway, I did one
00:14:53
>> once upon He doesn't remember.
00:14:56
>> And you know, because he does these take
00:14:59
you got to get it all in one.
00:15:01
>> Mhm.
00:15:02
>> And the whole take I'm going I got four
00:15:04
more lines to go.
00:15:06
>> I'm not comfortable at all because I h
00:15:09
You can't make a mistake. There's no
00:15:10
cutting.
00:15:11
>> Yeah. Um, after my first take, the first
00:15:15
day of filming, after the first take, he
00:15:17
comes up to me and he goes,
00:15:19
>> "Not terrible."
00:15:22
>> And now I use that every time somebody
00:15:24
asks me how Yeah. How you doing? I go,
00:15:26
"Not terrible."
00:15:28
>> Yeah,
00:15:28
>> that's good.
00:15:29
>> Medium place to be.
00:15:30
>> Robert Mitchum told me that the guy who
00:15:32
played Tarzan
00:15:34
because Robert Mitchum was a guest host.
00:15:37
He was the host at SNL. I go, "Hey, how
00:15:39
you doing today?" He goes, "Worse.
00:15:41
I go I go worse. Why do you say worst? I
00:15:45
think it was Lex Bar, some guy who
00:15:46
played Tarzan. He came out of his
00:15:48
trailer and said, "I feel great." And
00:15:50
then did a header, you know? So, ever
00:15:52
since then, he just says worse.
00:15:54
>> That's I love that.
00:15:59
>> Oh, you did tough guys. Is that the one?
00:16:01
>> I did so much [ __ ] I was so bad. It's I
00:16:04
have a hall of fame. So bad.
00:16:05
>> I can't say lines 175 times between all
00:16:08
the takes
00:16:09
>> and all the close-ups. And by 4:00 in
00:16:11
the afternoon, you first said the lines
00:16:12
at 7:00 a.m. and by 5:00 it's not even
00:16:15
English
00:16:15
>> going in tight on Dana.
00:16:17
>> You guys got some uh heads of hair on
00:16:19
you, the two of you. You know,
00:16:21
>> best hair money combined.
00:16:22
>> When did you know did you ever think
00:16:24
like, "Oh, I'm going to have all of my
00:16:27
hair for the rest of my life." Did that
00:16:29
Did that thought occur to you at some
00:16:31
point?
00:16:31
>> Um yes. Um I had a pretty good head of
00:16:36
hair. First of all, it went way up in
00:16:37
these corners that are covered right now
00:16:40
when I was in my 20s. So, I went to a
00:16:42
barber. He goes, "It's you're going to
00:16:43
be gone by 30."
00:16:45
>> What? Really?
00:16:46
>> Yeah. Barber guy, I used to saw it going
00:16:47
back. It goes, "But it went back and
00:16:49
then it stopped."
00:16:51
>> Wow. Very rare.
00:16:52
>> And then
00:16:53
>> Yeah.
00:16:53
>> And then I do take a little finest ride.
00:16:56
>> What's that?
00:16:56
>> I'm sorry.
00:16:57
>> It's stuff that keeps
00:16:58
>> What does that do?
00:16:59
>> Keeps your hair in your head.
00:17:00
>> Really?
00:17:01
>> Yeah. Matthew McCcon does it. All right.
00:17:03
All right. Right. Right.
00:17:07
Dude, I grew up I put motor oil
00:17:09
everything I could find. I threw in my
00:17:10
hair just trying every trick in the
00:17:11
book. It's so horrible.
00:17:12
>> Well, let me just explain that because
00:17:13
we'll get we'll get letters oldfashioned
00:17:16
parllets. Um,
00:17:17
>> dosage matters with any med you take. I
00:17:21
this woman, she was trying to do super
00:17:23
vegan and she was amazing. She was 87. I
00:17:26
go, you could have some salmon. Oh, no,
00:17:27
I can't. Well, I tried a statin and I
00:17:30
had terrible side effects. Would you
00:17:32
ever think of taking a lower dose? Ask
00:17:34
your doctor. So she lowered the dose,
00:17:36
took her cholesterol, no side effects.
00:17:38
So the same thing with finasteride.
00:17:40
People were popping it like candy. Then
00:17:42
they had sexual side effects,
00:17:43
depression. You just need a little bit
00:17:45
to keep the hair in your head. And it
00:17:47
will grow hair.
00:17:48
>> You had to give her that advice. What?
00:17:50
The doctor couldn't tell her that.
00:17:52
>> She couldn't read the back of the
00:17:52
bottle.
00:17:54
>> Doctors are not really Most of them are
00:17:57
just high school seniors that have a lab
00:17:59
coat on. They don't know anything. Most
00:18:00
of them. They're terrible.
00:18:02
>> I mean, right. I mean, do you
00:18:05
>> what? Doctors?
00:18:06
>> Yeah.
00:18:06
>> I still have great faith in them.
00:18:08
>> Yeah. Yeah. Dana.
00:18:09
>> Interesting.
00:18:10
>> Yeah.
00:18:11
>> I look at you all.
00:18:12
>> They're doctors, Dana. Doctors.
00:18:14
>> I know. I used to bow down. We were
00:18:15
talking about the to a contractor or a
00:18:17
landscape architect. We'll put a big
00:18:19
tree right in the middle of the grass.
00:18:20
Why? Well, you need it. No, you don't.
00:18:22
>> Well, you know, you can never have a
00:18:24
doctor as a friend because you lose all
00:18:26
con because you see, they're so human.
00:18:28
How could you? Right. You don't. You're
00:18:30
kind of stupid actually in life. Well,
00:18:32
you can read the same stuff they're
00:18:33
reading. You can read NA NIH. You can
00:18:36
read Harvard, whatever. You can read
00:18:38
everything the doctors can. Why are you
00:18:40
reading that?
00:18:41
>> I do. I do.
00:18:42
>> You do?
00:18:43
>> A lot. If I have an issue of something,
00:18:45
yeah, I'll look it up. I
00:18:47
>> don't you ever research stuff?
00:18:48
>> I don't want to read anything medical.
00:18:50
It'll just scare me.
00:18:52
>> I never I never look at anything
00:18:53
medical.
00:18:54
>> When you do you get this when you
00:18:57
talk about everything jokey except for
00:18:59
what's wrong with you? Like they come
00:19:00
in, how's it going? What's been going
00:19:02
on? Have you been on the road? I'm like,
00:19:04
I've been sitting in here for 49 minutes
00:19:06
waiting and I know I've got a six-minute
00:19:07
window with you. Like, let's get to the
00:19:09
stuff. And then, uh, they last second.
00:19:12
Oh, right. Bend over and stick a finger
00:19:13
in your ass. Okay. Sorry, I almost
00:19:14
forgot that part.
00:19:17
>> Did you ever do a prostate exam joke?
00:19:19
>> No.
00:19:20
>> Yes.
00:19:20
>> I didn't think you would.
00:19:21
>> Oh, I thought you were talking to me.
00:19:22
>> Oh, yeah.
00:19:24
>> The cheesiest one that always gets I
00:19:26
don't do I've never done one. I never
00:19:27
written one, but what? The one that made
00:19:29
me laugh the most was, "Look, ma, no
00:19:30
hands."
00:19:34
>> Yeah.
00:19:35
>> I mean, that that's a stock joke. It
00:19:37
wasn't mine.
00:19:37
>> Yeah. No, the the the joke that you try
00:19:39
to bury into real life is when I was
00:19:41
playing the Mirage. I go, "David
00:19:43
Copperfield was in the steam room. I I
00:19:45
milked out so long." And they go, "He
00:19:46
was in the steam room?" And I go,
00:19:47
"Yeah." And he's sitting next to me, but
00:19:50
his towel slid off. He was just sitting
00:19:52
there weird. And he goes, "Hey, I" He
00:19:54
goes, "Uh" I go, "Can you do magic now
00:19:56
that you have nothing here?" And he
00:19:58
goes, "Yeah." And I go, "It's not real."
00:19:59
And he goes, "All right, quickly." He
00:20:02
goes, "Uh, get up." He gets behind me
00:20:05
and he goes, "All right, do you feel my
00:20:07
thumb in your ass?" And I go, "Yeah."
00:20:08
And he goes, "Tada."
00:20:13
Reaches around me.
00:20:16
So,
00:20:17
>> it was sort of magic. That's funny.
00:20:19
>> That's funny. Did Did you ever um do a
00:20:22
Hitler joke? You do a lot of Hitler
00:20:24
jokes. I'm not talking about the
00:20:25
editorial, but just because everyone has
00:20:27
a Hitler joke. What's your best Hitler
00:20:29
joke?
00:20:29
>> I did uh I used to do one in in standup.
00:20:32
Um
00:20:34
it had to do with about Hitler going to
00:20:37
a magic show.
00:20:39
>> That's already funny.
00:20:41
>> Anything Hitler does.
00:20:42
>> And he goes backstage after
00:20:44
>> Mhm.
00:20:45
>> and he's very insistent on on finding
00:20:49
out where the rabbit is. And you know,
00:20:52
magicians have magicians have a code.
00:20:55
They they don't they can't tell how the
00:20:57
tricks are done, right? And Hitler's
00:20:58
going, "Where's the rabbit? I'm very
00:21:00
curious. Where's the rabbit?"
00:21:02
>> And he goes, "Well, my fur, you know, we
00:21:04
we not really allowed to. It's a code
00:21:06
amongst me." Yes. Yes. Yes. But where is
00:21:09
the rabbit?
00:21:11
It was something like that. Yeah. I
00:21:13
forgot the rest of it.
00:21:14
>> Where was it?
00:21:16
>> Did you do that in the 99 special?
00:21:18
>> I did. Yes, I remembered it.
00:21:19
>> Yeah.
00:21:20
>> Mhm. Do you have a Hitler joke?
00:21:22
>> Uh, you know,
00:21:24
>> write one.
00:21:25
>> I don't think I have one because Oh, you
00:21:27
know, I did have a book when I did my
00:21:29
first book. Oh, a couple people
00:21:30
remember. Thank you. Um, is it was I
00:21:33
used a picture of me when I was 5 years
00:21:35
old. My mom had me in a little blue suit
00:21:37
with white hair down to here and it was
00:21:39
a weird shot down on me in front of my
00:21:41
old apartments and I'm just standing so
00:21:44
stiffly that I said, "What if we called
00:21:46
the book Mr. Hitler? We'll see you now."
00:21:49
because I was like a 5-year-old kid,
00:21:50
looked like a little
00:21:52
>> uh Aryan. And um it got universally no.
00:21:56
So uh and I'm kind of glad because I
00:21:59
sort of skim over stuff. I'm from
00:22:00
Arizona. We were never into religion. We
00:22:02
were never into many things that could
00:22:04
be very offensive.
00:22:07
>> And so we joked about everything,
00:22:08
racism, all this. So sometimes I would
00:22:11
stumble in my act and say things too far
00:22:12
and someone would pull me aside and say,
00:22:13
"I wouldn't say that anymore." and I
00:22:15
wouldn't know how deep these things went
00:22:17
or hit and I'd be like, "Okay." So, it
00:22:19
took me a while. Even on that one was a
00:22:21
little late in the game. But, uh, to
00:22:23
even say I should do that, but
00:22:26
>> Hitler gets thrown around and it just it
00:22:28
offends too many people. I'm not Jewish.
00:22:29
>> I did a Hitler bit. I was doing a
00:22:31
benefit for Cedar Sinai cardiology
00:22:33
department and I did a Hitler bit. A guy
00:22:36
would actually put a stent my chest go,
00:22:38
do you know where you are? You know, and
00:22:40
I do you want to hear it?
00:22:41
>> Yeah. Go. It's not a bit, it's an
00:22:42
observation cuz I thought I don't have
00:22:44
any original observation about Hitler
00:22:46
and then I thought of one and I want you
00:22:48
to tell me you've never heard it before
00:22:50
>> hopefully or you've heard it before. All
00:22:53
we do is see Hitler throughout history
00:22:55
history screaming.
00:23:00
We never see him talking normal. He m we
00:23:02
do this for a living. He must be
00:23:04
exhausted backstage. Just wiped out
00:23:06
almost effite. Oh, himla. I can't feel
00:23:10
my deltoid. Whoever said to do this,
00:23:12
shoot him.
00:23:13
>> He gets off stage and goes to the heads
00:23:15
of the green room. And he's like, they
00:23:16
were good.
00:23:17
>> They were pretty good. He's
00:23:18
>> exhausted. Hitler langangerous ging off.
00:23:22
Yeah, that's great.
00:23:23
>> Don't fat shame yourself. I have a
00:23:25
cookie. I eat it. I put the plate down.
00:23:27
You have a good cookie. Your brain
00:23:28
throws a party. You have a 100 cookies.
00:23:31
So, he breaks down, you know, addiction
00:23:33
to carbohydrates.
00:23:34
>> That's funny.
00:23:34
>> Okay.
00:23:35
>> Hitler's green room. What's on his
00:23:36
writer? Mhm.
00:23:38
>> All right.
00:23:39
>> Mhm.
00:23:39
>> I look at my notes. There's literally no
00:23:40
notes to ask anything. It's too Go
00:23:42
ahead, Dana.
00:23:43
>> Whatever you got.
00:23:43
>> Well, I know this will make you happy.
00:23:45
Um, Jaylen Bronson. Brunson.
00:23:49
>> Yeah.
00:23:50
>> New York Knicks.
00:23:51
>> Yes. Yes. Right in the throat.
00:23:53
>> Stephen A. Smith and LeBron. Who would
00:23:56
win if they went because we we think we
00:23:59
know, but Stephen A. Smith isn't tiny. I
00:24:01
mean, I would get snapped in half by
00:24:03
LeBron.
00:24:03
>> A Stephen A. Smith would get snapped in
00:24:05
half.
00:24:06
>> Yeah. LeBron is a beast, man.
00:24:08
>> It's unbelievable. What is he doing?
00:24:10
>> I don't know. He's 40 years old. It's
00:24:12
just incredible what he's doing.
00:24:14
>> Yeah.
00:24:14
>> If I had that money, I think, and he's
00:24:16
already like such a perfect specimen
00:24:18
athlete. I don't know what I would do. I
00:24:21
don't know what I would obviously pour
00:24:23
it back into trying to stay alive top
00:24:24
100. I look at Brad Pitt and I go, I
00:24:27
don't know what's going on, but if
00:24:28
something no one's going to get to
00:24:30
regular Brad Pitt, he looks even better
00:24:32
now. I'm like, [ __ ] that. That's like
00:24:33
cheating. because he could have been
00:24:35
fine skating along and if he did the I
00:24:38
don't say he did because mostly just
00:24:40
jealousy and anger but uh if he did
00:24:43
something I'm flying to that guy and
00:24:45
just saying do whatever you got to do
00:24:47
because someone told me on my comments
00:24:50
it looks like I slept on my face and
00:24:52
those sting Larry you're supposed to let
00:24:55
him go and uh
00:24:56
>> well you look kind of the same like 45
00:24:59
years
00:25:00
>> because when did your your hair but when
00:25:01
did it go white
00:25:03
>> how old.
00:25:04
>> It probably started in my um
00:25:08
>> probably in my late 30s.
00:25:10
>> Wow.
00:25:12
>> That was a joke. No, but Steve Martin,
00:25:15
the same thing. You look He looks kind
00:25:17
of the same.
00:25:18
>> I was like 12.
00:25:19
>> I'm working on this baby face with
00:25:21
bangs. I'm going to be 17 in a month.
00:25:23
>> Hair messy.
00:25:24
>> Really? You're going to be 17 in a
00:25:25
month?
00:25:25
>> Yes. Thank you, Larry.
00:25:26
>> Wow.
00:25:27
>> For being surprised.
00:25:29
>> I'm very comment. Isn't that a great
00:25:31
compliment when people are surprised and
00:25:32
you tell them your age?
00:25:34
>> Yes. Yeah,
00:25:35
>> it is. But when you tell them eventually
00:25:37
you say I'm going to be 70 a month, they
00:25:39
go, "Oh,
00:25:40
>> you're like really
00:25:42
just an O." Yeah,
00:25:44
>> you look the words.
00:25:45
>> Can I get up? Really? Andy Samberg said,
00:25:48
"You're going to be 70." I go, "Thank
00:25:50
you, Andy."
00:25:51
>> That's a great compliment.
00:25:52
>> Okay, I have something you may not have
00:25:53
heard before. Tell me if you have.
00:25:55
>> Carol Leafer was on our show.
00:25:57
>> Okay. and she's talked about you and
00:26:00
Jerry, the dynamic, and she said,
00:26:02
"You're John Lennon and and Jerry is
00:26:05
Paul McCartney." Have you heard that
00:26:07
before?
00:26:08
>> I
00:26:08
>> You probably have heard it.
00:26:09
>> I I've heard it. It's quite ridiculous,
00:26:11
but I've heard it. Yeah.
00:26:12
>> But but then it makes you unpack it a
00:26:14
little bit in your brain like, "Well,
00:26:16
wait a minute. How am I Strawberry
00:26:17
Fields and he's l of those?"
00:26:19
>> Both geniuses.
00:26:20
>> Yeah.
00:26:21
>> Not bad.
00:26:23
>> Um Yeah. I I I don't I don't I think I
00:26:27
have a feeling our dynamic was um maybe
00:26:33
not fraught with the friction that
00:26:34
theirs was. So we
00:26:37
>> I asked Paul McCartney about it and he
00:26:39
said, "Well, the difference was, you
00:26:40
know, they were doing comedy and we were
00:26:42
do we were doing strumming and singing.
00:26:45
So it's a different thing. The analogy
00:26:47
doesn't quite fit." You know,
00:26:50
Larry David looks the same for the last
00:26:52
40 years. was like, "Oh, I totally
00:26:53
agree." Paul,
00:26:54
>> were you on CBS Radford for a lot?
00:26:57
>> Yeah,
00:26:57
>> that's right. I think we were there at
00:26:58
the same time, honestly. I think Just
00:27:00
Shoot Me, Will, and Grace.
00:27:02
>> I think there up until um 98.
00:27:06
>> What was the call sheet? What was the
00:27:07
order of the cast?
00:27:09
>> Have no idea.
00:27:10
>> Larry,
00:27:11
>> never looked at it.
00:27:12
>> Tell me.
00:27:14
>> You mean the Seinfeld call sheet?
00:27:16
>> Jerry.
00:27:17
>> Honest to God,
00:27:18
>> I never looked at it once.
00:27:19
>> What do you think it was, Dana?
00:27:21
>> I assume it' have to be Jerry. And then
00:27:22
we'll keep going.
00:27:23
>> I mean, it's a good question. I never
00:27:24
looked at those four in a row.
00:27:25
>> I never looked at it.
00:27:28
>> Julie Louise Drifus number two.
00:27:30
>> She was probably bigger name, right?
00:27:33
>> Um
00:27:34
Jason was Julie wasn't in the pilot.
00:27:36
Jason was in the pilot.
00:27:37
>> Oh, he might have inched and leaned at
00:27:39
the tape and got to number two.
00:27:41
>> Yeah.
00:27:42
>> I was not an early adopter. I was being
00:27:45
winded and dined by NBC to do the
00:27:47
Letterman slot, Warren Littlefield, and
00:27:50
having lunch with him. mean a talk show
00:27:51
host.
00:27:52
>> Yeah, they want
00:27:53
>> You were going to be You were going to
00:27:53
be a host on on television.
00:27:55
>> Yeah, I I know. It seems amazing.
00:27:57
>> He'd be great.
00:27:58
>> It wouldn't work at all.
00:28:01
>> This is my first degree.
00:28:05
>> Well, maybe maybe if you had David as as
00:28:07
the co-host, it might have worked.
00:28:10
>> And Andy Richtor. No, but uh but
00:28:11
basically, they said, you know, we have
00:28:13
this this new show. I think only four
00:28:15
had been made or something. It's called
00:28:17
Seinfeld. We think it might be gonna be
00:28:20
really big. And they told me about it
00:28:21
and who was in it and I just thought to
00:28:23
myself, "Oh boy, that's not going to
00:28:24
happen."
00:28:25
>> Bomb.
00:28:26
>> That doesn't sound like a winner.
00:28:28
>> Yeah, I I I agree with that. Well,
00:28:33
>> whatever I'm involved in, I never
00:28:35
thought would work. So, no, I thought it
00:28:38
would be gone very quickly.
00:28:41
>> I I had I was just doing it for the
00:28:43
pilot. I would do a pilot,
00:28:45
>> get paid for the pilot,
00:28:47
>> right?
00:28:48
>> And then that was that would be it.
00:28:50
>> Yeah. The chance of pilots going are so
00:28:52
slim, especially
00:28:53
>> and you're coming off SNL then. Was that
00:28:55
SNL? That's
00:28:56
>> SNL was 84 85.
00:28:59
>> How'd that go? Oh, swimmingly.
00:29:02
>> Well, you you made up for it.
00:29:04
>> It just shows how you just don't know.
00:29:05
You need the right situation or whatever
00:29:07
because for you not to do great on that
00:29:10
show and then you go off and do Well,
00:29:11
some people do that. They have trouble
00:29:12
there and they go off and do great.
00:29:15
>> Um, I didn't really, it didn't really
00:29:18
bother me that much.
00:29:20
>> I got one sketch on
00:29:22
>> for the not
00:29:24
>> for the season. Yeah,
00:29:26
>> I got one sketch on.
00:29:29
It's like and it reminded me a bit of a
00:29:31
standup in a way when I would I'd be
00:29:34
waiting to go on and then I don't know
00:29:37
somebody famous would come in and yeah
00:29:39
>> I'd get bumped and bumped again and
00:29:42
>> and I was actually glad I got bumped
00:29:44
because I didn't want to go on anyway.
00:29:47
>> I was happy I was happy not to go on and
00:29:50
so
00:29:52
I don't know writers made such a big
00:29:53
deal about
00:29:55
if their sketch was going to be on. I I
00:29:57
didn't really care that much.
00:29:59
>> Yeah,
00:30:00
>> it it didn't it didn't really bother me.
00:30:02
>> Well, when I was there writing, all I
00:30:03
cared about was getting picked up again
00:30:04
for the next year because of just no
00:30:06
money. So, I just don't want to look
00:30:07
like an [ __ ] And they'd call Gervitz
00:30:09
and Brad Gay and go Lauren would go, "I
00:30:11
don't know. We may bring them back." So,
00:30:13
I'd have to get rid of my apartment.
00:30:15
>> And every every year I did that. And
00:30:17
then I dra There wasn't Door Dash
00:30:20
ladies. It was drag your apartment, you
00:30:22
know, your mattress down the stairs, and
00:30:24
then you got to reput your part. My
00:30:27
apartment was literally a bed, a desk,
00:30:29
anything I could just literally carry.
00:30:31
And then two months later, we'll bring
00:30:33
them back. And then I'm like, so I got
00:30:35
to go move back, find an apartment. It's
00:30:37
so dumb. But they like to keep you on
00:30:38
the edge of your seat there.
00:30:40
>> So you didn't have Lauren. Lauren was
00:30:41
not
00:30:41
>> Oh, you didn't have Lauren?
00:30:42
>> No, I didn't have Lauren.
00:30:43
>> Oh, I was just doing a impression. It
00:30:45
was a 10 out of 10. Unfortunately, you
00:30:46
didn't know.
00:30:48
>> No, he's hosted twice. I knew you were
00:30:50
doing Lauren. Yeah,
00:30:51
>> it was a very subtle, you know.
00:30:53
>> No, Dick Dick everol.
00:30:55
>> It's kind of a sporting event someone
00:30:57
said about SNL. It's rock and roll. It's
00:30:59
loud. I mean, there are there are subtle
00:31:01
Jack Handy used to do his deep thoughts
00:31:03
and there are subtle sketches.
00:31:04
>> It's funny,
00:31:05
>> but I think I heard that you and Jerry
00:31:08
just said for sure at this point, we're
00:31:10
just going to do the show for ourselves.
00:31:11
We're not going to try to project what
00:31:13
the network or even the audience will
00:31:14
like. That's what I felt that Seinfeld,
00:31:17
you know,
00:31:19
Yeah. That's what we did.
00:31:20
>> Yeah. So,
00:31:22
>> yeah. But you were
00:31:23
>> I remember we went out to dinner very
00:31:25
early on
00:31:27
>> and I and I I said I I can't let how are
00:31:31
they letting us do this? I was shocked.
00:31:36
>> Were the audiences biting on it though?
00:31:37
It was in front of an audience, right?
00:31:39
>> Yeah.
00:31:39
>> They were biting. So, you thought, well,
00:31:41
something's working here.
00:31:44
seemed like it
00:31:45
>> because when we were doing ours, I like
00:31:46
to keep comparing like they're the exact
00:31:48
same. When we were doing uh ours or any
00:31:50
any sitcom, they would do it and then it
00:31:53
would get a medium laugh and then we
00:31:54
liked it all week. The people that we
00:31:57
thought were funny to each other and
00:31:59
then they go, "Listen, the um you know,
00:32:01
the youth prisoners that they bust in
00:32:03
for the show uh aren't biting on this
00:32:05
one, so let's dumb it down a little
00:32:07
bit." And then I go, "Well, let's not
00:32:08
wind up with the one that these guys
00:32:10
like because we believed in these
00:32:12
jokes." and then they're scrambling and
00:32:14
trying stuff. I'm like then I don't even
00:32:16
know what winds up on the show, but you
00:32:17
go you can't do that. Like it's better
00:32:18
to have something where you just pick it
00:32:20
and say
00:32:21
>> this is our style. This is our vibe like
00:32:23
it.
00:32:24
>> Well, it was it was new and we've gone
00:32:25
through Cheers, Mary Tyler Moore, MASH,
00:32:27
all these brilliant sitcoms, halfhour
00:32:29
shows, and all of a sudden there's a
00:32:31
show with a puffy jacket or a soup Nazi.
00:32:34
It just was instantly a different
00:32:36
sensibility when I saw it.
00:32:38
>> And uh I saw at least 13 of them.
00:32:42
I don't know how many I've seen, but um
00:32:45
>> we we didn't even we didn't even know
00:32:48
how to write a a sitcom.
00:32:51
>> We we'd never done it before.
00:32:53
>> Mhm.
00:32:53
>> You didn't have bad. You didn't know how
00:32:55
to do a bad one.
00:32:56
>> And there was no um there was no
00:32:58
writer's room.
00:32:59
>> Mhm.
00:33:01
>> Oh, really?
00:33:02
>> Yeah. We didn't have a writer's room.
00:33:03
Who wrote? Well, we knew some SNL people
00:33:05
that wrote on there, but was it I heard
00:33:08
the idea was people would walk into a
00:33:10
cold like freezer room and then it was
00:33:13
you sitting there in a chair in the dark
00:33:14
and they would pitch
00:33:18
>> and then
00:33:18
>> I was always very nice.
00:33:20
>> If you didn't like it, you would hear
00:33:22
shame and they'd walk out. But they said
00:33:25
it was they make it more than it is.
00:33:27
They probably because they go we'd have
00:33:28
to wait and then we go in and pitch and
00:33:31
then Larry would just shake us and they
00:33:33
you you're you have a big laugh and so
00:33:35
they loved it if they could make if they
00:33:37
could make Larry laugh in the pitch.
00:33:39
>> I I I was always very nice to everyone
00:33:42
who came in.
00:33:42
>> I could imagine
00:33:43
>> you're a good crowd right now. You're
00:33:44
just you're very uh open when I see you
00:33:46
out in the world. I don't see that much,
00:33:48
but
00:33:48
>> you always seem very loose and friendly
00:33:50
and there's no people I think people
00:33:52
think of this Kromagin thing that's like
00:33:54
a little
00:33:55
>> cuz it's from the show.
00:33:56
>> That's No, that's me. This is this this
00:33:59
is the act.
00:34:00
>> Yeah.
00:34:05
Do more people talk to you? What do they
00:34:07
talk to you about in order? They know
00:34:08
you. Is it Seinfeld or is it Curb or is
00:34:10
it something else
00:34:11
>> now?
00:34:12
>> Yeah.
00:34:12
>> Well, now it's Curb.
00:34:14
>> It's just Curb all the time. Curb. Curb.
00:34:15
Curb. Seinfeld. Curb. Curb. Seinfeld.
00:34:22
>> Was Jerry ever like Jerry was being sort
00:34:24
of a stoic? You know, he doesn't like
00:34:26
people being neurotic and creating
00:34:28
problems because I've gotten to know him
00:34:30
a little bit. I did comedians and cars
00:34:31
and stuff
00:34:32
>> and so then I realized when he is abrupt
00:34:35
about that he's really slightly annoyed
00:34:37
that someone would create a problem you
00:34:39
know out of nothing. So he would just
00:34:41
I'd say I don't know about my act. I
00:34:43
don't how do you write new jokes? Just
00:34:45
write them you know he was like
00:34:48
you know and at first I was like is this
00:34:51
guy aggressive?
00:34:53
>> No just he doesn't like neurotic
00:34:56
comedians going I don't want to play
00:34:59
that club. Don't play it.
00:35:03
I mean, is he like that with you? I
00:35:04
mean, once I understood where he was
00:35:06
coming from, we had him in here and it
00:35:08
was I totally got it. He does not like
00:35:12
>> problems that don't need to exist. And
00:35:14
he just No.
00:35:16
>> Yeah. I like I liked his stance when I
00:35:18
said it he doesn't do that many
00:35:20
specials. And I said, "All the comics
00:35:22
now, they do a special for an hour and
00:35:24
then they have to throw away the
00:35:26
material." And he goes, "Why do they
00:35:27
have to throw it away?" I go,
00:35:29
I don't want to throw it. I go, I have
00:35:31
stuff it takes so long to sharpen it and
00:35:32
get it to [ __ ] work. And when I go on
00:35:34
the road, they want to see a show that
00:35:36
works. I don't want to start from
00:35:38
scratch. And he goes, listen, he talks
00:35:41
to me like I'm a child. He goes, listen,
00:35:42
don't throw it away. He goes, do the
00:35:44
jokes at work. He goes, people think
00:35:46
they have too many jokes that work. He
00:35:48
said, when you boil it down, every great
00:35:50
comic probably has an hour 15 in their
00:35:52
whole career that's just killers. And I
00:35:54
think Leno's like that, too. They just
00:35:56
boil down to like get what works and do
00:35:59
it. And if some of them are great jokes,
00:36:02
it's like songs. I like that. I like
00:36:04
when someone does something I like.
00:36:05
Especially comic, I go, "This is my
00:36:06
favorite one. I'm glad they're doing
00:36:07
it." I don't want to see cuz specials
00:36:10
get watered down over time and I'm like,
00:36:11
"Ah, another one. What the [ __ ] What do
00:36:13
you got left in the
00:36:14
>> There's two jokes of Jerry that's still
00:36:16
stick with me that are one was the moose
00:36:19
gets lifted out of Alaska and it's up in
00:36:21
the sky and it wakes up and what what
00:36:24
does the moose think?" I guess I can fly
00:36:26
now. I just thought that was a great
00:36:29
one. And then the eulogy one. You know
00:36:31
the eulogy one.
00:36:32
>> What's that one?
00:36:33
>> The number one fear of all human beings
00:36:34
are is public speaking. So at any
00:36:37
funeral, the person giving the eulogy
00:36:39
would rather be in the casket.
00:36:41
>> It's a great joke.
00:36:42
>> That's good.
00:36:42
>> Yeah. So you had a great partner and he
00:36:45
had a great partner.
00:36:45
>> Yeah, we had a we had a great time.
00:36:47
>> Yeah.
00:36:49
But you'll be remembered for Curb. My
00:36:51
point is this. No, I don't.
00:36:52
>> Curb's do an impression. do an
00:36:55
impression. Um, you did Bernie Sanders.
00:36:58
>> Yeah.
00:36:59
>> Okay. What's your memory of that? I just
00:37:01
did Biden. I was like, I don't know.
00:37:04
>> So, the there was a debate in uh 200
00:37:08
the election was 2016.
00:37:12
Um,
00:37:13
>> and Bernie was running, Hillary was
00:37:15
running.
00:37:16
>> Yeah. So there was a debate.
00:37:18
>> Mhm.
00:37:18
>> And then I think it was probably
00:37:22
I think the debate was 2015.
00:37:25
>> Yeah.
00:37:27
>> And I had never and so I'm li When
00:37:30
Bernie Sanders started to talk
00:37:32
>> Mhm.
00:37:33
>> everything he was saying I would repeat.
00:37:35
I don't know if you ever do that
00:37:37
>> sometimes.
00:37:38
>> All of a sudden be because he sounded so
00:37:40
familiar to me because we're both from
00:37:42
Brooklyn,
00:37:42
>> right? that I was able in a way to just
00:37:45
tap into, you know, the way he talked.
00:37:48
>> Yeah.
00:37:48
>> And and he would say something and I
00:37:50
would repeat it.
00:37:52
>> And then my then my my agent
00:37:56
>> Mhm.
00:37:56
>> called me when the debate was over just
00:37:58
to talk about it. Ari Emanuel, he said,
00:38:00
"Did you see that?" I said, and I said,
00:38:03
"Of course I saw it. What do you What do
00:38:05
you think?" And he goes, "Okay, I'm
00:38:08
calling on Michaels."
00:38:10
>> Perfect.
00:38:12
Five minutes later,
00:38:14
Lauren is on the phone with Ari and
00:38:18
uh that was on a Tuesday and on Saturday
00:38:21
I'm doing the show.
00:38:22
>> Oh, fun.
00:38:22
>> So, you have the 84 experience, then all
00:38:24
of a sudden 2015, you come on, you do
00:38:27
Bernie and it is a smash. I mean, it's
00:38:29
like, oh my god, of course, Larry David.
00:38:31
And you killed.
00:38:32
>> Must have been fun.
00:38:33
>> It was fun. Yeah,
00:38:35
>> because everything you said, you got a
00:38:36
laugh.
00:38:36
>> Yeah, it was fun.
00:38:37
>> Yeah.
00:38:38
>> Did you go to the 50th? You went to the
00:38:39
40th. You did a lot in the 40th. I
00:38:41
thought
00:38:41
>> I was I did Yeah. I was in the I went to
00:38:43
the 40th and I was in the audience and I
00:38:46
did some bit in the audience.
00:38:47
>> Yeah. Yeah.
00:38:49
>> And the 50th I went but I didn't do
00:38:52
anything.
00:38:52
>> Yeah.
00:38:52
>> But I got sick at both of them.
00:38:54
>> Okay. Good.
00:38:55
>> The 40th
00:38:56
>> given the co in 2015.
00:38:59
>> What would you got sick at the 40th?
00:39:02
>> Yeah. And I was doing a play at the
00:39:04
time.
00:39:05
>> And um I was I had to do the play with
00:39:08
like 102 102 temperature, you know.
00:39:12
>> Um cuz you got to go on.
00:39:14
>> It's so gross to be like I got to go on.
00:39:17
Yeah.
00:39:18
>> And then and then I got sick again at
00:39:20
the at the 50th. Got the flu. I think
00:39:22
>> you know something must be there. When I
00:39:23
hosted last time I got sick during
00:39:25
dress, the worst [ __ ] anxiety riddle
00:39:28
time. In the middle of a sketch they go,
00:39:30
"Come on, come on." And I stood up. I
00:39:31
was in like a UPS outfit and I go and
00:39:35
then I sat back down on the set and they
00:39:36
go, "Come on." The band's like, "You got
00:39:39
90 seconds." And I go, "I don't feel
00:39:42
good." And I laid down on the floor and
00:39:45
everyone's like, "What the [ __ ] is going
00:39:46
on?" So they walk me to the dressing
00:39:48
room, put me in the bathroom. I lay on
00:39:50
the floor and the audience is still
00:39:52
there.
00:39:52
>> Wow. So they, it was the last sketch,
00:39:55
they just wrapped and they let him out
00:39:57
and then they're pounding on the door
00:39:58
going and I hear him going, "If he
00:40:00
doesn't come out, we have, we're going
00:40:01
to have to put a rerun on. We got to
00:40:02
tell NBC." And I'm laying on the floor
00:40:04
sweating. I got I don't know if I was
00:40:05
food poisoning. Then I started barfing.
00:40:08
>> And then I just sat there my UPS uniform
00:40:10
going, "There could be more stress
00:40:12
already. You're sick." And everyone,
00:40:14
including Lauren, is behind the door
00:40:15
going, "Are we doing this? It's fine if
00:40:18
we're not. We just have to." And so I
00:40:21
finally get the door and I go, I mean, I
00:40:22
can try. And then they go, oh, all
00:40:25
right, let's pull the rerun. Let's just
00:40:27
try it. And uh,
00:40:28
>> wow.
00:40:29
>> I started to feel a little better and I
00:40:30
got some food in me. And I was like, I
00:40:32
don't know what happened. I got the
00:40:33
whammy. And then
00:40:34
>> I did a good solid 70% I gave. And uh,
00:40:39
the guy in the UPS sketch, the writer, I
00:40:41
could see him in the back going, "Yeah,
00:40:42
you're real [ __ ] hero." Because
00:40:44
obviously that sketch got cut because I
00:40:46
don't think I even finished it.
00:40:47
>> You know what I mean? The thing about it
00:40:49
when I was doing it and and I was sick
00:40:51
>> Mhm.
00:40:52
>> and and I remember thinking during the
00:40:55
middle of it I I don't feel sick. I I
00:40:58
don't some something.
00:40:59
>> Yeah. Your adrenaline maybe or
00:41:00
something.
00:41:01
>> That's remarkable. I I felt like Fraser
00:41:03
in the 15th round last time I hosted
00:41:05
like really now can I do this? And then
00:41:08
the same thing
00:41:09
>> just pass the applause, the laughs. I
00:41:12
mean we were hosting was good
00:41:13
experiences or was it
00:41:15
>> not really?
00:41:16
>> Yeah it was. It was okay.
00:41:18
>> What did Did Lauren give you a thumbs up
00:41:20
or what did Lauren say to you?
00:41:22
>> Well, they they invited me to to do it
00:41:24
again. So, I I guess it wasn't a total
00:41:26
bomb, but I had You know, the the
00:41:29
hardest part was having to prepare a
00:41:32
monologue.
00:41:33
>> Yeah. Yeah.
00:41:34
>> Cuz I hadn't been on in in a long time.
00:41:36
>> Expect the world from you.
00:41:37
>> So, I had I had to write a monologue and
00:41:40
then do it in different clubs.
00:41:43
>> Oh, you had to go out. Yeah.
00:41:44
>> Oh, yeah. That was
00:41:46
>> that's a lot of work. Just do Q&A with
00:41:48
the with the with the cast,
00:41:51
>> you know.
00:41:51
>> Yeah, that's the fake you singing would
00:41:54
have been funny.
00:41:55
>> Yeah.
00:41:56
>> In a club, they go, "We have a guest
00:41:58
here, Larry Dave." And you walk up. So,
00:41:59
dogs are funny. And everyone's like,
00:42:00
"What's he doing?"
00:42:01
>> And and then a half hour before the show
00:42:04
at 11:00,
00:42:06
>> I was called up to Lauren's office and
00:42:08
the sensor was there.
00:42:10
>> Oh.
00:42:10
>> And the sensor said uh that I couldn't
00:42:13
do this. I couldn't do this bit.
00:42:16
>> Oh, at 11.
00:42:17
>> Yeah, at 11:00.
00:42:19
>> [ __ ] off. And there two bits they they
00:42:21
didn't want me to do.
00:42:22
>> A Come on.
00:42:24
>> Oh, please.
00:42:25
>> And then
00:42:27
I went
00:42:28
>> Well, the other one, whatever.
00:42:29
>> You know, I'm not going I'm not going to
00:42:31
I got I'm going to do it.
00:42:32
>> You're not going to do it?
00:42:33
>> Well, you said you're going to you're
00:42:34
>> So, I said, "No, I'm going to
00:42:36
>> Oh, you said you're going to do it."
00:42:37
>> I said, "Yeah, I can't." I said, "I
00:42:38
can't. I I have to do it."
00:42:39
>> Well, you have nothing.
00:42:40
>> And I go, "Yeah." I go, "Why? Why is it
00:42:42
offensive? I don't get it. Who's gonna
00:42:44
be offended by this? Lauren Lauren after
00:42:48
five minutes of this said, "I I I can't
00:42:51
I can't do him." But
00:42:53
he said like
00:42:56
he said to the sensor, "I don't think
00:42:58
you're going to win this one." Yeah.
00:43:00
>> Oh, he said to sensor.
00:43:01
>> He said that to the Yeah.
00:43:03
>> Um I don't think you're going to win
00:43:05
this one.
00:43:06
>> Yeah, that's exactly it. Let's get Larry
00:43:08
to make
00:43:09
>> like, you know, um you can only take so
00:43:12
much from a Larry David.
00:43:14
>> We've wasted Larry's time enough. Let
00:43:16
him go down.
00:43:17
>> Check his celebrity net worth and you'll
00:43:19
see that he truly is.
00:43:21
>> You know, when I when I hosted a great
00:43:23
story about me,
00:43:24
>> we can cut this out.
00:43:26
>> Oh, we already did. Um no, I had when I
00:43:29
hosted I had it was Sandler was in my
00:43:33
trick monologue. I'm only telling this
00:43:35
because it's kind of similar where uh
00:43:37
he's the audience member, but he's
00:43:38
playing a goofy guy that he used to do.
00:43:40
>> So, he was there that weekend. He goes,
00:43:42
"I'll come and we'll do that. That'll be
00:43:43
your monologue so I can worry about the
00:43:45
13 sketches that are about to bomb."
00:43:47
>> And so, that morning, Saturday, they
00:43:50
say, Adam goes, "I got a water boy
00:43:52
opened that weekend big and he had to
00:43:53
fly back to LA." And he goes, "I can't
00:43:55
do it, pal." I was like, "Oh, shit." So,
00:43:58
I couldn't cover it because it was his
00:43:59
character. And I'm like, "What's my
00:44:00
monologue?" And then we're like, "Okay,
00:44:02
rehearsal." And I'm like and going guys
00:44:04
I got to get a monologue at one of the
00:44:05
breaks
00:44:06
>> and they go and everyone does just do
00:44:08
standup but I hadn't done it for a while
00:44:11
and I had definitely hadn't done a club
00:44:12
or anything so there's no practice which
00:44:14
you need a little even when we were at
00:44:16
the 50th I just did a set with Chris
00:44:19
Rock and Nate Batsi just for fun because
00:44:21
we were out having dinner and they go oh
00:44:22
Melany and Steve Martin and Martin Short
00:44:24
were just here doing standup. They all
00:44:26
came in, everyone did a set just like
00:44:28
everyone bumped. Super fun night. But I
00:44:30
don't get to do that. So I just go, "Oh,
00:44:32
I have this one in my act about a polar
00:44:33
bear and about this other one." And then
00:44:35
they go, "Just do that." So the only
00:44:36
time I rehearsed it was at dress or
00:44:38
right before dress, you know, to try it.
00:44:40
But I couldn't really remember it all.
00:44:42
And then I had to sit my dressing and
00:44:43
go, "Wow, how does that one go?" So
00:44:45
scary. It went all right. But I know the
00:44:47
monologue. It's It's all
00:44:49
>> How come you didn't get them on cards?
00:44:51
>> I got it. Oh, because I had to tell
00:44:53
cards what to put and I just said just
00:44:55
forget it. Just put monkey joke polar
00:44:57
bear.
00:44:58
>> Oh, okay.
00:44:58
>> And and go to a commercial when I start
00:45:00
[ __ ] crying.
00:45:02
>> I don't like standup either. I mean,
00:45:03
honestly, if anytime a show was
00:45:05
canceled, I was happy.
00:45:06
>> You're happy, right?
00:45:07
>> But if I go up and I'm killing, I go,
00:45:08
"Well, this is kind of fun." But I never
00:45:10
want to go. And I don't like
00:45:11
>> I'm exactly the same way.
00:45:12
>> I never want to be in a de facto comedy
00:45:15
competition. Go to the comedy store,
00:45:16
there's 10 comics. I'm gonna try new
00:45:18
stuff. They're doing their a stuff. Lean
00:45:20
into it. Ah, you know,
00:45:22
>> and I just don't like the people. You
00:45:24
You were one of the best tonight. I
00:45:25
mean, what do I need that for?
00:45:27
>> I'm just like you.
00:45:28
>> Do you do corporates? Do they they call
00:45:30
you to come in?
00:45:30
>> Uhuh.
00:45:32
>> Oh, they're fun.
00:45:33
>> Somebody's got enough money.
00:45:34
>> No, I I I don't get asked.
00:45:36
>> Oh, yeah. I It would be fun.
00:45:38
>> Really? I'm going to talk to my people.
00:45:40
>> Have you ever been in in a headlock by
00:45:43
another adult male as as an adult? Cuz I
00:45:46
a the CEO was drunk and had me at a
00:45:48
corporate event. Can you do the church
00:45:50
guy?
00:45:51
>> It's funny you should ask me that
00:45:52
because at the um at the 50th
00:45:56
>> I I was introduced to Paul McCartney
00:46:01
>> and and I said to him, "Has anyone ever
00:46:04
I said to him, "Has anyone ever punched
00:46:06
you in the mouth?"
00:46:09
>> Instead of, "Hello, we love all your
00:46:11
albums."
00:46:12
>> Let me ask you a question. Have you ever
00:46:13
been hit in the face with a with a fist?
00:46:14
Has anybody ever punched you?
00:46:16
>> That's [ __ ] great. He must have loved
00:46:18
it.
00:46:18
>> Oh, wait. We were at dinner.
00:46:19
>> What did he say?
00:46:21
>> Yeah, the dinner. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You
00:46:23
were sitting right next to Paul.
00:46:24
>> Yeah,
00:46:24
>> you were hilarious. He was a good
00:46:26
laugher, too.
00:46:26
>> Yeah,
00:46:27
>> he was into it. I think he likes having
00:46:28
a charmer. I mean, but what did he say
00:46:30
after you said he just started laughing?
00:46:32
>> No, he there was an incident. There was
00:46:33
an incident there was an incident in his
00:46:36
youth when he was like 13 or 14 and
00:46:38
somebody headbutted him. He told me
00:46:40
>> he's he's so charming. There's something
00:46:42
on YouTube. You can look it up. But
00:46:44
McCartney's going into a nightclub with
00:46:46
people. This is like in with five years
00:46:48
in LA. The the dormman doesn't recognize
00:46:51
him and they no you can't go. And then
00:46:53
you hear Paul say we've got to write
00:46:55
more songs. We got we better go back to
00:46:58
drawing but we're not big enough. You
00:47:00
know we're not famous enough.
00:47:00
>> So anyway
00:47:01
>> that was a night I'm going to ask him.
00:47:02
>> I was sitting next to Chris Rock and I
00:47:04
came late and I felt embarrassed but uh
00:47:06
I was 100% not invited. I was Chris I
00:47:09
was meeting for dinner and he goes just
00:47:10
come here and then I realized I was
00:47:13
crashing at dinner. He was invited to or
00:47:15
something. Whatever. So anyway, I went
00:47:17
and Paul was very nice, whoever threw
00:47:18
that thing, just like 10 people. But the
00:47:21
funny part was I was sitting just where
00:47:22
I could see kind of between you guys are
00:47:24
on the same side as me. So I'm trying to
00:47:26
crank my head between Chris and you and
00:47:28
see Paul. Here he goes. And Larry's
00:47:30
killing. And then every time Paul gets
00:47:32
to a story where he says something like
00:47:33
I told you where he's like,
00:47:35
>> you know, yesterday the way I came up
00:47:37
with it was one night when I was
00:47:38
dreaming the guy, who had potato skins?
00:47:40
Then he leaves and I go and then he's
00:47:42
putting this [ __ ] down. He goes, "Top
00:47:43
off your water. Top off." And I'm like,
00:47:45
I'm trying to. And then he goes, I go,
00:47:47
it's a quarter inch. We're topped off.
00:47:48
And he's like, I got a little more in
00:47:49
there. Then he comes out and I go and he
00:47:51
goes, and that's how I came with
00:47:51
yesterday. I go, uh-huh. Then he goes,
00:47:53
the last thing John ever said to me,
00:47:55
hey, coconut trip, hot plate. Hot plate.
00:47:57
I'm like, god damn, dude. I'm missing
00:47:59
every this thing. I couldn't pay enough
00:48:01
to hear Paul McCartney.
00:48:02
>> The dichotomy between how humble and
00:48:05
liverini is and the genius of the music.
00:48:08
We sat down, you know, for a plunk, you
00:48:10
know, John and I, like looking in the
00:48:12
mirror, and that's how we came up with
00:48:14
Abby Road, you know. We just plunked,
00:48:16
you know, it's like, what the [ __ ]
00:48:18
>> What about What about Lennon? What would
00:48:20
he say?
00:48:20
>> What would he say? Well,
00:48:23
>> let's see. John Lennon. Yeah. Uh, John
00:48:26
would be more nasal, you know. Co was
00:48:28
always one of those. Ringo is more like
00:48:30
peace and love. They were me brothers.
00:48:33
They're me brothers. Me brothers. They
00:48:35
me brothers. Peace and love. Can you say
00:48:36
anything else? No. for me brothers made
00:48:38
it love and polls like this and George
00:48:41
is sort of langarious sort of laidback
00:48:44
you know they were the primary song
00:48:46
writers for me they were my brothers you
00:48:49
know so anyway I'm obsessed with
00:48:53
>> too much
00:48:55
I'm just trying to make you laugh
00:48:56
because you you came you drove 300 miles
00:48:59
>> that was easy
00:49:05
that Kim Kardashian that one.
00:49:07
>> Kim Kardashian one.
00:49:08
>> Oh, that's Well, I do John Lennon
00:49:10
talking to Paul John from heaven because
00:49:11
I want to hear them talk, you know, and
00:49:14
uh you know what happened to the big
00:49:16
orange man, you know, well, he's
00:49:17
president again, but he was beat by
00:49:19
another man, you know, named Joe Biden,
00:49:21
you know, and he goes, wasn't he what
00:49:23
about didn't
00:49:25
Kanye West, what happened to him? He
00:49:27
went flew away. We don't know what
00:49:29
happened to him, you know. Wasn't he
00:49:30
with a woman named Kim Kardashian? What
00:49:33
how's she doing? I'm doing the short
00:49:35
version. John knows a couple little
00:49:36
things.
00:49:37
>> They talk regularly.
00:49:38
>> Couple of pop references.
00:49:39
>> Well, you know, she's a nice girl, you
00:49:41
know. Well, how does she make a living?
00:49:43
Well, she takes pictures of her bottom.
00:49:45
What's so special about her bottom? It's
00:49:48
not a NORMAL BOTTOM. IT'S a bottom 2.0.
00:49:53
It's like God made a fanny and attached
00:49:55
a person as an afterthought. The whole
00:49:58
family has big bottoms. All of them are
00:50:00
doing it. And if they fall on their
00:50:02
backs, they're sort of like turtles.
00:50:04
They can't get up again. They have to
00:50:05
have turn wranglers lift them up. You
00:50:08
know, the whole family's doing it. One
00:50:10
gentleman got so frustrated he became a
00:50:12
woman. So that's that's a truncated
00:50:15
version of it.
00:50:16
>> You have a great sense of humor. Can you
00:50:17
come back tomorrow?
00:50:18
>> Yeah.
00:50:20
>> Well, I love impressions.
00:50:22
>> Me, too. If I see someone.
00:50:24
>> Yeah. Bill was on my show and he was
00:50:27
>> Oh, he's so
00:50:29
>> Oh my god. Just Yeah. Did he do one of
00:50:31
my bits? I think Burton Kirk or Jimmy
00:50:36
Stewart.
00:50:36
>> No, he gave you credit. He did Bur and
00:50:38
Kirk. Yeah, he g He gave you full
00:50:40
credit.
00:50:40
>> I know. I know. It was flattering how
00:50:42
much he loves it cuz I think he's
00:50:44
absolutely brilliant, you know. But
00:50:45
yeah, he loves that Burton Kirk thing.
00:50:47
So
00:50:48
>> Uh-huh.
00:50:50
I want you.
00:50:53
I want you. No.
00:50:56
Now take it easy, son. We're just two
00:50:58
men having fun. Don't keep bucking
00:51:01
around like that. I only got so much
00:51:02
play down there. You keep bucking around
00:51:04
like that. So great.
00:51:09
I want you. What are you going to do,
00:51:12
cowboy?
00:51:13
Come on. I'll take you. I do this for 20
00:51:15
minutes. I once had John Love it throw
00:51:17
up in a parking garage cuz I'll do it
00:51:19
for 20 minutes. But
00:51:20
>> cuz he was laughing so hard
00:51:21
>> because it goes on and on and on and on,
00:51:23
you know.
00:51:24
>> [ __ ]
00:51:25
>> Do I keep doing bits?
00:51:26
>> No, we're doing good. I think maybe we
00:51:28
waste enough of his time.
00:51:30
This is my current favorite. Do you want
00:51:31
me to do it?
00:51:32
>> What? Yeah. Do one more.
00:51:33
>> It's not. This is Jimmy Stewart, which I
00:51:35
think Conan, but trying to come up with
00:51:38
a new Jimmy Stewart thing is that
00:51:40
someone's going to perform oral sex on
00:51:42
him, and he does it as Jimmy Stewart
00:51:43
case. It's not X-rated.
00:51:45
>> Okay. I I I know this one, too.
00:51:47
>> Yeah. All right. No, no, no. You don't
00:51:50
don't touch it. I What? No. Just Just
00:51:53
slow down. Now, I want you to to slowly
00:51:57
turn your head and look away. Yeah.
00:52:00
Yeah, that's it. Just look away. Now, I
00:52:02
want you to forget about it. Pretend you
00:52:04
never saw it. Now, slowly, but ever
00:52:07
slowly, turn your head back around and
00:52:11
discover it again. That's it. That's the
00:52:14
look I want. Just discover it. You're
00:52:17
>> just consider it now slowly, you know.
00:52:20
So, that's that's my latest.
00:52:22
>> That's just hilarious. I've never done
00:52:23
this many bits on a show.
00:52:25
>> That's so funny.
00:52:26
>> Discover it and consider it.
00:52:28
>> Well, I have one where he leaves the
00:52:29
house. Now, I'm going to go around the
00:52:30
corner and get a soda pop. And I want
00:52:32
you to forget all about it. You never
00:52:34
saw it. And I'm going to come back and I
00:52:37
want you to slowly turn
00:52:40
and discover it again like it's brand
00:52:43
new.
00:52:45
Yeah. Yeah. No, no, don't don't don't
00:52:48
touch it. Just just think about it. Now,
00:52:50
back the head up again. I know I'm I'm
00:52:52
going to back up and go out in the
00:52:55
hallway.
00:52:56
>> So I see I'll just go for 20 minutes. Oh
00:52:59
my god. But
00:53:00
>> you're the greatest audience with me.
00:53:02
>> Well, I love impress.
00:53:03
>> That's a good closer.
00:53:04
>> I do, too.
00:53:05
>> It should be your closure. That's a
00:53:06
[ __ ] great one.
00:53:07
>> I'm I'm going to edit these things
00:53:08
together and release it as a special.
00:53:11
>> So funny. Holy cow.
00:53:12
>> Anything you need from us, Larry? You
00:53:14
do? All right.
00:53:14
>> Oh, no. I'm good. Thank you very much uh
00:53:16
for coming here. You're I You're just an
00:53:19
amazing um guest and I don't know what
00:53:22
to say other than um
00:53:24
>> I did the best I could.
00:53:26
>> You did great.
00:53:26
>> Um
00:53:27
>> we all didn't want to do this and we all
00:53:29
did it
00:53:30
>> and I think I'm proud of us all.
00:53:32
>> Did you want to go?
00:53:33
>> Yeah.
00:53:36
>> That's all I do with Jerry.
00:53:37
>> How many How many podcasts are there?
00:53:40
>> Over three million.
00:53:41
>> Over three million now.
00:53:43
>> No, honestly.
00:53:43
>> No. No. I think there's three million.
00:53:46
Does that seem too low?
00:53:47
>> Sounds like a joke. There's 3 million
00:53:49
podcasts in North America.
00:53:50
>> I don't know how how does everyone do
00:53:53
it? I mean,
00:53:53
>> we Googled it and that was over 3
00:53:55
million. That was about a year ago. So,
00:53:56
it's
00:53:56
>> most don't get past 30 episodes. So,
00:54:00
they come in and out, you know, but I
00:54:02
don't know how. Greg, here's our
00:54:03
producer. How do they
00:54:05
>> It seems easy. It's kind of hard to do.
00:54:07
>> Digital space is unlimited that we can
00:54:09
all just, you know,
00:54:10
>> it feels like the easiest thing in the
00:54:12
world. So, if you're an actor or if
00:54:14
you're doing anything in showbiz and
00:54:15
things are slow, you feel like you want
00:54:17
to do something, you know, like, well,
00:54:19
>> right.
00:54:20
>> And then it's like when people used to
00:54:21
watch the Kardashians, they wanted a
00:54:23
reality show. They go, hey, I argue
00:54:25
>> I hate my family, too. I yell at them in
00:54:27
the kitchen. I can do this show.
00:54:29
>> So, that's what they think. And then
00:54:30
they go to podcast and it's a little
00:54:32
trickier and tougher and a lot fizzle,
00:54:34
but uh some stick around. It's it's it's
00:54:37
a little bit to it.
00:54:39
>> It's a new tech. So, it's sort of like,
00:54:40
you know, you do the talk show and you
00:54:42
do the pre-in 2 minutes and they're
00:54:44
cutting and so this is just like us
00:54:47
hanging out. So, it's this new art form
00:54:49
of like shooting the rehearsal doing
00:54:51
halfbaked stuff. We don't have a script.
00:54:53
I had a few questions,
00:54:54
>> right? It's good to have a day.
00:54:55
>> So, it is fun. Um, it can be fun, you
00:54:58
know, just because of the freedom of it.
00:55:00
>> Yeah. And it's great that you're doing
00:55:01
it together.
00:55:02
>> Yeah.
00:55:02
>> I think Yeah, we we get along really
00:55:04
well.
00:55:04
>> Yeah. It's easier. And then if someone
00:55:07
else, whoever we got here, one of us
00:55:09
knows something about something. And but
00:55:11
we let them talk sometimes. We let you
00:55:13
talk a little bit.
00:55:14
>> Yeah. I said I said a couple of things.
00:55:16
Feel free to cut me out of the whole
00:55:17
thing.
00:55:17
>> We don't need too much me.
00:55:18
>> Well, I'd say I watched you on Conan and
00:55:21
I noticed this morning just and I said,
00:55:23
"Oh god, Larry loves to laugh." You
00:55:25
know, you know, like you you're like
00:55:28
maybe the funniest guy, whatever. Let's
00:55:29
just say he's arguably the funniest
00:55:31
person to last this generation. arguably
00:55:34
last 300
00:55:35
>> you're in the conversation.
00:55:36
>> I was the funniest person. So to make
00:55:38
that guy laugh is just a pleasure.
00:55:42
>> You heard the the Conan what podcast?
00:55:44
>> Yeah. Yeah.
00:55:44
>> Yeah.
00:55:45
>> And you guys are having such a good time
00:55:46
and I noticed cuz I haven't hung out
00:55:48
with you a lot. I just Larry loves to
00:55:50
laugh.
00:55:50
>> Yeah.
00:55:51
>> You know, and so that's why I just
00:55:53
thought I'd do a few things.
00:55:55
>> Um you know.
00:55:56
>> All right. By the way, when he did when
00:55:58
I did Curb, and this is the last thing
00:55:59
I'll say,
00:56:00
>> you had to cut some stuff out and you
00:56:02
called me
00:56:03
>> cuz very it's very tough to call
00:56:04
someone, tell them you had to cut
00:56:06
something. So, he told me and the the
00:56:08
funniest part was I said, "Okay, well, I
00:56:10
had a great time and thanks for putting
00:56:11
me on there." And it was and then you
00:56:13
felt guilty and you go, "Now I feel
00:56:14
bad." And I go, "Well, well, I I
00:56:17
understand it." And they go, "Are you
00:56:18
being sarcastic?" I go, "No, I I I know
00:56:20
that these shows go long and we adlib
00:56:22
forever and you've got to take some
00:56:23
stuff out." and you go, "All right, I'll
00:56:25
try to put it back in." And I go, "No,
00:56:27
it's fine." And it turned into another
00:56:29
episode cuz it was just funny to hear
00:56:30
you feel bad that you had to call me.
00:56:33
But it's hard to tell someone that. And
00:56:34
a lot of people say, "They never even
00:56:36
told me." I'm like, "It's hard to tell
00:56:38
people." Just it is what it is. If it
00:56:39
gets cut, it gets cut. But that was
00:56:40
nice.
00:56:41
>> The people who designed Seinfeld and
00:56:43
Kurb would have all that kind of
00:56:45
emotions because it's coming from all
00:56:46
this humanism. you're on both sides of
00:56:48
the
00:56:49
>> That makes sense that you would suddenly
00:56:50
feel bad because if you're a sensitive
00:56:52
>> instrument on Seinfeld I this guy I knew
00:56:54
paid a lot of money to be an extra
00:56:57
>> um for charity.
00:56:59
>> Mhm.
00:57:00
>> And
00:57:02
I inadvertently cut him out of the show
00:57:04
and he had a party. He was going to have
00:57:06
people over people over his house. Yeah.
00:57:10
>> Yeah. So Brad [ __ ] him. All right.
00:57:12
Okay. Thanks. Thanks, bud.
