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.
