00:00:08
you guys it's spade and Carvey here at
00:00:10
uh the old flying the wall dungeon doing
00:00:12
an intro for Drew Barrymore
00:00:16
once in a while garbage let us out but
00:00:20
uh oh Z Gallery thanks you like the
00:00:22
Furnishings
00:00:23
um so I was going to tell you we we we
00:00:27
have drew coming up right now and here's
00:00:30
a story that I didn't tell you before
00:00:31
are we on camera right yeah and I don't
00:00:33
think sorry we always are oh let me just
00:00:35
get let me guess Truman [ __ ] how you
00:00:37
doing what's up camera when we when I
00:00:41
when you no I I'm scared to ask her but
00:00:44
that movie Lost and Found I did oh a
00:00:46
couple people see it
00:00:48
um oh a couple people remember okay so
00:00:51
lost and found was this movie it was all
00:00:52
right but I did it we were looking for
00:00:54
the lead and so the guys that did the
00:00:57
money said
00:00:58
if you know Drew Barrymore she'd be
00:01:00
perfect I said oh she'd be great but it
00:01:01
was sort of in this time in her career
00:01:04
when uh she might have done it she might
00:01:06
have done it
00:01:07
and everyone loves Drew Barrymore so I
00:01:09
said oh we'd be so perfect it'd be great
00:01:11
so they said if you can get it to her we
00:01:13
can pay her price
00:01:15
and she had a quote I won't tell you
00:01:16
what it was but it wasn't crazy it was
00:01:18
good you know there's more than I got
00:01:20
but I said oh if you if we get her so I
00:01:22
got to her to her agent she said okay
00:01:24
let's have dinner
00:01:25
she read it and then about a week later
00:01:29
she said she'd do it anyway we blew it
00:01:30
we couldn't get her the money the guy
00:01:32
couldn't get her the money so it was a
00:01:34
big scam and I felt bad
00:01:36
and then uh and also and I think she
00:01:38
went and did a Wedding Singer which was
00:01:40
obviously a way better movie but
00:01:41
whatever anyway
00:01:43
that during this there was a time when
00:01:45
we were talking I think weakest
00:01:48
is this crazy and I I might be lying but
00:01:51
that's why I don't want to ask her
00:01:53
because what if it's not true but I in
00:01:55
my head I think we did and it was no big
00:01:56
deal it was just like funny or stupid
00:01:58
but no big romance but I think we kissed
00:02:01
and I I have to check my diary but she
00:02:04
has to check hers really and you should
00:02:06
check yours too wow
00:02:12
uh and Rowan Wilson wow that's
00:02:15
interesting you wouldn't you're not sure
00:02:17
you can I don't know I think that's
00:02:19
maybe a little bit of a disc wouldn't it
00:02:21
be like memorable
00:02:23
no because when she had that movie Never
00:02:24
Been Kissed I go oh I don't think so oh
00:02:27
but I was like but I don't know when we
00:02:31
did go out
00:02:32
once we we had dinner once and uh you
00:02:36
and Drew yeah
00:02:38
I've been dating lately and she goes
00:02:40
this is my 52nd date
00:02:46
I forgot his name I think you're friends
00:02:48
with him no I feel paternal toward her
00:02:51
she's I I you know I she's been a part
00:02:53
of America
00:02:55
since E.T she's you know and she's about
00:02:58
about as cute as a kid could ever be and
00:03:00
she was so great in that movie and um
00:03:03
and now she's still here I think the
00:03:05
thing I take away from Drew is just just
00:03:07
the positivity is real and it's how you
00:03:11
get things done in the world is by just
00:03:14
never letting the flag touch the ground
00:03:16
you don't she's just a force of nature
00:03:18
yeah I really do it all she's a producer
00:03:21
she's a writer she's a for former
00:03:23
obviously she yeah really helps women in
00:03:26
the industry she does it all and um got
00:03:29
a great talk show right now
00:03:30
so let's hear from her let's hear from
00:03:33
her this is this is I remember when I
00:03:35
met her she said you remind me of a kind
00:03:36
of a grosser version of E.T and I go oh
00:03:39
I didn't even see the movie so I don't
00:03:40
know what that meant but I go oh he's a
00:03:42
star I know well after our 52nd date you
00:03:46
know I just tried to be pissed I wish I
00:03:48
knew 50 First Dates what what what's
00:03:51
51st days is that her movie she was in I
00:03:53
don't know after our 52nd date I just as
00:03:56
a joke I got up and I because it's
00:03:58
before cell phones I go I have to Dana
00:04:02
called I'm sorry I was trying to do 18
00:04:04
but Johnny Carson came in I know oh
00:04:07
let's just go to the show my phone home
00:04:10
no Joni would say sorry Drew it's her
00:04:13
52nd date and uh I've got a call home
00:04:16
I I you know whatever David I'm glad
00:04:19
you're my IQ has lowered since the
00:04:22
podcast started I really everyone really
00:04:24
just did a test and everyone has heard
00:04:25
the podcast is stupid and I I can't
00:04:27
think stupider but I I everyone loves
00:04:30
Drew I'll put it that way all right
00:04:32
here's Drew
00:04:36
[Music]
00:04:40
I like this part of the podcast where we
00:04:43
don't know what's going on Bill Hader as
00:04:45
kind of a his voice has a treble
00:04:47
softness to it but then when he did
00:04:49
Daniel Day Lewis it just went incredibly
00:04:51
deep so his range is like really kind of
00:04:53
interesting because his talking voice is
00:04:55
very sort of soft
00:04:57
you know here and we had a great time
00:05:00
and he's like but I totally
00:05:03
I like that I try to do Daniel Lewis and
00:05:06
you guys both do it and I forgot I used
00:05:08
to do it like crazy I was his was so
00:05:10
great
00:05:11
um I feel like we you know at some point
00:05:14
we'll just tell I I was gonna say yeah
00:05:16
that if they said you were the best ever
00:05:18
I wouldn't slug him in the face but
00:05:20
there's 50 people that could be
00:05:22
mentioned you know there's it's just
00:05:24
people love to have lists yeah I don't
00:05:27
want Maya Rudolph to go what's what's
00:05:29
going on but he's definitely up there
00:05:30
well he just um it's kind of like Will
00:05:33
Forte they that middle knots that early
00:05:36
to 2010 or 12 whatever nuts had a lot I
00:05:41
know had a lot of had a lot of talent
00:05:44
that's why I listed all of them and I
00:05:46
forgot my Rudolph there's a lot of
00:05:47
talent where's that lady oh my God you
00:05:49

00:05:50
screaming it was on [ __ ] mute I
00:05:54
didn't want to interrupt you I was like
00:05:55
oh I guess they're going and riffing
00:05:57
I'll just sitting here you thought we
00:05:59
were ignoring you on the wall I was I
00:06:03
was listening in you were talking about
00:06:04
Maya Rudolph and the knots or the Otts
00:06:07
or whatever we're calling them and I
00:06:08
literally was like oh I guess when
00:06:10
they're ready they'll invite me in but
00:06:12
this these are like the high class
00:06:14
problems of our current world
00:06:17
um I you're on mute I can't see your
00:06:20
screen is off this is the new verbiage
00:06:22
for us but I actually have been sitting
00:06:24
here waiting
00:06:25
um to jump into the double dutch
00:06:29
um literally I'm so excited that you
00:06:33
guys would have me are you crazy
00:06:36
are you both of you so much I'm in I'm
00:06:39
double dutching with you right now and
00:06:40
I'm loving my wife said oh Drew's so
00:06:44
sweet she's so fun has so much energy
00:06:46
and I go you think I don't know I'll
00:06:48
tell you what happens but already yeah
00:06:49
you're exactly what she promised well
00:06:52
she's so kind and she's definitely right
00:06:55
about the energy part I'm a lot I'm like
00:06:58
a lab Labrador in heat I like the heat
00:07:01
yeah yeah I've heard people say that
00:07:04
yeah I am I but like with uh yeah well
00:07:09
that was mine go ahead no go ahead
00:07:13
then I when I'm happy when I'm intense I
00:07:17
think I'm a whole other metaphor but
00:07:19
when I'm happy I'm like Labrador and
00:07:20
heat panting probably trying to grab
00:07:23
your leg you know interesting well I
00:07:27
read I read um some things about you
00:07:29
last night and it was truly impressive
00:07:32
and exhausting how much you packed in so
00:07:36
I mean my Labrador and here I'm going
00:07:38
and how young you are from where I'm
00:07:40
perched it's like damn you got if where
00:07:43
does that come from where does the
00:07:45
where's the motor to do all this and
00:07:47
then become a producer and now this and
00:07:49
I don't know I can't even
00:07:51
uh any maybe maybe a hard question
00:07:54
that's more of an Oprah question or
00:07:55
Larry King I love it I I'm like I did
00:07:59
not expect the how do you do it question
00:08:02
that's traditionally a woman to woman oh
00:08:05
well yes and a mom working mom yeah yeah
00:08:08
I like like that you guys are asking it
00:08:12
because yeah we're real thinkers Drew
00:08:14
well we love we love women basically I
00:08:18
and I love and I love funny men so this
00:08:21
is a match made in heaven
00:08:24
um a win-win I I do it by burning the
00:08:28
candle at both ends uh I actually am
00:08:32
here editing our next issue of a
00:08:35
magazine um that we're making of course
00:08:37
and I um I
00:08:40
I think about it's weird a lot of people
00:08:43
will ask that question and I think I've
00:08:46
been so passive about my answer because
00:08:49
my humility wants to go no no no I don't
00:08:52
do that much let me turn it back to you
00:08:54
yes
00:08:55
um and um lately I've been for this
00:08:59
magazine
00:09:00
um and trying to think of
00:09:02
uh some content for it I've been looking
00:09:06
at the how
00:09:08
and the we not the how and the I but I
00:09:13
think that it's really messy and I was
00:09:18
brought up sort of we all lived in that
00:09:21
world where we would see those articles
00:09:22
where people were like 8 A.M I drink my
00:09:25
coffee and I do this okay Mark Wahlberg
00:09:27
2 A.M 10 30. I do this you know and I I
00:09:31
never lived that life and it seems so
00:09:34
type A and unattainable and I was more
00:09:37
the you never know where the day is
00:09:39
gonna take you Whimsical or I will burn
00:09:42
myself to a crisp and then I'll find
00:09:45
that pocket of rest and wellness
00:09:48
somewhere else uh so I don't I don't
00:09:52
know how anyone does it and if they do
00:09:55
it in an organized fashion they have my
00:09:58
deepest respect and if they feel like it
00:10:03
all feels like putting out fires and
00:10:06
kind of burning yourself out out and
00:10:09
it's all like a higgledy-piggledy mess
00:10:11
and it's super comedic and there are
00:10:14
chickens running through the frame and
00:10:17
like random funny [ __ ] is going on that
00:10:21
feels so true
00:10:24
um to our to my experience and um I
00:10:29
would never preach to anyone that I have
00:10:31
it together or that I'm a blueprint I am
00:10:34
just a work in progress and so far I'm
00:10:37
I'm I'm shocked uh in some ways that
00:10:42
like I am a relatively healthy person
00:10:44
because I feel like I don't live a very
00:10:46
healthy lifestyle geez and that's been
00:10:48
Drew Barrymore today uh we appreciate
00:10:51
you know that's amazing go ahead I have
00:10:53
a question no one argues that she's busy
00:10:55
Her IMDb looks like a CVS receipt
00:10:58
and and if you could see her Zoom it's
00:11:00
like it looks like House and Garden me
00:11:02
and Dana look like we're in a bunker and
00:11:04
Kabul yeah her place looks gorgeous it
00:11:07
looks like she looks
00:11:12
because I'm at the show and by the way
00:11:15
on my headstone will for sure say death
00:11:19
by inspo because I'll have inspired
00:11:21
myself into the grave like I can't even
00:11:25
look at a woman's shoe without going do
00:11:27
you mind if I take a quick picture of
00:11:29
that because that color tone would just
00:11:31
be so great for the packaging on the
00:11:34
next thing I'm making like I cannot I
00:11:38
can't stop and sometimes I feel like I
00:11:42
wish I could just like have like quick
00:11:44
temporary you know I I think that's
00:11:48
probably why I drank so much back in you
00:11:51
know most of my time what do you mean
00:11:53
you had a problem just shut it down I
00:11:56
was like just shut up dude at seven you
00:11:59
were like I can't take it anymore dude
00:12:01
you know what yeah
00:12:04
two seven I was paying the rent and
00:12:08
that's a lot of stress that that yeah a
00:12:11
fairly uncommon thing for a human being
00:12:14
in America to be uh paying the rent
00:12:17
seven true I can relate Dana I didn't
00:12:20
tell you this I was a child star too I
00:12:23
when I was uh my dad was in advertising
00:12:26
he was like a madman type of guy and
00:12:27
when I was I was five I was pretty cute
00:12:31
I had a good run from five to eight so
00:12:33
when I was five really I never heard
00:12:35
this my dad goes why don't you be in
00:12:39
this like Taco Bell commercial that
00:12:41
we're filming because they were part of
00:12:42
it he goes they need some kids we'll
00:12:43
throw you in we'll give you 10 bucks and
00:12:46
I was like holy [ __ ] so they they put 10
00:12:50
one dollar bills out for me on my desk I
00:12:53
probably got a thousand but they kept it
00:12:55
you know and they go here's your ten and
00:12:57
then I and then they took nine of it and
00:13:00
I go so you already took a cut I'm sure
00:13:03
before behind before I saw it then I get
00:13:05
10 and then you go we'll hold it and I
00:13:07
go wait is what's going on and then I
00:13:10
had a dollar left oh my God they go go
00:13:12
nuts
00:13:13
you guys Drew's like I hear that I was
00:13:16
still I didn't put down my waiter's
00:13:18
apron until 23 and a half you guys start
00:13:22
right out of kindergarten start
00:13:26
Rob can I ask you a question Drew
00:13:28
because you kind of thought talked about
00:13:30
like Reese Witherspoon okay she's
00:13:32
another
00:13:33
like how did she do all that and I heard
00:13:37
her kind of own it like in the way men
00:13:39
can sort of own it like okay I get out
00:13:42
of my way I can do anything basically
00:13:43
yeah is it difficult for you to have
00:13:46
that gear because people would say I'm
00:13:48
nice they'd say you're nice but you know
00:13:50
do where do you have that part of you
00:13:52
that has a ego like can kind of I do
00:13:56
yourself give yourself a pat on the back
00:13:58
you don't so that's why you just keep
00:14:00
going yeah and I hate those I and I know
00:14:04
Rhys
00:14:05
um so I I you know she's just incredible
00:14:09
that she is a good like hot question
00:14:12
mark of how the hell does she do it
00:14:15
um I um I I feel like I had uh so much
00:14:21
opportunity because of starting as a kid
00:14:23
that the gender effect never
00:14:28
um had me it never had my attention it
00:14:31
was squandered early because I started
00:14:33
working as a baby and kept working so I
00:14:36
never had the
00:14:38
um anything other than I I could do all
00:14:42
these things and they're my
00:14:43
opportunities to screw up or make
00:14:46
something of and
00:14:48
um there were men and women giving me
00:14:51
those opportunities
00:14:53
um I just wrote the forward to the new
00:14:55
ET book because it's the 40th
00:14:57
anniversary and I was talking about
00:14:59
Kathleen Kennedy and Melissa Matheson
00:15:00
you know I I saw women at work
00:15:04
um so uh I I just really didn't have
00:15:09
that I need to be aggressive or act like
00:15:14
a man to get anything done and I always
00:15:17
felt permission to check in with my
00:15:21
Idols the Go-Go's and Pippi Longstocking
00:15:24
who were all girl all the time but they
00:15:26
did everything that boys did and it
00:15:29
became my ethos on making Charlie's
00:15:30
Angels was why do women have to pretend
00:15:33
to be men in order to look strong and
00:15:36
capable because the truth is in my world
00:15:39
if I was kicking butt with my
00:15:41
girlfriends we would totally be talking
00:15:42
about last night's date while taking the
00:15:45
bad guy down and bad guy could be again
00:15:47
bad guy or a bad girl I've never been
00:15:51
affected luckily I've not had the
00:15:55
unfortunate
00:15:56
ingenue treatment of being held back or
00:16:00
as I started a production company at 19
00:16:03
and it was really in the era of the
00:16:05
power suit woman I was like intimidated
00:16:08
by that and just felt like screw it I'm
00:16:11
gonna be a girl with my corduroys and my
00:16:14
JanSport backpacks and the work is gonna
00:16:17
speak for me and no man has ever kept me
00:16:20
down they've only helped give me
00:16:21
opportunities as women have and I'm just
00:16:24
I'm a girl and I I think the one thing
00:16:27
that's always stuck out for me about men
00:16:30
first and foremost was that like a lot
00:16:34
of my comedy influence when I was young
00:16:36
came from Men there weren't a ton of
00:16:39
female comedians
00:16:42
um there's so many more now I feel like
00:16:45
the playing field is so much more equal
00:16:49
um so I identified men a lot with funny
00:16:53
and that was a good thing I didn't think
00:16:57
of men as my bosses or anyone who was
00:17:00
going to hold me back or I had to be
00:17:01
like them
00:17:03
fortunate Liberation my entire life like
00:17:06
that and I hate boss [ __ ] I hate it
00:17:09
boss lady it sounds like you're hanging
00:17:13
a pair of balls on you
00:17:15
um with a bitterness and I don't like
00:17:18
that because I don't have one bitter
00:17:20
bone in my body however if people have
00:17:22
to put you know metaphorical balls on or
00:17:25
a cape or do any mechanism to empower
00:17:29
themselves that I stand back and do not
00:17:32
judge because everybody has their
00:17:34
process of how they get to bravery
00:17:36
she is the best answers I know oh my God
00:17:41
they're unreal oh David Spade I love you
00:17:44
so much I mean my God uh we have to talk
00:17:47
about SNL so by the way back to E.T to
00:17:51
have two women that high up in the chain
00:17:54
yeah it must have been nice back then
00:17:56
and they must have had an even Keel
00:17:59
about them because you look up to them
00:18:01
and you don't see them I mean there is
00:18:03
equal up there with everybody that are
00:18:05
running a huge huge movie that's good
00:18:07
that's a good influence early on Steven
00:18:09
Spielberg was flanked by these two women
00:18:13
Frank Marshall was there but Kathleen
00:18:15
Kennedy and Melissa Matheson and uh so
00:18:19
Melissa wrote it just for our viewers
00:18:21
Melissa wrote it she was married to
00:18:23
Harrison Ford at the time
00:18:25
um they were very close uh they had the
00:18:28
script for years they were making the
00:18:30
Indiana Jones movies they were all a
00:18:32
tight-knit group and
00:18:34
um she had this script it was called the
00:18:36
boys life and
00:18:39
um and yeah that's what E.T was called
00:18:40
yeah it wasn't called DT until after the
00:18:44
film was made I guess maybe in marketing
00:18:46
I'd have to ask it was kind of a little
00:18:48
gross monster for a little bit I heard
00:18:52
cute little alien
00:18:55
uh okay good so as Dana ask her a
00:18:59
question about SNL what are you doing I
00:19:01
I know I'm so I'm so uh I'm a little bit
00:19:04
I'm Starstruck too I was fascinated by
00:19:08
your life I I I think it's so cool I'm
00:19:12
Star Struck by you guys I mean literally
00:19:14
you're about to bring up SNL and I I
00:19:18
don't know where your question's gonna
00:19:19
go but boy did that show change my life
00:19:25
in so many ways uh but in no way did I
00:19:28
participate the way that you guys have
00:19:33
[Music]
00:19:35
for people don't know it yeah you've
00:19:38
hosted six times which is a record
00:19:41
foreign
00:20:00
we're gonna book her for three a year oh
00:20:03
yeah and she makes you know big movies
00:20:06
that are gonna you know I I'm sure she's
00:20:08
gonna beat me and I love her so much and
00:20:10
we just did this show together
00:20:13
um and if anyone's gonna beat it but
00:20:14
here's a record I do hope that I I think
00:20:18
I will be it will be Bittersweet when it
00:20:21
happens
00:20:22
um I am still the youngest yes in 1982
00:20:28
at seven years old yes and that One's
00:20:32
Gonna Hurt that's gonna
00:20:34
and really no danger I don't know unless
00:20:38
I wonder how has it not been taken how
00:20:41
the hell has that not happening well
00:20:43
because it's child abuse
00:20:48
Hey kid you're gonna I can't even handle
00:20:51
I was crying when I hosted and I'd done
00:20:52
200 shows yeah and you go back there and
00:20:56
you're like wait what do I do and the
00:20:57
band's playing it's terrifying I'm 47
00:21:00
and I can't even but was the monkey a
00:21:03
surprise
00:21:04
yes yes it's a total surprise
00:21:07
for David yeah go ahead explain that
00:21:10
because Sam kazarinsky
00:21:13
um who I'd have just an adorable crush
00:21:15
on I just thought he was the greatest
00:21:17
thing since sliced bread
00:21:19
um they didn't want me to have to deal
00:21:22
with an opening monologue um and they
00:21:24
sort of addressed that in the monologue
00:21:26
and they say instead we're gonna do a q
00:21:29
a with Tim
00:21:31
um and Drew uh weird to say her name and
00:21:36
um so he asked me questions on little
00:21:40
index cards and I'm adorable and then at
00:21:44
the end he says we have a surprise for
00:21:47
you and they bring out this monkey yeah
00:21:51
I don't know what the point of it was
00:21:54
other than to well your reaction
00:21:57
cutest thing and the most delightful
00:22:00
surprise for anyone let alone a
00:22:02
seven-year-old girl
00:22:04
I remember so many different emotions uh
00:22:08
Stephen Spielberg came and he's very
00:22:10
much a probably the only Father Figure
00:22:12
I've really had in my life and he was
00:22:14
very parental and uh on the show night
00:22:18
he brought Robin Williams which scared
00:22:20
me to death because I was so delicious
00:22:23
obsessed with Robin Williams and
00:22:26
um that felt very intimidating uh to me
00:22:29
and
00:22:31
um who's blabbing yeah
00:22:33
somebody's auditioning back there all
00:22:36
right sorry
00:22:37
um tell them you don't want to get
00:22:39
spayed mad exactly
00:22:42
um so um Robin Williams so Robin
00:22:45
Williams
00:22:46
um and it was such a weird mixed bag
00:22:48
because the there I was in the opening
00:22:52
scene which I didn't realize until way
00:22:54
later how hard it is to get in the scene
00:22:56
before the credits
00:22:59
um like I spent my young adulthood
00:23:02
fighting to get in that opening scene
00:23:04
really the cold open and I was in it and
00:23:08
they all circle around me and I'm sad
00:23:11
about something and they are rallying me
00:23:14
up and then they said you know would you
00:23:16
like a glass of milk and I remember my
00:23:19
line was milk I'm a Barrymore uh I want
00:23:24
to drink and make it a double
00:23:31
boy little did I know how true that
00:23:34
would end up you were like all kidding
00:23:35
aside make it a double was there was
00:23:37
there a family history of that at all or
00:23:39
oh my God
00:23:41
outside of consumption literally my
00:23:45
grandfather died of consumption
00:23:47
um I think uh Ethel and Lionel were a
00:23:50
bit more put together but yeah total
00:23:52
hedonists and um and artists
00:23:56
um and a long line of alcoholism and uh
00:24:00
and yeah so it's highly genetic
00:24:03
obviously it is highly genetic but I'm
00:24:06
gonna be the one who breaks that in our
00:24:08
Chain break it yeah I haven't been I
00:24:11
haven't had a drink in almost three
00:24:12
years and um it's wow it's a really good
00:24:15
feeling what's your happy place how do
00:24:17
you calm down then do you meditate do
00:24:19
you take a bath do you run around the
00:24:21
block how do you call that that thinking
00:24:25
brain without alcohol
00:24:28
um and I'm not sober I don't work a
00:24:31
program I just I realized my
00:24:34
relationship with alcohol was the most
00:24:37
toxic one in my life and when I'd been
00:24:39
trying to master since I was nine years
00:24:41
old and did start drinking
00:24:44
um and that yeah I had to find a way uh
00:24:48
I had to find a different way to live
00:24:50
and I can sort of Trace every negative
00:24:53
thing back in my life and there's
00:24:55
probably alcohol dancing in there
00:24:57
somewhere
00:24:59
um and it's like the best breakup I've
00:25:01
ever had in my life and it's so
00:25:03
confident and quiet and I have a bar in
00:25:06
my house I serve people drinks I have no
00:25:09
Hang-Ups about it I'm just like so
00:25:12
psyched at this choice to finally cut
00:25:14
this like cancer out of my life it's
00:25:17
something excuse me well you feel better
00:25:19
too I mean there's a lot of positives if
00:25:21
you can get through it it's a lot of
00:25:22
yeah and so how did you manage all these
00:25:25
movies and this massive career while hat
00:25:29
and by being was it sort of binge
00:25:32
drinking or would you how did people
00:25:34
look the other way
00:25:35
um yeah I think you know when you do
00:25:37
burn the candle at both ends and you are
00:25:39
prolific that's part of the fooling
00:25:41
yourself like but I'm doing all this
00:25:43
work so I'm functioning yeah
00:25:47
um and that was definitely my
00:25:48
justification but I was more of like
00:25:51
when I partied I was the crazy one
00:25:54
um like I can think of another SNL Alum
00:25:57
Chris Katan whose nickname and I for
00:25:58
each other is rooftops because we would
00:26:00
get wasted and jump off my roof into the
00:26:02
pool
00:26:04
um and I had a lot of fun with that and
00:26:07
yeah they're they're
00:26:09
it wasn't all bad
00:26:12
um and then I think when kids came into
00:26:14
my life I realized that this was no
00:26:18
longer sustainable and I made a hard
00:26:20
choice and it's the best one I've ever
00:26:21
made when it was just me and my life I
00:26:23
guess I didn't matter to myself enough
00:26:25
to find the balance my kids mattered
00:26:29
more to me than I did and I found the
00:26:32
balance and it didn't come easy and it
00:26:34
wasn't pretty and we all wish we had
00:26:36
done things sooner but I'm here and I'm
00:26:39
so happy to be here and that in itself I
00:26:43
think has replaced a ton of meditation
00:26:46
and jogging and new agey stuff and
00:26:48
self-help and self-care just being a
00:26:52
person who isn't corroded with guilt and
00:26:56
dysfunction and blame like I had a bad
00:26:59
girl narrative growing up so every time
00:27:01
I did something wrong I went straight
00:27:03
back to well you're a bad girl so what
00:27:05
the [ __ ] else do you think it's you
00:27:07
you're the bad girl and if it's kind of
00:27:09
your your thing like she's the Drinker
00:27:11
and the fun party girl then you're like
00:27:13
it's already sort of factored in so no
00:27:16
one One's Gonna Get Mad that's kind of
00:27:18
what they want 100 I'm the good time
00:27:21
girl
00:27:22
um and I did have a good time I wasn't
00:27:24
willing to give it up for a long time I
00:27:27
was balancing it in a way where I was
00:27:30
working my ass off I work hard I played
00:27:33
hard and that was okay for 30 years and
00:27:37
then I
00:27:39
I think growing up as an overrated I'm
00:27:42
totally into it I really
00:27:45
um I I'm I'm I feel so lucky to have
00:27:48
arrived at a more peaceful saner place
00:27:52
I'm 47 and I don't know if it I just
00:27:56
only know my own journey I started so
00:27:59
much younger than other people in in
00:28:01
many ways but I think a lot of my wisdom
00:28:03
came later
00:28:05
um and that's okay I don't even ask
00:28:08
people what their age is because I don't
00:28:09
give a [ __ ] I don't think it's gonna
00:28:11
tell me everything about you you're
00:28:13
gonna tell me if I have to ask people
00:28:16
what their ages I'll literally say
00:28:18
what's your number because it's not
00:28:21
indicative of your journey there are
00:28:23
people who have clawed their way through
00:28:25
life at such a young age and been dealt
00:28:28
such strange cards and there are people
00:28:30
who just can't seem to mature no matter
00:28:32
how hard everyone around them is trying
00:28:35
David won't
00:28:37
did you say David no that was a joke
00:28:40
look at him in his Mansion he's very
00:28:43
he's very successful
00:28:45
listen I was when I when I when I was
00:28:49
nine years old my mom would say you're
00:28:51
not drinking until you're nine like Drew
00:28:53
Barrymore
00:28:54
and I go right that's where we had a
00:28:56
tough rule
00:28:58
um no I've got my [ __ ] together Drew
00:29:00
um no I don't do you drew no no no
00:29:04
it's about you we're damaged little
00:29:06
clowns yeah we're little clowns it was
00:29:10
uh it was an interesting lesson growing
00:29:12
up being such a lover of male comedians
00:29:16
um you know so many wake-up calls on who
00:29:20
used the sort of torture as an excuse to
00:29:24
you know behave a certain way or be kind
00:29:28
of an intense person or you know talk to
00:29:31
me or Dana and those who didn't you know
00:29:34
and I would definitely gravitate towards
00:29:37
the ones who didn't but I it I and my
00:29:41
mom by the way when I was a kid not only
00:29:44
did I get to do SNL at seven years old
00:29:47
but my mom worked as a waitress in The
00:29:50
Comedy Store so right now I have a
00:29:53
character that I do for the digital on
00:29:56
our show named Mitzi banana more and
00:29:59
it's all dedicated to Mitzi Shore really
00:30:01
and she's the inspiration for it and I
00:30:04
get to ask questions that I can't get
00:30:06
away with on daytime television and I
00:30:08
got a wig and a look and a whole thing
00:30:10
and I you know it sounds so funny coming
00:30:14
out of you you have a lot of mitzi's
00:30:16
stories because I we have stories about
00:30:18
Mitzi you know Holly sure was my
00:30:21
babysitter oh yes sorry is everything
00:30:25
okay
00:30:26
I think so
00:30:30
him and Donovan Leach used to like look
00:30:33
after me sometimes like our parents
00:30:36
didn't I mean my mom is in extreme case
00:30:38
and you know but like a lot of people
00:30:41
were in that time like we did not parent
00:30:44
back then the way we do now and it's
00:30:49
crazy the scrutiny and the helicopter
00:30:51
parenting and the guilt and the books
00:30:53
and the rights and the rungs and the
00:30:54
do's and the don'ts yeah my mom just
00:30:56
left me with Polly and Donovan uh while
00:30:59
she and Mitzi were off at work it was
00:31:01
fun I I loved it and my mom gave me such
00:31:06
a rich history on who each and every
00:31:09
comedian was
00:31:12
um and what their body of work was and
00:31:15
what Steve Martin meant and what Robin
00:31:17
Williams meant and who these people that
00:31:19
came and did a set that night or here's
00:31:21
the person up and coming it's very in My
00:31:24
DNA a and so for me getting on this
00:31:27
podcast with you guys like I'm the one
00:31:30
freaking out I don't know what so much
00:31:32
of my life would be without the things
00:31:35
that you both have put into the world
00:31:37
and comedy is a very healing thing I
00:31:40
call it medicine always and I've been
00:31:43
trained like a little seal to appreciate
00:31:46
and understand the power of when someone
00:31:50
makes you laugh they take away your pain
00:31:53
and stress they give you a respite from
00:31:57
your trauma and your damage and your
00:32:00
worries and the things you gotta do and
00:32:02
the things that have affected you you
00:32:05
are liberated and free in that moment
00:32:08
because you your Chemistry changes you
00:32:11
can't laugh and worry at the same time I
00:32:14
I mean by the way the more you're
00:32:17
worried I hope the more you are laughing
00:32:20
because it's the only way you're gonna
00:32:21
survive it
00:32:22
well this leads me to a question because
00:32:25
uh you're given a background on what
00:32:27
comedy meant to you and learning this in
00:32:29
real time with you
00:32:31
um what does it mean to have hosted SNL
00:32:34
for you because then you go into
00:32:36
America's comedy Palace basically and
00:32:39
you host it six times I mean what does
00:32:41
that mean to you and and how thrilling
00:32:44
was it for you to then be part of it
00:32:46
after the age of seven and then you're
00:32:48
an adult mature funny person on that
00:32:51
show I just think what is it what is it
00:32:53
I don't know you have six minutes to
00:32:56
answer that question I
00:32:58
I really feel like
00:33:01
um that show is an institution and it's
00:33:07
a
00:33:08
living breathing tree it's a Giving Tree
00:33:12
that new leaves come out of its branches
00:33:17
and these leaves are these people these
00:33:20
artists such good answers so far yeah
00:33:24
you speak like a poet yeah it's unreal
00:33:28
have you written a book of poems you
00:33:29
have haven't you I don't I think yeah I
00:33:32
do write poetry I love poetry about it I
00:33:34
read a lot of poetry growing up um I
00:33:38
and we get to bask in the shade and the
00:33:42
light of that tree and it's like
00:33:46
it's it Formed me so much as a human
00:33:50
being and I'm happy to say whether it's
00:33:53
successful or not I don't know I'm not
00:33:55
objective about myself
00:33:57
um I never want to be
00:33:59
um but
00:34:00
when I was lucky enough to get the show
00:34:03
that I'm doing now
00:34:05
um which is a talk show it has my name
00:34:07
on it actually asked for it to be named
00:34:08
something else they said that's not how
00:34:10
this works I said fine
00:34:13
um uh we'll go with the household name
00:34:16
you have a great you have a great night
00:34:18
yeah yeah it's a cool name one syllable
00:34:21
and then three syllables it's just it
00:34:23
goes Drew Barrymore it's just a cool
00:34:25
name uh thank you Dana Carvey
00:34:31
uh that ends in a smile
00:34:35
um I think
00:34:36
um I just never thought of that
00:34:39
um it's true
00:34:42
um I
00:34:43
I leaned in so hard to my SNL training
00:34:48
for this show
00:34:50
um and a couple examples are that when
00:34:53
we launched the pandemic in 2020 it was
00:34:56
a very scary time to find a voice I felt
00:35:00
like it was
00:35:02
um in order to be quiet and be a good
00:35:05
listener and be a student and learn and
00:35:07
so that was really intimidating
00:35:10
but I
00:35:11
tried to tap into bravery to be funny
00:35:14
and have a show that really celebrated
00:35:17
Comedians and go hard on Comedy
00:35:21
um it was go hard I love it it was scary
00:35:25
and it I think it confused a lot of
00:35:27
people
00:35:29
um
00:35:29
and especially in that moment like what
00:35:34
the hell is this pandemic here she comes
00:35:36
again yep and um the truth News segment
00:35:40
of the show from which I fought for
00:35:43
since the pilot
00:35:45
um I kept trying to explain it to
00:35:47
everybody and
00:35:49
um obviously there is this section of a
00:35:53
magazine called the week that's called
00:35:55
it wasn't all bad and it's just these
00:35:57
tiny baby-sized paragraphs that are so
00:36:01
funny and uplifting and weird
00:36:04
um and then Weekend Update
00:36:07
and then you know I just kept saying I
00:36:10
just
00:36:11
like Weekend Update to me is is a drug I
00:36:17
I'm on that feeder I watch it every week
00:36:19
I've I've never I'd never I don't miss
00:36:22
it I I
00:36:24
I love
00:36:27
finding out information in a funny way
00:36:32
um we could call it satire you could
00:36:34
call it pop culture you could call it
00:36:35
comedy but like that news desk I had a
00:36:40
picture of Walter Cronkite The Weekend
00:36:42
Update desk and like The Week Magazine
00:36:45
and it I think everyone was really
00:36:49
scared because they were like well
00:36:50
that's very written and I was like no I
00:36:54
know I'm not gonna write it we're gonna
00:36:56
report stories that give people hope
00:37:00
because there is good news out there and
00:37:03
there are life-affirming things and
00:37:04
there are weird happenings and
00:37:06
interesting findings and we're going to
00:37:08
be an aggregator for that and then we
00:37:10
can do commentary on it
00:37:13
um I think Chelsea Lately honestly was a
00:37:16
really interesting oh yeah you know she
00:37:18
she did a format where they really
00:37:20
commented more on like gossip and pop
00:37:22
culture but it was so much fun and no
00:37:25
one it was a great show and she had a
00:37:27
panel of Comedians and it was delicious
00:37:30
and nobody had done that and you know
00:37:33
Drew during your during the pandemic
00:37:35
it's even harder because it's an uphill
00:37:37
battle everything in the news is bad it
00:37:39
was so pessimistic and so rough that
00:37:42
you're fighting through that clutter and
00:37:43
if anyone would just turned to the
00:37:44
channel and see you they're like give me
00:37:46
a breather here for a second
00:37:48
I didn't know if I would ever be one but
00:37:51
I knew that I wanted and I thought I
00:37:54
want to be a bright spot and not a blind
00:37:56
spot I want you to come here and not
00:37:59
think that I don't understand what's
00:38:01
happening all around us but there is
00:38:03
beautiful things there are wonderful
00:38:06
people there is that good and if we have
00:38:08
to be reminded in life affirming ways
00:38:11
that this battle is worth it
00:38:14
great then that's what I want to do and
00:38:17
how do I take us out while not seeming
00:38:21
like I've lost the plot or I'm not in
00:38:24
and aware and civic duty minded of
00:38:28
everything that is really happening in
00:38:30
reality and it was the weirdest seesaw
00:38:33
ever to balance but I would say that
00:38:36
Saturday Night Live has been my biggest
00:38:39
influence
00:38:41
um
00:38:42
in my life
00:38:45
Jesus uh and now that it I got to do a
00:38:49
show that's not a movie or not a script
00:38:51
or not a rom com that probably involves
00:38:54
a lot of people from the SNL Alum
00:38:58
um you know you can you can see that
00:39:01
love and that honoring and that adhesive
00:39:03
sort of
00:39:05
admiration I have for male comedians
00:39:08
because I've spent so much time you know
00:39:10
I'm not Sandler and Fallon and you did
00:39:13
movies with both those guys like how
00:39:15
crazy and I I have to say I got to be in
00:39:18
Wayne's World is beer again Kerrigan
00:39:20
foreign
00:39:26
I really feel like that was the I like
00:39:29
I'm I'm I was worried sweet like anyone
00:39:32
was gonna be mad at me like I made a
00:39:34
real joke out of the accent because I
00:39:36
didn't really study enough for at night
00:39:38
I thought it went for the broad comedy
00:39:41
and I was like yeah and people with that
00:39:44
people's got to stop being offended
00:39:47
again
00:39:48
all I do is Greta thumbberg I don't know
00:39:51
what country she's from how dare you how
00:39:55
dare you that's it it's just three words
00:40:00
[Music]
00:40:02
what is it like to be able to have that
00:40:06
like Jimmy Fallon came on the show the
00:40:09
other day and he's married to my partner
00:40:10
they fell in love on fever pitch
00:40:13
um so he's like we're family
00:40:15
um but we did one episode together here
00:40:18
on this show where we were like let's
00:40:20
try Impressions and like I suck at
00:40:23
Impressions like what's it like to have
00:40:25
that kind of access and the snap of a
00:40:28
finger and be able to do any voice like
00:40:31
I have to study and like take it so
00:40:33
seriously that I almost lose the freedom
00:40:36
and The Whimsy I gotta learn it so well
00:40:39
that then I can play because I've got it
00:40:43
so [ __ ] down that now I feel
00:40:45
liberated and free because I held on to
00:40:48
it so tightly what's it like to just be
00:40:50
like ha hear play fingertips access
00:40:55
um well I I doubt now exactly what
00:40:58
you're saying but I think I've got a
00:41:01
bloody idea about something you're
00:41:04
trying Michael can everyone Michael Kane
00:41:06
if I have to say it I don't know I'd I
00:41:09
said you're tremendous everyone says
00:41:10
excuse me many people Drew Barrymore
00:41:12
your show's terrific it's terrific many
00:41:15
people excuse me many people are saying
00:41:17
yes I have a new Rhythm for him I'll do
00:41:20
it for Drew he when he's honest on the
00:41:23
the uh Podium to his audience he goes
00:41:26
gas prices are going up six dollars
00:41:29
seven dollars ten how high can you go
00:41:32
that's the final Rhythm how high yeah
00:41:35
yeah it's a it's a it's all inflection
00:41:38
yeah yeah and I just have fun with it
00:41:40
I'm in awe of like there's certain
00:41:42
people do certain Impressions and I just
00:41:43
love it and I'm on awe of it and Jimmy
00:41:45
Fallon his his Neil Young you know it's
00:41:49
like insane because Neil Young he has so
00:41:53
much talent uh you know I've talked to
00:41:55
people there like he's with Justin
00:41:56
Timberlake and they're doing they're
00:41:57
choreographing something and they go
00:41:59
Jimmy just one time he's got it and then
00:42:02
he can sing and he dances and he does
00:42:03
all these voices and he's such a great
00:42:06
great uh talk show host because he's so
00:42:09
such a great idea we're all so
00:42:11
influenced by that Renaissance variety
00:42:14
human
00:42:17
um that can pull out of The Ether or
00:42:22
have a premeditated approach to it or
00:42:25
access to both
00:42:28
um well what's one that you learned you
00:42:30
talked about learning one and really
00:42:32
owning it yeah do you have a good one
00:42:33
load it up do you do Chloe Feynman sorry
00:42:36
Jesus
00:42:38
um I'm sorry that's my favorite thing
00:42:40
who is that awesome we've done we've
00:42:42
done dozens of these that's my favorite
00:42:43
moment thank you drew that's the most
00:42:46
real moment thank you I'm sorry now
00:42:50
you're definitely the coolest oh good oh
00:42:54
good
00:42:55
I am
00:42:57
um it's getting to my house now it's
00:42:58
just getting to me oof I uh let's see
00:43:01
what have I eaten today um chili dog I
00:43:03
can tell you no just only only quinoa
00:43:08
like a quinoa porridge it's pretty
00:43:10
boring
00:43:12
um I uh oh [ __ ] what was the question
00:43:16
for the end
00:43:18
oh well we have a lot of Sandler
00:43:20
questions at the end we got a little
00:43:21
let's we got to say other questions
00:43:23
because we like to clown on him
00:43:25
um I mean God do I just I love him he
00:43:29
doesn't I got some monster movies with
00:43:31
him Adam's made a lot of great movies
00:43:33
but I think 51 dates is like one of his
00:43:37
very very best because I it was such a
00:43:40
complete film and it was so emotional at
00:43:41
the end you know I don't didn't you find
00:43:43
that to be an extra special one you did
00:43:46
with him 50 51 dates you've done three
00:43:48
first days 50 First Dates
00:43:50
or 51 originally uh another title uh
00:43:55
change it was called 51st kisses
00:43:58
um and I think they thought that was too
00:44:00
girly yeah uh oh dates um like dates is
00:44:06
more gender neutral now
00:44:09
this actually became a really big study
00:44:12
for me about
00:44:14
men and women this is where I really did
00:44:17
take on gender so Nan my partner had
00:44:20
found that script and it was a drama
00:44:22
that took place in Seattle and funny
00:44:25
enough she like wanted Reese Witherspoon
00:44:28
to do it
00:44:30
she was like you're busy I'm gonna I was
00:44:33
I believe in Reese Witherspoon she was a
00:44:35
total fan we've all been fans of first
00:44:37
forever I've known Reece since I was 14
00:44:39
years old
00:44:41
um and so she had me read it at a table
00:44:43
reading and I was like oh my God this is
00:44:45
the best script ever and we wanted to to
00:44:49
um
00:44:50
get attached to it as producers at
00:44:52
flower films and it disappeared
00:44:55
overnight like it just someone gobbled
00:44:57
it up and then her and I tracked it for
00:45:00
the next like I mean years several years
00:45:04
it went through different big directors
00:45:07
and big actresses
00:45:09
um and uh we just Nan and I were like
00:45:13
determined to track where this script
00:45:16
went and all of the sudden
00:45:19
it finally matriculates over to none
00:45:23
other than happy Madison Happy Madison
00:45:26
and that is to anyone who doesn't know
00:45:28
is Adam Sandler's company he's always
00:45:30
done it with the same people he always
00:45:33
will he's such a loyalist and
00:45:36
um it was everybody I knew from The
00:45:38
Wedding Singer and oh another great one
00:45:40
yeah I love that movie oh another
00:45:43
monster well I stalked him I was like I
00:45:46
know that you and I are supposed to be
00:45:48
Catherine Hepburn and Spencer Tracy
00:45:50
except for probably through more of like
00:45:52
a Marty Feldman buddy hacket lens
00:45:56
um
00:45:57
seeing myself Catherine Hepburn here
00:45:59
I've got purple hair and a leopard coat
00:46:01
on and you're like sporty sport you're
00:46:03
Sporty Spice so nothing about it
00:46:06
physically says that this is a match but
00:46:09
I am convinced Adam that you and I are
00:46:12
supposed to be cinematic soul mates
00:46:15
and uh we did The Wedding Singer
00:46:18
together and then I think it was like 10
00:46:21
or 11 years later I found out the script
00:46:23
went to him I ran into my trailer we
00:46:25
were filming Charlie's Angels on the
00:46:27
Sony lot Happy Madison was on the Sony
00:46:29
lot and instead of running over to his
00:46:31
office I thought I'm gonna type out a
00:46:33
letter for him so I got in my all of
00:46:35
that a typewriter and I typed out this
00:46:38
um letter to him
00:46:40
hysterically sobbing and this I think
00:46:43
the power of a letter I've had multiple
00:46:46
things happen that have changed my life
00:46:48
for the better or in palpable powerful
00:46:51
ways through a letter yeah don't deny
00:46:54
the power of a letter and I said I I
00:46:57
know we've talked about maybe coming
00:46:59
back together we set ourselves up
00:47:02
real well in the first one which kind of
00:47:05
[ __ ] us up for the second one because
00:47:07
the expectations are going to be really
00:47:09
high for both of us and we can't do
00:47:13
something that is less than we have to
00:47:15
do something equal or maybe even more
00:47:17
than and I am convinced that this is the
00:47:20
movie
00:47:22
and I had someone run the letter over to
00:47:25
his office he showed up at my trailer
00:47:29
door
00:47:31
what are you trying to do it again
00:47:40
why do you like this movie We're trying
00:47:43
to make it into a comedy and I said oh
00:47:46
my God really
00:47:48
and he goes yeah and I go but okay uh
00:47:52
interesting well
00:47:54
damn it you cannot lose what is so
00:47:58
[ __ ] important about this movie which
00:48:00
is how do you make someone fall in love
00:48:03
with you every day and the Poetry like
00:48:05
as a woman I've never been more [ __ ]
00:48:07
moved in my life you can't wash that
00:48:10
away with goofiness
00:48:12
and he was like yeah but we know comedy
00:48:16
and we know what guys want I said and
00:48:17
you know what I know what girls want he
00:48:19
goes well then obviously you've got to
00:48:22
produce it with me and I said well
00:48:23
obviously we've got to make this movie
00:48:25
together and he was like so it's
00:48:27
happening and I'm like is it happening
00:48:29
really wow what a great story I love it
00:48:32
we went to work right away and we got
00:48:36
flower films which was me and Nan and
00:48:38
happy Madison which was him and the boys
00:48:40
and we sat there and we rewrote the
00:48:43
movie
00:48:45
based on what we thought went like what
00:48:49
we were all women's side yeah women's
00:48:51
side boys side yeah and this was in the
00:48:53
day where as a producer early on I you
00:48:56
know I was told you know men make the
00:48:58
decisions about where to go to the movie
00:49:00
that weekend and the girlfriend will go
00:49:02
with that
00:49:03
and that's a gender stereotype that I
00:49:06
just thought oh God that's crazy all
00:49:09
right well I don't know what to do with
00:49:10
that information but thank you for
00:49:12
telling me that and uh we tried to make
00:49:16
it this balanced
00:49:20
seesaw and I
00:49:23
we met with directors and it was in Pete
00:49:27
Siegel who
00:49:28
you know I I always think I I got lucky
00:49:32
and had a knack for seeing things in
00:49:35
directors that they hadn't had in their
00:49:37
work before and with Pete Siegel I knew
00:49:40
he was the guy I knew he got the tone
00:49:42
and this was going to be such a
00:49:44
challenge to straddle
00:49:46
like whale sperm flying in faces one
00:49:51
minute and trying to
00:49:54
connect with the human heart
00:49:57
and move people in the next scene and I
00:50:01
was like this is gonna take a very
00:50:04
unique conductor to pull this all up and
00:50:07
make everybody happy and I knew that
00:50:10
Pete could do it because of our
00:50:12
conversations I knew he got it and he
00:50:15
did another big comedy Drew what
00:50:18
Tommy Boy oh it was your director 10
00:50:22
years ago which is another really really
00:50:24
great film isn't that crazy look at your
00:50:27
face oh my God oh my God I didn't even
00:50:30
realize that that is a [ __ ]
00:50:32
masterpiece
00:50:34
can you believe I was saying when you
00:50:35
just said Pete Siegler oh you got the
00:50:37
right guy oh my god Tommy Boy I mean
00:50:40
that's an iconic movie David iconic
00:50:44
like history books well I love Tommy Boy
00:50:48
and I'm thinking for you guys to balance
00:50:51
that the team of you Sandler and Pete
00:50:54
and then you throw Rob Schneider in a
00:50:57
coconut bra or whatever he did
00:51:05
does these great funny characters but
00:51:07
it's interesting Drew you say that that
00:51:09
the bones of it was a drama because
00:51:11
that's still whatever you guys did it's
00:51:13
kind of what it is it resonated by the
00:51:17
third actor when he's on the boat he
00:51:18
sees you again it got me verklempt I
00:51:20
mean I oh for sure to ride with it and
00:51:23
that's hard to do in a comedy it's very
00:51:26
hard to do it's it was my life and very
00:51:30
much with the show that again I am lucky
00:51:32
enough to make and we fight so hard for
00:51:35
it over here we have the best time
00:51:36
making it but it making a show and
00:51:39
broadcast and daytime in this time it's
00:51:43
really challenging
00:51:44
um and we're trying to find new ways to
00:51:46
reinvent it but I I want to be greedy in
00:51:51
life and have all the tones
00:51:54
I think we have all the feels and
00:51:56
therefore there are all the tones and
00:51:58
they're all the life experiences and no
00:52:01
journey is devoid of tragedy and
00:52:05
laughter and love and heartbreak and
00:52:08
death and loss and ecstasy and sex and
00:52:14
you know maybe children if you choose to
00:52:16
go that route and you know relationship
00:52:19
it's just it's all the things and so I
00:52:22
don't like it's music you know and it's
00:52:25
visuals and Cinema like it's books it's
00:52:29
it's everything it's everything and I
00:52:31
want so badly to put everything in a
00:52:34
blender but then I think the trick is
00:52:36
you still have to make it your own you
00:52:40
have to be you
00:52:42
um but I love all the all the towns and
00:52:46
i i 50 First Dates is definitely a fun
00:52:50
tonal example that you can
00:52:55
well done really well put together but I
00:52:59
I'm aiming for that for everything in my
00:53:01
life can it can it like maybe the North
00:53:04
Stars can be simplified down to heart
00:53:07
and humor
00:53:08
maybe you're like Paris that Ernest
00:53:11
Hemingway call it a Movable Feast I
00:53:13
of course that's a beautiful book I yeah
00:53:16
it's well that phrase is just sort of
00:53:19
encompasses kind of what you were saying
00:53:21
the the magistry and the Symphony of
00:53:24
life and all you know slings and arrows
00:53:26
and ups and downs and yeah better
00:53:29
philosophers than me have spoke to but
00:53:31
to live is to suffer and have joy every
00:53:34
day and we had a joy today visiting I
00:53:37
was a talk show host in a previous life
00:53:39

00:54:50
uh okay Andrew Brewer now this is a
00:54:52
great one because Andrew Brewer is it
00:54:55
says hey it's Brewer your old sensor
00:54:57
from the SNL days now Dana we've talked
00:54:59
about him because we always say
00:55:00
something nice about him he was a cool
00:55:02
dude and he was fun and he had a tough
00:55:04
job you would write a script and then
00:55:06
you if it was a little risque you'd have
00:55:09
to run it by Andrew and so you would
00:55:11
load it up like it would be like hard
00:55:13
triple X yeah so that he could negotiate
00:55:16
he'd say well I'm going to take this out
00:55:17
and this out I mean he couldn't swear
00:55:19
but you could negotiate yeah so if you
00:55:21
put two in there you didn't care about
00:55:23
you would give him those then you'd
00:55:25
still have your real script but he kind
00:55:27
of caught on to that he I think he knew
00:55:28
the whole game but it says do you boys
00:55:30
this is his question you boys recall any
00:55:31
run-ins we had while we were all in the
00:55:34
show of course he has ideas Dana
00:55:37
I'll ask it for him the one that comes
00:55:39
to mind is uh the taped black and white
00:55:42
Wayne's World piece that you did with
00:55:43
Mike Madonna and and you were in a hotel
00:55:46
room it was full s m i remember that
00:55:48
very steamy in the day we spent a lot of
00:55:50
time in the editing room yeah and the
00:55:52
nude beach sketch which almost got him
00:55:54
fired on as Garth and a Cod piece I
00:55:57
remember that was strutting around on
00:55:59
scuttering that was a big deal it was
00:56:01
like touching herself I don't know why
00:56:03
we have who shot that Chiller probably
00:56:05
it was cool it was really fun that was a
00:56:08
good bit yeah it was really funny but
00:56:11
yeah it was a little risque
00:56:13
for in those days yeah and I did
00:56:16
Hollywood minute with him and he said uh
00:56:18
one of the ones I remember he told you
00:56:20
not to do but I did it anyway oh it was
00:56:22
a joke that was something like Pam
00:56:24
Anderson found Tommy Lee's new penis
00:56:26
tattoo hard to swallow
00:56:28
that's a good that's a good class and he
00:56:30
said he took it out for the west coast
00:56:32
feed before it got to the West Coast oh
00:56:34
my god oh did he yeah well the one that
00:56:36
took like a year to get on and I'm not
00:56:38
sure who wrote it maybe smile but it was
00:56:41
just guys at a nudist beach but we we so
00:56:44
