00:01:25
uh that was Jeopardy again one of the big sketches that
00:01:30
big sketches everyone remembers always funny Daryl was funny at Norm was great yeah the best Norm story was uh I think
00:01:39
it's the one where he's wearing he comes back he's wearing a big foam cowboy hat
00:01:44
and he's like that's funny huh look wearing a cowboy hat and anyway there's
00:01:50
some beat where I where I have to be super exasperated with him and I yell at
00:01:56
him and we and we get out of the sketch and Norm comes running after me he's
00:02:01
like hey Will everything okay I go yeah why he's like you you you
00:02:08
seem kind of mad at me out there like no Norm I'm act we've done it this is like
00:02:13
the fourth time we've done the sketch no but that time it just seemed like you really were mad at me for some
00:02:19
reason said no we're good that's very that's very Norm right there that's his
00:02:24
sense of humor yeah he seemed kind of mad there for a moment right but he was not I don't think he was doing a b he
00:02:30
wasn't do he might have been serious that he was very sensitive in that way very shaken yeah and then uh cuz you can
00:02:38
commit hard and you probably scared him another Norm another great Norm story has nothing to do
00:02:44
with was and Katan told me about it they were on a flight together back LA to New
00:02:51
York uh Chris had taken off his shoes uh and he can't find his shoes

00:03:25
JFK with no shoes with no shoes just in his socks
00:03:33
an entire season goes by and then Katan and Norm are jousting
00:03:40

00:04:07
tough um okay let's see if we have anything else well before we let you go the other the other thing I was thinking
00:04:13
about today MH Downey used to give me the great I loved being Jim Downey sorry
00:04:20
Jim Downey legendary writer who came up with strategery um oh he did Str I had
00:04:28
the 18 too writing for me yeah you know with Al Frank and Jim totally yeah but
00:04:33
Downey I loved being in Downey sketches for a number of different reasons but the best was between dress and air and
00:04:39
he'd do it every single time and it I would laugh hard every single time he'd go great job take it down about a
00:04:51
th% and then I would just yes an i' be like uhhuh yeah okay and he like I don't
00:04:56
know what happened you must you must have gotten into your big juice or something but he would literally tell me to take
00:05:01
it down 1,000% worst advice yeah did you made me
00:05:08
laugh every single time and he would never say he's joking yeah yeah yeah yeah I remember one time I did a joke on
00:05:14
Hollywood minute about with jokes you know they had some some had a little more of a some were clever some had a
00:05:19
little mean streak but I did a Jim Carrey one the funniest part is I liked 99% of the people and Jim Carrey I was
00:05:26
just trying to get foot in the door at SNL and uh whatever it took but Jim was
00:05:31
doing these you know the movies that I loved but I said and they would always prod me to go farther right because it
00:05:37
was like through them I Dare You So I said oh J Jim scary after this one of
00:05:43
his movies just rushed to the hospital after an overdose of uh uh overacting
00:05:49
pills with play it too big juice and uh and the crowd just stared at me and it
00:05:55
was it was too soon don't don't mess with our [ __ ] guy and I was like no I
00:06:00
love you know and anyway that was cut after dress but uh but dress H was a good but that was those guys in the they
00:06:07
they would write me the roughest oh Hollywood minute jokes at like the rewrite table they go Jim would be like
00:06:13
no you would never well no you're too much of a [ __ ] and I go no I'm not what and then he
00:06:20
tell me I go yeah I'm too much of a [ __ ] you're I'm not saying that he goes of course cuz you're a [ __ ] and I go
00:06:26
why and but it was all whatever he wanted to say and get the anger out and get to me well then they hide behind the
00:06:32
whole thing I know that's why it's so funny they get to say whatever they want but I would have to sort of temper it but always funny I mean they're always
00:06:39
just they're just [ __ ] wait one last nor McDonald story sorry love them uh do you remember the Mama celest frozen
00:06:46
pizza commercials no yes no I don't and it was this and she would say abundan
00:06:52

00:07:41

00:10:03
a comedy
00:10:08
genius the first ferns I saw uh these ferns are like Tall Pine
00:10:15
trees by now but when I when I saw the first one I didn't know what it was someone just sent it to me and or said
00:10:21
look at this and so I thought it was a real interview and then it was Natalie Portman who I love and so I was uh of
00:10:27
course in a jealous rage immediately and then and then you were saying some of you you had great jokes that I won't repeat them
00:10:33
because I'm not good at that but but you said so many joke and it was so and for her to play along and I thought it was
00:10:39
real for a while and then I go Jesus this is so weird and then uh took me a while to figure it out too long and then
00:10:46
uh then so I started going oh this is great and then when you would do them you obviously didn't overdo it you didn't do too many they weren't super
00:10:53
long uh it was just a great great uh bit that lives out there on the internet
00:10:58
which which everyone should see um I don't know where I'm going with this day Ina jump in would you like to say
00:11:04
anything in your defense Zach uh well I mean I mean speaking of that one we shot
00:11:09
it that one we shot in a garage in um I think we shot that one in a garage uh
00:11:16
right around here right in Hollywood somewhere and uh the the thing about that one is
00:11:23
um there's a line in it not to be vulgar but it's a
00:11:29
something about did you shave your okay said you she was in V for
00:11:36
Vendetta yeah and then there's a punch sign did you shave your V for a vagina or something that one caught me off
00:11:42
guard to Natalie Portman in a garage yes in a garage in a garage with loose tools
00:11:49
about by the way I barely understand that joke like I I think I saw that
00:11:55
movie I don't know off but the fact think it's fact that I'm asking it yes so anyway uh she
00:12:02
was if I remember correctly she was quite um good with the whole thing and then
00:12:08
um uh we sent it uh to her just to you know show it to her and
00:12:15
uh I had asked that joke to be left out of it I said can you edit that out we'll
00:12:20
send it to her and her note was where's that vagina joke oh really oh I love I
00:12:28
don't know if that was the exact note where is the vagina joke something
00:12:34
like that something along those lines by the way there's a dog in that on the hip meter yeah she's unreal but uh did you
00:12:39
there's a dog that you keep cutting to which is even funnier yeah that was I think that was a real dog the dog rolls over his back and then when something
00:12:46
dies or just sits there then they cut over the dog just it's all it all works
00:12:52
and then I uh Sean pen one Shawn looked very cool in that one huh yeah I'd be scared uh but that one and then uh Sean
00:12:59
pen can yeah I had a fight with him I was in a dress at the time but you know he said Hit Me Harder he said you
00:13:06
can hit me harder was no problem so I hit him I would like to one day talk to him about the one we did because it they
00:13:12
bring it up because it was it was an interesting uh it was an interesting day well was was he truly upset or was
00:13:19
he he was very quiet he's a good actor so he or he's a good actor um
00:13:26
um and uh I I think he may have been ready to deck
00:13:33
me in real life I I don't know maybe he was doing a method thing and I I I don't
00:13:38
he held it so serious that you weren't sure if he was serious he might have been kidding yeah and and and I have
00:13:46
worked with him I mean I not that I know him but you know he has a good sense of
00:13:51
humor he really does yes um huge laugher
00:13:57
and um it loves to go see standup uh but I I in that
00:14:02
moment it was uh I remember watching was it something you was it a line that you gave you said something CU you weren't
00:14:09
you playing your brother or something in that I was playing this overly over the well it's not really over top there are
00:14:15
people like this in the South um uh really into him for the wrong reasons
00:14:22
type person okay and how does that guy talk well it's based on a character I
00:14:27
used to do um in high school called the I think his
00:14:33
name was a of the effeminate racist and
00:14:41
uh I remember that Skittles yeah so that's a great so it's just a guy that
00:14:46
talks like this and so friends of mine that were black in high school would bump me in
00:14:53
the hallway so I would this character would be released and I would say say to
00:14:59
them my mom told me not to talk to black people and they would go crazy would die laughing
00:15:07
cuz they understood at the time that I was mocking it all you know so that's where that kind
00:15:15
that's where that came from that was as simple as that well there was something Dana where he goes uh Sean and he's doing this and he's sort of prodding
00:15:21
goes did you get in I'd get into Hollywood just so you could go to all the parties and all the wrong reasons that Shawn wouldn't want Shawn is very
00:15:27
funny and unlike uh Persona out there and so I like he's going along with it but he was so serious then he goes I can
00:15:34
walk over there and knock you the [ __ ] out right now and even I was like godamn he gave that a good reading I think he
00:15:40
knew it was funny and interesting I think he was playing I don't think he was offended I'd like to ask him we
00:15:46
haven't spoken since um I his kids and my kids went to school
00:15:53
together or at least played Sports together up in Northern California so I'll talk to Sean yeah ask ask him ask
00:16:00
him I'm curious hey man I want to smoke if you could smoke
00:16:06
and not get diseases I would definitely be smoking right now there's nothing cooler right it's like tell us some more
00:16:14
Zach anyway can we go back to you as a young person then like you like you
00:16:19
strike me as like an introverted extrovert like you're shy in in a way I think we are maybe well I think I am but
00:16:26
yeah well it doesn't matter anyway um but then you have this Powerhouse thing
00:16:31
that comes out like in high school did you go theater group or you just funny with friends or what were you like in gr school high school just walking around
00:16:38
uh just walking around walking around the Beverly I mean you know I think I was somewhat
00:16:46
quiet but I think uh I mean humor in my family
00:16:52
was seen in very high regard uh so my cousins and my brother
00:17:00
my my my family is funny you know I I kind of watch them even as the quiet
00:17:06
person I thought I was or I think I was so I was kind of this more kind of
00:17:12
observant kid uh that thought maybe one day I could through my observations
00:17:19
maybe make a a thing out of it and you were thinking that like at age 8 10 12 I
00:17:25
mean but young young you got the idea maybe you would do this for this is going to sound weird but it was at my
00:17:30
parents conception of [Laughter] me doesn't sound weird at all doesn't
00:17:36
sound sound I was killing my brother Brad I got three older brothers he swears he remembers being born and he's
00:17:42
serious really yeah he has a photographic memory he just remembers being born yeah um I I'm not kidding
00:17:49
Brad the guy being funny younger really pays off and I think that's for all of us like at dinner or at school like I
00:17:56
was at a school that was uh I was a a bit of a pipsqueak hard to believe and
00:18:01
always bullied and pushed around but if you could I would quietly say jokes to my friends or under my breath but that
00:18:06
kind of if you get a little something that's all I had I wasn't super athletic I wasn't this so if you have some little
00:18:12
hook like that you go ooh my dad thought it was funny you know people think it's funny and then you go and then you try
00:18:18
to maybe that's kind of like that for a lot of comedians the tall guys didn't have to do anything to get the girls we
00:18:24
on a bio evolutionary level we had to be funny
00:18:30
Zach you're not that short you're you're you I'm around 6'2
00:18:39
[Music] okay I'm going to break down just for my own Amusement sure sure sure uh James is
00:18:47
awesome Trump cuz I I think that the way you do it is like free association Jazz
00:18:53
and I know you can I wanted to I wanted to say that a podcast clip of mine that I think think I think it caught on with
00:19:00
like Seth Meyers and his group of friends cuz it was Trump talking about 2000's New York alt comedy it was like I
00:19:08
had been doing Trump do then our guest Whit Thomas was like Hey TR you weren't you a comic back then in the 2000s in
00:19:15
New York they be like oh yeah there's you know what it was so wonderful to be with comedy you know what with comedy it
00:19:22

00:20:11

00:20:18
[Music] gap there's so much detail in that and you did the little breath thing you
00:20:27

00:20:34
just Trump things that you've Incorporated with free association I don't even I bet you never wrote These
00:20:39
down or anything but I I watched your thing okay frankly let me tell you you're going to be seeing a lot of it it
00:20:47
I can that I can tell you yeah yeah that I can tell you that I can tell you let
00:20:53
me let me tell you frankly frankly okay let me tell you
00:20:58
you can read it if you can read those frankly let me tell you're going to be seeing a lot of excuse me excuse me I
00:21:04
can tell you that that I can tell you I can tell you that I mean when you look
00:21:09
at I mean when you look at when you I mean when you look at yeah that that connector phrase like yeah uh ask me
00:21:16
something that I so you're going to be a reporter you're going to ask the real Trump a question he doesn't have an
00:21:21
answer to so I'm just going to not have an answer to it right so do you think we're going to increase uh exporting
00:21:27
next natural gas to Europe I mean when you look at what China's doing in terms of
00:21:33
Esports I mean really when you look I think when you look at all of it if you look at gas I mean gas is one thing but
00:21:39
frankly when you're looking at all the rest of it I can tell you that I mean when you look at what they're doing with and look at what the Democrats have told
00:21:46
us oh I love it the way that he can let's do
00:21:52
another he'll just spin it off into like his mesmerizing like way of talking in some other flip the page there's more if
00:21:59
you want I had oh yeah yeah and it didn't work out so great for some of those people and it didn't work out so
00:22:06
great for some of those people I love that one man I mean we were all listening to his voice for 4 and 1/2
00:22:13
hours every day for like 5 years you're the one who put it all together you know
00:22:19
and then you made it into this Supernatural and look at what they're doing let's see look at all of it
00:22:26
frankly look at all of it look at all and people are very disappointed like you wouldn't believe a
00:22:33
lot of people people are very disappointed like you wouldn't believe like you wouldn't believe that's a big one there is a
00:22:39
level of disappointment that would make your head spin frankly that would make there's so much disappointment there's
00:22:46
so people and people are angry what people what are they angry about it never matters he always says anybody he
00:22:52
says someone and a lot of people are saying very bad things about someone they're always you're hearing it more and more all
00:22:58
it's all very end run it's vag and it goes into a corner you know what
00:23:04
terrible deal a really bad bad deal you're seeing it all over the place many people are saying okay you're seeing it
00:23:11
all over the place many people say and they're saying we don't want that we're not people we're not people who want
00:23:17
that we're not people we are going to be doing something very soon we are going
00:23:22
to be doing something about it nobody knows nobody knows
00:23:28
nobody knows my favorite was when he was at the rallies during the height of Co
00:23:34
MH he was like and they can't even tell you what the 19 stands for it's literally
00:23:40
2020 it's 2020 I'm like context clues what do you think the 19 probably stands
00:23:45
for the 2019 version of the of the virus I think that was all I had
00:23:52
but he does say words like oldfashioned words like terrific and fantastic things
00:23:57
like dad says your Granda that aren't the vernacular as much anymore but just he keeps throwing them in there it's so
00:24:04
it reminds you that he's do you want to do oh yeah he's he's 75 and it's the mix
00:24:10
of the old timey language and the old timey way of thinking and speaking about people but he's obsessed with something
00:24:16
rude that Lady Gaga said about him on a radio show or something Lady Gaga was
00:24:22
very very rude not nice and she was she was not she was not nice she was not there's
00:24:29
also the kindergartener thing of just like breaking down what would have been a more elegant phrase with with another
00:24:36
presidential candidate and just breaking it down to like the caveman fragment like not nice very big Stone Cold loser
00:24:44
stone is a stone cold loser I mean that's the that's where you get the the 80s wrestler thing oh there's a little
00:24:52
bit of 80s wrestler to it too WWE now you do something you a little birdie told me you do something well where
00:24:59
someone could give you a famous TV show and you could talk about it as
00:25:05
Trump yeah okay yeah I can do that well since they don't think it's this is not
00:25:10
PR pre-planned you guys yell out any kind of famous TV
00:25:16
show okay there's 200 what did you hear 18 I can't the 18 the 18 The Wonder
00:25:23
Years anything you've heard of you know what with Winnie Cooper she was she was very beautiful but I don't think that Mr
00:25:30
Savage you know Mr Savage just needed to wait his turn I think that he needed to wait his turn with Winnie cuz whenn he
00:25:36
wasn't ready for what they were doing with one and Joe Cocker is such an awful person when you meet him with Joe Cocker
00:25:43
that is someone who needs a little bit more help from his friends I think I think he probably had to you know what
00:25:49
they said that he got high with the help of his friends I said what kind of friends are that if they're helping you with drugs and they're helping you and
00:25:56
you look at China you look at what they're doing with Russia what they're doing with honestly what they're doing
00:26:02
in Austin Texas is absolutely awful I think it's such a terrible thing with the Segways and the river and the bats
00:26:09
you know those bats [ __ ] everywhere those bats are [ __ ] on all of it and I said I was looking around they show me
00:26:15
the bridge and I said we got to do something about this bat problem got to do something about the
00:26:20
bats because and you know what they call it guano did you ever hear that they call it guano have you ever heard that
00:26:27
is that what the hell is guano and they said it's what they call the poop and they poop straight down the front of
00:26:32
their breast you know they they and you see the poop on like what is it going in their mouths so we've been talking to
00:26:39
Dracula we're talking to Frankenstein we're going to do something about the bats because the bats frankly should be
00:26:45
sleeping horizontally and this whole thing that Joe you know Joe Biden and KLA they want
00:26:51
the bats to be hanging upside down they want you to be eating bats every night there needs to be a Brazen Claim about
00:26:57
what the Dem something the Democrats aren't doing but but there's like a there's like a I mean come on well that
00:27:05
was all from The Wonder Years yeah they were always talking about
00:27:10
China on The Wonder Years I remember yeah yeah yeah you know it was Savage Savage was Savage was very involved with
00:27:17
everything that was going on with China with in terms of China wall and with regard to microchips and supply chain I
00:27:25
mean it's really awful with with Steve Jobs and all it I think it's terrible I think it's terrible it's like you don't
00:27:32
really need like joke jokes it's just the rhythm and the references are so
00:27:37
funny yeah I mean I mean I don't about you I just listen to this for hours I mean I just love that's how flow of it
00:27:44
that's how he led us for 4 years is because it is fun to hear him talk it's fun to hear whether you like him or not
00:27:51
like him whatever your politics are you will probably be hypnotized by the weird rhythmic way that he speaks I mean it it
00:27:58
works it does yeah like how he'll just repeat you're going to be winning winning like you wouldn't believe it's
00:28:03
going to be so good like you just believe it because he said it 20 times in a row within within one minute within
00:28:09
one minute it's going to be so you're not going to it's so good it's going to be incredible frankly it's going to be very very good like so I understand why
00:28:18
my grandpa who was like hardcore conservative you know who would never have voted for a trump in his life but
00:28:25
the minute that Trump was on TV 247 if you just hear I'm going to be amazing at
00:28:30
this over and over and over again and like and the people that hated him gave
00:28:35
him the most airtime they're like can you believe that he's saying this I'm like you prob they call it the Trump bump on CNN they got a mill a billion
00:28:42
net per year I mean it's just fun to hear him talk and it's mesmerizing and it
00:28:51
works you're going to like this one the because you know you didn't really lean on it much but in the beginning I
00:28:58
remember in the classic comic sense of the idiot so like there's Jerry Lewis is like the king and then I remember you
00:29:04
would do the hunched over guy and he would do that sound like where where did
00:29:10
that guy come from cuz that instantly made me laugh so hard that cuz you were so committed
00:29:15
was ohh I don't even know man it's very
00:29:21
musical always felt good in a microphone oh yeah wooho
00:29:28
I don't even I don't even know if that ever got on the air if I ever did that I I just remember seeing that and really
00:29:33
loving it you know but there there's one character I want to break down unless David has a question because I'm
00:29:39
F sure go ahead we're really close friends um the
00:29:47
operam man the evolution of Opera man that then became the indestructible
00:29:56
killer bit of all time by the time you got it on the update desk with the pictures and you were mixing great wig
00:30:03
so ad I'll let you but talk about the origins of that and the way you did it
00:30:08
and then the way you ended up doing it it evolved right yes it did right yes that's my question thank you yeah that's
00:30:15
a good question and I remember you were you knew the guy so there was a man on the street who used to sing opera on the
00:30:21
street he used to hold the can up and you'd be walking down the street and he'd kind of come at you go and he sing
00:30:27
really hot and you charge you and you'd be like who you
00:30:33
give money I didn't know that yeah that's kind of where I first started doing it around theice I love that I
00:30:38
didn't know that I met that guy today McDonald's he wasn't singing though he's
00:30:44
in between sets Adam what would a guy what would a guy like that be ordering like a McDonald how would he sound he
00:30:51
order barbecue sauce the thing that you can sound exactly Opera is one more gift
00:30:57
on SNL if you can if they'd write a a singing sketch obviously Adam wrote a
00:31:03
lot of his own but if they'd write somewhere you sing you can get in if you can play an instrument you can get in there's so many things if you can do
00:31:09
dance so if you I didn't do a lot of those things which was kind of a drag but Adam can sing so well and actually
00:31:16
write songs and actually write songs that are catchy because a lot of those things you don't update were actually really catchy on top of just being funny
00:31:23
and so that combo is big and that operam man was a [ __ ] crunch sure that always that was a gift from you do it
00:31:30
off in on the stage next update initially yeah no I first time I did it it was just gibberish it was like it was
00:31:38
a theater thing and I think maybe you or was it Phil that's what I remember I
00:31:43
don't know if I remember this maybe you maybe you but I was in my office Adam Adam used to go around the office on all
00:31:53
fours so then I hear a little knock and I'm in my office so I open it up and
00:31:59
you're on all fours you go oh and then you just you were asking me to do
00:32:04
something introduce operam man right I didn't remember that you were like a theater guy would say tonight the operam
00:32:11
man something like goes from the emotion of you know like trying to catch the bus
00:32:19
but unfortunately he misses the bus but then he sees his mother you know is
00:32:25
behind the bus and picks him up this watched the aqu or something like that and
00:32:34
walk and then I'd see my mother be something like that and that was it
00:32:40
and it did good it did good at the good you know Sandler it's good if you a
00:32:47
trick on SNL is if if Adam was probably slightly newer than but if you anchor it with Dana who they love right and then
00:32:54
he brings you on and they go Dana seems like it and they and then they start the
00:33:00
new guy help when you're new it help no it was a Dana the best at it so that's
00:33:06
what it was but any anyways uh it did fine I it was up at the table it did
00:33:11
well everybody remember after a while they started liking us at the table when David and I first were on us and um and
00:33:19
at the table and we tried to get on and we do full skits for ourselves everybody else was kind of like calm down that's
00:33:26
enough guys yeah that's enough not yet not yet not yet yeah right but then by uh uh this time they were like all right
00:33:33
give him a shot and then we did that and it didn't do great so Lauren didn't put it on but then the Turners out of
00:33:38
nowhere Bonnie and Terry Turner great writers wrot for the show eight nine years Wayne's
00:33:46
World they wrote the first Tommy Boy draft too what's that they wrote the first draft to Tommy Boy they that's
00:33:52
right Tommy Boy that's right they were they were monsters I don't even know why we don't hear about talk about them more
00:33:58
they had some huge sketches you guys should have them on this show would love to hi Bonnie hi
00:34:04
Terry listening to this when it's released but they wrote what what we said and Lindsay and Lindsay their
00:34:09
daughter their daughter Lindsay yes and but uh but anyways they wrote this thing and they talked to me I was in my office
00:34:17
they were like so remember that operam man thing he did we came up with an idea for the news and they showed it to me
00:34:23
and I'm so I was just so dumb and young and whatever I was and I was like I
00:34:31
guess I guess we could try it that way it was it was oper man on the news that you said oper man on the news showing
00:34:37
showing current events and singing about blah blah blah and I didn't really I was
00:34:43
like no operam man speaks gibberish and that doesn't make any sense you don't understand operam man so then it became
00:34:50
a divorce of how you know you do events with like trumpo exactly just that was
00:34:57
all those guys wrote it I got to be it they would give me The Melodies and Cheryl would would
00:35:03
write yeah and and they would just give me all the goods and I mean it was the
00:35:08
greatest gift ever that was a home run got to wear the the did you do it with Eddie veter or not you so you sing like
00:35:14
Eddie vet once you go I sing like Eddie as operam man or was it something else operan singing about Pearl Jam yeah yeah
00:35:22
and then uh yeah yeah and remember remember when I think they were even on the show Pearl Jam at night oh that's
00:35:28
right but what would he say a vet what do you me you got the pipes kid you you
00:35:34
were going he concrete but you sound exactly like him
00:35:41
I can't do it now I know any better he's it's a certain he does he's got a
00:35:48
thicker lower voice voice unreal yeah a juicy voice we we share an office me and
00:35:53
Farley and then you walk through our office to get to uh Adam and Chris Rock so when the door was closed I'd
00:36:00
hear like oh my God he's got to kill her cooking in there it's in the oven we all
00:36:07
had got excited when we landed on a good impression but um I did one with love
00:36:12
itss an opera man love that oh that was a great one he can sing great and that was a perfect only other guy who could
00:36:18
do it besides you cuz he's got pipes and he's just a funny so that was a killer
00:36:23
he played your brother or something I it was Glenn Close and uh and Lis and maybe they were my parents I don't remember I
00:36:30
remember they came they came s with me only on Saturday Night
00:36:35
Live that's right can we I I'd like I could go anywhere this so much fun I want to ask him about when he does bits
00:36:41
when he you get to bring in one of the musical Stars I think McCartney did Red Hood sweatshirt oh that was the great
00:36:47
godamn did something with him you did something with him I left right before McCartney hosted you you weren't there
00:36:54
then I miss I missed it I was a fool you know he was upset you know cuz we' met
00:36:59
at 86 in Laur at Lawrence house he called me up I don't know why you didn't stick around then you know we could have
00:37:06
had a plunker we be pling looking at each other I go who is this nobody
00:37:13
Pon I missed that but you you got to do a thing what did you do with Paul McCartney it was red hood a sweatshirt I
00:37:20

00:37:26
and we had dip you know I had dip dip dip andad stuff like that I say it and then
00:37:32
as it progressed Kevin maybe Kevin Neen did it with me and then I said uh let's
00:37:39
call out Paul and Linda and and Paul and Linda McCartney uh we wrote it for him
00:37:45
and then Lauren said I said will they do it he goes well you have to talk to them and so went to Lauren's office they were
00:37:52
eating I think they were on the show or they were just visiting they were they were Paul was the guest and Linda was with you walk in and you
00:37:59
have to convince them I just like had to come in with the Dopey guitar and be like my heart's pounding through my
00:38:05
chest did you crawl in or did you walk a little skip or something there
00:38:12
was that was when you were going to pitch it remember you'd skip across no I'm making that up sorry go ahead so you walk in there I mean I lawren eating
00:38:19
Shan Lee and Paul and Linda there Linda's
00:38:24
amazingly nice and Paul's amazing nice and I sing them the little thing and um and they laughed and uh then I left and
00:38:31
then I was like I I don't know if that worked or not but then they said yes and they forever I got that I sang with them
00:38:38
hung out with them after the show hung out Stella was there remember Stella was a kid she came to the show McCartney the
00:38:45
fashion designer yes and she was such a nice kid she was like our age then you
00:38:50
know like whatever we were and uh I yeah let's keep the numbers out of it I saw
00:38:56
him discipline his kids on Long Island went over to his house and you know I think James had a little toy sword a PL sword
00:39:03
he dropped it down in his sister and Paul goes you do that one more time we're going to have a
00:39:11
problemer see him as a dad I remember some comic said he had a bill he was the
00:39:17
first one with a billion dollars and they go you know if he lost his wallet
00:39:23
in a cab and there was 500 million in it he'd still have 500 million dollar that was some kind joke but do you remember
00:39:29
when Farley's Brothers came to the show when McCartney was on that stupid story where Paul Paul looked the same as Paul
00:39:35
McCartney growing up but he had a little bit of gray here and so Farley's brothers were standing there with red cups there was no security so the music
00:39:42
comes out of their dress room walks by the 8h page desk you know that and they walk right into the show and they go
00:39:48
Paul McCartney one minute till you're on live and so you see he comes out with a bodyguard on the front and back and he
00:39:55
walks out with his guitar it's [ __ ] Paul mcum I'm there with Farley's idiot brothers and they're all drunk and he
00:40:00
comes around and they go and one of them goes hey Paul and he looks over he goes
00:40:06
get a little gray and he goes and I remember that man he walks
00:40:12
out and I go are you an idiot he goes he looked and then he goes on the Monitor
00:40:18
and they're like 15 seconds and he looks in the Monitor and he goes like this he got in his head right before he went out
00:40:24
oh no know he's like is my and then um anyway so I I will say one of my
00:40:31
proudest moments cuz sometimes Adam and I would try to write together or uh we would all try to think of excuses to all
00:40:38
be in the same sketch or whatever and the the one I like the best is the gap girls when we were um in the that was
00:40:46
all David in the mall and then Farley says lay off me I'm staring that is one of the funnest ones we ever did and
00:40:53
Schneider was in it and Sarah Gilbert was a host oh yeah and uh we were all uh that was just the fun for me because we
00:41:01
would all just rehearse so you know you write it if it gets in you laugh at read through you laugh you know when when we
00:41:07
talk about what who plays what parts and what we say and then you you really wrote all that stuff though I know but
00:41:13
then everyone adds jokes whatever you want and then we got to do it on so you have to rehearse all week or once or twice that's a good reason to hang out
00:41:20
is rehear yeah that was amaz does everyone know about the Gap girls cuz there's a young AI okay cuz there's some
00:41:26
younger people here it was just a sketch where we all worked at the Gap we played
00:41:32
girls and it was infuriating and how did you talk whatever that's right oh my so
00:41:40
weren't you at the folding meeting yeah and I went to the Gap and studied it and they showed how they put a clipboard in
00:41:45
the sweaters and pulled them out and folded them out like mesmerized and then they would actually this is when you
00:41:51
feel kind of like a big deal cuz if you get a sketch on and you're just some doofus from Arizona and it's like a dumb
00:41:58
sketch about the Gap and then when they bring the sketches written it's put up
00:42:03
on this feet they bring in they talked the Gap and brought a whole section of the Gap over so it they had a security
00:42:10
guard cuz it would cost so much it was real pants real sweaters and it was just a chunk of the Gap they moved in the Gap
00:42:16
liked it because it was free advertising yeah even though we made them all look like morons but it was still really fun
00:42:22
and then uh we all hung out there and uh would PR ractice in there rehearse whatever it's called and uh it's great
00:42:29
so we did a couple of those we did gardy it was Jeopardy it was just a fun way for me you and Farley to be in sketches
