00:00:06
from the screen but you were still funny we just did Kevin nean and uh Kevin's an
00:00:11
old buddy and U just one of the group and what a crackup always throwing away
00:00:16
lines any anytime you talk to him whether it's on this or in real life just always funny yeah he's always I
00:00:24
mean I met him in San Francisco he started coming up doing standup where I'm from we're all friends and then the
00:00:30
first cake he would do is like he's leaving my kind of apartment or he's in the driveway in his car and he's talking
00:00:37
to you like just yeah so anyway whatever in the meantime he is raising up the uh the uh rolling up his window rolling up
00:00:44
the window and he keeps talking and that a lot of stuff you call it dry clever
00:00:49
acid humor um but yeah he's always dropping these throwaway lines they're
00:00:55
really funny he never pushes and one of the funniest you'll ever meet we were on

00:04:45
crazy yeah I mean you know it's uh I I remember one time uh I remember one
00:04:54
time no I remember one time I was in a Tampa and they had one of these JS or
00:05:00
radio personalities personalities that are just morning Zoo kind of guy high energy you know and uh I go in there and
00:05:08
I had H I was going through an aib episode at the time and my heart was irregular and if it goes too long you
00:05:15
got to have it shocked back you know and uh I don't have that anymore but at the
00:05:21
time I did and he goes how do you get rid of it I said well you got to be kind of shocked back you know with the paddles and uh he goes oh that's crazy
00:05:27
and then like a minute later he's got an air gun under his desk he sounds off the air
00:05:32
gun I almost fell off my chair and he go did that work did that work did that
00:05:38
work oh he's trying to actually get you back to life and you how and a medical
00:05:43
procedure that could have killed you that could have kill me but on the way back to the hotel it actually did go back uh the regular sinus as they say
00:05:51
what does that mean sinus it means regular rhythm oh Dana knows these terms
00:05:57
I don't I'm not steeped in that but I I know people go through it
00:06:03
Dan I know zuk crew messes you up are you Steed in it steeped are you steep
00:06:10
steeped in it you know comprehensive knowledge you know isn't that what T
00:06:15
does it Steeps hello anyway I guess so let's go
00:06:20
to the phones let's go to the phones let's go to the elevator now Kevin uh when you go on
00:06:28
gigs Kevin you travel a lot I travel a lot Dana travels minimal but uh let's
00:06:34
say you're on these gigs do you sometimes I do press ahead of time where I call to fluff up a gig
00:06:41
you know to say Hey you know I'm playing at this uh you know Indian casino or whatever but yeah do you ever get up
00:06:49
anymore like the old days and go in that's sometimes that's hard once in a while it kind of went away for a while
00:06:55
you know after the pandemic because you know and now they're slowly bringing it back in hey you know we got 10 seats
00:07:03
left you think you could top it off by getting up at 4 in the morning I know you're on La time zone and stuff but you
00:07:09
know really would help get rid of those 10 seats it would only be one in the morning for you and you're like right
00:07:15
well that's either late or early either one I don't like it you would not have even gone to bed yet if you were in La
00:07:22
yeah sometimes I go in and they go now we've got it dialed in where you call ahead and then you can do a phone or
00:07:28
yeah and sometimes yeah they go they go this is tape this is for Friday so act like it's yesterday was Thursday yeah
00:07:36
and when I say Friday I mean Friday two weeks from now act like the election's over and you
00:07:42
already know who won but yeah I don't uh I don't particularly like going in anymore I'm
00:07:49
more of the uh mindset look I don't care how many people
00:07:54
know I don't want to get up oh yeah that's too that's a big ask I mean
00:08:00
listen my fans they know where I am come come and find me yeah yeah can you
00:08:05
believe it's been um well for me I got an SNL about 38 years ago and it's been
00:08:13
like 30 years 29 since I left I mean we could be the grandparents of some of
00:08:18
those cast members that are on now and we might be oh I was just there for 10 weeks I was
00:08:26
working with people in their mid 20s yeah and a couple of them we did the math we checked out certain biographies
00:08:33
and I said I could be your grandfather we never got confirmation but it was in the realm of possibility did you uh did
00:08:40
they build a ramp for you to get up a new church lady oh yeah Church slave dress
00:08:47
was a little tight certain places but I still got it on and zipped it up you
00:08:53
it's been so long church lady is probably a virgin again after all that time it's um I
00:08:59
don't know about you guys but that's been such a Centerstone for me that show and constantly think about you know
00:09:06
Lauren Michaels what he would do what he would say to you you know if uh you know you feel like oh this is hacky stuff I'm
00:09:13
doing I hope it doesn't get back to anybody and it was so long ago it's like you know when we were when we were
00:09:18
starting to do comedy it's like your show of shows what had been a shorter uh
00:09:23
this is the time between when we first started what we're doing now and I'm speaking for you spay for me it wasn't
00:09:29
no I'm it's closer did you know that it's closer now from SNL till right now
00:09:35
till SNL backwards to when they invented the telephone I was trying to put something
00:09:40
together in my head Adam and Eve is closer to when we
00:09:45
got H yeah yeah were Adam and Eve
00:09:52
white question it got tense got really tense depends who's reading what from
00:09:59
what source they can be any color you want it depends on where that Garden is it was in Beverly Hills yeah was it was
00:10:07
it a red apple or a green apple yeah lot of
00:10:13
controversy I think it's a story it doesn't sound like paradise if there's a reptile on a tree taunting you if
00:10:21
there's snakes everywhere when you're having lunch and what if you're what if what if you're allergic to that fig
00:10:27
Lea oh yeah yeah how do you explain that yeah the thing they don't explain
00:10:33
is that the sex between Adam and Eve got really hot once they knew they were naked and they were kind of embarrassing
00:10:39
or sort of sort of elicit you know changed the whole dynamic elicit don't you think well do you think that do you
00:10:46
think that um they really had that um I forget the word but you know concern
00:10:52
that maybe their genitals might be showing and the only person that's going to see it is the other person you want have sex with yeah no one else around
00:11:00
except for the snake no one had had sex at that point right they were they were created so yeah I don't know this is
00:11:07
really uh the snake was like this is no competition for me I'm not steep I'm not
00:11:12
steeped in this guys oh don't don't keep doing steep now I like the word you
00:11:17
called it out I just got want ask you guys a question because I have a really wicked cold but I have a gig tomorrow
00:11:23
and I'm going to fly and I can't clear my ears and one time I did this and I have
00:11:28
C damage in one of the ears it's very painful D let me just turn your turn your head let me look in your ear see if
00:11:34
it's clear let me see you do you do the thing where you blow your nose and hold your nose I
00:11:40
don't do that I'm scared of that yeah am well if you guys ever cancel a gig because you didn't feel well or or you
00:11:47
just always [ __ ] it up you know well I will tell you I was just in Kansas City
00:11:52
and I got a stomach bug on the last day of my last gig there I was in bed all day I was over the toilet on the toilet
00:12:00
and I just forced myself to go you know to do the gig it was horrible I got so
00:12:05
many nights good question I could go forever one time I I was with Bill Maher and Tommy Davidson we had a gig up in h
00:12:11
Buffalo New York an outdoor like theater and I don't know if I was supposed to go middle but I had I had a food boy in the
00:12:19
back and I couldn't get up I had to lay down on a cop they brought a c over and I said I don't know if I could do this
00:12:25
but I don't want to fly all the way up there not do the gig so uh I I asked the stage man said would you put the C out
00:12:30
on the stage for me and I'll just do my act from the cot I told the audience said you know I'm really depressed I got
00:12:36
to lie down and I did it from the cot on my side and they were laughing like crazy and I got through it and I thought
00:12:42
that works so well I'm gonna start bringing that cot with me the other gigs it worked like it didn't work at all I
00:12:48
brought it twice and it just even when you feel good sometimes feel like
00:12:53
Frasier in the 15th round getting up off the stool if you're really really sick
00:12:58
well got you two problems with Dana's situation when do you cancel because
00:13:03
it's scary to cancel by the way if I was not doing the working tomorrow I would cover for Dan um and and the other thing
00:13:11
is if they wanted me but the other thing is you don't want to make it worse like if I fly I'm G make it worse if I
00:13:19
go uh you know you don't wan to you don't want to your ears or you're like I'm not supposed to fly with sinus stuff
00:13:26
because it might pop who cares if I get everyone sick but no one no one cares on my flights if they get me sick
00:13:31
everyone's coughing and sneezing and I'm like does anyone give a fat [ __ ] anymore about like just a do I wear a mask on
00:13:37
the plane because uh this is an all coach Southwest plane yeah maybe three
00:13:43
I'll be packed in with a lot of people and I don't know if I'll be coughing but look if I have this voice I'll be like
00:13:50
well isn't that special people get scared yeah here's what I noticed that
00:13:56
um when I have a cold and I don't want to do something with
00:14:02
people it's you know I'm not interested I'll tell them I have a cold and I don't want to affect them but if it's
00:14:07
something I really want to do and I'm obvious like Dana has got a cold I will say I got allergy I got an
00:14:14
allergy don't worry about me I got by the time they figured out you're out of there so you've never cancelled you've
00:14:20
had some Wicked nights but you've never cancelled a gig I've only cancelled because of like a you know a TV gig or a
00:14:27
movie yeah yeah but for illness you never cancel or or I had a good massage lined up that's time yeah no I never uh
00:14:35
I don't think I've ever canceled her illness you know I did uh San Francisco last year Dana your hometown or your
00:14:41
outskirts town and I was getting sick and my doctor said this is a sickening
00:14:48
word that makes you sound old pups in your nose which pops let me explain to
00:14:53
you what they are I don't know what they are but really he said they're 100% blocking you and you're going to keep you can't not be sick anymore because
00:15:00
you've waited 10 years to get an operation so I I'm at a gig and I'm sick and and I didn't mind really being sick
00:15:07
and just finishing the tour but you couldn't really hear me so I've never had that laryngitis which is so weird
00:15:13
but I don't want to cancel gig and it's the day of the show and people are coming so they bring in a doctor like
00:15:19
Pink Floyd you know to Jack you up you know sometimes they can do that they give you steroids I don't know what it is but you're right after you're like
00:15:25
John banet you're like somehow it clears you up it didn't
00:15:30
work and I still don't want to cancel so I go out there and I'm like hello and everyone's like oh like right away
00:15:37
they're like oh no and I'm like he's going to bit I didn't want to cancel so
00:15:42
I'll give you 4% and they're like Jesus Christ so I
00:15:47
literally was like everybody be really quiet it's hard to hear me so nobody Laugh Until the End and just uh I'll
00:15:55
just say my jokes flatly and then at the end it'll count and they're like great well how did you know that um you had
00:16:01
when you have poets in your nose I never knew that I mean you get a colonoscopy through your nose is that how they find out my nose is my my nasal cavities are
00:16:11
connected to my butthole somehow like it's goes all the way down and they go up through the butt through your they go
00:16:17
either way yeah oh nice nice might want to go through your nose first and then I go yeah I go aren't PS
00:16:24
in my bee hole and I go well they're just I don't even know what they are I picture like mushrooms growing there they they go it's blocking and so I I
00:16:32
went and I did the gig but I was glad I did it cuz it still went pretty good cuz it started to come back a little and
00:16:37
then uh you know I get that operation which is terrifying and really harder than they said but then I didn't get
00:16:43
sick for a year and a half nothing man look at us talking about aib and no we can't talk about this we cannot we
00:16:49
cannot no I I had gigs in the 80s because I you do eight shows a week 90
00:16:54
minutes A set and I would get like I a lot antibiotics a lot of you know plus I
00:17:02
I I bit on my tongue once and was bleeding profusely we welcome to the
00:17:07
stage you know I mean you just you do get funny things you go
00:17:13
well what about this we do this a lot I me spade and I have talked about getting injured in hotel
00:17:21
rooms like slamming getting up to go to the bathroom midle the night and slamming your shin into a table right
00:17:27
you've had those kept had a hematoma and I couldn't put weight on it it was so
00:17:33
painful you know wow yeah yeah yeah I was in Spokan Washington um doing a gig
00:17:39
and I I heard that Chevy Chase was doing his Christmas Vacation kind of a tour
00:17:44
you know question and answer stuff he was staying at my hotel and so I I texted him see if you want to go have a
00:17:51
cup of coffee because we're at the same Hotel he go well I can't I I fell last night I hit my head on a knif standand
00:17:59
well I would that happened to you when I was a lot younger though too because it's just another hotel and it's very
00:18:05
easy if the lights are down yeah I mean I never thought that Chevy Chase would get hurt falling you know he did he was
00:18:11
like a big Faller for a while yeah I mean that's how he got hurt actually and you wrote back LOLOLOL LOL LOL yeah yeah
00:18:19
yeah um but you know I've never gotten hurt in a hotel room like that I slam my finger in the door
00:18:28
[Music] I have a question for you Kevin this is not part of this um yeah just outside
00:18:35
the podcast a couple questions one is I don't trust you I want to hear a little bit about the Swatch tour because I was
00:18:41
so jealous of it when I was on SN I think I don't know if I was on it yet but I thought these guys are going on
00:18:47
the road I mean I don't think I was on SNL yet but I knew about you guys got a tour because you were doing well on the
00:18:53
show and like three hilarious guys you two and Dennis and then you played
00:18:59
Arizona I think at the Celebrity Theater I don't know why I remember all this I just remember was Swatch and I think I
00:19:04
remember what you were getting or I heard a rumor and I was like oh my God and what a fun thing even I don't
00:19:10
realize I don't realize then the road is hard but three funny guys watch tour and
00:19:16
that was in the summer was it Kevin and between after our first season it happened fast Kevin and I only done one
00:19:22
season right when would happen yeah I mean actually that tour is still going on right now um but Dana and I'm caning
00:19:30
tomorrow it's just you it's just me now I've been going since then so funny I
00:19:37
still call it the Swatch tour that's the first time I think something was sponsored in my head like a comedy tour
00:19:43
I thought that was a big deal so you guys got more money because you did you have to wear a
00:19:48
Swatch no but we got swatches I think we got swatches yeah that was really
00:19:53
exciting it was exciting because they play they played clips from SNL before we came out and the music you know GE
00:19:59
Smith band SNL band and it was just really High Rev and people would go crazy and that was you know before
00:20:06
anybody was kind of doing big yeah a theater was like not really
00:20:11
what I'd heard of maybe Leno maybe uh and uh what was the order do you
00:20:16
remember you guys just flipflop yeah yeah um I would go on first and then I
00:20:21
would never get off so it's just me basically you do they wouldn't let me get off I would just get uh you know ENC
00:20:29
course uh no yeah it was me I think Dennis and Dana maybe they switched it
00:20:35
up a little bit I think I think we switched off a little bit um it was me because I was a feature player on SNL at
00:20:41
the time oh yeah never like following either of you I wouldn't follow any of
00:20:46
you guys I don't want to follow Dennis or Kevin you want a nice very nice clean
00:20:52
opener not too funny yeah don't make him too good you know maybe Kevin when you get on did you tag team it you should
00:20:59
have brought up Dana and then you should have done your Hans and frons there we we might have I don't even think we had come up with Hans and fr we came up with
00:21:07
Hans and frons basically on that tour yeah that's we had not done it on SNL
00:21:13
yeah yeah we were in I think de Mo Iowa and I was watching Arnold sports Egger on some like up close and personal
00:21:19
interview and they were asking him what he does when he gets in the town I can't do a goodal but he goes you know when I
00:21:25
get in the town you know I get into the nice light coton shirt and then I go into town and I come back to the hotel
00:21:30
and they sleep into the nice light Cott sheets and so Dan and I started doing that the whole trip and then somehow it
00:21:37
just evolved into Hans and frons being these two pathetic defensive uh you know losers who never look a weight in their
00:21:44
life they're still my favorite I have to say what I laugh at the hardest for myself that I was in because they're
00:21:51
clearly have a lot of mental health issues they're extremely paranoid probably schizophrenic they're on this
00:21:57
Rinky Dink show and they're threatening no one is saying anything to
00:22:02
them they're threatening imaginary enemies and they will come to their house and do all these exotic torture
00:22:08
things to them and no one cares about them at all and they justad there probably there's probably only like a dozen 15-year-olds watching it think
00:22:16
they think it's like thousands of people and then you look so [ __ ] doofy with your hair did you have a
00:22:23
separated teeth or anything yeah oh yeah we would paint paint them oh yeah
00:22:29
but the the night Kevin and I were on the phone just hatching it out and uh and we were just riffing around with it
00:22:35
somehow and then Kevin said and if you don't believe and if you don't think you know and that just made me laugh so then
00:22:42
we did that for an hour and we knew that was really gold just did their paranoid if you don't think properly pumped up
00:22:48
think again because j i Losa you know what I mean so that yeah yeah and I remember when Arnold came on to be in
00:22:55
one of the H and fr sketches we were a little nervous uh cuz we were making fun of him and we went to his dress room and
00:23:01
he uh his name was on the door and his name was so long it went onto the wall a little bit you know and we uh we knocked
00:23:07
on his door and the door opens up and it's full of cigar smoke and we can barely see him sitting across the room
00:23:14
he's got a big cigar in his hand he's got the script he wrote and he looks through the cigar smoke to us he goes hello fellas now how am I supposed to do
00:23:20
the accent you know Arnold stylist
00:23:26
stylistically Arnold reminds me of trump and Trump reminds me of Arnold and that Arnold just is so smart but he makes
00:23:34
things very simple you know if they if they do your voice all it does is spread you out there and he he we talked to him
00:23:41
recently and he he said that us doing that really helped kind of solidify the
00:23:46
voice of of arold and so he we were fearful he might beat us up not literally but be mad or something or
00:23:53
disappointed but he was tell and it is a smart way to go if someone does an impression of you and I think he got a
00:23:59
great kick out of it you think they're both smart but don't know how to street
00:24:04
street smart Street Smart you know who Hans and fr no well Arnold the reason I
00:24:10
was so funny about Arnold is like and it's all he's always got it together you do your workout you go to a hotel have
00:24:17
your it's like this Fantastical life very simply said and then Trump's like
00:24:22
it's going to be beautiful it's going to be great I mean it I don't know what it is yet but it's going to be great when I
00:24:29
figure out what it is self self-promotion and very good about that self-promotion oh we had Arnold on the
00:24:36
podcast and then Dana did push-ups remember that was good that was like a little clip that went around uh I could do push-ups now if it
00:24:43
will help us somehow it's funny I did do they asked me to do Elon Musk on
00:24:48
Saturday Night Live and I did 30 seconds of it and they did pretty good prothetics and um I was him kind of at a
00:24:55
mega I'm D Mega I'm jumping around and then all Elon tweeted was uh or ex
00:25:03
Dana Carvey sounds just like Dana Carvey I thought was kind of funny you know that was a slam that was trying he was
00:25:09
trying to slam you oh that was a slam I think yeah like it wasn't good I do
00:25:15
think if you do an impression to someone it can be a little disjointed for them
00:25:21
because is that how people see me you yeah yeah yeah well anyone getting an impression Tom Petty I did I made him
00:25:27
look like he was was deformed in the face just like stretching my face around
00:25:32
but you know and then I always think when you meet him they're going to be so excited like oh aren't you the guy that makes me look like a fool is aren't you
00:25:40
the guy where I you benefit and I don't at all because I'm the guy you're making fun of and I'm like yeah ain't that
00:25:45
great I would I did oh go ahead I was just gonna mention because I I hadn't
00:25:51
seen anyone else do that you did Brent musberger it was a famous sports cter he may have just retired or something but
00:25:58
yeah and you just pulled your eyes down or something yeah I pulled my eyelids I pull the sides of my eyelids down that
00:26:04
was an Al Franken uh idea right there just kep just kept him there as you're
00:26:09
talking oh during the bit you held him instead of Prosthetics he did it you know manually and just
00:26:15
held but you know talking about people getting mad at you for doing them I used to think yeah they're they're all
00:26:21
getting mad at us for doing it but people actually these actors love it because it gives them the attention mostly and I remember I did
00:26:28
uh but not always I I did Michael Bolton once where I was singing trying to sing like him my voice was all raspy and I
00:26:35
had I got bronchitis after that like a month from doing that voice so I go I'm in Hawaii like you know maybe eight
00:26:42
months later 10 months later and I get into the uh the jacuzzi in in how in
00:26:48
Hawaii and Michael Bolton's in on the other side it's just me and Michael Bolton and his wife at the time and my
00:26:54
wife at the time oh no and he did not say a word to us and then I'm walking
00:27:01
back to the hotel room and uh she said didn't say anything he didn't say one thing and uh maybe and I said I wonder
00:27:08
why uh he was so kind of standoffish and she goes well you did make fun of him and I I like oh that's
00:27:14
right oh but he ended up doing a lot of funny stuff oh yeah no he's great he's
00:27:20
great yeah I mean he really makes I was probably misreading it at the time but he was cuz you know he had such an
00:27:26
ego what about tried to drown you great voice well he did let me up at the last
00:27:33
minute was he in the feed the chickens fundraiser sketch I don't
00:27:39
know that was where David did I I did Dylan and you did
00:27:45
Petty it was all we are the world right yeah yeah it was We are the world I was
00:27:50
either Dave perner Kurt Cobain or Tom Petty those
00:27:56
are the three I did in those type of sketches we're like doing a fundraiser where everyone great idea just everyone
00:28:01
plays a celebrity I think it was Bonnie and Terry Turner you must have played some celebrity and Farley was Wilson
00:28:10
Phillips he was Wilson and Phillips you know the funny thing about Farley doing that is that the other two were actually
00:28:16
just extras which is very rare on our show we had someone just play should it could have been Christine Xander or
00:28:21
something but you throw writers in there sometimes but it was just purely extras
00:28:27
that look like the other two you know let me ask okay go ahead I just gonna go ahead
00:28:35
goe can I get a word in for a minute uh I would see these posters of you and and
00:28:41
Farley and you look like you're a 12 at the time and and I I always think to
00:28:46
myself I wonder and the same with John Candy I think I wonder what kind of work would be done by those actors now uh if
00:28:53
they were still alive you know and and if you were alive as well and I always
00:28:58
wonder what that would if Farley you know Farley in Tommy Boy I still have
00:29:04
his jacket that's like kind of plaid jacket he worn on the poster or in the movie and it's not that big he he wasn't
00:29:12
that huge then only cuz I was such a twig it kind of made him look bigger but
00:29:18
he probably at the end May weighed 80 more pounds that jacket fits you at the
00:29:23
time that jacket fits me now but but yeah I think Brendan Frasier was it Dana
00:29:30
he came over and he put it on and it fit him perfectly and Brendan Frasier isn't big he wasn't in his whale costume he
00:29:37
was just regular was that a whale costume is that Prosthetics remember when he played whale did he gain weight
00:29:43
for that I don't know yeah that was massive prosthetic he told us for a full hour I don't remember I'm like that was
00:29:50
an intense movie but I do think that Chris Chris's Golden Age you know Tommy Boy and that Yuri had on SNL you
00:29:59
obviously uh was he guest hosting when he did the man down by the river was that was he in part of the cast no he
00:30:05
was in the cast I think he did it he did it again when he okay when it later when
00:30:10
he he hosted right toward the end and he was really sweaty and uh Bob Odenkirk
00:30:17
wrote that correct yeah River yeah yeah he would he would he
00:30:25
would get really sweaty I remember the last time I saw him I was up in the roasting office and he was in a conference room just sitting at a long
00:30:31
table and I think he had like his hair dyed pink was a mohawk or something and
00:30:36
leather jacket and just sweating and real fidgety yeah let me guys ask you a
00:30:42
question at Seinfeld go went crazy when I always say this let me I got ask you a question because there's all these
00:30:47
things they doing with SNL because the 50th documentaries this and that they put me in some room and they had on one
00:30:53
board tons of sketches on cards alltime great sketch and then they had a classic board and
00:31:00
they go okay we want you to pick what would be the first sketch you're trying
00:31:06
to do an Allstar show right after the monologue they already had a cold
00:31:12
opening I couldn't remember what it was oh host monologue so the first sketch up and that and I saw van down by the river
00:31:19
but then I'm thinking you can't have that first up because you can't follow it you know so you want something really
00:31:26
up but that people could follow follow and you you know all the all great I
00:31:33
actually cuz I not cuz I was in it but I thought it was not hysterical but
00:31:38
incredibly entertaining and that was Wayne Wayne's World with Tom Hanks as
00:31:44
the Roadie and also Errol Smith and we play with them like it'd be a big energy
00:31:50
boost but it wasn't that it wasn't like cowbell or or van down by the river
00:31:56
sketches that you know tough tough to keep going in a way they take a little
00:32:01
time maybe put update in between them yeah I like the concept that you're picking the best sketch is very hard to
00:32:08
look at the board trying to Great the greatest show of all time yeah it's an interesting one of the one of the
00:32:14
sketches that I loved was uh and I have loved A lot of them but it makes me laugh every time it's making me laugh
00:32:20
now the I think it was called the Bing move sketch when I was uh with chrisy Ali going to the Italian restaurant and
00:32:26
all the Italian you Schneider and santori maybe yeah maybe that's said yeahor and they were all doing this
00:32:33
Italian overly affectionate you know kissing licking her face no that's what they do honey they're Italian that kind
00:32:40
of weird yeah one one two things on that for me and I totally agree because it
00:32:45
was it killed like it was a homebased sketch and it was a restaurant sketch it just crushed and Kirsty Al I was
00:32:52
supposed to lick her face you did somebody licked it no no and she was totally cool do whatever you want look
00:32:58
at any I don't care about anything you know she was very very cool I just want to put that in there and then the moment
00:33:03
where my character goes over as Schneider and and Sandler are coming in hardly dressed yeah kept escalating and
00:33:11
then I I put Victoria stood her up put her down on the table and her leg and then kept talking as I was now
00:33:22
that was probably the build of that whole sketch that moment where I was just the passenger in the joke I was
00:33:28
doing legs over my thing hey come on was one of the biggest and it's in the background too
00:33:35
so it's not like right it's back for it's kind of casual um was s a jock
00:33:41
strap when waer but that was the funny thing is when we're walking away they all come
00:33:47
up to the window and s's got a speedo on it's s's there and they're all looking
00:33:52
about like they're puppies and you know to be aded yeah we're just pressing our faces
00:33:59
again okay it's called ill Cantor it's on YouTube ill Cantor the other one the other one that comes to mind is uh HW
00:34:05
Harry that Jack candy wrote when Dana Dana's wig they had put some like
00:34:11
red syrup on there so the dog would lick it and the dog is pulling on his pulling his wig wi off and D is trying to hold
00:34:18
on to it I was again I was just the passenger in that and they did put more
00:34:24
did Schneider tell us they put more it was like baby food or something but they kind of held back on the dress show and
00:34:30
then they put a ton on the prosthesis the fake you know rubber
00:34:36
bloody head I suppose they had and then I knew I had the sketch was going so strong that I made the I just did not
00:34:44
want the wig to come off and have it be so I just held it at the temple and that
00:34:49
just made the tug-of-war go on for a minute or something and so you
00:34:54
can't beat a dog that doesn't know it's in a sketch it just really is hungry trying to [ __ ] with it would have been
00:35:01
hilarious if he actually took the wig and ran away with yeah that would be [ __ ] awesome just the title alone
00:35:06
could have gone to that just the title alone head wound Harry massive head makes me oh massive head it makes me
00:35:14
laugh so hard with a little song and I was talking to Sarah Sherman and some of the younger cast members and I said uh I
00:35:21
love a little a presentational sketch where the song kind of tells you
00:35:27
everything need to know yeah and they said it that's kind of out of fashion I didn't want to be a grumpy old man okay
00:35:33
but it was it was always very relaxing when you see a little song and a thing and then you go in the guy actually has
00:35:39
a massive head wound I don't know I would do more of that personally but maybe it's out of style like Tunes tun's
00:35:46
had one t Tunes the cat or even Hans and fron welcome to Hans and fr or even um
00:35:53
he's Li the feminine feminine heterosexual a song wasn't it oh
00:35:59
everything is conjectural he's ly he a feminine heterosexual I had a hard time with that one because and again this is
00:36:06
the early 90s it it it was very edgy I
00:36:11
heard it was Tim Burton's favorite sketch um but I'd met a hairdresser who
00:36:17
I just thought was gay and he was straight you know um and so that there
00:36:22
it went from there but I couldn't really do the voice because every time I did it it sounded like church lady to me so I
00:36:28
had to come up with a different that's inside baseball um Kevin so you had a
00:36:35
subliminal man uh on update several times or well
00:36:41
that was the first sketch I ever did was Mr subliminal in the first show that we came out of the gigon and I was
00:36:46
terrified because you know you you see you're standing on the stage where blushi and when was that on in the show
00:36:52
by the way it was I'm not sure I think it might have been in the first half but
00:36:57
waiting to go on and I'm terrified and we're like 10 seconds out from
00:37:03
commercial and Lauren Michaels comes up to me he puts his hand on my shoulder and he he said are you sure this is what
00:37:10
you want action what a psycho he always has
00:37:18
little quips and he doesn't realize they're just like Bombshells to whoever is about to go on everyone's so scared I
00:37:26
believe he believes and maybe it does in a way uh kind of relax you I mean once you get
00:37:32
used to it not on your very first show but Lauren always does stuff like that it'd be a good thing if the show was
00:37:38
actually like good you know and stuff like that I love I would love to see a
00:37:44
a a compilation of everybody's first sketch and kind of gauge the level of
00:37:50
nervousness that they're having yeah that's interesting but not good think no it's
00:37:56
not it's not a great idea but it's an interesting idea yeah what was yours I
00:38:01
can't think of you had any line in oh you know what mine was casualties of War when I did Michael J fox and it
00:38:07
backfired backfired because back because they forgot to put me as a feature player in the opening credit so people
00:38:14
thought it was Dana or Mike because I had a wig on and they didn't know it didn't sound like my voice so they were
00:38:20
just like who was that guy you know Elon Musk thought it was you huh Elon Musk
00:38:27
thought was you you he said I saw that bit it sounded like David Spade exactly
00:38:33
David Spade oh and I was like oh so yeah Kevin and I I mean to have a
00:38:40
sketch say was before update and stuff was a big thing you know especially we had a small cast and our very first show
00:38:47
everyone got to do a lot of stuff right yeah there's only like eight of us right I think it yeah total you guys had
00:38:55
four cast members right uh when they first started I think it was five maybe or it was one five or
00:39:02
six yeah I was a feature player and then the next year Lawrence said I could be either cast member or uh if I want to
00:39:09
stay a writer or I could remain a writer and I mean you know but if I became a
00:39:14
cast member I wouldn't have that writing title oh that's right they take writing away but we allot I took the cast I took
00:39:22
thing on the cast so you were in the cast yeah they're doing a documentary
00:39:27
uh one of the SNL there's five of them on peacock uh and I guess one of them is
00:39:33
just writers which is great but I asked the person who saw it I said is there any cast members in there who just were
00:39:40
writing but didn't get credit because it is it's you get used to it but it is just sort of funny people say who wrote
00:39:47
that thing like well I wrote 90% of it you know right right right it's crazy
00:39:52
that you don't get that I hosted one of those it was called the weird year and that was in 1985 I think that cast 85 86
00:40:01
yeah yeah that transitional stranger yeah Anthony Michael Hall Robert D Jr all talented you know actors but I don't
00:40:08
think the Synergy was there between the writers and them
00:40:13
Synergy you know it didn't they didn't let it steep enough you know yeah well there's ground lanes and and and Second
00:40:20
City and stuff and then there's just standup and and and actors standup and
00:40:26
then actors but standup you know we're trained to get a laugh and so we automatically are trained to be have
00:40:32
some brevity to the setup and things like that aware of the laugh points but
00:40:38
uh I I would have loved to have gone to something like Groundlings didn't have it when I was starting out San Francisco
00:40:44
that is my regret but you know who would have thought all I wanted to ever do was standup comedy I wasn't even thinking about acting or improv I just wanted to
00:40:51
be a standup but yeah in hindsight I would have much rather been in the ground Lings had I known like guessing
00:40:57
that was going to come after
00:41:03
me I have a question before we dump Kevin but um Kevin when you what was the
00:41:09
movie you did with sandar you've probably done a handful with him right yeah I've done like
00:41:14
13 films I the one where you had plastic surgery oh that was called Just Go With
00:41:21
It they they look like they it looked pretty real what did they do well that was 4 Hour was in a makeup
00:41:27
chair every morning oh it was it had to be CU it looked good for four days and they only used me one of those you know
00:41:35
oh really yeah one uh but it was really funny character because I had so much plastic surgery and Sandler was a
00:41:41
plastic surgeon and I would see him at the party and I come up to him because I was addicted to plastic surgery and I go
00:41:49
you know whatever his name was one more one more cap just give me one more cap
00:41:54
you know implant cap implant you know I'll take one you know and then I'd laugh and that water would drool out of
00:42:00
the corner of my mouth I couldn't move my face you know uh but I I done a lot
00:42:05
of those films with him and I remember I was uh I got the script for Grandma's Boy and I read it and I thought I don't
00:42:12
know man I don't think I want to do this one it's like really crass and you know Sandler wasn't even in it but he was
00:42:17
producing it and so I decided not to do it and the next day sand called go nean I really hope you do this show this
00:42:24
movie because you know if you don't do it and it's a big kid I'll feel bad but you know if if it's uh not a big kid no
00:42:29
one will see it anyway you who that was Nick schwarzen right
00:42:37
and yeah yeah and it was Jennifer Aniston in the plastic surgeon film with Sandler that was that was a big hit I
00:42:45
believe that movie yeah yeah just go there huge Grandma's Boy I was in and I
00:42:50
probably did Kevin's part that he passed on I was a waiter well no I didn't pass on I ultimately played Mr cheel
00:42:57
a boss yeah I did too and they I I jinxed at him I
00:43:02
mean I think the films were perfectly good but they didn't outperform and first one was Little Nikki all right and
00:43:10
I played the ref with a high pitch voice and then Jack and Jill where Regis and I
00:43:15
were kind of hanging out because Regis Filman was in that one too these just like small parts but Jack and Jill I I
00:43:22
guess I think it has a Resurgence now you know it had a lot of funny stuff in it Happy Gilmore coming out Happy
00:43:30
Gilmore yeah yeah I just finished doing that with amazing yeah that's be crazy yeah
00:43:38
yeah that was fun I think that movie uh is just sort of iconic at some point it became iconic so people really want to
00:43:45
see it the budget was the GMP of Guatemala it really was man I've never
00:43:51
seen it was almost like an invasion going into the you know I mean there
00:43:57
like aund trailers and golf carts everywhere and you know prime rib and
00:44:02
wild salmon how many cameos uh in it or how many character actors are in I keep
00:44:09
hearing people are in epie Gilmore there's a lot there's a lot of like athletes and cameos Guinness Book World
00:44:16
Record of cameos love it you Marcelo yeah from as now yeah yeah I
00:44:23
mean just a lot a lot of people a lot a lot of people it's going to be a lot it's going to be
00:44:28
a huge smash we're gonna do things we're g to take over you know it was very
00:44:33

00:45:45
say that's funny yeah it bonded anyway um no it did good it was funny I
00:45:51
remember we we had SNL you know our Studios was above 11 when somebody out on letter and they
00:45:57
would call me to come down and it got to the point where I I really had nothing to say nothing prepared so I said I
00:46:04
can't really do this anymore I never thought I'd be turning down like a spot of Letterman Conan too when Conan took

00:49:43
desperate and thirsty like me out there running around doing gigs all over this [ __ ] town and this country all over the
00:49:51
country oh man well Kevin do you take it do you take advantage of social media
00:49:57
B I mean do you feel like you should be out there like you know more Clips illegal way I I do clips and I don't
00:50:04
really do clips of my act because most of my stuff is a little longer than you
00:50:09
know I could put longer Clips but some bits I guess I still do some of the old ones I put up some are not as relevant
00:50:16
but it is good just have Clips floating around someone catches something yeah you don't do audience
00:50:22
work crowd work I don't and I don't know if I even love when I see these clips because
00:50:27
everyone's doing them only because that's the clips you put out to come see them so they don't burn
00:50:34
their real material but then they look like a crowd work act so some people go
00:50:39
there expecting do a crowd work act I mean it's okay now film five shows and
00:50:45
take the best crowd work parts and just call IT Crowd work I mean that beats writing and act yeah that's what matter
00:50:50
Kevin you're very good at that so well you know what a lot of people don't know
00:50:56
is I do the same crowd work on every show you know I I the same you know
00:51:02
whoever the person is I'll do the same lines each time looks like it's spontaneous but no no but oh so you
00:51:09
don't want to record it because then you can't use it you no I use the same three people in the audience I take them with
00:51:14
me on the road they're shills okay and it looks like it's spontaneous you know what I do Kevin I go up it's like a lot
00:51:20
of work to travel with it and the C I bring the C with me too so it's a big it's a prig production to do I was
00:51:28
talking with Brian Regan once he did one of my hikes and uh he says everything in his act is it's the way it's supposed to
00:51:34
be there's no spot or anything if he spills the little water that was
00:51:40
planned for real Brian yeah and one of the funniest Comics out there I know
00:51:45
people do that like when they laugh in the middle of a joke and then I
00:51:51
see them all week and they laugh at the same spot every night I go oh my God yeah I know but it is an act that's why
00:51:56
they call it an act it's a magic trick you're like hey well you're pretending
00:52:02
you have that you're remembering your material oh uh yeah it's trying to fool
00:52:07
the audience I mean it's um yeah yeah I used to know everybody when they took a
00:52:13
you know a swallow before their their um line or you know it's it's and you know here's the one thing I don't do and this
00:52:20
is just for me it's I don't call a bit a joke like if somebody laughs they'll say
00:52:26
oh you know that last joke I you know because that's like it's like a magician saying that
00:52:31
was a trick yeah no I thought that was real I thought that really happened no no it's a trick you know so I never call
00:52:37
it a joke uh and so that way people realize I'm not a comedian like well
00:52:43
maybe he's not a comedian maybe that's actually happened to him this is just an hour of things that happened to him
00:52:48
recently yeah yeah no it's a lot of uh well when you say you know
00:52:54
uh actually let's say two weeks ago I was driving yeah you say something like that
00:53:00
two weeks ago yeah I've done all the tricks I've done all that stuff it's all good stuff some
00:53:05
of your early stuff was uh remember seeing this one the comedy manic Club you know they say live every day like
00:53:11
it's your last so every day I take out insurance or whatever you I stay on the phone for three hours making H funeral
00:53:18
arrangements then I just wait literal the every single day you have to do that
00:53:24
because it's your last day isn't it funny that and I know this happens to you too someone will'll come up and they'll say uh in fact Spade did this to
00:53:30
me once he goes hey you got a really nice camera right it's one of those black ones you know remember that and
00:53:36
then you don't remember and I go that's from your at that's what I'm saying people remind you and you go oh I I I
00:53:42
don't I don't know that one but I I guess so I I saw Letterman a couple weeks ago and uh he was telling me about
00:53:50
it how much he loved this joke that I used to do and he tells it to everybody and gives me credit I said which one was
00:53:55
it he goes well you talk about how uh Abraham Lincoln used to walk to school
00:54:00
every day in the snow but what they don't tell you is yeah but he was late every day and he L that joke so much and
00:54:08
so a week later I tried it in a club because I don't remember it if I Jo in a club crickets nothing yeah bom I like
00:54:17
