00:04:29
go you know what's funny I I saw him on the show with uh someone about two weeks
00:04:34
ago and then about a month ago and I go rock you're actually on the show more now than when you were a cast member I
00:04:40
know and he and he hangs out a lot too right he just goes there why not it's like a
00:04:47
club I know it's kind of cool that is cool if I wasn't hosting and I was in New York I've only been there once I was
00:04:54
actually well the 40th but that doesn't do you like going down the hallway and seeing pictures of yourself from 40
00:05:01
years ago doing a sketch I have a difficult time trying to find them
00:05:07
section I know there's any pictures of me on this one if you look at Anna
00:05:12
gastars Once you take them off and then we see you I don't know I don't know behind on a vault like get out of here
00:05:19
you're in all star are I do remember that though remember I don't know if you ever felt this but there was something
00:05:24
about being on that show and being like yeah is there a picture of me outside of Lauren's office like as if that meant
00:05:31
something like oh look there's a picture of uh me in this sketch and if that's at
00:05:36
Lauren's office like that's something special yes you know what that right when you go up the stairs to to people
00:05:44
listening eight four is where you shoot the show if you walk up the stairs nine floor it's also the balcony of the
00:05:50
audience you can watch and it's also Lauren's office and that's where they pick the sketches and on the air night
00:05:56
and if you walk up those steps and you're walking Lauren's door there's a secret door you can go in that's right
00:06:01
but there's there's frayed photos and I would always like to be on one of those because the host would see it and then
00:06:08
they would go oh that guy's on the show he must be something but there weren't any of me we're all
00:06:15
we're all wounded little clowns they were all of Dana everybody gets into that where's my photo where is it why
00:06:22
why not I would get very relaxed when I would see Lauren on a show day he'd have a tall foot long glass he'd take an amp
00:06:30
still light yeah right hamster light I remember that which is like two percent alcohol whatever that's how he you know
00:06:35
and then he would do that long pour yeah and you're like God we have a show today he's pretty relaxed I guess we're in
00:06:41
good shape sometimes I'd have a drink with him watching the monitors underneath the
00:06:47
bleachers because I had nothing to do in the show you guys are so so self-deprecating about there
00:06:53
hey Lauren can I get an app still I don't think I sat with him in that like
00:06:59
in a way of being you know relaxed with him I remember just being in there to get notes but his notes were going
00:07:07
through whomever was there at the time like someone like Lyle or I don't know
00:07:12
some someone was giving the notes to me through Lauren was telling her the notes and then she was telling me yeah and you
00:07:19
were one foot away yeah yeah you know what I like that I forgot about under the bleachers there's a monitor and
00:07:24
Lauren watches the show and then he says what he's thinking during dress and the
00:07:30
Lyle and someone write them down maybe Aaron yeah and then right Aaron Aaron Moroni and then they go I remember he
00:07:36
goes too much blue all right what's he doing here we don't need that entrance why do I see that
00:07:42
trophy bring Keith in here that's not a Chardonnay it's more the color of a Pinot Noir yeah one of these shorts too
00:07:49
tights
00:07:54
why uh the testicles so wide why is one luckier than the other
00:08:01
how old is he I forgot how old is Katan can he be younger Katan is Katan isn't
00:08:10
that what he is isn't that what he is isn't he a full sentence Chris Kattan like a little boy no speak yeah do you
00:08:17
remember we uh when I first got on the show I was well put in your office or
00:08:22
shared an office with you and uh you remember that you and I and you think were uh oh fake
00:08:30
96. I don't remember that that much because I thought they sequestered me and he away from everyone because I
00:08:38
didn't do many sketches that was a year Dana I stayed one year maybe too long
00:08:43
and right I mean you weren't there too long Lauren goes if you stay do five minutes a week you can do
00:08:50
whatever you want I was so excited to be seeing you because I was like a huge I'm still a huge fan but at that point I was
00:08:56
like a really huge like I loved your Tom Petty I loved your life I was like oh my God I'm sorry I was telling my mom like
00:09:01
I'm sharing an office of State it's crazy you know I was so like and you were totally relaxed of course you know
00:09:08
you were so dry and like uh I feel David you're too relaxed no I I that was the
00:09:14
way when I got there you just see people that have been on so it's fun to say right oh I'm with people that are
00:09:20
actually on they've been through the [ __ ] grind it's like Saving Private Ryan you're the new guy and they're like
00:09:25
already in the middle of their hike and you're like hey I'm new and they're like get in line we're going in you're like we're all ready well I I don't know
00:09:32
anything yet they're all grizzled fast I didn't know what was happening but I
00:09:38
just stuck with uh well Lauren was helpful he was just telling uh well he
00:09:43
told Shoemaker to tell you know say that why don't you try out the gibberish guy so that's what I did first uh week that
00:09:50
I was was that your first sketch yeah I was the school Forester but you know good afternoon
00:09:58
yeah but uh they uh you know they asked me to do that thing because I had no idea what to do otherwise I was like
00:10:05
sitting in front of a computer and not I didn't know what to do it's like six
00:10:11
weeks before the end of the season putting diarrhea in your pants yeah you know oh you came in mid-season actually
00:10:17
stick sweets before the end of the season which is 90 after mid season yeah
00:10:22
I came in four weeks for the end I know that's definitely weird because it's already going it's already happening and no one's got time for you yeah but I was
00:10:30
really excited to be in the same office with you I was like freaking out what did you bring from uh the growlings are
00:10:37
like you know they'd say I have some stuff in your back pocket was the gibberish guy one of those
00:10:44
Mr Peepers and um Mr Bieber's the monkey thing which uh which was made thank you
00:10:52
very much please hold up well I want to talk about Mr Peepers because I go by like when I watch the show and something
00:10:59
is kind of Supernatural like I've never seen before it never gets out of my brain and that that one was like wow
00:11:06
this is so different it's so cool weird
00:11:12
and weird was that the eat the apple that's why I ate the apple and then I I humped somebody
00:11:17
yeah but to turn yourself in into a monkey a human like animal I'm yeah I'm
00:11:25
a you know half man half monkey so that's what he was in your children he's literally a hybrid half man yeah
00:11:32
basically yeah I was there for uh read through the first time Mr Peepers uh
00:11:38
Katan walks out half man half monkey wearing hugees Apple takes a bite yeah
00:11:46
and then I got on the table to like I have to show that I can do this physically because oh no you got on the
00:11:53
table and the read through in front of 60 people yeah people were not very happy
00:11:59
about it because you're getting Apple Shillings on everyone all over everybody ah don't get juice really yeah I got on
00:12:07
there I got like even jumped on the the main table the table and then at one
00:12:12
point I went to the window like behind Lauren and jumped off there and I even
00:12:18
remember Pete yeah and Piedmont Piedmont was like Jesus Christ
00:12:23
was who was your host Jesus Katan I don't know probably like Charlize
00:12:30
Theron or I think it's Charlize Theron do you remember Dana uh I wasn't there but a story where Ben Stiller Dolly
00:12:40
Parton was the host and he I was there yeah what happened he did you two or something well Ben's Ben stayed up all
00:12:46
night working on a U2 sketch he was I was the edge he was Bono and and Ben and
00:12:52
Ben decided we would all get up in in the read through room with the 60 people and put on like a sketch but Ben had a
00:12:59
loose vest on with no no shirt underneath and Bennett stayed up all night and had not showered and he put
00:13:06
Dolly Parton right up against him and it was it was interesting poor Ben
00:13:12
she has like Double D well I don't know why are we talking about that anyway that must have been an interesting sight
00:13:18
I think everyone knows Dolly Parton has big boobs when Dolly did the show where I'm on the Sound Stage with Phil and
00:13:25
John and she goes okay boys I'll look away so you can look at him I'm gonna look away now is that what you're saying
00:13:32
look all you want and again let's see nine to five as a kid and I was like Ugh
00:13:38
I love nine to five nine to five yeah remember that movie with Lily Tomlin and Jane Fonda hell yes I remember her
00:13:46
that's great so so how long were you at Groundlings anyway how long I've stayed and your dad was the beginning he
00:13:52
started it with people basically which is amazing he's one of the founders yeah so he was in the the you know the main
00:13:58
or there wasn't a Sunday Show event so yeah he was one of the main uh he was a cast member original one with Paul
00:14:05
Reubens and you know oh wow the Apple doesn't fall too far from the tree
00:14:10
[Laughter] so he was there he he uh I'm trying to
00:14:16
think who else uh Laurie Newman and uh you know both oh wow that cast I think
00:14:22
and uh that's what inspired me and he's passed away but you did all the sticky
00:14:28
stuff he was actually in a class that Jerry Lewis taught once in the 50s wow
00:14:34
so your dad is doing all this and then you're a little kid and so you're being exposed to Comedy
00:14:42
constantly as a little kid he watched a lot of old movies I mean you guys probably have the same thing you no you
00:14:48
were educated someplace somewhere of some sort of inspiration and no she was what inspired me I don't know what what
00:14:55
inspired you Dana I mean you must have like were you in doing to the mirror kind of thing alone in a jail cell it
00:15:01
was yeah well there were five kids four boys five kids and uh yeah I kind
00:15:09
of had a dream of it Black Ice by the time I was eight nine or ten of just being one of those guys on TV I didn't
00:15:16
think movies or even Saturday Night Live it was just Danny Kaye or you know I don't know Smothers Brothers so I had a
00:15:23
secret dream but I went into cross country and track I never took theater I was a busboy then a waiter and I finally
00:15:30
got in on courage and had years of stage fright like little physical manifestations of trying to do stand up
00:15:37
so that's how I got into it but my dad was a high school teacher and my mom was a preschool teacher but it's interesting
00:15:44
to have a dad who specifically yes is a comedy sketch WonderCon well it's probably high
00:15:51
pressure because they judge you think they're judging are you any good and you're probably not that good my dad was
00:15:58
kind of funny like dads are and so I'm trying to make him laugh and my comedy
00:16:04
sort of gets shaped by what he thinks is funny but he took me to Young Frankenstein he took me to some movies
00:16:09
that he thought was funny and it kind of made me go oh is that you know you're
00:16:16
gonna be a student of your dad's comedy in a weird way indirectly what he laughs
00:16:21
at he watched Mash that was kind of dry I like that and so that actually helped
00:16:26
if he was a super cornball it might have thrown me well you taught me about I
00:16:31
mean you kind of like introduced me to dry humor I mean there was other dry comedians but you they were like the
00:16:40
[ __ ] I mean wow you just totally stamped
00:16:45
sarcasm on television like to the ultimate level and it was like really
00:16:51
cool to see I remember that because I was like brought up like uh my dad would show me older things
00:16:57
like old Hollywood you know like the chop them and keep them in the Marx Brothers not just a lot of physicality
00:17:02
yeah but also banter like bits you know March Brothers yeah yeah well but older
00:17:09
Hollywood too like the black and white you know stuff in the 40s and the 50s and that stuff yeah
00:17:17
I love the team stuff stuff between one person and another and I thought
00:17:23
connection and that kind of thing was really cool to see and that's what really inspired me too like you had that
00:17:30
with barley too and uh you know that was really cool to see you know it's funny I
00:17:36
I was thinking of Farley today because one time I know you have sort of we both have neck troubles sometimes I think
00:17:41
yours pretty bad too uh yours is probably worse at this point uh to be honest um but I was doing a motivational
00:17:47
speaker maybe yours is better I don't know I'm not saying that to be negative I'm just saying I know you've had some trouble oh no I know and uh I I'm gonna
00:17:55
text you I did a motivational speaker and I uh and he picked me up and he dropped me like backwards through a
00:18:00
table and it's and it yeah [ __ ] hurt and I rolled off and he goes you acted
00:18:06
like you were hurt at the end it ruined it I go we're already at Commercial and it did hurt I I had a I had a few
00:18:12
thousand pound oxfall on me you know what Chris Farley throwing you around that sounds good
00:18:19
can we do some jokes do I have to be anyway it was funny that then I got up
00:18:26
and I was like ow but my neck had been bad the whole time yeah I separated my
00:18:31
shoulder it's it it's uh bothers me to this day but it's very functional on SNL
00:18:36
doing a pra us I really was stupid to do it it was over in ottoman doing like a
00:18:42
Dick Van Dyke type thing but I was down Quail just went over and crunched it and
00:18:47
because I don't know maybe my childhood was pretty rough I went I did like two more then I was walking around with my
00:18:53
shoulder up and Mary Tyler Moore was the host and her husband was there he's a doctor who goes and I think you
00:18:58
separated your shoulder so but it's non-surgical and the next night I had to do all these quick changes but anyway
00:19:04
you know you get hurt in Show Business did they pop it in no they didn't pop it in it's got I got a bump but I I work it
00:19:10
a lot I keep it Loose I broke uh my ankle on a Sandler movie too but but that's fine we don't want to listen to
00:19:16
this go on Wow were you uh I I got to a place where I
00:19:22
was like you know used to the pain but I like a trooper like a you
00:19:27
know football guy you know I was like I just got to keep going gotta go with it you know yeah the rest of the pain and I
00:19:35
tell somebody you know and like I don't wanna I did tell somebody but I was just so like embarrassed by it yeah well it's
00:19:41
also what you don't want instinctually because I had the bypass when I was 42. you don't want
00:19:47
some people like to be pitied I find it an uncomfortable emotion of this sort of
00:19:52
like yeah oh Chris right so I I do understand the idea of like let's just
00:19:57
not make this become my trademark or how people see me right and so for years I
00:20:03
had that yeah yeah do you feel okay today you know that well-intended people
00:20:09
by the way but you know I do that when I'm on a movie and they go Spade's got a bad neck and then by the time
00:20:15
it gets around the crew they're like you have to go up on this uh this step of this ladder it's about six inches up do
00:20:22
you need help should we get your guy in here to do it and I go I can step up a step okay you don't have to do anything
00:20:28
we'll bring your stunt man in we'll bring him in for the day my stuntman was literally in the wings at all times smoking going I think I should do this
00:20:35
one I'm like it's just shaking hands of somebody's like you know we don't need you to throw your shoulder out because you're the biggest [ __ ] in America
00:20:42
did you did your stunt man look like you he sort of does I think I still have the same one I think I'm starting like older
00:20:48
than them so much we have to get a new one uh like it's over and over with me but we had a good one and they love
00:20:55
doing stunts man it's so funny on movies they just I didn't realize so later they get paid per stunt so if they look at
00:21:02
the Monitor and everyone because I liked it you wanna do it again they go yeah and I go oh he wants to do it again and
00:21:07
I real the stuntman once said the head of it goes uh coordinator goes he's never gonna say no he gets paid every
00:21:12
time so he'll break his neck he doesn't care he just has to keep doing it so I said oh let's not put them through it
00:21:18
but it's like bike wipeouts are falling off a cliff and you go they love it they're good at it
00:21:24
well sometimes they love it I've got to say I don't know if they love it but tough job
00:21:30
I had a guy tap out I had a stunt guy I had to go into a big barrel of of ice
00:21:35
cold goo like submerged six feet under so you couldn't see or hear every
00:21:40
orifice was full and he literally came up and he'd done other stunts and then
00:21:45
he he kind of had a panic attack so I was with Anthony Hopkins so I had to go get in the goo and uh that's where my
00:21:53
childhood kicked in I didn't like it but [ __ ] it I'll just do it you know doesn't that thing happens to his own stunts
00:21:58
that's what I hear are you talking about Tony oh gross uh Anthony Hopkins and I I call
00:22:06
him tone yeah I called him hoppy by the end but we're not it's not a competition listen I uh he bonded over our mutual uh
00:22:15
crazy fathers and then the last day of shooting he goes he kind of sounded like Rob Williams he's so uh charismatic just
00:22:22
bizarre in a chair oh do you want to come in my trailer for lunch so I'm like yeah that'd be great but then a woman
00:22:29
from Entertainment Tonight was there and says well you're scheduled to do this interview and she started crying so I
00:22:34
cancel it then his assistant it was the last day of shooting she said that was the first time Tony ever invited someone
00:22:40
into his trailer and you [ __ ] him over but my Entertainment Tonight segment apparently was great I'm gonna look at
00:22:47
that regrets but I love Entertainment Tonight I was such a I remember can you do the theme theme song Jody Watley Jody
00:22:54
Watley oh yeah what's his name did the theme music do it Tesh
00:23:03
hey Chris Katan when you did um alien Gonzalez would they let you do that
00:23:09
again today you think whoops cancel well I'm I ironically I'm
00:23:15
doing an alien Gonzalez uh film are you doing a docu-series for Apple TV yes
00:23:22
no can you give me a can you even tell me a little bit of how he talked
00:23:29
we just want to see what the sensor probably because the algorithm will shut it down the algorithm will shut it down
00:23:34
if it's well picture uh picture of some child uh talk Talking softly that's it
00:23:41
okay and you did on the show I think you did it right yeah I did and uh that's so funny and then right now I love that you
00:23:47
brought that up well I did Ching change if they ever find that I'm done no but
00:23:52
they because we're thinking that there's a lot of stuff where you do something on the show back then
00:23:58
like I asked Timmy Meadows could you play a woman now in the show and he said I don't know
00:24:05
so like if could you play a Mexican-American on a show today and I don't know if they'd let you
00:24:11
do that uh probably not I did it Antonio Banderas and I don't think that was uh
00:24:16
oh yeah that was I don't know if I could do on Twitter vendors now but I I don't know um I do sometimes for fun if I'm doing
00:24:23
stand-up I love to do Al Pacino from Scarface but the way I set it up I go
00:24:28
I'm doing Al Pacino's really bizarre Cuban accent blame Al Pacino well I I
00:24:34
say it's one of my favorite performances but it's it's so abstracted you know
00:24:42
I don't know when I might be cancelable but you know I definitely am down to
00:24:47
Western Europe pretty much Scandinavian accents right but other the rest of the world is off base Australian we can
00:24:54
still do Australia you could do a cowboy can't you just uh what I mean just a
00:25:00
cowboy like John Wayne or something yeah well come on kitten halfway up limit
00:25:07
[Music] I just love that you're still doing great impressions even though you're not
00:25:13
on SNL anymore I mean you know what I mean like it's just like they're so good at it but you're still aware and you're
00:25:19
like you're so good at impre I used to like go out with this girl and she was like obsessed with you and we were like
00:25:25
I then became obsessed with you because of your characters it was like what is he gonna be in a cold opening what's the
00:25:31
cold opening yeah is he going to be in cold opening you know it's all like you know and he had this thank you you know
00:25:37
you were doing cold openings for years you know I've seen him do stand-up actually Dana the guy that booked me
00:25:44
at this thing this weekend he goes I booked Dana and Don Henley at that gig that I came to oh yeah and uh Dana kills
00:25:52
he does these private functions sometimes we all I mean Chris too we all do these private things and no one sees
00:25:58
them but Dana goes out there in his 18 different presidents and he does all these Impressions and it [ __ ] kills
00:26:05
and then I go up there and I go yeah hey dogs are funny and everyone's like dogs what is he talking about they don't relate to me at all well it's basically
00:26:13
and I it's doing sketches as a stand-up so when it works it works but in a big
00:26:19
room and if you have great jokes like Dennis Miller or you they will carry over I mean Chris and I did one of the
00:26:26
weirdest gigs in in Laughlin Nevada and it was like breaking light in the afternoon with sun in your eyes oh you
00:26:33
guys I love it a giant 3000 seater with maybe 100 people and wind you know and
00:26:40
I'm going this is just impossible and I'm kind of doing these little character characters you know and it's like you
00:26:46
know but um but thank you Chris that's very nice yeah that's what was happening it's not like
00:26:53
me it's like that's what was going on in comedy hey Chris I have a question it's not about yourself that crummy gig you
00:26:59
just did with Dana um this is about by the way that's the gig I probably auditioned for and didn't
00:27:05
get you you auditioned for stand-up I auditioned for your guys to stand up over there David's Dead new nickname is
00:27:11
self-depreci it's not carrying his fight no I did gigs this weekend I don't know when this will Air probably in 2028 but
00:27:19
I did a gig this weekend and uh there's so many different types of corporate gigs that are so funny to do because
00:27:25
most of them are hard most of them you do medium at best it's very hard to kill
00:27:32
because you're usually going on in between the cord on blue and oh yeah people are eating and clanking and
00:27:39
they're almost you were you were they you feel like they were told right before do not connect eyes with the
00:27:45
comedian always look away and talk about something else while he's on stage because you're on stage going out of
00:27:51
your [ __ ] mind they're like crap out there they're all chuffing in the background you go it's so funny but
00:27:57
anyway I I did a gun I did a gun show once they all got these Big Steaks it
00:28:02
was in Reno yeah and now ladies and Gentlemen The Comedy Shenanigans of Dana flarfo and they just they just have the
00:28:08
fork and knife their elbows are way out their backs are to me and they're just chowing down every once in a while they
00:28:15
would look over their neck and kind of noddle a bit and they're like why is this guy so noisy behind me I can't show
00:28:21
and it was like it was uh I don't know it was in Colorado and it was there was
00:28:26
an elevation situation so you know when people were drinking that one drink is equivalent like three drinks so
00:28:32
everybody was way stronger awesome they were just like and there was one girl in
00:28:38
the front row was like no he's arguing with a boyfriend while I was on like no
00:28:45
you don't you tell them how about you great no well it was like
00:28:53
am I involved in something that I just how can I be involved in something that I'm not I don't even know who you are I
00:29:01
was thinking that but you know they're like no I'm gonna say you can't say anyway and um but it gave me probably
00:29:07
you know it gave me some material by the way did you do a commercial was it the what is love yeah and that was a
00:29:14
commercial with the Super Bowl it was a Super Bowl those are nice yeah that was fun and it
00:29:21
was other people doing it right to it it was yes it was uh
00:29:27
uh uh oh God what was her Missy Elliott and uh somebody else and then they said oh
00:29:34
this is a really big budget so they literally went to other countries to see people Bop their heads oh that's good
00:29:41
like that like people in the pan you know are penguins in Alaska were bopping
00:29:47
their heads it was like penguins are expensive like weeks to shoot did you can you still do it does it hurt your head
00:29:52
no I didn't where did that come from Chris that that uh sketch and then movie
00:29:57
with with will we're in the growlings and will worked at Butterfield and Butterfield and I remember that I saw
00:30:04
him and uh we were like joined at the hips like all the time we would do we
00:30:09
would do uh like uh temp jobs one time he was an elf oh no I was an elephant he
00:30:15
was Santa and we're like walking around and really all these things that seem like sketches
00:30:21
pretty much that's funny we live like sketches so this is the early 90s before
00:30:26
you got on or late 80s early 90s no it was like 94. so you guys were still not making a
00:30:33
living being funny at that point you had to do these what no not at all we were like making you know it was like
00:30:39
unemployment or like whatever you know unemployment and whatever you got but he met his wife at Butterfield and
00:30:45
Butterfield actually Vivica so that's a good thing so I Met Myself And whatever
00:30:50
play with myself anyway so I we went to a bar and we saw a guy at the bar alone
00:30:57
and he was like just doing the thing to the it was all like he's pointing at the
00:31:04
pointing at a girl pointing back at himself pointing at a girl yeah he literally turned he got a drink at the bar he was like this and then he turned
00:31:10
two you know yes to the dance floor he was like you know do you want you want
00:31:16
me to dance yeah yeah yeah do you want you don't you know okay that's that's fine whatever so that was basically it
00:31:22
and we're like God that guy is so pathetic you know what it's very hard to take a
00:31:29
funny scene like that where you know it's funny and you gotta figure out I mean you guys it was sort of just doing
00:31:35
that but I've seen scenes in life that I go that's so funny and it's to transfer
00:31:41
that into a sketch you can [ __ ] ruin it you can do it wrong and you go God
00:31:46
what did I do wrong here because I know it's good I just am not adapting it
00:31:51
perfectly for what it should be something but you got the music right you got the look right it was a funny
00:31:57
hook the song was perfect and did in the sketch did they did they talk or no on
00:32:03
no originally they weren't meant to talk it was just music over it yeah but they it just so how how long were they how
00:32:09
long were those sketches in you had no no verbal comedy it was all physical uh well we would go when Jim Carrey came on
00:32:16
and that was Fred Wolf's idea to add a third guy hey David hey Chris hey
00:32:28
that's good you're not so good no that's funny that's not so funny you'd always walk around with a cigarette behind his
00:32:33
ear but he never smoked it hey Chris I don't smoke but uh I just can I talk to you after uh Chris first of all you're so you're so good it was so good you're
00:32:40
so [ __ ] funny that no it's just it's really it's really really funny I'm not just saying this I'm not just saying
00:32:45
this really funny you were good you're not so good anyway no it doesn't really matter I tell Dana all the time Dana Dana's the funniest I'm sorry I told
00:32:51
Dana I told Danny's bunnies but yeah no no no no well yeah yeah I know
00:33:00
you would never do something in my movie you would never I mean you're stupid there's no way there's something and you
00:33:06
don't know do you still know um this is like the greatest thing I've ever heard it really is really is I'm sorry I just
00:33:12
wanted to join in the party I was thinking about the thing you said the other night it's the funniest thing I ever heard that's funny if I write that
00:33:19
up can I write that up it's the funnest thing I've ever seen funniest thing I've ever seen all Fred will folks no I'm not just saying this
00:33:25
Lauren said it was the funniest thing he's ever seen not just saying that you know anyway uh Chris so so yeah I
00:33:32
remember one with Sherry or Terry getting smashed in the middle and what was Jim Carrey just doing it with you guys that must have been a monster one I
00:33:37
think I remember that I do remember that yeah that was the kind of that was the sketch that kind of you know took off
00:33:42
that I was listening to that kind of music like techno music I was I don't
00:33:47
know why I liked it but will was like you take care of the songs because I don't know anything about that we're strange kind of music you're like I just
00:33:55
all you need is one winner like that that's one [ __ ] song it works yeah did you guys so you did a commercial
00:34:01
that one did you ever do was there talk of them did you do a movie of that you did night at Roxbury night at the Rock
00:34:07
story absolutely and that's why you decided how they would talk and how did they I mean just they were kind of we
00:34:14
just sat in a in a room in front of John Baldwin and we were like he's like so what do they sound like who by the way
00:34:20
has a lot of energy I think he still does probably probably yeah and uh very sweet guys yeah so what do they sound
00:34:26
like and we well and I were like we don't uh we're not ready for this you could [ __ ] it up because you could
00:34:33
go bye guys sounds like this and everyone's like oh yeah well anyway yeah
00:34:38
what are we doing yeah no I thought they would be sort of Eastern European for some reason wait we no that that was
00:34:45
later we were like do we decide we have to decide because we're writing a script now like where are they from we don't
00:34:51
know anything and somebody said like they're from you know the Brooklyn they're like no they're from Beverly
00:34:57
Hills and now they're Eastern European you know and Steve corn was the writer too as well
00:35:03
when we sat in front of gold and we're like What did we say so we went was up and he and what went what's up
00:35:11
and bowling was like I love it so that was it I love it
00:35:18
well corn wrote the movie with you and will uh yeah we would be at the fourth Seasons while we were doing Lauren gave
00:35:25
us a room at the Four Seasons to write after we wrote sketches at SNL uh so we
00:35:31
wrote the script while doing the show which probably happened a lot and then you go to the Four Seasons in New York
00:35:37
this was in New York yeah and then when we had a week off we'd go to Paramount and we go in Lauren's office and uh your
00:35:44
old friend Aaron was there and she like just say Okay she'd open up the place and we'd go right there and Lauren's
00:35:50
like I'm over here now uh you saw me in New York now I'm in L.A
00:35:56
yeah but he uh his office used to be it was like when he got that opposite
00:36:02
Paramount or got it again because he did Black Sheep with you already did Tommy Boy and then dude Wayne's World with you
00:36:08
Dana and then uh he would refer to those all the time obviously because that was his Paramount stuff and they did so well
00:36:14
and people loved it but yeah we got that office and he would it used to be Crocodile Dundee's office so they're
00:36:20
taking off the Crocodile Dundee posters I'm putting up the Lorne movies like
00:36:27
boneheads and Three Amigos that's not a noise Lauren's got some hits over there [ __ ]
00:36:34
yeah oh of course [Music]
00:36:41
what was the great one with your brain when the dog was he smells my dog massive head wound Harry yes my God what
00:36:49
a great [ __ ] ahead and I wish you would show a clip of that that was the dog you know I was just writing great
00:36:54
writing and I was just like walking through but the dog they put I guess it was like Gerber's baby food or something
00:37:01
on this prosthetic skull I had to make them lick it right they put a little bit at dress he went well he was born yeah I
00:37:09
know and I had a I had a Lucille Ball moment where it's like okay do I hold the wig on right or do I let the wig go
00:37:16
off but I just thought oh the sketch is going so good I'll hold the wig on so it won't become about that maybe it was the
00:37:22
bad choice but when a dog goes crazy the audience goes and you go he smells my
00:37:27
dog or something yeah yeah but he yeah he says he smells my dog and but he was literally pulling the thing off yeah
00:37:34
yeah so genius about it like it was such a struggle
00:37:50
so funny that's a genius who put that on there did you guys ever have a sketch with an animal uh during your time there
00:37:57
I I don't remember I don't remember I think I had him there was a real monkey
00:38:02
and a Mr peeper's thing but we didn't touch it without the same monkey that Mike used
00:38:09
for sprockets they just had one monkey that they yeah that was the one it was under Lauren's desk we're ready to go
00:38:15
anytime oh sprockets monkey just waiting at the station for the call in his
00:38:20
dressing room yeah exactly what about it oh you did Dancing with the Stars too is it was it too hard I thought about that
00:38:26
show and I go I would collapse so quickly yeah that's a good thing to bring up uh let's dance with the stars
00:38:33
yeah so I was on Dancing With the Stars and uh yeah it was it's amazing how much those dancers are like they were so
00:38:41
trained I mean yeah so good they're so good and they're so
00:38:49
motivated and they give you like caveats like you get more money if you stay a week or you get or they get more money
00:38:55
something because and they want you to have followers you want people to call in so those kind of shows incorporate
00:39:00
everything that helps them and it's actually helps you too but those shows seem so hard uh because just regular I
00:39:09
think the training they're so tough about they do not want you it's an all-day event they're just like the more
00:39:14
you train the better you're gonna win you're like I know but I'm [ __ ] lazy I don't want to do this all day
00:39:20
yeah I wasn't lazy I was in it but it was just hard and they were like make me do moves that I'm like I don't know how
00:39:27
to do that and they're like I was kind of like and you may be like a situated so it's like more about not more about
00:39:33
like easier for me so I could just do a couple moves yeah they trick it to where they look like you're doing a lot but
00:39:40
you're really not doing that much hopefully yeah it's like I can't spin like that and like there's like Simone
00:39:46
biles like I mean these incredible moves and she's like a gymnast I'm like I can't speak for that you know and she
00:39:53
was like the same one I would I would just quit yeah yeah it's yeah she was incredible and like the background had
00:40:00
fire going on I'm like mine's has like a little little snow sparklers we should
00:40:06
we should do a good show sketch comedy with the dancers and bring them out go come on I hit that line no slow down
00:40:11
yeah you're my you're mugging you're mugging just a spray tan budget a lot I
00:40:18
mean that it is fun show to watch everyone gets in everyone's good looking all the guys all the girls it's
00:40:24
unbelievable but it's turned into such a Biz over there everything about it yeah
00:40:29
it was very I did learn a lot about followers I remember because I was with Whitney Carson she's like you gotta go
00:40:35
you gotta get these followers here I'm like oh is that what's going on I did not know that was an important thing I
00:40:41
learned a lot about Vicodin well I mean when you get sore I get sore just going to the mailbox so uh I go up
00:40:47
time for a Vicodin I wouldn't do it but I just picked up a kettlebell oh you you
00:40:54

00:41:01
take the edge off no it'll die cut I was taking a Gabapentin was the thing that they did yes never even heard of that
00:41:09

00:41:15
