Michael how long was your run with Phil
00:00:02
was it your whole time there it was
00:00:04
there for five or this years that I was
00:00:06
there
00:00:07
he left in my last year I believe he was
00:00:10
in So I Married an Ax Murderer which was
00:00:12
fun and uh just brilliant in it and he
00:00:15
did what Phil always did with anything
00:00:17
which is make it better than written yes
00:00:19
you know he always brought stuff off the
00:00:21
page and and he was also very
00:00:24
if you were one of the more experienced
00:00:29
um ivy league writers
00:00:30
or if you're a dumb kid from Toronto uh
00:00:33
he sold your sketch you know what I mean
00:00:36
and I always made it better than written
00:00:37
yeah I never would never walk through no
00:00:41
no he always tried to make something fun
00:00:42
and he was always prepared he's the most
00:00:44
prepared performer I've ever met in my
00:00:46
life
00:00:46
he had this old I saw him he had a
00:00:49
binder with with color coding like how
00:00:52
musicians have notes he would go a
00:00:54
little bit of Charlton Heston plus a
00:00:56
little bit of this
00:00:57
it was color-coded I caught him huh and
00:01:01
I caught him that's great too he had the
00:01:04
best instrument of any uh comedic actor
00:01:08
I've ever met his voice and his body was
00:01:12
unbelievable and uh Peter Sellers like
00:01:15
in my opinion and Alec Guinness like and
00:01:19
uh just one of those
00:01:22
um
00:01:23
I thought he was a very good writer and
00:01:26
I thought he was
00:01:27
one of the best interpreters of things
00:01:30
written
00:01:31
and bad cold reader whatever in my life
