00:00:00
okay Dana I just want to tell you quickly uh for the people listening that before you hear Kyle he does mention Bud
00:00:06
Friedman a lot of us do but Friedman's a huge influence he owns The Improv if you don't know New York La uh
00:00:14
and he passed away uh since we did Kyle a little bit ago so I just want to say
00:00:20
quickly Bud was you know I could over talk about it under I'll just say he was a huge huge
00:00:27
reason he was like the first Lorne I think Danny you said that it was a guy that you know if you get into the Improv
00:00:34
Mitzi was at the comedy store she didn't like me bud like me got me up and I had
00:00:40
a great run doing all these clubs working in the LA one I worked the LA one last week so a huge thank you and uh
00:00:48
a sad day uh about that but Bud was was a great great and he's great for
00:00:54
comedians I would just say you know the same thing like Lauren bud love comedians loved us
00:01:02
and it was very nice to me I couldn't get out of the comedy store either which is sort of a scary weird place back then
00:01:08
and Bud was friendly he was old-fashioned in a way uh as people know he had a monocle he had some sort of
00:01:15
weird Cadence of talking I don't know where it came from but Take It Outside how are you Psy but he gave me great
00:01:22
spots and he was very encouraging and he was somebody he passed away at 90. he
00:01:28
looked 60 when he was 40 but when he was 80 he still looked 60. I mean he he
00:01:33
didn't age for decades I would see him from time to time and go man he looks exactly
00:01:38
stay out of the aisles he was like this with the monocle and that Cadence he's
00:01:44
like this gentleman yeah and just a sense of decorum of like now I was starting the show everybody ready yeah
00:01:51
and uh you know you don't see a lot of Monicals anymore I feel like he might be the last guy well I was there when he
00:01:57
had you know regular glasses really yeah comedian got mad it was drunk and punched him and goes it doesn't matter
00:02:03
I'll just use this pot and that's how the I made that up and you go but you never got it fixed he goes
00:02:09
yeah the monocle was only Colonel Klink and Hogan's Heroes going back to the
00:02:14
1960s he had a monocle and then Bud yeah but there's no one no one does a monocle
00:02:19
you know my what is my friend is a comedian in Arizona uh Mike Sterner says
00:02:25
his his friend is Japanese optometrist and every December
00:02:31
7th he attacks the Pearle Vision Center there you go that's not my joke but I
00:02:38
like it hey I like anything where it's just it's just such a joke that's a good
00:02:44
joke okay but but let me listen Bud was great laughed at everybody a community
00:02:50
created an amazing Legacy that continues to this day with improv uh comedy clubs
00:02:56
all over yeah great great guy great laugher and uh anyway enjoy our podcast
00:03:06
okay Dana before I get to Kyle done again I have to tell you I have to get a plug-in
00:03:11
what I get I bought this at the gas station and I used to like this it says mild right so I use it twice I've been
00:03:18
tricked this is an anti-commercial no because it's so goddamn spicy and
00:03:24
what if there's mild and there's medium and there's hot which one do you think wouldn't be spicy mild and even when I
00:03:31
get it once I get the biggest [ __ ] why do you have mild I go because I just wanted like the idea of it I don't really want to burn up and oh my God I
00:03:38
was my burrito I was ripping it apart going what in here I'm blaming the burrito is so hot it's that and then
00:03:46
look at the back it says you know I see the word jalapeno that's all I need to see that's all I need to see I go why
00:03:51
why would it be so hot and this isn't your fault I have a lot of free time but I was so mad last night and then I
00:03:57
called Heather and I yelled at her about it um but is the best that's mild Cholula
00:04:03
has to do a bottle on the next podcast no it can't be anything it just has to be red food coloring well how about
00:04:10
ketchup old-fashioned that's basically if give me ketchup with three pieces of an onion in that mix all right Kyle
00:04:16
Dunnigan is one of my really good buddies is a sweetheart and we uh we talked to
00:04:25
him because we're talking to more comedians because when I'm out with these Comics especially ones I like and
00:04:31
they're heavily influenced by SNL they grew up on it obviously they love Dana they like all the people we've been
00:04:36
talking to and they share their stories with me and some had auditions Kyle had a big audition for us now the seminal
00:04:44
audition in 2008 which Bobby Moynihan was at and Nick Kroll and Kyle his story
00:04:51
about his audition process at the time being a brilliant comedian and impressionist a natural for SNL and what
00:04:59
happens is very dramatic but he's he's organically very very funny throughout
00:05:06
this this talk and some of these talks with these people are just straight up just laughs you know we're just talking
00:05:11
about SNL we're talking about yeah he does Impressions he mixes them and Dana does them and those are the kind just
00:05:18
different type of shows and that that's what this type of show is so it's it's you know again just a human story
00:05:24
about someone trying to get on SNL and what happens so it's it's kind of
00:05:29
riveting actually and then like the before during and after like yeah when you don't get it what it's like and we
00:05:35
don't have a lot of those because everyone has it everyone got it yeah and he landed on his feet he has a huge YouTube channel

00:10:42

what Tony wants and he wants me to do Biden on a big screen no one sees me they just keep Biden but he's gonna
00:13:01
introduce me as the President of the United States is here and I was a little worried because he
00:13:07
that could happen he could zoom in the present he's met all the presents so I said to them I'm a little worried
00:13:12
they're gonna be disappointed when they see me and they were just like this is what 20 wants this is a cult you don't tell what
00:13:17
this is what we do but yeah I did the same kind of gig yeah I want to hear it I want to hear yours because I'm sure
00:13:23
yours is better than no everything is ringing true to me okay but I love Tony tell when they play they play like a
00:13:30
videotape before yes so well there's actually two things a
00:13:35
montage right yeah I'm making the story way too long but no it was like not on fly right right over here I Googled Tony
00:13:43

00:13:49
Extravaganza with all these Stars just like Tony are the best he's bawling crying his wife's like I love you honey
00:13:56
it was a good sticks together you know so I felt even more pressure this is the
00:14:01
next oh yeah so um I get there and he's like thanks for doing this you a little hunk of crap and
00:14:08
he whacks me on the back and everybody's super jazzed up but they've been up
00:14:13
since like five in the morning you know sharks going this is a lot of corporate
00:14:19
gigs where they beat him to death his entertainment they're like yeah it's like raw right go we can win they have
00:14:26
dancers come out you probably saw this after everything mine was on Zoom was on Zoom oh yeah see
00:14:33
that was smart well I was there I flew down to West uh Palm Beach he wanted me to find
00:14:39
undisclosed location so anyway so what what how does this story
00:14:44
I could do Tony Robbins for the first last hour yeah and then we'll do McCartney for the second half hour he's
00:14:49
at a trampoline and I jumped on that beforehand trying to get pumped out and um so the guy before me was uh the
00:14:56
Secretary of Defense former Secretary of Defense uh Larry sumners and he just
00:15:01
talked like this he went over an hour and a half Economist it's like midnight now yeah and uh Tony goes are you ready
00:15:10
for the surprise of your life and they're like yeah and they're like have I ever disappointed you they're like no
00:15:15
you would never tested by the house and then he goes and then and then someone goes like blah
00:15:21
blah there's a pause he'd forgot to play the package they made this minute package video of him with presidents oh
00:15:28
okay so now that plays for like okay no yeah the president states that go
00:15:33
nuts then they play the package then he reintroduces me because he introduced me before he did it wrong but now it really
00:15:39
feels like for sure the president because he's in the video they said he's shaking hands with Obama yeah so they
00:15:46
really think Biden's coming oh they hundred percent oh and there's no way he would [ __ ] us over and have some [ __ ]
00:15:51
yeah exactly so I'm sitting backstage like oh no it's the nightmare I imagine
00:15:57
so then I pop up on the screen and you hear this Audible
00:16:02
and I'm like hey it's Tony baloney's birthday I bring your guy come on man
00:16:11
really God that's so unusual nothing from them because they're angry yeah and
00:16:17
I think they don't even know if it's a joke and they're just staring and I'm in my head I'm going this is my this is the funniest thing and I've got another 25
00:16:23

00:23:46
doing I don't know when you're doing it in the house you've got green screens and face swap and all these computer things you have graphics and I edit it

it's tougher to make there's just some ways it's hard to make money no matter how good you are just hard to get on
00:24:34
YouTube and that [ __ ] it's hard to crank out sketch like they do SNL's got there's probably two sketches a week
00:24:40
that are well they write about 50 55 in 24 hours and two are good and they take
00:24:46
two weeks off every two weeks yeah it's just like it's like bass player you know sometimes three Kyle oh is it three

00:26:11
did you write for that show I did actually that was a show I was writing and then I had uh I was like I have to
00:26:18
get out of here it was a great job but I just felt like I was writing too much for other people and I wanted to you
00:26:24
know perform amazing I started making I actually during that writing thing I figured out how to
00:26:30
um do the face swaps so it was a FaceTime call so they could talk to each other and that was like a big
00:26:37
um just like I was doing invitations of the writers in the room and they liked it then I started doing it online that's kind of what what year was that how long
00:26:43
have you been doing uh 2016 or 1617 and so okay well early on will tell us when
00:26:49
you you probably were into SNL because all
00:26:55
we all were yeah and um but you did did you finally get an audition or was it one or was it you were trying to get an
00:27:03
audition like uh yeah I didn't know what to do yeah big fan of SNL Dana's been
00:27:09
huge influence we've talked about that uh but uh yeah well maybe we could talk
00:27:14
about just a little bit we can talk a little bit I don't know three sentences I'll comment David though because I was an extra uh when I was this is the worst
00:27:22
no you had left like the year before and being let me just go back but but
00:27:28
but David oh we're gonna dog hear that one yeah yeah David um [ __ ] you you could see in the
00:27:35
monitors what was going on in rehearsal you could hear it and I was like oh David's the funniest one
00:27:42
yeah I don't remember what you're doing and then when the air show came he would freeze up a little bit
00:27:51
yeah David was the always the funniest so funny very very low rehearsal show you
00:27:57
yeah I mean rehearsal I didn't know back then they were probably taping him but you're just bullshitting with your
00:28:03
friends saying by the way anything forgetting you're on camera but when Kyle was there yeah we were doing
00:28:09
happened to be one of my favorite ones ever which was the Gap girls lay off of stars lay off me I'm starving and Kyle
00:28:16
Not only was he there he was a uh extra ooh and they put him in the Gap girl
00:28:24
sketch and they put him in a Primo spot of behind us so you were just on camera
00:28:31
with no lines throughout this year yeah and I'm just right next to Chris Farley I'm like this is probably my big break I'm not sure that's just not sure but
00:28:39
we're about to go out and David comes already like uh yeah this is my friend whoever what's this uh my buddy was
00:28:46
visiting from Arizona and I never know yeah and I [ __ ] go can he be in this
00:28:53
[ __ ] yeah and I go Rick why don't you sit here and they pulled Kyle out yeah well they flipped me so like it'll get
00:28:58
you the back of your head Kyle and uh my friend will get the uh and then he became famous off that he he got a deal
00:29:04
off that extra work can I ask the question about this like when just for a second because I don't know that that
00:29:11
part of you like when did you start being a comedian uh you know trying to be professional
00:29:16
did you go it was your first stand up at 18 or were you doing little shows for your parents when you're 10 or we have
00:29:22
all different when I was younger I I didn't uh I remember being laughed at
00:29:27
but not like me trying to be funny but like humiliating things just in school yeah yeah I think my very first memory
00:29:34
was my whole family laughing I mean my my grandmother was like I was like what's this Nana it was a place mat we
00:29:41
got like a choo-choo place and she goes oh you eat on that and my little brain was like eat on it didn't make sense but
00:29:48
eat it made sense like I think I'd skip that little word so I started eating it
00:29:54
and I came in I was trying to eat that and this first memories everyone like ha and then I got an idiot yeah and people
00:30:01
would laugh at me but I wasn't trying to be funny I was little I think we're like three little guys right yeah three of us
00:30:07
were like little what was your height and weight when you entered High School uh I know all I know is the tiniest
00:30:13
except my friend Michael was like a half inch and I love because when they line it up it was like Michael year on the
00:30:18
end I would but I was always number two but I remember they had superlatives where they go you know best looking mostly succeed and the popular girls
00:30:25
come up to me they never talk to me and they were like we decided you're the funniest whoa hey it was like eighth
00:30:33
grade it was like 12 years old so before school you know what I say to that I go you hungry and they go
00:30:39
and I go you go it's early I'm gonna ask you again but I didn't really know or think I was funny and then
00:30:46
the lobby of the before you go to school there's like a Lobby and everyone hangs out that was big terrifying yeah Junior
00:30:52
High right right and this big the big bully Scott Chapman comes up to me pushes me and he goes you're not funny
00:30:57
whoa the word got out that I was gonna be the funniest and he wanted to be the funny guy and I was like yeah okay I don't I don't I think you're right beat
00:31:04
the funny out of it yeah yeah and he goes I'm funnier than you now everyone starts gathering around us
00:31:10
yeah yeah is that eight miles so what does he say I backed it I was like you are like
00:31:17
this is hilarious what you're doing so then I got voted Class Clown I got upset
00:31:23
about it because um clown it kind of isn't the same it's not good especially when you're 12 and
00:31:29
you want to be liked by girls and it was like the popular girls I was like oh they look at me like on this like clown so I've my friend was really sweet and
00:31:37
he was intended to do something nice but he went to the principal or whatever and was like Kyle's upset of the clown I
00:31:43
called the clown so they changed it the best person they change it to best personality
00:31:55
did your gift from mimicry emerge at that time could you do the PE coach or
00:32:00
were you doing yeah that actually got me attention from girls I did um uh Mike I did Michael Jackson this
00:32:08
girl I really liked would be like do Michael Jackson so just dance like a monkey and one time she'd cross it off
00:32:14
her shoe Michael Jackson I got hurt personally like we broke up but but did you do the voice or just do
00:32:20
it you would dance I do though the boys in the dance I remember this is a hacking impression now but I saw my
00:32:26
first impression I saw Christopher Walken at our local tiny grocery store Western Connecticut
00:32:31
tiny little thing I'd never seen a famous person before you know so I was following them around like a creep you
00:32:37
know the thing when you go to a grocery store and you're like oh I just want to get like some batteries but then you start going oh I need that I need that
00:32:43
so he had this whole pile of stuff yeah and right before he got to the front he just like janked it all over the floor
00:32:51
and he goes oh no my cottage cheese and the lady was like it's fine and he's
00:32:56
like no no you get quiet and be like I'm sorry he got really loud and that like
00:33:01
bug got me that was like I think one of the first impressions I did but I did Impressions but then I started doing stand-up when I got out
00:33:08
uh to try to make money because there just was no money inside high school out of out of the world of school out of
00:33:14
college and stuff okay so early this morning yeah and my you know managers
00:33:20
are like don't do Impressions and guitar so everything that I do well they I didn't do for 20 years until I found
00:33:26
things they told me not to do that either yeah don't do Impressions don't don't do the churchly but bad advice
00:33:32
that we got yeah later you go what the [ __ ] do you know yeah so then what was your like those years you you got on
00:33:39
shows pretty quickly like Cedric the Entertainer you're a sketch player that was yeah that was um I thought that was
00:33:46
like a big break because I was kind of a hit sketch show and I joined mid-season because like we need a white guy to pick
00:33:51
on and uh before we would do the shows like a
00:33:56
final thing they would do a prayer circle and Cedric you know is very religious and uh but he's holding hands with two
00:34:03
Jewish you know producers and we're just sitting around I would just stare at the Jewish producers because they'd have to be there like
00:34:09
pray please Jesus help these setups land our punch lines and maybe all praying
00:34:16
for Jesus and there was really like a couple of people who believed in Jesus but that was those
00:34:22
I'm not religious no okay yeah no do you have any um re-affiliation with a
00:34:27
political party um uh wait I want to get to some
00:34:34
Impressions too but also oh wait when did you do cruise ships because my buddy does cruise ships he said they're tough my friend was like don't do it'll be
00:34:41
really bad and I was like how did that be bad you know how could that be bad so I go there and
00:34:48
cruise ships three shows a night and it's a free show so everyone goes to the show because it's free they already paid
00:34:54
for it and I'm bombing so hard mostly wheelchairs it was a very old Cruise you hear people leaving this
00:35:00
yeah and then the Walkers after that yeah you buy wd-40s and I got
00:35:08
we love when David does I know he does great he does great sound effects [Music]
00:35:14
underplayed in the world it's out there though yeah but I was famous for being terrible on this ship so I just hidden
00:35:20
my then you go and you're looking over the Lido deck and it was like that guy sucked are you the guy that's horrible so yeah so you bombed the first night I
00:35:27
know I bombed every night no nothing three times three times a night where it was just this awful and then one time
00:35:34
they make you after the show say goodbye to everybody so you bomb and you got a big thank you for coming
00:35:40
yeah so I see this woman good game good covering getting all around me and I'm like oh
00:35:46
here's a fan that's what we'll have to deal with this this is nice and she goes I have to tell you
00:35:52
you look exactly like my dead son my son just died a month ago they were
00:35:59
going to cancel this trip and they really already bought the tickets and the dad won't look at me apparently I look amazingly and sound
00:36:06
like her son who just died so I'm like oh my God I'm so sorry and then I keep running into her because
00:36:14
the ship's not that big at the buffet by the way everywhere and then I went to one bar I'm like oh god there she is
00:36:20
again and she's got the rest of her family and it was like there he is like oh
00:36:26
[Laughter]
00:36:32
no that's him that's him and then she asked me to go rock climbing and trying to be the sun
00:36:39
again yeah and I can't say no to her clock climbing and she's standing she starts calling you Dave Michael or
00:36:45
something she was sort she was sort of having this thing with me and I I had had to do it and I could tell I wasn't
00:36:52
it's a good sitcom as good as her son she was like just climb up look you're not out you're good at this yeah so
00:36:59
she's ordering around like a mom to a son yeah just climb up yeah yeah and just and so you do what you got
00:37:05
terrified and her son I'm sure it was like you're the worst fake son
00:37:10
yeah that was my uh boy that was the week that Obama was uh not Obama that
00:37:16
Bin Laden was uh is that Obama that was my bin Laden my
00:37:22
Obama's not like this that's what you do my mom wants like Obama you know not
00:37:29
Obama um so then when did how did you become a genius are they two different
00:37:34
people I don't know points like like Obama I meant to say Bin Laden oh that
00:37:40
might be sending a racist in there but like I kept saying Obama and Bin Laden but um yeah she just points like a
00:37:46
terrorist is saying their blood will run in the streets my mother's finger gets right and you know your face like that
00:37:52
your mom's in your bit sometimes yeah she's really good actually you tell her what to do or not yeah I actually surprised her because once she knows
00:37:58
she's acting it's over we have to so she'll come on stage no videos
00:38:05
hey Mom let's I'll just start doing something that is she has to improv that's crazy yeah Craig I do Craig
00:38:13
hysterical character thank you yeah all right we'll talk about you know let's go ahead all right oh you think it's your
00:38:19
SNL audition oh yes well we want to get to that we're just creeping up to like how many years of stand up and yeah and
00:38:24
then when do you travel for SNL oh yes and the first time I did stand up actually was in the high schools 20 minutes before but it's like you should
00:38:31
use stand up and I was like okay because I just did what people told me and I wrote a set in 20 minutes and the set
00:38:37
was 20 minutes so I don't know what that must have been very first time music crushes what's that first time usually
00:38:42
crushes pretty good because I was doing teachers and stuff like that but I got
00:38:48
suspended halfway through it it could go wrong oh well so it's so
00:38:54
funny though yeah but the uh halfway through the host this girl was like um
00:38:59
you have to um uh you have to stop uh saying something
00:39:05
about oh you can't say penis or Miss always going to suspend you was the thing and then they were all quiet like what
00:39:11
happened and I was like I'm not allowed to say penis anymore then I started going like my Kill Boss and then I started doing other names then they took
00:39:18
me off Stitch anyway they took you away yeah they took me away in a jacket um yeah but I like when you bump with
00:39:25
the microphone with your chin while you're talking and you hug it like this hugging it he's pumping it so when did
00:39:31
you start crushing and get the notion I want to and I'm highly qualified to be
00:39:38
on Saturday Night Live uh I always wanted like like watching you and stuff I not that I felt like I'd be as good as
00:39:45
you I thought like I can do that kind of thing that's like in my wheelhouse yeah so I really want to do it I love the
00:39:51
show you actually almost stopped me from getting uh from losing my virginity you
00:39:56
it didn't happen but you almost I was coming home from a party and uh
00:40:03
this woman who was this girl she's like 21 was in my Spanish class and she's on a balcony and she goes Kyle done again
00:40:11
get up here just hammered and like we immediately had she's decided we're
00:40:17
having sex and I remember what happened in between but then I was like but I almost didn't go up because I was like I
00:40:23
want to go back and see Dana Carvey because SNL was starting and I almost but I I wish I had because I I didn't
00:40:31
think I got AIDS from this woman I knew I got AIDS from this woman it was back when if you just had unprotected sex you
00:40:37
got AIDS right right when it started to everyone yeah it's everyone's gonna get it
00:40:42
I did and I wish I hadn't I got AIDS from watching Dana once yeah so you
00:40:48
either way yeah about you got me took care of me we give you the shot
00:40:56
you do it accurately I just punt sometimes
00:41:09
talking about um Mickey Rooney yep
00:41:15
um I I heard you do it before but I know it's a true story word for Words yeah what you worked with him on a play no a
00:41:22
TV show one of the boys in 1981 yeah I was cast out of nowhere I was just a young stand-up Fred Silverman the head
00:41:29
of NBC that's Mickey Rooney's grandson then I'm on a 747 with Nathan Lane he was going that's right so we became
00:41:36
friends and then we met Mickey who had a 38 revolver and literally at least once
00:41:42
an hour I was the number one star in the world you hear me bang the world
00:41:49
anyway pulling something yeah he would say things like uh he needed money and he
00:41:56
would I could just die laughing Judy Garland never owned a car it was nonsense why Mickey because they pumped
00:42:04
her so full of drugs that killed her and then he would just look off into space yeah yeah and they asked him for money
00:42:11
and Joe Lewis Joe Lewis and he'd be there stun yesterday he's getting right
00:42:16
up in my face he's about four foot ten he's going like this right to my face Joe Lewis
00:42:21
this fire plug will take you out he referred to himself as a fireplace that
00:42:27
that's another podcast entirely but um when I first met you it was kind of interesting I had dinner with you
00:42:32
because David's very social and I'm a homebody and I didn't really know what
00:42:38
you did I just thought you were funny and a really nice guy and then I went home and looked you up and went my god
00:42:44
this is my brother from another mother it's an honor that you think that well
00:42:50
it's the evidence is on YouTube watch it it's like extraordinary acidy stuff the
00:42:55
Stallone doing the way you do Stallone now it's like a character as well there's a
00:43:01
sweetness to him kind of yeah it's different than he is he's actually seen it which is funny we've had Frank
00:43:07
Stallone on the show oh really and it's really cool to because some people like Impressions some people don't like why
00:43:13
did you find that Stallone that particular Stallone you just started doing it and then yeah just you know as
00:43:19
they really like the punch you stole it on you know yeah this is really stupid it's like coffee
00:43:25
yeah yeah but super sincere confidence stupidity yeah I just did like I don't
00:43:32
do them he like makes little movies and the last one which got demonetized everything gets demonetized that I put
00:43:38
out but he's like doing a documentary on 9 11 but it was like the day we got 9
00:43:44
11. yeah that's the first building got 9 11. what about this Kyle and I joke
00:43:50
about like if he goes on dates or you know we're obviously both older than our
00:43:56
Twilight mature and when we're out I remember I was with uh
00:44:02
said Rick our friend all my friends of my age so if we were we were in Las Vegas and we sat at this booth and this
00:44:08
girl came she was our Hostess so they like to blab and then they uh like manager sends it go talk to those guys
00:44:14
so she just sits with us but no one invites her she said she's 21. she's like hey guys so if you're in Vegas
00:44:23
I'm like yeah that's safe bet and then uh and then she doesn't have much to say and so she goes
00:44:29
where are you staying we're like Oh The Mirage and she goes oh fun that's the one it's got a big phone you know she
00:44:35
doesn't know anything and then my buddy goes you know I was there when they built the Mirage I was there opening
00:44:40
night she's like huh I go Rick quit advertising how [ __ ] old we are like built them or she doesn't even know what
00:44:46
it was ever built she goes what and he goes yeah and I go oh yeah and we were at uh we were she he goes remember the
00:44:51
dunes before they blew it up I go Rick it's getting worse I go the monkeys were better than the people yeah he goes ah I
00:44:58
go we were Joey Bishop's 40th at the dunes were you there no I'm 21 years old
00:45:03
and that was 200 years ago and and I we just got to be careful because you've
00:45:09
said it before you slip and say something like uh I've got buddies are like uh you know do you use compression
00:45:15
socks and she's like huh yeah like why are you talking about the oldest things in the world I even feel like you don't
00:45:22
wear that and he goes yeah and my other friend's like uh when I if I have like soreness and she
00:45:27
goes I know my arm hurt yesterday and he's like oh do you think it's arthritis I go what like what it's not arthritis
00:45:33
she's 21 quit saying the oldest sickening is words that even I'm at your table going Beat It old man yeah he's
00:45:40
not good for you what's young [ __ ] though what would you say oh you're younger
00:45:47
no there's no conversation it's just she was doing her job to say hi but this happens a lot when fans are some or just
00:45:55
anyone comes up and says hi and then we just catch ourselves having it's just too old you're right just references
00:46:03
my last date that I had I don't go on many dates because of what happens in on
00:46:08
them and she says to me um well you're a little long in the
00:46:14
tooth and I don't think we've been talking about age or anything and I thought we had a yeah and never heard
00:46:20
from you yes that time we were talking about that along with the tooth long and a tooth along in the tooth that's that
00:46:25
makes her seem old that's an old-fashioned that is maybe she was 62. with a nice lift yeah I went yeah my
00:46:33
dating's not bad I went on a date where the uh girl was um she showed up
00:46:38
different than what her picture was so that very different just say different yeah and she gets in the car and um she
00:46:46
gets nauseous and every five minutes we're pulling over for her to drool out of the car and then she takes off her
00:46:51
shoe and starts rubbing her bare foot like crossed over anyway it's been going
00:46:57
well so anyway about SNL I knew a guy who went on a Tinder date
00:47:02
with this woman and uh she'd never she was I guess she's didn't have a lot of money but they took her to her sushi

[Music] I'll tell you one last story of when my waiter who's German
00:47:26
I got I was there was a picture of me kissing a girl in a pool that was secretly taken or whatever but it was
00:47:33
kind of all over the place because it just was a weird match of people me and her actually it was just weird
00:47:39
because she was cute and I'm gross that's really the headline and so my way to go in the daily mix but definitely
00:47:46

00:48:58
run to the web and see if Daily Mail all right SNL audition that's all SNL audition okay this point let's just say
00:49:06
you're a seasoned stand up and you probably do to pretty much any accent and at least 50 have you done any
00:49:13
Shimmer's show yet at this point you've done any of that stuff writing no I had done Cedric which was a sketch show but
00:49:20
I never worked on any there was no reason to really work on any uh Impressions or characters because I
00:49:26
wasn't doing it on YouTube and there was no money in doing it right I was doing stand up and doing it yeah you do just
00:49:32
straight yeah nothing straight Stand Out extremely funny as well yeah uh thank you I um always feel like square peg
00:49:40
into doing stand up like I'm trying to do scenes and stand up that was the same with me yeah I was always I didn't
00:49:46
realize that until later I wonder it was difficult In A Honky Tonk Bar
00:49:51
I am a French so yeah I so what I did was I just made
00:49:59
a random tape of Impressions and sent it in not even thinking because nothing was going on I was broke and somehow they
00:50:07
were like Flume out and decided that I would audition and it felt like way too
00:50:13
big Suddenly It's like the next day I was flying out and I'm trying to write the thing and
00:50:19
I'm really really nervous and I'm in a hotel for two days just running it and
00:50:25
you guys like here's my six minutes or whatever trying to get it correctly on time which is the wrong you know I know
00:50:31
I'm in the wrong mind frame and I get there and it's it was 30 of us it was Nick early yes 30 people Nick Kroll was
00:50:37
there okay he was talking about that yeah and he was with John Mulaney who looked really young I was like hey how
00:50:44
old I mean do I know you he's like no I'm five I'm this many so I was like
00:50:52
this guy's not gonna make it that's I've never heard of John Mulaney let me let me absorb that yeah
00:50:58
I'm five he he made jokes about how young he does and he looked really
00:51:04
really young crazy for the long high school so he's auditioning too so you got he's auditioning this is the same night as our day is yeah nickroll 30
00:51:13
people that's a Death March and I'm just like white knuckling and I'm just like
00:51:19
please not first I just want to go first yeah you know let someone else she can figure this out here
00:51:25
uh no was this an 8h I think people could actually I no we were in the Conan
00:51:32
street because they were doing the Olympics yeah six four Rockefeller Center yeah yeah but they're like first up is Kyle Dunnigan uh and I was like
00:51:39
out of 30. yeah I know that's what are the odds of that three percent odds three point three percent odds so I went
00:51:47
into the you can do this hey you got this buddy right but um he didn't have
00:51:55
this spoiler so they're miking me up which is
00:52:00
nerve-wracking at himself when someone's miking you and the camera guy is like I'm gonna count you in three two one
00:52:06
you're right I'm getting nervous this is so well totally true guys have too much power the mic thing and all the okay kid
00:52:12
yeah is that good for you you like it right and they're not nervous at all you want to write in your pocket yeah
00:52:21
so he goes I'm Gonna Catch right in your stuff three two one go right into your stuff so he said to me my stuff so I had
00:52:27
that locked in my head so I walk out and the camera's in front of me and Lauren everybody are to the left and I'm just
00:52:32
staring at the camera oh no any Applause at all no just silence nothing's happening just walk out nothing's
00:52:38
happening and then Lauren goes hey hello like hello say hello to us
00:52:43
we're over here and I go oh hello hi hi and I turned back to the camera and more
00:52:48
dead silence and he's the guy's not counting me in you know and then Lauren says something I'm already on thin ice
00:52:56
and that's just crushed me through the ice in the door he goes are you okay
00:53:02
whoa and then I start trying to say tell I'm a guy I go well he said three two he
00:53:08
knows he's about to get tatted on so he counts me in when the red light goes on and I'm just uh destroyed uh uh I I
00:53:17
can't get to any facility or impression my brain's like look all hands on deck
00:53:24
to make this guy pass out drop the building we're not doing any of that we're just gonna breathe you know
00:53:30
Caitlyn or you know whatever she wasn't alive it was alive she wasn't anyway um that makes no sense so I can't even
00:53:37
they brought a piano out for me I can't play the piano like I'm just playing on it and every impression sounds the same
00:53:44
I'm like this is Chris Hanson I'm Chris Hanson this is blah blah I'm sort of outside myself and then I walk out like
00:53:50
I just got beat up and then the producers go to everybody else guys when you go out there say hi to Lauren okay
00:53:57
oh and so everyone knows how not to do it yeah anyway and before it's fine how
00:54:04
many were out there there's Lauren was like 10 people there's probably 10 people and they were sort of to your left and the camera was Center yeah I
00:54:11
didn't know I don't know where it played yeah I didn't know where I know if it's good to them or the camera but the camera guy it seemed like that was the
00:54:17
thing to do yeah but uh what was your Bill Maher there okay people
00:54:23
do you think you're one of those people yeah keep going and no one does anyone
00:54:30
else do him I don't think uh you're to me your Hook was the okay okay people
00:54:36
yeah do you really think you don't you're
00:54:41
wrong church lady do you think there's a magic man in the sky there's nods okay
00:54:47
okay it's sustaining the okay yeah yeah Eve was a pig she was made out of ribs
00:54:53
okay because yeah because he admonishes his audience yeah so directly you think
00:55:00
this and you think that yeah yeah everything sounds sarcastic you think you're good I bet even if he was trying
00:55:05
to be sincere yeah I'm sort of like that where people think I'm not I'm like him ordering frozen yogurt yeah I'll have
00:55:12
the rum raisin because it's delicious okay I love the Go-Gurt what Impressions did
00:55:21
you do on SNL audition yeah the attempted I did Chris Hansen was big at the time
00:55:27
yeah he was like from To Catch a Predator oh yeah he's trying to have sex with all the girls his screen name was
00:55:34
yep you guessed it boner95 he was trying he does like nine notes in the one word
00:55:41
size he goes yeah he's so lascivious he's got a new
00:55:46
show on I was watching it's just everything is so cryptic and it's come out he's kind of a criminal sort of
00:55:52
which is interesting yeah and what was your one that never failed
00:55:59
that you couldn't get to that day with Lauren watching like none of them sounded like any of them oh you really
00:56:05
couldn't get in the voice from nerves yeah I was so um shell-shocked it's almost like if
00:56:12
you're afraid of bees and there's bees around you I couldn't even begin to get to uh what I my voice it's really so
00:56:18
inefficient about this thing because I Steve Carell when he auditioned for the show I did in 96 yeah you know yeah that
00:56:25
was great he came in and he was really nervous yeah you know and he wasn't really doing well but I I was such a
00:56:30
horrible auditioner that later I looked at his tape and of course Louis and Michael loved him too but it was like oh
00:56:37
no he was just nervous didn't mean a thing to me it would be almost better if you put it on tape and send it in because then you just do it on your own
00:56:43
time your own speed you get it the best it is I know I think so and and I hear that they do try to Rattle you uh I know
00:56:50
Nick was saying that they so maybe they do but they uh Lauren if you're listening you don't have to everyone's
00:56:56
really nervous you're really already really nervous and I get it's a live show you better be able to handle it and
00:57:02
there's an argument for that like I wasn't ready to do that you know it's funny when I don't remember this but
00:57:07
Louis uh CK when he auditioned I think he auditioned where we did it maybe catch rising star one of those places a
00:57:14
stand-up comedy club where me and Robbie Schneider did and when I was on the other side of it it
00:57:21
was like oh there's auditions tonight if anybody wants to go like Marcy would say you guys and so Downey so a bunch of us went down
00:57:28
because I was still a writer also and performer had no pull but I don't know
00:57:33
if it was Lauren but it was maybe that first one is everybody else maybe it's Lauren but you know it's still scary Smiggle Downy Frank you know all of us
00:57:40
and then a bunch of scattered writers and producers and then um Louis said he was going on and we were walking in when
00:57:47
they introduced him and he said I I shushed everyone to be quiet so he could start
00:57:52
I don't remember that but it sounds about right that you would go I just did this two years ago and I know how sick
00:57:58
he is backstage going oh no I gotta go on and then and then like you're up they're like well they're not here yet and then they go ladies and gentlemen
00:58:05
they go oh they're coming in wait that's exactly like a horrible situation what do you do do you not start your best
00:58:10
jokes at the top no one's listening yeah everyone's like I'll get a vodka soda do you guys have a potato skins you know
00:58:17
yeah I don't know just listen right now is the only part you need to hear and then we can do whatever at one point Lauren did stop me I I got to be seen in
00:58:24
a comedy club but I also did the thing you did with like eight people there is that all you've got or is this or are
00:58:31
you gonna is that pretty much what he said yeah but I I thought later it was to see if I would blink you know but I I
00:58:39
had a rough childhood I know yours was a peaches increase it really was so I had
00:58:44
a lot of anger in me that I would translate into competitiveness like sometimes like I had a little bit of
00:58:51
like okay I saw that audition that you're talking about yes online somewhere and you were really funny I
00:58:57
remember that and I remember thinking wow he's that's really tough you were you were like um I remember there was like a microphone like oh my penis oh
00:59:03
you started doing Robin Williams yeah that was an easy one to do yeah I
00:59:09
felt like I kind of bombed I felt very nervous but you know part of the stand up in Show Business is hiding nerves
00:59:16
right yeah just that's it well I think his argument is well when it's live to
00:59:21
the world we don't need you freezing up I I I I think that's a legit thing from today
00:59:27
I just think that if you if the government mandated that that you would
00:59:33
you would do Saturday Night Live you would you would have flourished because you you'd get desensitized it just takes
00:59:38
time this is all yeah there's also once you have a job some people and I think I'm like the ones have a job I relax it's more like they're trying to get the
00:59:45
job working yeah because it's just there's Lauren this is thing and I came on there was is the original cast and
00:59:50
then there's a Billy Crystal Eddie Murphy years so there was the Legacy was only 10 years old so people coming in
00:59:56
now it's like 45 years of Comedians and pitchers yeah here's what you got to compete with yeah you know I think you
01:00:02
saved the show because thank you I love you thank you no I mean I really if you think about that show was dead I mean no
01:00:10
you ain't elevated it you saved it you're the funniest guy I you kind of
01:00:16
ruin the air it's at the Baton I was like here Adam
01:00:21
here Chris no I can't even argue that it was so good on there also that time I
01:00:27
don't remember anyone talking about it I mean Robert Downey Jr was in the cast five yeah yeah did you ever laugh with
01:00:33
him no I was right after that Purge year weird where Madonna did the cold opening my first show saying that last year was
01:00:41
just a dream it never happened oh is that what you did yeah because it was like yeah going to Iron Man for your
01:00:47
laughs he's great but like but I was nervous as hell and I had shitty shows and you know it was just you do get used
01:00:53
to it but it there is an aggression to it it's a rock and roll show it's it's like aggressive it was scary being uh
01:01:00
being an extra and they're like counting down and all the extras get nervous I thought I'd really made it or something
01:01:06
and they sent all the extras into the um Donahue room and they're like you stay in here you don't look at the casts in
01:01:14
the eye we're gonna come in here between us and beat you with a stick and you could feel like oh we're I remember when
01:01:20
Kyle came right up to me and he said hey you accidentally switched me in the booth during Gap girls and can you just
01:01:26
go ahead and fix that because that's harder for me to be on camera actually you're in one of my favorite Gap girls ever sketches I ever did I know it's
01:01:32
funny I have a memory of being there unreal if you were there as David's friend no I didn't know or didn't know I
01:01:39
was in the booth with him yeah no you're in the booth not with us but you were in the booth right now with your friends
01:01:47
yeah we just flip flops sides to the back of my head I'm sure he iced you once he was on camera he said once
01:01:52
Farley sat down that was acting crew was 100 over because it was funny funny then yeah Farley shifted or something and he
01:01:59
just it was like an eclipse yeah so Arnold said that about Danny DeVito you
01:02:05
never get Danny never have him sit down because he loses the energy you've got to keep Danny on this evening
01:02:12
oh you did my stoop Arnold of course you do who do you want to do who are your
01:02:18
favorites you guys did you do anything on Amy Schumer no you do my voice I have a blank voice hi I'm Dana he has her
01:02:25
voice he's kind of a cool it's like a throwaway thing that I I
01:02:30
start to do and I don't think about it doing it throw away a thing can you get to his Timber though because he has kind of a this is David Spade everybody he is
01:02:38
kind of a timber that's a lower register it's more of a laziness it's more of a laser because my jaw always hurts my
01:02:44
neck so I don't move my mind just sexy there's only one word to
01:02:51
describe it when you run Amy Schumer you were a uh writer and did you we'll get you out of here soon yeah what's Amy
01:02:57
Schumer was it a was it fun to be a writer on that was it a good you wrote some good sketches it was pretty much a
01:03:03
Heyday for her show right it was a big big show Big Show yeah it was a really good schedule too because we come in and
01:03:10
have like really basic pitches like this is a guy who owns a hamburger shop but he's afraid of hamburgers or whatever
01:03:15
that'd be your whole pet and then they go okay right hemp scared hamburger guy and this other sketch and we'd go home
01:03:23
for three days and we'd send it in on Thursday oh really and then on Friday we get notes and then we'd fix it so it's
01:03:29
like we lived lives oh you didn't just smart there because then we had soaked sweat and fear like we didn't so you got
01:03:36
trained to be a sketchwriter on that show they hired you from your stand up or how did you yeah or just hired me
01:03:42
from stand up so there was no crazy audition with anything did you worm your way I auditioned me I know you've heard
01:03:48
what happens yes what what are you talking about a trip we never trained
01:03:55
yeah no but um she's funny man we would love to be on the show Amy yeah did you
01:04:00
get on the show did you do anything on the show yeah originally it was it was uh yeah I was uh yeah I was on a few
01:04:08
um things okay could you have a softer answer um and then um
01:04:14
hi I was on the show for the right time right now what was the highlight so far then because you I when did you just
01:04:21
[ __ ] destroy at a club or something or a gig that you went okay because I've
01:04:26
seen some I think you're a Toronto comedy or Montreal and you're destroying just stand up you
01:04:34
saw me there no I saw it on you oh oh I mean it was kind of Destruction I I
01:04:39
remember it thanks um yeah stand up have you ever destroyed are you not remembering This Dana said I
01:04:46
just destroyed I think he must have destroyed because I look at the talent and then I think of the number of times on stage I mean
01:04:52
he's got it you killed a couple years ago somewhere yeah I'm not gonna follow
01:04:57
you if we go out in a little fun night David likes to hit the clubs after that was Kyle Dunnigan and now
01:05:05
Daniel farfo The Living Museum piece that's what I feel he's still alive let's bring him out no you do the longer
01:05:12
you stay around you become a museum piece [Music]
01:05:21
Seinfeld goes I'm gonna go do some new stuff like all right and I'm like oh this is great news maybe he'll bomb you
01:05:27
know you're gonna follow Jerry's iPhone it was just an improv he just came up and he goes I'm going to set you want to go on or do
01:05:34
you want me to go on I want you go and then you can get out of here and uh we shot the [ __ ] for a little bit he was
01:05:39
going to try some stuff and then when I followed him I go um I think that stuff's working I don't know I think
01:05:45
it's done he fixed it yeah it's not really Amateur hour no one works hard
01:05:51
yeah he's too cool Louise as well but just as far as just writing just fine
01:05:56
yeah I I did the comedy seller and it was it was Cherry seinfelding up then
01:06:01
Robin Williams and then Chris Rock and then I was next this is well that would be a tough after
01:06:09
Robin died before when was it it was just after he died that's a tough spot it was a tough spots
01:06:16
oh the leprechaun man all right
01:06:21
we represents no Robin was oh it was the fly I was
01:06:28
doing it yeah and the uh they said you know I hosted it a lot when I was in the beginning
01:06:33
before SNL and all that just to get on state I mean of course they go but would say ah David what are you uh
01:06:41
walls don't stand on the halls and he goes do you want to host one night it's not about the money it's the honor and I
01:06:48
was like man do I get a pineapple chicken dinner at least because I'd have to eat there I have no money yeah so I was now and then they'd have a showcase
01:06:55
night so they had me do seven minutes for Star Search or you know whoever and I'm standing there waiting and and uh
01:07:03
it's a good crowd it's packed and I'm next and the guys finishing up he got the light and then behind me I hear her
01:07:10
touch shoulder Dave it's faith and I go oh hey Robin I don't know Robin really
01:07:15
well at all I met him through bobcat and I oh hey and then it hit me you're not [ __ ] gonna go on you know and he goes
01:07:22
I'm just gonna jump on real quick I go of course and then he went on did 45 and
01:07:27
he annihilated raped and pillaged and then and while I was like a salmon because he walked off the whole crowd
01:07:34
left with him and I was trying to get this into the street yeah I was like excuse me Pardon Me Like Bugs
01:07:40
Bunny and I finally get the stages about 18 people left out of the whole club and I know all the people that went to see
01:07:46
me laugh they're like oh it's not going to get any better than that I had one running with Bud where I was the comic strip in New York and I was eating the
01:07:52
Chinese food and he goes hey can I have a little bit of that and I go now and he goes I don't know who you are but
01:07:59
you'll never work in LA and I thought he was joking I was joking back and he may have been joking I still
01:08:05
don't know this diet but you who was talking about Friedman yeah yeah I thought we were kind of take it
01:08:12
out I did him on SNL it didn't do very well take it outside Take It Outside
01:08:17
of bomb but just for the fans of listening Robin Williams I got to know
01:08:22
him really well the last five ten years of his life because he moved out to Marin where I was raising my kids played
01:08:27
a little local theater yeah this shyah sweetest the dichotomy between the powerhouse on
01:08:33
stage and to me it's like Elvis Charisma because he was so introverted so shy and so deferential called everyone boss okay
01:08:40
boss all right boss and then he would go on stage and he had such likability and to me he was like a Shakespearean actor
01:08:48
coming on stage as if he had nothing so he created this whole because he was always saying oh did I take anything
01:08:54
from you he was always making amends I said no I I tried to be you I stoled your whole act you know yeah and uh
01:09:01
right he walks on like he's got nothing and then he's even the Improv it's a Rolodex of like
01:09:07
if I think of this I do have a joke about that yeah yeah right you say this in his commitment you know I'd pick up a
01:09:13
little plastic thing yeah there was this one time I think it was Albert Brooks that says that Robin it's okay
01:09:19
because when Robin would get on he couldn't stop himself yeah yeah anyway all right well enough enough about Kyle

at cadence13.com who's the next question from Dana
01:13:10
um let's see here it's Samantha Washburn Samantha Washburn
01:13:16
like she goes here's my dumb question funny already yeah she's playing along with how we do it uh do you try to hang
01:13:22
out talk with certain friends before performing or appearing on something to get you in a funny mood already to
01:13:30
Spring out of bed every morning and start cracking yourself up with your own jokes are there this just keeps going are
01:13:36
there people in your life that bring out your funniest version of you who Rack Em I love it
01:13:41
that's a reference for people don't know was almost going to be the title of this podcast it was David's idea and it's
01:13:47
based on when in pool when you're a great pool shark you say Rackham yeah you hit the last one in and you go right
01:13:53
you get all the you know like you just nailed all the Builder balls so if you nail a joke you go right so that's funny
01:13:58
she didn't use it in the perfect sense but I like that she used it because she started with here's my dumb question and
01:14:04
it's with Rackham in between not so good no it was very good Samantha she gets it all okay Sam Sam Washburn so Dana this
01:14:13
is a good question now I will say I do try to surround myself with funny people
01:14:19
even uh I don't say even females but if I date someone I like when they're light
01:14:25
on their feet or just laugh furs are fun nothing too serious or heavy because there's enough of that in the world so
01:14:31
Dana makes me laugh we're having dinner tonight and it makes me laugh yeah we are you're gonna come late
01:14:37
is that me no you're so funny because you're the only one that goes dinner earlier than me which is shocking I know
01:14:44
you like to get a big steak and fries and then lay down to go to sleep at night I like to be kind of empty I can't
01:14:49
sleep I can't eat and go to sleep and I go to I have Farmer's hours I poo in my car on the way home
01:14:57
I thought that was a private thing you wanted to tell me and now it's beamed out I like when I get a little gross and
01:15:03
Danny goes oh boy okay so let's get back this who what Dana's wife is very funny
01:15:09
and she's exactly that she's liking her feet she has an incredible sense of humor that she's a human laugh machine
01:15:14
but it's real um so it's yeah it puts me in a good mood when I go to Dana's and she's there she
01:15:21
laughs she's funny she adds funny things and she just gets all the whole thing and uh she just just like talking to The
01:15:28
Comedians and I do like being around people like that I don't wake up cracking up but sometimes I do laugh
01:15:36
by yourself yeah what do you yeah isn't it embarrassing that's healthy but
01:15:41
there's two things here there's one is before performing I don't think the only thing that gets me turned on
01:15:48
is when I go out to an audience and I get a big laugh and then I'm immediately
01:15:53
into the mode of being funny in life though hanging out with you or Lovitz or Dennis Miller or any of our Rowdy
01:16:01
Friends uh they a funny person starts making you laugh and then you kind of bounce back so that's right some people
01:16:07
just drop your energy they don't have to be hilarious but some people are just almost the opposite like for some reason you walk away feeling woozy or you just
01:16:14
feel like in a bad mood or you're kind of down and that's just a chemistry thing um so yeah
01:16:20
