00:00:02
Jeff Goldman yes what do you got before
00:00:04
I tell you about Jeff Goldblum honestly
00:00:06
I was just on the road doing this tour
00:00:07
and uh
00:00:08
playing these gigs and the new thing
00:00:10
that's going on is that because Corona
00:00:13
is not gone but slowing down these
00:00:15
people that wait in the airport to have
00:00:17
you sign stuff right and I sound like an
00:00:19
ingrate but I do love fans I know you do
00:00:21
and it's fun when people come me as a
00:00:24
fan but when they are just have like
00:00:25
these Funko pops and these posters and
00:00:28
things but they get in the airports when
00:00:30
you're on the road so they you get out
00:00:31
of your gate and there's 10 people
00:00:32
walking with you and I do one each
00:00:35
because I don't I get a little weird out
00:00:37
because it's they're very aggressive
00:00:38
they're not fans let's I'm gonna start
00:00:40
with that they're just guys
00:00:42
and then I go to one each and they don't
00:00:45
accept that they walk you all the way to
00:00:46
luggage I I lost piece of luggage
00:00:47
because I was too distracted because
00:00:49
they wouldn't leave me alone and then
00:00:50
they walk in your car then they drive to
00:00:52
the hotel and wait for you anyway so
00:00:54
this sounds like I don't like fan
00:00:55
they're not they just go scientists use
00:00:56
my pen this Corona Corona Corona
00:00:58
everywhere and then they have like a kid

00:01:21

00:01:23
didn't know and then these guys were up
00:01:25
and I lost a piece of luggage because of
00:01:27
that and then something else happened
00:01:28
that was really bad but other than I
00:01:31
know what it's that's the road I know
00:01:32
what it's like to be David's Bay because
00:01:34
we were doing the gig at the wheel turn
00:01:36
with our
00:01:37
friend Adam Sandler I was being driven
00:01:39
in a black SUV and I was like David
00:01:44
you know so what I did I put the window
00:01:46
down just a little bit I flipped him the
00:01:48
bird and then when they see me they got
00:01:51
David where's Adam he's coming uh oh
00:01:54
yeah Adam did the show he's coming up
00:01:55
and Jeff Goldblum
00:01:58
let's just say cool dude there's very
00:02:01
few modern actors like in the olden
00:02:03
times you'd have a very quirky voices me
00:02:06
being an impression Jeff Goldblum has a
00:02:09
like Nicholas Cage or Christopher Walken
00:02:11
he's got a very unique uh
00:02:19
and he's very he's listening with you
00:02:21
you are fascinating to me I'm finding
00:02:24
out there
00:02:25
and he would put his hands near his
00:02:28
mouth and kind of move his fingers
00:02:30
around I was trying to interrupt us like
00:02:32
do you want to say something Jeff he
00:02:33
goes no you're fascinating I just want
00:02:36
to listen to you and he would just move
00:02:37
his fingers around his face remember
00:02:39
that he hosted twice he was doing this
00:02:41
interview by the way uh from the
00:02:43
Jurassic world for drastic Dominion
00:02:46
world or something or it's or as we call
00:02:49
it Jurassic Jurassic Park this time the
00:02:52

00:02:54
great title this time they'll scare the
00:02:57
[ __ ] out of you
00:02:58
uh I knew a guy used to a bit about uh
00:03:01
the T-Rex couldn't masturbate you know
00:03:03
the dinosaurs
00:03:06
give me that wiener that was his closer
00:03:12

00:03:16
this to go somewhere with it this time
00:03:19
there's no dinosaurs
00:03:21
it's just land sharks they have to keep
00:03:24
upping the Annie and it's like the uh
00:03:28
they're smarter than us this time yeah
00:03:30
they have intelligence
00:03:33
well I'm I'm afraid I have something to
00:03:35
tell you about the dinosaurs they get on
00:03:37
the
00:03:38
elevator's a shark
00:03:39
[Music]
00:03:40
yeah the dinosaurs can talk and they're
00:03:44
poets uh anyway the movie's better than
00:03:47
that we saw the movie and Goldblum is a
00:03:50
study he always said he didn't sketch
00:03:51
with me called Carl with a K I worked at
00:03:53
the video store and we relive that
00:03:57
movie's great I mean that's the kind of
00:03:59
movie you want to see in the big screen
00:04:01
plus he was in Independence Day and he
00:04:04
was in Jurassic Park these are huge huge
00:04:07
mega movies yeah I'm gonna ask him if
00:04:10
he's ever met Will Smith did he meet him
00:04:12
on the set
00:04:13
yeah and did he ever have an Impulse to
00:04:16
slap Will Smith yeah who punched who I
00:04:20
think Jeff Goldblum is 6 12. he's a very
00:04:22
tall guy and which is all that matters
00:04:26
in life I mean look at Instagram I'm mad
00:04:28
about it he's just a great actor and
00:04:29
he'll delve into that on our podcast
00:04:32
just about his technique and just
00:04:34
thought he wishes he could do everything
00:04:36
over again I thought he was very humble
00:04:38
wants to hang out with us yeah I won't
00:04:41
say no and we will
00:04:43
and uh we'll stop talking so we can talk
00:04:46
over Jeff gublum here we go yeah and by
00:04:49
the way just so you all know there he
00:04:50
was doing a press junket oh yeah it's
00:04:52
not a full hour and so it was a little
00:04:55
bit we were a little hyperact sorry
00:04:56
we're new to this and we're narcissists
00:04:58
we're not even new anymore we're just
00:04:59
still bad we've done it for we've done
00:05:01
200 episodes we're still learning no but
00:05:03
it was uh the sound was a little iffy on
00:05:05
that and there was a sense that uh well
00:05:08
I was so excited just to talk to Jeff
00:05:10
Goldblum just got a little hyperbolic
00:05:12
and uh he'll mention his favorite movies
00:05:14
and you'll you'll hear that list it's
00:05:16
pretty exciting it is a long list it is
00:05:19
a long list
00:05:20
um because Jeff goldblum's done a lot of
00:05:22
sort of a quirky actor uh tall man uh

00:08:13

00:08:38
they're losing a lot of weight there's a
00:08:40
person with a big hair who leads it and
00:08:42
it turns out during the episode that I
00:08:44
saw chunk of they're they're spanking
00:08:47
kids and they like the idea of spanking
00:08:50
kids have you seen that I I haven't but
00:08:52
I've got it on my watch list I haven't
00:08:55
seen it it sounds like most of them like
00:08:57
the one where they uh the guy went and
00:09:00
met with a Dalai Lama
00:09:02
remember that guy and he had he he has a
00:09:05
I remember that one they they have all
00:09:07
the girls come out and and then he's
00:09:09
like a smooth talker and then at some
00:09:12
point it turns into guys uh I do have to
00:09:15
have sex with everybody it's like it's
00:09:17
so typical and they should go okay it's
00:09:20
bad enough you took all my money but
00:09:21
it's always goes to sex that's true and
00:09:23
you have to go the trick is is to be so
00:09:25
human like they fart they they eat
00:09:28
chocolate they drive rolls royces and so
00:09:30
they go he's so real it's almost like a
00:09:33
double trick like of course he's yeah
00:09:36
of this world I don't know hey Jeff have
00:09:39
you ever had cult people follow go ahead
00:09:42
I want I see Jeff pointing what do you
00:09:44
want to say about oh no I'm just
00:09:45
listening to me tell you I'm telling
00:09:47
more to everything that you're saying
00:09:48
and I would say you you guys must love
00:09:50
that movie The Master which I like a lot
00:09:53
I like PT Anderson very much uh love
00:09:55
everything he does saw that movie three
00:09:57
times obsessed by it yeah brilliant yeah
00:10:00
I am too yeah I think it's uh brilliant
00:10:03
and There Will Be Blood and I like
00:10:05
inherent Vice and I like Phantom thread
00:10:07
and of course Boogie Nights and
00:10:09
Punch-Drunk Love uh and I liked licorice
00:10:12
pizza very very much can I ask you about
00:10:13
Phantom thread yes you're you're married
00:10:17
I'm married David
00:10:19
might get those weird people what do you
00:10:22
think the overarching theme of phantom
00:10:24
thread was because that was
00:10:27
Daniel Day-Lewis said do we what have we
00:10:30
wrought I mean he told PT hey like I
00:10:33
can't believe we just made this movie
00:10:35
and the theme of it about the male
00:10:37
female Dynamic I wonder you know I saw
00:10:39
it when it came out or to have this uh
00:10:42
um in in-depth discussion I'd want to
00:10:45
see it again and study it because I
00:10:47
think it's very uh uh deep what I what I
00:10:50
noticed about that movie the impression
00:10:51
that I got was that in contrast to some
00:10:54
movies that sometimes
00:10:55
I'm suspicious of it it it
00:11:00
um talked about a relationship it
00:11:02
depicted a relationship that was in some
00:11:06
ways a tip of the iceberg had tip of the
00:11:09
iceberg elements that were alluded to
00:11:12
depicted but that had roots and
00:11:15
backstories and underpinning
00:11:18
psychologically that were thoroughly
00:11:21
investigated I thought I didn't know
00:11:23
what they were yeah but it was for us to
00:11:25
figure out uh whereas some movies go hey
00:11:28
we're vague here we'll allude to
00:11:31
something but we don't actually know
00:11:32
what it's what's going on that was my
00:11:34
impression that he is very very
00:11:36
brilliant and and entirely thorough and
00:11:39
it it seemed like the in the male female
00:11:40
Dynamic there is kind of like
00:11:43
you sort of want your spouse to kill you
00:11:46
in a way and you want to kill them and
00:11:48
that's part of the romance of it or
00:11:50
something because he wanted to be
00:11:52
poisoned by his wife he clearly enjoyed
00:11:55
and she liked him being helpless it's
00:11:57
very interesting well did you remember
00:11:59
Boxing Helena yeah
00:12:02
so so that has nothing to do with this
00:12:05
but I remember I've heard him talk about
00:12:07
because I like fun things about behind
00:12:10
the scenes and directors talking he said
00:12:13
that he admired Rudolph yes uh his wife
00:12:16
were at home during one cycle where he
00:12:19
got the flu or something yeah and he
00:12:22
thought she was in his attent in her
00:12:24
attention to him particularly caring and
00:12:27
I think that it triggered this story he
00:12:30
said as I remember uh whereby hey I like
00:12:33
this idea of being uh you know silent
00:12:37
week and and yes
00:12:40
vulnerable it brings out something is
00:12:43
going on I love that actress Daniel Day
00:12:45
Lewis was great enough but I love that
00:12:47
actress who was in it yeah yeah we could
00:12:50
talk about that forever or a million
00:12:51
things I'm so happy to see you guys I
00:12:54
really am excited to talk to you

that's where I met you I didn't I forgot
00:13:43
about this sketch meeting a long time
00:13:44
ago and I looked it up you forgot what
00:13:46
what a long time ago you were on a show
00:13:48
called SNL and I was a writer performer
00:13:51
Saturday Night Live I've seen several of
00:13:54
those and I remember when you and I did
00:13:56
you did a spectacular Larry thing where
00:13:59
you are a video you were the uh the
00:14:01
clerk at a video store and you said yes
00:14:04

00:14:28
so nervous just to be on SNL and then
00:14:31
I've got a star in it and I was newer
00:14:34
and I'm trying to like not be on the cue
00:14:36
cards which is very dangerous to try to
00:14:39
memorize it snls it changes so much but
00:14:42
I was the writer so I knew what I
00:14:43
changed and you came in and you've got
00:14:46
such a casual relaxed acting style which
00:14:48
is in all your stuff you're great at it
00:14:50
and I really appreciated it more on that
00:14:53
because you played things so real it
00:14:55
almost calmed me down and not be such a
00:14:56
[ __ ] Goofy I was trying not to be too
00:14:59
charactery but it is SNL and I don't
00:15:01
really know that much about acting so I
00:15:03
just thought you maybe should have
00:15:04
beaten me up during the sketch because I
00:15:06
was getting a little Broad
00:15:08
nother not as I remember it you've
00:15:11
always been a spectacular actor I loved
00:15:13
doing that I was thank you Jeff you know
00:15:16
I don't know if you call it nervousness
00:15:17
but I was on alert uh doing that show
00:15:20
and I wish I could do it now I'll bet I
00:15:22
would see that and think I could do it
00:15:24
better now because I keep getting a
00:15:26
little more something or other but yeah
00:15:29
I try to I try to improve can I ask you
00:15:31
I want to ask you a question Jeff that I
00:15:34
noticed from the first Jurassic Park and
00:15:38
yes sir you and I I was coming out of
00:15:40
doing a acting class one-on-one with Roy
00:15:43
London and I met you and you invited me
00:15:47
to jam with you which was very cool and
00:15:50
I was so happy to meet you but I
00:15:52
remember
00:15:53
in Jurassic Park and I looked it up to
00:15:55
make sure it's like I didn't know if
00:15:56
they wrote your part as Elvis but you're
00:15:58
on the helicopter
00:16:00
and I go oh he's doing Elvis I thought
00:16:02
that's very Roy London is to do Elvis
00:16:05
but pull it back and then at one point
00:16:07
you just started kind of roaring
00:16:10
like a dinosaur but it but I I didn't I
00:16:13
don't know if everyone noticed it but
00:16:15
you're like wow right and I thought is
00:16:18
that is that you know Meisner is it
00:16:21
London is it Jeff Goldblum or did I
00:16:24
recognize that you were doing something
00:16:25
that made it so charismatic and so
00:16:29
specific
00:16:30
which is maybe part of your Brilliance
00:16:32
but do you remember that I'm not
00:16:34
brilliant at all you're so sweet
00:16:36
um I don't remember
00:16:38
um that I was doing anything like what I
00:16:40
thought of consciously as a roar or
00:16:43
anything I've seen that scene and I know
00:16:45
how you know I laughed in some kind of
00:16:47
uh
00:16:48
yeah but uh but now that you mentioned
00:16:52
it I think I I I was I was coaching with
00:16:56
Roy London back then geez what a
00:16:59
wonderful guy he was brilliant and he
00:17:03
had some always subversive unexpected
00:17:06
you know uh Uncle cliche ideas you know
00:17:09
to offer and you know but I you know I I
00:17:12
I loved Steven Spielberg on that I
00:17:14
remember feeling uh you know alive and
00:17:19
excited and full of Creative Juice of
00:17:22
one kind or another I went to one Roy
00:17:24
London class and then I was with Ivana
00:17:26
her uh his Protege you know the Sheikh
00:17:29
started taking people when and Roy was
00:17:31
too full so I knew that world a little
00:17:33
bit and uh I do think it helped me I
00:17:35
think it helped me a lot and when I saw
00:17:36
someone like you in something like
00:17:38
Jurassic Park it gives hope to someone
00:17:40
that's just a comedian that wants to go
00:17:42
in that world is like you could mean
00:17:43
this big movie that's not a comedy but
00:17:47
having someone come in there and lightly
00:17:49
weave in some comedic moments is so
00:17:52
important and you do it so effortlessly
00:17:55
some probably written some aren't and
00:17:57
and the more they let you do it the more
00:17:59
confidence you get probably because I'd
00:18:01
be scared around Spielberg but to If he
00:18:03
if he's letting you do that stuff it
00:18:05
really uh puts layers in that movie
00:18:07
that's so good one more reason it's a
00:18:09
great movie well thank you so much you
00:18:11
know I I I I I I you guys are talking my
00:18:15
language when we're not I don't want to
00:18:17
bore anybody and if we you and I should
00:18:19
just uh we should all have dinner at
00:18:21
muso and franks or something and I'd
00:18:23
like to talk to you guys for you know
00:18:25
because I'm just a humble student of it
00:18:27
and I I but I would I'd love to talk
00:18:29
about your ideas about what you're just
00:18:31
talking about you guys are brilliant and
00:18:34
um and how you how you navigate all
00:18:36
situations like that which I'm still
00:18:38
trying to do you know we made another
00:18:39
one of these and uh and I I love to talk
00:18:42
about all Jurassic Park world Dominion
00:18:45
June 10th yeah
00:18:49
yesterday and the day before you're
00:18:52
kidding what do you mean wait a minute
00:18:53
you saw our latest movie on two days he
00:18:57
was able to Thursday I tried to download
00:19:00
it and the second day uh that was three
00:19:02
hours and then the second day I watched
00:19:04
it and uh I thought it was very
00:19:06
interesting now it's so good I don't
00:19:09
even think the dinosaurs are fake I just
00:19:11
think they're part of it because it used
00:19:12
to be like that looks real that looks
00:19:14
real now I'm like so he's in the scene
00:19:16
of the dinosaur but everyone's so smooth
00:19:18
at it I it can't be this tennis balls on
00:19:21
a stick anymore it's like everyone's
00:19:24
looking the right way and acting and
00:19:25
back and forth and I really want and the
00:19:27
dinosaurs act a little better this time
00:19:29
because they're very good you know and I
00:19:31
thought it was a really interesting
00:19:33
great movie that people are gonna love
00:19:35
because it it has all the stuff you want
00:19:38
from those movies and it's got to be
00:19:39
hard to keep doing it and keep it great
00:19:41
a lot of great chasings where they just
00:19:43
don't end you're like holy [ __ ]
00:19:45
um what's going on here but it also so
00:19:47
real and looks like so hard to do the
00:19:49
boys are back in town if you know the
00:19:51
reference it's uh Sam O'Neill Lord Dern
00:19:54
yeah
00:19:56
again you know Samuel Lord during the
00:19:59
yes well it's so great to hear you say
00:20:00
that uh David and thank you I hope
00:20:03
people like it but Colin travaro wrote a
00:20:06
script with Emily Carmichael that's uh
00:20:08
that's um a smart he's a he's a terrific
00:20:11
director and he's been thinking about
00:20:13
this for a long time and and to take all
00:20:15
those characters and to make it into
00:20:17
something logical and satisfying and uh
00:20:20
isn't an easy task and I think he did a
00:20:23
great job you got to be ahead of
00:20:24
everyone because everyone's seen this
00:20:26
you know you guys have done them before
00:20:28
and then you've got it you've got all
00:20:30
these people that probably it's harder
00:20:31
to keep everyone happy and make sure
00:20:33
everyone knows the movie's one step
00:20:35
ahead of everyone when you watch it and
00:20:37
just so complicated that whole thing and
00:20:39
I've done movies of mine are a little
00:20:40
not simpler but you know we're worried
00:20:42
about different things and I just watch
00:20:44
your night shoots and your craziness and
00:20:46
I'm just like there's so much is going
00:20:47
on as much fear and what's going on here
00:20:49
and there but did a great job everything
00:20:51
looks real it's great thank you so much
00:20:54
yeah I'm proud of it they they did
00:20:56
nicely and Colin had this idea where the
00:20:58
dinosaurs were not going to be CGI
00:21:00
mostly they were going to be
00:21:02
um made animatronically and John Nolan
00:21:05
had a creature shop and so they were
00:21:07
there okay they're doing better than
00:21:09
ever the dinosaurs are bigger and more
00:21:10
fantastic than ever and yeah he did good
00:21:13
I saw Alf in there maybe I'm wrong was
00:21:16
elf no it wasn't your thing you're
00:21:17
mixing this up with another movie
00:21:20
that's the Will Ferrell when you get the
00:21:23
script Jeff do they do you feel like
00:21:25
they're writing for your character and
00:21:27
and also the Jeff Goldblum Rhythm or do
00:21:29
you kind of bring yourself to it because
00:21:32
you do have very off-kilter syncopated
00:21:36
and of course and they try to guess that
00:21:38
why would I became a gigantic fan I I
00:21:41
believe a gigantic fan my wife and I
00:21:43
from The Big Chill because we saw it so
00:21:46
many times we actually went to the
00:21:47
Cineplex we're trying to see another
00:21:49
movie and we heard The Big Chill was
00:21:51
starting we'd already seen it three
00:21:53
times then we went over and watched it
00:21:55
again and we watched it four months ago
00:21:57
so that was the one where that whole
00:22:00
cast was amazing and that's where I
00:22:03
really noticed your Genius or whatever
00:22:04
you want to call anyone who can be in a
00:22:07
film and be that natural and and so
00:22:11
fascinating your vocal rhythms because
00:22:13
that's kind of what I'm into are so
00:22:15
interesting anyway I'll let you speak
00:22:17
sorry I found out a little bit no gee

00:22:38
yeah you're not allowed it's too much
00:22:39

00:22:42
the most beautiful sad brilliant science
00:22:45
fiction films ever made I'll let you
00:22:47
talk I get emotional seeing that too
00:22:50
David Cronenberg is a heck of a director

00:23:44
King but who is that
00:23:48
starring Billy King yeah hey Jeff do you

three four ninety three yeah yeah was it
00:24:10
93 and and that's when the monologue had
00:24:13
I think didn't Laura Dern wasn't she
00:24:16

something yes I think she might have
00:24:19
come done something and said oh were
00:24:20
those dinosaurs real and da da da or
00:24:22
people keep asking me were the dinosaurs
00:24:24
real I should have done my research and
00:24:26
seen both of those again but uh but I
00:24:29
had a great time and and the uh and
00:24:32
Aerosmith was the musical guest one time

00:24:49
watched a couple and you had a pretty
00:24:51
all-star cast it was canteen boy
00:24:55
is so ridiculous and you were kind of
00:24:57
mean in it which is very not you I
00:24:59
realized you're never really mean in
00:25:02
movies I don't think and uh this is sort
00:25:04
of a different I mean it's only a sketch
00:25:06
but you had hilarious Sandler being
00:25:08
ridiculous campaign
00:25:10
yeah you had Phil Hartman Uh Kevin Neal
00:25:14
and Tim Meadows that was a that was a
00:25:16
great one with everybody what a cast hey
00:25:18
I want to see that again yeah that was
00:25:21
amazing wasn't it and then how about
00:25:24
that one I did with Molly Shannon where
00:25:26

00:25:32
Last Dance Last Chance

just died I had just left I must have
00:25:42
just missed you Jeff I left in March or
00:25:46
April of 70 93 sorry I think and you
00:25:50
were there later maybe in the fall yeah
00:25:51
yeah I want to go over into 10 male I
00:25:55
want to remember all my experiences and
00:25:57
and uh and question you about every
00:26:01
experience you had I'm kind of
00:26:02
fascinated with SNL really and I see I
00:26:05
see a lot of interviews with people and
00:26:08
listen to podcasts and people talking
00:26:10
about it I I can't get enough of that I
00:26:12
love it it's a seminal experience for
00:26:14
the host that's go or the athlete or the
00:26:18
movie star or whatever going into live
00:26:20
television with no prep and for us who
00:26:22
are Unknown People David and I getting
00:26:24
our break on a show with that much
00:26:26
pressure it never totally leaves you
00:26:29
it's a touchstone for all of us that's
00:26:31
why this podcast has been so interesting
00:26:33
and for you you know what must have been
00:26:36
experientially how did you I it's like
00:26:39
really intense hosting that show
00:26:42
it's wild they're picked in Poland's I
00:26:45
mean what was that like for you the
00:26:46
quick changes and just
00:26:48
uh yeah it was it was something I took
00:26:51
it seriously as a you know and it was
00:26:54
you know unnerving and and exciting in a
00:26:59
lot of ways and I tried to you know just
00:27:01
to do the assignment as well as I could
00:27:04
and and work hard that week uh you know
00:27:09
um in however I could do it and trying
00:27:12
to figure out how to do it uh and as I
00:27:14
remember you know I felt like it had
00:27:17
gone okay but I'll bet if I saw it now
00:27:20
like a lot of things from that period
00:27:23
And even until recently I think I could
00:27:25
do much better now I don't know
00:27:27
something is broken with me recently
00:27:30
broken free and broken uh I I feel like
00:27:33
into into some new territory where I'm a
00:27:37
little more
00:27:38
uh confident relaxed connected to
00:27:41
something that I can do uh and I'll bet
00:27:44
I could could make my way through
00:27:46
something like that a little better and
00:27:48
where do you think that's coming from is
00:27:50
it just being a dad or is it just where
00:27:53
you are just over time being being a dad
00:27:56
has been deepening and I keep working so
00:27:59
I keep getting a chance to kind of
00:28:01
Practice Things
00:28:02
um
00:28:04
ah and I you know just from
00:28:07
having done it I think I'm a late
00:28:09
bloomer in some ways and uh I I I don't
00:28:14
know I think I keep finding things that
00:28:17
are my own recently I don't know how to
00:28:20
describe it I'll tell you know it's
00:28:21
boring to talk about it I don't know I'd
00:28:23
love to talk to you guys about it
00:28:25
we're gonna have a long dinner and talk
00:28:28
all about it but I do think that uh for
00:28:30
me too I think the more you do something
00:28:32
being desensitized to 100 people
00:28:34
watching on our movie set and getting
00:28:36
out of your own way and out of your own
00:28:38
head in terms of here's my lines this
00:28:40
and that I think there are people who
00:28:42
are savants that maybe it was you know
00:28:45
uh Brando or people like that there's
00:28:47
other people who just get better and
00:28:49
better and more confident and more
00:28:51
movies and more TV shows so I relate to
00:28:53
that to you just getting getting better
00:28:55
now yeah I I feel like that's my story
00:28:58
yeah Sandy Meisner was my teacher and he
00:29:01
said you know it takes 20 years of
00:29:02
continual work to even be able to call
00:29:04
yourself an actor uh so he like this you
00:29:07
know 40 000 hours he didn't say that but
00:29:10
he liked that kind of you know
00:29:12
continuity of digging he said was the
00:29:14
way to get somewhere you know just keep
00:29:16
doing it uh and it'll take you someplace
00:29:19
and that I think I had that in mind and
00:29:21
I think that's maybe why it why it
00:29:24
happened to me that way I feel like it's
00:29:26
happening to me that way interesting you
00:29:28
know I I call myself an actor after two
00:29:30
classes but maybe it was a little brush
00:29:32
but uh I think Jeff um what happened
00:29:35
with me with comedy a little bit which
00:29:37
might be maybe what we're all talking
00:29:39
about is
00:29:40
uh the early years are almost constantly
00:29:43
an audition and you just don't know if
00:29:45
you're going to stay in the show
00:29:46
business like right you do good and only
00:29:48
buys you six months and then where have
00:29:50
you been and the next one better work
00:29:52
and this better work and I think all of
00:29:54
us get to a certain point where we go
00:29:55
okay I think I'm just going to stay in
00:29:57
Show Business I think it's okay like and
00:29:59
then you can start being looser going I
00:30:01
do care but I'm more cared about the
00:30:04
right things instead of just oh I hope
00:30:06
then it's not so fear-based as it maybe
00:30:09
it used to be maybe that that's it isn't
00:30:10
me I relate to that I think that's true
00:30:13
of me too I was uh I had plenty of I you
00:30:17
know I was I I had Terrors of one kind
00:30:20
or another I think I was excited and
00:30:22
somehow confident from a a belly full of
00:30:25
uh uh inflammation or or fire of one
00:30:28
kind another I really want to do this
00:30:29
and I'm excited about doing that but I
00:30:31
was I think from also that Meisner thing
00:30:34
I think I took the other side of the
00:30:36
coin of it and thought hey if it takes
00:30:38
20 years I'm not really an actor I'm
00:30:40
just kind of doing this to practice and
00:30:42
if I get chances to do this I hope they
00:30:45
don't realize I I ain't I I ain't I'm
00:30:47
not an actor yet and I think that gave
00:30:50
me a kind of uh oh uh Terror and I think
00:30:54
I overworked certain things and yeah you
00:30:57
know but yeah but that that relaxed over
00:31:00
a time and you're right something like
00:31:01
hey you know if I can't if I you know if
00:31:06
it's not in me that's the way it goes
00:31:09
and if it doesn't work but you know this
00:31:11
is what I like doing and and here it is
00:31:13
and somehow I'll find it I will not I
00:31:17
don't have to get into some state of
00:31:20
hyper you know you know some incredible
00:31:24
State I there's I can do it if I get a
00:31:27
good night's sleep and pay attention to
00:31:28
it and put a little effort into it I can
00:31:31
solve a problem in my way one way or
00:31:34
another you know that kind of thing
00:31:38
[Music]
00:31:40
so you know on SNL I think for all of us
00:31:43
and I'm sure as a host it was really
00:31:45
just controlling nerves I mean I I think
00:31:47
I was the most confident after I did 140
00:31:51
shows the night I stepped off of SNL was
00:31:54
probably my best show from my point of
00:31:56
view and it was just the 140 shows beat
00:31:59
the [ __ ] out of my fear and anxiety and
00:32:02
so I think for as a host especially did
00:32:05
your second time hosting were you
00:32:07
informed by the first time were you a
00:32:09
little more confident the second time or
00:32:11
both times were just like such an outer
00:32:13
space experience
00:32:15
yeah maybe at that point what was that
00:32:17
that's like 30 years ago or 25 years ago
00:32:20
hard to say uh yeah you know I was
00:32:23
halfway there I tried to get through it
00:32:26
and I enjoyed myself you know I enjoyed
00:32:29
myself uh but like I say I think I think
00:32:35
I could do better now yeah I think
00:32:37
that's true of everybody you you got a
00:32:40
feel for it it's such a like a horse
00:32:42
race it's over before you know it and
00:32:45
and if you're a control freak I'm not
00:32:46
saying you are I'm just saying you know
00:32:48
everyone's sort of a perfectionist in
00:32:49
this business but if you think for a
00:32:51
second you're going to be able to handle
00:32:53
what's going on at all times and oh I
00:32:54
got to make sure my costume is perfect
00:32:56
and let me look at that sketch again and
00:32:58
pick that like it did it's too fast
00:33:00
there's too much you can't you almost
00:33:01
have to put your hands up and go just go
00:33:03
it's like the quick change you do a
00:33:05
sketch you walk off and hold your hands
00:33:06
up they rip your clothes off put the
00:33:09
next thing on you and go this is one of
00:33:10
your playing astronaut go and you just
00:33:12
15 seconds and it's so exhilarating that
00:33:16
uh the next time you go I think I gotta
00:33:18
figure it out now and you really don't
00:33:19
yeah but you have to just let go and
00:33:22
like yeah yeah like no one used to say
00:33:24
you know lay back and giggle
00:33:26
um yeah it's something but you know I
00:33:28
think I kind of that's I like that I
00:33:32
think I would like even more of that
00:33:33
whenever it's like hey you can't
00:33:35
possibly plan for this just give me
00:33:38
something to to kind of figure out right
00:33:41
now and I'll do it watch this I kind of
00:33:43
I think I like that kind of thing yeah
00:33:45
that was uh can I ask you I don't know I
00:33:48
do this with guests because I I like
00:33:50
putting people like you in context of
00:33:52
when they were a young person so I just
00:33:56
like to know you could go real quick if
00:33:57
you want a toy that you remember from
00:33:59
your childhood that stood out your a
00:34:02
bicycle that you might have had and a
00:34:04
movie or TV show that Lit you up and I'm
00:34:06
talking your formative years you know 5
00:34:09
to 12 13 years of age you have five
00:34:11
seconds that's a very good question I
00:34:14
remember I got an easel that I liked and
00:34:18
some Creoles that I really liked I see
00:34:21
my kid one of them is particularly just
00:34:23
obsessed with making marks on things he
00:34:25
loves them painting I got a sheriff that
00:34:28
would [ __ ] that would automatically
00:34:30
shoot you and some guns with plastic
00:34:33
bullets and and if you got him before he
00:34:35
got his guns up you would win this
00:34:37
showdown I like that oh a helmet my dad
00:34:41
took me to every Steelers game in
00:34:44
Pittsburgh uh a home game we had season

theater to see movies yeah you know uh
00:36:59
um the way they are client used to do

00:37:04
the movie theaters instead of on TV I
00:37:06
was I've been going on for the last
