00:00:00
were you guys both there when Michael
00:00:01
Jordan hosted the show oh yeah was he in
00:00:04
that Monday meeting yeah he had it was
00:00:06
there did the whole the whole run of the
00:00:08
whole thing was there uh were there any
00:00:10
buffer people who were like oh no yeah
00:00:12
Michael's not going to do that Michael
00:00:13
will do that or was it just Michael
00:00:15
remember are the buffer people allowed
00:00:17
in those meetings because we deal with
00:00:18
tougher people a lot sure and the buffer
00:00:21
people often demand uh do a disservice
00:00:24
to the the people who are who need to
00:00:27
get the laughs on the show where they
00:00:29
never hear the actual idea yeah they
00:00:30
never hear it turn down before it gets
00:00:32
to them you can't do that because he was
00:00:33
divorced in 1975 and you're like this
00:00:36
doesn't really have anything to do you
00:00:37
think it's funny let him decide well the
00:00:39
really fascinating thing for me that
00:00:40
week with Michael Jordan was that you
00:00:42
know it's a fish out of water the
00:00:44
greatest player ever but he's got a lot
00:00:46
of sketches and we're about to go out in
00:00:48
the live show in a sketch and he's got
00:00:50
some heavy dialogue and you're behind
00:00:52
the slats the band's playing the
00:00:53
audience is there and I could tell you
00:00:56
know he had the script in his hand for
00:00:57
last minute jamming and I could tell you
00:00:59
how kind of had cottonmouth it was a
00:01:01
little tense I said Michael just go out
00:01:03
there and read it right off the cue card
00:01:05
Christopher Walken does it don't even
00:01:07
worry about that and it kind of trying
00:01:09
to calm Michael Jordan down about
00:01:11
anything was it unique to just sting too
00:01:13
sting would be like how's my hair we're
00:01:15
going into an elevator sketch how's it
00:01:17
now I like staying in here how about
00:01:19
that now it looked better before [ __ ]
00:01:21
but um who is the most nervous of the
00:01:25
hosts Rosanna Arquette rosanna's most
00:01:27
nervous she was a good actual she was
00:01:31
great but I remember you'd hear that
00:01:33
someone was sobbing somewhere yeah and
00:01:36
whatever host full nervous breakdown was
00:01:38
broken down with Steven Seagal you would
00:01:40
just go by his office and you just hear
00:01:42
you all you'd hear is
00:01:45
some woman having an orgasm that's all
00:01:49
you'd hear you'd go by and come out and
00:01:52
fluff up I hope there was a woman in
00:01:54
there I think sometimes Friday night is
00:01:56
the night to collapse if you were even
00:01:58
on the show even when it went back to
00:01:59
host Friday night is the night when the
00:02:01
hosts go you're joking the sets aren't
00:02:03
even all built yet and all the lines are
00:02:06
different from read through we haven't
00:02:08
even rehearsed all of them once the show
00:02:10
is tomorrow and that's if they cry or
00:02:11
have a a breakdown because they go we
00:02:13
can't do this and I was like so rarely
00:02:16
it seems like it should happen more oh
00:02:18
every almost every Saturday night
00:02:19
especially the dress shows would go
00:02:22
longer and longer where you're still
00:02:24
doing the practice show it's like 10 45
00:02:26
and the real show goes on 45 minutes I
00:02:28
go if they're going to put up an old
00:02:30
movie tonight we're never gonna make it
00:02:32
this is the worst when you start hoping
00:02:35
for an earthquake or something anything
00:02:36
preemption of some kind Jim Downing had
00:02:39
such add he would write really really
00:02:42
well like at 11.
00:02:44
like right outside the office he needed
00:02:46
to get right he needed to be no you
00:02:48
cannot procrastinate for one more second
00:02:50
you give you five gems it like or they'd
00:02:53
say it's in the cards when you're going
00:02:55
on to a set it'll be in the card so
00:02:57
you're gonna live right that's how I
00:02:58
order dinner I do I look at the menu and
00:03:00
everybody orders they come to me last
00:03:02
I'm like okay I'll have the Branzino I
00:03:04
have to order now yeah time's up yeah
00:03:06
some of these people though I'm looking
00:03:08
through a list of um some of the people
00:03:10
who hosted the shows when you were both
00:03:13
on and um some of these people like
00:03:17
have no business hosting a show like
00:03:19
this I mean really I think this might
00:03:21
have been right before you were on David
00:03:24
but George Steinbrenner hosted the show
00:03:26
with Morris Day and The Time boy I love
00:03:29
more stages funny combos like that
00:03:31
Steinbrenner is a New York institution
00:03:33
and that's what Lauren if you're New
00:03:36
York Centric someone from a play can get
00:03:38
it he loves New York and his friends are
00:03:40
from New York so he likes to go we got
00:03:42
you know the lead from but there was a
00:03:45
run there where we had
00:03:50
here's the secret of the show in my
00:03:52
opinion I figured it out yesterday uh
00:03:55
when it's good it's good when it's bad
00:03:58
it's good so you're watching this
00:04:00
billionaire owner of a baseball team try
00:04:02
to do sketch comedy and he sucks not his
00:04:05
fault I find that really compelling
00:04:08
to watch live and watch people do you
00:04:11
find it disheartening when Kim
00:04:12
Kardashian is on and she's funny and you
00:04:14
go oh okay where are we now I mean I saw
00:04:18
her monologue and said what the [ __ ]
00:04:20
yeah like what are we are we
00:04:21
ventriloquist puppets yeah well here's
00:04:24
the thing when you when you become that
00:04:27
famous and your comedy bit is all about
00:04:30
the entire audience knows what you're
00:04:32
talking about but she landed that
00:04:34
beautifully and Chris Rock did say
00:04:37
monologue of the year
00:04:39
about Kim Kardashian yeah it was really
00:04:41
good it was just crushed also it's out
00:04:43
of nowhere so you get extra points yeah
00:04:44
because she scored so hard a part of me
00:04:46
did die
