2 bits, 4 bits, six bits. I gotta get rid of these dogs. Welcome to Comedy Bang Bang. Thank you to Bosco T. Jones for that catchphrase submission. I was able to say it. That's a plus. I've been having trouble saying the catchphrases recently that are submitted. So that one came out of me.

Usually I trip over the last third on one of the words, but I was able to say it. I don't know that I can say this every single episode, you know? Two bits, four bits, six bits. See? Then I said, bicks. Yeah. Get out of here, Bosco T. Jones. I'm not going to do it. Thank you for your submission though. Wonderful to have you submit a catchphrase. The hunt continues. But welcome to Company Bang Bang for another week. We have an exceptional episode coming up a little later. We have a child. Just a child. Okay. We also have a talent wrangler. Okay. Well,

we have some talent on this show, certainly, because I want to introduce him. He is our first guest on the show. He is entering the exclusive Two Timers Club on the show. Of course he was on the TV show once, but you know him from such movies as Deadpool 2. If you... Is that the first credit you... Blink and miss me, Deadpool 2. It was the first one I just looked down on. But you know him as Wash on Firefly in Serenity, of course.

He's in... Does a voice on every Disney animated movie, I believe, that's been released in the last eight years, 10 years? 15. 15 years. Yeah. You're like the Cliff Claven of Disney. Yeah, well, and we'll get to that in a second.

I know we talked about that last time. I don't wanna repeat our exact conversation. You're entering into the two-timers club. Yeah. I want this to be new stuff. Okay, cool. I got some new material. And he has hit the fourth season of his show,

Resident Alien is out now, And he has hit the fourth season of his show, Resident Alien is out now, but people will basically remember him as Ray Starsky from the Christmas episode of Comedy Bang Bang. Exactly. The Lonely Island episode from season two, of course. Please welcome back to the show in the Two-Timer's Club, Alan Tudyk.

Thank you very much. How are you? Great to see you again. Thank you, it's good to be here. It's good to see you as well. Yeah. Now you were last on six years ago and you were talking about a play. How did that go?

It went wonderfully. Let me refresh your memory. Was it, I think it was- Mysterious circumstances? Mysterious circumstances, yes. How did it go? It went really well. It was my first play and now only play in Los Angeles.

They haven't had me back in any of the plays. Was it like the band that I used to be in where they broke up and reformed without me? Did everyone else in the play start a different play, but you were the only person who didn't come back? I have been back to the theater and have seen some of my fellow castmates in other productions.

So they moved on without you. They did. Wow. They did. Can't believe it. But it's okay. It was like a special role. I got to play two characters within it and it was all about Sherlock Holmes.

Did you play Holmes? And I know we must have talked about this six years ago, but the facts of it elude me at this point. Me too. Were you Holmes and Watson? Because that would be hard because they talk to each other. No, I was Holmes and the foremost Sherlock Holmes collector of things and, and I'm saying that- In the modern era or? Well, he was in the modern era,

but he was killed mysteriously. What the? And then Sherlock Holmes shows up to solve the crime of the guy who died. I gotta see this show. Are you still gonna do it or? No, no, no. That was six years ago.

That was six years ago. I've moved on as well, but it was- Really? Yeah, surprisingly. You haven't. I've moved on as well, but it was like. Really? Yeah, surprisingly. You haven't thought about this every single night since? Yeah. I'm trying to remember character names and things.

The reason I bring it up, I was like, oh yeah, Alan's been on the show before, Resident Alien. He must've been promoting that. Then I looked it up and I was like, oh, it was six years ago. Oh, you're one of the, I've talked about the hierarchy of podcast guests here. Of course we love our movie stars. Right. TV stars, hey, great, we'll take them.

Then you go to a comedian with a special. Oh. Getting a little dodgier. Oh no. Then authors and then every once in a while we're forced to take them, a fellow podcaster. Oh my God. Oh God. Jeez, man.

But I was like, oh wow, so Alan, he's a TV star for Resident Alien, he must've been promoting that, but then you threw a monkey into my hierarchy with Guy in Play? I don't even know where to rank that. Yeah, man. It's somewhere below novelist, I'm fairly sure. Probably, might be below podcaster, I don't know, but. No, it is I'm sure. I'm sure. I'm sure.

I'm sure. I'm sure. I'm sure. I'm sure. I'm sure. I'm sure. I'm sure. I'm sure.

I'm sure. I'm sure. I'm sure. I'm sure. I'm sure. I'm sure. I'm sure. I'm sure.

I'm sure. I'm sure. I'm sure. I'm sure. I'm sure. I'm. That's very impossible. I haven't been keeping track of things in New York. Speaking of musicals though, do you sing, Jeremy Piven? Do you, that's an inside joke. Do you sing, could you be in musicals? No.

You don't sing. It's so interesting. No. Because you're such an exceptional mimic and voice artist. You can control your voice so dynamically. I would think that you would be able to sing as well. You would think, and I was in a musical on Broadway.

Which one? Spamalot. You have a Spamalot energy. Yeah, well, Hank's area originated the role of, it's multiple roles again, it was Lancelot and- You're a multiple role guy. Yeah, that's me. I've been, from the nineties I've been-

What if you only played one role in every, you still got to be in all the movies and TV shows you've ever done, but it had to be one role like Richard Belzer. Would it still be as satisfying? I don't know. I don't think so. Cause you're a multiple role guy.

Exactly. It's much more fulfilling. I played, you know, I did a bunch of stuff in it, but I sang what Hank could sing, and no offense, because Hank can, he's actually touring with like a Bruce Springsteen. Is he part of the E Street band now? No, he does a cover band and a single like. Sort of like what Michael Shannon does with REM?

Yes.E.M. or? Pete Slauson Yes. Jared Sussman Okay. Pete Slauson Last time I ran into him in New York and he was doing that. And so I did everything. I had to... Jared Sussman To be a rich movie or TV actor and just tour around the country singing songs. Pete Slauson Whatever you want. I always wanted to be this.

Jared Sussman Yeah. God damn it. Pete Slauson Yeah. Jared Sussman So, you were able to sing what he was able to sing, which is no offense, not as challenging as... Right. Right. The guy, Chris Sieber, who played Galahad, he is a brilliant musical theater artist and can sing and can hammer his voice and it still comes out clear.

I had to be on, like I couldn't go to restaurants because if you had to talk over a din, then I would lose all ability. Lose your voice? What about that thing, like I've seen that every Broadway actor uses it now. It's the thing you put over your face now and you breathe in like fumes and stuff like that at night before you go to bed. This was early Spamalot. We didn't have these things back then. I know, it didn't exist. We just had to do just, you know, steroid injections in the throat in the back alley

behind the theater. Me and Harvey Fierstein. Give me some juice. Is he still doing his show? Is it one man show back then? No, he does, he did a Fiddler, he did a- Oh, that's right, yes. He's more, he's more writing now. Yes.

I look, look, his show was great. Clinky Boots. Harvey Fierstein. I love, I love John Lovitz's impression of him. I just want to be loved. Is that so wrong? One of the greats. And of course, so you've done Broadway.

Yes. But now we're talking about TV stars. You've, you've bounced back from this play business and you're, you're a TV star. You've been on TV for a long time. You've been on TV for a long time. You've been on TV for a long time. You've been on TV for a long time. You've been on TV for a long time.

You've been on TV for a long time. You've been on TV for a long time. You've been on TV for a long time. You've been on TV for a long time. You've been on TV for a long time. You've been on TV for a long time. You've course, so you've done Broadway. Yes. But now we're talking about TV stars. You've bounced back from this play business. Yeah. You're back on TV. Finally.

It's gotta feel good, right? Yeah, sure. Yes, it does. It does, especially in the current climate. Yes, it's great to have a show, especially a show for four seasons with this many episodes. Right. Season two was like 16 episodes. How many episodes a year do you do? It's changed every year, every season. So the first season was 10, and then they went,

you know what? We can save money because it's a broadcast. It was on Syfy and now it's on USA. But when it was on Syfy, they said- United States of America. Yes, I know. Just right when that brand is hitting, we moved over to USA. It's really strong, strong brand. So they said we can save money if we just make a bunch more episodes. So we made 16 and then the pandemic hit, no, the pandemic hit the first one.

And then we did 16 and that was a lot. And then we- That's like was a lot and then we... That's like old school television. That's like ER days and stuff. Almost. It's almost. Those guys, I don't know how they do it. But then there was the strike. You like to relax and chill, right? I've always gotten that sense of you. I do and I don't do it as much as I should. You should. I'm here to tell you, you need to take a take a brief. I'm looking at your resume here.

There's just too much stuff on it. Yeah, I agree. You know what I mean? Let's pair it down. I have begun, now that Resident Alien is over, turning down jobs. Now this is the last season of Resident Alien, is that true? I don't think we're saying that.

Okay, great. But again, in this climate, you never know. You never know. A show can always come back. I wouldn't be surprised if at some point the people at IFC reach out to me about my old TV show. Yeah. I actually would be surprised.

At this point, I wouldn't have been surprised four years ago. Is IFC still around? I don't think it's still a going concern at this point. I think they were doing documentary now every five years and I think they've closed up shop over there. Doesn't mean they don't wanna keep it on their own streaming service and not license it anymore anywhere else. But now let's talk about Resident Alien,

unless you wanna keep talking about my show. We're great on it. or anywhere else. But now, let's talk about Resident Alien, unless you want to keep talking about my show. You were great on it. We can, thank you, thank you. Crawling around in the ducts. I agree, I was worried, I was worried about my performance and I really liked it when I saw it.

It was really fun. I liked me, wow. It was a great episode too, the lonely island guys. Yeah. Yeah, but let's talk about Resident Alien, season four out now, by all accounts you play a character named Harry Vander Spiegel. Yes.

Yes. Yeah, he's, well, he was a man and then an alien comes down and this goes back to season one where the alien kills the man and takes his identity. He is able to shift the atoms around and he is now this guy. He's sort of like John Jones in the DC universe, the Martian man hunter. Yep, and I haven't gotten around to that one,

that book. Okay. That book, but I'm gonna say yep. Yep. Because it sounds like it. This is similarly based on a comic book. It is, yeah, it's a graphic novel. How does the alien come down and kill the first guy? I know this is all spoilers for Resident Alien,

but it's not too gruesome, is it? No, no, no. To behead him? No, he was- Heis's style? He was just coming down to kill all the humans. Oh no. Yeah, he just sawed his head off with like one of those Rambo knives.

He was just coming here to drop a bomb to kill all the humans and leave Earth intact. That's all he was doing? That's all he was doing. Yeah. But he crash landed and then finds himself in this house. He decided to go one at a time. Yeah. He's got to get his hands dirty.

A little slower, but he had that bloodlust. Yeah. Yeah. So he, the guy hits him. I mean, the Harry Vanderspeel hits him with a fireplace poker. So he started it. He started it, yeah. Then I just-

Was he breaking and entering? Was it a B and E first? I was B and E-ing, yeah. So you started it. I did, you're right, you're right. It's his own home, stand your ground laws. Yeah, and then, well, it turns out that he wasn't a nice guy anyway, but I- Okay, you're right. It's his own home, stand your ground laws. Yeah, and then, well, it turns out that he wasn't a nice guy anyway, but I-

Okay, that's good. I throw him off a balcony and kill him. I strangle him a bit and then I throw him off a balcony. Jesus Christ. Yeah, and then I take over his identity and then I'm in this little town of patients. And we root for you. Yes, wildly.

Well, the guy's not a nice guy, right? What do we find? To mitigate it, I'm sure you find out certain things about- As the season goes on, yeah, you do start to find these stuff. So we're like, okay, that was a little gruesome. Do you think though, I know you know the ending of the series, which is out now, does he eventually have to pay for his crimes? Is he executed?

No. No, he's in, I don't want, no spoilers, but he is not executed. Although there is a threat of it at one point, but you know, he tries to kill a boy for a while, this little kid for most of the seasons. What? Yeah. Oh, he's trying to kill this kid. He's number one. He just wants to kill him, but the kid's smarter than him. Judah Prane. He was so cute when he started out. And now he's a handsome young, like 13 year old.

Yeah, he's 13. His voice has shifted into something new. I feel like with kid actors, you gotta write the entire like four or five seasons, get them to film it all while they're still cute and then send them on their way. Well, he's still cute, but to a different. Yes, in a different level.

In a different way. We should, we wanna mitigate, or we want to clarify that the kid is still very cute, just in a more manly way at this point. Right, and to this equally young ladies of his- Yes, certainly. Home room, I'm guessing. This would all embarrass him, so that's why I'm glad we got it. Hopefully he's not listening. What's his name though? We want his fans.

Judah. Judah Prane. Judah Prane. If you're listening there, just tag Judah Prane. It's on social media to listen to this. But is part of the show that you go around solving crimes as well? We do solve some crimes. And these are big crimes? These are not like shoplifting or? One is who killed, there was a doctor. So when I first land, so I'm out in this cabin

and they come and get this doctor out in this cabin. And they're like, it's a small town of patients. It's like, what is this doctor still doing here? And she's like, I don't know. They always say he leaves before wintertime, but he's been here all winter. And he's like, well, there he is. He's out on his boat.

And they call me in and they say, you're a doctor. And he's like, just use your doctor in town. They're like, we need to see what happened. There was a murder. And he's like, use the doctor in town. And I'm like, that's who murdered, that's who's murdered. So now I become the town doctor. And that's why I got to figure out who killed him.

Right. So you, did you or? Turns out it was the guy I killed. Whoa! Yep. Yep. Pretty, pretty. Nice.

Pretty good, pretty good. That's season one. That's good, right? That's just season one. That's just season one. It's a pretty sweet season. So, and then in this season, I watched a little bit of the first episode.

And you're, okay, now I'm gonna ask a question. I'm gonna see if I actually did watch it because I'm confused. Are you trapped in a prison? I am, I am a prison on the moon. Prison on the moon. Is this a prison that Earthlings have constructed

or other alien races? Gray aliens, the ones that we all know about the ones- The Martians. Yeah, the ones that do- Yeah, yeah, yeah, got it. And so they are not satisfied with just sticking things up people's rectums. They want to build prisons now?

They're getting into the prison industrial complex? They steal babies. That's their whole thing. What? Yes, they steal babies. They steal babies. To what end? I don't know that I can say. Okay.

That is a spoiler, but it does come out this season. Whoa, okay. So they've been stealing babies for now three seasons and you don't know that I can say. That is a spoiler, but it does come out this season. Whoa, okay, so they've been stealing babies for now three seasons and you don't know why? Are babies just missing all the time? Some people have realized they had been abducted when they were younger, so they were babies that were stolen. And are they returned as full grown adults or?

Some are returned as full grown adults, yes. Whoa, and they're just like, oh my God. Yeah, some are never returned. This show sounds dynamite. Yeah. I gotta catch up from the beginning. How many episodes we say? 26, 36, probably 46 or so?

Yeah. Wow. I think that's it. You can watch that in less than two days. Yes, but please don't. Because in this climate, you know, it's so hard to make a TV show. I directed the first two episodes this season.

Did you really? Yeah. Holy shit, how was that? Is this the first thing you've directed? I would say yes, even though it is. I directed a small thing for the internet and I leaned very heavily on my DP. This was an hour long show

and very, very different from a little thing. Right, and you kicked your DP of this off the set, right? Well we could be on the set just at different times, just not allowed to share the same... Odd couple style, you just taped down the middle of it. Yep. It worked really well. I'll take this half of the camera lens, you take that half. Yeah it was a very big challenge man, it was so much because what we did was we cross-bored,

so it was two episodes, so two hours, and we shot that in 15 days. Two hours. Two hours in 15 days, whoa. And that is, and then I was acting in it. That's even harder. In the beginning, I play two aliens. There's another alien who's taking my place

while I'm up in prison, so I would have scenes where I'm two different aliens. And directing. And then I'm directing, yeah. Did you ever think to say like, hey, can I just not act in this one? And I'll just direct it. You get some other guy to play my character.

He changes shapes. They don't think anybody else can play this role but me. And I don't want to disembowel them. That's a valuable position to be in, honestly. I don't want to convince them otherwise. So how did you like it? Is it something that you want to get into? Hmm, I think I would like to do a movie.

I would like to do a short film. I want to go backwards now. I want to do a short film, a short. Let me do a short. And that is like a beginning and an end. When you're doing a show and you're directing, you're directing, but also- There's a sort of system in place

where everyone knows how these things are already made. And for ease to get directors in and out, they kind of have the way that they shoot them already set up. Right, there's a set style to things. And you can get overridden on ideas and things like that in a way that I'm sure you do on films.

But the edit, look, I don't wanna say this. Are you recording this? To be honest, I don't know. I've had some issues in the past with the recording. But yeah, basically in TV, the director doesn't have a lot of the power that he does in film where it's kind of taken away and someone else edits it, and you get it back and go like,

oh, interesting choices, I wouldn't have made that choice. Here's one, here's one. Just so young directors out there who don't know, here's an idea that I didn't know this could be done. And I'll point the finger at NBC, because they're huge, and who is that? Sure. Um.

Dong, dong, dong. Dong. That NBC. The National Broadcasting Corporation. I was watching a scene and I'm like, there's another character here. Where's the character that was here? They just took a character completely out of a scene. They took, he had a little bitty like, a little cameo thing where he comes in and has a little,

he looks and kind of waves and gets out and they're like, yeah, we didn't like that so we got rid of it. But let me just get clarity on, you put a scene where a guy just walks in, looks at the camera and waves and walks out. Nothing wrong with that. I mean, I don't know who to root for in this situation. I'm breaking boundaries.

This is new ground, man. Yeah. It was somebody who, in the context it was. It meant something at the time, but I mean, that's the problem with directing sometimes is you just gotta, for time, for clarity of story, you just kinda gotta lose some of those things. Yeah, and if you burn too much, you know, if somebody, let's say an actor,

I have a different relationship with actors now too. Yeah. I think actors, as you, when you're making something, like it was sort of like making a movie, making these two episodes together, you have a team of people, the pre-production, all these people who come together to make it happen.

There's a thing called show and tell, a prop show and tell, where you go through a table that has every prop you're going to use in the episode. So look at this toothbrush, is this the toothbrush you wanted? No, no, no. Because when you're on set, it's so expensive that you need to take care of all of these decisions

beforehand so that you don't get to the set and then you have to waste 20 minutes while someone finds a better toothbrush. Right. So there's a lot of conversations about like, is that the toothbrush't get to the set and then you have to waste 20 minutes while someone finds a better toothbrush. Right. So there's a lot of conversations about like, is that the toothbrush we have to have? Why is it wide on the back? It needs to be thinner in all the things you figure out. So there's so many people come together,

this is how we're gonna do it, we gotta, it's gonna be a tough day, you start out your day, you're the first one there. Oh my gosh. And then the actor's kind of swan on. Drinkin' like coconut water with headphones in, and then like put more makeup on me. And it's like, didn't you already have so much makeup on?

There's so much, and you've had all morning to do this. Requested more makeup when I've been in the chair. Last looks, cause then they come in for last looks to make sure that it's all perfect. And cause this is ultimately network television and there is a standard. But- Everyone has great hair when they're on a TV show.

And they all have these like working class jobs and I'm like, you've just spent three hours in hair and makeup. How did you do it before you got to work today? Yeah, or they wake up in the morning, full face of makeup. That's a good one. Yeah, just shake their hair out. Yeah.

Except the English TV shows that you'll see on the streamers, I love those. They're all messed up. They look like people. Oh man, that would be so great to do one of those, right? You do four or six episodes and then you just like take the rest of the year off. They pay terribly.

Oh right. In this climate, it's okay. I did a film in England a long time ago called Death at a Funeral. There's an English one, there's an American one, I'm in the English one. And I remember getting last looks from my makeup artist and hair,

because they're one person in England. And they're like last looks, and she was way across this field. And she put her hand over her eyes, like she's on the- Squinted. Yeah, squinted like she's on the prow of a ship spotting land and goes,

yeah, you're all right. Like. Like. That's the level of attention to detail that the English have when they're putting things together. Yeah, what do you want more for? Come on. Speaking of England,

I wonder if you filmed this in England, but we saw your return to the Star Wars universe with Andor this season. You play K-2SO and fans were so excited to see your back because you're in the movie Rogue One and Andor is a prequel. And so people were like, do we get to see? And then man, when all those robots popped up, it's like, oh, I think he might be one of them. And yeah, and you were in a good like four episodes in the back or so. Two, but it was so much.

So much content. That it felt like four, yeah. But that character is so funny and you're so funny in it. Thank you, man. And great to have you back. Was that a thrill to get that call of like, yay, I'm back in Andor? Yes, it was.

But there were two calls. There was the, you're back in Andor in the last two seasons you're gonna be in. So don't freak out when you're not in Andor. We're doing five seasons and then you'll be in the last two. And then they did the first season, it took almost three years to make. And they went, all right,

so we're not doing five seasons of this, of course, Andor is gonna be 60 when we get to the prequel, you know, going into Rogue One. He actually looks pretty much the same. Because I rolled right into Rogue One after watching Andor and I was like, this dude doesn't age, look at this guy. Yeah, he did all right. Yeah.

He would probably quibble with you, but yeah. Yeah, but it's great to have your character back in there. And it's so funny to watch Rogue One right afterwards because Felicity Jones gets, she's like has as big a part as Andor in the movie Rogue One. And you're like, I've just spent like 24 hours with Andorra. I know him really well. Who are you? So I want to see a prequel series of her character now

with two seasons. And then we see how they link up. What do you think? I like it. Cause then she would have her Saw Gerrera years with yeah, Forest Whitaker. That would be amazing. And then you then you watch Rogue One,

it would make sense of like, oh, these two people that we know so well are finally meeting up. That would be amazing. And then you watch Rogue One, it would make sense of like, oh, these two people that we know so well are finally meeting up. That would be great. Yes. Can you get me this job? I was just at ILM. I don't mean I want to write or make it.

I just want to be in charge of it. Oh, I think that job is available. Yeah, it is. I've been able to do a lot of some stuff with him recently. Yeah, you said you were just at- ILM. At ILM, yeah. And what were you doing?

I was with Tony Gilroy doing just sort of promotional stuff for, they're doing a big Emmy campaign. For Andor. For Andor. And I've never done one of those before, I realized when I was doing that one because it is different. You've never done, you've never been,

I'm trying to think of something you would have done. I mean, I guess Firefly. No, they canceled this. Yeah. So things that I've done have either been, have been, oh, they've been canceled. They've been canceled. Yeah, they've been canceled.

And there haven't been, there's never been a moment, I've never been on a show that's been like, while it's on, people like it. Firefly got big after it was over. And that was kind of one of the reasons why it got big was because like, why would you cancel this? You idiot. I mean, I tried to get you out there for your episode of Comedy Bang Bang as guest star, but then I found out they didn't even submit me for the show. Maybe it might've been a bone of contention between the network and I.

I'm living a similar life with Resident Alien. But you go and you do these showings of episodes and then you talk and you get to answer questions that fans have, but they've gotten really, and doing it with Tony Gilroy, he's very candid and just talks about the whole process and how hard it was. Just, yeah, easy.

It's fun to listen to. I learned a lot. It's an insane easy. It's fun to listen to. I learned a lot. It's an insane show. It's so good. It really, really is. I think it's an important show. I can't believe it's ruined other shows for me. Now I watch other shows that I used to like,

then I'm like, what is this crap? Yeah. This is, you can't, no, this is, this is. It's like I can't watch The Circle without going like, this is an Andor, you know? What's The Circle? Is that Netflix reality show or they're all trapped in an apartment building?

I don't watch those shows. I don't watch. Oh, Mr. Classy over here. I don't watch any reality shows. Any reality shows? None, none. Yeah, I know. I can't, I don't, it makes, if it's, yeah, no. What do you do for fun?

What does Alan do for fun? I go hiking. Really? I do that. I go hiking with my wife and my dogs. Okay, that's fun, I guess, for like one hour. How do you feel with the rest of the day? We've been living in Vancouver for the last several years

doing Resident Alien. So a lot of the hiking is like three, four hours. Oh, okay. Yeah. There's bears. You see bears on your path. That sounds terrible. It was a little scary.

It's only happened once. How are you still alive? I know. Because a biker came up and he's like, there's a bear behind me. And then it turned the corner. It's this massive bear just walking towards the black bear, walking towards us on the path, this skinny little path. And he goes, I'm sorry, I've led him to you. Because he was going to get away. He had a bike. And my wife, who is Canadian, goes, oh, it's a black bear, so we just have

to scare it. And she goes, ah, like that. It was so cute. And the bear just like cringed and very politely walked off the trail into the woods. Cringed like embarrassed for her? Oh, I am so sorry. I didn't see you there. Oh, that is not a good look, honey. Like watching The Office? I'm going to leave you to whatever this is.

Well, this sounds fun. You're in this big television show that's done 46 episodes. Season four of Resident Alien is out now. Do you have anything on the horizon that, that we can talk about? Oh, I'm going to be in Superman. Oh shit, that's right.

I'm a, I'm a robot again. I do robots and aliens. Yeah. And you do, and you do animals in the movies where you're the only white person. Like Raya and Moana. You crack the code on that. They're like, we need Helen in this. He can't play one of the characters.

Let's make him a chicken. Yep. Buk, buk, buk, buk, buk. Yep. How did you get involved in this of like, why are you the good luck charm for Disney? My God, it was just, I did Wreck-It Ralph where I played King Candy.

Who's, you know, this guy who sounded like Ed Wynn. They said we'd like him to pattern him after Ed Wynn, the vaudevillian actor. And- And you said, okay, I'll just do Ed Wynn. Yes. Yes, I can do that. Pattern? Yes. Here it is. And after the, okay, I'll just do Edwin. Yes, yes, I can do that. Yes, here it is.

And after the read through, John Lasseter was like, man, it is good to meet you. And he said it in this weird way that was like, that it like made me go, ooh, that's a, I think that was a good thing, the way he said that. Yeah, that seems like pretentious. Yes, and it certainly was because then they put me in Frozen,

this movie that they had on the shelf for a while, this script that they're like, I don't know, we don't know what we're doing with this. And they're like, well, let's pull it and let's make a musical. And they said, play this old man who's the Duke of Westleton, who's in there, who dances like a chicken with the face of a monkey, I fly. It's on regular rotation in this house with my daughter. Yeah, so that guy.

And then they, after that, they said, and I think it was last year, it was like, Alan's our good luck charm. I was like, yep, uh-huh. I certainly am. Gosh, yes, that's exactly what did that. And so is it just how, as someone who is a working actor who now has a career where I'm looking at your resume

here, you're in too much stuff, save some for the rest of us, but what would you say to aspiring actors out there, what is the secret of your success? Do you come prepared? Are you pleasant to work with? What do you mainly, because that was my experience with you, but what do you mainly you want the impression to be of you

when you leave a set? I think you definitely have to be pleasant to work with because that's how you get cast. After people will see you and they'll go, oh, you know what, if somebody sees you in that thing, they'll call, people know each other. So they can call the person who hired you and say, what were they like on set? And then that's your who hired you and say, what were they like on set?

And then that's your green light or your- So what are you like on set? Are you just like a chill dude or what, or- It depends on the set, you know? And Resident Alien, I'm much more involved because I've been doing it for so long and I'm the lead. And so if I have ideas, I voice them and talk with Chris about them, Chris Sheridan who created the show. And I've already, we're already working on the Before We

Get There. So yeah, I'm pretty easy going. When it's a show that I'm supporting and I'm a guest on somebody's show, I tend to be, you know, thankful to be there. Yeah. I mean, on the Comedy Bang Bang TV shows, just a straight offer. We're, you know, fan of your work, obviously, and so we just offered it to you. We rolled the dice on that one. You took it. I don't think you'd seen the show or anything like that, but maybe you heard who was involved or something. I had seen it. I had seen it. You'd seen it. And then...

I knew who you were. Oh. And I was a fan of Reggie. Yeah, and so you just, and you showed up, you were prepared, you knew all your lines, and which on that show, it sounds like that shouldn't be a compliment, but you were in the top 10% of people we cast on that show.

You knew all your lines, you came, you were funny, you were prepared, and you were a pleasant person to work with, and I think, you know, it does not surprise me to see that Disney keeps bringing you back, and everyone just wants to work with you. The cool thing about Disney, and this is something that in all voiceover stuff that I've found,

well, not all voiceover, most voiceover, they'll let you improv a lot. Like, you'll have like a four hour chunk of time to record and you are done in two hours and then you just play. And so much stuff comes out of that. They actually like it better. In fact, most of the animated movies that I was working on, the scripts weren't written yet.

So they were kind of relying on the actors to like improv a lot and lead them into like, oh, we don't have to write this line anymore. Yeah, exactly. Yeah. Um, well, uh, Alan, Resident Alien is out right now. People can see it on USA, the United States of America network. That's the one.

And you want people to be chanting USA and clapping as they watch. Well no, uh, chant USA up until the watch and then pause for that. And then once it ends, right back into it. Back into it the watch. Got it. And then pause for that. And then once it ends. Right back into it. Right back into it. Yeah. All right, we're gonna take a break. When we come back, we're gonna have more with Alan.

We're gonna have a child here. We also have a talent wrangler. This is an exciting show for you to be a part of. Oh my God, yes. All right, we're gonna take a break. We'll be right back with more Comedy Bang Bang after this. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Comedy Bang Bang, we're back. We have Alan Tudyk here of Resident Alien on USA. Do you know the night it's on every week? Oh, yes. It's the sweet spot.

Friday's at 11. Right after. So all the teens and adults are gone out of the house, and the kids who might be interested in genre program are already in bed. It's evidently USA's biggest night because they have wrestling. Oh, okay, so it's right after that. We're right after wrestling. That actually makes sense.

I wish that we had done some cross promotionalpromotional wrestling stuff with me, maybe wrestling someone as the alien. Killing the wrestlers. Ah, yes, something. I think that could have gone a long way. This is the old silk stockings time slot. If you remember that joke. Yes, Michael Jeter.

Oh, Michael Jeter, love him. Yeah. All right, let's get to our next guest. He is a child, but I know what you're asking. What child is this? Well, it's Landon. Please welcome Landon. Hi, Landon. Hey, Scott. How's it going? Is that what you sound like? Yeah, that's exactly how I sound like. Are you excited to have me? I am so excited to have you. This is Alan.

Hey, Alan. Hey, Landon. Yeah, Landon. Like land and then on. So it's, you're not to be confused with a fish or anything like that. Correct. That would be water in. Yes.

I'm land on. Yeah. Yeah, Landon. Landon, of course. Yeah, Landon. Do you have a piece of candy before we get started? Can I have a piece of candy? I, Alan, do you have a piece of candy? I, how would you have a piece of candy on you,

by any chance, in your pockets perhaps, or? No, I mean, I have a cough drop in my car. Oh, cough drop? Could you go get it? Any little piece of sugar would be really good to get me going. How far away did you park? Yeah, I don't think it's worth it. Okay. Okay.

Sucrets, you don't want that, it's not very sweet. Yeah, I'm afraid I don't keep a't want that. It's not very sweet. Mm-hmm. Yeah, I don't I'm afraid I don't keep a lot of candy here in the house. Okay Alright, okay. Well, I I apologize. That's okay if I had gotten some sort of advance from your people or whatever You're just a kid. Yeah, I don't really have a Vance PR team but yeah, but In any case wonderful to have you on the show thank you thank you so much so you don't have any sort of candy or sweet or sugar or juice or like a fruit a fruit you'd take fruits well candy fruit ideally no

I don't not even fruit not even fruit fruit what do you eat well usually I start out the day it's a little unconventional I know, but I break my fast from the night before. That is crazy. That's crazy. You know, the normal human being stuff. I'm certainly not an alien who's here on Earth. I eat Earthling food.

Yeah, it sounds like you're having a tough time coming up with anything besides candy. I'm thinking you have a lot of candy in the house and you just don't want to tell me about it. I don't, I don't, I- Is it okay if I walk around a little? I guess so. Just sort of take the mic and check the room? Yeah, sure.

You want to walk around? Are we going to hear your footsteps as you walk around? No, they're little. They're too little. You wouldn't hear them. Take one step and let me hear if I can hear it. Beep. I did hear a little something. Hey, what is this over here?

Uh, I don't I I can't quite get a. It's just a dust bunny. Yeah, I thought it was going to be candy. I almost licked the floor. Please don't do that, Landon. OK, why not? Is there candy all over it? Hidden?

No. Drugs? Scott? There aren't drugs here either. It's just dirt tends to, there is such a thing as gravity and dirt tends to fall on the ground. If you were to lick the ceiling, I think there would be less dirt, ironically.

Okay. I don't know why that would be. Landon, you might have an addiction. Has anybody ever said that? You think? Yes, sugar can be very addictive. I didn't know that. No, might have an addiction is that you have you ever said that yes sugar can be very Addictive I didn't know that no I know but I like it. I mean I love it. Okay. What's that? I'm you guys ate sugar any sugar in your mouth in my mouth currently No, no, I am right. I'm actually on a cleanse right now. Oh, I'm I'm sugar-free

Mmm. Yeah, I Probably had some last night. I had a little bit of ice cream, I think. I love ice cream. What kind, Snickers? Snickerdoodle? Cinnamon? Nothing snicker related.

Shoot, shoot! Scott, I got a mind to come over there and kiss your mouth on the inside out just to see if there's sugar in it. I swear to you, that was about almost 24 hours ago. I haven't had any sugar at this point. I, I don't have any here in the recording studio.

This show stinks. Well. It stinks to be here. You wouldn't be the first to say that, but I think for the wrong reasons. Why do other people say it? What's the other problem? Cause it's a bad show.

Oh, okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, it stinks for two reasons then. No candy, no laughs. I haven't laughed once. Well, I apologize, but I mean, honestly. I think that might be the withdrawals. Yeah.

Could be. Yeah. Could be. What is a withdrawal? A withdrawal is when your system wants the thing that you're addicted to, but can't have it. And so you can be in a bad mood because of it. I am in a bad mood.

You can have mood swings up and down. I need it now. Oh my. Yeah, I'm about to do something bad. What are you gonna do? Color on the wall or? No, we just have these professionally done. No, these really?

This is professional. Okay. No offense. My dad works in paint. Well wait, have I met him before? I don't know, have you? No, no, he's not a character. Ringing a weird character. I don't know about your life, Scott. I'm getting pissed off. Landon, take a breath, see if you can manage your symptoms and tell us why you're here. I don't know why I'm here. I was dropped off and I want candy.

That's it. What are you looking for from me? Well, you're a guest on this talk show. I thought you came here to talk about something or? Well, you're the adult. Okay, he's got me there. Yeah. What do you talk about with kids?

I try, I mean, I'm not necessarily allowed to. Don't you have a kid? Oh, yeah, I have my, yeah, I'm allowed to talk to that one. Okay. Just one. You only get one kid a week. How often are you allowed to talk to your own kid? I talk to my kid pretty much every day. Oh, good. Yeah.

We got a one a day rule, plus vitamins. Plus vitamins. Is there any sugar in those vitamins? There are sugar in the, yeah. Where do you keep them? I do. I have what? Look, I have a cupboard over there. You're already walking towards it. I'm tiptoeing, Scott.

It was when we moved into this studio, there's one cupboard that has a padlock on it that we're not allowed I mean not we're not it's not that we're not allowed to open it. We just don't know the combination for it You don't know the combo at all. We don't know the combination first We've never been able to open this cupboard over here. So what if I just try every combo for the rest of the show? Yeah, starting with what I mean, it's a three one.. So one. One, two, one, two, three. Well, it's a three digit. Okay, so that'd be the first one. One, one, two, one, two, three.

So one, 12, and 123. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. I look at everything and I just say each one, but 12. 12, you're just gonna try 12? Yeah. Okay, put it in. Didn't work. Wow, that was fast this

sucks I'm sorry, but if yeah, maybe there's something in there. I have no idea if you want to keep trying converse. Okay. Yeah combinations rather I'll try come so I don't you try to conversation because you're a guest on the show What's up, baby? You want to open up for a little sugar kiss? Didn't work. Hmm. The lock doesn't open at all. Yeah. Look, do you have anything you wanted to talk about today other than sugar?

No, I didn't want to talk about anything. I literally want a piece of sugar or candy. Who dropped you off here? A guy, a driver. You have a driver? Yeah, a driver. On your, you have a driver? Yeah, a driver. On your payroll?

It's not my payroll. My parents put me in a car every morning. It takes me somewhere and then I look for candy and if I find some it was a good day. If I don't, they gotta hear about it. What do your parents do if you don't mind me asking? I don't know. I don't even know. I don't care. You've never asked them? I don't care. You never ask them? I don't care.

You don't care? I don't care. To me, they go to the candy factory. They buy the candy, they bring it home. That's what I think they're doing. Okay. I mean, maybe they do own a candy factory. It sounds like they're independently wealthy. It does sound like you come from a wealthy home. Although I guess anyone could probably afford a car and a driver. Don't you think? If they chose to spend their money on that. Yeah, I guess anyone could probably afford a car and a driver. Don't you think? If they chose to spend their money on that.

Yeah, I guess so. Well, you and I could probably at least go half on a driver. Yes, not a good driver, but you know, a driver. Yeah, I know a few drivers. I don't know their names, but I can give you like their numbers or something. You don't know their names, but you have their numbers. Yes, my parents give me very little info.

They just give you random numbers with no names attached? Yeah, and I dial it and I say, I hope this is a driver with candy. Normally it is. So it's a different person every day. Every day. Hmm, this sounds like an Uber.

Yes, maybe. No. I don't know a lot. You can definitely afford an Uber. I'm sort of one track minded. What do you wanna do with your life if you don't mind me asking? That's a good question. I mean, you seem like you have a good head on your shoulders. track minded. What do you want to do with your life? If you don't mind me asking.

That's a good question. I mean, you seem like you have a good head on your shoulders. Thank you. Vocabulary is pretty advanced. Thank you. I think for a 12 year. I agree. You have a deep voice.

Thank you. Light on your feet. It's kind of my other little thing. But you have a deep resonant voice. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. That sort of belies your age. Thank you, thank you, yeah. What do you envision for your life?

What's your five-year plan? Unnapping, chewing, swallowing, sucking, you know, and then, I don't know, get a job. What kind of job? I mean, look at Alan over here. He's an actor. That's pretty glamorous, right? Have you been on a red carpet or two? Have you not?

I have, yeah. Did you ever have any other jobs besides acting? I waited tables. Where did you wait tables? I waited tables in New York City. Really, which restaurant do you mind? At Harry's Burritos. Harry's Burritos.

Yeah, upon 71st, on Columbus, between 71st and 72nd. Sounds authentic. Yeah, it was not good. Yeah, Harry didn't make a good burrito. It was just okay. I don't know that I want Harry in a restaurant title. We did have very sweet margaritas though. If I had some sweet and sour to give you, I would.

Yeah, God, I would drink it, all of it, any of it. It's been a while now. So, I mean, you could be a waiter. I could be a waiter. You could be an actor. Okay. You could be a podcaster. No, no mean, you could be a waiter. I could be a waiter actor. Okay. You could be a podcaster. No, no.

Yeah. Okay. Good. All right. I heard the way you trashed them earlier. I don't want to be that. I'd rather be just a freaky kid who eats candy my whole life than a podcast. It sounds to me like instead of being on comedy, bang bang, like you should go

over on doughboys or something. I would love that. Cause they love that. That's all they do on that show. Is really junk and candy and stuff like that. Yeah, dang, that sounds really fucking good. Complain about it and rate it and stuff like that. Just go on Doughboys.

Okay, do you know them? I do, yeah. Give me mine, give them, give me their numbers. Okay, I'll also give you the names if that's okay. Perfect. Yeah, great. Yeah, write down anything on the paper that you want that'll get me over there and then I'll do that. Yeah, because this show is more of a show where I talk to people about their

careers or Hopes dreams and sounds to me like you don't care about anything other than a ride Andy You kind of wish I was someone else. Well, it's it's difficult to talk to you No, I know I know like last Alan was on, there was this guy by the name of Petey Tweety, who was an artisan sandwich maker. Oh, he was funny, I heard that one. Yeah, I remember that. What a smart guy that is.

Yeah, I can't remember what I talked to him about. Maybe tweets, maybe Twitter? Twitter? But he's an artisan sandwich maker. Yeah, he was a sandwich guy. No idea. Did you listen to that episode? I think I listened to it like you watched the episode of his show where you had to ask a question

even though, because you didn't really listen. You were there, but you weren't. Something else might have been. I was working while I was doing it. I'm usually on my phone or something. But that guy, it sounds like, even though I can't remember our conversation in the slightest, it sounds like there was I can't remember our conversation in the slightest

It sounds like there was more to talk to him about yeah, you might be right. You might be right Have you been trying combinations by the way? I tried a couple more. I tried one two five six Didn't work nothing Wow nothing. I would have thought that was it. I know me too try 69 69 I can't believe I didn't try that. Try it, yeah, try it out. 69, 69. Didn't open, why'd you tell me to do that? Oh, I just, that's what I would have done. That was just your guess.

Yeah, that would be my guess. You haven't guessed 69, 69? I mean, to be honest, I don't care what's in there. So I haven't even tried, but. Oh my God. Oh, try 0000. That's, from what I was reading, every hotel safe. That'll open it.

Zero, zero. If you're ever out there robbing hotels. Zero, zero. Didn't work. Didn't work. Damn. I think it's okay, Landon, that you don't have any sugar right now. I think after a couple of days,

you're gonna be a whole new kid. Yeah. Yeah. If you go through some detox detoxification What is that? What is that? No sugar for how long? How long do I have to be talks to feel normal? See and what I watched train spotting he does he does it for a week That's heroin, but you like for like a week or something, right? Yeah, it's pretty much sugar and heroin Yeah, about the same about the same. yeah. So like a week or something? I guess I could try.

I mean, I just met you guys. You'll change my whole life. Why not? Look, we're trying to have a positive impact. At Comedy Bang Bang, we have a new tagline, Comedy Bang Bang, we care. Wow. And I care about you, Landon.

I buy it. I buy it, I buy it. It's said with the utmost sincerity. We care, we care about our listeners, we care about our guests. And Landon, I buy it. It's said with the utmost sincerity. We care, we care about our listeners, we care about our guests, and Landon, I care about you and I want to see you succeed, not only in this detoxification effort, but also in life itself.

No problem. No problem. Try one two three four by the way one two three four Just more Flintstone vitamins These look like candy They have the trappings of a little piece of candy vibe. Okay, fine. Thank you. Okay.

Thank you, Scott. All right, well that'll get you through the show at least. Yeah, I'll eat the rest of these vitamins. I'll have the rest of the show. Fantastic. Great. Well, we have to take a break. Can you stick around?

I'd love to. Okay, fantastic. When we come back, we have a talent wrangler. This is an exciting show. A child who only likes candy and nothing else. And now a talent wrangler. we're going to come right back. We're going to have more Alan Tudyk. We're going to have more Landon.

We'll be right back with more comedy bang bang after this. Comedy bang bang. We're back. Alan Tudyk is here. Resident Alien season four out right now. We need to see what happens to this alien. Will he escape justice or will he go back Clapton Irons back to his home planet,

a disgrace for having failed his ultimate mission or is he successful at setting off a bomb that kills us all? Yeah, no, I'm not gonna do that. I just, I just, I mean that- You're not gonna do it. So if we watch the show and we get to episode 10, we're not in danger of a bomb going off and it kills us all. No, not it, not that.

This season, it's more about, will I get off of the, get out of jail and back to my home planet to save the earth from the mantid. The mantid. Yeah, there's an evil mantid alien that is the most dangerous alien in the universe and it's been let loose on Earth

Oh, no a virgin planet unspoiled by other mantids. Oh, okay. So and what am I it's like to do they like to have sex with Earthlings or they like to yeah, they like to mate They like to bite the heads off of people and any being any kind of any kind of being Yeah, we saw we saw saw, we only saw Mantid right at the end of season three. Shit. And it bit the head off of someone. No.

Yeah, the big pincers. They're like, they're like, yeah. Yeah, like... Praying mantises. Praying mantises. Sometimes I'll bite the head off just a little Sour Patch Kid. Or a Swedish fish.

You bit the head off of Fred Flintstone, I noticed. Sorry about that. Don't have to apologize. Sorry Fred, you're dead. Said you could have whatever you wanted. I guess it did give me a little pick me up. I am pretty happy. Yeah, you are kind of happy.

Yeah, the blue ones are delicious. They taste like blue. Yeah, like blueberries? Blueberry. Yeah, they're really good. These are really good, Scott. Okay, well I'm glad. I'm glad you're happy, finally. Good.

Good. We need to get to our next guest, though. She's a talent wrangler, and I wonder what side of the business she works in, but let's just talk to her. Please welcome Donna Waukee. Well, howdy, howdy, howdy. Howdy. Well, well, howdy.

Howdy. Hello, I am a talent wrangler. Donna is your name. Donna, Donna Waukee. Hi Donna, great to meet you. This is Alan. Hi, hi. This is Landon, who's a child.

Much obliged. Hi. Much obliged. And Landon didn't have anything to talk about other than candy. Seems like a thin premise maybe, but we worked with it. Well, I'm happy to talk to you later about Sour Patch Kids and whatnot. I'm happy to talk to you later about Sour Patch Kids and whatnot. I'm happy to be here.

Listen, I wish I could come here under better circumstances, you know? I'm a talent wrangler for New York Fashion Week, see? Oh, okay. My family's been talent wranglers for New York Fashion Week for years and years and years, decades even. And New York Fashion Week is the week where everyone goes to New York and looks at like

new dresses and shit like that? Yeah, exactly. Exactly. That's exactly what it is. Awesome. Those models, they go up and down the runway, but what you don't see is all the wrangling that happens beforehand. Yeah, what do you do?

What exactly do you do? And then we'll get to the circumstances, I guess. Of cold, I just remembered my circumstances. Oh no. Oh no. I hate that. Like sometimes that happens to me in the middle of the night, I remember my circumstances.

I was like, oh fuck. I was so excited. I was talking about my job and then I remembered, oh shoot, the conditions that I am in. Yeah, what's going on? Well, so, you know, to answer your question, I take the models from point A to point B, take them to the green room, take them to the stage,

take them back to their cars, I wrangle them all over the place and then when they're out on the catwalk, they're sailing free and they're all good. Got it, so this is a lot like wrangling steer or, you know. Yes, or sheep or dogs or anything of that nature really. It's a lot of the same calls too, you know, tweet, tweet, come by, come by,

Bella Hadid, come by, come by. And then we bring them in and they get to their enclosure and we have everything set up for them, you know, granola bars, cold press juice, anything. And then they just sort of graze while they're in there. Yeah, exactly, exactly. And then it comes time to lead them to the catwalk and you're the person to do that. And I take them right there. And never have I failed, but recently I have failed to wrangle the models.

What? This is unprecedented as far as I can tell after just talking to you for two minutes. You gleaned correctly. This has never happened before. What happened? You failed to wrangle? I failed to wrangle the models.

The models got loose. No. And they didn't make itangle the models. The models got loose. No. Ooh. And they didn't make it to the stage. Bella Hadid, missing. That seems to be the one model that you know by name. There are many more, but she's the alpha. Sure.

Oh, okay. She's the ringleader of the pack. She is the strongest one. They all defer to her. Okay. That's gotta just be making things crazy in New York. It's crazy in New York. Well, to be honest, that's why I came here

to Los Angeles because- It seems like this is a New York problem. What are you doing here? This is a New York problem, but I figured, you know, I've searched high and low on all the streets of Manhattan. The grid. Every single street. Every single street, up and down the grid. What about Columbia up by 71st,

up by Harry's Tacos, Harry Tacos? Harry's Burritos. Harry's Burritos. Shoot. Oh. Shoot. Did you check on Broadway where it's not really a grid, it sort of goes diagonal through a few other streets? Gosh darn, no, I only checked the grid. I said, if I'm not making a perpendicular line,

I'm not going any further. You'll miss a couple of streets out there. Yeah. Soho, there's a lot of fashion down in Soho. That's probably, it's a good chance Bella had been. Did you check any of Soho? I checked Soho, because as far as I could remember, it's perpendicular lines, so it fits within my rules.

Stands for south of Houston. South of Houston. Wow. What a place. So many dresses. It's beautiful down there. Yeah, but you checked there. I checked there.

And why are you here? So I figured, you know, maybe these girls, these glamazons, they may have gone to the one place I haven't checked, which is the Arowan. I figured- Oh, the Arowan over there by the Grove. Exactly, exactly the one. And I- For people who are not Los Angeles listeners,

which I think is most people listening, yet somehow we do a lot of Los Angeles-specific comedy on this show, there's a very expensive grocery store called Air One. Have you ever been inside, Alan? We are members. You're a member of Air One. Yes. A member.

They just started selling, what was it? An egg or something? A big strawberry. A strawberry, that's right. I believe it was a big strawberry. Do you get one of those for free if you're a member? No, you don't get anything for free in Air One. It's like a $20 strawberry, is that right?

Yes, it's a $19 strawberry and it's beautiful. The models love this strawberry This reminds me of the the firefly episode when they got Her the strawberry from the planet. Yeah, Kaylee. She got a strawberry think about that a lot anytime I eat a strawberry I go I should be enjoying this more cuz she did. Yeah, no, I just kind of go like it's fine Yeah, that was a seductive moment. I like strawberries too now. In any case, Air One is a very expensive grocery store. It's even more expensive than a Whole Foods,

which in my opinion they should call Whole Pay Chan. Even I get that one. Oh shit. I understand that one. I understand. Fuck! That cracked my shit up. But it's very expensive.

It's over by the Grove and its clientele seems to be primarily Alan and his wife and models. Models, yes. And actors. And actors, models, even influencers. Even influencers, yes. And actors. And actors, models, even influencers. Some- Even influencers, man. Even influencers, some interior decorators, people of that caliber.

I wonder if mine, we just had these walls done, by the way. Oh, really? Oh, oh yeah. Not very professional. Oh no, I've- Shut up, Landon. I can see it, I can see how a decorator was in here. So you haven't checked there, so you decide to come on Comedy Bang Bang.

I'm not cool enough to. I'm just trying to get the, I'm trying to get the, your process here. Yeah, so exactly. I thought I better come on this show, get on a platform that goes across to all of America. Other countries too. And other countries as well. And say, where are my models? Can you help me find my models?

And if the models are listening. I don't think there's any danger of that. No super models are listening to this show? No, they're more of a call me daddy kind of vibe over there. It seems to be like you'd rather be on that show. Darn, darn, darn, I wish, I wish. Look, you go on Doughboys. Gosh!

You go on Call Me Daddy, Call Her Daddy? Call Who Daddy? Uh, I believe it's Alex Cooper's Call Her Daddy. Call Her Daddy. Meanwhile, Alan and I will just chill. Yeah. We'll do a bro down, ho down. We have a different set of circumstances.

He's on an alien show for four years. Yeah. Yeah, we'll do a bro down ho down. We have a different set of circumstances He's on an alien show. Yeah four years. Yeah, and I remember very specific episodes of Firefly I'm excited by a robot on a Star Wars show Can I ask you a question? What came first the models or the accent you don't like you're from New York City? Well, that's true the accent. You don't seem like you're from New York City. Well, that's true. My entire family talks like this for a long line of talent wranglers, long line of walkies. So walkie is not your married name. Are you single? No, I'm married. My married name is Walkie Talkie. It's hyphenated, but I prefer to keep my maiden name because it is special to me, you know?

I love my- Are you married to a podcaster? Yeah, he mostly does sports. Oh, God. Like bar stool? Well, a little less scary than bar stool. Kind of like, what if the Packers and the, oh gosh, gosh. So you know Bella Hadid and the Packers and the, oh gosh, gosh.

So you know Bella Hadid and the Packers, and this is your family business and what your husband does for a living. I cannot express enough how it has entrenched every facet of my life. I was homeschooled to do this. I was bred to do this from day one. Bred to do this.

Your mom and dad had sex in order to have a baby that to do this, I was bred to do this from day one. Bred to do this, and your mom and dad had sex in order to have a baby that would do this. They said, I know that the secrets of talent wrangling will be lost to time. And I can't allow some rando bozo coming in here, taking our family business away. We need to breed a super soldier of talent wrangling. How did you start doing this? Did you start wrangling models first

or did you start with, you know, slow? They started me on sheep to get me acquainted. That's how I started, doing something different. What do you mean, Scott? I'm sorry, I don't know what you mean. We gotta circle back to that. What do you mean, Scott? Are you fucking sheep? What do you mean with them? What are you mean, Scott? I'm sorry, I don't know what you mean. We've got to circle back to that. What do you mean, Scott? Are you fucking sheep?

What do you mean? What do you mean with them? What are you doing to them? Harvesting wool. Yeah, exactly. Harvesting wool. Of course, shaving things. Yes.

Yes. Of course. I worked my way up to my pubes. What do you mean? I think I understand now. Well, they start me on sheep, and they say real simple, you know, fa- ah. I think I understand now. Well, they start me on sheep. And they say real simple, you know, my parents never coddled me.

They never gave me any participation trophies. They'd say, wrangle these sheep from point A to point B, from the kitchen to the laundry room. So I can't- Why are there sheep in your house? So, I'm so glad you asked. My family- Are you?

I'm really glad. If I seem stressed on my face, it's because I'm happy. You're remembering your circumstances. I'm remembering my circumstances. I understand. We keep the sheep in the house because they help us go to sleep faster. Oh, cause you're counting them.

Cause we're counting them. That makes more sense, yeah. One, two, three cause you're counting. Cause we're counting them. That makes more sense. Yeah. One, two, three, we're out. Much faster than imagining them. So they start me on sheep gradually. How many sheep do you have in your house? We have about 23 sheep.

Okay, but three and you're out. Three and I'm out. Seems like you could lose or cull 20 of them. I cull, oh no, I could never cull a sheep. Those poor boys. The other 20 are there for, for, um, uh, what do you call it? Morale. The other three sheep need to feel okay. Sheep get sad if there, if there's only three of them. It's true. They're a very social creature. They, if it's just three, they go, am I even in a herd? What, what the heck? What the heck is this?

Interesting sheep facts. I didn't expect to get that from a talent wrangler, but I love this. I'm a multi-dimensional human being. You seem like it. Thank you so much. Listen. Where'd you go to college? I went to NYU.

The New York University. New York University. Okay. Gallatin, they let you make up your own major, I'm pretty sure. and I majored in- You're pretty sure. I'm pretty sure. I think if I went there, I would like, make sure.

Well, you know, I like to live in the moment. Yeah, okay. I like to live in the moment. My guidance counselor tells me things and I go, okay, sure. I mean, that's the person who would know, I guess. So you're a fully three-dimensional human being. You're not an alien like Alan's character on Resident Alien.

You are a human being. You were born and bred to be a human being. Yes, to be a human being, to be a specifically talent wrangler. What's the most challenging model you ever worked with? And please, maybe it's Bella Hadid. Yes. Believe it or not, I know the name of a second model.

Oh really? Wow. I don't know if you've heard of her. Her name is Kara D. Levine. Okay, very. Kara D. Levine. 5'11", total babe. Okay.

Absolute smoke show and a lover and a fighter. In what respect? She loves TV and she fights in boxing for fun. Okay. But Cara Delevingne, I remember when the model started to go south on me before they escaped. Cara Delevingne started, well, she started pranking me to death. Pranking you to death. Pranking me to death. You seem...

Models are funny. Models are funny, but you seem alive to me. I am alive, I just see the end very close. So you're at death's door from these pranks? I am at death's door because if the pranks continue, it's a slippery slope, who knows where they'll lead. What are some of the pranks that Cara DeLavigne has pulled on you?

Oh, these are brutal pranks. These are absolutely unfathomable pranks. These girls are not okay. They've been putting retinol on my skin while I'm sleeping. What does that do to someone's skin? And what is retinol on my skin while I'm sleeping. What does that do to someone's skin? And what is retinol normally used for? So retinol, it tightens the cells. So it makes your pores firmer and clearer.

So when I wake up, I do believe I'm aging backwards. Oh, okay, that must be disconcerting to look in the mirror and say like, oh no, am I Benjamin Buttoning here? I'm going backwards. I'm, oh shoot, oh shoot, I'm, oh shoot, now I'm 22. What the heck? Well, how old are you now?

I'm 39. You're 39 years old, but I was gonna say, you look younger, you look like you're in your 20s. Maybe these models are doing you a favor. It seems like they're just sharing beauty secrets with you. Yeah. But they don't tell me when they're doing it. And when I wake up and I look in the mirror, they sort of say, ha ha, kind of like Nelson

from The Simpsons. They say, ha ha, they can tell. Do you think they're intentionally doing it like Nelson from The Simpsons? I think so. You know, I think- Is that a Hank Azaria character? I don't, I, I think it is. It might be, yeah, I don't know. I think these super ballas- Can you ask him that next time you run into him?

Next time I run into him, I'm gonna catch his show. The balls. I would say chances are 25% it's him. I think that would be a very funny question. Hey, it's also something easily look upable on the internet. But I think if you could save that question next time. Get it from the source.

I don't trust the mainstream media on this issue. So they're standing over you when you wake up. Why are you asleep in a public place that these models can? Well, the relationship between a talent wrangler, I don't know how it's done in these newfangled days, but in the old days, the old days of New York Fashion Week, you know, we take our operation very seriously. The model and the talent wrangler, there needs to be a relationship of trust. So we like to spend days, weeks, months on end together sometimes. We go on retreats. Just getting ready for one week of Fashion Week. Because when I say you go there, Gigi. Gigi who? Indeed.

Okay. I want her to know. I feel as if we're at the very bottom of the list of models names that you know. Oh, surely I have had a career of many years. Surely I know more. Surely. But who knows if it'll come up. Who knows if it'll even come up, but just know there is a base well of knowledge that is overflowing with models names.

But they need to know that when you say, Gigi, go over there, that they need to have that trust in you that- They need to know I'm not some freakazoid. I'm not some pervert fan who's trying to sneak a picture of them. I am a trusted figure who's gonna get you on that catwalk to fame, to fortune, and to stardom. Well, it's a very important job.

I don't think we've ever gone into how they broke out of their holding pen. Well, they pantsed me really fast. Were they just trying to put better clothes on you? You know, they did have a big hanger full of Givenchy nearby, but I didn't think too much of it at the time. It sounds like they're trying to give you

some sort of a glow up here. No. like they're trying to give you some sort of a glow up here. No. Like they're trying to give you free glam advice. Cause I mean, you look gorgeous. I was going to say like, you're dressed very chic. You look like you're in your twenties. You're as beautiful as the Mona Lisa. You don't look how you sound at all.

No. This is crazy to hear. You know, I don't think that these women, you know, it goes against everything I believe. Women don't support other women. So this would be a first. It sounds like, do you go around complaining about your looks? Well, sure, sure. When I come into the dressing room, I go, oh gosh, I'm just an ugly old fart.

I'm an ugly old fart with no friends and nothing to show for it. Every day you say this. Yes, I say, shame, shame on you. Shame on you. Maybe if you looked a little better, people would treat you differently. I think that would be kind of a bummer to hang around with someone like that. It sounds to me like they're trying to do you a nice solid here and give you some nice clothes and give you some beauty tips.

You look gorgeous. You look like you could be one of the models yourself right now. So, yeah. So I don't think that there was any kind of malice intended in this. You don't think that Gigi Hadid or Bella Hadid or Cara Delevingne. One more.

Or Carly Kloss or Tyra Banks or. She's more of a TV star now. Or Naomi, oh, Naomi. K-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k The soup. The soup. The soup. The soup. The soup. The soup. The soup. The soup. The soup. The soup.

The soup. The soup. The soup. The soup. The soup. The soup. The soup. The soup.

The soup. The soup. The soup. The soup. The soup. The soup. The soup. The soup. The soup. The soup. The soup. I think, first of all, I think everyone is worthy of love. Oh. Oh. It may not be the kind of love you want.

Like me, my type are the world's most beautiful supermodels that you've mentioned. That's my type. That's a lot of people's type. Or sheep. Or sheep. Or sheep. But I think everyone's worthy of love and I think that these are nice women, it sounds like. But I think everyone's worthy of love and I think that these are nice women it sounds like and they were trying to help you and then maybe you scared them off with your reaction.

Wow. You know, I did yell and scream a whole bunch. Now I feel bad. Maybe I don't know. Should I call Gigi and apologize? You could call her this whole time. How are you on this show? I wanted to find her on foot. Have you been herding for 3000 miles? Yeah, I've been herding cars to pick me up. It's been so

hard. Yeah, just, yeah, this has a very simple solution. Just call her. All right. Stop bothering us with this problem. Stop bothering us with this problem. Jesus. Well, Donna Wacky or Donnie Wacky Talky. Donnie Wacky Talky. Donna Wacky Talky is my name, if my husband's listening. But if it's just me, Donna Wacky. He's listening to some sports show, I'm sure.

But Pat McAfee or something. Oh, I'm sure. I'm sure. But we areAfee or something. Oh, I'm sure. I'm sure. But we are running out of time, guys. We only have time for one final feature on the show. And that is, gonna like, oh yeah Oh no, oh no Oh no, no you mean, oh yeah Oh, oh

What else has she done? Nothing. Oh, cool. She's done a lot of, she does theater stuff. She's made me a theater, nothing. Oh, cool.

She does theater stuff. She's made me a theater choreographer. Well, we don't want to get back into talking about theater. Contemporary, exactly. Like your first appearance. But she did assist me. I should say she assisted me when I directed. Oh, really?

And to say she assisted me, it sounds like she was kind of second fiddle. She had better ideas than... Definitely about shots and stuff. This is sort of like almost a co-directing kind of thing. Yeah, but it can't be because of rules. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But when I'm acting, I can't see myself. So I could, she would be on set to watch it and go,

Oh, that's so cool. You're gonna want another one of those. Like, it's just translation. You sucked in that one. What if for an ego boost, just every time she was like, perfect. Then you get it back and you're like fuck Let's talk to Landon. Yeah
