Starting point is 00:11:23 It was upstate New York and there was no cell phones And we started getting lost and we just realized wow were really really lost So we showed up like four hours late. Yes, and the students were just sitting up in a gym like this dead silence Like a chair. Yeah, they were pissed right so I go get go get a madam Yeah, you sent me out there.

Starting point is 00:12:07 Nile I don't remember it that way. Yes. Yes. I thought we both had a was your set eight minutes of Cajun man Anytime something work I go funny old And we got the occasion afterwards. We found a place in the Polkan, oh mountains. There's something right? Yeah We we tip back a few, drove back. No, we went crazy in the car. Let's admit it. On the way back, Adam and I just got a case of the fuckets. And the car was full of beer.
Starting point is 00:12:36 And we started drinking it. And then you were out cigars or somewhere somewhere in my car. So we're drinking beer and having cigars in plain raw stew. I'd do it. For like hours. Like people. And we went crazy. We ran out of beer and then we went to a liquor store, but you were with me and you look 15 at the time. That's right. I had an idea, but he goes, I'm not selling it to you because of him. And he pointed it to you.
Starting point is 00:12:58 And then we got him. I said to him, remember I said on your own, you go, shut that part. You see that work that we just hand us a memorizing on your own, you go, shut that part. You don't see that work. They would just hand us a six pack on your own. Anyway, all is home. We went crazy, but the whole way, let's get to an Adam started stand up because you started before me, but you were in a half-sure.
Starting point is 00:13:16 I did start before you. I think, no, no, maybe it's about the same time. I started, I was like 18 and a half, and then you, what the hell are you? I was 17 oh you started stand up where did we want you go on I've went on senior year in high school my brother told me my brother was going to Boston University and then he said remember I told you oh somebody went to Boston University here they're like whatever you want Adam out of motion. That's a good. That's a good school. Congratulations. In both many ways, my brother, we were at dinner.
Starting point is 00:13:50 And he said, hey, I got you that lottery ticket. I told you remember, you had to wait online and get a ticket to go on stage. And I said, oh, yeah. Oh, God. You got that? And because he mentioned it a couple of months earlier. And then I went, he said it's tonight. So I put on a dress shirt.
Starting point is 00:14:06 I remember I had a nice dress shirt with stripes. I folded, I didn't know how to button this. I was never good at buttoning my own. Oh right, it's right there. So I rolled it up like spade right there. Yeah. And then I, because I still don't know how to do it.
Starting point is 00:14:20 I don't know, is that happens? Still, when I do something like that, look, you would think to wear the first time because I wore a shirt and a tie. The first time you went in, really? It was nice. Cause I wanted to look, also I wanted to look older, I look very young.
Starting point is 00:14:32 And I had to go to a real bar to do it, and the age was 19 in Arizona. So, what was the bar? There's one called Chuckles, and then Anderson's for the Chuckles. I know, they all have goofy names, gut busters. Was that in Scottsdale? The loony bin.
Starting point is 00:14:49 Yeah, Chuckles was the first place I went on and it made a stop for stories. But where could you go on a bar when you got young? I went on at a place called Stitches Comedy Club. Stitches? Stitches in Boston. You're 17. 17 went on a bar. No, no, you have a fuck. It's so funny. They let anyone go on young
Starting point is 00:15:06 I didn't even know what to talk about I was driving down with my brother and he said did you write anything?

I'm your brother was like your manager Yeah, he 100% was just guy going you got to do something with your life and so I There's nothing else you could do. You really can handle nothing. So, I went on, I went on, I did the five minutes, I had a retainer because I was still young and I remember just totals silence. I was saying stuff that, you know, that I thought they would love that my family's love for years and they would just go in and
Starting point is 00:15:41 then I remember here and one guy go, he's got a retainer. And I was like, he's smiling and, do you remember your jokes? Didn't say anything that made sense. There's nothing in the room made. I used to get that blank mind like the first two years, three years of comedy. I all day long, I'd be practicing and all the shit written down and like, I'm going to say this, then that, then this, and then I'd get on stage and I'd be practicing and all the shit written down and like I'm gonna say this than that and then I'd get on stage and I'd be like, well I fucking hate it here, why am I here right now?
Starting point is 00:16:11 Space out, you guys space out, I'm sure. Back in the day. Like, out all the time, I would be nervous all day long, just to dream a life sweating, just bright red neck, terrified pacing, you know, and when you're Funny, because when you... ...desean while I was sleeping.

Starting point is 00:24:26 Donald O'Connor, and they came out and did an official poster show I don't know what kind of dance I was in, my parents going, holy shit, one guy, you go on stage, you can do that kind of thing and I got it kind of like wanted to get into that. I was interested,
Starting point is 00:24:42 that's sort of turned you on just to perform, like they didn't know if you'd even like it and then you really liked it. I guess so. I mean, I don't think they were trying to talk me into it, they were just trying to have a nice night out in Florida. And then I was just kind of locked into, I used to sing a lot in the car.
Starting point is 00:24:58 I used to sing a lot. My mother always said, I sang good. My father would just stare like this. What would you think you remember? Just songs off the radio. Oh my god, it was a pain in the ass because I sang a lot of Johnny Mathis for my mother. Oh really? She'd always sing chances on.
Starting point is 00:25:17 And I'd be like, Let's just sing, cause I wear a silicone. Whatever I did, I'm not. And it was fine not great I was able to see him Big vibrato and pipes I sang a Maria from West Side story I sang this is what I was little
Starting point is 00:25:38 You know like ten But my mother always said I had a good voice And my father was like he's alright And And my mother always said I had a good voice and my father was like, he's all right. And... Didn't your mom who was such a cheerleader that if Sonatra came on, she would say, you're better.
Starting point is 00:25:51 Oh yeah, you could do that. Yeah. Support of mommy. Oh, you know what's funny? My mother speaking to that, my uncle worked at a clothing company. And when I went to NYU, I was a standup. Yeah, you go and I went to I did I was a stand-up. I was making no money like all of us and
Starting point is 00:26:13 My mother called my uncle and said can add a model for you and My uncle was like, you know, I'll talk to them She's like he really needs the work. Hell, my. And I'm like, really? I'm a model. She's like, you're gorgeous. And my uncle, she, you're wonderful. And then my uncle had to just go, he's fucking looks terrible
Starting point is 00:26:43 in a suit. He's not a great, there's fucking looks terrible in a suit. He's not a great, there's not a good angle on him. You wanna suit now, don't you? You wanna suit now. I actually, because of that my daughter's spot mitzvah, I had to get the fucking suit dry clean this morning. I don't think it's gonna fit either, I've been swelling up. No. this morning. I don't think it's gonna fit either. I've been swelling up.
Starting point is 00:27:07 No, can you do? All right, so go ahead Dana, you had so many questions. I know. Well, then you go down. That's your hero. I mean, there's no anything. Yeah, there's a way. I'm kind of up in that area. I'm a tight bike. No, I gotta have a roadmap. This is good, man. We'll stud boy. stud boy. Oh, yes.
Starting point is 00:27:34 We'll joke. Now, Chris Rock called that one of the best pure jokes ever written. Thank you, Chris. And that was early stand up. Yeah. Yes. David, you want to, because I just think of it, a bottom grows up, he goes to NYU and then
Starting point is 00:27:46 is in New York he's 17. Yes within six years you're on Saturday night live. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So what happened in those six years David? Oh, well, Adam was a great stand up at a very unique perspective, interesting delivery, good, memorable joke. He was more like one joke, one joke, one joke, right? And not really stories, it was like that. And I wasn't even, you know, we don't have YouTube all that shit, so I didn't know you till I actually physically saw you. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:28:17 Oh, that was in the valley. It was at the improv and the avalanche. The valley improv. We spent it. You were going to valley improv, didn't it? Did you ever do that? Oh, yeah, I did that. And when I was living in New York in 1981,
Starting point is 00:28:26 doing sitcom with Nathan Lane and Mickey Rooney. Wow. I worked a, yeah, one of the boys. You check it out. And the Scatman and her brothers as well. But you, you like Jack Jr. Butto told me once that he was your, you know, your partner for a long time.
Starting point is 00:28:43 And he knew you back then. You would just do a bit. You'd go to a club, would quite work. And then you keep going and going. And he'd come back like a week later and you had it killing. So you were very tenacious about that, right? Yes, I don't know why.
Starting point is 00:28:56 I was not, I was probably the same as you guys. You just, I don't know. I believed in it. I kept doing it, found a way to kind of phrase it right. Do it till work. Sorry, you just, I don't know, I believed in it. I kept doing it, found a way to kind of phrase it right. Do it till work. Sorry, you do ever take, I used to tape mine then, it was really excruciating to listen to your own voice, but you would think you killed and it was really just one person laughing loud.
Starting point is 00:29:17 Yeah. Or you think it was nothing, but then you said something you forgot in between the jokes that was good. Right. So you'd sort of like piece it together and then try it again and tape it. Yeah, I did the old, I didn't say anything you do where you pulled out of a hat, but it was more sickening because I drove off Marazona and then they'd have at the improv amateur night. And so I'd sit there and they'd pull a name and read it and
Starting point is 00:29:40 you'd come up. So they're all waiting. Yeah. And every time they pull it, you get nervous and it's not you. And I go, oh it, you get nervous, and it's not you and I go, oh. And you almost don't want it to be you sometimes. You're like, ah, good, they're not gonna get too much. Right, then it was tough, and then by the end of the night, I'm like, it's scary, I'm so happy. It was, and then I never worked that way. And I think it was rigged.
Starting point is 00:29:58 I think they knew who's going up, they had friends and friends. But I finally got a few things, but then we wound up run into each other. How did you do your first night? How'd I do? Yeah. First night of stand up? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:30:11 That's a good question. When I started stand up, I'd take the mic off. I'm just going to get you anything out of it. No, it's actually, I just remember's the first time as a good story. We were spoiled because when I got to, sorry, or I was in the valley, and I was seeing comics, I was seeing guys like Drake say they were great.
Starting point is 00:30:33 I saw Adam was great, Schneider was funny. Yeah, he was great. I was wound up seeing guys that in a million years, how would we all get on SNL? It was so weird that it would happen that way. When you came in, it was like a million years, how would we all get on SNL? It was so weird that it would happen that way. When you came in, it was like a firestorm, but you guys really, you kind of like had 20 minutes, right? You weren't headlining on the road.
Starting point is 00:30:53 You had a 20. And then S1l, people saw you in the clubs. That's right. And they liked your writing. You got hired as a writer. Yes, yes, yes, yes. Dennis hooked me up. Dennis Miller.
Starting point is 00:31:04 So Dennis Miller. So Dennis Miller Dennis was the one who saw you. That's true. Yeah, Dennis Miller saw me a few times At the Santa Monica improv and he waited in the back after I think you guys knew each other. I knew that he was my You probably introduced that maybe yeah, and and he watched me and he and he said he likes some of my jokes And he was he was so nice to me and we we, he likes some of my jokes and he was so nice to me. And we loved him, we idolized him. And he heard they were looking for, Lauren was looking at new people and he said,
Starting point is 00:31:33 you should check out the Sandman. And Sandingo, yeah. He gave you that non-acre? Because the dentist never, he always has a name for some. Yeah, right, right. Christ, you know sandman hitting it heavy down at the prom and Santa Monica, okay? Taring up the beach communities with his wilthas stilt humor Okay, sorry. I love being Dennis. I love that
Starting point is 00:31:58 but Thank you What was your do you remember your first bit that kind of became your rock, like even if the set was not going well, you had one that started closer? Yes, I had one that I said the Vicks Vaperub, I used to say, remember Vicks Vaperub, when your mother would rub it on your chest. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. And my mother would be rubbing it on my chest
Starting point is 00:32:29 and then we make eye contact. And I was like, I thought we were just friends, Ma. That was like my, that was my big, yeah. That was my big guarantee. And then you back that. Did you ever see this one when you go, I remember that joke very well. I thought that was a great one.
Starting point is 00:32:44 And he said, when I was a, a people say if you could live your life over Would you would you change a thing you go? Yeah? When I was walking down the what I felt on the stairs. I might have grabbed the rail next time Oh, yeah, that's right. Like that. Yeah, yeah, that was it. She's I forgot that I mean There's obviously will Chamberlain, but you had so many good jokes. They were so Different and odd and then uh and then Dennis got you on. Yeah, Dennis. But it's good to be different. It's very hard to be different.
Starting point is 00:33:10 And so when you see... When I did it, when I auditioned that night, it was with rock, Dana Gould and three other good comedians. Where were you? I was Chicago. I flew to Chicago. I flew to Chicago. That's right. I rock with Chicago.
Starting point is 00:33:22 That's right. I did great. I did fine. Dana Gould destroyed. Great comment. Yeah, that's it when me why rock was Chicago. Rock did great. I did find Dana Gould destroyed. Great. That's it. When he was incredible. So he should have got it. He's great. He wrote for the sim. He did a lot of great stuff. But somehow I got hired as a writer like David did. And then David is Schneider me. And who else was a writer? Anybody else? Just us. Oh, me. Oh, yeah. because Farley and Rock got hired that year and they were just straight.
Starting point is 00:33:48 They were on feature or cash and was, yeah. Everybody wrote for themselves like Dana Robin. And Dana was never a credit as a writer. If you got on as a main player, you never got a writer's credit for some reason. Right, that's true. Whatever it is, it's part of the deal. That was good sneaky money though.
Starting point is 00:34:03 I didn't want to be a writer, but but you know we didn't make much money, but you'd get kicked or rerun In perpetuity and that was nice even though it was two cents, but it was nice to you get a stack of checks And it's the host so it's like 18 cents Alec Baldwin 18 cents Tom Hing I'm close so that was kind of fun to rack that up the bricks You'veig wisely. Yeah, vestig wisely. And then, but we didn't make it ton. I'm sure when you start, we didn't make shit.
Starting point is 00:34:34 I don't think we even, we couldn't believe we were getting paid, right? Yeah, yeah, just a big deal to be, get money. Just maybe, yeah, like you net, like maybe 20 grand for the whole season or something. Oh, yeah, yeah. Yeah, just live in a Hubble. Yeah, it was really I was you know, I there I was with Phil Lake great Phil and Jen Jen hooks God Awesome. Yes, and my myers and love it's and the show was really cooking and then you guys came off like the mother's
Starting point is 00:34:58 ship and closest encounters, you know, comes rock and Sandler and I remember the first time I saw you in the office, you were just kind of sitting at the big table on 17 floors, I remember. And I was doing pretty well on the show, you know. But I liked to immediately, you just had this vibe about you that was really, really funny and legable. You know, and that's a big part of DNA.
Starting point is 00:35:22 The sense that the love we all had. Dana was the king. Dana, I'll tell you, remember it was almost like at a standup club. If Dana had a skit and your skit was going on after, you were just like, oh, no, no, because Dana, we was on. You got to follow church later, you're something.
Starting point is 00:35:42 Are you talking about read through or on the day? No, read through. Read through his back. Put on the air. On the air was the biggest explosion in the place. And then your skit would do fine. But in your weird comedy brain, you just like, how the fuck do I get those data last? Yeah. I had a lot of help, you know, make a talk show and then have Phil Hartman and Jen Hooks come on, you know. Thanks, but so you come on, you get on the show, you're like, what's your first big, always first, you probably did update first, right? Or did you buy a raki-peat or something?
Starting point is 00:36:17 No, that was, Al Franken wrote that in there. Aren't you supposed to do the noise now? You do that. All right. But I like to ask you a question. Yeah. So like in classic comedy, sorry, David, you weren't finished. Sorry.
Starting point is 00:36:34 You're going to like this one. Because you didn't really lean on it much, but in the beginning, I remember in the classic comic sense of the idiot. So like there's Jerry Lewis is like the king. And then I remember you would do the hunched over guy and he would do that sound. Oh, like where did that guy come from?
Starting point is 00:36:52 Because that instantly made me laugh so hard because you were so committed, was that? Oh, it's, oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. I don't even know, man. It's very musical. So can you do more? I always felt good in a microphone.
Starting point is 00:37:06 Oh. Yeah. I don't even, I don't even, I don't even, I don't remember if that ever got on the air if I ever did that. I just remember seeing that and really loving it, you know. But there's one character I want to break down unless David has a question.
Starting point is 00:37:20 Because I'm, sure. Go ahead. We're really close friends. The opera man, the evolution of opera. Yes. Yes. Yes.
Starting point is 00:37:34 That then became the indestructible killer bit of all time. By the time you got it on the update desk, Yes. With the pictures, and you were mixing so good way to talk about the origins of that and the way you did it and then the way you ended up doing it you've all got you yes that's my question thank you yeah that's a good question and I remember you you knew the guy so there was a man on the street who used to sing opera on the street used to hold the can up and you'd be walking down the street and he'd kind of come back and
Starting point is 00:38:07 go, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, I didn't know that. I met that guy today at McDonald's. He wasn't singing though, he's in between sets. What would a guy like that be ordering like a McDonald's? I wouldn't be. Hey, barbecue sauce.
Starting point is 00:38:35 The thing that you can sound exactly opera is one more gift on SNL. If you can, if they'd write a singing sketch, obviously Adam wrote a lot of his own, but if they'd write somewhere you're singing, you can get in, if you can play an instrument, you can get in. There's so many things if you can do dance. So if you don't do a lot of those things, which was kind of a drag,
Starting point is 00:38:56 but Adam can sing so well and actually write songs and actually write songs that are catchy, because a lot of those things you don't update, we're actually really catchy on top of just being funny. And so that is big and that op-renman was a fucking cruncher that always. I was a gift from the turners. Didn't you do it off on the stage next update initially? No, I first time I did it it was just gibberish. It was like it was a Peter thing and I think maybe you or was it Phil?
Starting point is 00:39:23 That's what I remember. I don't remember this one. and I think maybe you or was it Phil? That's what I remember. I don't remember this one. Maybe you, maybe you. But I was in my office. Yeah, that's it. I don't used to go around the office. On all fours. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,
Starting point is 00:39:36 oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, So I open it up and you're on all four of you. Oh, and then you're asking me to do something introduce Opperman, right?
Starting point is 00:39:48 I did remember that. So you were like a theater guy, I would say, like the Opperman. Yeah, it was something like, goes from the emotion of trying to catch the bus. But unfortunately, he misses the bus. But then he sees his mother is behind the bus and but unfortunately he misses the bus, but then he sees his mother, you know, is behind the bus and picks him up.
Starting point is 00:40:09 Let's watch the opera man. I'm so glad that I got it. I'm like, I'm going to walk. I'm like, I'm going to walk. I'm like, I'm going to walk. I'm going to walk. I'm going to walk. I'm going to walk.
Starting point is 00:40:19 I'm going to walk. I'm going to walk. I'm going to walk. I'm going to walk. I'm going to walk. I'm going to walk. I'm going to walk. I'm going to walk. I'm going to walk. I'm going good. It did good after taking it. It did good. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:40:26 Salar, it's good. But if you a trick on S. Nell, if Adam was probably slightly newer then, but if you anchor it with Dana who they love. All right. And then he brings John and they go, and Dana seems to like it. And then they start to help.
Starting point is 00:40:41 I'm happy to help. It helps. When you're new it helps. When you're new in hell. No, it was a day and it's the best that it, so that's what it was. But anyways, it did fine. It was up at the table. It did well.
Starting point is 00:40:54 Everybody, remember after a while, they started liking us at the table. When David and I first were on SNM at the table, when we try to get on and we do full skits for ourselves, everybody else was kind of like calm down. That's enough guys, yeah, that's enough. Not yet, not yet. Right. But then by this time they were like, alright, give me a shot. And then we did that and it didn't do great, so Lauren didn't put it on. But then the turners out of nowhere, Bonnie and Terry Turner.
Starting point is 00:41:22 Great writers, great writers. Over the show for eight nine years Wayne's world. They were they wrote the first Tommy boy drafts What's in they wrote the first draft of Tommy boy? They were they were monsters. I don't even know why we don't hear about talk about them more They had some huge sketches. You guys should have them on this show. Yeah, I love to. Yeah, they're high-bony, high-terry. Hello guys. Listening to this when it's released. But they wrote what? What we said? And Lindsay and Lindsay, their daughter. Their daughter Lindsay. Yes. But anyways, they wrote this thing and they talked to me. I was in my office. They're like, so remember that
Starting point is 00:42:01 Opperman thing you did, we came up with an idea for the news, and they showed it to me, and I was just so dumb and young, and whatever I was, and I was like, hey, I guess. I guess we could try it that way. It was Opperman, the news, and he said, do he the showing current
Starting point is 00:42:21 of an individual or Ryan, he sang it in the bus. I didn't really, but I was like, no, I'm from him speaks gibberish. That doesn't make any sense. You don't understand. So then it became a divorce. So how about you know, you know, you would be in our events with like Trump. Yeah, exactly. Just. That was all those guys wrote it. I got to be it, they would give me the melodies, and Cheryl would write a song. But yeah, and they would just give me all the goods, and I mean, it was the greatest gift ever.
Starting point is 00:42:51 That was all wrong. I got to wear the, did you do with Eddie Vetter, or no, you see, sing like Eddie Vetter once, you heard? I see, I know, I sing like Eddie Vetter. Was it As of Operman or was something else? Operman singing about Pearl Jam, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, and remember when, I think they were even on the show Pearl Jam that night.
Starting point is 00:43:09 Yeah, that's right. But what would he say? A better what do you mean? I mean, you got the pipes kid. You were going, hey, my son. I was out of rain. I can't create. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. But he's not exactly like a reaper, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh guy who could do it besides you because he's got pipes and he's just a funny so that was a kill. That was amazing. He played your brother or something. I was Glenn Close and and and love us and maybe they were my parents. I don't remember. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:44:13 I remember that. He's the whole thing. Only on Sarah night. Yeah. That's right. Can we I'd like I could go anywhere. There's so much fun. I want to ask about when he does bits when you get to bring in one of the musical stars.
Starting point is 00:44:26 I think McCartney did Red Hood's sweatshirt with you. Oh, that was a great, oh, damn. Oh, I'm so jealous. You did something with him. Yes. I love McCartney. I just like before McCartney hosted. You weren't there then?
Starting point is 00:44:36 I missed it. I missed it. I was a fool. He was upset, because we'd met at 86 at Lawrence House. He called me up. I don't know why you didn't stick around, then, you know. We could have had a plunker. We'd be plunking, looking at each other.
Starting point is 00:44:51 I go, who is this? Nobody in the pool. No. He's cranking. I miss that. But you got to do a thing. What did you do with Palmer Carney? It was red.
Starting point is 00:45:00 It was red. It was my shirt. I wrote it with Ian Maxson Graham. and I forget who else, somebody else. And we had dip, dip, dip, dip, dip, dip, dip, dip, dip, dip, dip, dip, dip, dip, dip, dip, dip, dip, dip, dip, dip, dip, dip, dip, dip, dip, dip, dip, dip, dip, dip, dip, dip, dip, dip, dip, dip, dip, dip, dip, dip, dip, dip, dip, dip, dip, dip, dip, dip, dip, dip, dip, dip, dip, dip, dip, dip, dip, dip, dip, dip, dip, dip, dip, dip, dip, dip, dip, dip, dip, dip, dip, dip, dip, dip, dip, dip, dip, dip,

We wrote a form and then Lauren said, I said, will they do it? He goes, well, you have to talk to them. So I went to Lauren's office. They were eating.
Starting point is 00:45:35 I think they were on the show or they were just. They were Paul was the guest. And Linda was with him. You walk in and you have to convince them. I just like had to come in with the dopey guitar and be like, my heart's pounding through my chest. Did you crawl in or did you walk? Me?
Starting point is 00:45:51 A little skimp. That was when you were going to pitch it. Remember you'd skip across. No, I'm making that up. So go ahead. So you walk in there. I mean, I want Lauren's eating shunly Chinese. Shunly and Paul and Linda.
Starting point is 00:46:06 Linda's amazingly nice and Paul's amazing nice and I sing them the little thing. And they laughed and then I left and then I was like, I don't know if that worked or not. But then they said yes and they forever. I got that saying with them hung out with them after the show. Hung out Stella was there. Memistella was a kid.
Starting point is 00:46:24 She came to the show I'm a carton that fashion designer. Yes, and she was such a nice Kid she was like our age then you know like whatever we were and I Yeah, let's keep the numbers out of it. I said I am discipline as kids a long island went over to his house And you know, I think James had a little toy sword, a plastic sword, he dropped it down in his sister and Paul goes, you do that one more time, we're going to have a problem. See him as a dad. See him as a dad.
Starting point is 00:46:52 See him as a dad. See him as a dad. I remember some comics that he had a bill. He was the first one with a billion dollars and they go, you know, if he lost his wallet in a cab and there was 500 million in know, if he lost his wallet in a cab and there was 500 million and he'd still have 500 million dollars. That was some kind of joke. But do you remember when Farley's brothers came to the show and McCartney's on that stupid
Starting point is 00:47:13 story where Paul, Paul looked the same as Paul McCartney growing up but he had a little bit of gray here and so Farley's brothers were standing there with red cups. There was no security. So the music comes out of their dressing room walks by the eight-age page desk. You know that, and they walk right into the show, and they go, Paul McCartney, one minute till you're on live. And so you see, he comes out with a bodyguard
Starting point is 00:47:36 on the front and back, and he walks out with his guitar. It's a fucking Paul McCartney. I'm there with Farley's idiot brothers, and they're all drunk. And he comes around, and they they go and one of them goes, hey Paul, and he looks over and he goes, get a little gray, and he goes. And then he walks out and I go,
Starting point is 00:47:55 are you an idiot? He goes, man, he looked and then he goes on the monitor and they're like 15 seconds and he looks in the monitor and he goes like this. He got his head right before he went down. Oh no. And you know he's like, is mine? And then anyway, so I will say one of my proudest moments because sometimes Adam and I would
Starting point is 00:48:16 try to write together or we would all try to think of excuses to all be in the same sketch or whatever. And the one I like the best is the gap girls when we were in the, that was all David, in the mall. And then Farley says, lay off, we I'm sorry. That is one of the funnest ones we ever did. And Schneider was in it and Sarah Gilbert was a host.
Starting point is 00:48:37 Oh yeah. And we were all, that was just the fun for me because we would all just rehearse. So you know, you write it if it gets in, you laugh, it reads, you laugh, you know, when we talk about what plays what parts and what we say. And then you really wrote all that stuff. I know, but then everyone adds jokes, whatever you want. And then we got to do it on, see, you have to rehearse all week or once twice.
Starting point is 00:49:00 Yeah, that's a good reason to hang out as a rehearse. Yeah, that was amazing. Does everyone know about the gap girls? Because there's a young. Right. Okay. Because there's some younger people here. Oh, no.
Starting point is 00:49:10 It was just a sketch where we all worked at the gap. We played girls and it was infuriating. And how did you talk? Whatever. That's right. Yeah. That's right. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:49:23 That's right. Yeah. And I went to the gap and studied it and they showed up, they put a clipboard in the sweaters and pulled them out and folded them out. Yeah. Mesmerized. And then they would actually,
Starting point is 00:49:33 this is when you feel kind of like a big deal because if you get a sketch on and you're just some doofus from Arizona, and it's like a dumb sketch about the gap, and then when they bring the sketches written and is put up on its feet, they bring in, they talk to the gap and brought a whole section of the gap over. So they had a security guard, because it would cost so much, it was real pants, real sweaters, and it was just a chunk of the gap they moved in and the gap liked it because it was free
Starting point is 00:49:59 advertising, even though we made them all look like morons. But it was still really fun and then we all hung out there and would practice in their rehearse whatever it's called and it's great So we did a couple of those we did Gapardy was jeopardy. It was just a fun way for me you and Farley to be in sketches Yeah, and that was that was our names again Say it again. What was our names? Christy Lucy he was Cindy get. Christy, Lucy. He was Cindy, and you might have been Lucy, yeah. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:50:28 And does anyone know? Something like that. get to rock and roll somebody in a sketch. So you and I had a crazy sketch. When I came back to guest host, Binks, you play drums, what? Pepper Boy. Oh, let's talk about Pepper Boy. So that, yeah, that was incredible.
Starting point is 00:50:57 That was like, you and I were peeking on the show. Chris Farley was to mess with us. Yes, Farley crossed his ass. Let's just talk about that for a second. Steve Koren started it. That's right. on the show Chris Farley was Tim Ellis was. Yes, Farley crossed his life. Let's just talk about that for a second. Steve Quarren started. That's right. It wrote it.
Starting point is 00:51:09 So it's just too, I was kind of the, he was my protege. I was the mentor. I was obsessed with how to do the pepper. You know, a huge pepper mill. And Adam was kind of the underling. And really eager. And we, we, I'll just set it up for a second.
Starting point is 00:51:26 We did well and read through. Yeah. Pretty well rehearsal. Dress show pretty good. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Then Steve Corn comes to me and tells me something you want to do. What was it? What was it?
Starting point is 00:51:37 So at one point we had that I was going to. You were going crazy. You were so nervous. Remember I slapped you. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah's comedy. It's always threes. And then I put you right. Yeah, with the sound effect. So between dressing air, Steve Corn the writer comes in and says,
Starting point is 00:51:54 I'm just gonna put the pepper shaker between his legs. So you're gonna do this. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And then we timed it great, but we really peaked on air. Yeah, that was amazing. That doesn't happen every time. We come in, it's so hard. I mean, because Tim Meadows was sitting there and I was doing the pepper.
Starting point is 00:52:10 You like a pepper? I mean, it became way, I don't know, if it was sexual or something, but we were just on another level. I'd say once two weeks, if I'm in a restaurant, a guy with a pepper thing will be like, Frischepepin. I don't know how to hide.
Starting point is 00:52:30 Yeah. Yeah. And do you remember what happened? Like, Farley was always the best at breaking people because he could be explosively funny. Do you remember his line and what he did on the show? I know what it is. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:52:42 We flew in from Tommy Boy for just the show, and then we had on the show. I know what it is. Yeah. We were flew in from Tommy Boy, yes. Ford just the show and then we had to fly back. Oh. And he goes, I have a line in Pepper book. And then he have a big beard. He had a deep, he looked ridiculous. He really hammed it up. He's a blind,
Starting point is 00:52:55 this is why thank you, and Pepper Boy. I'm sorry. He says, This is gonna make you laugh. He goes, Etsy, I'm gonna make you laugh out there. Before he said,
Starting point is 00:53:04 Oh, he talked it, he said before it started, he goes, Etsy, I'm going to make you laugh out there before he's over. He talked it back before it started because Etsy, I'm going to make you laugh out there. And I go, all right, all right. And then he leaves back. What? Thank you, Bear Boy. I've never seen a human being transform like that. I think it's like 12 chimps and perfect amount of pepper. But huge beard for no reason.
Starting point is 00:53:26 But he's screwed in for the air. Yeah, he's so close his eyes still. If Adam starts to turn purple, that's the stage. I'm over here. Adam's turning toward me and trying not to go. The sketch had gone so well that I stayed in character, but I was I said, don't the break. Do you remember that? Of course. That's funny, man. But I was I said a don't the break
Starting point is 00:53:50 Don't you make the problem you would a pro The funny thing is as farly wasn't even supposed to say it that loud it made no sense I thank you pepper Achie loss is viable But that was that was an electric sketch for rest Yeah, well that's his mind, but that was that was an electric sketch for rest man sketch and then it'll cantinawry when we did that one. Well you guys wrote El Cantinaw, that was major was explosive. But you you you you would take the reins murder murder murder. Yeah, then we'd have a little thing to do when we were like let's jump on the Dana fucking thunder. Yeah, well I don't quite
Starting point is 00:54:23 that you guys killed too. You and we're on the go but we got them all right That was an Italian restaurant where every all the waiters are too sexual with Kristi allie and all the yeah all the women that come in They're like oh, but Lisa. I'm a Lisa. Yeah, I start licking Kristi allies face I'm supposed to lick her face really hard and remember in rehearsal. I go this is okay. She goes. Oh, yeah Go for it. What did we want to do? A believe in my life. Oh, you like it. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:54:50 But you guys were just, you know, you and Schneider came in with Schneider had no clothes on or something. I had no clothes on. That was the guy back then, I could take my fucking shirt off and feel okay. Now there's a reason the sweatshirts on it. Yeah, another shirt in case that somehow falls off. You know, another crusher was lunch lady, and in a great song I called Taylor
Starting point is 00:55:17 about a year ago. Yeah, it's on my iPod and it came in and this is a good song when you go Slap Air Joe, Slap Slap Air Joe. I go the way you write it and it came in and I really this is a good song when you go Slap Air Joe Slap Slap Air Joe yeah I go the way you write it and it's actually funny and then you a sketch and it's funny and then you hear it again you go that's actually a good song like you can it's always catchy songs it's saying that I sang that on my album before I sang it on Saturday night like oh yeah oh yeah I did it first on the album and Farley was at the taping of my album. And so when I'm singing on the album, Slavadro, I think I'm in Santa Barbara.
Starting point is 00:55:52 I don't remember where I was. Just a cool club. I'm sorry, I forgot the name of it, but it was a club we were recording. Farley was in the crowd going nuts. And then he's his crazy voice is so when I'm going to Slavadro, Slavadro, Slavadro, you hear Farley going, nuts and then you he's his crazy voices so when I'm going to slah me to his lab as I'm at you you hear far they're going
Starting point is 00:56:08 love it oh my god I even heard the saw me before he just kind of said all right he's gonna say no I did it yeah that was the question what was that on they're gonna laugh at you which was they're all about you times platinum that was a biggie you're the last guy to really sell comedy albums. I think I mean I don't know if there's there's been some after but with that back in the day that was you were on it Yeah, everybody was anybody. Anybody the buddy. We did buddy dude buddy dude homie Yeah, that was a great one. What the hell happened to you was another one That was where your real acidy humor came out on those albums.
Starting point is 00:56:47 That was where I got to curse a lot for the first time. And David cursed with me and we all, we were so excited. It was like being on Saturday night. I just thought it was like jazz. I mean, I mean, the one about the announcer with the champion, you say the word champion. It's a golf announcer. You do it.
Starting point is 00:57:04 You say the word champion. It's a golf announcer. You do it. You say the word champion like 500 times. It's about a golfer who has like a nine stroke lead and he's on the last hole when he keeps missing thoughts. And you're the announcer. The announcer going to the champion is is feeling it today and he's about to set the course record and the champion. And then he fights it and he hear the crowd go, oh, and he went to the champion. He lost that all eight stroke lead now. He's like, you know, oh, I got a shit. And then he gets more and more just insane closer to being like choking and he's like, well, he's up three strokes.
Starting point is 00:57:44 Hopefully he can put this one in and and then it's Blake Clark is doing the voice of the chat. Oh, Blake Sharpen is going, God fucking damn it. But anyways, those albums were good because like they lay into the crowd of college kids in the summer and then you come back and you're even bigger on a snob because they're like playing them over and over. The album's with the big, big, smart deal. Besides Saturday night live because like you said, I would go out on tour. The kids who were coming to see me knew the album, so they knew some of the songs, knew some of the characters and that definitely relaxed me on stage from all of us.
Starting point is 00:58:21 We used to have fun. Well, let's just say, because you've given me a lot of props that by the time you're after about two years in on SNL, you really were just like top notch. I mean, you're crushing consistently on that show. And the audience was falling in love with you because when you'd sing Hanukkah song, when you would do your guitar,
Starting point is 00:58:41 or thanks, give me a song. Right, right, right. First of all, you're actually, you're a really good acoustic player. Not bad. And you can hold a great melody and then it's so silly and funny and also watching you enjoy it. Not breaking, but just the light in your eyes.
Starting point is 00:58:55 It's so infectious, you know. It was exciting, yeah, man. I remember that. I remember singing that at the table. The Turkey song, the Thanksgiving song for like, Smigel and a couple of the writers at the table going, you know, singing it to him and if they laughed, I was like, oh, fuck, okay, they think it's funny. It was a big deal. If those guys, the great writers on the show, when they would smile at what your
Starting point is 00:59:19 idea was, like, Jim Downey, if he said something was good, you would just like, even if he didn't get on you were like I'm right Yeah, we had we had the 18 there was yes Genius downy brilliant, you know, we had some Redders Where's your first movie that was when we did the summer we did Tommy were you to Billy Madison, right? yes, yes and then and then the next summer
Starting point is 00:59:44 Happy Gilmore happy Gilmore? Happy Gilmore. And then those movies kept making it more than the other one, so you give you another one. And then it was wedding singer, wasn't it? Wedding singer. Yeah. And then the water boy,
Starting point is 00:59:57 I think that was where it was the mic drop. At that point, you were a movie star. Yeah, it was too big. When you do happy, you did of course, Billy Madison, but you do happy Gil more, the wedding singer and water boy. Within like 24 months or something. Then big daddy.
Starting point is 01:00:11 Another mega monster. Yeah, too many. I can't even, you know, when water boy came out, I was hosting and you were there that weekend and we were going to do a bit in the monologue and then you had to fly back. Water boy was such a fucking, they told us, or they told you how much it made. And everyone's like, what the fuck? And then you had to get back and I changed my monologue and I just did stand up.
Starting point is 01:00:32 I wasn't doing stand up in my long. You kidding me, I was supposed to go out with you. Well, we're gonna do audience member, you know when you go, dude. Oh, I guess, get out of here. And you're gonna run my monologue with questions. And then they go, Lauren goes, well, you know, you said you had to go and I go,
Starting point is 01:00:44 all right, well, what do I do? And he goes, stand up. Oh, really? Aren't you a stand up? I go, well, I fucking never do it anymore. I go, tonight. So it was just throw some things together. I go, so you can't go practice or run a catch rising star. So I put some together. But it's so fucking terrifying new monologue anyway. And then yeah, yeah, forwardless, posting, sorry. And everyone's a, that is the worst when you're doing stand up and you're about to go out and you look for the mic
Starting point is 01:01:14 and then the guy makes the decision for you like, don't use a hand mic, use this. And then you go, and you don't have a fucking mic in the hand, you're like, how old are you shit? What do I do with both my hands? I feel like this is a- I know, we're not used to it.
Starting point is 01:01:29 Yeah. Or a mic stand, I lean on a mic stand sometimes, not there. Oh yeah. Yeah, yeah, looking for a mic stand, a lean on right there. It's just like drowning. Yeah. Yeah, I mean, first start to stand up, you just hold a mic like this.
Starting point is 01:01:39 Oh, God, you're choking. And yeah. Yeah. Did you go with Bill, like we, I'm sorry. I remember shooting Billy Madison and you guys were shooting Tommy Boy and hanging out with him. Yeah. Up in Toronto.
Starting point is 01:01:54 Yeah, we're in the same place. Because we came over there and that was a night. When you remember what you did that thing called, there was like a crime scene joke with everybody where they go in the room and you go walk in and it's a crime scene. Anyway. So, but, but, oh yeah, but Adam's movie was called Billy Madison. Our movie was called Billy the Third.
Starting point is 01:02:13 Yeah, it was Billy the Third. And so we changed it and we just didn't have, we know what to call it, of all things we both have the same lead as the same name. So we eventually changed ours because the name of the movie was Billy the third. But fucking hanging out in Toronto with you and Farley. Oh, that was great. We had a couple of weeks together. Right. It wasn't on night. I hate it. And then, uh, oh yeah. So then you do all those movies that seem to work out for it. You just do movies. Uh, by the way, my wife and I watched, we watched hustle last night. What did you say? Hustle. Hustle. Hustle. H hustle? You so loved it. Yeah, I think it's a great movie. Yeah, we have a lot of hustle as a movie's got coming out
Starting point is 01:02:50 I know movie. Yes, it's on Netflix and it's about it's kind of like Hoosers meets Rocky Yes, money ball. Yes, yes, and you're great in it. Thank you. I mean really great. Thank you. Thank you It's a it's just a it's a it's just really, you know, where it really works is a movie. I can't. I got Tariya. Yeah, man. That's a great thing. I mean, I don't know how much we can give away.
Starting point is 01:03:13 Adam's a basketball agent. Oh, you were? I didn't like it at all. Like a... I don't know how to do that. I don't know how to do that. I think it's a different movie. No,'t. I can't. I can't. I can't.
Starting point is 01:03:26 I can't. I can't. I can't. I can't. I can't. I can't. I can't. I can't.
Starting point is 01:03:34 I can't. I can't. I can't. I can't. I can't. I can't. I can't. I can't.
Starting point is 01:03:42 I can't. I can't. I can't. I can't. I can't. I can't. I can it. Yeah, you like the sixers? I'm nervous about you. Well there. I hope I'm nervous. Yeah, that is a good team though. But anyways, I discover a guy in Spain, Wancho Hernan Gomez. He's just a, he's an NBA player who never acted a day in his life. Yeah. And he's so fucking good. He's so great. He really believes he's just from this little village and really just has nothing going on. Beautiful jump shot. I knew it wasn't seen.
Starting point is 01:04:09 Yeah, I mean, I'm amazing. All you think is how many times you got to do every scene he makes, every basket, you go, is he making all these fucking baskets? Cause I've been on sets where they're like, going again, I'm like, make it. Let's get the fuck outta here. But it's very hard to do that in all the scenes where it's pivotal.
Starting point is 01:04:26 He has to make it in a crowd with a crowd behind him. And you got all these NBA players in it. It's very real. It's unbelievable. Unbelievable. How Heidi Garter. Is it Heidi Garter? Heidi's in it.
Starting point is 01:04:37 Oh yeah, he's got an ice in it. Heidi Garter is in it. She, that's right. Yeah, Heidi Garter. She plays rock. She did a nice job. She did a nice job. Who Robert DeValle Owens in the movie owns the Sixers. Yeah, and
Starting point is 01:04:48 he has Ben Foster's son and Heidi Gardner's daughter and they all work for the organization and Heidi's excellent in it. Yeah, and she's great in it and Duval must have been huge to be in that same amazing hangout. Duval must like. I should shot the shit with Robert Dubov for, we would together three, four days, did all our scenes together, we talked and talked and sat, I sat in a, he has a Rolls Royce in the movie, I fucking sat in the back of a Rolls Royce, just talked about the Godfather, talked about everything.
Starting point is 01:05:18 Back between the setups. And it wasn't like, he just was cool, he was just talking about everything. And he's 90 something years old. And he was just a sweetheart and he was great, great stories. Really James Khan. And he just fucking knows everybody. See, that would just, you'd be,
Starting point is 01:05:37 you're a fly on the wall at that point. Yeah, yeah. And he's talking about the Godfather. Talk about the Godfather. Just saying the first time. You try not to ask him about it. You're like, what other movies you do you like? And he's like, the protection squad,
Starting point is 01:05:50 Sony, but you always have to. It's that, yeah. That's all God. He was a big hit. He was a big hit. I think, because the movie, I don't want to give anything away, but it kind of goes rollercoastery, but you have to get on the phone.
Starting point is 01:06:04 And it was like very like great acting solid scene where I was like, oh my God, that must have been hard to do, but like a tear jerk, or there's a couple of scenes like that in there that really get you into the movie, into the movie, and that guy was the basketball player who was great.
Starting point is 01:06:20 Actually, remember I ran into you? Yeah, we played golf with a bunch of, and you were with him. Yeah, yeah, this guy's in the movie and then he was super cool. That he's such, he's six nine. Yeah. He's from Spain. His, his brother or both are in the NBA. He plays for the Spanish national team.
Starting point is 01:06:38 He was, he's on the Utah Jazz now. And he just did it as a fucking joke. Cause of the pandemic. They were like, going around saying, we're looking for a basketball player. Adam Sandler's got some movie, LeBron James is producing. And his sister said, why don't you do it just for fun. And he did it. He auditioned. We were like, geez, that guy's pretty damn good. So good in it. It's amazing. He's a. You get these scenes like when you have to do a real crying scene in a movie or something like that, I don't know about you cry a lot.
Starting point is 01:07:10 I've seen that. But in real life, I don't cry that much. But on a movie, I said it. Every day. When you have to cry in a scene, you're just like, oh my god, how the fuck is that going to happen? Yeah. Whatever. Your work hard. I cry in a scene, you're just like, oh my God, how the fuck is that gonna happen? And whatever, your work heart, this Wancho did like 10 setups of different angles, blah, blah, blah,
Starting point is 01:07:32 and he was just bawling, crying, and saying his lines perfect, I'm like this, and he's a handsome fucking guy. He's good looking dude, I was trying to understand, but he's so good looking, he can cry, he's got it all, he's got it all, it's just game over. It's six, nine crying hands, motherfucker. Six, ten and a half actually, sobs like a baby every day.
Starting point is 01:07:55 I started angry. I started angry. I was 13, Dana, I would give you guys a tip. If you're ever in a movie, you have to cry. And it's hard to. Yeah. You fake it and you go like this. Mmm. You get glassy. You love the end of time, you boy. you have to cry and it's hard to yeah you fake it and you go like this
Starting point is 01:08:07 and get glassy He's obviously crying. That's good It does work. It's called great acting but Adam Do you feel like because you know you had on cut gems that was pretty good, right? Yeah, thank you, Dana. So then I saw that and then I see this one. It seems like you're either, I don't know, and the murder mystery movie, I mean, you're on a roll. I mean, are you feeling like you're more on a roll
Starting point is 01:08:39 since high school? Are you changing up stuff because you seem to be at this other level? Or is it just from doing it so much? I think I'm getting older, more opportunities, guys like the safty brothers. Yes. The safty brothers, so your brother,
Starting point is 01:08:57 he kind of worked with them as the gate going out. They were great friends with Andy. And I met them 12 years ago. They were talking about Unca Ch I met them. It's got 12 years ago. They were talking about Uncut Chums then. Uncut Chums. I was sort of the muse for just a... Because I met him for a few years ago. Uncut Chums.
Starting point is 01:09:16 Yeah. But those guys are super cool, very good. They did. I think they did a Kate spade commercial that I know you guys met yeah and I think a and he wrote an idea and they did it and then it somehow went to the canned film festival and then they did a movie called I think daddy long legs after that yeah incredible and then they just kept getting they were just better and better and better and yes did yours and you
Starting point is 01:09:41 know maybe one day you do another one with the best guy another one they're writing another one right now but I looked I'm getting to do all this great stuff. No bomb back PTA Yeah, they all hooked me up. They all wrote great stuff. They asked me to be in it Jim Brooks Yeah, Paul Thomas and then you just get more relaxed over time, right? You get more in the pocket. You get, I guess I'm getting, I just did a movie with Johan Rank and he did Chernobyl.
Starting point is 01:10:13 He did the series Chernobyl. He's incredible and I played an astronaut in it and a guy is fucking crazy in the movie and going through a lot of pain and I went, yeah, just fucking do it and go and try your hardest. That's all I do. I try my best and the ones that don't work, they go, all right, we got to cut around that. But I try to get as good as I can and they make it work. Is it ever scary?
Starting point is 01:10:38 Because these guys do great movies or great TV show and PTA, obviously, one of the best actors. One of the best ever. Yeah. And then, but you know PTA a little bit, but if you get lucky enough, you know, you're paired up with some great director and usually on sets like growing up, so those kind of movies you have more of a say. But you have to kind of keep quiet somewhat, not totally, but, and trust them.
Starting point is 01:11:03 And you ever get a feeling where you're like, I don't even know this guy, I know this guy knows what the fuck's going on. I mean, that must be scary. These guys, because they're so good, but you go, it's gonna work, they know what they're doing. That must be hard. Then you just go, you just give yourself to them, because you know they're great,
Starting point is 01:11:15 and you read the script, and you just don't wanna let them down, and you jump in their world, and it is neat. It's neat, not, I always feel more comfortable doing comedy. I'm always More at ease going on. We're gonna go make a movie and have a great time and try to come up with the best jokes and make everybody laugh Yeah, I love that. I'll love that the rest of my life just like you guys This we're addicted to that, but the other stuff I'm getting to do It's awesome. I know you both would crush that also. It's just different.
Starting point is 01:11:50 It's fun. It's a different day in the trailer. You don't go, what the fuck? Let me come up with a joke. You're kind of sitting there going, oh, I got to get in this mood right now. Well, the jokes are kind of crutchy, because you know how to do it.
Starting point is 01:12:04 And you know, if you have a scene that's not working, you go, I think we can figure out this if we think of a joke or way out, which is what you do a lot on a comedy. But in these, you're like, this is just connecting, it's part of connecting the dots of the bigger picture. So not a lot has to happen right here,
Starting point is 01:12:21 and it's hard to trust that. That's true. Just do what it is. They'll figure, I mean, sometimes they had music or something and you go, oh, I see what trust that. That's true. Just do what it is. I mean, sometimes they add music or something, and you go, oh, I see what they did. It's perfect. Yeah, that's true.
Starting point is 01:12:29 You don't know when you're doing it. And then when you're doing it, and it's not right, those guys tell you, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, and you go, oh, and you feel stupid for a second. You go, oh, I was giving you a little extra, and they were like, come down, come down. You should sit up a bit there. They're making it real good for the people. And they go like, come down, come down. She used it up a bit there. They're making it real good for the people.
Starting point is 01:12:47 And they go, no, no, no. Believe me, they want to see you, right? Those are the brothers, right? The safety brothers and brothers. And I'm cut jabs. Ronnie, Dana, what else do you have for Adam? We got to take a few questions. We don't chill tonight.
Starting point is 01:13:00 I do think it's kind of cool that you did, there's so many movies, we talked to Drew bear more about Fifty first day that was great. We drew. It's great Drew gave you answers that were incredible every time doesn't Drew automatically take even a half a question and she fucking goes She's poetically does a seven minute answer Yeah, yeah She goes I'm gonna guess your next three questions, and here's the answers.
Starting point is 01:13:28 When I went to SNL, we were like, okay, made it easier. I was like, I need to talk to her talking about being a little kid on SNL. Oh, I know. Yeah. At age seven, I've listened to every episode of your show. You have? I fucking love this show. It's the best.
Starting point is 01:13:44 Yeah. She's so happy for both this show. It's the best. Yeah. I'm so happy for both of you. It's the greatest. Well, it's fun to do because, you know, like we don't get to hang out with our friends at my store. This is our chance to do that. Right. You know, the other one I wanted to ask you,
Starting point is 01:13:56 did Angerman, so you got to work with Jack Nicholson. Yes. Unreal. And I really got to know him. And you told a funny story about peanut butter. Just hang out at his house. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. That's right, man.
Starting point is 01:14:09 My first day over, Nicholson's, I got there, and he keeps the house dim. And so I'm sitting in this chair, and Jack's sitting in this chair, we're facing each other about five feet away from each other, and we're talking and shit, and I'm going, it's dark enough that I'm going into my head. I don't think this is Jack Nicholson.
Starting point is 01:14:32 I think like they brought out a fake one to talk to me and see if I'm located, talk to the real one, so I'm just going like this. And he's like talking quietly, and it doesn't sound like the impression everybody does. You know, you know, whatever. Maybe let me tell you something. It's not like that. It's kind of like, yeah, man, it's kind of quiet and cool and little saying, man, let me just, I don't know.
Starting point is 01:14:57 He just has a cooler voice, but I was not really believing it was him. And then I do like an hour of that. And then at the end of he goes, you're hungry or something like that? I said, yeah, yeah, I could eat. He goes, you want a sandwich? And I said, yeah, that sounds great, man. And he's like, PB and Jane.
Starting point is 01:15:22 And I go, that's fucking great. Then he gets up and walks away, then he turns around, he looks at me and he goes, Skippy or Jim? That sounds like it. I thought also that you went outside for a minute, and you're outside, he came out and he held up the jars. Oh, that's what I was.
Starting point is 01:15:39 Skippy or Jim. That's a funny image. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. So I remember your story. Yeah, that was a better than me, man. I ran in him with Lauren, of course, with Lauren. And we had dinner and he goes, and he's come, there's an empty seat, you know, as a stupid?
Starting point is 01:15:58 No, no, no, no. Okay. So Lauren goes, we're gonna have some spaghetti. And I was with Rosie, she's over there, I was over here. Torso Lee, and I'm at empty seat. And Lauren sits here, so there's an empty seat. And Jack sits next to Rosie, and he starts talking, and then he goes, one time I went to the MTV
Starting point is 01:16:19 or just something, or something, and he goes, I ran out and it was so dark I got in the wrong limo and I sat down and everyone just stared at me and it was Nirvana and he goes, and he goes, we're just, and anyway in the wrong limo I go, uh oh, and then she goes, did they not know who you were and he goes, well that's never happened.
Starting point is 01:16:41 Yeah. It's all what they knew he was. Could I tell Quinter Nikolson one? Yeah. Related to SNL. So Phil, Harman, and John Loveitz and I are playing the Part 3 in Studio City. Uh-huh. What's it?
Starting point is 01:16:55 Yeah, we're on the green. We waved the guy on, and he shoots it out of bounds, and he walks over. We realize it's Nikolson. Right, right. So he walks up, and Phil Harman had dubbed his voice in the movie The Border, because they couldn't get a hold's Nicholson, you know. So he walks up and Phil Harman had dubbed his voice in the movie The Border, because they couldn't get a hold of Nicholson. He feels very respectful and he goes,
Starting point is 01:17:10 Mr. Nicholson, I dubbed your voice in the movie The Border. One beat and he goes, no wonder it was my only stinker. That's a good one, yeah. As a joke. All right, let's take some questions or a question. We'll, as a joker. All right, let's take some questions. Questions. We'll get Adam out of here. By the way, just so you know, before Nicholson did anger management, he called Lauren. He called Lauren to see if it was he had Lauren read
Starting point is 01:17:37 the script. Oh really? He goes, I've just just got to make sure. See if it was funny or so he goes, oh really? It makes me laugh. And let me just let go. He goes, he is the man and Lord rest. I skimmed it. He went through it and gave it the blessing. So I owned a Lord for that too. We all learn a lot. Yes. And Lauren, you appreciate Lord more and more every year you're away from the show. What he has to deal with the ego's, the politics, keeping the sensibility in a certain frequency, is he'll have to turn into he-ha in a second. Oh man, he likes smart, he'll have to be glad. So there's a lot of respect for him.
Starting point is 01:18:15 That's very true. All right, how are we gonna do Q&A? How do we do it? Oh, they line up over there? Okay, line up with him if anybody has a question, we'll do a couple, and then we'll get to. Greg Holtzman, we'll get you guys to the other three hotpers tonight. All right, here we go. Hi there. Oh, we're starting. Yeah. Okay, go ahead, you man.
Starting point is 01:18:39 Hey, Michael. So I was wondering, you were talking about, like, childhood things that you remember. What was the first, like, extravagant purchase you made when you made it big? That's a good one. I got my leather jacket, and you remember? I got a blazing category movie and I bought a $400 leather jacket. There was too heavy, but I couldn't give it up. It was like a motorcycle one. And it hurt my neck, but I wanted to wear it. And then
Starting point is 01:19:06 I think I wore the improv when I first I was around out of it. The first thing you ever said to me was, can you un-zip her me? Help me get it off when I have to lay down now. That was it. Mine was other jacket. They know what you got. What did you get? I'm putting my own money that I bought. I think I went out, my father had a green, dark green and light green, 78 Cadillac Fleetwood, or some shit when I was in high school. And at my first big move, I went out to an old Cadillac place. They didn't have that color, but I got that same caddy
Starting point is 01:19:43 and had them painted that color. That was like my big personal. That's cool. That's pretty much for it. How much can I change mine? You must have got more. I'm going to live in Jackhead based on your home sales recently. Sorry. He did well. David invested well. Yes. What was your... What'd you get? My wife and I did a silly thing. We walked in in Sino, we walked into a Mercedes dealership and we bought Mercedes cars, like 100,000 more cars. I bought a convertible coupe and I drove it for like a week
Starting point is 01:20:17 and then a plastic windshield, like, what the fuck? So I got, I took it back and got us a Dan. That was just during my German phase. You know, I had a Volvo. I have a Volvo now, it's turning sexy. What was it? Go ahead, next one. Yeah, I was gonna ask you about the origins
Starting point is 01:20:34 of your trademark, you know, Adam Sandler voice, but you kind of already answered that. Yeah. But so my next question is, do your daughters do like an Adam Sandler impression? Like, they do, they go like, they're all out for the reward, whatever. They don't do that, they don't know that album yet, but they do both do the ad. Yeah, you.
Starting point is 01:20:54 Oh yeah, they do that. Every time I'm trying to be funny and it doesn't work. That's funny. Yes, that. Thank you. Thanks, man. Sorry, I to be. It's going to be. That's funny. Yes, that.
Starting point is 01:21:07 Thank you. Thanks, man. Sorry, I'm shorter. Hi, guys. Hi. Hi. My name is Shalice from Houston. Nice to see you, buddy.
Starting point is 01:21:15 So my question is, what out of all the films you guys have, if you guys can go back and do a sequel to any of y'all's previous films, what would it be? Uh, shit. Wait, wait, wait. One is World 3. One is World 3. One is World 3.
Starting point is 01:21:29 Garget 60. Garget. Wait. I gotta get some flowbacks. Yeah, flowbacks. I don't know if it would work. Go ahead, Adam. We've done so many movies.
Starting point is 01:21:42 What would be the sequel? What would you, what would you do? I can't think of the name right now with you did with the cage and love it's oh Trapped in paradise. Yeah, that'd be fun to just work with this Tough shoe we fell down in the snow and yeah, we just you doing Brad Gray and right? I was doing Brad Gray and then Mickey Rort. I don't know what you're doing but I wouldn't do it. Oh yeah. You're doing Mickey Rort. The studio flew in from LA. We're in the middle of woods in Canada and said you got to stop doing that. Yeah. But Nicholas Kate said I
Starting point is 01:22:18 would do it anyway. He was a great character. I guess that's it, right? I don't know. What would you do a sequel to? You have so many movies. No idea. I like them all. I like doing grownups with Davey because we all hung out. We had a lot of time.
Starting point is 01:22:35 Don't grow up. Don't grow up. It could work. You have three? Don't. You have three. Whatever it is. I like to do it with it.
Starting point is 01:22:43 It's always great when you're with your friends. Growing up, we literally got to do with it. It's always great when you're with your friends growing up. We literally got to do this every day. I was a student. So the chairs hang out, try to be funny and cut around it. Yeah, that thing's been keeping the lights on at TBS for the last seven years. That's on.
Starting point is 01:22:59 I'm heavy rotation. Yeah. Sure. But I love it. I love growing ups. That was a great memory. That was a great memory. Yeah, thank you for that question. Thank you Cheers you guys are wonderful. This is amazing. Hey, man I
Starting point is 01:23:13 My question what I suppose you guys have written for so many different like wonderful projects in both film and TV and of course On Saturday night live and my question was um on Saturday Night Live. And my question was, do you think that to properly like kind of well, like master that sort of craft, do you think it's like writing as much as you can? Like every day is really the proper way to get to a point where you feel comfortable with your writing.
Starting point is 01:23:40 Or do you think also, I suppose, do you think it's also helpful to like try and collaborate with other people that you know you'd work well with? Sounds a little like John Mulaney. This guy, yeah. I would say, if I would take that, my first answer would be, if it's stand up, just get as much stage time as time as you can, and if it's writing, I think it just more is better,
Starting point is 01:24:05 collaborating or writing by yourself, just anything you can do until something sticks. I would say. Right, right, right. I remember I lived with Appetal when I was young. Judd, right. And Appetal, he was the first one of us that would write. Yeah, he was a smart about it.
Starting point is 01:24:22 He used to sit in his room and write skits all the time. He wasn't on Saturday night, but he would write kind of skits for the guy. He would collaborate with people and he was smart. He made himself like a producer because that was a valuable thing to help someone do what they're doing. Jim Carrier, you. I would say, what is your name?
Starting point is 01:24:41 My name is Ambrose. Okay. All right, I remember. That's all right. It's a cool one. No, that's a great shardonnay. No, anyway. Ambrose, I would just say initially that seems like too much pressure to me to try to go into room and stuff.
Starting point is 01:24:56 If you're a comedy writer, just write everything down. That's what George Carlin said. So if you're out with your friends a lot of times just taking a walk or going to a movie, someone will say something Make sure you the record it or write it down and just do it spontaneously all the time and your headset gets into Yeah, it's hard to just sit and write and be funny It happens all day and if you just write it when happens And don't say you'll remember it later because you won't so just write it write it write it
Starting point is 01:25:21 Then you collect it and go is there anything anything here, is there anything here? That stuff's very valuable. You basically only need to write five good jokes your whole life, and then like David, you use that to rest your life. And you're going to do it in days. Yeah. It's a spade, bro. It's all right. Thank you guys so much.
Starting point is 01:25:41 Good luck, you guys. All right. All right. What do we got? I'm boss. Good luck, you guys. All right, what do we got? I'm Bruce. I'm Bruce. Hi. I have a favorite ask you guys.

But he's not a man arrow For a Indian guy you you're so psyched you followed Ambrose, too Like he's kind of take it down Ambrose is looking for a pen and paper David tuned out so Steve Martin of course all our heroes. Yeah, we want to be great to have time all the time.
Starting point is 01:28:28 Yeah, first time Hall of Famers. Steve Martin. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Probably the number one ballot for us, right? He was probably the number one guy. Matturized his albums on his albums. Wow, the crazy guy. Yeah, all the shit.
Starting point is 01:28:41 Steve Martin did so of course being in a movie was him with him was just staring at him and waiting for like Quiet moments to run over and say something and if hopefully he'd respond and So I love that he was very nice to me and then Philipsy more often To the four-sec guysec. He was just a very good, funny man, took it serious, went hardcore and when we worked together. By the way, Philip, see more Hoffman. I don't know if you guys know this.
Starting point is 01:29:17 So we're doing Billy Madison. I think we wrote, oh no, that happy Gilmore. No, maybe Billy Madison, we wrote for Bob Odin Kirk. Wrote that for Bob Odin Kirk, the bad guy in the movie. And the fucking studio wouldn't allow it. They're like, you can't just have your friends. And we were like, no, he's fucking great. And they said, no, it was.
Starting point is 01:29:41 Bob Odin Kirk, Bob Odin, he was a writer. They said no. So I think that's how, how, when I think it's that. Okay, so we want to Bob, they said no was Bob Otter Kirk. Bob Otter, he was a writer of the same film. So I think that's how, how, when I think it's that, okay. So we want to Bob, they said no, they put out, you got audition, you know, audition people, Philip C. Morehoppin auditioned. And I was in Toronto getting ready to make the movie and it still wasn't cast yet.

So I tell the people I show universal, can we have this guy and you're good with him? I mean, you fucking said no to Odin Kirk, are we okay with this guy? And they were like, and it took some talking into it and then they said, yes, then we offered it to him and we get this call back like he doesn't want to do it. And we were like he doesn't want to do any media audition. And so like, let me fucking talk to him this guy and tell him how great he is and I call them up and I
